Murdoch: There is an Ongoing War Against the Jews
You must think I'm at it again, using sarcasm to illustrate an inversion of reality. But it wasn't me who made that statement. That was actually a quote by Rupert Murdoch; from a speech he delivered Wednesday night, at the annual Anti-Defamation League banquet in New York City.
You remember who Rupert Murdoch is, right? He's the Australian born, multi-billionaire media magnate who's niched out a pretty comfortable life for himself—here in the colonies—at the expense of a gullible American audience.
"We live in a world where there is an ongoing war against the Jews."
Come on! That's a gut buster!
All right, enough. Let's get down to business.
Murdoch is a freakin' liar. We've all known that for some time. But here's where he literally goes off the deep end. During Wednesday night's hate-fest, the geriatric towel boy for the Israeli bathhouse actually suggested that the first phase of the war on the Jews had been "conventional in nature," with the goal "to use military force to overrun Israel."
I suppose he's talking about the 1967 Six-Day War. Everyone knows that the victors of military conflicts are the same ones who write the history books. Apparently, Murdoch is reading from one of these texts, that paints Israel as the innocent victim of Arab aggression.
In reality, the suppressed history conclusively proves Israel to be the aggressor.
In a 1997 article from the Boston Globe, conversations held in 1976 quote Israel's Ex-defense chief, Moshe Dayan saying that kibbutz leaders from Galilee persuaded the Prime Minister at the time, Levi Eshkol, to attack the Golan on the fourth day of the 1967 Six-Day War because they wanted the land.
"They thought about the land of the Golan. I know what went on. I saw them and I spoke with them. They didn't even try to hide their lust for that soil. That's what guided them." According to Dayan, "Eighty percent of the incidents worked like this: We would send tractors to plow in an area of little use, in a demilitarized zone, knowing ahead of time that the Syrians would shoot. If they didn't start shooting, we would tell the tractors to advance until the Syrians would get aggravated and start shooting. We used artillery and later the air force became involved."
Other corroborating evidence can be found in a New York Times article from 1982, which quotes former cabinet minister Menachem Begin from an address given to Israel's National Defence College.
"In June 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian army concentrations in the Sinai did not prove Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with our selves. We decided to attack him".
The only "military force" used to "overrun" anybody is that which has been deployed by Israel against the people of Palestine. That's been going on since Israel began its occupation in 1948, and has been responsible for the displacement of millions of Palestinians from their ancestral homes into crowded ghettos on the West Bank, in the big open air prison known as Gaza and abroad.
Murdoch then claims that phase two of the war on the Jews was "terrorism," that targets Jews both at home and abroad— "from the massacre of Israeli athletes at Munich to the second intifada." He noted that the terrorists "continue to target Jews across the world."
Don't you just love that word 'terrorism?' It's such a psychologically effective tool to manipulate the minds of the English speaking public. Terror is synonymous with evil, and is therefore equated to the work of the devil. If you allow yourself to digest this word into your lexicon, you will find it difficult to extend any human compassion to those who you consider 'demons' who dwell in the 'otherworldly regions' of a mythical, spiritual world.
In the real world, there is no terrorism. The real world definition of terrorism is 'revenge.' These 'demons' are actually real people who have lost their children, parents, neighbors and best friends to paranoid wars of Jewish survival. It is Newton's third law incarnate: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If you want to stop 'vengeance,' stop inflicting injuries that incite retaliation. It's a pretty simple formula for peace.
Now here's a gem that I couldn't wait to get to. Rupert ('cause I'm kind of tired of calling him Murdoch) says that the newest phase of this war on the Jews is being waged by mainstream heavy weights.
According to the New York Sun:
"The new phase of the war is what Mr. Murdoch called "the soft war that seeks to isolate Israel by delegitimizing it." It's a war in which, he said, "[t]he battleground is everywhere," such as the press and broadcasting, multinational organizations and non-governmental organizations. The aim is the same, "to make Israel a pariah."
You don't need to "delegitimize" something that was illegitimate from the beginning.
Israel claims that its legitimacy was endorsed by the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the UN General Assemblies partition plan resolution of 1947.
But Britain had no right to promise land that was not theirs. At the time, Palestine was controlled by Ottoman Turkey. All that the Balfour Declaration did was allow the Zionists, who sought to control that region, claim that they had been recognized by a major power.
The UN General Assembly also had no right to promise a portion of land to the Zionists without the consent of a majority of the Palestinian people. But they went ahead and passed a resolution anyway, which effectively partitioned Palestine into one Arab and one Jewish State. However, this resolution never reached the Security Council for final approval.
The resolution became invalid, and discussion about what to do next was again brought before the General Assembly. It was during this time that Israel got tired of waiting and simply declared itself into existence, in defiance of the international community and over the objections of the people of Palestine.
Murdoch's claim that the press and broadcasting community is engaged in a "soft war" against Jews is laughable on its face. Just ask the longtime White House reporter Helen Thomas what happens when you dare to say "boo" to Israel.
If you want a mainstream example of a "hard war," waged by the press and broadcasting community against an entire people, you need look no further than Murdoch's Fox News. And you don't have to look that far back. In fact, you can almost daily find hateful rhetoric being propagated by their racist pundits.
Just yesterday, Bill O'Reilly made an appearance on The View. When the topic of the proposed Mosque (actually a community center) near Ground Zero came up, O'Reilly spared no time declaring, "The Muslims killed us on 9/11!" To their credit, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed out of the room while the audience gasped.
Do you think these conscientious women will now be labeled as Anti-Semites? I wouldn't be surprised. It doesn't take too much to be accused of Anti-Semitism these days.
If you're a Gentile who patronizes a Jewish Deli, and you send back a corn beefed sandwich because it has too much mustard…guess what? You're an Anti-Semite!
In reality, there is no ongoing war against the Jews. This is a complete fiction. The ongoing war that is being waged right now is against the Islamic people. This war is being waged in the pages of the print media, across the radio dials, on millions of television sets, on thousands of movie screens, on the floor of the House and Senate, and on three battlefronts throughout the Middle East.
