Interview with Argument Historical and Investigative Research - 31 December
2006 Osmund Gjerde from the Norwegian magazine Argument recently
interviewed me. The list of questions and answers turned out to be too much
material, so we decided on the following solution. I would publish the full
list of questions and answers here, and he would write an article for his
magazine based on some of this material:
Here below is the hyperlinked ( █ ) full list
of questions, with my answers.
___________________________________________________________ 1) Q. What proof do you have that the reason you
were fired was your views on US policy towards Israel? A. The single best piece of
evidence is a letter that I wasn’t supposed to see (somebody placed,
anonymously, a copy of it in my mailbox [1]). This letter was written by Ian
Lustick, professor in the political science department at the University of
Pennsylvania, and also a director of the Solomon Asch Center for Study of
Ethnopolitical Conflict. The Asch Center is the poli-sci ‘think tank’ inside
the Penn psychology department that got interested in my work and brought me
to Penn. Ian Lustick’s letter was addressed to Robert DeRubeis, then chairman
of the Department of Psychology (and hence my boss, as I had been hired as an
assistant professor of psychology). Lustick begins his letter by stating that he is
replying to an official request to evaluate me for the normal process of
reappointment to a second three-year contract, for which I was then due:
But other than a quick remark praising my scientific
research, there is not one lonely word about the anthropological and
psychological work I do that got the University of Pennsylvania interested in
me, and which I had continued doing and publishing in academic journals. Ian
Lustick’s “impressions” of my “teaching and research” are nowhere to be found
in his letter. What his letter contains is a long string of complaints
concerning my public service journalism investigating the activities and
history of terrorist groups such as the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization). Even there, Lustick does not complain about the
quality of these investigations but merely about my conclusions. This is to
say that he does not accuse me of making any errors of documentation in my
writings on the PLO and other terrorist groups (such as the Kosovo Liberation
Army, KLA, the Bosnian Muslim troops of Alija Izetbegovic, and the terrorist
Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka); Lustick said that my research was objectionable
because it contradicted “work done by me [Lustick] and my colleagues at the
Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict.” Or as Ian
Lustick’s colleague Brendan O’Leary (another Asch Center director) once told
me in a very public fit of rage: the problem is not with my documentation --
which he publicly declared “impeccable” -- but with my “interpretation.”
Somehow, I always came to the ‘wrong’ conclusion, in their view. Lustick closes his letter to the psychology
department chairman with these words:
Francisco Gil-White’s articles investigating the PLO
and other terrorist groups have, says Lustick, “raised questions in my mind.”
But this cannot mean that Ian Lustick really has problems with my “respect
for the rules of evidence” given that he makes no comment on the quality of
my evidence. Lustick is upset that I contradicted him. To have a future at Penn, what will be required of
one who has thus trespassed upon Ian Lustick?
Which questions were those? The questions “in my
mind” -- in Lustick’s mind. In other words, my future at Penn, Lustick
declared, would require me to satisfy the psychology senior faculty that I
would no longer upset Ian Lustick’s mind by contradicting him; else, I should
be denied reappointment. And so, after explaining to Rob Derubeis, the
psychology chairman, that I would continue doing my public service journalism
as before, as is my right under the US Constitution and under the UPenn
Faculty Handbook, I was denied reappointment to my second three-year
contract. Because Lustick sells himself as a scholar of the
Arab-Israeli conflict, it was my writings on this topic, especially, that had
caused him “considerable distress.” How did I “distress” him? I wrote a
piece, and published it in Israel, documenting that Al Fatah, the controlling
core of the PLO, had been created after World War II by Hajj Amin al
Husseini’s Arab Higher Committee. The same piece documents that Hajj Amin al
Husseini led several massive anti-Jewish terrorist attacks in British Mandate
Palestine before the World War, in collusion with the British authorities,
and in the last instance with weapons supplied by Adolf Hitler. And my piece
documented as well that during the World War, Hajj Amin al Husseini traveled
to Berlin, met with Hitler, and subsequently became top co-architect, with
Adolf Eichmann, of the German Nazi Final Solution: the project to murder
every Jew in Europe. My article ended by asking: Since this is also the man
behind the PLO, doesn’t this mean that the PLO is an extension of the German
Nazi Final Solution? This is, after all, what the PLO’s own constitution,
which calls for the extermination of the Jews, would seem to be screaming.[2] Now why did this documentation -- not one detail of
which Ian Lustick has yet chosen to dispute -- make him so mad? Because Ian
Lustick’s entire career has been an effort to cover for the terrorist enemies
of the Jewish state.[3] But
does it make sense that Ian Lustick would cover for an antisemitic,
genocidal, terrorist organization? It does if Ian Lustick is involved with US
Intelligence, because, as I have shown, US Intelligence has been, for a long
time, assisting the terrorist enemies of Israel, and this includes the
training of PLO troops.[4]
Ian Lustick explains himself in his curriculum vitae that he began his
professional career as an employee of US Intelligence, and that he has
remained in close association ever since, providing multiple consultations to
the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
and such.[5] Ian Lustick’s relationship to US Intelligence may
explain why, from his perch as a professor in the political science
department, he could nevertheless tell the psychology department chairman to
fire me and have it done. Perhaps Ian Lustick is not without some power. This
might account, also, for the thinly veiled threats I kept getting in person
and by email from other Asch Center directors and from my own mentor in the
psychology department, Paul Rozin (also an Asch Center director). The message
was consistent: if I didn’t turn my investigating eye elsewhere, my job could
be in jeopardy. I had been to my psychology department chairman, Robert
DeRubies, to explain that I was being threatened, and I told him that it was
an Asch Center thing, with Ian Lustick probably pulling the strings, since it
was his academic reputation that my work threatened. DeRubeis promised
devoutly to keep my reappointment process free of extra-scientific political
issues, and yet went ahead and, for my reappointment process, got a letter of
evaluation from...Ian Lustick. I should also point out that there were only
two such letters requested, and the other went to another Asch Center
director. (This second letter, however, had nothing but words of praise.)
___________________________________________________________ 2) Q. In Norway, and probably in most of the rest of
the world, the perception of US foreign policy as being staunchly pro-Israel
is absolutely unchallenged. How is it possible that this perception has
become so widespread, if in fact the opposite is true? A. The reason a mistaken perception
of US policy toward Israel (and US policy more generally) has taken hold
universally is that the mainstream Western media, every day, repeats a
million times the opposite of the truth. “US foreign policy is pro-Israel, US
foreign policy is pro-Israel...” This kind of repetition, from sources that
news consumers assume to be free of governmental interference, has a decisive
effect on public perceptions. But the same US Intelligence that, as I have
argued, determines US foreign policy toward Israel has control over the media
establishment, so it can simultaneously seek the destruction of the Jewish
state and represent this everywhere as the precise opposite.[6] For people to change their public perceptions, they
would first have to suspect that they are being lied to by the New York
Times. But this is difficult, because readers of the New York Times
pride themselves on being especially intelligent for choosing to read the New
York Times. And it is difficult because for 2000 years Westerners have
been trained to accept the most spectacular lies so long as these lies attack
the Jews, as I have summarized in an HIR piece.[7] In the Middle Ages Europeans were told that, at
Passover, the Jews would steal Christian children in order to torture them to
death and perhaps also eat them. The point of these supposed rites, it was
explained, was to celebrate the ancient murder of Jesus, for which the Jews
of every generation joyously accepted responsibility. These ridiculous
accusations were believed because Christians heard them from sources they
were brought up to trust: their religious authorities, who repeated every
Sunday the gospel accusation that ‘the Jews’ had supposedly murdered God. As
you might expect, accusations of this nature contributed to create an atmosphere
in which Christians grew up in literal terror of Jews, and in consequence
there were mass killings of Jews throughout the Middle Ages. In the 14th
century, for example, when the Black Plague hit Europe, killing about a
fourth or more of its population, the Europeans were easily led to believe
that the Jews, acting as an international conspiracy, had simultaneously
poisoned all the wells in the continent. Never mind that in Norway, where
half of the population died of the Plague, there were no Jews because they
were forbidden by law: nobody paid any attention to the disconfirming
evidence because trusted sources of authority had already declared the
supposed truth, which in any case fit perfectly with the supposedly satanic
nature of Judaism. The Jews were exterminated in Germany and the low
countries in the mass hysteria that resulted from the Plague, when
Christians, acting like cannibals, slaughtered their fellow human beings
thinking that they were acting...in ‘self defense.’ Before World War II a fraudulent document by the
name Protocols of the Elders of Zion, created by the Russian secret
police (the Okhrana) as an attempt to defeat the growth of opposition to the
Zar’s repressive and unequal regime, accused the Jews of being an
international conspiracy that in secret controlled all the workers movements,
all the big capitalist concerns, all the media, all the banks, and all of the
Western governments, including the government of the United States. (In other
words, everything.) With this near-total clandestine international power, the
Jews were planning to destroy…‘Christian Civilization.’ These accusations
were instrumental in producing mass killings of Jews in the Russian pogroms
of the early twentieth century, but they didn’t distract the angry workers
sufficiently and the Russian Revolution happened anyway (later betrayed by
people such as Stalin who re-enslaved the workers and revived antisemitism).
These identical accusations later became the backbone of Nazi propaganda,
much of it published by Henry Ford, who produced many thousands of copies of The
Protocols and shipped them to Germany so that Adolf Hitler, who
considered Henry Ford his inspiration and kept a life-size portrait of him in
his office, could distribute them in Europe.[8] Once again, Westerners believed the lies and, once
again, they ignored the disconfirming evidence: in 1921 Phillip Graves of the
Times (London) demonstrated that The Protocols was a fraud -- a
cut and paste job mostly from Maurice Joly’s Dialogues in Hell Between
Machiavelli and Montesquieu, which is a work of fiction having nothing
whatever to do with Jews.[9]
But it didn’t matter. And once the mass killings began there was more
evidence against the accusations: the Jews obviously controlled nothing
because no country would receive them as refugees, including Britain and the
United States, and to a close approximation everybody was cooperating with
the murderers, or else keeping silent. Killing these supposedly
ultra-powerful Jews turned out to be spectacularly easy. But it didn’t
matter: nobody drew the obvious lesson. Once again, Westerners exterminated
the Jews in a hysteria of ‘self-defense.’ It is happening again. These days everybody believes
that the old bogeyman of Western imagination, ‘the Jews,’ controls the policy
of the greatest power on earth and in history: the United States government.
The polite way to say this is that “US foreign policy is staunchly
pro-Israel.” This is once again an attack on the Jews because the
overwhelming majority of people on this planet have a very negative
perception of US foreign policy; many feel directly attacked by it and most
of the rest think it is a tremendous threat to world peace. If the Jews are
behind all this, well, they must be once again trying to destroy us
all. What will we do in self defense? We will kill the Jews again. Why not?
After all, we have once again fallen prey to the same lies that made us kill
Jews before, and thus to predict a different outcome would hardly be
scientific. In any case, the mass killing of Jews is easily the most stable,
recurrent process in Western history: it has happened in the ancient world of
the Greek and Roman empires, in the feudal world of the Middle Ages, and in
the modern world. So the mass killing of Jews survives all kinds of political
and cultural transformations in the West, and in consequence there is one
almost every century. One hardly needs a rocket scientist here: the Jews will
be killed again. This coming genocide will happen very soon, now, for
it is quite evident that the good people of this world are asleep or else
stopping their ears, like they did in the prelude to World War II. I must
include here almost the entire Jewish population, which is stopping its ears
in order not to face the dreadful reality, like they also stopped their ears
before World War II. This means that, like a looped rerun that will
necessarily always produce the same tragic story, ordinary Jews will once
again passively cooperate with their executioners (the cooperation of many
Jewish leaders, by contrast, is active, not passive [10]). Those actually dripping their hands in Jewish blood
will be the terrorist soldiers of the Muslim world, but behind these forces,
as I have explained, is the power of the US government. This should have
become obvious, for example, from the famous 1980s Iran-Contra scandal, when
the US government was found to be illegally and secretly sending billions of
dollars in armaments, each year, to the antisemitic and terrorist regime of
Iran, while telling the US citizens whose money it had stolen in order to arm
these terrorists that it supposedly opposed Iran. This is the same Iran whose
president now says in public that he means to exterminate the Jews, and which
now has a land corridor connecting it with the northern border of Israel
thanks to the US invasion of Iraq, because the US invasion has given Iraq to
Iran, and Iran already controls Syria and Lebanon (and Hezbollah).[11]
As before, the cause of this coming genocide will be
lies, tremendous lies. Just as the Jews did not steal Christian children to
crucify and eat them, and just as they didn’t poison the wells of Europe, and
just as they didn’t murder God, the most oppressed people in history, naturally,
also does not control history’s greatest political and military power. (Such
a hypothesis would contradict the entire experience of Western history, in
which Jews have always been oppressed and routinely slaughtered, as they
indeed still are). But in any case the hypothesis that ‘the Jews’ control US
foreign policy is roundly refuted by the evidence: it was because of US
pressure -- specifically from Bush Sr.’s administration, in 1991 -- that the
Jewish state ended up accepting the PLO inside its borders.[12] It was because of US
pressure that the PLO -- a tentacle of the Nazi Final Solution reaching
into the future to finish the job with a final snap[11a] -- became the government over
most of the Arabs that live in the Jewish state. (In the past twelve years,
this population has been trained for an ecstatic slaughter that will produce
an overflow of virgins in heaven.) And the US forced the PLO on Israel, mind
you, despite the fact that, at the time, the PLO was already a defeated
organization, languishing in Tunisian exile. This is just one example in the long list of US
attacks against Israel (though it’s a dramatic one). For the full list:
___________________________________________________________ 3) Q. The US practically always votes against
UN-resolutions condemning Israel and financial support from the US to Israel
amounts to something like $3 billion a year. Doesn’t this prove that US
foreign policy favors Israel? A. The answer is no. I will explain why
by first putting the structure of Israel’s geopolitical situation in personal
terms, so that we can reason about it without the cloud of propaganda that
would otherwise surround it. Imagine the following scenario. This guy Sam is the
local gangster and he is terribly powerful. He hurts a lot of people. But you
are not worried because he always says very loudly that you are his best
friend, and he puts his arm warmly around you and slaps you on the back a
lot. “You can count on me for anything,” he tells you, and the display of
emotion is histrionic. You and Sam both know that this other guy, Hamid,
wants to kill you. So Sam gives you a gun -- a revolver. “For protection,” he
explains, and he winks fondly at you. But later, Sam goes over to Hamid and
gives him a bazooka. Is Sam your friend? On the contrary. The fact that
Sam gave you a gun and promised friendship has you off your guard, which
makes things easier for Hamid, who now aims his bazooka at your house, ready
to blow up your entire family. You’ll be caught napping, confident that all
is well because big gangster Sam is supposedly your friend. In this context,
naturally, Sam giving you a gun does not prove that he favors you; what it
proves is that he really wants you dead, because he is trying to make you
feel safe when you aren’t. Now, it is true that the US -- Uncle Sam --
sends around 3 billion a year to the state of Israel. However, other things
are also true, and they will round our understanding of the context. First, Egypt gets almost 2 billion dollars a year
from the United States, and more than half of that is officially so that
Egypt can buy US weapons. Unofficially, however, Egypt probably spends it all
on weapons. At least this is what I gather from the fact that when
Representative Tom Lantos tried to introduce a bill in the US Congress
forcing Egypt to spend some of its US money on the impoverished Egyptians,
the entire Bush administration mobilized quickly to defeat it.[13] Obviously, the US government
wants Egypt armed to the teeth. What for? Look at the map: Egypt is
threatened by nobody. And as Rep. Tom Lantos explained, Egypt does not assist
the US in its military adventures. Given that there is only one country that
Egypt means to harm, Israel, the universe of possible hypotheses to
explain the US arming of Egypt is narrowing. Among the valid hypotheses, I
would argue, including the hypothesis that says “because the US favors
Israel” is absurd. Oh yes, they will tell you that these weapons are Egypt’s
reward for signing a ‘peace’ treaty with Israel, but why couldn’t the reward
be economic aid? The Bush administration, in the Lantos episode, already
demonstrated it hates the idea of giving aid to ordinary Egyptians. And, in
any case, a peace treaty is a piece of paper. What matters, naturally, is
what the Egyptian government does, not what it says. Egyptian government
media constantly spew antisemitism and anti-Israeli invective, and weapons
that kill Israelis are constantly smuggled to the ‘Palestinian’ antisemitic
terrorists under the Egyptian border. This country that the US arms to the
teeth is not at peace with Israel. Alas! We have considered just one enemy of Israel
and already the US ‘aid’ to Israel would appear to have been wiped out. Let us consider a second enemy: Saudi Arabia. It
turns out that, starting with Jimmy Carter, the US began a secret program to
arm this state that makes Saudi Arabia “ultimately...the largest beneficiary
of U.S. weapons sales in the entire world [and] one of the most heavily armed
countries in the world.”[14] In
other words, Israel is not the country getting the most weapons from the US
-- that title goes to Israel’s mortal enemy Saudi Arabia. Shall we consider a third enemy? Iran. HIR has been
careful to document the pattern of US foreign policy towards Iran since the
early 1980s, when the US began arming Iran in secret during the Iran-Iraq
war. When the US government got caught red-handed this was called the
Iran-Contra scandal (because the US was also arming the Contra terrorists in
Central America).[15] We
have shown that US policy has been consistently pro-Iranian, despite the fact
that in public the US loudly claims enmity (as it did during the Iran-Iraq
war).[16] US policy
continues to be pro-Iranian. Everybody now agrees that the stated reasons for
attacking Iraq were probably not the real ones, and everybody also agrees
that Iraq is now, for practical purposes, controlled by Iran.[17] So perhaps giving Iraq to Iran
was the real reason for the invasion. That would certainly make sense
if the greatest power in history probably usually gets what it wants, which I
think is the most reasonable starting hypothesis, and it would also be
consistent with the entire history of US foreign policy in the region, which
has always been to favor Iran (despite public claims to the contrary).
Ignore, then, all the noise about how badly the US ‘blundered’ in Iraq: it’s
propaganda, like so much that is endlessly repeated in the media, such as the
claim that the US favors Israel. Which reminds me: since Iran already
controlled both Syria and Lebanon, it now has, thanks to the US invasion of
Iraq, a land corridor going all the way to the northern border of Israel.
So this country, whose president says out loud that
the Israeli Jews should be exterminated, will soon be in a position to
attempt this crime -- thanks to US policy. It won't need nuclear weapons: it
can now easily launch a conventional attack. How about a fourth enemy? The PLO. As mentioned
earlier, the PLO has gotten a lot of help from the US government. Not only
did the US government obtain the diplomatic result of an invitation into
Israel from the Jewish state (by threatening this Jewish state), but US
Intelligence has also trained the PLO terrorists, to give just two dramatic
examples.[18] This could go on for a while so I will consider just
one more enemy of Israel: Hezbollah. As HIR has shown, the US government has
been very nice to Hezbollah, intervening to sabotage Israeli defense every
time the Israeli government decides to do something about the Hezbollah
murders of innocent people. This is true of the recent war, and has been true
also in the past.[19] I think the point is clear, even if Israel gets some
aid from the United States, what matters is this: What is the net
effect of US foreign policy on the probabilities of survival of the Jewish
state? The answer, obviously, is that US foreign policy greatly increases the
probability of an anti-Jewish genocide in Israel. What about the votes in the UN? Well, even assuming
every single US vote in the United Nations had gone Israel’s way, it would
not outweigh the above, so one could argue that this is another way of duping
the Israelis into thinking that the US government is a friend. And one could
argue that this is part of the strategy to paint the US as controlled by
Israel, which then gets everybody to hate Israel without really helping the
Jewish state, because the US votes in favor of Israel at the UN don’t help
Israel that much in the material plane when all is said and done. But when you examine carefully the US’s behavior at
the United Nations, it does not look pro-Israel at all. Although the US sometimes votes in favor of Israel,
sometimes it does not. And sometimes it reverses its votes in favor, as
happened in the case of Israel’s destruction of an Iraqi nuclear facility.
This case is full of lessons. First, Israel destroyed the Iraqi reactor on the
grounds that, since Iraq was a practically neighboring state that promised in
public to destroy Israel, the Jewish state could not allow Iraq to develop
nuclear weapons (not too different from the reasons the US advanced for
attacking Iraq, though in this case it cannot be argued that Iraq threatened
the US, even under the assumption that Iraq did have lots of
Weapons of Mass Destruction). At the UN, the United States at first supported
the Israeli attack.[20]
Immediately after this, however, the US voted at the UN to declare the
Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights null and void.[21] (And this, despite the fact
that a US government study had determined that the Golan Heights were
indispensable to prevent the destruction of the Jewish state.[22]) And just a little later, the
US reversed its earlier vote on the Iraqi reactor and condemned the Israeli
attack. The outgoing Secretary General of the UN, Kurt
Waldheim, who we all know these days was one of the biggest Nazi war
criminals[22a],
praised the US for both votes against Israel.[23] It
was the US that had lobbied for Waldheim to get the top job at the UN,
with George Bush Sr. telling the public that Mr. Waldheim was “ideally
equipped” to be Secretary General of the UN (US Intelligence, naturally,
always knew who Waldheim was, and soon George Bush Sr. would become the head
of US Intelligence).[24]
The US government pushed to have Waldheim reelected and they even pressed for
a third term (this was blocked by China, so he served two terms).[25] While in office, this Nazi
Kurt Waldheim did lots of anti-Israel diplomacy, including extending an
invitation to the antisemitic terrorist Yasser Arafat (whose organization, Al
Fatah, was created by the top Nazi war criminal Hajj Amin al Husseini [25a]) to give a speech to the UN
General Assembly in 1974.[26] This
greatly raised the prestige of the PLO. A year later Waldheim presided over
the UN vote that equated Zionism -- the effort to create and preserve a state
where the Jews can live free of the threat of extermination -- as racism.
Yes, the US voted against that resolution, but remember: the UN Secretary
General presiding over this vote, the Nazi war criminal Kurt Waldheim, was
the US’s candidate, and the US vote against did not exactly help Israel
when weighed against the fact that the vote was held in the first place. The Nazi Kurt Waldheim also gave the PLO permanent
observer status at the UN![26a] So is the US’s behavior at the UN clearly pro-Israel? Hardly. A case can easily be made for the precise opposite. But, once again, the loud repetition of the US’s pro-Israeli UN votes convinces everybody that the US government has a pro-Israeli policy. Repetition is key.
___________________________________________________________ 4) Q. Even though the US might have pressured Israel
into accepting a PLO-state in the West Bank and Gaza, the situation seems to
have changed considerably since Hamas became the most powerful political
movement among the Palestinians. The US seems to work against the Hamas
government and are urging other governments to follow its lead in boycotting
Hamas. Is this a deceit? What is the real US policy on Hamas? A. Before the elections that brought
Hamas to power, the Financial Times reported that
The US exerted pressure so that Hamas would be
allowed to participate in the elections. Do I think that the current
anti-Hamas noises from the US are a deceit? Yes, I do. For a long time the US
government and the world media have sold us the PLO/Hamas ‘good cop/bad cop’
routine. The PLO, which is essentially Al Fatah, an organization created by a
leader of Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution[25a], and responsible for the lion’s share
of terrorism (in other words, more than Hamas) is supposed to be the good
cop! The US ruling elite is just doing what it has done all this time,
representing Hamas as the ‘extremists’ so that we will accept the PLO as the
‘moderates.’ But this is theater. Both organizations are terrorist and both
seek to exterminate the Jewish people.
___________________________________________________________ 5) Q. One frequently sees reports about the American
‘Jewish Lobby’ and how they manage to get their way with US foreign policy
makers. Are these reports part of an attempt to make use of the traditional
antisemitic myths about the hidden powers of a Jewish conspiracy? Are American
Jews not really that powerful? Or is it that the most powerful American Jews
share the agenda of the foreign policy elites? A. The claim that the ‘Jewish
Lobby’ controls US foreign policy and makes this policy pro-Israel cannot be
true given that US policy is not pro-Israel.[27a] Therefore, the repeated
accusations that the so-called Jewish Lobby controls US foreign policy (which
recently have reached a fever pitch [27b]) are
just more of the same: it's the old accusation that ‘the Jews’ in secret
control everything to hurt us, which has been the engine of antisemitic
slaughters throughout Western history.[27c] But the lies are bigger than you might think,
because, as HIR has shown, the organizations that together comprise the
so-called Jewish Lobby do not, in fact, even lobby for pro-Israel policies,
let alone achieve them. They have lobbied in favor of the PLO.[28] Concerning many prominent people who identify
themselves as ‘Jews’ and who help direct US foreign policy, since this
foreign policy is anti-Israel, they would indeed appear “to share the agenda
of the foreign policy elites,” and their behavior is perfectly consistent
with the prominent people who also identify themselves as ‘Jews’ and who
direct the organizations of the ‘Jewish Lobby.’ HIR has a piece analyzing the
behaviors of prominent ‘Jews’ in the US government, and we show that one
cannot distinguish their behavior from that of antisemites.[29] I should point out that this is a pattern that we
saw already in WWII, when prominent leaders of the American Jewish community,
and people claiming a Jewish identity in high positions of the US government,
by and large sabotaged the efforts to rescue the European Jews even though
everybody knew already that this population was being exterminated.[30] And the pattern is repeated in Israel, because the Israeli ruling elite, astonishingly but unambiguously, attacks the Jewish state that they are supposed to be leading.[30a]
___________________________________________________________ 6) Q. The Norwegian historian Hilde Henriksen Waage
recently wrote a report on the Norwegian role in the ‘Oslo peace process,’
claiming that the Norwegians were heavily biased against the Palestinians and
the PLO and in favor of Israel. Do you agree? What was the real Norwegian
role in the ‘peace process’? A. When the secret Oslo
negotiations began, the PLO was (as it still is) a terrorist organization.
The PLO was (as it still is) an antisemitic organization. Its constitution
called (as it still does) for the extermination of the Jewish people. Most
importantly, however, at the time the PLO was a defeated organization, in
exile, in Tunis. Norwegian diplomats created a process to give
territory inside the Jewish state to a defeated antisemitic terrorist
organization, thus reviving it, in exchange for a total absurdity: the PLO,
which from far away was having great difficulty killing innocent Israelis,
would promise that once revived and brought close to its Jewish targets, and
moreover given an entire Arab population to indoctrinate, it would stop
killing Jews! Is this production supposed to demonstrate that the Norwegian
diplomats, who put it on, had a bias in favor of Israel? If Norwegian negotiators created a process to give
Texas to Al Qaeda in return for a promise not to murder any more innocent
Americans, I think it would make little sense to accuse the Norwegian
negotiators of having a bias in favor of Americans. But the Norwegian diplomats are consistent. They
have been hard at work creating a ‘peace’ process that will reward the ETA,
the Basque terrorist movement, and they have already done much diplomacy to
assist the terrorist Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. The role of Norwegian diplomats, as we have argued,
is to appear to the world as representing a ‘neutral’ country. But Norway is
not neutral: it is a NATO member, and the big fish in NATO is the United
States. The appearance, however, is effective, and through Norway’s
‘peace-keeping’ diplomacy the NATO foreign policy elite (i.e. primarily the
US ruling elite) achieves many of its ends. At HIR we have documented how
Norwegian diplomats assisted the deployment of the terrorist KLA by the US
and its NATO allies in order to destroy Yugoslavia.[31]
___________________________________________________________ 7) Q. In Norway most researchers and professors who
work with the Middle East tend to criticize Israel heavily, and I have the
impression that the same thing is true about most of the ‘Western world.’ Why
do you think this is? A. For more than 2000 years, the
intellectual classes in the West have attacked the Jews with ferocity. If the
intellectual classes are attacking the Jews now, one attractive hypothesis is
that this is just more of the same old antisemitism. The facts of the Middle East, after all, are not
difficult to document. I myself did not start out as a student of the
Arab-Israeli conflict, but when I started looking into it I quickly
documented that many widely believed accusations against the Israelis were
not true. I did not have a pro-Israeli bias but the opposite: I started out
as a defender of the PLO, because I was listening to the “researchers and
professors” you mention. But I found the allegations against the Israelis to
be untrue, and I found also that those making these false allegations knew
them to be false. Upon becoming a student of the Arab-Israeli conflict I
found:
among other things. My experience at Penn, which led to my firing, also
demonstrated that the so-called ‘experts’ on the Middle East understood all
this, because nobody pointed out any errors in my work and in fact they
declared my documentation “impeccable.” They just wanted me to stop. This is consistent with the obvious hypothesis: that
if antisemitism has been the main reason for intellectuals to attack the Jews
in over 2000 years, it is still the reason they are attacking them today. In
the cases of those intellectuals who pose as ‘experts’ in the Middle East, we
are talking about simple dishonesty, because the facts are not difficult to
establish, and yet they deny them. In the case of intellectuals in other
areas, who likewise feel no compunction about attacking the Jews (many will
be careful to say that they merely oppose the policies of the Israeli state,
but this is a cover), it is a combination of antisemitism and ignorance. I think it is important to distinguish between cultural and ideological antisemitism. Cultural antisemitism affects almost all of us (including perhaps a majority of Jews), because the Western ruling classes have produced antisemitic propaganda for over 2000 years, so it is difficult not to inherit antisemitic prejudices growing up, which then make us susceptible to believe slanders against the Jews. But the ideological antisemite is someone for whom it is really very important, as a personal matter, to attack the Jews. Although ideological antisemitism is quite intractable, cultural antisemitism can be fought with the truth. When I found out that the accusations against the Jews were lies, and that the defense of the PLO was equally based on lies, I changed my mind and stopped supporting the PLO. Why? Because I was not an ideological antisemite. Others would change their minds too if they had access to the truth. But the world media is a difficult thing to fight.[36a]
___________________________________________________________ 8) Q. What is your analysis of this summer’s war
between Israel and Hezbollah and the current Hezbollah attempt to overthrow
the Lebanese government? A. I have produced a series of
articles analyzing this war. [37] I think the war was launched
prematurely by Hezbollah, and the initial Arab reaction to this attack is
consistent with that view. Ideally, for the forces that wish to destroy the
Jewish state, an all out attack will begin when the Golan Heights are in
Syria’s possession, and the West Bank, like the Gaza strip, is firmly in the
hands of the ‘Palestinian’ terrorists (if Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime
minister, gets his way, this will all happen very soon). This way the
Israelis can be attacked from all sides at once -- by Egypt and the PLO/Hamas
in the south, by Saudi Arabia, Jordan and PLO/Hamas in the West, and by the
Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Hezbollah in the North. Also, the terrorists
will be attacking from strategic ground that they, rather than Israel, will
control. The Israelis will be defending with their backs against the sea, in
the tiniest bit of lowland, while their enemies shoot from the hills. After
flushing into the state of Israel many of the Jews who survived the European
extermination of WWII, and after the war of 1947-48 a great many of the Jews
who lived in the Arab world, the Jewish state, always a ghetto, is being
forced to give up more and more territory, and is finally being tranformed
from the concentration camp it has now become into a death camp. It is the
Nazi policy on a different scale. In 1974 Yasser Arafat promulgated his ‘Plan of
Phases,’ which called for promising ‘peace’ to Israel in return for an
invitation into the Jewish state, from which position the PLO would then
launch its war of extermination. [38] Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), the
current leader of the PLO, explained in 1979 that the way to destroy Israel
would be to fragment Israeli society. If the Israelis could be made to fight
each other, they could be destroyed. How to achieve this? According to Abbas,
“it was necessary to bring the Israelis down from their tanks to the ground
and cause them a sense of security and peace, to allow their social maladies
[i.e. their internal divisions] to appear and to prevent their unification in
the face of a[n external] danger.” [39] The Oslo process achieved all
this. The Israelis are losing territory, they are terribly divided, and it
appears they have lost their will to fight. All that remains is for the
Israeli government to give Syria the Golan Heights and to cleanse the Jews
from Judea and Samaria (West Bank) as it did in the Gaza Strip. But we are
not quite there yet: Hezbollah (and Hamas) jumped the gun -- it was not yet
time, and the initial Arab reaction makes this perfectly clear.[40] In the war against Hezbollah, under US pressure, as
it has done repeatedly in the past, the Israeli government brought Israeli
defense to a full stop. It then allowed international troops to come and
protect Hezbollah’s rearmament. And these international troops are quite
serious about protecting the Hezbollah terrorists. This was reported on 18
November:
In sum, I believe this summer’s war, though it may
have delayed a bit the Final Solution that is coming, for having been a
premature attack, will not change the eventual outcome, and in many ways has
been a disaster for the Israelis. The fact that the Israelis did not force
the government to resign after its dismal performance is quite worrisome.
___________________________________________________________ 9) Q. Why would the US want Iranian dominance in the
Middle East? And what proof do you have to support the claim that this is
actually a goal for US policymakers? A. Let’s start with the evidence, and
then move to the motivations. HIR has a piece that summarizes the entire history
of US foreign policy toward Iran in order to put the 1991 Gulf War against
Iraq in its proper geopolitical context, and I will briefly repeat that
summary here below.[42] Before 1979 the US had a policy to support the
repressive, unequal, and totalitarian regime of the Shah Reza Pahlavi. Most
people believe that ever since 1979, when the Islamist regime replaced the
Shah, the US government has been an enemy of the new Iranian government.
However, the facts suggest otherwise. Immediately after the Ayatollah Khomeini succeeded
in his coup d’état against the Iranian Revolution (which had not been
primarily Islamist), he provoked a war against Iraq. The Iranian military had
been depleted in the revolutionary struggles and it was almost entirely
US-made, so Khomeini could not afford to provoke a war with Iraq unless he
knew he was going to be supplied by the US. And he was. Though Khomeini and
the Reagan administration exchanged dramatic insults in public, throughout
the Iran-Iraq war the Reagan administration secretly supplied the Iranians
with billions of dollars in US weapons and spare parts every year. When
caught -- this was called 'the Iran-Contra scandal' because the US was
simultaneously arming the Contra terrorists in Central America) -- the Reagan
administration explained that it had been trying to get on Iran’s good side
in order to beg for Iranian influence on the Hezbollah terrorists who had
taken some US citizens hostage in Lebanon. But this absurd explanation could
not be true even in principle because the arms shipments began in 1981, as a
Congressional investigation subsequently showed, and the first hostage in
Lebanon was taken in 1982. When the war ended badly for the Iranians in the
1988 ceasefire, Zalmay Khalilzad, a big power, fretted out loud that year,
and then again in 1989, that it was very bad for Iran to be weak relative to
Iraq, and called for “strengthening Iran and containing Iraq.” The next year,
in 1990, Khalilzad became assistant under secretary of defense for policy
planning, and the year after that, 1991, we had the Gulf War. This war
destroyed Iraq and thereafter the United States followed a policy of
containing Iraq, which in turn strengthened Iraq’s rival Iran, precisely as
Khalilzad had recommended. During the 1990s the US Pentagon teamed up with the
Iranian government to import tens of thousands of mujahedin ‘holy warriors’
into Bosnia, so they would help out Alija Izetbegovic’s other Muslim terrorists
in the slaughter of innocent Serbs. Recently, Iran helped out in the initial stages of
the invasion of Iraq. The greatest beneficiary of the US invasion of Iraq
(which everybody now agrees was probably not launched for the stated reasons)
is...Iran. As the Guardian said, explaining the obvious:
Foolish? That is one hypothesis. Another is that
this is what the US ruling elite wants. This latter hypothesis would be
consistent with everything I summarize above, and with the reasonable
assumption that the greatest power in history probably usually gets what it
wants. It is consistent also with the fact that the US has not really tried
to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, despite the noise about it, and
will obviously not attack Iran (something HIR predicted back in February 2006
when everybody was saying an attack against Iran was imminent[44]). It is also consistent with
how the Congressional Iraq Study Group has now made an official
recommendation that the US ask the Iranians to stabilize Iraq![45] Although the Bush
administration has made a show of reacting negatively to this recommendation,
I believe this is theater: the public fact of the recommendation is
making the idea imaginable, preparing the ground for when it will seem
inevitable. As pointed out earlier, Iran already controls Syria,
Lebanon, and Hezbollah, so control of Iraq gives it a land corridor all the
way to the northern border of Israel:
The true policy aims of a government, in my view,
have to be inferred from that government’s behaviors, not its public
statements, because we all know that government officials will say the
opposite of what they are doing if it suits their purposes (it’s called
‘diplomacy’ and also ‘propaganda’). During the Iran-Iraq war, the entire
Reagan administration said they preferred an Iraqi victory and that they were
bitter enemies of Iran, all the while stealing the US taxpayer’s money to arm
to the teeth an Iranian regime that slaughtered its own children in ‘human
wave’ attacks that launched thousands of youngsters against Iraqi tanks, and
that wishes to exterminate the Jews. Actions speak louder than words.
So it is best, when producing a political analysis, to leave aside what
government officials say they are doing (unless one is making an analysis of
propaganda). US officials say they support Israel, but recent US policy has
made it much easier for Iran to attack Israel. Now, why does the US ruling elite want Iranian
dominance in the Middle East? In my view, because the US ruling elite that
determines US foreign policy is not like ordinary Americans -- it has a quite
different ideology. This is of course why the US government has to lie to
its citizens about what it does: they would not approve. What is the ideology of the US ruling elite? I think
this was made dramatically clear by historian Christopher Simpson’s
investigation, published in 1988.[46]
Simpson showed, with a trickle of partially declassified documents belatedly
obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (and which reveal but the tip
of the iceberg), that almost the entire Nazi war criminal infrastructure had
been absorbed by the US government, in secret, after the Second World War,
creating US Intelligence with this personnel. When Simpson’s book was
released, the Washington Post wrote:
Actually, it was tens of thousands of Nazis,
and these Nazis became US Intelligence (the CIA and the rest of the
intelligence alphabet soup). The Toronto Star added:
This is indeed documented in Simpson's book. The Washington Post and the New York Times
tried to apologize for all this, rather than denouncing it as a truly free
press should have done. Soon after this, all mention of Simpson’s book in the
media died completely, and the book has been taken out of circulation. Now, since it is US Intelligence that determines US
foreign policy, and since it is a nest of Nazis, should we be surprised that
US policy has been making it easier and easier for Iran, which denies the
Holocaust while loudly calling for another one, to attack the Jewish state? But perhaps we should be surprised that the US
ruling elite absorbed all those Nazis after the war? Not according to the
recent investigations of historian Edwin Black, who in War against the
weak: Eugenics and America's campaign to create a master race, published
in 2003, showed that the dominant ideology in the US ruling class, in the
first half of the 20th century, was eugenics.[48]
The eugenics movement preached the biological superiority of Germanic stock,
and the natural right of ‘Germans’ to rule everybody else. This ideology was
popular in the Western ruling classes because they could claim to be of
Germanic stock (‘Arians’), as it was German tribes that conquered all of
Europe when the political structure of the Roman Empire collapsed, with the
result that these Germans became the aristocracies all over Western
Europe (Visigoths in Spain, Ostrogoths in Lombardy, Franks in France, the Low
Countries, and Germany, Anglo-Saxons and then also Normans in Britain, and
hence also in the United States, and the Scandinavian tribes in the north --
all Germanic). The same eugenics ideology preached the extermination of the
‘mentally retarded,’ who would be identified employing the ‘IQ’ tests that
these same eugenicists invented (with a series of frauds and cultural biases
meant to ensure that the ‘Arians’ -- which is to say, the upper classes --
would come out ‘smartest’). Hundreds of thousands of humble and innocent US
citizens were forcibly sterilized or incarcerated in the first half of the
20th century, by the US government, because the eugenicists were largely in
control of it. The eugenics movement was bankrolled by the great fortunes of
the American robber barons, people such as Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller, who launched the eugenics movement to attack the working classes
who were trying to end what the journalists of the day called
"industrial feudalism" only to find themselves attacked,
militarily, by the hired guns of Carnegie, Rockefeller, et al. These robber
barons also spent their money taking over government institutions, and used
them to grow the eugenics movement all over the world, but spending
especially large fortunes growing it in Germany. They handed over the reins
of the movement to Adolf Hitler after they had educated him, and precisely at
the moment when the Nazi Party was roaring on its way to victory thanks to
disastrous economic conditions in Germany that the Western powers had been
careful to create. HIR has published a book that traces much of the
history of the eugenics movement down to the present day, paying special
attention to the IQ fraud and its consequences, which are still pervasive all
over US society, where they have been used in the second half of the 20th
century to attack blacks, especially.[49] To conclude, then, the absorption by the US ruling
elite of the most successful eugenics movement -- the Nazi war criminal
infrastructure -- after the World War is perfectly consistent with the
ideology of the US ruling class before the war, and, as HIR has shown,
with the behavior of the US ruling elite during the war, because the
US government cooperated with the Final Solution, denying refuge to the
desperate European Jews, refusing to bomb the death camps or the railroads
leading to the death camps, and refusing until the last minute -- and only
because ordinary Americans exerted heavy pressure -- to do anything about
rescuing any Jews.[50]
Thus, we should not be surprised if US foreign policy since the war,
determined as it is by government institutions that supported the attack
against the Jews and then absorbed the criminals directly responsible for
this, turns out to be anti-Jewish. In my experience, whoever learns this will raise the
question: But why is the US ruling elite against the Jews, in particular?
And you yourself have asked me: ___________________________________________________________ 10) Q. Why do US policymakers want to destroy
Israel? A. This is a question that people
don’t ask about the Nazis, because the Nazis were supposed to be crazy,
whereas the US ruling elite is supposed to be rational. I think they are all
rational. Hatred of Jews in the Western ruling classes is more than 2000
years old, because the ideology of the ancient Greco-Roman ruling classes,
who first persecuted the Jews, has continued to be quite common, for our
entire history, among the elite in power. This ideology opposes Jewish law
because Jewish law is the source of progressive ideas in the West, so those
who would oppress the Western working classes must get rid of the Jews and
their ideology of liberty and equality. When the Greco-Romans were enslaving pretty much the
entire Mediterranean, brutalizing the common people with cruelty that was not
seen again until the Nazi party took over Germany, the Jews were preaching
freedom, equality, and brotherly tolerance of one’s neighbors. Why? Because
that is what the Law of Moses, contained in the books Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy preaches. By law, a Jew can
only become a slave voluntarily, to pay a debt, and he can be a slave no more
than 6 years. On the seventh year, he must be set free and given a little
something for his service. While he is indentured, a Jewish ‘slave’ cannot be
mistreated in any way: any evidence of physical mistreatment will set him
automatically free. And he can’t even be yelled at, because if he doesn’t
like the way he is treated and takes refuge in somebody else’s house, that
person, by law, may not return him. If a master kills his slave he risks the
death penalty, and if he makes a slave by force he gets the death penalty for
sure. Naturally, the slave must rest, like his master, on the Sabbath (these
are just a few examples of the compassion and social justice that Jewish law
demands).[51] So these were
employees, not really slaves, and carefully protected by law. In the ancient Mediterranean, where Greco-Roman
fascism was making the lives of everybody miserable, subjecting even those
not officially recognized among the great multitudes of formal ‘slaves’ into
a kind of slavery, the Jews were treating even the formal ‘slaves’ like
protected employees, and defending a constitution that was a political
revolution. In consequence, great multitudes of pagans converted to Judaism.
The Jews became about 10% of the Roman Empire in the lower estimate of modern
historians, and there was an even bigger chunk of the pagans who did not
convert yet but were heavily influenced by the Jews and allied with them,
making the Jewish pressure movement something like a fourth or a third of the
Roman Empire. In reaction to this threat, the repressive Greco-Roman
aristocracy used its large mercenary forces to attack the Jews with ferocity
and produced a genocide of the Jewish people in the first and second
centuries that was not inferior, in relative terms, to what Adolf Hitler did
in the 20th. HIR has published a book that explains this history and also the
manner in which it has extended its tentacles all the way to the present.[52] We are about to see another great genocide of the Jewish people because that is what the Western ruling elites do in order to oppress us all. Which means this: if they succeed, and they kill millions of Jews again, we are next. This will repeat the pattern of World War II except that I fear this time we will not recover, because Islamist terrorism is growing fast and this ideology is hard to distinguish from that of the German Nazis, preaching as it does the extermination or slavery of infidels. The way to defend the West -- now as always -- is to band together in defense of the Jews, but Westerners seem unable to outgrow the millenarian propaganda that has polluted their minds, produced by the Western ruling classes that are sponsoring the growth of Islamist terrorism. The liberties and protections Western workers have won in the last two centuries will be permanently lost if this process is not quickly reversed. I hope I am wrong about all this, and especially in my prediction that there will be another anti-Jewish genocide, but HIR's predictions are not often wrong. Of course, making the prediction public is a way of hurting its chances of being correct, because it may cause people to react in time. This is my fervent goal.
