1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Good morning. How are you doing. It's been a while,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,880
I know, been busy as heck, and really because I

3
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:11,839
cover so much in my live stream, so much on

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,960
the episodes, and then so much on the OGC live

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,320
stream on Thursday nights Old Loric Club livestream on Thursday nights,

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,280
when it comes to what's been happening currently, I really

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,280
haven't had much to talk about. So I apologize, but

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,840
I'm back because I found a book. I didn't find it.

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,200
It's been recommended to me over the years, and I

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,280
finally got a chance to sit down with it, read

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,640
the first couple chapters, and I was like, oh, you know,

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,880
I haven't done anything on substack. So many people support

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,159
me on substack, and I really appreciate it, thank you

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,640
very much. So I thought, well, why not start something

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,240
and see where it goes. I've gotten used to having

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,079
doctor Johnson what me doing two hundred years together, so

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,159
he could comments on it and provide background into it.

18
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,920
But in my reading of this there was so it

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,480
was so well explained, and it's very short. The book

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,959
itself is almost two hundred pages, but the whole book

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,920
is almost two hundred pages. But the basically the long

22
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,040
essay that she came up with and split into chapters.

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,400
Miss Allison Weir, who wrote this book against our better judgment,

24
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:31,359
The subtitle is the Hidden History of how the US

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,840
was used to create Israel. I don't know. I don't

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,079
have an el on Alison Weir, and it really doesn't matter.

27
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:43,280
What matters is what's in the book. And I thought, yeah,

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,319
well why not read this. It's short, it's a subject

29
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,879
that a lot of people don't know a lot about.

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,640
I thought I knew a lot about it, and there's

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,040
stuff in here that I didn't know. And yeah, everything

32
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:00,359
I've read so far has been something that, you know,

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,359
you could use this to show people who don't understand

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,560
that this is not a holy alliance and that the

35
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:16,080
founding of Israel wasn't something that should be celebrated. It

36
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,199
wasn't a land without a people for a people without

37
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,039
a land. So yeah, this is what I decided to do.

38
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:25,520
And I don't know how long these are going to be,

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,759
Probably not long, but see yeah when my voice starts

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,000
getting tired. But yeah, I thought i'd start going through

41
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,360
this book, do a little bit of introductions today and

42
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,919
get through at least the first chapter, maybe the second,

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,840
So this book Dean Atchison, he is a US statesman

44
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:47,360
nineteen forty seven. Let's take a look. Do this in

45
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,919
real time, see what it says. He was an American

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,439
politician and lawyer, was the fifty first US Secretary of State.

47
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,520
He set the foreign policy of Harry S. Truman. So

48
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:09,759
he wasn't a a journalist, he wasn't a blogger of

49
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,360
the time. He didn't have a newsletter of the time.

50
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:15,759
He was actually a secretary of State, helped to set

51
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,360
foreign policy. So what he has to say in the

52
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
blurb at the top of the book is creating Israel

53
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,960
on land already inhabited by Palestinians would imperil not only

54
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,800
American but all Western interests in the Near East. He

55
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:35,560
said that in nineteen forty seven, before State of Israel

56
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:40,479
was que unquote founded. So just to scroll a little

57
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,120
bit here, sure at this in twenty fourteen. I'm sure

58
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:49,000
she started researching it earlier. There the she had some acknowledgments,

59
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,680
but she says a couple other things she says in

60
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:56,360
the in the intro was She's asked how she became

61
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,879
so intensely interested, and she said, like most Americans, she

62
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,479
felt the region had little to do with her. In

63
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,080
the fall of two thousand, when the Second Intofada, the

64
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Palestinian uprising, was in the news, she grew curious about

65
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,439
it and decided to look into the conflict, and quickly

66
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,000
noticed it was one sided coverage. So she used her

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,079
background in journalism and got the newly available Internet to

68
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,360
notice a drastic pattern of Israeli violence against Palestinians at

69
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,399
mainstream US news organizations, we're revealing and of course, I mean,

70
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,120
this is something we shouldn't even have to worry about, right,

71
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,199
This isn't something we should have an interest. And there

72
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,800
are things like this are happening all over the world.

73
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,720
There are massacres happening every day, there are lands being

74
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:58,079
taken every day. But Israel holds a insane influence over

75
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,399
this country, let's just say, much more so than Kuzar

76
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,360
or Cutter, however you want to pronounce it. So she said,

77
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:08,439
she just started going through it, and she started doing

78
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:13,800
her research, and yeah, she decided that she was going

79
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:19,839
to turn this into She says, a lot of this

80
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:22,199
is a collection of her articles from the trip. Now,

81
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,720
like I said, it's one hundred and seventy nine pages.

82
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,839
The first eighty to eighty five are the book. But

83
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:29,079
then she has so many endnotes, and she said she

84
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,959
just felt like she had to do the endnotes. She

85
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,519
wanted to keep the basis of the article slash book

86
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,600
small enough so that people would want to read it,

87
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,319
So she made the endnotes into something completely different that

88
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,360
you can go, We can go and look through. But

89
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:47,759
I want to concentrate on the basis of the text.

90
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:52,399
So let me start reading and see where this goes.

91
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,319
See how you like it. Chapter one. How the US

92
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:59,560
special relationship with Israel came about. While many people are

93
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,839
liable the US support for Israel is driven by the

94
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:06,000
American establishment and US national interests, the facts don't support

95
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,519
this theory. The reality is that for decades, US foreign

96
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,639
policy and defense experts opposed supporting the creation of Israel.

97
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,879
They then similarly opposed the massive American funding and diplomatic

98
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,800
support that sustained the forcibly established state and that provided

99
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,399
a blank check for its aggressive expansion. They were simply

100
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:31,319
outmaneuvered and eventually replaced. Talking about the experts, the defense

101
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:34,560
experts and foreign policy experts who spoke out against this.

102
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,839
Like many American policies, US Middle East policies are driven

103
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:41,920
by a special interest lobby. However, the Israel lobby, as

104
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:45,360
it is called today in the US as a footnote there,

105
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,639
consists of vastly more than what most people envision in

106
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,759
the world in the word lobby. Let me pull that

107
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:57,040
up on a separate screen so that I can look

108
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:59,680
at some of the follow along on a separate screen,

109
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,000
look at some of the footnotes as we do this together,

110
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:10,160
and see where she's I'm assuming Israel lobby is probably

111
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,279
going to link to, yeah, says in Israel, it's typically

112
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,920
called the Jewish lobby, perhaps reflective of the fact that

113
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:22,000
today virtually all the mainstream Jewish organizations in the US,

114
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,399
both secular, religious and secular, the ADL, Jewish Federations, Jewish

115
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:32,360
Community Relations Council, Conference of Presidents of major Jewish said, YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA,

116
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,279
all of these advocate for Israel. And she has a list.

117
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,839
She has a link to a list there. So yeah,

118
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:44,920
so we can see you follow this along and use

119
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,279
see where she's pulling this from reading on, as this

120
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,000
book will demonstrate, the Israel lobby is considerably more powerful

121
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,439
and pervasive than other lobbies. Components of it both individuals

122
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,920
and groups have worked underground, secretly and even illegally, through

123
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,879
at its history as documented by scholars and participants not

124
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:07,279
those kind of scholars, and even through the movement. For

125
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:10,079
even though the Movement for Israel has been operating in

126
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:12,319
the US for over one hundred years, most Americans are

127
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:16,160
completely unaware of this movement and its attendant ideology, a

128
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:21,600
measure of its unique influence over public knowledge. What is

129
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:26,439
she saying there? Saying? How does the public get knowledge

130
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:29,360
of these things? I think this is some kind of

131
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,799
troupe she's hinting at the success of this movement to

132
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,200
achieve its goals, partly due to the hidden nature of

133
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,120
much of its activity, has been staggering. It has also

134
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,519
common in almost unimaginable cost. It has led to massive

135
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,879
tragedy in the Middle East, one hundred year war of

136
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,159
violence and loss, sacred land soaked in sorrow. In addition,

137
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480
this movement has been profoundly damaging to the United States itself,

138
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,320
as we will see in this two part examination of

139
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,759
the pro Israel movement. It has targeted virtually every significant

140
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,679
section of American society work to involve Americans in tragic,

141
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:09,080
unnecessary and profoundly costly wars, dominated Congress for decades, increasingly

142
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:13,159
determined which candidates could become serious contenders for the US presidency,

143
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:17,879
and promoted bigotry toward an entire population, religion, and culture.

144
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,480
I will remind you that there are going to be

145
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:24,000
things that we are Alison Weir is, as far as

146
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,360
I can tell, she's not one of us. So there

147
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,559
may be language in here where you roll your eyes

148
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:34,039
at it. We're here for the information you're not going

149
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,360
to agree with with everyone, so all right. It has

150
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,399
promoted policies that have endangered Americans, Americans to exposed Americans

151
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:48,399
to growing danger, and then exaggerated this danger while disguising

152
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,120
its cause feeling actions that dismember some of our nation's

153
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,240
most fundamental freedoms and cherished principles. Another footnote this is

154
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:02,639
see example Tom Steve in Civil Liberties after September eleventh,

155
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:07,639
the CounterPunch article A report, A report, a call to

156
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:12,399
courage reclaiming art Liberty ten years after nine to eleven

157
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:17,679
from the ACLU. Like I said, she's she's going to

158
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:21,919
pull from people that I don't think she's going to

159
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,679
be quoting American Renaissance here and that's okay, all right,

160
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,759
all this for a population that is considerably smaller than

161
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:35,759
New Jerseys. That's how she ends Chapter one, short but sweet.

162
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:42,399
Chapter two, the beginnings the Israel Lobby of the US

163
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:45,000
is just the tip of an older and much and

164
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,960
far larger iceberg known as political Zionism and an international

165
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,919
movement that began in the late eighteen hundreds with the

166
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,840
goal of creating a Jewish state somewhere in the world.

167
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,639
In eighteen ninety seven, this movement, led by a European

168
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,399
quote unquote European journalist named Theodore Hertzel, coalesced in the

169
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:07,720
First Zionist Congress Tells in Basil, Switzerland, which established a

170
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:12,000
World Zionist organization representsing one hundred and seventeen groups the

171
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,399
first year, nine hundred the next. So let me see

172
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:25,240
about Let's see Hertzel here? What is it? Oh? We

173
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:28,720
got here. Hertzel is considered the founder of political Zionism,

174
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,639
is often referred to as the father of Israel. His

175
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,879
seminal book The Jewish State is online. Heretz says Hertzel

176
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:39,559
devoted all his time to the movement, eventually dying at

177
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,360
the age of forty four. Leaving his family penniless. All right,

178
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:50,639
let's keep reading. There's another immediate one here. They said

179
00:11:51,039 --> 00:11:53,799
nine hundred the next So the first year of the

180
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:56,840
World Zionist Congress was representing one hundred and seventeen groups,

181
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,679
and then nine hundred the next. And there is a

182
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,440
Theresa's Kathleen Christian Christensen. Perceptions of Palestine their influence on

183
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,440
US Middle Eastern policy from a book from two thousand

184
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,519
John Herbert Davis, The Evasive Peace, A Study of the

185
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:20,879
Zionist Arab Problem versus. That's a book for New World Press,

186
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,519
nineteen seventy. It was called the Zionist Organization. Its name

187
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,799
officially changed to World Zionist Organization in nineteen sixty. Most

188
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:34,440
people use the two names interchangeably, okay, So more there

189
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,960
of what we're reading and where she's footnoting. While Zioni

190
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,720
is considered such places as Argentina, Uganda, and the Mediterranean

191
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:47,720
island of Cyprus and Texas. They eventually settled on Palestine

192
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440
for the location of their proposed Jewish state, even though

193
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,399
Palestine was already inhabited by a population that was ninety

194
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,000
three to ninety six percent non Jewish. So when you

195
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,399
hear them say a land without a people for a

196
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:11,120
people without a land, They're lying. They're lying, They're lying.

197
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:20,320
So there's just some more. Another footnote number six goes

198
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:30,039
to connects to a book. Footnote number seven says, oh,

199
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:35,120
here's a good one. Number seven the best analysis says

200
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:38,799
the population was ninety six percent Muslim, Muslims and Christians,

201
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,159
who owned ninety nine percent of the land. After the

202
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Zionis Congress, Vienna's rabbis sent two of their numbers to

203
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,919
explore Palestine as a possible Jewish state. These rabbis recognize

204
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,399
the obstacle that Palestinians presents it to plan to the plan,

205
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:56,440
writing home, the bride is beautiful, but she is married

206
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:04,000
to another man. Still, Zionis ultimately pushed forward. Numerous Zionist diary, entrees, letters,

207
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,080
and other documents show that they decided to push out

208
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:15,120
these non Jews financially if possible, violently if necessary. So

209
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,279
what are violently if necessary? That's by Nur a book

210
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,639
by Ner Massalha, Expulsion of the Palestinians The Concept of

211
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:30,399
Transferring Zionist Political Thought, eighteen eighty two to nineteen forty eight, Washington, DC,

212
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:36,639
Institute for Palestine studies aliety. So let's keep going. We

213
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:43,000
lay off these, lay off these footnotes so much only

214
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,840
maybe an important one. Political Zionism in the US. The

215
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,360
importance of the United States to this movement was recognized

216
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,039
from early on. One of the founders of political Zionism,

217
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,360
Max Nordau, wrote a few years after the Basel Conference,

218
00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:03,399
Zionism's only hope is the Jews of America, which means

219
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,919
that really, anyone who's using the name Max Nordau or

220
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,440
as a fan of Max Nordau, should want the Jews,

221
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,799
should want all Jews to go to Israel. This is

222
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:22,679
the only hope. That's what their namesake said. At that

223
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:25,720
time and for decades after, the large majority of Jewish

224
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Americans were not Zionists. In fact, many actively opposed Zionism.

225
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,159
In the coming years, however, Zionists were to woo them

226
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:37,399
assiduously with every means at hand. The extent of which

227
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,679
Nordau's hope was eventually realized is indicated by the statement

228
00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:45,159
by a prominent author on Jewish history, Naomi Cohen, who

229
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:48,480
in two thousand and three wrote quoting but for the

230
00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:52,639
financial support and political pressure of American Jews, Israel might

231
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:57,320
not have been born in nineteen forty eight, So you

232
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,360
had a group of people who were wealthy and had

233
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:13,759
political power who were advocating for someplace else. How, my

234
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,919
great grandfather had been here, let's see thirty eight years

235
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,360
in nineteen forty eight. He was advocating for America. My

236
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,240
grandfather was born here, he had just served in World

237
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:36,360
War Two. He wasn't thinking about going anywhere else, and

238
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:43,159
he's buried here. So this might be added Zionists success

239
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,440
in influencing American politicians, the media, and much of the

240
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:50,519
general public. Groups advocating the setting up of a Jewish

241
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:54,039
state had first begun popping up around the United States

242
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,399
in the eighteen eighties. Emma Lazarus, the poet whose words

243
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,440
I Don't adorned the Statue of Liberty, promoted Zionism throughout

244
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,799
this decade. A precursor to the American Flag was created

245
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:11,279
in Boston in eighteen ninety one. So Emma Lazarus wrote

246
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,680
the famous poem on the Statue of Liberty, saying that

247
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,440
people from all over the world should be allowed into

248
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,720
the United States without you know, without exception. She made

249
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:30,480
it sound like anybody could come here. While she was

250
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:40,079
promoting her own people having her own country. A precursor

251
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,359
to the Israeli flag was created in Boston in eighteen

252
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,400
ninety one. In eighteen eighty seven, President Grover Cleveland appointed

253
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,920
a Jewish ambassador to Turkey, seat of the Ottoman Empire,

254
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,400
which at that time controlled Palestine. Because of Palestine's importance

255
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,920
to Zionists. Think about that Jewish ambassador of to Turkey.

256
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Jewish historian David G. Dalan reports that presidents considered the

257
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:10,519
Turkish embassy important to the growing number of Zionists within

258
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:17,359
the American Jewish electorate. The growing number of Zionists within

259
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,319
the American Jewish electorate a group of people who want

260
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:28,039
their own land. But then when it's founded, they don't go.

261
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,079
A lot of them some of them went, A lot

262
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:39,319
of them didn't. Well, why why isn't that a good

263
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,319
I always thought that that was a really good question.

264
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,319
It might be something of a loaded question, but it's

265
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,960
a good question. Every president, both Republican and Democrat, followed

266
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,480
this president for the next thirty years. During this year,

267
00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:59,680
the ambassadorship to Turkey came to be considered a quasi

268
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:07,880
Jewjewish domain, writestalin So. Thirty years after eighteen eighty seven,

269
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,559
If you wanted to be the ambassador to Turkey, you'd

270
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:20,599
better be a Zionist. You'd better be Jewish. By the

271
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:27,279
early eighteen nineties, organizations promoting Zionism existed in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia,

272
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:31,880
and Cleveland. Reports from the Zionist World Council in Basel,

273
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,880
which four Americans had attended, gave this movement a major stimulus,

274
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,559
galvanizing Zionist activities in American Zionist activities in American cities

275
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:47,559
that haired large Jewish populations. In eighteen ninety seven and

276
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,319
ninety eight, Zionists founded numerous additional societies throughout the East

277
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,359
and the Midwest. In eighteen ninety eight, they converged in

278
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,920
a first Annual Conference of American Zionists held in New

279
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,839
York on July fourth. There they formed the Federation of

280
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:09,359
American Zionists FAZ. It did on July fourth, the first

281
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,319
Annual Conference of American Zionists. People who have who are

282
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,079
going to advocate for their own country, they do it

283
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,000
on July fourth. By the nineteen tens, a number of

284
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:24,759
Zionists in the US approached twenty thousand and included lawyers,

285
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,599
professors and businessmen. Even in its infancy, when it was

286
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:32,759
still relatively weak and represented only a tiny fraction of

287
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,279
the American Jewish population, Zionism was becoming a movement to

288
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,400
which congressmen, particularly in the Eastern cities, began to listen.

289
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:46,240
The movement continued to expand. By nineteen fourteen, several additional

290
00:20:46,319 --> 00:20:51,039
Zionist groups had formed, including Hadasa, the Woman's Zionist Organization.

291
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,240
By nineteen eighteen there were one hundred there were by

292
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,920
nineteen eighteen there were two hundred thousand Zionists in the US,

293
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,119
and by nineteen forty eight that had grown to almost

294
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:14,960
a million, so nineteen ten twenty thousand, roughly nineteen eighteen

295
00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:24,559
two hundred thousand, thirty years later, almost a million. From

296
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:27,920
early on, Zionists actively pushed air agenda in the media.

297
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,880
One Zionist organizer proudly proclaimed in nineteen twelve quoting the

298
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,599
zealous and incessant propaganda which is carried on by countless societies.

299
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,279
The Yiddish press, from a very early period espoused the

300
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,480
Zionist cause. By nineteen twenty three, every New York Yiddish

301
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,839
newspaper except one was Zionist. Yiddish dailies reached five hundred

302
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:56,519
and thirty five thousand families in nineteen twenty seven. This

303
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,559
in the United States, not in Russia. Not while Zionists

304
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:04,519
were making major inroads and influencing Congress and the media,

305
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:08,000
State Department officials were less enamored with Zionists, who they

306
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,160
felt were trying to use the American government for a

307
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,880
project damaging to the United States. These are smart people.

308
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,839
These are the people Stormy and I talked about in

309
00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:24,599
our Robber Barons series. Unlike politicians, State department officials were

310
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,759
not dependent on votes and campaign donations. They were charged

311
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:31,920
with recommending and implementing policies beneficial to all Americans, not

312
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:35,759
just one tiny sliver working on behalf of a foreign entity.

313
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,799
In memo after memo, year after year, US diplomatic and

314
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,119
military experts pointed out that Zionism was countered to both

315
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:53,720
the US interests and principles. Why would that be Why

316
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,599
would they think that? Is that because they were anti Semites?

317
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,200
Is that because they were low IQ US diplomatic and

318
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,240
military experts. They're just not smart people. You know, probably

319
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:12,799
from the South eighty eighty IQs or maybe as Leo Pinsker,

320
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,759
you know, one of the fathers of Zionism, said, anti

321
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:19,799
Semitism is just a hereditary It was passed down to them.

322
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,359
I don't think that's it at all, but you know,

323
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:27,000
if they can be a hyperbolic sosicnent way. While more

324
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,319
examples will be discussed later, Secretary of State Filander Knox

325
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,200
was perhaps the first in the pattern of State Department

326
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,079
officials rejecting Zionist advances. In nineteen twelve, the Zionists Literary

327
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,240
Society approached its alf administration for an endorsement. Knox turned

328
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:45,960
them down flat, noting that problems of Zionism involved certain

329
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,279
matters primarily related to the interests of countries other than

330
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,240
our own. He's saying, we're America. This has nothing to

331
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:59,519
do with us, so go away. Despite the small set

332
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:01,880
back in the nine ten twelve, Zionists garnered a far

333
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,440
more significant victory in the same year, one that was

334
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,400
to have enormous consequences both internationally and in the United States.

335
00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:13,400
And that was a part pattern of influence that continues

336
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,200
through today. I think I'm gonna stop right there. That's enough.

337
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:22,440
Do the little intro, read the first two short chapters,

338
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,240
and then come back in a couple of days and

339
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:32,279
do Lewis Brandeis Zionism and the Perusium. All right, So yeah,

340
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:36,720
I'm I want to do more for everybody who supports

341
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,680
on substack. It's such a great platform and the fact

342
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,640
that you guys support me through it is is great

343
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:49,480
and you know, I appreciate it. And like I said,

344
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,000
I think this is a good book to go through.

345
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,279
It'll be pretty short and can look for something else

346
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:58,319
to look down the line. That. So yeah, that's it

347
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:02,680
and I'll be back in a couple of days. Take care,

348
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,920
but welcome back to part two of my reading of

349
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:15,400
Against Our Better Judgment by Alison Weir picking. I gonna

350
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,599
pick right up chapter three where I left off. Just

351
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,559
a reminder this a lot of this may be remedial

352
00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:25,160
to some of you, so you may just skip over it.

353
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,960
That's fine, that's it's not for you. You know, there

354
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,039
are people who can dig, who are willing, like myself,

355
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:34,039
to dig much deeper into this, people who are willing

356
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:41,119
to listen to Daryl's Darryl's whole. I forget how many

357
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000
hours fear and loathing in the New Jerusalem is. But

358
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,319
you know, even some a lot of that doesn't go

359
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,400
into this because this really concentrates on the American side.

360
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:55,279
So yeah, like I said, don't know much about miss

361
00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:59,480
Weir explained if you want to know, I went over

362
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:02,839
a little bit what of her background or why she

363
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,240
did why she said she wrote this on the first episode.

364
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,920
I wouldn't start with this episode. I'd go to the

365
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,279
next episode. So yep, I'm just going to jump right in,

366
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,200
picking up where we left off. Chapter three. Lewis Brandeis,

367
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:25,240
Zionism and the Parisium. In nineteen twelve, prominent Jewish American

368
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:27,839
attorney Lewis Brandeis, who was to go on to become

369
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,559
a Supreme Court justice, became a Zionist. Within two years,

370
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:36,680
he became head of the International Zionist Central Office, newly

371
00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:41,440
moved to America from Germany. While Brandeis is an unusually

372
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:45,400
well known Supreme Court justice, most Americans are aware of

373
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,440
the significant are unaware of the significant role he played

374
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,279
in World War One and his connection to Palestine. Some

375
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:56,160
of this work was done by Felix Frankfurter, who became

376
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,200
a Supreme Court justice two decades later. Perhaps that's the

377
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,240
aspect of Brandeis that is least known to the general public,

378
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,440
and often even to academics, is the extent of his

379
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:10,079
zealotry and the degree to which he used covert measures

380
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:17,400
to achieve his aims covert who would have thought. While

381
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,279
today Brandice is held in extremely high esteem by almost

382
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:25,000
all Americans, there was significant opposition at the time to

383
00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:29,079
his appointment to the Supreme Court, largely centered on widespread

384
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:34,839
accusations of unethical behavior. A typical example was the view

385
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,599
that Brandeis was a man who was a man who

386
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,119
has certain high ideals in his imagination, but who is

387
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,480
utterly unscrupulous in method in reaching them. That's a quote

388
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:52,799
from Let's see where that's a quote from. That is

389
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:57,119
from Melvin Urofsky's Lewis D. Brandeis, a life published in

390
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,960
two thousand and nine. Erosky and a Raal Israeli partisan

391
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:04,839
and Brandeis champion. While noting that the campaign against Brandis

392
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:09,799
centered on ethical questions, attributed the motivation to political differences.

393
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,160
All right, while today's such criticisms of Brandeis are either

394
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:20,839
ignored or attributed to political differences or anti Semitism. Let's

395
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:24,240
stop right there and go to thirty regarding the possible

396
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,960
role of anti Semitism, in the opposition to Brandeis. This

397
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:30,279
is in her notes. In her footnote, it seems that

398
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:35,440
his ethnicity may actually have enhanced his chances. Many Jewish leaders,

399
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:40,359
while disliking his Zionism, felt they must support him. Why

400
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:45,400
would that be? Many Jewish leaders, while disliking his Zionism,

401
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:58,039
felt they must must support him. Why because of identity. Similarly,

402
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,119
many non Jews, fearful of being called anti Semitic, remained silent.

403
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:07,200
Journalist Gus Carger reported at the time that quoting many

404
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:10,240
senators who might base their opposition to him on sound

405
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,279
and logical grounds if he were a Presbyterian, are reluctant

406
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:19,599
to take a stand lest they lest their opposition be misconstrued.

407
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,599
That is a quote from page four point forty of

408
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,319
the above mentioned Lewis D. Brandeis a Life by Eurofsky

409
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:35,200
Bruce Allen Murphy. So two also they're up. That's next

410
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:41,880
footnote pardon me so? While today many such let me

411
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,960
finish the sentence. While today many such criticisms of Brandeis

412
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,720
are either ignored or attributed to political differences and or

413
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:51,559
anti Semitism, there is evidence suggesting that such views may

414
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:55,240
have been more accurate than Brandeis's partisans would like. In

415
00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:58,279
nineteen eighty two, historian Bruce Allen Murphy, in a book

416
00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:01,680
that won a Certificate of Merit from the American Bar Association,

417
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,960
reported that Brandeis and Frankfurter had secretly collaborated over many

418
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:12,480
years on numerous covert political activities. Zionism was one of them. Okay,

419
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,119
when you talk about this at this point, even if

420
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,599
you're an academic, even if you have the highest academic credentials,

421
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,599
you're a conspiracy theorist. It doesn't matter whether you can

422
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,359
prove it or not. Saying that two people secretly collaborated

423
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,039
over many years on numerous covert political activities is considered

424
00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:43,400
a conspiracy theory. So let's go to the footnote. This

425
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,200
is a footnote from Bruce Allen Murphy, The Brandeis Frankfurter Connection.

426
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,680
The Secret Political Activities of two Supreme Court Justices, Oxford

427
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:56,359
University Press, nineteen eighty two, Page ten. Bruce Murphy is

428
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,440
a judicial biographer and scholar the American constitutional law and politics,

429
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,519
and as the Fred Morgan Kirby Professor of Civil Rights

430
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:06,720
at Lafayette College. He holds a PhD from the University

431
00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:10,640
of Virginia. This book received a Certificate American from the

432
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:16,839
American Bar Association. The next coming footnotes will be all

433
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:23,200
from this book continuing. In one of the most unique

434
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:26,640
arrangements in the Court's history, Brandeis enlisted Frankfurter, then a

435
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,519
professor at Harvard Law School, as his paid political lobbyist

436
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:33,799
and lieutenant, writes Murphy in his book The Brandeis Frankfurter Connection.

437
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,480
The Secret political activities or two Supreme Court Justices quoting

438
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,119
working together over a period of twenty five years, they

439
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,319
placed a network of disciples in positions of influence and

440
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:51,519
labored diligently for the enactment of their desired programs. Working

441
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:56,599
together over a period of twenty five years, most people say, oh,

442
00:31:56,599 --> 00:31:58,960
you couldn't even go to conspiracy. You can't get two

443
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,839
people to agree on anything. Working together of a period

444
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,160
of twenty five years, they placed a network of disciples

445
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,400
and positions of influence, and labored diligently for the enactment

446
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,000
of their desired programs. This adroit use of the politically

447
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:19,480
skillful Frankfurter as an intermediary enabled Brandeis to keep his

448
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:25,160
considerable political endeavors hidden from the public. Continues Murphy, Brandeis

449
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,119
only mentioned the arrangement to one other person, Murphy writes,

450
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:37,480
another Zionist Lieutenant Court of Appeals Judge Julian Mack. One

451
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:40,559
reason Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their arrangement secret was that

452
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:44,359
such behavior by a sitting Supreme Court justice is considered

453
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,200
highly unethical. As an editorial in The New York Times

454
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,440
pointed out following the publication of Murphy's book, quoting the

455
00:32:51,519 --> 00:32:55,319
Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement was wrong. It serves neither history nor

456
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:59,240
ethics to judge it more kindly, as some seemed disposed

457
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:04,599
to do. The prolonged meddlesome Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement violates ethical

458
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:10,079
standards close quote. The Times reiterates a point also made

459
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:12,960
by Murphy. The fact that Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their

460
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:17,160
arrangement secret demonstrated that they knew it was unethical, or

461
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,920
at least realized that the public would view it as such.

462
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:24,160
Quoting again, they were dodging the public's appropriate measure of

463
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,720
fitness close quote. Later, when Frankfurter himself became a Supreme

464
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,200
Court justice, he used similar methods, quoting placing his own

465
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,279
network of disciples in various agencies, and working through this

466
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,720
network for the realization of his own goals. Close quote.

467
00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:46,599
These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship of FDR's

468
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:53,359
programs to bring the US into battle against Hitler. Read

469
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:58,640
that again. These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship

470
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,960
of FDR's program to bring the US into battle against Hitler.

471
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:07,720
These are not two separate things. These are not two

472
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:13,760
separate things. Sorry, Sorry to the people who think that

473
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:19,760
Hitler was a ZI was a Zionist puppet. Those retards

474
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:26,199
all right. Their activities, Murphy notes were part of a

475
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,239
vast quoting, part of a vast, carefully planned and orchestrated

476
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,280
political crusade undertaken first by Brandeis through Frankfurter, and then

477
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:40,320
by Frankfurter on his own to accomplish extra judicial political goals.

478
00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:44,920
Frankforter had joined the Harvard faculty in nineteen fourteen at

479
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,519
the age of thirty one, a post gained after a

480
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:54,519
Brandeis's initiative donation from financier Jacob Schiff to Harvard that

481
00:34:54,679 --> 00:35:00,159
created a position for Frankfurter, then Murphy writes, quoting For

482
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:03,119
the next twenty five years, Frankfurter shaped the minds of

483
00:35:03,199 --> 00:35:10,039
generations of the nation's most elite law students. After Brandeis

484
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:12,960
became head of the American Zionist movement, he created an

485
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,480
Advisory Council, an inner circle of his closest advisors, and

486
00:35:16,519 --> 00:35:20,519
appointed Felix Frankfurter as one of its members. Let's go

487
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:25,440
back up to Jacob Schiff, I can give you, okay,

488
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,480
nineteen oh five, the revolution in Russia begins. The Reds

489
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:42,280
all just a Jewish organization, is supported by Jacob Scheff.

490
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:50,199
Let's let's put that aside for a second. In nineteen

491
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,880
oh five, the reason why you would start a revolution

492
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:58,559
in Russia is because Russia is fighting Japan in the

493
00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:05,920
Russo Japanese War, which the United States government and Jacob

494
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:13,480
Shiff in which they supported Japan against Russia. So while

495
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:22,880
Russia is fighting Japan to I mean, I even forget

496
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,880
what that was over, because it's mostly the whole thing

497
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,639
for it for me is just how they used it

498
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:36,360
as an excuse to start the Russian Revolution. Schiff convinces

499
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:41,360
the United States government and through himself finances Japan against Russia,

500
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:46,280
and he's financing the revolutionary movement in Russia to overthrow

501
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:56,199
this aar. And then he financed much of the nineteen

502
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,360
seventeen revolution because the nineteen oh five revolution didn't obviously

503
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,639
didn't work. We know that damaging, but it didn't work.

504
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,239
So Jacob Schiff had a heart on for Russia. Why

505
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:19,280
because some fake pograms. Because some Sabatians, some Sabotian Jewish

506
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,960
people in the sixteen hundreds decided that the Messiah was coming,

507
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,320
so they would just start killing people openly by the hundreds,

508
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:41,079
kind of what we see happening now, and Cossacks had

509
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:45,079
to step in and squash it. To this day, Jews

510
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:48,360
will tell you they were just sitting around doing nothing

511
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,679
and all of a sudden Cossacks shut up and killed

512
00:37:51,760 --> 00:38:01,679
thirty five thousand or forty thousand of them are actually

513
00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:07,519
new section the parishim Even more surprising to this author,

514
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,760
miss Weirs speaking of herself, of course, and even less

515
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,079
well known both to the publicans academics, is Brandeis's membership

516
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:17,960
in a secret society that covertly pushed Zionism both in

517
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,559
the US and internationally. Let's check the footnotes for that.

518
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:27,440
So the footnote says, it is surprising how extremely buried

519
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:32,599
this information remains after I posted Sarah Schmidt's article on

520
00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:36,440
it see the footnote below online in twenty ten and

521
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:39,599
mentioned it in my online in print drafts of the book.

522
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,079
Another book released this year mentions the society but fails

523
00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:48,639
to report accurately on its covert nature and significant activities.

524
00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:51,760
So I guess that's called the book is called Just

529
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:19,800
have written Horace M. Callen, Prophet of American Zionism in

530
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:26,400
nineteen ninety five. Then it says Doctor Sarah Schmidt teaches

531
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,159
courses related to modern Jewish history at the Rothberg International

532
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,239
School of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with an emphasis

533
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,960
both in Israeli and American Jewish history. She is also

534
00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:39,519
associated with the Jerusalem Center for Public Arts, focused on

535
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:44,519
Israeli security, regional diplomacy, and international law, and there's a

536
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:48,840
link there to a website, and then it says Peter

537
00:39:49,079 --> 00:39:52,199
Gross Israel in the Mind of America and Off publication,

538
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,440
nineteen eighty four. I guess we'll be talking about that.

539
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:57,320
Peter Gross was an editor and specialist in the history

540
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:02,039
of intelligence and an editor for The New York Times

541
00:40:02,039 --> 00:40:06,519
and Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs in New Economy's paper. I

542
00:40:06,559 --> 00:40:10,239
believe that's not newspaper but magazine. Believe it's I believe that.

543
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,360
He held a position at the Belfer Center for Science

544
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,880
International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

545
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,559
He is author of a number of books on modern

546
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:26,000
US history. All right back to what I was writing.

547
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:28,679
I did want to say that because I want to

548
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,119
go to that, because I mean, that is a you're

549
00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:34,280
making a claim about a secret society. Well, where did

550
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,440
that come from? It came from a professor at the

551
00:40:38,559 --> 00:40:44,280
University of Jerusalem, Israeli professor doctor Sarah Schmidt first reported

552
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,880
this information in an article about the society published in

553
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,920
nineteen seventy eight in the American Jewish Historical Quarterly. She

554
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,440
also devoted a chapter to the society in a nineteen

555
00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:55,159
ninety five book. Author and former New York Times editor

556
00:40:55,199 --> 00:40:58,639
Peter Gross Sympathetics of Zionism, also reported on it in

557
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,639
both a book and several subsequent articles. According to Gross,

558
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:07,079
a highly regarded author, Brandeis was a leader of quoting

559
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:11,280
an elitist secret society called the Parisham the Hebrew word

560
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,800
for pharisees and separate, which grow out of Harvard's which

561
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:22,960
grew out of Harvard's Minora society. Are you starting to

562
00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:27,280
understand that this just didn't happen like yesterday, This didn't

563
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,320
happen in the last ten years, didn't happen at the

564
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:35,679
founding of Israel? You understand how far back this goes?

565
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,320
Schmidt writes, the images that emerge. The image that emerges

566
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,440
of the Parisham is that it of a secret, underground

567
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,960
guerrilla force determined to influence the course of events in

568
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:52,519
a quiet, anonymous way. That's all quote, Gross writes at

569
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:57,400
Brandeis used to Parisham quote as a private intellectual cadre,

570
00:41:57,639 --> 00:42:01,079
a pool of man power for various assignments. Brandeis recruited

571
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:03,840
ambitious young men, often from Harvard, to work on the

572
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,360
Zionist cause and further their careers in the process. G

573
00:42:10,559 --> 00:42:14,400
do you think that could also work in the opposite direction.

574
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:18,320
If they work for the Zionist cause, you get to

575
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:24,960
further your career if you don't. Quoting. As the Harvard

576
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,679
men spread out across the land in their professional pursuits,

577
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:31,519
gross reports, their interests in Zionism were kept alive by

578
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,679
secret of exchanges. In the trappings of a fraternal order.

579
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:40,320
Each invited initiate underwent a solemn ceremony swearing the oath.

580
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,559
To swearing the oath quote, to guard and to obey,

581
00:42:44,679 --> 00:42:46,880
and to keep secret the laws and the labor of

582
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:52,360
the fellowship, its existence, and its aims. Close quote. At

583
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,039
the secret initiation ceremony, new members were told, this is

584
00:42:56,119 --> 00:43:02,000
quoting from this book by a Zionist. They really like

585
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:06,800
to brag sometimes, Pudding, You are about to take a

586
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,280
step which will bind you to a single cause for

587
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:14,039
all your life. You will for one year be subject

588
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:17,280
to an absolute duty whose call you will be impelled

589
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,159
to heed, at any time, in any place, and at

590
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:26,039
any cost, and ever after until our purpose shall be accomplished.

591
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,960
You'll be fellow of a brotherhood who's bond you will

592
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,800
regard as greater than any other in your life, dearer

593
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:41,800
than that of family, of school, of nation. So what

594
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,719
you can assume is the best and brightest legal minds

595
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,559
or I mean any I'm sure Brandice could reach out

596
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:58,000
beyond the law department whatever. He is getting the best

597
00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,320
minds in the country, the people who are coming out

598
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,800
of the most elite institution in the country by reputation,

599
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:12,039
to pledge their loyalty to Zionism, above family, above school,

600
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:17,719
and above their nation. How did we get to the

601
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,360
point where we're not even a country anymore? I don't know.

602
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,679
While Brandis was a key leader of the parisham, an

603
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,800
academic named Horace M. Callan was its founder, created it

604
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,199
in nineteen thirteen. What else happened? Weird stuff happening here?

605
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:38,239
Callen was an Well, what happened the following year is

606
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,519
probably really important, even more so important. I think the

607
00:44:42,519 --> 00:44:44,960
beginning of the war, the Great War, is more important

608
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:51,119
than the founding of the Federal Reserve. Libertarians just screaming

609
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:54,800
their heads off right now. Callen was an academic first

610
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,000
hired by Woodrow Wilson, who was then President of Princeton,

611
00:44:59,039 --> 00:45:04,519
to teach English. When Callen founded the parishim he was

612
00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:07,920
a philosophy professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

613
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,920
This secret Zionist society was founded at the University of

614
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,079
Wisconsin in Madison. Do you want to stop and think

615
00:45:20,079 --> 00:45:25,800
about that for a second? And this is what nineteen thirteen,

616
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:32,920
have any thoughts. Callen is generally considered the father of

617
00:45:33,079 --> 00:45:42,360
cultural pluralism. What's another word for cultural pluralism? Could it

618
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:52,320
be a multiculturalism? You understand? Thoughhy I wanted to read

619
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:58,320
this book. In her book on Callen, Schmidt includes more

620
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,920
information on the society in a ch entitled Callen's Secret

621
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,559
Army the Parisham. She reports a member swearing this is

622
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:09,280
quoting a member swearing allegiance to the Parisham felt something

623
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,360
of a spirit of commitment to a secret military fellowship.

624
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,320
Still quoting, Callen invited no one to become a member

625
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,960
until the candidate had given specific assurances regarding devotion and

626
00:46:21,039 --> 00:46:25,400
resolution to the Zionist cause, Schmidt writes, quoting again, and

627
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:29,440
each initiative initiate had to undergo a rigorous analysis of

628
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,719
his qualifications, loyalty and willingness to take orders from the

629
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:43,800
Order's executive council. Willingness to take orders from the Order's

630
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:49,719
executive Council. Now go up here. What does it say?

631
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:56,639
You will be in a bond greater than dearer than

632
00:46:56,639 --> 00:46:59,360
that of your family, of your school, and of your nation.

633
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,519
So if they are given an order that contradicts the

634
00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:16,280
good of the nation, well he orders Executive Council. Trump's America.

635
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,320
Not surprisingly, it appears that Frankfurter was a member. Let's

636
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,719
see fifty one, fifty one. Let's see where we go here.

637
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:31,159
Ben on That one is Ben Halpern The Americanization of

638
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,599
Zionism eighteen eighty to nineteen thirty in American Zionism, Mission

639

640
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,239
a thirteen volume series edited by Jeffrey S. Garak published

641
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:49,519
by the American Jewish Historical Society, and also Gross Engross

642
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:53,480
or that's not part of that, so yeah, another one

643
00:47:53,639 --> 00:47:59,800
that this comes from a Jewish source. You don't need

644
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,920
to really read outside of them. They will tell you,

645
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,400
all right, we must new heading. We must work silently

646
00:48:13,559 --> 00:48:19,519
through education and infection. Members of the Parisham were quite

647
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:23,320
clear about the necessity of keeping their activity secret, and

648
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,440
early recruited to the Parisham explained, quoting an organization which

649
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,880
has the aims we have, must be anonymous, must work

650
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,440
silently and through education and infection rather than through force

651
00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:37,519
and noise. He wrote that to work openly would be

652
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:45,760
suicidal for their objective education and infection rather than force

653
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:52,119
and noise. Why would he write that working openly would

654
00:48:52,119 --> 00:48:59,039
be suicidal for their objective? Is it because if people

655
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:04,000
found out, if the wasp elites at the time found out,

656
00:49:05,039 --> 00:49:07,239
even if the public might have got wind of it,

657
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,440
Especially since there was a group in the South who,

658
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,519
because of the Leo Frank trial, who had pretty much

659
00:49:16,599 --> 00:49:21,639
been kind of dormant for a while, ramped up again.

660
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:31,559
Gross describes how the group worked toward achieving its goals. Quote,

661
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,840
the members set about meeting people of influence here and

662
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,400
there casually on a friendly basis. They planned some suggestions

663
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,039
for actions to further the Zionist cause, long before official

664
00:49:41,079 --> 00:49:48,719
government planners had come up with anything. So the members

665
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,320
set about meeting people of influence here and there casually

666
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,320
on a friendly basis. Why did my mind reading that

667
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:07,400
immediately think of Jeffrey Epstein. Continuing, for example, Gross writes,

668
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:09,760
as early as November nineteen fifteen, a leader of the

669
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,840
parisham went around suggesting that the British might gain some

670
00:50:13,039 --> 00:50:16,320
benefit from a formal declaration in support of a Jewish

671
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:21,880
national homeland in Palestine. She writes more on this in

672
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:26,480
the following chapter. Brandeis was also a close friend of

673
00:50:26,519 --> 00:50:29,760
the President Woodrow Wilson, and used this access to advocate

674
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,719
for the Zionist cause at time, serving as a conduit

675
00:50:33,039 --> 00:50:38,599
between British Zionists and the President. A lot of people think, oh,

676
00:50:38,679 --> 00:50:43,360
Colonel House working in the background, did all this now, No,

677
00:50:44,519 --> 00:50:50,719
as Lewis, Brandeis sure hidden, But it didn't have to be,

678
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,760
you know, the secret of Colonel House. It just had

679
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,599
to be secret. In nineteen sixteen, President Wilson named Brandeis

680
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:09,559
to this Supreme Court. All of these coincidences coincidences at

681
00:51:09,559 --> 00:51:12,719
that time, As was required by standard ethics, Brandeis gave

682
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,960
into a press, gave into pressure to officially resign from

683
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,320
all his private clubs and affiliations, including his leadership of Zionism.

684
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,639
But behind the scenes he continued the Zionist work, quietly,

685
00:51:23,679 --> 00:51:26,519
receiving the only reports in the Supreme Court chambers and

686
00:51:26,559 --> 00:51:32,760
issuing orders to his loyal lieutenants. That footnote is wow.

687
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:39,800
Scrolling forward, she has a lot here. It's from uh

688
00:51:40,559 --> 00:51:43,800
gross mind, from from Neil Piffers and also a gross

689
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,760
mind of America. Brandeis also played a decisive role in

690
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:51,079
planning Wilson's economic program, in particularly informative formulating the Federal Reserve.

691
00:51:52,199 --> 00:52:02,159
Of course, he did all right, including his leadership, but

692
00:52:02,199 --> 00:52:05,320
behind the scenes he continued the Zionists wore quietly yet okay.

693
00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:10,280
When the Zionist Organization of Americaza was reorganized in nineteen eighteen,

694
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,159
Brandeis was listed as its honorary president. However, he was

695
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,920
more than just honorary, as historian Donald Neff writes, quoting

696
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,920
through his lieutenants, he remained the power behind the throne

697
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,199
end quote. One of these lieutenants, of course, was Felix Frankfurter.

698
00:52:29,079 --> 00:52:32,840
Zionist membership expanded dramatically during World War One, despite the

699
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,039
efforts of some Jewish anti Zionists, one of whom called

700
00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:45,880
the movement a foreign, Unamerican, racist and separatist phenomenon. I

701
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,719
think we'll stop there. First one was about twenty five minutes.

702
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,719
We'reried about twenty eight. Now do this in bite sized chunks,

703
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:59,760
because there's a lot here. And yeah, I mean, I

704
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:04,079
think this is best taken this way, best taken this way.

705
00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:06,400
I mean the first one, first episode, we did chapter

706
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,960
one and two. That was just chapter three, and I

707
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:13,000
don't want to jump right now into chapter four, which

708
00:53:13,039 --> 00:53:15,559
is World War One and the bout four Declaration, because

709
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:21,320
the hits are going to keep on coming. And like

710
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,519
I said, there are some people who are like, I

711
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:27,599
knew this, I knew this, I knew this, I knew this,

712
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,320
and we need you. But yeah, a lot of people

713
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,280
just don't know about this stuff. And I think it's important,

714
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:41,599
especially now, especially at a time when you are seeing

715
00:53:41,639 --> 00:53:50,199
a full court press by international Zionism, and not only

716
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:58,480
is Zionists to hide what they're doing. It's kind of

717
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,480
hard to hide it when you have video, but definitely

718
00:54:01,559 --> 00:54:04,800
to lie about it. And you just need to see

719
00:54:05,679 --> 00:54:10,480
this isn't a new ballgame. This is just this is

720
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:12,960
a game that they play. It's a hand they play

721
00:54:13,039 --> 00:54:19,039
over and over and over again. Which is really stupid

722
00:54:19,079 --> 00:54:25,360
on their part because nothing at this time, at the

723
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,719
time that Brandeis and Frankfurt are doing this. In nineteen tens,

724
00:54:30,639 --> 00:54:34,199
the conception that we would have the internet an instant

725
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:40,400
access being able to bunk things in real time they

726
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,119
should have started playing a different hand by now, but

727
00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:46,000
it's the same one. I hope you see that. All right,

728
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,760
be back in a couple of days and we will

729
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:54,800
pick up with chapter four. Take care, good morning, and

730
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,480
it actually is morning, so bear with me. Last couple ones,

731
00:54:58,519 --> 00:55:01,719
I actually Lichene all secret courted him in the afternoon

732
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,119
schedule for the next day. But this one is Friday morning,

733
00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:10,519
and I am exhausted. So but I didn't want to

734
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,679
abandon this or delay it at all because the reactions

735
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:18,719
I've been getting to this book have been pretty incredible

736
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,559
so far. So even Stormy comes out to me, is like, oh,

737
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,800
I'm like yeah, yeah. So all right, let's jump back

738
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,320
into it. Last episode we talked about Lewis Brandeis and

739
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,639
Felix Frankfurter in Supreme Court and basically how they secretly

740
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,599
and oh not openly, but secretly worked behind the scenes

741
00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:47,159
formed secret societies to push the Zionist agenda in America

742
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:53,360
from the Supreme Court bench. All right. Chapter four, World

743
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,400
War One and the bout four Declaration. Most analysts consider

744
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,360
World War One a pointless conflict that resulted from diptic

745
00:56:00,519 --> 00:56:04,639
entanglements rather than some travesty of justice or aggression. Yet

746
00:56:04,639 --> 00:56:08,039
it was catastrophic to a generation of Europeans, killing fourteen

747
00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:12,280
million people. The United States joined this unnecessary war a

748
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,000
few years into the hostilities, causing many America lives, even

749
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,360
though the US was not party to the alliances that

750
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,920
had drawn other nations into the fray. This even though

751
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,559
Americans had been strongly opposed to entering the war and

752
00:56:25,559 --> 00:56:29,079
Woodrow Wilson had won the presidency with the slogan he

753
00:56:29,199 --> 00:56:35,320
kept US out of war. President Wilson changed course in

754
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,280
nineteen seventeen and plunged the US into the tragic European conflict.

755
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:44,079
Approximately two hundred and seventy thousand Americans were killed or injured.

756
00:56:46,079 --> 00:56:51,400
That was in I mean less than two years. Over

757
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,199
twelve hundred American citizens who opposed the war were rounded

758
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,840
up and imprisoned, some for years for going out into

759
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:03,480
the streets and telling people to draft. They're thrown in prison.

760
00:57:05,119 --> 00:57:09,000
It's free country, bro A number of reasons were publicly

761
00:57:09,039 --> 00:57:12,719
given for Wilson's change of heart, including Germany's submarine warfare,

762
00:57:13,039 --> 00:57:16,400
germany Is sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania, and

763
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:21,599
a diplomatic debacle known as the Zimmerman Telegram episode all

764
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:31,320
complete propaganda. Germans took out ads and papers telling people

765
00:57:31,519 --> 00:57:35,599
don't go on any American ships. We know they have

766
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:40,000
weapons and munitions aboard them, even if they're a passenger

767
00:57:40,039 --> 00:57:43,199
ship like the Lusitania which sank in about four minutes

768
00:57:43,559 --> 00:57:47,039
because it was because it exploded as soon as it

769
00:57:47,079 --> 00:57:51,960
got hit by a torpedo because it had munitions on it.

770
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:57,880
They said, don't do it. And then the Zimmerman Telegram.

771
00:57:58,079 --> 00:58:00,360
Thomas and I went over that in UH one of

772
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,840
the World War One episodes, So go check out that serious.

773
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,760
While Americans today are aware of many of these facts,

774
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,320
few know that Zionism appears to have been one of

775
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,360
those factors. Diverse documentary evidence shows a Zionist push for

776
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,599
the US to enter the war on Britain's side as

777
00:58:15,639 --> 00:58:18,440
part of a deal to gain British support for their

778
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,840
colonization of Palestine. From the very beginning of their movement,

779
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,280
Zionists realized that if they were to succeed in their

780
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,559
goals of creating a Jewish state on land that was

781
00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:30,960
already inhabited by non Jews, they needed backing from one

782
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,760
of the great powers. Remember I mentioned probably an episode

783
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,719
one from the river, enough from the road to the sea.

784
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:42,280
But a land without a people, for a people without

785
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,440
a land, all you have to do is go read

786
00:58:44,519 --> 00:58:47,599
Hurtzel or read any of the proto Zionists. They knew

787
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,360
there were people there. They talk about them. I believe

788
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:56,480
Hertzel calls them their brothers, brothers and sisters. They tried

789
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,559
the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Palestine at the time, but

790
00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:02,880
were turned and down. Although they were told the Jews

791
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,360
could settle throughout other parts of the Ottoman Empire and

792
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,559
become Turkish citizens. They then turned to Britain, which was

793
00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:16,000
also initially less ENTHUSIASTICO Famous English Middle East experts such

794
00:59:16,039 --> 00:59:19,360
as Gertrude Bell pointed out that Palestine was Arab and

795
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,480
that Jerusalem was sacred to all three major monotheistic faiths.

796
00:59:24,119 --> 00:59:27,840
Judaism is not been a monotheistic faith in a very

797
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:33,199
long time. Sorry, go go listen to my reading of

798
00:59:35,719 --> 00:59:40,199
Israel Shahak's Jewish History Jewish religion. He explains, it's not

799
00:59:40,239 --> 00:59:44,440
a monotheistic If anything, they're closer to pagan worship now

800
00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:51,320
than anything else. Polytheistic pagan worship. Future British Foreign Minister

801
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:56,079
Lord George Korzon similarly stated that Palestine was already inhabited

802
00:59:56,119 --> 00:59:58,400
by half a million Arabs who would not be content

803
00:59:58,719 --> 01:00:02,400
either to be experts created for Jewish immigrants or to

804
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:06,760
act merely as huwers of wood and drawers of drawers

805
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,400
of water for the latter. However, once the British were

806
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,159
emboiled in World War One, and particularly during nineteen sixteen,

807
01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:16,480
a disastrous year for the Allies on which there were

808
01:00:16,519 --> 01:00:21,239
sixty thousand British casualties and one day alone, Zionists were

809
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,639
able to play a winning card. I have to take

810
01:00:23,679 --> 01:00:33,519
a sip of coffee on that number. Imagine losing a

811
01:00:33,559 --> 01:00:39,320
baseball stadium worth of your soldiers men the next generation

812
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:47,880
in one day. While they previously had appealed to religious

813
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,199
or idealistic arguments, now Zionist leaders could add a particularly

814
01:00:51,679 --> 01:00:55,199
powerful motivator, telling the British government that Zionists in the

815
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,360
US would push America to enter the war on the

816
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,840
side of the British if the British promised to support

817
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:07,039
Jewish home in Palestine afterward. So what's he saying, wealthy

818
01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:14,000
and powerful Jews? Zionists, Jews. They're all Jews, most of

819
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,519
them in ninety nine percent would help get the United

820
01:01:18,559 --> 01:01:25,079
States into a war, a war where sixty thousand British

821
01:01:25,159 --> 01:01:27,599
boys died in one day and British men died in

822
01:01:27,639 --> 01:01:31,760
one day. If they could just have this shitty piece

823
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,440
of land that they don't even know what to do with,

824
01:01:33,559 --> 01:01:36,440
they couldn't till they couldn't do anything with they if

825
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,559
they tried, it's already been proven in Russia. And not farmers,

826
01:01:39,559 --> 01:01:48,199
they're not, they're they just want this land. In nineteen seventeen,

827
01:01:48,199 --> 01:01:51,320
British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour issued a letter to Zionist

828
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,880
leader Lord Rothschild. You can see it on the Just

829
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:01,280
pull up Balfour Declaration on Google you'll actually see the letter.

830
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:06,400
Noticed about four declaration. This letter promised that Britain would

831
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:10,280
view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national

832
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:14,199
home for the Jewish people, and use their best endeavors

833
01:02:14,239 --> 01:02:20,840
to facilitate the achievement of this object. The letter then

834
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,679
qualified this somewhat by stating that it should be clearly

835
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,679
understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the

836
01:02:27,719 --> 01:02:32,880
civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine.

837
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,519
Once again, land without a people for a people, without

838
01:02:36,519 --> 01:02:39,719
a land is fucking bullshit, and anyone who says it

839
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,360
is a fucking liar, and they're to be dismissed out

840
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:49,480
of hand and shunned. At this point, who at the

841
01:02:49,519 --> 01:02:53,960
point we're at in this country, who cares if they're brainwashed?

842
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,559
Brainwashed people needs to be shunned until they come to

843
01:02:58,599 --> 01:03:04,000
their fucking senses. I've said this before, and I mean,

844
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,960
I know it's trivial because oh it's Twitter. I block

845
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,960
people on Twitter. And if you come back to me

846
01:03:10,039 --> 01:03:12,679
a year later, six months later and go, yeah, you

847
01:03:12,679 --> 01:03:15,840
were right, I'm sorry. I'll unblock you now we can,

848
01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:18,880
but I'm not going to even associate with you on

849
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,760
fucking social media. You think I want to associate associate

850
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,199
with you in real life. I don't want you anywhere

851
01:03:24,239 --> 01:03:27,320
near me. I don't want you in the polity. I

852
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,079
don't want you being a part of the policy. I

853
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:35,599
don't consider you. So, the non Jewish communities were ninety

854
01:03:35,679 --> 01:03:40,159
two percent of Palestine's population at that time, vigorous Zionist

855
01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:44,000
immigration efforts having slightly expanded the percentage of Jews living

856
01:03:44,039 --> 01:03:48,559
in Palestine by then. Let's check out the footnote on

857
01:03:48,599 --> 01:03:54,920
that that's from a book by McCarthy, Population of Palestine,

858
01:03:55,079 --> 01:04:02,119
page twenty six. The letter, while officially signed by British

859
01:04:02,119 --> 01:04:05,519
Foreign Minister Lord Balfour, had been in process for two

860
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,480
years and had got through a number of edits of

861
01:04:08,559 --> 01:04:13,719
British and American zionists and British officials. So first of all,

862
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:18,000
this letter is three paragraphs, if I remember correctly, I'm

863
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,400
trying to picture it in my mind. I've looked at

864
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:24,920
it a millions times, three paragraphs, two years of edits and

865
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:32,400
British an American as zionists and British officials had edited it.

866
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:38,440
How important is this letter? I mean literally, how how

867
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,840
important is this letter to a group of people that

868
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,800
they're willing to send American boys, American men, and some

869
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,280
women you know who died going over there as nervous

870
01:04:48,760 --> 01:05:01,400
as to die fire in the trenches of Europe. Yeah,

871
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,079
after October seventh, that had so many people contact me

872
01:05:04,119 --> 01:05:06,400
and go, you know, I stopped listening because you know,

873
01:05:06,199 --> 01:05:09,280
you talked about this certain group of people, and it's

874
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:15,079
unseemly if you want to understand our history, if you

875
01:05:15,119 --> 01:05:17,760
want to understand where we're at right now, and you're

876
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:24,559
not talking about them, you're just dishonest. Don't ever, ever,

877
01:05:24,599 --> 01:05:27,519
if you're listening to this, don't ever send me a

878
01:05:27,639 --> 01:05:31,639
video of look at yourribezment off, your Abezmanov told us,

879
01:05:31,639 --> 01:05:41,000
What did your Abzmenov mention these people? No, I don't

880
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,320
want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.

881
01:05:44,519 --> 01:05:47,280
You cannot talk about American history. You cannot talk about

882
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,559
the history of the twentieth century. You can't even talk

883
01:05:49,559 --> 01:05:53,280
about the history of the last twelve hundred years unless

884
01:05:53,360 --> 01:06:03,519
you understand. Unless you've studied these people European history, American history,

885
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,639
you can't. I'm sorry if you're leaving this, if you're

886
01:06:07,719 --> 01:06:11,639
leaving them out of the conversation, you're either hiding something

887
01:06:11,719 --> 01:06:20,039
or you're grossly ignorant. As Zionist leader Nahum Sokkolo later wrote,

888
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:24,280
every idea born in London was tested by the Zionist

889
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:29,280
organization in America, and every suggestion in America received the

890
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:35,239
most careful attention in London, that is from Jeffreys Palestine.

891
01:06:35,239 --> 01:06:42,679
The Reality Page one seventy two. Sokkolo writes that British

892
01:06:42,719 --> 01:06:46,800
Zionists were helped above all by American Zionists. Between London,

893
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,559
New York and Washington. There was constant communication, either by

894
01:06:50,599 --> 01:06:53,800
telegraph or by personal visit, and as a result there

895
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:59,519
was perfect unity among the Zionists of both hemispheres. Personal visit.

896
01:07:00,199 --> 01:07:09,440
Do you understand how difficult travel was back then? Personal

897
01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:18,519
visit between Zionists in London, New York and Washington. Sucklow

898
01:07:18,599 --> 01:07:25,519
particularly praised quote the benefit, the benefit, the beneficent, the beneficent,

899
01:07:26,039 --> 01:07:31,639
personal influence of the Honorable Lewis D. Brandeis just judge

900
01:07:31,679 --> 01:07:37,159
of the Supreme Court. We talked about Brandeis in the

901
01:07:37,199 --> 01:07:45,079
last episode, and Frankfurter, there's only one word that the infiltrator, infiltrator.

902
01:07:46,079 --> 01:07:53,039
That's it. Infiltrator. He was not there to do He

903
01:07:53,199 --> 01:07:57,400
was not there to help to interpret the law, you know,

904
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,559
the Constitution and the law of the land. He was

905
01:08:00,679 --> 01:08:05,079
there to help a diaspora people in the United States

906
01:08:05,199 --> 01:08:09,960
and in other countries take land, take land from people

907
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,840
who were already who were already there. I don't care

908
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,800
if the Ottoman I don't care if the Ottoman Empire

909
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,319
controlled it. I don't care if British, if it was

910
01:08:18,359 --> 01:08:21,640
British mandate, I don't give a fuck. There were people

911
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,760
there and they said, oh, we're just going to go

912
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:30,000
take it. And historically, who gives a fuck that happened

913
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,920
all the time. I mean it literally, I mean this

914
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,239
is the history of warfare, This is the history of

915
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,199
We're going to take this land for ourselves. We're going

916
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:41,720
to take that land for ourselves. But they, as chapters

917
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:45,680
one and two show, formed a conspiracy in our country,

918
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:51,399
using our using our resources, and sending our men off

919
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,560
to die in order to get this land. If you

920
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,439
want it, put an army together. I'm sure you have

921
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:04,079
enough money to do it. Arm yourselves, go there and

922
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:06,479
take the land. That's what you ended up doing anyway,

923
01:09:07,159 --> 01:09:09,720
But you ended up getting us into a into two

924
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:19,920
fucking world wars in order to do this. The final

925
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,920
version of the declaration was actually written by Leopold Amory,

926
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,000
a British official who, it came out later, was a

927
01:09:26,039 --> 01:09:30,159
secret and fervent Zionist, probably one of the people in

928
01:09:30,199 --> 01:09:35,159
Brandeis and Frankfurt are a secret society. It appears that

929
01:09:35,239 --> 01:09:38,000
the idea for such a declaration had originally been promoted

930
01:09:38,039 --> 01:09:45,239
by parisham founder Horas Callan. Shocking author Peter Gross reports

931
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:48,039
quote the idea had come to the British from an

932
01:09:48,079 --> 01:09:52,279
unlikely source. In nineteen fifteen, long before the United States

933
01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:55,279
was involved in the war, the fertile brain of Horace

934
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:59,319
Callen had come up with the idea of an Allied

935
01:09:59,359 --> 01:10:02,680
statement of acording in whatever veiled way was deemed necessary,

936
01:10:03,239 --> 01:10:06,560
Jewish national rights in Palestine. They had come up with

937
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:12,039
the idea of an Allied statement supporting, in whatever veiled

938
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:23,239
way was deemed necessary Jewish national rights in Palestine. What

939
01:10:23,399 --> 01:10:29,319
was the number from earlier? Ninety two percent eight percent

940
01:10:29,319 --> 01:10:38,720
were Jewish and they used us basically infiltrated our system

941
01:10:39,119 --> 01:10:46,079
at the highest levels. Gross rights that Callen suggested the

942
01:10:46,119 --> 01:10:48,840
idea to a well connected British friend who had who

943
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,800
would pass the idea along. According to Callen, such a

944
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:56,760
statement would give a natural outlet for the spontaneous pro English, French,

945
01:10:57,079 --> 01:11:01,479
and Italian sympathies of the Jewish mass is. Callen told

946
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,880
his friend that this would help break down America's neutrality,

947
01:11:05,119 --> 01:11:08,119
which Callen knew was the aim of British. British diplomacy

948
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,119
desperate to bring the US into the war on its side.

949
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,960
Gross writes Callen's idea lit a spark of interest in Whitehall.

950
01:11:19,199 --> 01:11:25,359
Get American, get us. This piece of dirt, and we'll

951
01:11:25,359 --> 01:11:29,760
get American boys and men to go die. What does

952
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:34,079
Stormy say in our episode? Basically, the graduating class of

953
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:48,399
Yale gone gone, the best white men of a generation gone.

954
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,319
While the Balfour declaration was less was a lesson, ringing

955
01:11:52,399 --> 01:11:55,880
endorsement of Zionism. Zion Is considered it a major breakthrough

956
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,199
because it cracked open a door that they would later

957
01:11:58,239 --> 01:12:01,520
force wider and wider open. In fact, many credit this

958
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,840
as a key factor in the creation of Israel. You

959
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:10,520
gave him an inch, you gave them an inch. These

960
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,640
Balfour World War One negotiations are referred to in various documents.

961
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:18,720
Samuel Landman, secretary of the World Zionist Organization, described them

962
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,399
in detail in a nineteen thirty six article in World Jewry.

963
01:12:23,159 --> 01:12:26,039
When I used that word, just remember there was a

964
01:12:26,119 --> 01:12:32,880
magazine called World Jewry in nineteen thirty six. He explained

965
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,800
that a secret gentleman's agreement had been made in nineteen

966
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:40,920
sixteen between the British government and Zionist leaders after an

967
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:45,119
under quoting, after an understanding had been arrived at between

968
01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:49,199
Sir Mark Sykes and Zionis Weismann and Sokolow, It was

969
01:12:49,279 --> 01:12:52,680
resolved to send a secret message to Justice Brandeis that

970
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,720
the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain Palestine

971
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,039
in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support in

972
01:12:59,079 --> 01:13:02,199
the US for the Allied cause, so as to bring

973
01:13:02,359 --> 01:13:06,720
about a radical pro Allied tendency in the United States.

974
01:13:07,279 --> 01:13:13,880
In nineteen sixteen, they contacted Zionis in England contacted a

975
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:23,680
Supreme Court justice in the United States secretly saying that

976
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:28,119
the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain gain Palestine.

977
01:13:28,319 --> 01:13:33,079
They would basically give them Palestine or start advocating that

978
01:13:33,159 --> 01:13:36,520
it was actually belonged to them. It belonged to the

979
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:41,600
Jews in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support

980
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,560
in the USA for the Allied cause, so as to

981
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,399
bring about a radical pro Allied tendency in the United

982
01:13:47,399 --> 01:13:50,600
States and eventually get what one hundred and seventy seven

983
01:13:50,680 --> 01:14:05,720
thousand British men killed any more coffee Espresso about coffee

984
01:14:06,199 --> 01:14:08,680
Landmann wrote that once the British had agreed to help

985
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:12,720
the Zionists, this information was communicated to the press, which

986
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,520
he reported, rapidly began to favor the US joining the

987
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:23,880
war on the side of Britain. Imagine that I think

988
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:28,279
she I think she has some good information here about

989
01:14:28,319 --> 01:14:31,159
the press in the United States, but that'll be later.

990
01:14:34,279 --> 01:14:36,840
Landman claimed that Zionists had fulfilled their side of the

991
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,640
contract and that it was Jewish help that brought Usa

992
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,439
into the war on the side of the Allies, thus

993
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:53,640
causing the defeat of Germany. I don't even know how

994
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,560
to comment on them. He went on to state that

995
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,000
this had rankled in Germany ever since contributed in no

996
01:15:01,119 --> 01:15:05,840
small measure to the prominence which anti Semitism occupies in

997
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:14,479
the Nazi program. Wait, I'm sorry. I thought anti Leo Pinsker, Zionist,

998
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:19,520
said anti Semitism was hereditary. I thought you're just I

999
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:23,520
thought anti Semitism was just being jealous of how successful

1000
01:15:24,079 --> 01:15:29,520
Jews are. But Landman went on to state that this

1001
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:33,680
had rankled in Germany ever since and contributed in no

1002
01:15:34,199 --> 01:15:39,399
small measure to the prominence which anti Semitism occupies in

1003
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:52,800
the Nazi program. Wow. Wow, I thought my understanding of

1004
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:57,720
the JQ was some kind of mental defect. I didn't

1005
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,000
know it possibly had anything to do with the fact

1006
01:16:01,079 --> 01:16:08,479
that their actions caused Their actions caused destruction, and I

1007
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:14,239
recognize that gee, I guess, I guess, mister Landman just

1008
01:16:14,319 --> 01:16:21,720
let me off the hook. Weird. British Colonial Secretary Lord

1009
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:26,560
Cavendish also wrote about this agreement and its result in

1010
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,840
a nineteen twenty three memorandum to the British Cabinet, stating

1011
01:16:30,199 --> 01:16:32,800
the object of the Balfour Declaration was to enlist the

1012
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,279
sympathies on the Allied side of influential Jews and Jewish

1013
01:16:36,399 --> 01:16:40,039
organizations all over the world, and it is arguable that

1014
01:16:40,079 --> 01:16:43,800
the negotiations with the Zionists did in fact have considerable

1015
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,279
effect in advancing the date to which the United States

1016
01:16:46,359 --> 01:16:51,840
government intervened in the war. No shit really. Former British

1017
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:55,079
Prime Minister Lloyd George similarly referred to the deal, telling

1018
01:16:55,079 --> 01:16:59,960
of British Commission in nineteen thirty five, quote, Zionists lead

1019
01:17:00,279 --> 01:17:03,319
gave us a definite promise that if the Allies committed

1020
01:17:03,319 --> 01:17:06,960
themselves to giving facilities for the establishment of a national

1021
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,680
home for the Jews in Palestine, they would do their

1022
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,359
best to rally Jewish sentiment and support throughout the world

1023
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:22,319
to the Allied cause. They kept their word end quote.

1024
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:30,279
The only conclusion you can take from this is I

1025
01:17:30,319 --> 01:17:32,520
think it would be you'd be pushing a little too

1026
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,399
far to say all. But a big part of the

1027
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:42,720
reason why American white men went and died fighting European

1028
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:50,600
white men their brothers in the trenches in Europe was

1029
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:59,279
because Jewish Zionists wanted a homeland and they were willing

1030
01:17:59,399 --> 01:18:08,439
to sackrifice our relatives to do it. Brandeis University professor

1031
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:12,600
and author Frank E Manuel reported that Lloyd George had

1032
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:16,600
testified in nineteen thirty seven quote that stimulating the war

1033
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,119
effort of American Jews was one of the major motives

1034
01:18:19,199 --> 01:18:23,279
during a harrowing period in the European War, actuated members

1035
01:18:23,319 --> 01:18:26,479
of the Cabinet in finally casting their votes for the declaration.

1036
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,399
American career Foreign Service officer Evan M. Wilson, who had

1037
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:37,920
served as Minister Consul General in Jerusalem, also described this

1038
01:18:38,039 --> 01:18:41,279
arrangement in his book Decision on Palestine. He wrote that

1039
01:18:41,319 --> 01:18:45,439
the Balfour Declaration quote was given to the Jews largely

1040
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,079
for the purpose of enlisting Jewish support in the war

1041
01:18:48,319 --> 01:18:51,680
and of forestalling a similar promise by the Central Powers.

1042
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:57,159
Central powers being the Allied Powers enemy enemies in World

1043
01:18:57,159 --> 01:19:03,079
War One. Social biographer of Lloyd George of Lloyd George.

1044
01:19:03,279 --> 01:19:07,079
Author Malcolm Thompson stated that the determining factor in the

1045
01:19:07,119 --> 01:19:11,279
decision to issue that Balfour Declaration was the quote scheme

1046
01:19:11,359 --> 01:19:14,520
for engaging by some such concession the support of American

1047
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,079
Zionists for the Allied cause in the First World War

1048
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:22,760
end quote. Similarly, Zionist historian Naomi Cohen calls to bowfour

1049
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:28,520
Declaration a quote wartime measure and writes its immediate object

1050
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,840
was to capture Jewish sympathy, especially in the United States,

1051
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,520
for the Allies and to shure up English strategic interests

1052
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:38,840
in the Near East end quote. The declaration was pushed,

1053
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,479
she writes, quote by leading Zionists in England and by Brandeis,

1054
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:51,680
who intervened with President Wilson. End quote a Supreme Court justice,

1055
01:19:52,319 --> 01:19:56,520
somebody who because of our civic religion is lifted up

1056
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:04,239
to priest status in this country, had secret societies, secret meetings,

1057
01:20:05,079 --> 01:20:12,199
and had a hidden agenda that was Zionist, and it

1058
01:20:12,239 --> 01:20:17,199
was to get a homeland by whatever means necessary. And

1059
01:20:17,279 --> 01:20:20,199
he had the ear of President Wilson and could intervene

1060
01:20:20,199 --> 01:20:29,760
with him. Obviously one hundred and seventy seven thousand, and

1061
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:38,600
which leads to World War two seventy million. Finally, David

1062
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,520
Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of England, wrote in

1063
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,159
nineteen thirty nine, to a certain extent, America had played

1064
01:20:45,199 --> 01:20:47,960
a decisive role in the First World War, and American

1065
01:20:48,079 --> 01:20:54,199
Jewry had a considerable part, knowingly or not, in the

1066
01:20:54,239 --> 01:20:58,399
achievement of the Balfour Declaration. This is something we talked about.

1067
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,560
We talked about when I was reading Israel Shahak's Jewish History,

1068
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:09,439
Jewish Religion. How the rabbis are these polytheistic sex magic

1069
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:14,840
lunatics who even if the people who are sitting in

1070
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,079
their in their congregation, I don't know what they call it,

1071
01:21:17,119 --> 01:21:25,479
an example, don't don't know what they're doing is they're

1072
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:30,079
they the rabbis believe they're harnessing the prayers that are

1073
01:21:30,119 --> 01:21:33,000
going up of these Jews, even if they don't understand

1074
01:21:33,079 --> 01:21:38,159
that they're they're praying to this polytheistic sex magic male

1075
01:21:38,279 --> 01:21:41,920
female deity with the devil involved in all this stuff.

1076
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,319
And the same thing right here, American Jewry had a

1077
01:21:46,359 --> 01:21:49,920
considerable part, knowingly or not, in the achievement of the

1078
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:54,279
Balfour Declaration, even if they didn't want it. Even if

1079
01:21:54,319 --> 01:21:57,000
they didn't care about, you know, even if they wanted

1080
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,760
to be in America and they didn't want to quote

1081
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:04,960
unquote homeland. The influence of Brandeis and other Zionists in

1082
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,199
the US has enabled Zionists to form an alliance with Britain,

1083
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,600
one of the world's great powers, a remarkable achievement for

1084
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,760
a nonstate group and a measure of Zionists, by then

1085
01:22:15,039 --> 01:22:21,239
immense power. As historian Kolski states, the Zionist movement was

1086
01:22:21,279 --> 01:22:26,800
now an important force in international politics, something that Henry

1087
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:33,600
Ford understood and started writing about, you know, in his newspaper,

1088
01:22:35,079 --> 01:22:38,439
and then he has to book The International jew which

1089
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,960
is a lot of those articles, and you know, writing

1090
01:22:42,119 --> 01:22:49,720
was just gathered together. People saw this back then and

1091
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:57,520
started talking about it, and that's when they needed to

1092
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:03,479
be destroyed. American Zionists may also have played a role

1093
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:08,199
in preventing an early piece with the Ottoman Empire. In

1094
01:23:08,239 --> 01:23:12,880
May nineteen seventeen, American Secretary of State Robert Lansing received

1095
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,479
a report that the Ottomans were extremely weary of the

1096
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,680
war and that it might be possible to induce them

1097
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:21,000
to break with Germany and make a separate peace with Britain.

1098
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:27,079
Such a piece would have helped in Britain's effort to

1099
01:23:27,159 --> 01:23:31,399
win the war. Victory was still far from insured, but

1100
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:35,680
it would have prevented Britain from acquiring Palestine and enabling

1101
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:47,039
a Jewish state. So potential war piece had to be

1102
01:23:47,399 --> 01:23:53,239
headed off in order that they get this shitty piece

1103
01:23:53,279 --> 01:24:00,359
of land. The State Department considered a separate Him in

1104
01:24:00,399 --> 01:24:03,079
peace a long shot, but decided to send an emissary

1105
01:24:03,119 --> 01:24:07,039
to pursue the possibility. Felix Frankforter became part of the

1106
01:24:07,159 --> 01:24:14,880
delegation and ultimately persuaded the delegations leader, former Ambassador Henry J. Morgenthau,

1107
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:23,520
to abandon the effort. This is what you call sabotage.

1108
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:33,239
This is what you call treason. This is treason. And

1109
01:24:33,279 --> 01:24:35,840
if you know that, if you recognize the name Morgenthau, yeah,

1110
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,079
maybe we'll see if we get to that at all.

1111
01:24:41,399 --> 01:24:52,239
It's treason. It's treason. This is the literal definition. US

1112
01:24:52,279 --> 01:24:55,319
State Department officials considered that Zionis had worked to scuttle

1113
01:24:55,319 --> 01:24:58,600
this potentially peace making mission and were unhappy about it.

1114
01:24:59,039 --> 01:25:03,199
Zionis often construed such displeasure at their actions as evidence

1115
01:25:03,279 --> 01:25:13,840
of American diplomats anti Semitism. I hope you're getting it.

1116
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:16,840
If you haven't gotten it by now, I hope you're

1117
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:27,000
getting there, because this, I hope is as infuriating to

1118
01:25:27,039 --> 01:25:30,680
you as it is to me. Because the more you learn,

1119
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:42,000
the more you realize, what would even be the point

1120
01:25:42,159 --> 01:25:46,399
of reading this and looking at the history of it

1121
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:54,920
if it wasn't something that we were still dealing with today,

1122
01:25:54,640 --> 01:26:02,079
every one of the terror wars. It's for Israel. Everyone,

1123
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,319
all right, I'll be back in a couple of days

1124
01:26:10,319 --> 01:26:14,439
and we'll move on to chapter five. Paris Peace Conference

1125
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:21,119
nineteen nineteen Zionist defeat calls for self determination. See you

1126
01:26:21,159 --> 01:26:24,439
in a few days. Have a good weekend, Take care. Bye.

1127
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:30,800
Welcome back to part four of my reading of Against

1128
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:37,279
Our Better Judgment? What is the Hidden Story of how

1129
01:26:37,319 --> 01:26:42,399
the US was used to create Israel? Sorry, I don't

1130
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:48,079
not really good at memorizing the subtitles on books. But yeah,

1131
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:58,079
So last time we talked about the the about four Declaration,

1132
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,359
and today there's probably going to be three chapters going

1133
01:27:02,399 --> 01:27:05,520
to run through and probably have to do a couple

1134
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:12,720
of explain away a couple things she has. She's the

1135
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,359
opinion of a on a couple historic points that have

1136
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,479
been pretty much debunked, but some people can't let go

1137
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:22,840
of it. But still the information's good. So let's keep

1138
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,840
going here, all right, picking up where we left off

1139
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:30,600
last time. This is chapter five, Paris Peace Conference, nineteen

1140
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:35,840
nineteen Zionist defeat calls for self determination. After the war,

1141
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,159
the victor has met in a peace conference and agreed

1142
01:27:38,199 --> 01:27:41,640
to a set of peace accords that addressed, among many issues,

1143
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:45,880
the fate of the Ottoman Empire's Middle East territories. The

1144
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:50,079
Allies stripped the defeated Empire of its Middle Eastern holdings

1145
01:27:50,079 --> 01:27:53,079
and divided them between Britain and France, which were to

1146
01:27:53,119 --> 01:27:56,640
hold them under a mandate system until the populations were

1147
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:01,560
ready for self government. Britain got the mandate over Palestine,

1148
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:05,079
which if you listen to the last episode you know why.

1149
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,920
And the reason why ready for self government is in

1150
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,760
quotes here is because they're never going to That wasn't

1151
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:20,720
going to happen. Zionists, including Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, world Zionis

1152
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,199
Organization officials, and an American delegation went to the peace

1153
01:28:24,239 --> 01:28:27,840
conference to lobby for a Jewish home in Palestine and

1154
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,880
to push for Balfour wording to be incorporated into the

1155
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:34,600
peace accords. The official US delegations of the peace conference

1156
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:38,760
also contained a number of highly placed Zionists. If you

1157
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,119
go back to the parishom, which is the secret society

1158
01:28:42,119 --> 01:28:46,880
of Zionists that you know brandeis and I'm trying to

1159
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,600
remember it was a callan yeah, I mean, these are

1160
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:53,800
highly influential people, especially Brandised being a sitting Supreme Court justice,

1161
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:59,039
who have a secret society of people who have basically

1162
01:28:59,079 --> 01:29:02,279
taken a pledge to Zionism that they above their family,

1163
01:29:02,319 --> 01:29:06,199
above their country, that the Zionists they would get this homeland.

1164
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:13,000
So distinguished American Christians posted in the Middle East who

1165
01:29:13,119 --> 01:29:18,399
consistently supported Arab self determination went to Paris to oppose Zionists.

1166
01:29:19,079 --> 01:29:22,119
Numerous prominent Christian leaders in the US, including two of

1167
01:29:22,119 --> 01:29:25,600
the most celebrated pastors of the day, Harry Emerson Foustik

1168
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:30,600
and Henry Sloane Coffin, also opposed Zionism. However, as a

1169
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:35,359
pro Israel author notes, they were simply out gunned by Zionists.

1170
01:29:36,399 --> 01:29:38,760
The most influential American in the Middle East at the time,

1171
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:43,840
doctor Howard Bliss, president of Beirut, Syrian Protestant College later

1172
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:47,119
to become the American University of Beirut, traveled to Paris

1173
01:29:47,159 --> 01:29:49,840
to urge forming a commission to determine what the people

1174
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,359
the Middle East wanted for themselves, a suggestion that was

1175
01:29:53,359 --> 01:29:56,560
embraced by the US diplomatic staff in Paris. I mean,

1176
01:29:56,720 --> 01:30:01,680
imagine that you self determination is kind of what this

1177
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:07,199
country was founded upon. And then yeah, in step, in

1178
01:30:07,279 --> 01:30:13,000
step this other group of people who self determination for them,

1179
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:20,159
not for anyone else, to Alam for every take Alan

1180
01:30:20,359 --> 01:30:25,640
for everyone else. Princeton Professor Philip Brown, in Cairo for

1181
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:29,720
the y m c A supplied requested reports to the

1182
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:33,880
US State Department on what Zionism's impact would be on Palestine.

1183
01:30:34,079 --> 01:30:36,600
He stated that it would be disastrous for both Arabs

1184
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,039
and Jews, and went to Paris the lobby against it.

1185
01:30:40,119 --> 01:30:43,960
William Westerman, director of the State Department's Western Asian Division,

1186
01:30:44,399 --> 01:30:48,760
which covered the region, similarly similarly opposed to the Zionist position.

1187
01:30:49,239 --> 01:30:52,239
He wrote that it impinges upon the rights and desires

1188
01:30:52,239 --> 01:30:56,800
of most of the Arab population of Palestine. Once again,

1189
01:30:57,159 --> 01:30:59,439
keep bringing it up land without a people for a

1190
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:05,520
people with out of land. But there were people there, obviously,

1191
01:31:06,119 --> 01:31:09,279
This is a topic of conversation. How anybody believes that

1192
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:12,000
is just. It really goes to show you that one

1193
01:31:12,079 --> 01:31:15,000
people are just out and out liars, and two people

1194
01:31:15,079 --> 01:31:18,640
just don't know history because people are out in out liars.

1195
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,800
Westerman and other US diplomats felt that the Arab position

1196
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,359
was much more in line with Wilson's principles of self

1197
01:31:25,399 --> 01:31:30,319
determination and circulated Arab material. President Wilson decided to send

1198
01:31:30,319 --> 01:31:33,399
the Commission of Palestine to investigate the situation in person.

1199
01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:36,840
After spending two months in the area interviewing all sections

1200
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:40,680
of the population, the commission, known as the King Crane Commission,

1201
01:31:41,159 --> 01:31:45,000
recommended against the Zionist position of unlimited immigration of Jews

1202
01:31:45,039 --> 01:31:50,600
to make Palestine a distinctly Jewish state. So that is

1203
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:55,399
exactly there they're saying it. What is the point of

1204
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:59,880
going there to make it a distinctly Jewish state? Is

1205
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:05,600
quoted from a book by Sami Hidawi, Bitter Harvest, Palestestine

1206
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:09,119
between nineteen fourteen and nineteen seventy nine, a book written

1207
01:32:09,159 --> 01:32:11,920
in nineteen seventy nine. I think Bitter Harvest was also

1208
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:15,119
the book written about Ian Smith and Rhodesia. If I'm

1209
01:32:15,119 --> 01:32:20,239
not mistaken, The commissioners stated that the creation of a

1210
01:32:20,319 --> 01:32:23,720
Jewish state in Palestine could be accomplished only with the

1211
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:27,039
gravest trespass upon the civil and religious rights of existing

1212
01:32:27,119 --> 01:32:30,520
non Jewish communities in Palestine, pointing out that to subject

1213
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:34,199
to Palestinians to steady financial and social pressure to surrender

1214
01:32:34,239 --> 01:32:36,840
the land would be a gross violation of the principle

1215
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:42,079
of self determination and of the people's rights. But when

1216
01:32:42,119 --> 01:32:50,880
it comes, who cares, they want what they want. They

1217
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,760
went on to point out that the well being and

1218
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,960
development of the people in the region formed a sacred trust,

1219
01:32:56,199 --> 01:32:59,239
that the people should become completely free, and that the

1220
01:32:59,319 --> 01:33:02,960
national governments should derive their authority from the initiative and

1221
01:33:03,039 --> 01:33:09,119
free choice of the native populations. The report stated that

1222
01:33:09,199 --> 01:33:12,039
meetings with Jewish representatives made it clear that the Zionists

1223
01:33:12,039 --> 01:33:15,279
look forward to a practically complete dispossession of the present

1224
01:33:15,399 --> 01:33:19,319
non Jewish inhabitants of Palestine. Concluded that armed force would

1225
01:33:19,319 --> 01:33:23,399
be required to accomplish this and urge the Peace Conference

1226
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:27,600
to dismiss the Zionists proposals. The commission recommended that the

1227
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:31,960
project for making Palestine distinctly a Jewish commonwealth should be

1228
01:33:32,079 --> 01:33:35,880
given up. They knew what was going to happen. You

1229
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,960
don't go there, you don't make plans to go there

1230
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,039
with guns and to force I mean unless there are

1231
01:33:42,119 --> 01:33:44,439
people there in the first place. I mean, I'm going

1232
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:48,520
to make this argument over and over again because I'm

1233
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:50,800
land without a people for people without a land. You

1234
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,199
don't know how much it offends me that like that

1235
01:33:53,319 --> 01:34:00,239
kind of just so easily debunked propaganda is you know, like,

1236
01:34:00,359 --> 01:34:04,039
oh well the Ottoman Empire, Ottoman Empire controlled that. Then Britain,

1237
01:34:04,199 --> 01:34:11,439
so what so I don't care. Zionist threw Brandeis dominated

1238
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:15,039
the situation, however, and the report was suppressed until after

1239
01:34:15,079 --> 01:34:19,960
the peace Accords were enacted. As a pro Israel historian noted, quote,

1240
01:34:20,199 --> 01:34:22,800
with the burial of the King Crane Report, a major

1241
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:28,039
obstacle in the Zionist path disappeared. The US delegation was

1242
01:34:28,039 --> 01:34:33,000
forced to follow Zionist directives. Let's see who we have here,

1243
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:39,760
that is from That's from Arofsky's book cited in Mulhall America.

1244
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:45,000
Yeah all right, all right, you mentioned that book. Ultimately,

1245
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,640
the mandate of Palestine given a Britain supported the Zionist

1246
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:51,399
project and included the Balfour language. According to the mandate,

1247
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:54,159
Britain would be responsible for putting into effect the Balfour

1248
01:34:54,239 --> 01:34:57,479
Declaration in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a

1249
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:00,920
national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood

1250
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:04,000
that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil

1251
01:35:04,039 --> 01:35:10,319
and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine.

1252
01:35:11,079 --> 01:35:14,319
So basically, in invading armies getting ready to go in,

1253
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:23,840
and people expect that possibly the people who are already there,

1254
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:26,840
they're just going to lie down and take it. They're

1255
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:33,359
not Americans. Chapter six forging an in gathering of all Jews.

1256
01:35:34,279 --> 01:35:36,960
The idea behind Zionism was create a state where Jews

1257
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:42,359
worldwide could escape anti Semitism. Where's that from? That is

1258
01:35:42,399 --> 01:35:50,079
from Theodore Hertzel the Jewish State Dover Publications. Yeah, so

1259
01:35:50,159 --> 01:35:54,159
the father, basically the father of political Zionism. That's who

1260
01:35:54,159 --> 01:35:59,079
they're quoting there, is to escape anti Semitism. Of course,

1261
01:35:59,159 --> 01:36:02,800
the question always doesn't always come up because you're not

1262
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:05,760
allowed to ask it, But I will. What's the main

1263
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:11,720
cause of anti Semitism? If you've followed my work, then

1264
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,479
you know that I've quoted over and over again Jewish

1265
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:19,800
philosophers who say Pinsker says an anti Semitism is hereditary.

1266
01:36:21,359 --> 01:36:28,279
Most commonly you'll hear people are jealous of their success. Yeah,

1267
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,000
things like that. But you're not allowed you know, when

1268
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:32,880
you ask those questions, and when you ask that question,

1269
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,239
what's the main cause of what's been the main cause

1270
01:36:35,279 --> 01:36:41,680
of anti Semitism for the last twelve hundred years in Europe?

1271
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:49,439
How do countries who didn't even exist parallel have the

1272
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:58,199
same issue with the same people a thousand years apart. Yeah,

1273
01:36:58,239 --> 01:37:04,920
it's an injury saying it's if you're completely dishonest or

1274
01:37:05,319 --> 01:37:11,319
you're completely brainwashed. Penskere could actually believe that that it

1275
01:37:11,359 --> 01:37:16,399
was hereditary. Combined with this was the belief that all

1276
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:19,560
Jews would and should come to the Jewish State in

1277
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:23,560
a massive in gathering of exiles. However, when it turned

1278
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,520
out that not enough Jews were coming of their own volition,

1279
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,439
a variety of methods were used to increase the immigration.

1280
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:35,680
People didn't want to go. I mean, a lot of

1281
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:40,319
these people have been living in German, you know, countries

1282
01:37:40,359 --> 01:37:45,279
like Germany for you know, a couple centuries you had

1283
01:37:45,319 --> 01:37:51,640
people who had escaped the stettles of Russia and got

1284
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:53,880
an education and gone I mean of course, I mean,

1285
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,920
these are liberals, and we've seen in the two Hundred

1286
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:01,960
Years Together series exactly what they believe. But of course

1287
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,640
they might not want to go to some place where

1288
01:38:05,119 --> 01:38:06,880
they don't even feel like they have a tie to.

1289
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:14,520
So let me go back to the first sentence, because

1290
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,359
I completely missed this, and I know some of you

1291
01:38:16,399 --> 01:38:20,079
are probably screaming at me. The idea behind Zionism was

1292
01:38:20,079 --> 01:38:23,000
to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti Semitism.

1293
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,159
What about the people who say that God gave him

1294
01:38:28,199 --> 01:38:35,119
that land forever? If the father of political Zionism, Theodore Hertzel,

1295
01:38:36,279 --> 01:38:39,920
says that Zionism was the create a state where Jews

1296
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:43,720
worldwide could escape anti Semitism, what does the Bible have

1297
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:51,520
to do with that. Zionist leader David Ben Gurion once

1298
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:55,319
told the gathering of Jewish Americans, quote, Zionism consists of

1299
01:38:55,359 --> 01:38:59,199
bringing all Jews to Israel. We appeal to the parents

1300
01:38:59,239 --> 01:39:02,079
to help us bring your children here. Even if they

1301
01:39:02,119 --> 01:39:04,640
decline to help, we will bring the youth to Israel.

1302
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:08,159
But I hope that this will not be necessary. Basically,

1303
01:39:08,159 --> 01:39:13,640
he's Beanngurion. I think the airport is named after him.

1304
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:19,079
There the main airport. The most positive said, we're going

1305
01:39:19,119 --> 01:39:21,319
to force people. We're going to force Jews to do it.

1306
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:27,760
There are various documented cases in which fanatical Zionists exploited, exaggerated, invented,

1307
01:39:28,079 --> 01:39:31,960
and even perpetrated anti Semitic incidents, both to procure support

1308
01:39:32,319 --> 01:39:36,680
and to drive Jews to immigrate to the Zionist designated homeland.

1309
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:45,479
A few examples are discussed below. I just re released

1310
01:39:46,199 --> 01:39:51,000
my reading of I can't remember what his name is,

1311
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:58,239
but Crying Wolf Hate crime hoaxes in America. There's a big,

1312
01:39:58,319 --> 01:40:01,199
big I think the biggest section was about this certain

1313
01:40:01,239 --> 01:40:07,600
group Brandeis new heading Brandeis and Frankfurt versus US diplomat.

1314
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,720
One such case involved the young diplomat named Hugh Gibson,

1315
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,720
who in nineteen nineteen was nominated to be US Ambassador

1316
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:17,880
to Poland. After he arrived in Poland, Gibson, who was

1317
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:21,760
highly regarded and considered particularly brilliant, began to report that

1318
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,680
there were far fewer anti Semitic incidents and Americans were

1319
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:28,119
led to believe. He wrote his mother, these yarns are

1320
01:40:28,159 --> 01:40:33,600
exclusively of foreign manufacture for anti Polish purposes, So what's

1321
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,079
he saying here? They're spinning a yarn. These things are

1322
01:40:37,119 --> 01:40:39,680
made up. There may be one or two here, but

1323
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:42,840
it's the exception that proves the rule that it's not

1324
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:52,319
happening here, and it's exclusively a foreign manufacture, all right.

1325
01:40:55,079 --> 01:40:57,720
His dispatches came to the attention of Brandeis and his

1326
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:02,439
protege and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankforter, who demanded

1327
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:06,720
a meeting with Gibson. Gibson later wrote of their accusations,

1328
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:08,479
this is a quote I'm going to quote a whole

1329
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:12,920
section for those of you who were just listening Gibson speaking.

1330
01:41:14,079 --> 01:41:18,600
I had Brandeis and Frankfurter claimed done more mischief to

1331
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:21,479
the Jewish race than anyone who had lived in the

1332
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:26,520
last century. I mean, that's that's a long list if

1333
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:32,319
you listen to Zionists and Jews. Nicholas the second, Alexander

1334
01:41:32,359 --> 01:41:40,520
the third, really wow. They said that my reports on

1335
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,960
the Jewish question had gone around the world and had

1336
01:41:43,079 --> 01:41:47,039
undone their work. They finally said that I had stated

1337
01:41:47,199 --> 01:41:50,640
that I had stated that the stories of excesses against

1338
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,800
the Jews were exaggerated, to which I replied that they

1339
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,279
certainly were, and I should think any Jew would be

1340
01:41:56,319 --> 01:41:59,640
glad to know it. I'm not going to get into

1341
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,760
this is and argue that any let me read that again,

1342
01:42:03,039 --> 01:42:06,039
to which I replied that they certainly were, and I

1343
01:42:06,079 --> 01:42:08,840
should think any Jew would be glad to know that

1344
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:11,279
by basically what he's saying is, I would think you'd

1345
01:42:11,319 --> 01:42:14,640
be really happy to know that I'm reporting that it's

1346
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:18,199
a false report the Jews are being persecuted in Poland.

1347
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:23,760
I've made this argument before about certain things I'm not

1348
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:29,359
going to bring up here, but it doesn't matter. They

1349
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:36,039
need you to believe that they are being persecuted still

1350
01:42:36,079 --> 01:42:40,840
to today. They need you to believe that October seventh

1351
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:44,840
happened in a vacuum, that nothing led up to October seventh.

1352
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:53,079
Frankfurter Or hinted that if Gibson continued these reports, Zionists

1353
01:42:53,079 --> 01:43:00,960
would block his confirmation by the Senate's freaking I mean,

1354
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:06,520
it's only recently right that we've had corruption in this country. Huh.

1355
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:12,159
No that one hundred years ago somebody went to Poland

1356
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:17,520
spoke the truth about what he discovered, and then when

1357
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:22,680
he came back, somebody, a very powerful person hinted that

1358
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,840
if you don't trash these reports, you're not going to

1359
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:32,239
get the job. I thought they were all about who

1360
01:43:32,319 --> 01:43:35,239
was the most successful and who was the most qualified.

1361
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:40,399
Gibson was outraged and sent a twenty one page letter

1362
01:43:40,399 --> 01:43:43,720
to the State Department. In it, he shared his suspicions

1363
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:48,880
that this was part of a conscienceless and blood and

1364
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:51,680
cold blooded plan to make the condition of the Jews

1365
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:55,279
in Poland so bad that they must turn to Zionism

1366
01:43:55,399 --> 01:44:02,399
for relief. Mister Gibson hero speaking the truth Zionus and

1367
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:07,600
the Nazis new heading. I've heard her opinion about this,

1368
01:44:08,279 --> 01:44:13,119
and I will Carl Rattle. Not Karl Daal who's on

1369
01:44:13,159 --> 01:44:15,079
my show all the time, but Carl Raddle or a

1370
01:44:15,159 --> 01:44:20,199
DL has a substack. He's on Twitter. There may be

1371
01:44:20,239 --> 01:44:22,399
some things in here. I'll have to point you to

1372
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:27,039
him to deep bulk. Perhaps the most extreme case of

1373
01:44:27,119 --> 01:44:31,039
Zionis exploitation of anti Semitism to further their cause came

1374
01:44:31,119 --> 01:44:35,199
during the rise of Adolph Hitler. Zionis leaders had a

1375
01:44:35,199 --> 01:44:37,600
mixed response to Hitler and the rise of the Nazis.

1376
01:44:38,039 --> 01:44:43,520
Israeli historian Tom Segev writes everyone wondered how the persecution

1377
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:48,760
of the Jews in Germany would affect life in Palestine.

1378
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:53,199
They wondered how the persecution of the Jews would affect

1379
01:44:53,239 --> 01:44:57,319
life in Palestine, not that they would try to get

1380
01:44:57,359 --> 01:45:03,039
them out of there and protect them. It almost seems

1381
01:45:03,159 --> 01:45:07,079
like this is the kind of attitude where you're like, well,

1382
01:45:07,199 --> 01:45:09,640
if it happens to him, it's good for our cause.

1383
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:15,640
If something happens to them, it's good for our cause. Maybe.

1384
01:45:16,279 --> 01:45:18,920
While paper is predicted loss and ruined beyond repair and

1385
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,439
described a dance of death in Berlin, they expected that

1386
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:27,600
the hour of trouble and anguish would open unprecedented historical opportunities,

1387
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:32,960
specifically increased immigration to Palestine. Ben Gurion hoped the Nazis

1388
01:45:33,079 --> 01:45:37,520
victory would become a fertile force for Zionism. Let's pay

1389
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:44,720
Let's check the that quote by that he's attributing to,

1390
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:50,199
or that sentiment that he's attributing to. Ben Gurion is

1391
01:45:50,239 --> 01:45:55,079
from Tom Segev The Seventh Million, The Israelis and the

1392
01:45:55,119 --> 01:46:03,159
Holocaust nineteen ninety three, page nineteen. Historians have documented the

1393
01:46:03,279 --> 01:46:07,439
Zionist sabotage efforts to find safe havens for Jewish refugees

1394
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:10,640
from Nazi Germany in order to convince the world that

1395
01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:16,600
Jews could only be safe in a Jewish state. That

1396
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:22,359
is this Here's I'll read the footnote on this. This

1397
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:24,600
was well known in the State Department, for example, State

1398
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:28,600
Department Near East Expert Harry and Howard states, quoting there

1399
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,279
was discussion of liberalizing American immigration laws in this period.

1400
01:46:32,399 --> 01:46:35,920
The Zionist opposed that liberalization on the ground that this

1401
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,840
would not be a solution as far as they were concerned.

1402
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:43,760
They wanted a political, not necessarily a humanitarian solution. That is,

1403
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:55,640
they wanted a state more. Let's see, here's another one.

1404
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:58,560
The Zionist movement knows that Palestine is and will be

1405
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:05,079
for some time in society. They know that they can

1406
01:47:05,159 --> 01:47:08,560
raise vast sums for Palestine by saying to donors there

1407
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:12,600
is no other place this poor jew can go. That's

1408
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:18,720
from Lilienthal, What Price Israel, page twenty seven. So basically,

1409
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:26,039
they want they want the world to believe that even

1410
01:47:26,079 --> 01:47:30,479
if they aren't being persecuted, they're being persecuted. Do you

1411
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:37,239
think that affects the opinions that most people have today

1412
01:47:37,359 --> 01:47:46,640
on how they were treated even in Germany? Let's see, Okay,

1413
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:50,079
when FDR made efforts in nineteen thirty eight and nineteen

1414
01:47:50,159 --> 01:47:53,520
forty three and the British in nineteen forty seven to

1415
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:57,720
provide havens for refugees from the Nazis. Ziona supposed these

1416
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:06,159
projects because they did not include dude, Palestine. So leave

1417
01:48:06,239 --> 01:48:16,279
them there. Leave them there because we wanted to get

1418
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:19,680
so bad. We don't care. I don't really care about

1419
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:26,159
these people. They want. The only choice to be Palestine.

1420
01:48:26,359 --> 01:48:29,119
Don't take them to America, don't take them to you

1421
01:48:29,159 --> 01:48:33,640
know any don't take them safe at someplace safe. Leave

1422
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:40,680
him there. Morris Ernst, FDR's international envoy for refugees, wrote

1423
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,640
in his memoir that when he worked to help find

1424
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:48,640
refuge for those fleeing Hitler, quote, active Jewish leaders decried

1425
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:52,159
sneer and then attacked me as if I were a trader.

1426
01:48:52,359 --> 01:48:55,279
At one dinner party, I was openly accused of furthering

1427
01:48:55,359 --> 01:48:59,039
this plan of freer immigration into the US in order

1428
01:48:59,079 --> 01:49:05,119
to undermine political Zionism. Zionist friends of mine opposed it.

1429
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:15,680
So there's a real threat quote unquote on the lives

1430
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:22,319
of a Jewish population. Someone wants to do something about

1431
01:49:22,319 --> 01:49:26,600
it and get them out, bring them into the USA,

1432
01:49:28,399 --> 01:49:37,720
and even his friends attack them. Ernst wrote that he

1433
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,880
found the same fanatical reaction among all the Jewish groups

1434
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:44,399
he approached, whose leaders he found were little concerned about

1435
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:49,920
human blood if it is not their own. FDR finally

1436
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:53,000
gave up, telling Ernst, we can't put it over because

1437
01:49:53,039 --> 01:49:57,039
the dominant vocal Jewish leadership of America won't stand for it.

1438
01:50:00,199 --> 01:50:04,079
Can't put it over because the dominant vocal Jewishly they

1439
01:50:04,279 --> 01:50:11,159
won't stand for them being rescued and brought anywhere, allegedly

1440
01:50:11,199 --> 01:50:14,520
probably other than Palestine. But as we'll find out later,

1441
01:50:15,119 --> 01:50:24,800
even somebody who worked to free and get Jews taken

1442
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:28,039
out of some of a couple of the camps, we'll

1443
01:50:28,079 --> 01:50:30,159
see how that Zionists treated him, what they did to

1444
01:50:30,239 --> 01:50:37,000
him for his good works. Journalist Erskine B. Childer's son

1445
01:50:37,039 --> 01:50:39,960
of the former Irish Prime Minister, wrote in The Spectator

1446
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:43,479
in nineteen sixty quote, one of the most massively important

1447
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:47,880
features of the entire Palestine struggle was that Zionism deliberately

1448
01:50:48,079 --> 01:50:51,600
arranged that the plight of the wretched survivors of Hitlerism

1449
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:56,159
should be a moral argument which the West had to accept.

1450
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:06,680
Even though there was a plan, there were many plans

1451
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,560
to get them out of the way and get them

1452
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:11,600
out of Germany, or get them out of get them

1453
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:14,439
out of the Eastern Front, wherever this was, wherever they

1454
01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:18,560
could get them out, which they didn't want, unless it

1455
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:23,640
was to Palestine, which really wasn't in the cards at

1456
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:25,000
that time, so it would have had to have been

1457
01:51:25,039 --> 01:51:33,600
to a third country. After the war, they were the

1458
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,399
West and the leader. We were to blame for them.

1459
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:42,039
We were to blame because you know, anyone who perished

1460
01:51:42,399 --> 01:51:47,039
during the war, it was on our hands, even though

1461
01:51:47,159 --> 01:51:53,439
our people tried to get them out. He explained that

1462
01:51:54,319 --> 01:51:56,920
that quote, this was done by seeing to it that

1463
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:00,720
Western countries did not open their doors widely and immediately

1464
01:52:01,079 --> 01:52:08,039
to the inmate of the displaced persons camps, the DP camps. Childers,

1465
01:52:08,119 --> 01:52:11,600
author of several books on conflict resolution and peacekeeping, who

1466
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:14,079
later became Secretary General of the World Federation of the

1467
01:52:14,159 --> 01:52:19,600
United Nations Associations, commented, quoting it is incredible that so

1468
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:23,359
grave and grima campaign has relieved, so has received so

1469
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:27,039
little attention in accounts of the Palestine struggle. It was

1470
01:52:27,079 --> 01:52:30,600
a campaign that literally shaped all subsequent history. It was

1471
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:35,600
done by sabotaging specific Western schemes to admit Jews, the

1472
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:41,760
Jewish dps. There were even a certain amount of collusion

1473
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:46,640
between Zionist and Nazi leaders. Okay, this is where I

1474
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:48,279
don't know what she's going to say because I haven't

1475
01:52:48,279 --> 01:52:50,279
read I haven't read head to this part, but I

1476
01:52:50,319 --> 01:52:54,359
have read her opinions on the on this. There are

1477
01:52:54,520 --> 01:53:01,119
people who want to make it like zion and Nazis

1478
01:53:01,119 --> 01:53:04,239
were working together like side by side on this. Most

1479
01:53:04,239 --> 01:53:06,640
of that happened even actually before Hitler came to power.

1480
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:10,560
Like I said, Carl Raddle's substack he has now, I

1481
01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:15,640
mean it's footnoted everywhere, and it's mostly for I think

1482
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,600
pretty much every footnote he has is from shit. Libs

1483
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:21,920
have written books. So this is all what a grain

1484
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:24,439
of salt. There was even a certain amount of collusion

1485
01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:27,840
between Zionis and Nazi leaders when disturbing facts emerged in

1486
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:31,560
the nineteen fifties about this. These caused considerable scandal in

1487
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,119
Israel and led to the fall of the Israeli government

1488
01:53:34,199 --> 01:53:39,239
of the time. A number of books are dedicated to

1489
01:53:39,279 --> 01:53:42,720
this subject and has discussed in numerous others. In some cases,

1490
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:46,000
there were accusations at Zionist collaboration with Nazis that saved

1491
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:49,079
people with connections at the expense of those with none.

1492
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:53,680
That's always going to happen no matter what. So I mean,

1493
01:53:54,359 --> 01:53:58,840
that's just history. I mean, I'm sorry. The topic inspired

1494
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:02,560
novels by well known and Israeli writers Amos Elon and

1495
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:05,680
Neil Gordon, was a subject of a nineteen eighty seven

1496
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:08,119
British play and was portrayed in in nineteen ninety four

1497
01:54:08,239 --> 01:54:11,880
Israeli docu drama. Some Zionist leaders worked out what became

1498
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:15,359
known as the Transfer Agreement, a nineteen thirty three pack

1499
01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:17,119
with the Nazis in which Jews who wished to go

1500
01:54:17,159 --> 01:54:20,399
to Palestine could transfer their capital to Palestine. As part

1501
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:23,319
of the agreement, these Zionists agreed to reject a boycott

1502
01:54:23,359 --> 01:54:28,079
that had been implemented against Germany. That much of that

1503
01:54:28,239 --> 01:54:31,680
is true, except the Transfer Agreement started earlier than nineteen

1504
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:35,720
thirty three, and it pretty much dissolved I think by

1505
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:38,880
nineteen thirty four and nineteen thirty five, and not much

1506
01:54:39,039 --> 01:54:43,399
became of it. Not many moved moved there. So I

1507
01:54:43,399 --> 01:54:45,960
have the book over there. I can't remember the name

1508
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:49,319
of it. I think it was Zionism and anti Semitism

1509
01:54:49,479 --> 01:54:58,239
in Nazi Germany. Israeli author Tom Segev explains that The

1510
01:54:58,319 --> 01:55:01,000
agreement was based on the comple elementary interests of the

1511
01:55:01,039 --> 01:55:03,640
German government and the Zionist movement. The Nazis wanted the

1512
01:55:03,720 --> 01:55:05,840
Jews out of Germany, the Zionists wanted them to come

1513
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:08,840
to Palestine. For a time, the Nazis worked with these

1514
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:11,640
Zionist leaders to promote Jewish immigrations in a Palestine. A

1515
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:15,560
series in a Berlin paper published by Nazi propaganda minister

1516
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:19,399
Joseph Goebbels was entitled A Nazi Visits Palestine and depicted

1517
01:55:19,479 --> 01:55:23,640
glowing photographs of Jewish immigrants in Palestine. Gebels created a

1518
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,479
medal with a swastik on one side, and yeah, that's

1519
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:30,600
actually if you ever see that medal, that is a

1520
01:55:31,399 --> 01:55:35,439
has a a star of David on one side and

1521
01:55:35,479 --> 01:55:37,760
a swastik on the other. And people are like, oh,

1522
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,279
look look at look how closely they were working together.

1523
01:55:40,279 --> 01:55:43,239
They even had no No. Goebels had those made as

1524
01:55:43,319 --> 01:55:52,079
a promotion for his newspaper. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's

1525
01:55:52,119 --> 01:55:57,439
it was. It was basically like if you ever been

1526
01:55:57,479 --> 01:55:59,439
to a baseball game and they get you there on

1527
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:02,000
bat Dan because they give away bats to everyone, or

1528
01:56:02,479 --> 01:56:04,880
Cap Day or something like that. Yeah, it was just

1529
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:07,560
a way of it was just a way of getting

1530
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:15,199
people to by the paper. Basically Nazi official Adolf Eichmann,

1531
01:56:15,279 --> 01:56:17,600
later famous for his public trial in Israel, learned some

1532
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:20,720
Hebrew and Yiddish. Actually, he spoke it very fluently, and

1533
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:24,159
briefly visited Palestine in nineteen thirty seven. He met with

1534
01:56:24,239 --> 01:56:27,159
Zionis leaders on a number of occasions, including meeting with

1535
01:56:27,239 --> 01:56:31,479
Ben Gurion, chief assistant and future mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kullak.

1536
01:56:33,720 --> 01:56:38,479
I say he spoke it, spoke it fluently. I'd have

1537
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:41,000
to check on that again, but I know that they

1538
01:56:41,039 --> 01:56:46,720
definitely quieted him and kept him in a cage during

1539
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,520
his trial because they didn't want him to They only

1540
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,720
wanted to hear him speak. They only wanted the crowd

1541
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:53,359
to hear him speak. When they wanted him to hear

1542
01:56:53,399 --> 01:56:55,439
him speak. They were scared he was going to start

1543
01:56:55,479 --> 01:57:00,399
speaking in Hebrew and that might cause people to change

1544
01:57:00,439 --> 01:57:03,119
your mind or be like, wait about what's going on here.

1545
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:06,600
He met with Zionis leaders on a number of occasions,

1546
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:09,880
including meeting with Ben Gurion, chief assistant, and future marriages

1547
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:13,960
from Titty Kollach. Eichman's autobiography was never published and reportedly

1548
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:17,760
remained sealed somewhere in Israeli archives. I would love to

1549
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:21,359
get my hands on that thing. As already referred to

1550
01:57:21,439 --> 01:57:24,760
earlier Zionis leader Samuel Landman in nineteen thirty six, he

1551
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:28,760
is a particularly ironic strategy, strategy to push for Britain's

1552
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:31,319
help in opening up Palestine to the growing number of

1553
01:57:31,439 --> 01:57:36,359
Jewish refugees from Germany. According to Landman, Zionis actions were

1554
01:57:36,399 --> 01:57:38,960
responsible for the US entry into World War One on

1555
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:43,960
the side of Britain. Covered that last episode US involvement

1556
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:47,880
then enabled the Allies to defeat Germany. The knowledge of

1557
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:50,840
this Zionist connection, Landman said, was a cause of the

1558
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:55,039
growing anti Semitism in Germany. Remember I said that last time.

1559
01:57:56,079 --> 01:57:58,920
Everybody's like, oh, the Germans just woke up one day

1560
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:06,000
and hated Jews. No, this is a This is somebody

1561
01:58:06,119 --> 01:58:10,760
who was there, who saw all of this, who saw

1562
01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:15,800
how the US was got into World War One. American

1563
01:58:16,159 --> 01:58:22,520
white American white boys died for basically so that Zionists

1564
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:25,479
could get the Balfour Declaration. They could they could have

1565
01:58:26,079 --> 01:58:32,000
a mandate towards going back there. And people in Germany

1566
01:58:32,079 --> 01:58:36,119
knew this, and that is was he said was a

1567
01:58:36,359 --> 01:58:39,800
cause of the growing anti Semitism in Germany. That would

1568
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:43,840
be a huge one, because I think most experts agree

1569
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:45,840
that if the United States didn't get in the war,

1570
01:58:46,039 --> 01:58:50,399
didn't join in the war, Germany would have won. But

1571
01:58:50,479 --> 01:58:54,920
then they suffered everything that they suffered. If you again,

1572
01:58:55,079 --> 01:58:59,039
another book that I've read on my show Blockade, Diary

1573
01:58:59,079 --> 01:59:06,520
of a middle class US Austrian Woman by Anna Eisenbenger,

1574
01:59:07,439 --> 01:59:10,399
explains what they did to the people, how they tried

1575
01:59:10,439 --> 01:59:14,439
to kill them and starve them to death. Yeah. Therefore,

1576
01:59:14,520 --> 01:59:17,439
Landsman argued there was a greater need than ever for

1577
01:59:17,479 --> 01:59:20,319
the Jewish state in Palestine that the British had allegedly

1578
01:59:20,359 --> 01:59:22,880
promised in return for Jewish help in winning the war.

1579
01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:25,960
What's the uh? Let me go to that. Let me

1580
01:59:25,960 --> 01:59:31,600
see one thirty two. One thirty two. That is from Landman,

1581
01:59:32,079 --> 01:59:37,600
Great Britain, the Jews and Palestine Landman's booklet. This is

1582
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:40,479
I'm reading the footnotes here. Landman's booklet also contained a

1583
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:43,960
veiled threat that without such a state, these increasingly desperate

1584
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:46,920
Jewish masses might attempt to pull down the pillars of

1585
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:53,000
civilization by becoming communists. They were already they already did

1586
01:59:53,039 --> 01:59:56,479
that in Russia. I mean they're responsible for the nineteen

1587
01:59:56,520 --> 02:00:01,560
oh five revolution and nineteen seventeen. Interestingly, Theodore Hertzelone's eighteen

1588
02:00:01,640 --> 02:00:07,760
ninety six book Who Who also written of a Jewish

1589
02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:11,039
connection to communism, quoting, when we sink we become a

1590
02:00:11,079 --> 02:00:17,520
revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties. Historian

1591
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:20,720
Norman F. Canter, in his book The Jewish Experience nineteen

1592
02:00:20,800 --> 02:00:24,399
ninety six, page three sixty four, reports that the Jews

1593
02:00:24,439 --> 02:00:31,359
played a disproportionately important role in Soviet and world communism.

1594
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:35,079
According to doctor Canter, quoting the Bolshek Revolution in some

1595
02:00:35,159 --> 02:00:41,960
of its aftermath represented from one perspective, Jewish revenge's saying

1596
02:00:42,039 --> 02:00:47,359
that on two hundred years together, the whole time, it'll

1597
02:00:47,399 --> 02:01:02,399
take a sip of water. Alrighty, moving on. This one's

1598
02:01:02,399 --> 02:01:06,119
a little longer than previous ones, but let's finish this up.

1599
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:13,680
Zionists fate hate attacks on Iraqi Jews. That's a mouthful.

1600
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:17,239
While Zionists wished for a massive in gathering of the

1601
02:01:17,279 --> 02:01:20,279
Jews in one state, most Iraqi Jews wanted nothing to

1602
02:01:20,279 --> 02:01:22,800
do with it. According to Iraqs then chief Rabbi, who

1603
02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:29,760
stated quote Iraqi Jews will be forever against Zionism. Huh,

1604
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:33,880
they really hate Iraq, don't they wonder why Jews and

1605
02:01:33,960 --> 02:01:37,159
Arabs have enjoyed this? Is quoting Jews and Arabs have

1606
02:01:37,279 --> 02:01:40,199
enjoyed the same privileges, same rights and privileges for a

1607
02:01:40,319 --> 02:01:44,079
thousand years, and do not regard themselves as a distinctive

1608
02:01:44,279 --> 02:01:54,479
separate part of the nation. The rabbi declared, that's Lilienthal,

1609
02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:59,319
what price is real again? Page one fifty one. Lilienthal

1610
02:01:59,359 --> 02:02:03,359
goes on tooury. Despite these warning, Zionist agents effectively produced

1611
02:02:03,399 --> 02:02:08,000
trouble in Iraq. Rabbi Sassoon himself was badly beaten by

1612
02:02:08,039 --> 02:02:16,000
co religionists. I'm going to read that again. Jews and

1613
02:02:16,119 --> 02:02:18,640
Arabs have enjoyed the same rights and privileges for a

1614
02:02:18,720 --> 02:02:21,760
thousand years, and do not regard themselves as a distinctively

1615
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:27,520
separate part of this nation, the rabbi declared, talking about Ibraq.

1616
02:02:30,199 --> 02:02:34,000
Zionists worked to change that by covertly attacking Iraqi Jews

1617
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:37,199
so as to induce them to flee to Israel. Zionists

1618
02:02:37,239 --> 02:02:42,920
planted bombs in Iraqi synagogues and in the US Information

1619
02:02:43,199 --> 02:02:48,039
Service Library in Iraq. Quote in attempts to portray the

1620
02:02:48,079 --> 02:02:51,760
Iraqis as an anti American, as anti American, and to

1621
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:56,680
terrorize the Jews. According to author and former CIA operative

1622
02:02:56,800 --> 02:03:03,720
Wilbur Crane Eveland, one thirty four Wilber Eveland Ropes of

1623
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:07,039
sand America's Failure in the Middle East, nineteen eighty, page

1624
02:03:07,119 --> 02:03:13,359
forty eight, quoting soon leaflets began to appear, urging Jews

1625
02:03:13,359 --> 02:03:17,079
to flee to Israel, rightes Eveland and most of the

1626
02:03:17,119 --> 02:03:20,680
world believed reports that Arab terrorism had motivated the flight

1627
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:24,279
of the Iraqi Jews from the Zionists, whom the Zionists

1628
02:03:24,319 --> 02:03:29,159
had rescued. Really just in order to increase Israel's Jewish population,

1629
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:37,399
Zionists Jews went to Iraq, planted bombs in Israeli synagogues.

1630
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:44,960
In Iraqi synagogues, it's their own people right in the U,

1631
02:03:45,319 --> 02:03:57,800
and in a US library, that's Americans right. Similarly, Name Galadi,

1632
02:03:58,239 --> 02:04:01,319
a Jewish Iraqi author who later lived in Israel and

1633
02:04:01,399 --> 02:04:05,640
the US, describes the program from the inside quote, I

1634
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:08,119
write about what the first Prime Minister of Israel called

1635
02:04:08,279 --> 02:04:11,600
cruel Zionism. I write about it because I was part

1636
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:15,479
of it. Galatti states that the Jews from Islam. The

1637
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:21,760
quoting is Galatti states that quote Jews from Islamic lands

1638
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:27,800
did not emigrate willingly to Israel in order end quote,

1639
02:04:28,319 --> 02:04:32,399
in order quote to force them to leave, Galotti writes,

1640
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:38,880
Jews killed Jews. He goes on to say that in

1641
02:04:38,920 --> 02:04:44,600
an effort quote to buy time to confiscate evermore Arab lands,

1642
02:04:45,239 --> 02:04:50,720
Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their

1643
02:04:50,800 --> 02:05:02,600
Arab neighbors. He states, genuine peace initiatives. But I mean

1644
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:04,960
these are just murderous Muslims, right, I mean they were,

1645
02:05:05,680 --> 02:05:07,760
I mean, how are they? How can they live side

1646
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:11,720
by side with Muslims with How could Jews live side

1647
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:14,000
by side with Muslims for a thousand years in Iraq?

1648
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:16,520
And then when they say, oh, we want you to

1649
02:05:16,520 --> 02:05:19,359
come to Israel, They're like, no, go away, screw you.

1650
02:05:20,159 --> 02:05:21,880
This is our home. It's been our home for a

1651
02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:26,399
thousand years. And then they plant bombs and kill them

1652
02:05:27,319 --> 02:05:37,199
and plant bombs in the American library, and I get

1653
02:05:37,199 --> 02:05:45,359
criticized for yeah, yeah, all right, that's it. Next chapter

1654
02:05:45,439 --> 02:05:48,760
will be chapter seven. The modern Israel Lobby is born.

1655
02:05:49,680 --> 02:05:54,439
I hope you're getting a lot out of this. I'm

1656
02:05:54,439 --> 02:05:56,000
sure a lot of you, people who know a lot

1657
02:05:56,039 --> 02:05:58,760
of things, are learning a lot too, so know a

1658
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:05,319
lot about this. This we're learning a lot too. So yeah,

1659
02:06:05,479 --> 02:06:08,600
I wouldn't be talking about this if we still weren't

1660
02:06:08,680 --> 02:06:14,520
dealing with it, and if it weren't probably most dangerous

1661
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:18,800
thing that we're dealing with at this point. All right,

1662
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:24,079
back in a couple of days. Take care. Welcome back

1663
02:06:24,119 --> 02:06:29,399
to part five of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment,

1664
02:06:29,640 --> 02:06:32,399
The Hidden History of How the US was used to

1665
02:06:32,479 --> 02:06:38,000
Create Israel by Alison Weir. I'm going to jump right

1666
02:06:38,119 --> 02:06:42,640
into chapter seven. Let's get going. I think we can

1667
02:06:42,680 --> 02:06:45,399
knock have two chapters today unless I start getting ranty,

1668
02:06:45,520 --> 02:06:50,399
which I might. Chapter seven, the modern Israel lobby is born.

1669
02:06:51,359 --> 02:06:54,720
In the nineteen twenties and nineteen thirties, American Zionists retreated

1670
02:06:54,840 --> 02:07:00,319
somewhat from overtly pushing for a Jewish state in Palestine. Instead,

1671
02:07:00,359 --> 02:07:05,079
many focused on creating Jewish institutions in Palestine, reports historian

1672
02:07:05,159 --> 02:07:12,079
Naomi Cohen, who calls this approach Palestinianism. Funny that they're

1673
02:07:12,119 --> 02:07:18,720
calling it Palestine since they nowadays they've read the revisionists

1674
02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:21,279
will tell you there's no such thing as Palestine. Palestine.

1675
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:24,760
There's no such thing. Why are you using that word?

1676
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:28,840
There's no such thing. But they even had a term

1677
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:35,119
called Palestinianism. Con attributes this switch to American anti Semitism

1678
02:07:35,159 --> 02:07:37,319
in the nineteen twenties and the Great Depression in the

1679
02:07:37,359 --> 02:07:44,039
nineteen thirties, but American's revulsion against militant nationalisms, particularly strong

1680
02:07:44,079 --> 02:07:47,880
after World War One, must certainly have been an important factor.

1681
02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:52,279
Cohen writes that this retreat from over at Zionism permitted

1682
02:07:52,319 --> 02:07:57,439
the spread of a quiet Zionism in synagogues and Jewish schools,

1683
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:03,239
all quoting Meanwhile, by not publicly declaring the end goal

1684
02:08:03,279 --> 02:08:06,520
of a Jewish state, Zionists could avoid the appearance of

1685
02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:15,720
disloyalty or dual allegiance. So they're being subversive. They're not

1686
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:19,520
publicly declaring the end goal of a Jewish state, But

1687
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:22,960
that's our goal. Why are they not doing it publicly

1688
02:08:23,359 --> 02:08:27,399
to avoid the appearance of being disloyal or appearance of

1689
02:08:27,399 --> 02:08:34,039
disloyalty or dual allegiance, which they have. Their loyalty is

1690
02:08:34,079 --> 02:08:39,439
to creating their own state. And I've abandoned the term

1691
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:46,079
dual allegiance because there's only one. This better fit the

1692
02:08:46,079 --> 02:08:49,640
temper of the times following a war allegedly fought for democracy.

1693
02:08:50,439 --> 02:08:53,560
A number of both Jewish and non Jewish writers opposed

1694
02:08:53,600 --> 02:08:56,479
the non democratic agenda of creating a Jewish state on

1695
02:08:56,640 --> 02:09:02,600
land whose population was overwhelmingly non Jewish. Amazing that they

1696
02:09:03,039 --> 02:09:07,000
just they so admitted back then that there were people there,

1697
02:09:07,359 --> 02:09:10,680
Now they say there weren't. As a Jewish writer pointed

1698
02:09:10,680 --> 02:09:15,159
out in a Zionist journal quoting, forcing foreign rule upon

1699
02:09:15,199 --> 02:09:18,000
the majority of the population so that a minority may

1700
02:09:18,079 --> 02:09:23,159
achieve political, economic and cultural privileges does not accord with

1701
02:09:23,199 --> 02:09:26,159
the conscience of people bred in America and Western Europe

1702
02:09:26,319 --> 02:09:32,000
to the principles of free self government. So even a

1703
02:09:32,119 --> 02:09:38,439
Zionist journal and a Jewish writer realizes that going there

1704
02:09:38,479 --> 02:09:47,319
and displacing people and basically going there to rule them,

1705
02:09:48,359 --> 02:09:50,000
which is what they knew they were going to do,

1706
02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:54,159
says it right here. Forcing foreign rule upon a majority

1707
02:09:54,159 --> 02:10:04,039
population was against American and Western values. Yet Americans will

1708
02:10:04,079 --> 02:10:08,359
bend over backwards and maybe and sometimes literally bend over

1709
02:10:10,319 --> 02:10:16,600
for these people. On the other hand, creating Jewish institutions

1710
02:10:16,640 --> 02:10:20,199
in Palestine, such as the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, seemed

1711
02:10:20,239 --> 02:10:23,840
to non Zionists like altruism rather than the vanguard of

1712
02:10:23,840 --> 02:10:26,760
a colonial movement. You see where this is going, right,

1713
02:10:27,319 --> 02:10:31,960
As Cohne explains to outsiders non Jewish Americans, it was

1714
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:37,920
basically a philanthropy and Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists. So

1715
02:10:38,079 --> 02:10:42,800
it was a trick. They made it look like, oh,

1716
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:45,359
we're opening up a university and you know, we'll allow

1717
02:10:45,399 --> 02:10:48,880
these people to come in and we'll educate them. And

1718
02:10:51,239 --> 02:10:56,600
you know, she doesn't go into exactly here where they're

1719
02:10:56,920 --> 02:10:59,239
going to be deeply discounted, where they go for free,

1720
02:10:59,359 --> 02:11:01,560
or you know, mostly that they were going to be

1721
02:11:01,560 --> 02:11:11,279
completely excluded to a certain extent. Where's this sa As

1722
02:11:11,359 --> 02:11:14,399
Cohen explains to outsiders non Jewish Americans, who is basically

1723
02:11:14,399 --> 02:11:19,880
a philanthropy and Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists. Zionist leaders

1724
02:11:19,880 --> 02:11:22,439
felt that the US was critically important to their goal.

1725
02:11:23,079 --> 02:11:25,800
Ben Gurion, who had visited the United States almost every

1726
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:29,560
year after his election to the Jewish to the Zionist Executive,

1727
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:32,279
wrote in nineteen thirty nine that he was convinced that

1728
02:11:32,319 --> 02:11:36,680
the main arena for Zionist efforts outside Palestine should be America,

1729
02:11:37,319 --> 02:11:40,399
stating that they had quote no more effective tool at

1730
02:11:40,439 --> 02:11:44,239
our disposal than the American Jewish community and Zionist movement.

1731
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:52,119
Zionist Musha Shirtok, a future Israeli foreign minister, stated during

1732
02:11:52,119 --> 02:11:55,720
World War two, quote, America will have a decisive influence

1733
02:11:55,760 --> 02:11:57,680
at the end of the war. And the question of

1734
02:11:57,720 --> 02:12:01,159
our strength in America is a very real an important one.

1735
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:08,760
Strength in America a question of our strength in America.

1736
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:14,640
Scherzoch went on to state, quote, there are millions of

1737
02:12:14,680 --> 02:12:17,199
active and well organized Jews in America. In their position

1738
02:12:17,239 --> 02:12:20,920
in life enables them to be most dynamic and influential.

1739
02:12:22,239 --> 02:12:24,399
They live in the nerve centers of the country and

1740
02:12:24,439 --> 02:12:30,119
hold important positions in politics, trade journalism, the theater, and

1741
02:12:30,159 --> 02:12:33,920
the radio. They could influence public opinion, but their strength

1742
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:36,840
is not felt since it is not harnessed and directed

1743
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:45,279
at the right target politics, trade journalism, the theater, and

1744
02:12:45,319 --> 02:12:52,680
the radio. But if I say that a Zionist leader

1745
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:55,520
decried what he considered a problem with American Jews at

1746
02:12:55,560 --> 02:12:58,439
this time, quote the American Jew thinks of himself first

1747
02:12:58,439 --> 02:13:01,600
and foremost as an American city. This is a fact,

1748
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:06,800
whether we like it or not. He concluded, quote, loyalty

1749
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:15,000
to America is now the Supreme watchword. They didn't like

1750
02:13:15,079 --> 02:13:17,359
that there were people here who are loyal to America

1751
02:13:18,560 --> 02:13:24,119
Jews who are loyal to America. Zionists were determined to

1752
02:13:24,159 --> 02:13:27,840
harness this untapped power, and soon the Zionist movement began

1753
02:13:28,439 --> 02:13:32,520
to come into its own, the immediate precursor to today's pro

1754
02:13:32,640 --> 02:13:35,560
Israel lobby. In nineteen thirty nine, under the leadership of

1755
02:13:35,640 --> 02:13:41,600
Rabbi Abba hellel Silver, originally from Lithuania, he created the

1756
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:45,520
American Zionist Emergency Council, which by nineteen forty three had

1757
02:13:45,520 --> 02:13:47,600
acquired a budget of half a million dollars at a

1758
02:13:47,640 --> 02:13:53,880
time when a nickel bought a loaf of bread. In

1759
02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:57,800
addition to this money, Zionist had become influential in creating

1760
02:13:57,920 --> 02:14:02,680
a fundraising umbrella organization, the United Jewish Appeal, in nineteen

1761
02:14:02,760 --> 02:14:07,479
thirty nine, giving them access to the organization's gargantuan financial

1762
02:14:07,520 --> 02:14:11,399
resources fourteen million in nineteen forty one, one hundred and

1763
02:14:11,439 --> 02:14:15,760
fifty million by nineteen forty eight. This was four times

1764
02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:19,279
more than the Americans contributed to the Red Cross and

1765
02:14:19,439 --> 02:14:23,039
was the equivalent of approximately one point five billion dollars today.

1766
02:14:25,359 --> 02:14:29,720
With its extraordinary funding, AZEC embarked on a campaign to

1767
02:14:29,760 --> 02:14:35,079
target every sector of American society, ordering that local committees

1768
02:14:35,119 --> 02:14:37,479
be set up in every Jewish community in the nation.

1769
02:14:38,159 --> 02:14:42,520
In the words of AZEC organizer ci Kennin, it launched

1770
02:14:42,560 --> 02:14:46,640
a political and public relations offensive to capture the support

1771
02:14:46,680 --> 02:15:01,880
of congressman, clergy, editors, professors, business, and labor. But it's

1772
02:15:01,880 --> 02:15:05,359
a conspiracy theory, right, I mean they to say they

1773
02:15:05,359 --> 02:15:07,720
did that as a conspiracy theory, you can't prove it, right,

1774
02:15:07,760 --> 02:15:14,279
I mean, they admit it. But AZEK constructed activists to quote,

1775
02:15:14,439 --> 02:15:17,840
make direct contact with your local congressman or senator, or

1776
02:15:17,880 --> 02:15:21,000
to go after union members, wives and parents of servicemen,

1777
02:15:21,600 --> 02:15:26,560
and Jewish war veterans. AZEK provided activists with form letters

1778
02:15:26,560 --> 02:15:30,680
to use and schedule and schedules of anti Zionist lecture

1779
02:15:30,720 --> 02:15:35,399
tours to oppose and disrupt. So not only were they

1780
02:15:35,439 --> 02:15:38,920
doing positive work, they were doing negative work, positive in

1781
02:15:38,960 --> 02:15:42,039
that they were promoting their own message and negative in

1782
02:15:42,079 --> 02:15:44,840
that they went to disrupt people who were speaking out

1783
02:15:44,880 --> 02:15:48,680
against them. A measure of its power came in nineteen

1784
02:15:48,760 --> 02:15:52,119
forty five when Silver disliked a British move that would

1785
02:15:52,159 --> 02:15:58,079
be harmful to Zionists. AAZAC booked Madison Square Garden, ordered advertisements,

1786
02:15:58,119 --> 02:16:01,239
and mailed two hundred and fifty thousand and nnouncements the

1787
02:16:01,319 --> 02:16:05,439
first day. By the second day, they had organized demonstrations

1788
02:16:05,479 --> 02:16:09,800
in thirty cities, a letter writing campaign, and convinced twenty

1789
02:16:09,840 --> 02:16:13,760
seven US Senators to give speeches. This is in nineteen

1790
02:16:13,880 --> 02:16:19,800
forty five, they were able to organize in two days

1791
02:16:20,239 --> 02:16:23,600
demonstrations in thirty cities, letter writing campaigns, and convinced us

1792
02:16:24,279 --> 02:16:31,439
convinced twenty seven US Senators to give speeches. When you

1793
02:16:31,479 --> 02:16:40,559
consider today how easy travelers they just pick up a phone,

1794
02:16:40,840 --> 02:16:47,840
you know, whire people. How hard is it to understand

1795
02:16:47,920 --> 02:16:53,120
how you can have fifty cities across the country having

1796
02:16:53,159 --> 02:17:09,559
anti anti anti immigration or anti immigrant, anti remigration protests.

1797
02:17:09,799 --> 02:17:14,559
Let's put it that way, when back then, in two

1798
02:17:14,639 --> 02:17:18,159
days they could organize in thirty cities and get twenty

1799
02:17:18,159 --> 02:17:24,159
seven US Senators to get to give speeches. Nineteen forty five,

1800
02:17:28,159 --> 02:17:31,200
grassroots Zionist action groups were organized, with more than four

1801
02:17:31,280 --> 02:17:35,000
hundred local committees under seventy six state and regional branches.

1802
02:17:37,360 --> 02:17:41,639
AzaC funded books, articles, and academic studies. Millions of pamphlets

1803
02:17:41,680 --> 02:17:46,239
were distributed. There were massive petition. In letter writing campaigns,

1804
02:17:46,479 --> 02:17:50,479
AAZAC targeted college presidents and deans, managing to get more

1805
02:17:50,559 --> 02:17:57,360
than one hundred and fifty to sign one petition one

1806
02:17:57,399 --> 02:18:03,040
hundred and fifty presidents, college presidents and deans to sign one.

1807
02:18:03,200 --> 02:18:06,479
Rabbi elmer Berger, the executive director of the American Council

1808
02:18:06,520 --> 02:18:10,799
for Judaism, which opposed Zionism in the nineteen forties and fifties,

1809
02:18:11,079 --> 02:18:15,479
writes in his memoirs that there was a quote ubiquitous

1810
02:18:15,520 --> 02:18:20,200
propaganda campaign reaching just about every point of political leverage

1811
02:18:20,239 --> 02:18:26,479
in the country end quote. The Zionist Organization of America

1812
02:18:26,559 --> 02:18:30,040
bragged that the immensity of our operations and their diversity

1813
02:18:30,639 --> 02:18:35,000
in its forty eighth annual report, stating we reach into

1814
02:18:35,120 --> 02:18:41,520
every department of American life. Burger and other anti Zionist

1815
02:18:41,840 --> 02:18:45,959
Jewish Americans tried to organize against quoting the deception and

1816
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:50,559
cynicism with which the Zionist machine operated, but failed to

1817
02:18:50,559 --> 02:18:54,399
obtain anywhere near their level of funding. Among other things,

1818
02:18:54,440 --> 02:18:58,520
would be dissenters were afraid of quote the savagery of

1819
02:18:58,639 --> 02:19:07,680
personal attacks anti Zionists endured back then. If you're an

1820
02:19:07,719 --> 02:19:13,040
anti Zionist, which it seems like from what I'm reading here,

1821
02:19:13,399 --> 02:19:21,280
they were Jews, they were anti Zionists. You underwent savage

1822
02:19:21,280 --> 02:19:25,440
personal at secks, which doesn't seem like it would be

1823
02:19:25,559 --> 02:19:27,840
very hard. If you can get twenty seven senators to

1824
02:19:27,879 --> 02:19:34,399
give speeches in your for your cause, seems like you

1825
02:19:34,399 --> 02:19:39,639
could possibly get anything done to these people. Berger writes

1826
02:19:39,639 --> 02:19:43,120
that when he and a colleague opposed Zionist resolution in Congress,

1827
02:19:43,200 --> 02:19:46,559
Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who was to serve

1828
02:19:46,600 --> 02:19:49,479
in Congress for almost fifty years, told them they ought

1829
02:19:49,479 --> 02:19:54,239
to They ought to take you bitches out and shoot you.

1830
02:19:59,399 --> 02:20:08,239
I think it's it's removed here. So, Emmanuel Seller, you

1831
02:20:08,280 --> 02:20:12,879
ever heard of the heart Seller Act, which basically opened

1832
02:20:12,879 --> 02:20:18,760
the floodgates for immigration in this country? Mm hmm yep.

1833
02:20:21,959 --> 02:20:25,479
When it was unclear that President Harry Truman would support Zionism,

1834
02:20:25,639 --> 02:20:28,600
Seller and a committee of Zionist told him that they

1835
02:20:28,600 --> 02:20:31,639
had persuaded Dewey to support the Zionist policy and demand

1836
02:20:31,639 --> 02:20:37,479
that that Truman also take this stand. Seller reportedly pounded

1837
02:20:37,520 --> 02:20:40,639
on Truman's table and said that if Truman did not

1838
02:20:40,879 --> 02:20:50,879
do so, we'll run you out of town. Seller reportedly

1839
02:20:51,040 --> 02:20:55,840
pounded on Truman's table, that's the President of the United

1840
02:20:55,879 --> 02:21:01,239
States instead of you do so, he'd run him out

1841
02:21:01,239 --> 02:21:06,000
of town. Jacob Javitz, another well known senator. This time

1842
02:21:06,040 --> 02:21:09,879
Republicans hold the Zionist Women's Group will fight to death

1843
02:21:09,920 --> 02:21:12,040
and make a Jewish state in Palestine if it is

1844
02:21:12,079 --> 02:21:17,440
the last thing we do. Richard Stephens, author of American

1845
02:21:17,559 --> 02:21:19,959
Zionism in US Foreign Policy in nineteen forty two to

1846
02:21:20,040 --> 02:21:24,000
nineteen forty seven, reports that Zionists infiltrated the boards of

1847
02:21:24,079 --> 02:21:27,799
several Jewish schools that they felt didn't sufficiently promote the

1848
02:21:27,879 --> 02:21:32,000
Zionist cause. When this didn't work, Stephens' rights, they would

1849
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:37,159
start their own pro Zionist schools. Stephens writes that in

1850
02:21:37,239 --> 02:21:41,479
nineteen forty three to forty four, THEZA distributed over a

1851
02:21:41,479 --> 02:21:48,079
million leafless and pamphlets to public libraries, chaplains, community centers, educators, ministers, writers,

1852
02:21:48,639 --> 02:21:55,479
and others who might further the Zionist cause. Alfred Lillienthal,

1853
02:21:55,799 --> 02:21:57,959
who had worked in the State Department, served in the

1854
02:21:58,079 --> 02:22:00,200
US Army in the Middle East from nineteen four forty

1855
02:22:00,200 --> 02:22:02,840
three to nineteen forty five and became a member of

1856
02:22:02,920 --> 02:22:07,120
the anti Zionist American Council for Judaism. Reports at Zionist

1857
02:22:07,159 --> 02:22:10,120
monthly sales of books totaled between three to four thousand

1858
02:22:10,239 --> 02:22:14,920
throughout nineteen forty four to nineteen forty five. Richard Stevens

1859
02:22:14,920 --> 02:22:18,319
reports that Zionist subsidized books by non Jewish authors that

1860
02:22:18,399 --> 02:22:22,440
supported the Zionist agenda. They would then promote these books

1861
02:22:22,479 --> 02:22:28,280
jointly with commercial publishers. Several of them became best sellers.

1862
02:22:28,920 --> 02:22:33,120
So if you wonder why Hillary Clinton gets to write

1863
02:22:33,159 --> 02:22:35,840
a book and a Barack Obama gets to write a book,

1864
02:22:36,040 --> 02:22:41,360
and Mitt Romney gets to write a book which you

1865
02:22:41,399 --> 02:22:46,840
know no one is reading and buying, this is why

1866
02:22:47,479 --> 02:22:57,159
it's subsidized. New heading Zionist manufacturer Christian Support AzaC founder

1867
02:22:57,200 --> 02:22:59,920
Silver and other Zionis played a significant role in creating

1868
02:23:00,200 --> 02:23:07,399
Christian support for Zionism, a project Brandeis encouraged. Secret Zionist funds,

1869
02:23:07,520 --> 02:23:10,639
eventually reaching one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in nineteen

1870
02:23:10,680 --> 02:23:14,680
forty six, were used to revive an elitist Protestant group,

1871
02:23:15,200 --> 02:23:20,639
the American Palestine Committee. This group had originally been founded

1872
02:23:20,680 --> 02:23:23,920
in nineteen thirty two by Emmanuel Newman, a member of

1873
02:23:23,959 --> 02:23:29,120
the executive of the Zionist organization. The objective was to

1874
02:23:30,120 --> 02:23:33,440
was to organize a group of prominent, mainly non Jewish

1875
02:23:33,479 --> 02:23:38,920
American non Jewish Americans in moral and political support of Zionism.

1876
02:23:39,079 --> 02:23:41,840
Frankfurter was one of the main speakers at its launch.

1877
02:23:43,600 --> 02:23:48,000
Silver's headquarters issued a directive saying, quote in every community,

1878
02:23:48,040 --> 02:23:53,600
an American Christian Palestine Committee must be immediately organized. Author

1879
02:23:53,639 --> 02:23:58,000
Peter Gross reports that the Christian Committee's operations were hardly autonomous.

1880
02:23:59,159 --> 02:24:02,440
This is all quoting Zionists. Headquarters thought nothing of placing

1881
02:24:02,520 --> 02:24:06,479
newspaper advertisements on the clergyman's behalf without bothering to consult

1882
02:24:06,479 --> 02:24:09,520
them in advance, until one of the committee leaders meekly

1883
02:24:09,559 --> 02:24:12,719
asked at least for prior notice before public statements were

1884
02:24:12,799 --> 02:24:19,719
given or made in their name. Imagine you just wake

1885
02:24:19,799 --> 02:24:23,079
up one day and you're promoting something in the newspaper,

1886
02:24:24,479 --> 02:24:27,440
and you have no idea why you have no idea

1887
02:24:27,479 --> 02:24:34,360
how AZAK formed another group among clergymen, the Christian Council

1888
02:24:34,399 --> 02:24:38,360
in Palestine. An internal AzaC memo stated that the aim

1889
02:24:38,440 --> 02:24:42,040
of both groups was to quote crystallized the sympathy of

1890
02:24:42,120 --> 02:24:46,000
Christian America for our cause. By the end of World

1891
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:48,159
War II, the Christian Council in Palestine had grown to

1892
02:24:48,239 --> 02:24:51,399
three thousand members, and the American Palestine Committee boasted a

1893
02:24:51,440 --> 02:24:56,319
membership of sixty five hundred public figures, including senators, congressmen,

1894
02:24:56,399 --> 02:25:02,360
cabinet members, governors, state officers, mayors, jurists, clergy, educators, writers, publishers,

1895
02:25:02,360 --> 02:25:09,399
and civic and industrial leaders. Bought and sold, bought and

1896
02:25:09,440 --> 02:25:13,879
sold in nineteen forty. In the nineteen forties, and you

1897
02:25:13,920 --> 02:25:18,559
wonder why things are the way they are today, Historian

1898
02:25:18,639 --> 02:25:21,559
Richard Stevens explains that Christian support was largely gained by

1899
02:25:21,600 --> 02:25:27,239
exploiting their wish to help people in need. Stephens writes

1900
02:25:27,280 --> 02:25:30,639
that Zionists would proclaim the tragic plight of refugees fleeing

1901
02:25:30,639 --> 02:25:34,719
from persecution finding no home, thus linking the refugee problem

1902
02:25:34,799 --> 02:25:43,440
with Palestine as allegedly the only solution. So manipulation. Stephens

1903
02:25:43,520 --> 02:25:47,840
writes that the reason for the strategy was clear quote.

1904
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:50,280
While many Americans might not support the creation of a

1905
02:25:50,319 --> 02:25:55,840
Jewish state, traditional American humanitarianism could be exploited in favor

1906
02:25:55,879 --> 02:26:02,840
of the Zionist's cause through the refugee problems, Few, if

1907
02:26:02,879 --> 02:26:05,200
any of these Christian supporters had any idea that the

1908
02:26:05,200 --> 02:26:07,799
creation of the Jewish state would entail a massive expulsion

1909
02:26:07,799 --> 02:26:10,840
of hundreds of thousands of non Jews, who made up

1910
02:26:10,840 --> 02:26:14,680
the large majority of Palestine's population, creating a new and

1911
02:26:14,799 --> 02:26:19,799
much longer lasting refugee problem. Nor did they learn that

1912
02:26:19,920 --> 02:26:24,120
during and after Israel's founding nineteen forty seven to nineteen

1913
02:26:24,200 --> 02:26:28,319
forty nine war, Zionis forces attacked a number of Christian sites.

1914
02:26:29,559 --> 02:26:32,959
Donald Neff, former Time Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief and author

1915
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:36,319
of five books on Israel Palestine, reports in detail on

1916
02:26:36,479 --> 02:26:40,920
Zionis attacks on Christian sites in May nineteen forty eight,

1917
02:26:41,280 --> 02:26:45,319
the month of Israel's birth. Neff tells us that a

1918
02:26:45,319 --> 02:26:47,920
group of Christian leaders complained that month that Zionis had

1919
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:52,639
killed and wounded hundreds of people, including children, refugees, and clergy,

1920
02:26:53,040 --> 02:27:01,680
at Christian churches and humanitarian institutions. For example, the group

1921
02:27:01,879 --> 02:27:06,200
changed a charge that quote many children were killed or

1922
02:27:06,280 --> 02:27:09,799
wounded by Jewish shells on the convert on the convent

1923
02:27:09,840 --> 02:27:16,799
of Orthodox Cops Coptics, eight refugees were killed and about

1924
02:27:16,799 --> 02:27:20,079
one hundred and twenty wounded at the Orthodox Armenian Convent,

1925
02:27:20,920 --> 02:27:24,239
and that Father Pierre Somi, secretary to the Bishop, had

1926
02:27:24,280 --> 02:27:27,200
been killed and two wounded at the Orthodox Syrian Church

1927
02:27:27,319 --> 02:27:31,920
of Saint Mark. The group's statements that Arab forces had

1928
02:27:31,959 --> 02:27:35,079
abided by their promise to respect Christian institutions, but that

1929
02:27:35,120 --> 02:27:39,520
the Jews had forcefully occupied Christian structures and been indiscriminate

1930
02:27:39,600 --> 02:27:43,360
in shelling churches. Reports neff. He quotes a Catholic priest,

1931
02:27:43,760 --> 02:27:46,000
Jewish soldiers broke down the doors of my church and

1932
02:27:46,079 --> 02:27:49,360
robbed my precious and sacred objects. Then they threw the

1933
02:27:49,360 --> 02:27:53,040
statues of Christ down into a nearby garden. The priest

1934
02:27:53,120 --> 02:27:57,680
added that Jewish leaders had reassured that had reassured that

1935
02:27:57,719 --> 02:28:01,440
religious buildings would be respected. Their deeds do not correspond

1936
02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:07,879
to their words, do they. Ever. After Zionist soldiers invaded

1937
02:28:07,920 --> 02:28:11,319
and looted a convent in Tiberius, the US Consulate set

1938
02:28:11,360 --> 02:28:15,399
a bitter dispatch back to the State Department, complaining of

1939
02:28:15,680 --> 02:28:21,079
the Jewish attitude in Jerusalem towards Christian institutions. An American

1940
02:28:21,159 --> 02:28:24,920
Christian biblical scholar concurred, reporting that a friend in Jerusalem

1941
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:29,319
had told had been told, quote, when we control, you

1942
02:28:29,440 --> 02:28:32,239
take your dead Christ and go home. When we get control,

1943
02:28:32,399 --> 02:28:38,000
you take your dead Christ and go home, quoting let's

1944
02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:46,440
see where that's from. One seventy one Miller Burrough's Palestine

1945
02:28:46,559 --> 02:28:49,559
is our Business nineteen forty nine. Oh they go all

1946
02:28:49,559 --> 02:28:54,879
the way back. So yeah, that's within the time. This

1947
02:28:54,920 --> 02:28:57,000
is happening within a year, within a couple of years.

1948
02:28:58,200 --> 02:29:05,959
I like those close references. Chapter eight Zionist colonization efforts

1949
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:10,479
in Palestine. As early Zionists in the US and elsewhere

1950
02:29:10,479 --> 02:29:13,280
pushed for the creation of a Jewish state, Zionis and

1951
02:29:13,319 --> 02:29:16,680
Palestine simultaneously tried to clear the land of Muslim and

1952
02:29:16,760 --> 02:29:22,680
Christian inhabitants and replaced them with Jewish immigrants. This was

1953
02:29:22,719 --> 02:29:25,239
a tall order, as Muslims and Christians accounted for more

1954
02:29:25,280 --> 02:29:29,079
than ninety five percent of the population of Palestine. Zionis

1955
02:29:29,159 --> 02:29:31,440
planned to try first to buy up the land until

1956
02:29:31,479 --> 02:29:35,079
the previous inhabitants had emigrated. Failing this, they would use

1957
02:29:35,159 --> 02:29:38,760
violence to force them out. This dual strategy was discussed

1958
02:29:38,799 --> 02:29:44,239
in various written documents cited by numerous Palestinian and Israeli historians.

1959
02:29:45,799 --> 02:29:49,239
As a colonial project grew, the indigenous Palestinians reacted with

1960
02:29:49,319 --> 02:29:53,479
occasional bouts of violence. Zionists had anticipated this, since people

1961
02:29:53,559 --> 02:29:59,719
usually resist being expelled from their land. You don't say

1962
02:30:00,159 --> 02:30:02,520
when the buy out effort was able to obtain only

1963
02:30:02,520 --> 02:30:05,159
a few percent of the land, Zionis created a number

1964
02:30:05,159 --> 02:30:08,600
of terrorist groups to fight against both the Palestinians and

1965
02:30:08,680 --> 02:30:13,239
the British Terrorist and future Israeli Prime Minister MONOCOLM Began

1966
02:30:13,360 --> 02:30:17,079
later bragged that Zionists had brought terrorism both to the

1967
02:30:17,079 --> 02:30:21,879
Middle East and to the world at large. Doesn't that

1968
02:30:22,040 --> 02:30:28,360
really go up against the narrative you know now that

1969
02:30:28,639 --> 02:30:38,479
terrorism is distinctly Muslim. But no, Let's see one seventy

1970
02:30:38,479 --> 02:30:44,000
four Russell Warren Howe fighting the soldiers of occupation from

Personal encounters with the Middle East and islam Ed Richard H.

1973
02:30:51,120 --> 02:30:54,520
Curtis and Janet McMahon. Warren and his film crew were

1974
02:30:54,520 --> 02:30:58,079
filming an interview with monocholm Began in nineteen seventy four.

1975
02:30:58,600 --> 02:31:01,520
The red light had come on under the lens without preamble.

1976
02:31:01,559 --> 02:31:04,879
I turned my shoulder to the camera, stared straight into

1977
02:31:04,879 --> 02:31:07,600
Began's eyes and asked, how does it feel in the

1978
02:31:07,680 --> 02:31:09,360
light of all that is going on to be the

1979
02:31:09,399 --> 02:31:12,680
father of terrorism in the Middle East? In the Middle East,

1980
02:31:12,680 --> 02:31:22,760
he bellowed in his thick cartoon accent in all the world.

1981
02:31:24,159 --> 02:31:31,639
Uh huh, yeah, let's see where was I all right?

1982
02:31:33,079 --> 02:31:35,920
By the eve of the creation of Israel, the Zionist

1983
02:31:35,959 --> 02:31:39,440
immigration and buyout project had increased the Jewish population of

1984
02:31:39,479 --> 02:31:46,159
Palestine to thirty percent and land ownership from one percent

1985
02:31:46,239 --> 02:31:50,120
to approximately six to seven percent. This was in nineteen

1986
02:31:50,200 --> 02:31:52,719
forty seven, when the British at last announced that they

1987
02:31:52,760 --> 02:31:57,079
would end their control of Palestine. Britain turned the territory's

1988
02:31:57,120 --> 02:32:00,799
fate over to the United Nations. Since the funding principle

1989
02:32:00,840 --> 02:32:04,319
of the UN was self determination of peoples, one would

1990
02:32:04,319 --> 02:32:07,079
have expected to the U one would have expected to

1991
02:32:07,120 --> 02:32:11,520
the UN to support fair, democratic elections in which inhabitants

1992
02:32:11,879 --> 02:32:15,840
could create their own independent country. Instead, Zionists pushed for

1993
02:32:15,879 --> 02:32:18,879
a General Assembly resolution to give them a disproportion of

1994
02:32:18,920 --> 02:32:23,879
fifty five percent of Palestine. While they rarely announced this publicly,

1995
02:32:24,200 --> 02:32:27,559
their plan, stated in journal entries and letters, was to

1996
02:32:27,639 --> 02:32:32,920
later take the rest of Palestine new heading. US officials

1997
02:32:32,959 --> 02:32:36,840
opposed creation of Israel. The U s State Department opposed

1998
02:32:36,879 --> 02:32:41,799
the partition plans, strenuously considering Zionism contrary to both fundamental

1999
02:32:41,799 --> 02:32:45,600
American principles and US interests. For example, the director of

2000
02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:49,479
the State Department's Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs

2001
02:32:49,559 --> 02:32:54,200
consistently recommended against supporting a Jewish state and Palestine. The director,

2002
02:32:54,559 --> 02:32:58,159
named Lloy Henderson, warned that the creation of such a

2003
02:32:58,200 --> 02:33:02,239
state would go against locals wishes, imperil US interests, and

2004
02:33:02,319 --> 02:33:06,799
violate democratic principles. Henderson emphasized that the US would lose

2005
02:33:06,799 --> 02:33:11,040
moral standing in the world if it supported Zionism. Quote.

2006
02:33:11,079 --> 02:33:13,040
At the present time, the United States is a moral

2007
02:33:13,079 --> 02:33:15,680
prestige in the Near and Middle East, unequaled by that

2008
02:33:15,760 --> 02:33:19,600
of any other great power. We would lose that prestige

2009
02:33:19,639 --> 02:33:22,000
and would be likely for many years to be considered

2010
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:25,120
as a betrayer of the high principles which we ourselves

2011
02:33:25,159 --> 02:33:28,840
have enunciated during the periods of the Second World War

2012
02:33:29,440 --> 02:33:34,719
end quote. When Zionist pushed a partition plan in the UN,

2013
02:33:34,840 --> 02:33:38,639
Henderson recommended strongly against supporting their proposal, saying that such

2014
02:33:38,639 --> 02:33:41,920
a partition would have to be implemented by force and

2015
02:33:42,040 --> 02:33:45,600
was not based on any principle. He warned that partition

2016
02:33:45,799 --> 02:33:48,840
quote would guarantee that the Palestine problem would be permanent

2017
02:33:48,879 --> 02:33:53,159
and still more complicated in the future. You didn't really

2018
02:33:53,200 --> 02:33:55,399
have to be a prophet to know that that's what

2019
02:33:55,399 --> 02:34:00,520
would happen Henderson. Henderson elaborated further on how plans to

2020
02:34:00,559 --> 02:34:06,639
partition Palestine would violate American and UN principles. Quote proposals

2021
02:34:06,639 --> 02:34:11,319
for partition are indefinite contravention to various principles laid down

2022
02:34:11,399 --> 02:34:14,120
in the UN Charter, as well as to principles on

2023
02:34:14,120 --> 02:34:18,440
which American concepts of government are based. These proposals, for instance,

2024
02:34:18,520 --> 02:34:22,079
ignore such principles as self determination a majority rule. They

2025
02:34:22,159 --> 02:34:26,760
recognize the principle of a theocratic racial state, and even

2026
02:34:26,799 --> 02:34:30,280
go so far in several instances as to discriminate on

2027
02:34:30,399 --> 02:34:35,719
grounds of religion and race. Zionist attacked Henderson virulently, calling

2028
02:34:35,799 --> 02:34:39,360
him anti Semitic, demanding his resignation and threatening his family.

2029
02:34:40,680 --> 02:34:45,079
What's changed? Did someone answer that question for me? What's changed?

2030
02:34:48,360 --> 02:34:51,120
They pressured the State Department to transfer him elsewhere. One

2031
02:34:51,159 --> 02:34:55,440
analyst describes this as the historic game of musical chairs,

2032
02:34:55,440 --> 02:34:59,159
in which officials who recommended Middle Eastern policies consistent with

2033
02:34:59,200 --> 02:35:04,079
the nation interests were moved on. So if an American official,

2034
02:35:05,559 --> 02:35:10,239
when it came to the Middle East, spoke, gave his opinion,

2035
02:35:10,360 --> 02:35:15,360
and his opinion was what benefits America best. He was

2036
02:35:15,399 --> 02:35:21,959
moved on this terminology they use. In nineteen forty eight,

2037
02:35:22,000 --> 02:35:25,079
Truman sent Henderson to the slopes of the Himalayas as

2038
02:35:25,159 --> 02:35:30,319
Ambassador to Nepal, then officially under India. In recent years,

2039
02:35:30,319 --> 02:35:33,319
at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been

2040
02:35:33,360 --> 02:35:39,600
directed by a Zionist. Repeat that again. In recent years,

2041
02:35:39,680 --> 02:35:43,120
at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been

2042
02:35:43,159 --> 02:35:51,079
directed by a Zionist. What is she quoting? Revealed during

2043
02:35:51,120 --> 02:35:57,079
conversation with State Department associate. But Henderson was far from

2044
02:35:57,079 --> 02:36:00,280
alone in making his recommendations. He wrote that his use

2045
02:36:00,319 --> 02:36:02,920
were not only those of the entire Near East Division,

2046
02:36:03,200 --> 02:36:05,799
but were shared by nearly every member of the Foreign

2047
02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:09,239
Service or of the State Department who has worked to

2048
02:36:09,280 --> 02:36:14,639
any appreciable extent on Near Eastern problems. He wasn't exaggerating.

2049
02:36:15,200 --> 02:36:20,840
Official after official and agency after agency opposed Zionism. In

2050
02:36:20,920 --> 02:36:23,680
nineteen forty seven, the CIA reported the Zionist leadership was

2051
02:36:23,719 --> 02:36:27,600
pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and the strategic

2052
02:36:27,639 --> 02:36:30,360
interests of the Western powers in the Near and Middle East.

2053
02:36:31,520 --> 02:36:35,719
Ambassador Henry F. Grady, who has been called America's top

2054
02:36:35,719 --> 02:36:39,040
diplomatic soldier for a critical period of the Cold War,

2055
02:36:39,319 --> 02:36:42,239
headed a nineteen forty six commission aimed at coming up

2056
02:36:42,239 --> 02:36:46,120
with a solution for Palestine. Grady later wrote about the

2057
02:36:46,200 --> 02:36:50,200
Zionist lobby and its damaging effect on US national interests.

2058
02:36:51,479 --> 02:36:54,319
Quote I've had a good deal of experience with lobbies,

2059
02:36:54,360 --> 02:36:58,120
but this group started where those of my experiences had ended,

2060
02:36:58,159 --> 02:37:02,399
wrote Grady. Quote I have headed a number of government missions,

2061
02:37:02,399 --> 02:37:06,040
but in no other have I ever experienced so much disloyalty.

2062
02:37:07,360 --> 02:37:09,719
In the United States. Since there is no political force

2063
02:37:09,760 --> 02:37:13,959
to counterbalance Zionism, its campaigns are apt to be decisive

2064
02:37:14,600 --> 02:37:19,680
end quote. Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure, the US

2065
02:37:19,719 --> 02:37:22,840
would not have had the ill will with the Arab States,

2066
02:37:23,040 --> 02:37:26,000
which are of such strategic importance in our Cold War

2067
02:37:26,120 --> 02:37:32,239
with the Soviets. So if the if the US hadn't

2068
02:37:32,280 --> 02:37:36,959
supported the Zionist cause they are, everything was fine with

2069
02:37:37,000 --> 02:37:41,879
the Arab States. Now people are listening to that right now,

2070
02:37:41,920 --> 02:37:44,920
and they're thinking, no, no, no. Muslims are like out

2071
02:37:44,920 --> 02:37:51,879
of their minds. I mean again, when you ask what

2072
02:37:51,959 --> 02:37:56,239
causes anti Semitism, there's a reason. When you ask what

2073
02:37:56,360 --> 02:37:59,040
causes muslim you know Muslims to act the way they

2074
02:37:59,079 --> 02:38:01,559
have in the last you know, eighty years. There's a reason.

2075
02:38:07,719 --> 02:38:10,719
Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure, the US would not

2076
02:38:10,760 --> 02:38:13,000
have had the ill will with the Arab States, which

2077
02:38:13,000 --> 02:38:16,319
are such strategic importance in our Cold War with the Soviets.

2078
02:38:17,079 --> 02:38:21,799
Former Undersecretary of State Dean Achison also opposed Zionism. Atchison's

2079
02:38:21,799 --> 02:38:25,319
biographer writes that Atchison worried that the West would pay

2080
02:38:25,319 --> 02:38:29,639
a high price for Israel. Another author, John Mulhall, records

2081
02:38:29,680 --> 02:38:34,000
Atchison's warning of the danger for US interests. Quote, to

2082
02:38:34,000 --> 02:38:37,159
transform Palestine into a Jewish state capable of receiving a

2083
02:38:37,200 --> 02:38:43,000
million or more immigrants would vastly exacerbate the political problem

2084
02:38:43,079 --> 02:38:47,120
and imperil not only American but all Western interests in

2085
02:38:47,159 --> 02:38:51,280
the Middle in the Near East, the Joint Chiefs of

2086
02:38:51,280 --> 02:38:54,639
Staff reported in late nineteen forty seven, quote, A decision

2087
02:38:54,680 --> 02:38:57,600
to partition Palestine, if the decision were supported by the

2088
02:38:57,680 --> 02:39:01,319
United States, would prejudice the United States strategic interests in

2089
02:39:01,360 --> 02:39:04,799
the Near and Middle East, to the point that United

2090
02:39:04,840 --> 02:39:07,479
States influence in the area would be curtailed to that

2091
02:39:07,879 --> 02:39:11,239
which could be maintained, which to that which could be

2092
02:39:11,280 --> 02:39:16,280
maintained by military force. The Joint Chiefs issued at least

2093
02:39:16,280 --> 02:39:19,360
sixteen papers on the Palestine issue following World War Two.

2094
02:39:19,799 --> 02:39:22,479
They were particularly concerned that the Zionist goal was to

2095
02:39:22,600 --> 02:39:28,799
involve the US. One nineteen forty eight paper Predicted predicted

2096
02:39:28,840 --> 02:39:32,000
that quote the Zionist strategy will seek to involve the

2097
02:39:32,079 --> 02:39:36,000
United States in a continuously widening and deepening series of

2098
02:39:36,079 --> 02:39:46,559
operations intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives. The CIA stated

2099
02:39:46,600 --> 02:39:50,319
that Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both

2100
02:39:50,399 --> 02:39:53,479
Jews and the strategic interests of the Western Powers in

2101
02:39:53,520 --> 02:39:56,959
the Near and Middle East. The head of the State

2102
02:39:57,000 --> 02:40:00,879
Department's Division of Near Eastern Affairs, Gordon P. Merri, warned

2103
02:40:00,920 --> 02:40:06,959
against a partition plan on moral grounds. US support for

2104
02:40:07,040 --> 02:40:10,319
partition of Palestine as a solution to that problem can

2105
02:40:10,360 --> 02:40:13,680
be justified only on the basis of Arab and Jewish consent.

2106
02:40:14,319 --> 02:40:19,040
Otherwise we should violate, We should violate the principle. Otherwise

2107
02:40:19,040 --> 02:40:21,719
we should violate the principle of self determination, which has

2108
02:40:21,760 --> 02:40:24,360
been written into the Atlantic Charter, the Declaration of the

2109
02:40:24,440 --> 02:40:27,840
United Nations, and the United Nations Charter, a principle that

2110
02:40:27,920 --> 02:40:31,600
is deeply embedded in our foreign policy. Even a United

2111
02:40:31,680 --> 02:40:34,440
Nations determination in favor of partition would be, in the

2112
02:40:34,479 --> 02:40:39,000
absence of such consent, a stultification and violation of the

2113
02:40:39,120 --> 02:40:45,000
UN's own charter. Meriam added that without consent, bloodshed and

2114
02:40:45,120 --> 02:40:53,000
chaos would follow. A tragically accurate prediction. An Internal State

2115
02:40:53,040 --> 02:40:57,520
Department memorandum accurately predicted how Israel would be borne through

2116
02:40:57,719 --> 02:41:04,559
armed digression masked as defense Wow, quoting the Jews will

2117
02:41:04,600 --> 02:41:08,760
be the actual aggressors against the Arabs. However, the Jews

2118
02:41:08,799 --> 02:41:11,760
will claim that they are merely defending their boundaries of

2119
02:41:11,799 --> 02:41:15,239
a state which were traced by the UN. In the

2120
02:41:15,280 --> 02:41:18,559
event of such Arab outside aid, the Jews will come

2121
02:41:18,639 --> 02:41:21,399
running to the Security Council with the claim that their

2122
02:41:21,440 --> 02:41:23,959
state is the object of armed digression, and will use

2123
02:41:24,079 --> 02:41:27,000
every means to obscure the fact that it is their

2124
02:41:27,120 --> 02:41:30,760
own armed digression against Arabs inside which is the cause

2125
02:41:30,879 --> 02:41:37,959
of Arab counter attack. They go in as aggressors or

2126
02:41:38,040 --> 02:41:41,120
what is it they cry out in pain as they

2127
02:41:41,159 --> 02:41:49,639
strike you. Yeah, they went in as the aggressors, just

2128
02:41:49,719 --> 02:41:54,840
like in Russia they were the revolutionaries, and when the

2129
02:41:54,920 --> 02:42:01,840
Russians fought back, they cried foul they cried pogram, same

2130
02:42:01,920 --> 02:42:09,680
thing over and over and over again, and American Vice

2131
02:42:09,719 --> 02:42:13,000
Consul William J. Porter foresaw one last outcome of the

2132
02:42:13,040 --> 02:42:17,440
partition plan that no Arab state would actually ever come

2133
02:42:17,520 --> 02:42:22,680
to be in Palestine. That's it up to chapter nine.

2134
02:42:24,479 --> 02:42:26,840
The title of that one will be Truman asides to

2135
02:42:26,920 --> 02:42:31,639
pro Israel Lobby, Triman a sides too, pro Israel Lobby.

2136
02:42:31,840 --> 02:42:35,840
So yeah, we'll come back, and I think we're about

2137
02:42:35,879 --> 02:42:38,879
halfway through this, so we got a few more episodes

2138
02:42:38,920 --> 02:42:43,840
to go. But I think a lot of you are learning,

2139
02:42:44,079 --> 02:42:45,920
but I think a lot of you are just like, oh, yeah,

2140
02:42:46,000 --> 02:42:48,639
of course, and you listen to this and you're like,

2141
02:42:50,000 --> 02:42:51,799
I think a lot of people are just shrugging because

2142
02:42:51,799 --> 02:42:56,000
they're used to it. It almost can I think a

2143
02:42:56,000 --> 02:42:58,719
lot of you can almost anticipate what I'm gonna what's

2144
02:42:58,719 --> 02:43:03,479
going to be said, because it's almost boring at this point,

2145
02:43:05,399 --> 02:43:10,959
because you know, it's the same play over and over again. Thankfully,

2146
02:43:10,959 --> 02:43:19,200
I think it's it's falling apart eighty years. All right,

2147
02:43:19,440 --> 02:43:23,799
see in a few days, take caree, good morning, welcome

2148
02:43:23,879 --> 02:43:28,840
to part six. All right, I'm going to jump into

2149
02:43:29,920 --> 02:43:33,639
Truman giving into the pro Israel lobby. But just from

2150
02:43:33,719 --> 02:43:40,200
the last episode, here's something I thought I would was

2151
02:43:40,239 --> 02:43:46,760
a big takeaway for me. Here I'll actually share this

2152
02:43:46,760 --> 02:43:50,680
this one what I'm looking at just go over talking

2153
02:43:50,680 --> 02:43:54,120
about Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who ended up

2154
02:43:54,159 --> 02:44:01,319
serving fifty years. This guy Burger, Rabbi Elmer Berger, who

2155
02:44:01,399 --> 02:44:08,680
was anti Zionist the manual. Seller told them that they

2156
02:44:08,680 --> 02:44:14,520
ought to take him, take your blank out and shoot you.

2157
02:44:15,399 --> 02:44:18,360
And then when it was unclear that President Harry Truman

2158
02:44:18,399 --> 02:44:22,479
would support Zionism, Seller and a committee of Zionists told

2159
02:44:22,520 --> 02:44:25,360
him that they had persuaded Dewie to support the Zionist

2160
02:44:25,520 --> 02:44:30,280
policy and demanded that Truman take this stand. Seller reportedly

2161
02:44:30,520 --> 02:44:34,120
pounded on Truman's table and said that if Truman didn't

2162
02:44:34,159 --> 02:44:39,040
do this, we'll run you out of town. So yeah,

2163
02:44:39,479 --> 02:44:46,559
who's in charge? Who is in charge? All right? Let

2164
02:44:46,600 --> 02:44:54,000
me just make sure one thing here boom, alrighty cool,

2165
02:44:54,559 --> 02:44:58,559
all right, let's get into this. Let's keep going. Chapter

2166
02:44:58,680 --> 02:45:04,040
nine trumanceeds to the pro Israel lobby. President Harry Truman, however,

2167
02:45:04,120 --> 02:45:07,280
ignored this advice and chose instead to support the Zionist

2168
02:45:07,360 --> 02:45:11,680
Partition plan. Truman political advisor Clark Clifford believed that the

2169
02:45:11,760 --> 02:45:15,120
Jewish vote and contributions were essential to winning the upcoming

2170
02:45:15,159 --> 02:45:19,079
presidential election, and that supporting the partition plan would garner

2171
02:45:19,200 --> 02:45:24,639
that support. Truman's opponent, Dewey, took similar stands for similar reasons.

2172
02:45:25,399 --> 02:45:31,360
Truman's because they were being threatened. That. I mean, they

2173
02:45:31,520 --> 02:45:34,639
had the ability to be like, screw you, if I

2174
02:45:34,680 --> 02:45:38,159
lose the election, I lose the election. They had a

2175
02:45:38,239 --> 02:45:44,440
chance to stand on principle. But they're politicians. Truman was

2176
02:45:44,440 --> 02:45:49,280
a thirty third Mason. Truman's secretary of State, George Marshall,

2177
02:45:49,360 --> 02:45:51,680
the renowned World War II general and author of the

2178
02:45:51,719 --> 02:45:55,719
Marshall Plan, was furious to see electoral considerations taking precedence

2179
02:45:55,760 --> 02:46:00,680
over policies based on the national interest. Condemned what he

2180
02:46:00,760 --> 02:46:04,040
called a transparent dodge to win a few votes, which

2181
02:46:04,040 --> 02:46:07,239
would make the great dignity of the office of president

2182
02:46:07,319 --> 02:46:12,799
seriously diminished. Well, I mean, at this point it's gone right.

2183
02:46:13,239 --> 02:46:18,360
World War Two destroys all of this. Marshall wrote that

2184
02:46:18,440 --> 02:46:22,920
the council offered by Clifford was based on domestic policy considerations,

2185
02:46:22,959 --> 02:46:27,079
while the problem which confronted us was international. I said

2186
02:46:27,120 --> 02:46:30,280
bluntly that if the president were to follow mister Clifford's advice,

2187
02:46:30,319 --> 02:46:32,639
and if in the elections I were to vote, I

2188
02:46:32,680 --> 02:46:37,559
would vote against the president. Let me go back a

2189
02:46:37,559 --> 02:46:44,079
little bit, so I mentioned Emmanuel Seller. Emmanual Seller basically

2190
02:46:44,159 --> 02:46:50,479
threatening everyone around him, including the President of the United States.

2191
02:46:52,360 --> 02:46:56,639
Israel needs this partition plan. They need. We don't care

2192
02:46:56,760 --> 02:47:00,680
who lives there. Now, we're going to take it over,

2193
02:47:02,639 --> 02:47:04,200
and you're going to do this, and you're going to

2194
02:47:04,239 --> 02:47:09,520
be behind it. What does a manual seller do. Less

2195
02:47:09,520 --> 02:47:15,680
than twenty years later, he pens the bill that opens

2196
02:47:15,799 --> 02:47:21,760
the borders of the United States, the Heartseller Act. Heart

2197
02:47:21,760 --> 02:47:23,280
really didn't have anything to do with it. I can't

2198
02:47:23,319 --> 02:47:26,120
remember his first name right now. He was just the

2199
02:47:27,360 --> 02:47:31,520
goy to help him push it through, to be there,

2200
02:47:31,559 --> 02:47:35,079
to be like, yes, this is what needs to be done.

2201
02:47:35,239 --> 02:47:40,440
That's why his name is first. So he got his

2202
02:47:40,559 --> 02:47:46,440
partition plan, he got his country for his people, and

2203
02:47:46,479 --> 02:47:57,440
then he destroyed ours. Continuing Secretary of Defense, James Forrestall,

2204
02:47:57,559 --> 02:48:01,520
also tried unsuccessfully to oppose this. He was outraged at

2205
02:48:01,559 --> 02:48:05,399
Truman's Middle Midiest policy was based on what he called

2206
02:48:05,520 --> 02:48:09,440
squalid political purposes, asserting that the United States policy should

2207
02:48:09,440 --> 02:48:12,239
be based on United States national interests and not on

2208
02:48:12,319 --> 02:48:18,760
domestic political considerations. Forrestall represented the general Pentagon view when

2209
02:48:18,760 --> 02:48:21,840
he said that quote, no group in this country should

2210
02:48:21,879 --> 02:48:24,520
be permitted to influence our policy to the point where

2211
02:48:24,559 --> 02:48:28,959
it could endanger our national security. Great man, go back

2212
02:48:29,000 --> 02:48:32,920
and listen to my episode with Pilos on James Forrestall

2213
02:48:33,799 --> 02:48:42,319
and what they did to him. They killed him. He

2214
02:48:42,559 --> 02:48:49,920
jumped out a window, allegedly. He allegedly jumped out a

2215
02:48:49,959 --> 02:48:54,520
window all by himself. He went crazy, all by himself.

2216
02:48:55,719 --> 02:48:58,799
He was in an asylum. Who came to visit him. Well,

2217
02:48:58,879 --> 02:49:01,440
he was in a hospital who came to visit him

2218
02:49:01,440 --> 02:49:04,079
while he was in there. Go check out the episode.

2219
02:49:07,040 --> 02:49:09,600
A report by the National Security Council warned that the

2220
02:49:09,639 --> 02:49:14,120
Palestine turmoil was acutely endangering the security of the United States.

2221
02:49:14,360 --> 02:49:18,440
A CIA report stressed the strategic importance of the Middle

2222
02:49:18,440 --> 02:49:28,520
East and its oil resources. Similarly, George F. Kennan, the

2223
02:49:28,559 --> 02:49:32,159
State Department's Director of Policy Planning, issued a top secret

2224
02:49:32,159 --> 02:49:36,559
document on January nineteen forty seven that outlined the enormous

2225
02:49:36,639 --> 02:49:41,200
damage done to the US by the Partition Plan. Report

2226
02:49:41,280 --> 02:49:43,959
by the Policy Planning Staff on position of the United

2227
02:49:43,959 --> 02:49:48,479
States with respect to Palestine. It's footnoted here. Kennon continue

2228
02:49:48,719 --> 02:49:53,319
caution that quote important US oil concessions and air base

2229
02:49:53,399 --> 02:49:56,920
rights could be lost through US support for partition, and

2230
02:49:57,000 --> 02:50:00,440
warned that the USSR stood to gain by the partition plan.

2231
02:50:01,559 --> 02:50:05,879
Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson and a legendary intelligence agent,

2232
02:50:06,600 --> 02:50:10,239
was another who was deeply disturbed by events, noting, quote,

2233
02:50:10,719 --> 02:50:13,959
the process by which Zionist Jews have been able to

2234
02:50:14,000 --> 02:50:18,319
promote American support for the partition of the of Palestine

2235
02:50:18,399 --> 02:50:21,440
demonstrates the vital need of a foreign policy based on

2236
02:50:21,680 --> 02:50:26,879
national rather than partisan interests. Only when the national interests

2237
02:50:26,879 --> 02:50:30,239
of the United States, in their highest terms, take precedence

2238
02:50:30,319 --> 02:50:34,360
over all other considerations can a logical, far seeing foreign

2239
02:50:34,399 --> 02:50:38,040
policy be evolved. No American political leader has the right

2240
02:50:38,159 --> 02:50:43,799
to compromise American interest to gain partisan votes. Kermit Roosevelt

2241
02:50:43,840 --> 02:50:48,200
went on quote the President, the present course of world

2242
02:50:48,239 --> 02:50:52,159
crisis will increasingly force upon Americans the realization that their

2243
02:50:52,280 --> 02:50:55,520
national interests and those of the proposed Jewish state in

2244
02:50:55,639 --> 02:50:59,520
Palestine are going to conflict. It is to be hoped

2245
02:50:59,559 --> 02:51:02,680
that American Zionists and non Zionists alike will come to

2246
02:51:02,719 --> 02:51:06,840
grips with the realities of the problem. Truman wrote in

2247
02:51:06,920 --> 02:51:10,040
his memoirs, quote, I do not think I ever had

2248
02:51:10,079 --> 02:51:12,879
as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House

2249
02:51:12,920 --> 02:51:16,760
as I had in this instance. There were now a

2250
02:51:16,840 --> 02:51:23,600
million dues paying Zionists in the US. That's what we

2251
02:51:23,840 --> 02:51:36,559
call a block, a fifth column. Basically, do you think

2252
02:51:36,600 --> 02:51:45,360
it's gotten any better? Do you think it's grown then

2253
02:51:45,520 --> 02:51:49,360
as now? In addition to unending pressure, there was financial compensation.

2254
02:51:49,799 --> 02:51:54,959
Truman reportedly received receiving a suitcase full of money from

2255
02:51:55,040 --> 02:51:58,360
Zionis while on his campaign trail around the country. Let's

2256
02:51:58,399 --> 02:52:06,239
check out the footnote on that. Where that footnote comes from,

2257
02:52:06,360 --> 02:52:09,920
Gorvedal wrote, quote sometime in the late nineteen fifties that

2258
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:14,000
world class gossip and occasional historian John F. Kennedy told

2259
02:52:14,040 --> 02:52:16,920
me how in nineteen forty eight, Harry S. Truman had

2260
02:52:16,959 --> 02:52:19,319
been pretty much abandoned by everyone when he came to

2261
02:52:19,399 --> 02:52:22,399
run for president. Then an American Zionist brought him two

2262
02:52:22,399 --> 02:52:25,719
million dollars in cash in a suitcase aboard his whistlestop

2263
02:52:25,799 --> 02:52:31,040
campaign train. Quote. That's why our recognition of Israel was

2264
02:52:31,120 --> 02:52:36,120
rushed through so fast. Gorvidale forward. This is in Gorvidale's

2265
02:52:36,120 --> 02:52:39,319
forward to Jewish History Jewish Religion. The Weight of three

2266
02:52:39,360 --> 02:52:42,079
thousand Years by Israel Shahak, a book that I have

2267
02:52:42,239 --> 02:52:46,360
read on this show that I release every once in

2268
02:52:46,440 --> 02:52:49,879
a while, re release every once in a while. Everybody

2269
02:52:49,920 --> 02:52:52,760
ever wonders why. They're like, oh, Pete released us a

2270
02:52:52,760 --> 02:52:54,799
couple of months ago, why is he releasing it again?

2271
02:52:55,639 --> 02:52:58,479
First of all, new people showing up. Second of all,

2272
02:52:58,719 --> 02:53:03,520
listen to it again. This is how we got here.

2273
02:53:07,280 --> 02:53:11,920
Abraham Fineberg, this is still reading the footnotes. Abraham Finberg,

2274
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:15,639
in his Truman Library Oral History interview, describes arranging for

2275
02:53:15,719 --> 02:53:18,360
money to be delivered to Truman during his train campaign

2276
02:53:18,440 --> 02:53:21,360
around the nation. Quote. I had already got the commitments

2277
02:53:21,399 --> 02:53:24,280
for one hundred thousand dollars from people around the country,

2278
02:53:24,319 --> 02:53:27,799
all of whom understood that without Truman, Israel would have

2279
02:53:27,920 --> 02:53:30,680
had very difficult days and times trying to even come

2280
02:53:30,719 --> 02:53:34,479
into existence. As a train went into towns where there

2281
02:53:34,479 --> 02:53:37,399
were Jewish communities, I arranged that a Jewish delegation would

2282
02:53:37,440 --> 02:53:40,079
ask to see the president and be received on the train,

2283
02:53:40,239 --> 02:53:44,479
and that in as many cases as possible they would

2284
02:53:44,479 --> 02:53:55,520
bring him donations above these original commitments. So the trip triumphant.

2285
02:53:56,120 --> 02:53:58,920
So the trip was a triumphant trip from his point

2286
02:53:58,959 --> 02:54:03,360
of view as a politican. He often said, quote, if

2287
02:54:03,360 --> 02:54:06,159
not for my friend Abe, I couldn't have made the trip,

2288
02:54:06,200 --> 02:54:10,319
and I wouldn't have been elected. This is Richard D. McKenzie.

2289
02:54:10,479 --> 02:54:16,079
Abraham Feinberg Oral History Interview, Truman Library, August twenty third,

2290
02:54:16,200 --> 02:54:23,680
nineteen seventy three. We haven't had a country in a

2291
02:54:23,760 --> 02:54:30,799
very long time. There was a term that basically could

2292
02:54:30,840 --> 02:54:35,319
get you arrested in the seventies and eighties, zog Zionist

2293
02:54:35,319 --> 02:54:40,879
occupied government. I don't care. I'm going to use it

2294
02:54:40,920 --> 02:54:46,399
as much as possible. If it is not obvious that

2295
02:54:46,600 --> 02:54:49,920
now it's as bad as it was then, then you're

2296
02:54:51,520 --> 02:54:54,079
you're either not paying attention or you refuse to accept that.

2297
02:54:54,120 --> 02:55:01,639
You think it's unseemly to believe these things. New Heading

2298
02:55:01,719 --> 02:55:06,319
Personal influences on Truman. One person key in such Zionist

2299
02:55:06,399 --> 02:55:10,360
financial connections to Truman was Abraham Feinberg, a wealthy businessman

2300
02:55:10,360 --> 02:55:13,399
who was later to play a similar role with President

2301
02:55:13,479 --> 02:55:19,360
Johnson Huh. While many Americans have been aware of Truman's

2302
02:55:19,399 --> 02:55:22,479
come from behind win over Dewey, few people know about

2303
02:55:22,479 --> 02:55:25,040
the critical role of Finberg and the Zionist lobby and

2304
02:55:25,079 --> 02:55:32,120
financing Truman's victory. After Feinberg financed Truman's famous whistlestop campaign tour,

2305
02:55:32,520 --> 02:55:37,559
Truman credited him with his presidential win. This is in parenthesis.

2306
02:55:38,040 --> 02:55:40,959
When the CIA later discovered that Finberg also helped to

2307
02:55:40,959 --> 02:55:45,239
finance illegal gun running to Zionist groups, the Truman administration

2308
02:55:45,319 --> 02:55:54,200
looked the other way, huh shocking. An individual inside the

2309
02:55:54,280 --> 02:55:57,840
US government who worked to influence policy was David K. Niles,

2310
02:55:58,040 --> 02:56:02,920
executive assistant first to FDR and then to Truman. Niles,

2311
02:56:02,920 --> 02:56:07,639
according to author Alfred Lilienthal, was a member of a

2312
02:56:07,680 --> 02:56:11,600
select group of confidential advisors with an often quoted passion

2313
02:56:12,360 --> 02:56:17,799
for anonymity. Niles, though occasionally publicized as mister Truman's mystery Men,

2314
02:56:18,360 --> 02:56:21,680
remained totally unknown to the public. Behind the scenes, Nile

2315
02:56:21,840 --> 02:56:25,079
was regularly briefed by the head of the Washington office

2316
02:56:25,120 --> 02:56:30,600
of the Zionist Organization of America. When it was discovered

2317
02:56:30,639 --> 02:56:35,719
the top secret information was being passed onto the Israeli government,

2318
02:56:36,719 --> 02:56:40,120
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Omar Bradley,

2319
02:56:40,200 --> 02:56:43,799
told Truman he had to choose between Bradley and Niles.

2320
02:56:44,559 --> 02:56:47,639
Not long after, Niles resigned and went on a visit

2321
02:56:47,680 --> 02:56:54,159
to Israel. Another who helped influence Truman was his old

2322
02:56:54,239 --> 02:56:59,120
Kansas City friend and business partner Eddie Jacobson, active in

2323
02:56:59,159 --> 02:57:04,159
Bennet Brith and a passionate believer in Jewish nationalism who

2324
02:57:04,239 --> 02:57:07,399
was able to procure Zionist access to the President at

2325
02:57:07,479 --> 02:57:14,040
key times. Truman called Jacobson's input of decisive importance. Passionate

2326
02:57:14,040 --> 02:57:16,799
believer in Jewish nationalism. Do you think he was that

2327
02:57:16,879 --> 02:57:23,520
passionate about American? About American nationalism or America? Still? Another

2328
02:57:23,639 --> 02:57:27,079
was Sam Rosenman, a political advisor to Truman, whose screen

2329
02:57:27,200 --> 02:57:31,760
State Department memos sent to Truman. A longtime diplomat reports

2330
02:57:31,799 --> 02:57:35,479
that one of the department's memos was returned unopen with

2331
02:57:35,520 --> 02:57:39,680
a notation quote, President Truman already knows your views and

2332
02:57:39,760 --> 02:57:46,159
doesn't need this. Evan M. Wilson, a career diplomat who

2333
02:57:46,159 --> 02:57:50,120
had been US Consul general in Jerusalem, later wrote that

2334
02:57:50,159 --> 02:57:56,200
Truman had been largely motivated by domestic political considerations. At

2335
02:57:56,319 --> 02:57:59,799
least one of Truman's key policy speeches was drafted primarily

2336
02:57:59,840 --> 02:58:09,799
by the Washington representative of the Jewish Agency Under Secretary

2337
02:58:09,840 --> 02:58:12,479
of State James E. Webb, in a dispatch to Secretary

2338
02:58:12,520 --> 02:58:16,399
of State Dan Ascherson, noted the obvious quote past records

2339
02:58:16,399 --> 02:58:19,559
suggests Israel has had more influence with the US than

2340
02:58:19,600 --> 02:58:24,840
the U has us with Israel. I would say at

2341
02:58:24,840 --> 02:58:30,079
this point, the US has failed to exist and hasn't

2342
02:58:30,120 --> 02:58:39,079
existed since then. Chapter ten pro Israel pressure on General

2343
02:58:39,120 --> 02:58:43,520
Assembly members. When it was clear that, despite US support,

2344
02:58:43,600 --> 02:58:47,159
the partition recommendation did not have the two third support

2345
02:58:47,280 --> 02:58:52,040
of the UN General Assembly required to pass, Zionists pushed

2346
02:58:52,040 --> 02:58:55,040
through a delay in the vote. They then used this

2347
02:58:55,120 --> 02:58:59,159
period to pressure numerous nations into voting the recommendation. A

2348
02:58:59,239 --> 02:59:03,600
number of people or described this campaign. Robert Nathan, a

2349
02:59:03,760 --> 02:59:06,799
Zionist who had worked for the US government and who

2350
02:59:06,840 --> 02:59:11,079
was particularly active in the Jewish Agency, wrote afterward, quote,

2351
02:59:11,319 --> 02:59:14,639
we used any tools at hand, such as telling certain

2352
02:59:14,680 --> 02:59:17,559
delegations that the Zionists would use their influence to block

2353
02:59:17,639 --> 02:59:21,959
economic aid to any country that did not vote for partition.

2354
02:59:26,120 --> 02:59:31,559
Another Zionist proudly stated, quote, every clue was meticulously checked

2355
02:59:31,559 --> 02:59:34,959
and pursued, not the smallest or the remotest of nations,

2356
02:59:35,000 --> 02:59:38,799
but was contacted and wooed. Nothing was left to chance.

2357
02:59:40,520 --> 02:59:46,319
Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruk. Another one right before,

2358
02:59:46,479 --> 02:59:50,760
I believe, before I did the forest All James Forrestall

2359
02:59:50,799 --> 02:59:57,200
episode with Pilos, we did one on Bernard Baruk, financier

2360
02:59:57,280 --> 03:00:01,120
and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch. And now let me

2361
03:00:01,280 --> 03:00:09,200
just say, Bernard Baruke, enemy James Forrestall hero just you

2362
03:00:09,280 --> 03:00:13,600
know that starting this sentence for the third time, my apologies.

2363
03:00:14,559 --> 03:00:18,040
Financi Our and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruk told France

2364
03:00:18,440 --> 03:00:21,479
it would lose us AID if it voted against partition.

2365
03:00:23,120 --> 03:00:26,760
Top White House presidential aide David Niles organized pressure on

2366
03:00:26,879 --> 03:00:31,719
Liberia through rubber magnate Harvey Firestone, who told the Liberian

2367
03:00:31,799 --> 03:00:35,000
president that if Liberia did not vote in favor of partition,

2368
03:00:35,159 --> 03:00:39,680
Firestone would revoke his planned expansion in the country. Liberia

2369
03:00:39,760 --> 03:00:44,799
voted yes. Latin American delegates were told that the Pan

2370
03:00:44,840 --> 03:00:48,319
American Highway construction project would be more likely if they

2371
03:00:48,399 --> 03:00:54,399
voted yes. Delegates wives received mink coats. The wife of

2372
03:00:54,440 --> 03:00:59,440
the Cuban delegate returned hers. Costa Rica's president Jose Figetus,

2373
03:01:00,479 --> 03:01:05,360
reportedly received the blank checkbook. Haiti was promised economic aid

2374
03:01:05,399 --> 03:01:10,159
if it would change its original vote opposing partition. Longtime

2375
03:01:10,280 --> 03:01:13,760
zion A Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, along with ten

2376
03:01:13,879 --> 03:01:18,920
Senators and truman domestic advisor Clark Clifford, threatened the Philippines.

2377
03:01:19,760 --> 03:01:25,600
Seven bills on the Philippines were pending in Congress. Before

2378
03:01:25,639 --> 03:01:29,319
the vote on the plan, the Philippine delegate had given

2379
03:01:29,360 --> 03:01:36,479
a passionate speech against partition, defending the inviola inviolable primordial

2380
03:01:36,639 --> 03:01:40,319
rights of a people to determine their political future and

2381
03:01:40,559 --> 03:01:49,680
preserve the territorial integrity of their native land. The delegate

2382
03:01:49,799 --> 03:01:52,159
went on to say that he could not believe that

2383
03:01:52,200 --> 03:01:54,879
the General Assembly would sanction a move that would place

2384
03:01:54,920 --> 03:01:58,159
the world back on the road to the dangerous principles

2385
03:01:58,200 --> 03:02:06,440
of racial exclusiveness and to the archaic documents of theocratic governments. Basically,

2386
03:02:06,479 --> 03:02:09,479
what he's saying is, we just fought a World war

2387
03:02:09,639 --> 03:02:15,879
because a bunch of countries thought that they could remain German,

2388
03:02:17,000 --> 03:02:24,200
or Italian, or just that they could remain what they were,

2389
03:02:24,520 --> 03:02:29,399
what they've always what they've been since, you know, for centuries.

2390
03:02:32,239 --> 03:02:37,000
But now we have to let the let this small

2391
03:02:37,079 --> 03:02:42,159
group bend our will so that they can have their

2392
03:02:42,239 --> 03:02:56,680
ethno state and they can have their theocracy. We we

2393
03:02:56,760 --> 03:03:04,079
can't even close the fucking borders without people screaming that

2394
03:03:04,319 --> 03:03:07,239
it's evil that you know, you're oh, you're fascists, you're this,

2395
03:03:07,440 --> 03:03:14,559
you're that. Yet this small group can throw their weight.

2396
03:03:14,680 --> 03:03:16,559
We allow them to throw their weight around so that

2397
03:03:16,559 --> 03:03:20,200
they could get their own country and operate their borders

2398
03:03:20,200 --> 03:03:24,879
however they want. And then one of their biggest frigging

2399
03:03:27,280 --> 03:03:31,639
influences in this country, who's a senator, a manual seller,

2400
03:03:33,639 --> 03:03:36,000
he can do that. He can threaten the President of

2401
03:03:36,000 --> 03:03:43,520
the United States and then swing open our borders wide.

2402
03:03:43,799 --> 03:03:46,719
And then when you complain about that it's anti semitism,

2403
03:03:48,360 --> 03:03:53,920
the fuck yourselves. We don't have a country if we

2404
03:03:53,959 --> 03:03:55,799
don't stop this. We don't have a nation if we

2405
03:03:55,840 --> 03:03:58,479
don't stop this. We don't have a people if we

2406
03:03:58,520 --> 03:04:04,239
don't stop this. And the only reason you may see

2407
03:04:04,280 --> 03:04:08,079
some of them now calling for closed borders is because

2408
03:04:08,120 --> 03:04:14,639
it's come back to bite them in the ass. It's

2409
03:04:14,840 --> 03:04:21,639
all about them. They don't care about you. They care

2410
03:04:21,680 --> 03:04:28,799
about their survival and their thriving their diaspora. This doesn't

2411
03:04:28,799 --> 03:04:31,079
even mention the fact that they went through all of

2412
03:04:31,120 --> 03:04:36,440
this to have their own country, and then they won't

2413
03:04:36,479 --> 03:04:41,000
go there. They want to stay here and be able

2414
03:04:41,040 --> 03:04:46,280
to just absolutely be parasitic on us or on Europe,

2415
03:04:46,479 --> 03:04:57,079
on anywhere they go. Twenty four hours later, after intenzionis

2416
03:04:57,120 --> 03:04:59,920
pressure of the Philippine delegate voted in favor of Part two.

2417
03:05:01,760 --> 03:05:04,760
On November twenty nine, nineteen forty seven, UN General Assembly

2418
03:05:04,799 --> 03:05:08,959
Resolution one eighty one, the resolution creating partition, passed. While

2419
03:05:08,959 --> 03:05:12,079
this resolution is frequently cited, it was of limited, if any,

2420
03:05:12,200 --> 03:05:17,239
legal impact. General Assembly resolutions, unlike Security Council revolutions, are

2421
03:05:17,239 --> 03:05:21,600
not binding on member states. For this reason, the resolution

2422
03:05:21,760 --> 03:05:25,719
requested that the Security Council take the necessary measures as

2423
03:05:25,760 --> 03:05:30,239
provided for in the plan for its implementation, which the

2424
03:05:30,239 --> 03:05:35,280
Security Council never did. Legally, the General Assembly resolution was

2425
03:05:35,319 --> 03:05:39,319
a recommendation and did not create any states. What it

2426
03:05:39,479 --> 03:05:44,559
did do, however, was increased the fighting in Palestine. Within months,

2427
03:05:44,559 --> 03:05:47,239
the Zionists had forced out over four hundred and thirteen

2428
03:05:47,360 --> 03:05:54,680
thousand people. So basically there were four hundred and thirteen

2429
03:05:54,760 --> 03:06:02,719
thousand people who lived there for century, for a millennia,

2430
03:06:04,719 --> 03:06:12,239
and this group used all of their power and wealth

2431
03:06:12,479 --> 03:06:17,000
that they've an influence that they've figured out that they've

2432
03:06:17,440 --> 03:06:20,799
basically cheated people out of over the centuries when it

2433
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:26,440
comes to money. Definitely. Look, sorry, I've written read these

2434
03:06:26,479 --> 03:06:30,479
books where they brag about it. To force out almost

2435
03:06:30,600 --> 03:06:33,840
half a million people who have lived there for centuries.

2436
03:06:36,079 --> 03:06:37,479
I mean as a land went out of people for

2437
03:06:37,559 --> 03:06:41,040
people out of land, right or I guess they were

2438
03:06:41,079 --> 03:06:44,120
all evil, right, they're all evil, They're all evil Muslims?

2439
03:06:45,040 --> 03:06:49,520
Did how many of these people were Christians? A lot?

2440
03:06:53,559 --> 03:06:57,559
ZIONUS military units had stealthily been preparing for war before

2441
03:06:57,600 --> 03:07:00,879
the UN vote, and had acquired massive weapons, some of

2442
03:07:00,879 --> 03:07:04,239
it through a widespread network of illicit gun running operations

2443
03:07:04,280 --> 03:07:07,840
in the US under a number of front groups was

2444
03:07:07,879 --> 03:07:12,559
mentioned above. On May fifteenth, Zionists announced the creation of

2445
03:07:12,559 --> 03:07:15,879
their new state. They decided to name it Israel and

2446
03:07:15,959 --> 03:07:18,959
chose not to set its boundaries or to write a constitution,

2447
03:07:19,719 --> 03:07:22,399
a situation which yeah, they still don't have a constitution there.

2448
03:07:24,239 --> 03:07:28,120
Five Arab armies joined the fighting, but contrary to general

2449
03:07:28,159 --> 03:07:32,360
perceptions of this war, Zionis Asraeli forces outnumbered the combined

2450
03:07:32,479 --> 03:07:40,799
Arab and Palestinian combatants. Basically, what you have here people

2451
03:07:41,000 --> 03:07:44,479
talk about, oh, all these Arabs and Muslims just started

2452
03:07:44,520 --> 03:07:48,879
coming from other countries. Basically, it would be like if

2453
03:07:48,879 --> 03:07:59,360
somebody invaded, if a foreign entity invaded Alabama, and then Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia,

2454
03:07:59,760 --> 03:08:06,840
and South Carolina sent armies to help repel the invasion.

2455
03:08:09,440 --> 03:08:12,440
If a foreign entity, if a foreign army came and

2456
03:08:12,479 --> 03:08:18,959
started forcing people out of Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee, South

2457
03:08:19,000 --> 03:08:23,239
Carolina and Georgia sent armies, That's what it That's what

2458
03:08:23,280 --> 03:08:29,120
it was. Had nothing to do with Islam. It had

2459
03:08:29,159 --> 03:08:31,440
to do with the fact that there are people, Yes,

2460
03:08:31,520 --> 03:08:36,000
they might happen to be Muslim, but Christians from if

2461
03:08:36,000 --> 03:08:40,159
they did that here, Christians from Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina,

2462
03:08:40,239 --> 03:08:44,280
and Georgia would come. The fact that they were Christians

2463
03:08:44,559 --> 03:08:45,840
may have a little bit to do with it, but

2464
03:08:45,879 --> 03:08:50,600
it wouldn't. Can we fucking stop with the bullshit already?

2465
03:08:51,360 --> 03:08:57,760
They've already bragged that they brought they brought terrorism to

2466
03:08:57,840 --> 03:09:05,000
the Middle East Jews, Zionists, if you're scared to use

2467
03:09:05,079 --> 03:09:13,079
that term. The UN eventually managed to create a temporary

2468
03:09:13,120 --> 03:09:17,520
and very partial ceasefire, which during Israel obtained even more

2469
03:09:18,040 --> 03:09:22,399
which Israel, which during which Israel obtained even more armaments.

2470
03:09:23,399 --> 03:09:28,440
A Swedish UN mediator, Count Folk Bernadotte, who had previously

2471
03:09:28,520 --> 03:09:31,680
rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis. He basically had

2472
03:09:31,760 --> 03:09:35,879
negotiated to get Jews out of out of concentration camps.

2473
03:09:36,959 --> 03:09:39,639
He was dispatched to negotiat an end to the violence.

2474
03:09:40,319 --> 03:09:45,040
Israeli assassins killed him, and Israel continued what it called

2475
03:09:45,440 --> 03:09:51,879
what it was to call its war of independence. How

2476
03:09:51,879 --> 03:09:57,479
can invading army call it a war of independence? Why

2477
03:09:57,479 --> 03:09:59,879
would you do anything nice for these people if they're

2478
03:09:59,920 --> 03:10:07,319
just gonna fucking kill you? Why are we still putting

2479
03:10:07,360 --> 03:10:12,559
up with this? At the end of this war, through

2480
03:10:13,440 --> 03:10:16,600
ruthless implementation of plans to push out as many non

2481
03:10:16,680 --> 03:10:20,479
Jews as possible, Israel came into existence on seventy eight

2482
03:10:20,520 --> 03:10:25,399
percent of Palestine. But let us take a closer look

2483
03:10:25,399 --> 03:10:28,520
at the violence. To follow the UN recommendation, I'm done.

2484
03:10:28,639 --> 03:10:33,360
I'm frigging you can. We'll do this on episode seven.

2485
03:10:34,280 --> 03:10:37,959
All right, take care everyone, have a good weekend and

2486
03:10:38,799 --> 03:10:42,920
spend time with people you love. Take care. All right,

2487
03:10:43,159 --> 03:10:48,239
Here we go, Part seven of Against Our Better Judgment

2488
03:10:48,879 --> 03:10:55,399
by Alison Weir. Last episode got me worked up So, gee,

2489
03:10:55,559 --> 03:10:58,120
when you're going to talk about massacres in the Conquest

2490
03:10:58,120 --> 03:11:02,319
of Palestine, how much better I do this time? All right,

2491
03:11:03,799 --> 03:11:08,799
here we go Chapter eleven, Massacres in the Conquest of Palisan.

2492
03:11:09,440 --> 03:11:12,440
The passing of the Partition Resolution in November nineteen forty

2493
03:11:12,440 --> 03:11:14,959
seven triggered the violence of the State Department and Pentagon

2494
03:11:15,000 --> 03:11:18,760
analysts had predicted and for which Zionists had been preparing.

2495
03:11:19,799 --> 03:11:21,879
So the State Department in Penagon knew this was going

2496
03:11:21,959 --> 03:11:26,280
to happen, and Zionists were preparing for the violence. There

2497
03:11:26,280 --> 03:11:34,040
were at least thirty three cheez that number. Just I

2498
03:11:34,079 --> 03:11:39,799
love how that number triggers spurg so much. There were

2499
03:11:39,799 --> 03:11:43,040
at least thirty three massacres of Palestinian villages, half of

2500
03:11:43,079 --> 03:11:50,920
them before a single Arab army joined the conflict. So

2501
03:11:50,959 --> 03:11:54,840
the narrative you will hear Zionists and Jews say is

2502
03:11:54,959 --> 03:12:01,040
that as soon as they showed up from all over

2503
03:12:01,079 --> 03:12:04,479
the place, just poured over the borders for no reason,

2504
03:12:04,559 --> 03:12:10,079
because Jews were there. They wanted to kill Jews. According

2505
03:12:10,120 --> 03:12:12,440
to this, there were at least thirty three massacres of

2506
03:12:12,479 --> 03:12:17,079
Palestinian villages, half of them before a single Arab army

2507
03:12:17,120 --> 03:12:20,879
shut up to the conflict. So what is the uh

2508
03:12:22,120 --> 03:12:29,959
ah okay, so the looking for Oh, she just lists

2509
03:12:30,040 --> 03:12:34,559
out all of the villages and the dates that these

2510
03:12:34,600 --> 03:12:41,399
massacres took place, and it's from Kemseia Palestinian refugees right

2511
03:12:41,479 --> 03:12:47,799
to return and repartition. Ziona's forces were better equipped and

2512
03:12:47,840 --> 03:12:51,000
had more men under arms and their opponents. If you remember,

2513
03:12:51,000 --> 03:12:56,559
for my two Hundred Years Together series, doctor Johnson reiterates

2514
03:12:56,680 --> 03:13:01,959
over and over and over again that the Jews in Russia,

2515
03:13:02,120 --> 03:13:09,840
especially in Ukraine, the revolutionaries were far better equipped than

2516
03:13:09,959 --> 03:13:15,000
their Russian counterparts. Why because they were getting arms from overseas,

2517
03:13:15,280 --> 03:13:19,399
They were getting arms from other places. They were better

2518
03:13:19,479 --> 03:13:25,559
financed the police forces there. You're not really used to

2519
03:13:25,639 --> 03:13:32,159
violence when you have a monoculture. But introduce a foreign element,

2520
03:13:32,639 --> 03:13:36,159
especially a foreign element as such, and here's what happens.

2521
03:13:37,319 --> 03:13:39,520
Zinus forces were better equipped and had more men under

2522
03:13:39,600 --> 03:13:41,760
arms in their opponents, and by the end of Israel's

2523
03:13:42,000 --> 03:13:45,120
quote unquote War of Independence, over seven hundred and fifty

2524
03:13:45,159 --> 03:13:52,159
thousand Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled. Zionis

2525
03:13:52,200 --> 03:13:55,200
had succeeded in their first half of their goal. Israel,

2526
03:13:55,280 --> 03:13:58,600
the self described Jewish state had come into existence, so

2527
03:13:59,600 --> 03:14:03,040
that seven hundred and fifty thousand Palestinian men, women and

2528
03:14:03,120 --> 03:14:07,079
children were ruthlessly expelled from their homes and their homes

2529
03:14:07,079 --> 03:14:12,280
were taken over by Jews. They call that in Palestine

2530
03:14:12,399 --> 03:14:17,520
and in the Arab world the nakba. It's the catastrophe.

2531
03:14:17,719 --> 03:14:20,559
When you mentioned it to a Zionist or a Jew nowadays,

2532
03:14:20,680 --> 03:14:24,920
especially one who is militant Zionist, they will say, that's

2533
03:14:24,920 --> 03:14:33,280
a made up term. You mean, like pilgrim. Only one

2534
03:14:33,319 --> 03:14:35,639
group in the world is allowed to have a term

2535
03:14:35,760 --> 03:14:43,639
for their for what's allegedly happened to them. As Israeli

2536
03:14:43,719 --> 03:14:47,399
historian Tom Sege writes, quote, Israel was born of terror,

2537
03:14:47,639 --> 03:14:51,399
war and revolution, and its creation required a measure of

2538
03:14:51,440 --> 03:14:56,920
fanaticism and cruelty. The massacres were carried out by Zionist forces,

2539
03:14:56,920 --> 03:15:00,319
including Zionist militias that had engaged in terrorist attacks in

2540
03:15:00,319 --> 03:15:05,399
the area for years proceeding to partition resolution. Okay, so

2541
03:15:06,920 --> 03:15:10,360
what is the I mean, anyone who knows anything knows this,

2542
03:15:12,079 --> 03:15:18,600
but hold on something on my glasses bothered me. Violence

2543
03:15:18,639 --> 03:15:22,319
between the footnotes is violence between Zionis and Palestinians. Began

2544
03:15:22,319 --> 03:15:25,719
in the nineteen twenties, with both sides at times killing civilians.

2545
03:15:26,200 --> 03:15:31,079
Palestinian uprisings against Zionist colonialism occurred in nineteen twenty and

2546
03:15:31,120 --> 03:15:34,120
nineteen twenty nine, and against the British in nineteen thirty six.

2547
03:15:35,120 --> 03:15:38,280
That's from Ilin. I think it's Ilin Papa. I can't

2548
03:15:38,280 --> 03:15:41,319
remember his first name, but Papa is ethnic cleansing. I

2549
03:15:41,360 --> 03:15:44,319
think it's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, page fourteen.

2550
03:15:44,879 --> 03:15:48,639
Zionis created the Hagana in nineteen twenty same book, The

2551
03:15:48,719 --> 03:15:53,520
Irgun Late lumi In was founded in nineteen thirty one.

2552
03:15:53,600 --> 03:15:56,319
Split off from the Hagana, The String Gang was founded

2553
03:15:56,360 --> 03:15:59,799
in nineteen forty. Betsar, a youth movement, was founded by

2554
03:16:00,120 --> 03:16:04,440
iv Jabutenski in nineteen twenty three in Europe, with training

2555
03:16:04,479 --> 03:16:08,440
camps dotted about Europe. That's from Bell's Terror Out of Zion,

2556
03:16:08,559 --> 03:16:12,639
page nineteen. Historian Jay Bauerbell reports that members who went

2557
03:16:12,680 --> 03:16:17,639
to Palestine foresaw Zion remed. Foresaw quote Zion redeemed through

2558
03:16:17,639 --> 03:16:25,200
a blood sacrifice. I wonder what that means. In the

2559
03:16:25,280 --> 03:16:28,319
nineteen thirties, to Irigoan perpetrated a number of attacks on

2560
03:16:28,360 --> 03:16:31,879
Palestinian civilians from Bell's terror at a Zion page twenty

2561
03:16:31,959 --> 03:16:36,280
to twenty one. Pepe writes that the nineteen thirty six

2562
03:16:36,319 --> 03:16:39,280
Arab revolt gave the Haganah a chance to practice military

2563
03:16:39,319 --> 03:16:42,959
tactics quote, mostly in the form of retaliatory operations against

2564
03:16:42,959 --> 03:16:47,159
such targets as roadside snipers for thieves taking goods from

2565
03:16:47,200 --> 03:16:50,520
a kabbutz. The main objective, however, seems to have been

2566
03:16:50,559 --> 03:16:55,040
to intimidate Palestinian communities who happen to live in proximity

2567
03:16:55,079 --> 03:17:08,079
to Jewish settlements. Right let's see, Okay. The massacres were

2568
03:17:08,079 --> 03:17:11,399
carried out by Ziona's forces, including Zionis militias that engaged

2569
03:17:11,440 --> 03:17:14,479
in terrorist tacks in the area for years preceding the

2570
03:17:14,479 --> 03:17:18,639
Partition resolution. Descriptions of the massacres by both Palestinian and

2571
03:17:18,680 --> 03:17:23,319
Israelis are nightmarish, and Israeli eyewitness reported that at the

2572
03:17:23,399 --> 03:17:28,520
village of Al Dawaima, the children they killed by breaking

2573
03:17:28,920 --> 03:17:32,040
the children they killed by breaking their heads with stones.

2574
03:17:32,760 --> 03:17:35,600
There was not a house without dead. One soldier boasted

2575
03:17:35,600 --> 03:17:37,879
that he had raped the woman and then shot her.

2576
03:17:39,959 --> 03:17:42,920
One Palestinian woman testified that a man shot her. A

2577
03:17:43,000 --> 03:17:46,440
nine month old pregnant sister and then cut her stomach

2578
03:17:46,520 --> 03:17:52,680
open with a butcher knife. Okay, well, I mean I've

2579
03:17:52,719 --> 03:18:01,959
heard exaggerations and ridiculous claims from both sides. Now what

2580
03:18:02,040 --> 03:18:05,559
I know is people are being killed, and just people

2581
03:18:05,639 --> 03:18:08,440
who have lived there, whose families have lived there for

2582
03:18:08,479 --> 03:18:15,680
a thousand years, are being being removed, and a lot

2583
03:18:15,680 --> 03:18:18,719
of people are being killed. And I know that women,

2584
03:18:19,120 --> 03:18:21,959
that Palestinian women were raped by Jewish men because I

2585
03:18:22,000 --> 03:18:24,360
saw a documentary with a bunch of the men who

2586
03:18:24,479 --> 03:18:27,200
participated in this, and one of them was bragging about it.

2587
03:18:28,879 --> 03:18:32,479
So unless he's lying, which I mean, there's a really

2588
03:18:32,479 --> 03:18:38,719
good chance he's lying. But you know, one of the

2589
03:18:38,719 --> 03:18:42,360
better documented massacres occurred in a small neutral Palestinian village

2590
03:18:42,399 --> 03:18:46,479
called Diary Yassan Yesin in April nineteen forty eight, before

2591
03:18:46,520 --> 03:18:49,479
any Arab armies had joined the war. So I know

2592
03:18:49,559 --> 03:18:53,360
that again they will tell you Arabs just poured in

2593
03:18:53,440 --> 03:18:55,399
from a And you know I used it last time,

2594
03:18:55,520 --> 03:18:57,959
the or not last time, maybe a couple episodes ago.

2595
03:18:58,040 --> 03:19:01,200
The example of if al Obama was invaded by a

2596
03:19:01,200 --> 03:19:07,040
foreign force, I assume knowing that problems there'd be problems

2597
03:19:07,040 --> 03:19:10,680
from coming from elsewhere, that even if the even though

2598
03:19:10,680 --> 03:19:14,959
you would expect the government, the federal government to do

2599
03:19:15,000 --> 03:19:17,719
something about it, but if we have some lunatic leftists

2600
03:19:17,760 --> 03:19:20,360
in charge, it may not care about Alabama, but people,

2601
03:19:20,399 --> 03:19:26,120
but forces from Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, even northern Florida, the

2602
03:19:26,200 --> 03:19:30,440
Panhandle may send forces to help because they know that

2603
03:19:30,479 --> 03:19:36,159
they may be next. Yeah, this wasn't We've already had.

2604
03:19:36,239 --> 03:19:43,280
Monacham began brag that Jews brought not only terrorism to

2605
03:19:43,920 --> 03:19:46,280
the Middle East, but they brought it to the world.

2606
03:19:48,280 --> 03:19:51,360
What you will hear is Zionists argue is that these

2607
03:19:51,440 --> 03:19:54,639
Arab armies that were that were going to come and

2608
03:19:54,760 --> 03:19:58,159
join in the war against Jews, against these invading Jews

2609
03:19:58,200 --> 03:20:05,920
and Zionists are terrorists. They're reacting to terrorism. It's just

2610
03:20:06,000 --> 03:20:09,360
like in Russia when revolutionaries took up arms and tried

2611
03:20:09,360 --> 03:20:14,440
to overthrow the government. Whenever anybody fought back, they were

2612
03:20:14,440 --> 03:20:20,840
called pogrammists or murderers or people trying to commit genocide.

2613
03:20:21,639 --> 03:20:26,360
Same thing here. A Swiss Red Cross representative was one

2614
03:20:26,399 --> 03:20:28,479
of the first to arrive on the scene, where he

2615
03:20:28,520 --> 03:20:30,879
found two hundred and fifty four dead, including one hundred

2616
03:20:30,879 --> 03:20:36,959
and forty five women, thirty five of them pregnant. Witnesses

2617
03:20:37,000 --> 03:20:41,879
reported that the attacks attackers lined up families, men, women, grandparents,

2618
03:20:41,879 --> 03:20:46,120
and children, even infants, and shot them. Okay, I don't

2619
03:20:46,120 --> 03:20:50,120
know about the whole infants and children thing. I am not.

2620
03:20:51,399 --> 03:20:55,920
I believe the men, women and grandparents, so I'm willing

2621
03:20:55,959 --> 03:20:57,920
to steal man it and give the benefit of the doubt.

2622
03:20:58,680 --> 03:21:04,120
Of course, zionis all right. An eyewitness, a future colonel

2623
03:21:04,159 --> 03:21:07,399
in the Israeli military, later wrote of the militia members,

2624
03:21:07,879 --> 03:21:09,920
they didn't know how to fight, but as murderers they

2625
03:21:09,959 --> 03:21:15,799
were pretty good. So just bragging. Let's see. That's from

2626
03:21:16,200 --> 03:21:20,360
Daniel McGowan, a Jewish eyewitness an interview with Mayor Paiel

2627
03:21:20,959 --> 03:21:24,280
in Remembering Diarieya San. The Future of Israel and Palestine

2628
03:21:24,319 --> 03:21:28,360
by Daniel McGowan and Mark Ellis, book nineteen ninety eight,

2629
03:21:28,399 --> 03:21:33,280
page forty. Israeli military historian Colonel Meyer Payal, who was

2630
03:21:33,360 --> 03:21:36,840
then a member of the Haganah terrorist organization. You can

2631
03:21:36,879 --> 03:21:39,479
actually if you go on the Jewish virtual library, they

2632
03:21:39,520 --> 03:21:42,840
will call it a terrorist organization. Was that Diariea San

2633
03:21:43,399 --> 03:21:46,840
acting as a communications officer and witnessed parts of the massacre.

2634
03:21:47,120 --> 03:21:49,760
I'm sure whenever you want to say that you didn't.

2635
03:21:50,879 --> 03:21:54,239
Whenever someone wants to say they weren't taking part, they

2636
03:21:54,239 --> 03:22:00,120
always say communications officer or medic or something like that. Anyway,

2637
03:22:02,680 --> 03:22:05,680
the Red Cross representative who found the bodies at Diaryusin

2638
03:22:06,600 --> 03:22:09,319
arrived in time to see some of the killing and action.

2639
03:22:09,520 --> 03:22:12,040
He wrote in his diary that Zionist militia members were

2640
03:22:12,079 --> 03:22:14,719
still entering houses with guns and knives when he arrived.

2641
03:22:15,040 --> 03:22:17,639
He saw one young a Jewish woman carrying a blood

2642
03:22:17,639 --> 03:22:20,959
covered dagger, and saw another stab and old couple in

2643
03:22:21,639 --> 03:22:24,760
in their doorway. The representative wrote that the scene reminded

2644
03:22:24,840 --> 03:22:29,600
him of SS troops he had seen in Athens. No

2645
03:22:29,680 --> 03:22:35,719
idea what that means. Richard Catling, British Assistant Inspector General

2646
03:22:35,760 --> 03:22:40,399
for the Criminal Investigation Division, reported on sexual atrocities committed

2647
03:22:40,399 --> 03:22:43,879
by Zionist forces. Quote many young girls were raped and

2648
03:22:43,959 --> 03:22:47,239
later slaughtered. He reported all the women were also molested.

2649
03:22:47,639 --> 03:22:52,399
This I do believe because I've heard Zionists at the time,

2650
03:22:52,520 --> 03:22:56,520
Jews at the time, interviews with them later in years,

2651
03:22:56,680 --> 03:22:59,559
and they talked about this, and one of them went

2652
03:22:59,639 --> 03:23:03,200
as far as to say, is you know someone asked, well,

2653
03:23:03,200 --> 03:23:04,760
what does your wife think of this? He's like, I

2654
03:23:04,879 --> 03:23:08,479
never told my wife that I did these things. Do

2655
03:23:08,520 --> 03:23:11,399
you think it would even matter? Really? You think you

2656
03:23:11,440 --> 03:23:15,760
think that matter to his wife? I don't think so.

2657
03:23:15,840 --> 03:23:18,840
The diary you've seeing attack was perpetrated by two Zionist

2658
03:23:18,879 --> 03:23:22,479
militias and coordinated with the main Zionist forces, whose elite

2659
03:23:22,520 --> 03:23:25,559
unit participated in part of the operation. The head of

2660
03:23:25,600 --> 03:23:29,959
the two militias, Monacha Began, and Yitzak Shamir, later became

2661
03:23:30,040 --> 03:23:34,719
prime ministers of Israel. But it's the Arabs that are terrorists.

2662
03:23:37,760 --> 03:23:41,479
It's amazing to me that you can't call Israel a

2663
03:23:41,600 --> 03:23:46,200
terrorist state. I mean, I understand that it's it's over

2664
03:23:46,239 --> 03:23:51,879
the top, it's hyperbolic, and too many goofy fucking leftists

2665
03:23:52,239 --> 03:23:55,799
pieces of shit say that, But I mean, literally, you

2666
03:23:55,840 --> 03:23:59,239
had Monocha Began and Yitzak Shamir Minoica Began, who says

2667
03:23:59,319 --> 03:24:03,680
we invented terrorism, brought it into the world and brought

2668
03:24:03,719 --> 03:24:06,319
it to the Middle East, and Ytsak Shamir, I mean

2669
03:24:06,440 --> 03:24:11,159
two who were literal terrorists and killed innocence and basically

2670
03:24:11,159 --> 03:24:15,360
ethnically cleansed the land. That they became prime ministers and

2671
03:24:15,440 --> 03:24:18,159
you're not. But you're not allowed to call it a

2672
03:24:18,280 --> 03:24:25,760
terrorist state, no matter how lefty bullshit it sounds. Began,

2673
03:24:25,879 --> 03:24:28,879
head of the Ergun militia, sent the following message to

2674
03:24:28,920 --> 03:24:33,120
his troops about their victory at diaryy Sin, quoting this

2675
03:24:33,159 --> 03:24:36,520
is all gonna be one quote. Accept my congratulations on

2676
03:24:36,559 --> 03:24:40,040
the splendid act of conquest. Convey my regards to all

2677
03:24:40,079 --> 03:24:42,840
the commanders and soldiers. We shake your hands. We are

2678
03:24:42,840 --> 03:24:45,319
all proud of the excellent leadership, in the fighting spirit,

2679
03:24:45,360 --> 03:24:48,639
in this great attack. We stand to attention in memory

2680
03:24:48,680 --> 03:24:51,920
of the slain, We lovingly shake the hands of the wounded.

2681
03:24:52,000 --> 03:24:54,840
Tell the soldiers you have made history in Israel with

2682
03:24:54,879 --> 03:24:58,840
your attack and your conquests. Continue thus until victory. As

2683
03:24:58,959 --> 03:25:03,200
in Diary Sin, so everyone everywhere, we will attack and

2684
03:25:03,239 --> 03:25:10,079
smite the enemy. God, God, thou hast chosen us for conquest.

2685
03:25:11,360 --> 03:25:15,399
Approximately six months later, Began, who had publicly taken credit

2686
03:25:15,760 --> 03:25:18,879
the for other terrorist attacks, including blowing up the King

2687
03:25:18,959 --> 03:25:22,719
David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing ninety one people, came on

2688
03:25:22,799 --> 03:25:29,920
a tour of America. Isn't that Great? The tourist sponsors

2689
03:25:29,959 --> 03:25:34,719
included famous playwright Ben Hecht, a fervent Zionist, who applauded

2690
03:25:34,879 --> 03:25:40,959
urgoon violence and eventually included eleven senators, twelve governors, seventy congressmen,

2691
03:25:41,280 --> 03:25:50,920
seventeen justices, and numerous other public officials. Yeah. Yeah, If

2692
03:25:50,959 --> 03:25:55,040
you want to understand why no one in our government

2693
03:25:55,159 --> 03:26:04,719
will decry or condemn Israeli violence, you know where Israel

2694
03:26:05,079 --> 03:26:10,520
just launches bombs at Tehran, a capital city, a city

2695
03:26:10,760 --> 03:26:18,239
of with civilians. But as soon as Iran launches missiles

2696
03:26:18,280 --> 03:26:25,159
back and they land in Tel Aviv, where Israel uses

2697
03:26:26,799 --> 03:26:31,319
human shields to hide Unit eighty two hundred and a

2698
03:26:31,360 --> 03:26:34,959
bunch of their basically a bunch of their Their intelligence

2699
03:26:35,000 --> 03:26:38,079
and military outfits are not like out on the outskirts

2700
03:26:38,120 --> 03:26:40,319
of town where they can be No, they're in the

2701
03:26:40,319 --> 03:26:42,559
They're in the middle of town. But you will hear

2702
03:26:42,639 --> 03:26:49,319
Jews scream all day about human shields. So we watched

2703
03:26:49,600 --> 03:26:55,440
a launch on Tehran, saw apartment buildings hit like, oh,

2704
03:26:55,479 --> 03:26:58,959
we took out a leader probably and his family. The

2705
03:26:59,040 --> 03:27:02,879
family below beneath it now lived above it. Half the

2706
03:27:02,920 --> 03:27:07,440
people in the building perfectly fun. No one in our

2707
03:27:07,479 --> 03:27:11,360
government will condemn it. Half to people in this country

2708
03:27:11,360 --> 03:27:14,639
won't condemn it. But as soon as Iran launches back,

2709
03:27:15,200 --> 03:27:17,760
that needs to be condemned. I mean, this is the

2710
03:27:17,879 --> 03:27:21,239
same thing. They cry out in anger as they strike you,

2711
03:27:21,280 --> 03:27:23,879
they cry out in pain as they strike you. Oh

2712
03:27:23,920 --> 03:27:26,399
my god, look what I'm doing to you. You made

2713
03:27:26,440 --> 03:27:33,000
me do this. Look at all the pain. So back

2714
03:27:33,040 --> 03:27:39,879
in nineteen forty eight, eleven senators, twelve governors, seventy congressman,

2715
03:27:40,000 --> 03:27:43,399
seventeen justices, and numerous other public officials came out to

2716
03:27:43,440 --> 03:27:49,200
celebrate Monoco bag And I guarantee you they knew everything

2717
03:27:49,799 --> 03:27:52,280
that they did over there, the King David hotel, bombing,

2718
03:27:52,360 --> 03:28:01,000
Diario Sin, all of it, all of it. The State,

2719
03:28:02,399 --> 03:28:05,879
the State Department. Yeah, that makes that's about right. The

2720
03:28:05,920 --> 03:28:10,000
State Department, fully aware of his violent activities in Palestine,

2721
03:28:10,000 --> 03:28:14,360
tried to reject Began's visa, but was overruled by Truman.

2722
03:28:17,360 --> 03:28:21,079
I mean probably a manual seller was in there beating

2723
03:28:21,120 --> 03:28:26,360
on the resolute desk right saying we'll run you out

2724
03:28:26,360 --> 03:28:32,360
of town. Began later proudly admitted his terrorism in an

2725
03:28:32,399 --> 03:28:36,079
interview for American television when the interviewer asked him, how

2726
03:28:36,120 --> 03:28:38,840
does it feel in light of all that's going on

2727
03:28:38,959 --> 03:28:41,239
to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East?

2728
03:28:41,360 --> 03:28:44,440
Began proclaimed in the Middle East, in all the world.

2729
03:28:44,799 --> 03:28:47,159
She just repeated this. But we went over this earlier,

2730
03:28:48,600 --> 03:28:55,719
all right, Chapter twelve, US front Groups for Zionist militarism.

2731
03:28:56,360 --> 03:28:58,479
See how long this is? So I don't know how

2732
03:28:58,520 --> 03:29:01,600
long we're going to go here. This might be a

2733
03:29:01,799 --> 03:29:08,319
little bit long, but ah fine. A number of groups

2734
03:29:08,360 --> 03:29:12,399
operated in the US to support Zionist paramilitary groups in Palestine.

2735
03:29:13,040 --> 03:29:17,079
These often employed clandestine methods and deceptive names. I mean,

2736
03:29:17,159 --> 03:29:21,120
I don't think I think we've already seen that the

2737
03:29:21,200 --> 03:29:23,879
general American public had little idea about the true nature

2738
03:29:23,879 --> 03:29:28,239
of these groups and what they were supporting. Hey, Irgun

2739
03:29:28,319 --> 03:29:35,159
Delegation ll Kuk as Peter Bergson, a covert Iraguon delegation

2740
03:29:35,520 --> 03:29:39,719
Ergoon is a terrorist group. They openly admit that it

2741
03:29:39,760 --> 03:29:43,840
was a terrorist group. A covert Irgun Delegation operated in

2742
03:29:43,879 --> 03:29:46,520
the US from the late nineteen thirties through nineteen forty

2743
03:29:46,559 --> 03:29:50,879
eight under a half dozen front organizations, including Emergency Committee

2744
03:29:50,920 --> 03:29:55,040
to Save European Jewry and American Friends of a Jewish Palestine.

2745
03:29:56,520 --> 03:29:59,760
The main leader was Hillel Kuk, the senior Ragoon official

2746
03:29:59,799 --> 03:30:03,319
were outside Palestine. Upon coming to the US, he assumed

2747
03:30:03,319 --> 03:30:07,159
the alias Peter Bergsen and the group is often called

2748
03:30:07,319 --> 03:30:12,079
the Bergsen Boys. Books been written about the Bergs and Boys.

2749
03:30:13,079 --> 03:30:16,639
The other leader was Yetzak ben Ami, father of Jeremy

2750
03:30:16,680 --> 03:30:23,040
ben Ami, founder of today's lobbying organization J Street. They're

2751
03:30:23,079 --> 03:30:28,479
still here people, they didn't go anywhere. Also closely involved

2752
03:30:28,520 --> 03:30:33,239
was Aery Zabetinsky, son of right wing Zionist leader Vladimir

2753
03:30:33,399 --> 03:30:38,120
zev Jabutinsky. Also associated with the group was Mayir Kahana,

2754
03:30:38,200 --> 03:30:41,559
who twenty years later founded the Violent Jewish Defense League.

2755
03:30:43,040 --> 03:30:45,840
Though historians have documented that their purpose in coming to

2756
03:30:45,920 --> 03:30:48,239
the US was to raise money for ergu and activities

2757
03:30:48,239 --> 03:30:51,000
in Palestine, this was unknown to the multitude of high

2758
03:30:51,079 --> 03:30:55,760
level supporters the group even eventually required. The supporters included

2759
03:30:55,920 --> 03:31:00,959
Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dorothy Parker, Herbert Hoover, will Rogers,

2760
03:31:01,040 --> 03:31:06,000
Junior Labor leader William Green, US Solicitor General Fowler Harper,

2761
03:31:06,239 --> 03:31:12,799
and US Interior Secretary Harold Ikeys. The FBI, however, suspected

2762
03:31:12,840 --> 03:31:16,719
this illegal fundraising. It investigated the Front Group several times,

2763
03:31:16,760 --> 03:31:19,879
but largely bundled the investigations and failed to produce evidence.

2764
03:31:20,479 --> 03:31:25,360
As author Raphael Metaf divulges quote. In fact, according to Bergsen,

2765
03:31:25,440 --> 03:31:31,479
lobbyist baruk Rabine Wits funds raised by the bergen Bergsnites

2766
03:31:31,760 --> 03:31:35,200
in the United States were indeed secretly transferred to the Iragon.

2767
03:31:35,559 --> 03:31:39,159
The methods of transfer were simply so well concealed that

2768
03:31:39,200 --> 03:31:48,360
the FBI could not uncover them. Well, when you own

2769
03:31:48,399 --> 03:31:55,280
half the politicians, right, oh, now they own all of them.

2770
03:31:56,600 --> 03:32:02,440
Their biographer, Israeli professor Judith but Baumel rights at the

2771
03:32:02,520 --> 03:32:06,200
Ragoon delegation quickly set about integrating themselves into the social

2772
03:32:06,200 --> 03:32:11,040
and political culture of their temporary home. They quickly grasped

2773
03:32:11,120 --> 03:32:14,879
the public mood, molded to a large extent by propaganda

2774
03:32:14,920 --> 03:32:18,280
and public relations, was a dominant force in the American

2775
03:32:18,399 --> 03:32:23,000
system of direct representation, and they soon became masters of

2776
03:32:23,120 --> 03:32:28,719
media manipulation. I love that it says the political culture

2777
03:32:28,760 --> 03:32:33,319
of their temporary home, which so many of them don't

2778
03:32:33,360 --> 03:32:44,040
want to leave. Just know, consider the amounts that don't

2779
03:32:44,040 --> 03:32:46,520
consider this to be their home. But they won't leave.

2780
03:32:47,079 --> 03:32:53,719
But they won't leave us alone. They won't. They continue

2781
03:32:54,360 --> 03:33:03,360
to influence everything we do politically at the highest levels. Thus,

2782
03:33:03,399 --> 03:33:06,159
besides their secret funneling of money for terrorist activities in

2783
03:33:06,200 --> 03:33:10,280
Palestine against Palestinians, the British and members of the Jewish community.

2784
03:33:11,040 --> 03:33:15,079
The Aragoon delegation engaged in numerous public activities pushing for

2785
03:33:15,120 --> 03:33:18,120
the Jewish state in Palestine. They lobbied Congress and the

2786
03:33:18,120 --> 03:33:21,360
White House, organized a march on Washington, DC of five

2787
03:33:21,440 --> 03:33:25,159
hundred rabbis, and placed full page ads in newspapers around

2788
03:33:25,200 --> 03:33:28,920
the US. They also produced a pageant called We Will

2789
03:33:28,959 --> 03:33:34,079
Never Die, celebrating the Jewish contribution to Western civilization, written

2790
03:33:34,079 --> 03:33:37,840
by Ben Heck, directed by moss Hart, featuring music by

2791
03:33:37,920 --> 03:33:42,760
Kurt wil and starring Edward G. Robinson. The cast also

2792
03:33:42,760 --> 03:33:46,879
included Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, one hundred Yeshiva

2793
03:33:46,920 --> 03:33:52,520
students from Brooklyn, and fifty Orthodox rabbis. Forty thousand attended

2794
03:33:52,520 --> 03:33:56,239
the Extravaganza's New York performances. It then went on to

2795
03:33:56,399 --> 03:33:59,879
play in most of America's largest cities. The group produced

2796
03:33:59,840 --> 03:34:02,280
several other plays and rallies, one of which started a

2797
03:34:02,319 --> 03:34:11,200
young Marlon Brando and brought in one million dollars. We

2798
03:34:11,319 --> 03:34:17,040
never had a chance, but at least now we know, right,

2799
03:34:17,760 --> 03:34:21,639
people didn't even know at that point there were some

2800
03:34:23,719 --> 03:34:28,200
Look what happened to him? Think of the original America. First,

2801
03:34:28,239 --> 03:34:34,399
the Real America. First Bamel reports to an American Jewish

2802
03:34:34,520 --> 03:34:38,239
leader who had immigrated to Palestine wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt

2803
03:34:38,280 --> 03:34:42,000
asking her to withdraw support from the Brando production because

2804
03:34:42,040 --> 03:34:46,200
its profits were being used to fund terrorist activity. Eleanor

2805
03:34:46,239 --> 03:34:49,639
ignored this advice, apparently unaware that it was well founded.

2806
03:34:50,479 --> 03:34:53,120
During World War Two, the various organizations created by the

2807
03:34:53,239 --> 03:34:57,680
Urguin Delegation frequently pushed for rescuing European Jews from the Nazis,

2808
03:34:58,239 --> 03:35:00,840
but one of their major demands was the creation of

2809
03:35:00,879 --> 03:35:06,920
a Jewish army of stateless and Palestinian Jews. The idea

2810
03:35:07,000 --> 03:35:09,200
was that the Allies should create a Jewish army to

2811
03:35:09,280 --> 03:35:15,280
fight alongside them against the Nazis. However, certain right wing

2812
03:35:15,399 --> 03:35:19,920
Zionists had sought this army even before the Nazi Holocaust began,

2813
03:35:20,479 --> 03:35:23,000
and some analysts argue it was a plan with a

2814
03:35:23,000 --> 03:35:26,920
mixed agenda. Historian William Rubinstein writes, quote, it is rather

2815
03:35:27,000 --> 03:35:30,639
difficult to believe that Bergson's implausible proposal did not have

2816
03:35:30,760 --> 03:35:33,680
far more to do with creating the nucleus of a

2817
03:35:33,760 --> 03:35:37,040
Jewish Palestinian force to be used against the British and

2818
03:35:37,079 --> 03:35:40,879
the Arabs than with saving Europe's Jews from the Nazis.

2819
03:35:41,520 --> 03:35:44,479
So basically, what are you're saying is you're saying this

2820
03:35:44,600 --> 03:35:50,040
wasn't supposed to do anything to help fight the Nazis.

2821
03:35:50,479 --> 03:35:53,719
This was to help fight This was to fight against

2822
03:35:53,799 --> 03:36:00,360
Palestinians and British and the Arabs. One supporter, best selling

2823
03:36:00,399 --> 03:36:04,840
author Pierre van Poussan, resigned when he learned that various

2824
03:36:04,840 --> 03:36:08,600
delegations spawned committees to save Jews were all being run

2825
03:36:08,639 --> 03:36:11,319
by the same small group, and they were all tied

2826
03:36:11,319 --> 03:36:17,520
to horrific terrorists actions in Palestine. I'm just reading this

2827
03:36:17,799 --> 03:36:22,840
talking about how Jews went to Palestine and just became

2828
03:36:23,280 --> 03:36:28,159
went there and brought terrorism there. Yet you say this

2829
03:36:28,840 --> 03:36:31,239
to Zionists and they attack you, and they say, no,

2830
03:36:31,399 --> 03:36:35,840
that didn't happen, or they make excuses. It wasn't terrorism.

2831
03:36:35,920 --> 03:36:39,959
It was revolutionary. It was our war for independence, the

2832
03:36:40,000 --> 03:36:42,719
people invading land and saying that this is our war

2833
03:36:42,760 --> 03:36:49,559
for independence. He declared that he did not believe that

2834
03:36:49,639 --> 03:36:52,399
he had that they had the means or intention to

2835
03:36:52,479 --> 03:36:55,879
truly save Jews from the Nazis, writing quote to speak bluntly,

2836
03:36:56,319 --> 03:36:58,680
that Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe is

2837
03:36:58,719 --> 03:37:02,040
a hoax. And judgment a very cruel hoax perpetrated on

2838
03:37:02,079 --> 03:37:08,719
the American public, Jewish and non Jewish alike. Some at

2839
03:37:08,760 --> 03:37:11,719
the time and since have considered the delegations efforts heroic,

2840
03:37:11,840 --> 03:37:13,840
but critics point out that it did not manage to

2841
03:37:13,879 --> 03:37:17,120
rescue any Jews during the Nazi Holocaust, though it may

2842
03:37:17,200 --> 03:37:20,159
have helped contribute to the pressure on President Roosevelt to

2843
03:37:20,239 --> 03:37:23,799
later create a war refugee board. I mean, it didn't.

2844
03:37:24,959 --> 03:37:29,959
It didn't help, to consider it, as a critics point out,

2845
03:37:30,399 --> 03:37:35,200
during though it helped. So, I mean, what was the

2846
03:37:35,239 --> 03:37:44,280
purpose of it If these if they're fellow Jews in

2847
03:37:44,440 --> 03:37:52,159
Europe were in danger, if we had if they're Americans

2848
03:37:52,280 --> 03:37:58,760
in danger in another country, we'd probably do anything we

2849
03:37:58,799 --> 03:38:03,000
could to get them out or help them at least

2850
03:38:03,040 --> 03:38:09,239
a sane when we had a sane government. But they

2851
03:38:09,280 --> 03:38:18,680
don't want that. They honestly believe that it's all right

2852
03:38:18,719 --> 03:38:24,120
to sacrifice people as long as it helps us achieve

2853
03:38:24,159 --> 03:38:29,040
our goals. The group had numerous opponents among Jewish leaders

2854
03:38:29,079 --> 03:38:31,959
about Zionists and anti Zionists. Some, unlike the general public,

2855
03:38:32,000 --> 03:38:35,079
were aware of their secret connections to Manallcolm Wagan's Oregon

2856
03:38:35,840 --> 03:38:39,239
whose violent tactics many found a borrent, particularly when they

2857
03:38:39,280 --> 03:38:42,479
targeted the British at a time that England was fighting

2858
03:38:42,520 --> 03:38:45,079
to defeat Hitler, the most effective way, many felt to

2859
03:38:45,159 --> 03:38:50,360
rescue Jews. It's amazing that while the while the world

2860
03:38:50,479 --> 03:38:55,760
was at war, while the whole world basically came together

2861
03:38:55,920 --> 03:39:01,440
to fight fascism and took the side of communism. And

2862
03:39:01,559 --> 03:39:05,440
I know that causes so much cognitive dissonance in people.

2863
03:39:06,760 --> 03:39:09,879
I love bringing that up to people when they talk

2864
03:39:09,920 --> 03:39:12,120
about how we had to defeat the Nazis, and I said, yeah,

2865
03:39:12,120 --> 03:39:14,319
by fighting on the side of communism. And then you

2866
03:39:14,319 --> 03:39:19,120
know they get half of Europe too. Uh yeah. Choke

2867
03:39:19,239 --> 03:39:31,159
on it. Choke on it, motherfuckers. Biographer Baumel writes that

2868
03:39:31,200 --> 03:39:35,399
the more mainstream Zionist establishment was disturbed by the clandestine

2869
03:39:35,479 --> 03:39:38,120
nature of the committee's formation and the absence of any

2870
03:39:38,200 --> 03:39:43,040
hint as its intention. This division among Zionists was largely

2871
03:39:43,120 --> 03:39:46,159
hidden from view, however, as a delegation aim for the

2872
03:39:46,159 --> 03:39:50,440
American man on the street, using tantalizing slogans, illustrated advertisements,

2873
03:39:50,479 --> 03:39:56,959
and seductive curiosity wedding gimmicks. Memo notes that Irgun's delegations

2874
03:39:57,680 --> 03:40:01,319
the Irgun delegation's primary triumph was to understand the power

2875
03:40:01,479 --> 03:40:09,040
of Madison Avenue. Yeah. Author Rafael Metoff describes the importance

2876
03:40:09,079 --> 03:40:12,079
of that understanding quote, The violent behavior of the Jewish

2877
03:40:12,079 --> 03:40:15,879
forces in Palestine would have surely undermined American public sympathy

2878
03:40:15,879 --> 03:40:18,680
for the Zionist cause if not for the efforts of

2879
03:40:18,680 --> 03:40:22,959
the Jewish underground's American friends. This public relations crusade was

2880
03:40:23,040 --> 03:40:27,639
critical in building American support. So to continue, I got

2881
03:40:27,719 --> 03:40:34,120
sidetracked before. While everyone's off fighting and dying in Europe,

2882
03:40:35,440 --> 03:40:39,680
these people are invading a land and bringing terrorism to

2883
03:40:39,719 --> 03:40:48,280
the Middle East and killing and raping and starting a

2884
03:40:48,319 --> 03:40:53,840
propaganda I mean starting a widespread propaganda campaign that includes

2885
03:40:55,040 --> 03:40:59,520
numerous politicians in this country to support them, know what

2886
03:40:59,520 --> 03:41:07,639
they do while men are dying, while seventy million are

2887
03:41:07,760 --> 03:41:13,840
dying in Europe. After World War II, the delegation became

2888
03:41:13,879 --> 03:41:17,239
involved in the sometimes secretive, sometimes very public movement of

2889
03:41:17,280 --> 03:41:21,520
European Jews to Palestine. One purpose Bena Me explained was

2890
03:41:21,559 --> 03:41:26,520
to build up the Ergun terror forces. Quote, we must

2891
03:41:26,520 --> 03:41:29,200
build a network in Europe capable of moving thousands of

2892
03:41:29,239 --> 03:41:33,680
Iragoun soldiers to Palestine. This intention, however, was not announced

2893
03:41:33,680 --> 03:41:38,600
to the general public. Bergs and KuK's uncle was Rabbi

2894
03:41:38,639 --> 03:41:44,399
Avrahim Yitsakkuk, often known as Rabbi Kuk the elder. Rabbi

2895
03:41:44,520 --> 03:41:49,440
Kuk was originally from Eastern Europe, Shocking had worked toward

2896
03:41:49,479 --> 03:41:53,680
the Balfour Declaration in Britain. Shocking and eventually became the

2897
03:41:53,760 --> 03:41:58,280
chief Rabbi of Palestine, because, of course he did. Perhaps

2898
03:41:58,280 --> 03:42:01,399
his most significant accomplishment was to devise an ideology that

2899
03:42:01,479 --> 03:42:06,680
merged a kabbalistic version of religious Judaism with political Zionism,

2900
03:42:06,760 --> 03:42:11,680
founding an extremist religious Zionism that continues in existence today. Again,

2901
03:42:12,280 --> 03:42:15,440
go back and read, go back and listen to my reading,

2902
03:42:15,600 --> 03:42:18,159
or go find a copy of the book Jewish History

2903
03:42:18,239 --> 03:42:24,280
Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak, a Jew from who lived

2904
03:42:24,280 --> 03:42:28,840
in Israel, and he will explain to you how Judaism

2905
03:42:28,920 --> 03:42:33,719
today has nothing to do with the Bible. They're not

2906
03:42:33,799 --> 03:42:39,799
even monotheists. They're polytheists, sex, magic and all sorts of bullshit.

2907
03:42:43,239 --> 03:42:45,959
The Kabbala teaches that non Jews are the embodiment of

2908
03:42:46,040 --> 03:42:48,840
Satan and that the world was created solely for the

2909
03:42:48,879 --> 03:42:53,159
sake of Jews. Rabbi Kuk, who achieved saintly status among

2910
03:42:53,239 --> 03:42:56,319
his followers in Israel and the US. Stated, the difference

2911
03:42:56,360 --> 03:43:00,200
between a Jewish soul and souls of non Jews is

2912
03:43:00,280 --> 03:43:02,959
greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul

2913
03:43:03,040 --> 03:43:11,600
and the souls of cattle. Yeah, that's why they can

2914
03:43:11,840 --> 03:43:17,280
kill children and then just tell you, oh, well, they

2915
03:43:17,280 --> 03:43:20,799
were human shields, that Hamas was using them as human shields,

2916
03:43:21,040 --> 03:43:24,799
and you go, yes, yes, I believe that. I believe

2917
03:43:24,840 --> 03:43:31,440
that clapping fucking seals. In addition to span In addition

2918
03:43:31,479 --> 03:43:35,680
to spanning the Jewish religious secular continuum, the Ergoon delegation

2919
03:43:35,840 --> 03:43:39,639
span the political spectrum from left to right, Baumel writes

2920
03:43:39,719 --> 03:43:43,360
that it evinced many of the unique characteristics of Eastern

2921
03:43:43,360 --> 03:43:49,200
European proto fascism while also forming partnerships with Communists and

2922
03:43:49,280 --> 03:43:52,479
Jews who belong to left wing American groups. No difference,

2923
03:43:52,680 --> 03:43:59,959
same thing spanned, so this Jewish religious secularism continue secular continent.

2924
03:44:00,760 --> 03:44:04,200
The Erguin delegation spanned the political spectrum from left to right.

2925
03:44:05,200 --> 03:44:07,159
If you have people on the left and you have

2926
03:44:07,239 --> 03:44:10,239
people on the right, and people on the right are

2927
03:44:10,319 --> 03:44:12,559
working and the people on the left are working, and

2928
03:44:12,600 --> 03:44:20,000
you've covered both sides. That's called the Kosher Sandwich b

2929
03:44:20,559 --> 03:44:24,559
Rabbi Korf and the Political Action Committee for Palestine. Another

2930
03:44:24,639 --> 03:44:27,079
terrorist front group in PR machine was formed by an

2931
03:44:27,159 --> 03:44:32,280
Orthodox Rabbi named Baruk Korff, who achieved tremendous mainstream success

2932
03:44:32,319 --> 03:44:35,399
and became well known in the US. His underground activities,

2933
03:44:35,399 --> 03:44:38,600
on the other hand, were considerably less known. Korff had

2934
03:44:38,639 --> 03:44:41,799
earlier been executive director of one of the Bergson Group's

2935
03:44:42,040 --> 03:44:45,920
entities before starting his own splinter group, the Political Action

2936
03:44:46,000 --> 03:44:50,079
Committee for Palestine. Korf used many of the same tactics

2937
03:44:50,079 --> 03:44:53,559
as Kook, while also building close relationships with the various

2938
03:44:53,639 --> 03:44:58,600
active and former congressmen. Korf combined these strong political connections

2939
03:44:58,600 --> 03:45:03,159
in PR machinations to extraordinary, if duplicitous effect. One example,

2940
03:45:03,200 --> 03:45:07,799
which historian Raphael met Of calls a particularly well choreographed stunt,

2941
03:45:07,799 --> 03:45:12,079
involved a former Republican Congressman, Joseph Clark Baldwin of New York.

2942
03:45:12,680 --> 03:45:17,200
At Corp's request, Baldwin, who had friendly relations with President Truman,

2943
03:45:17,239 --> 03:45:20,360
staged a highly publicized visit to England and Palestine in

2944
03:45:20,440 --> 03:45:24,879
nineteen forty six. Korf then composed Baldwin's official report of

2945
03:45:24,920 --> 03:45:27,680
the visit, which called on England and the United States

2946
03:45:27,680 --> 03:45:31,600
to recognize Palestine as an independent democracy of which homeless

2947
03:45:31,639 --> 03:45:37,159
European Jews shall be considered citizens. Then, immediately after writing

2948
03:45:37,200 --> 03:45:41,040
Baldwin's report, Korf put out a press release criticizing one

2949
03:45:41,079 --> 03:45:43,440
aspect of the report in order to make it appear

2950
03:45:43,479 --> 03:45:46,799
that Baldwin was not a puppet of the Political Action

2951
03:45:46,920 --> 03:45:49,959
Committee for Palestine, but rather had visited London in Jerusalem

2952
03:45:49,959 --> 03:45:53,479
with an open mind and returned with his own conclusions.

2953
03:45:56,959 --> 03:46:00,479
Baldwin here is just a useful idiot and a apparently

2954
03:46:01,280 --> 03:46:08,040
didn't speak out against It really makes you wonder when

2955
03:46:08,079 --> 03:46:11,840
you hear all this Epstein stuff how long this has

2956
03:46:11,879 --> 03:46:19,840
been going on. Korff was also involved in a terrorist

2957
03:46:19,879 --> 03:46:22,000
plot that was foiled in the last minute by a

2958
03:46:22,040 --> 03:46:25,840
young World War American World War II aviator studying in France.

2959
03:46:26,280 --> 03:46:29,680
British intelligence had discovered in nineteen forty six a Jewish terrorists,

2960
03:46:29,680 --> 03:46:33,760
including Korf, were planning to assassinate the British Foreign Minister.

2961
03:46:34,879 --> 03:46:37,520
For some reason, details about this were heavily censored from

2962
03:46:37,559 --> 03:46:39,719
the British public for many years, but in two thousand

2963
03:46:39,719 --> 03:46:46,440
and three the British security files were finally released in

2964
03:46:46,520 --> 03:46:49,200
nineteen forty seven. Corf and his group hatched a plan

2965
03:46:49,319 --> 03:46:53,040
to drop bombs on the British Foreign Office, along with

2966
03:46:53,159 --> 03:46:57,680
ten thousand threatening leaflets quoting we will carry the war

2967
03:46:57,760 --> 03:47:01,319
to the very heart of the British empireaflets to read

2968
03:47:01,840 --> 03:47:04,479
we will strike with all the bitterness and fury of

2969
03:47:04,520 --> 03:47:10,559
our servitude and bondage. Let's check the too eighty three.

2970
03:47:14,719 --> 03:47:19,440
This is from French arresting iragoons sternest Aids after exposure

2971
03:47:19,479 --> 03:47:22,399
of alleged plot to bomb London. This is from the

2972
03:47:22,479 --> 03:47:27,719
Jewish Telegraph Agency. This is I'm reporting on themselves, telling

2973
03:47:27,719 --> 03:47:29,959
you what they did. They do this all the time.

2974
03:47:31,680 --> 03:47:35,520
You're supposed here's the thing. You're supposed to celebrate it.

2975
03:47:37,239 --> 03:47:46,680
If you criticize it, Dan, you're an antisemi. The group

2976
03:47:46,719 --> 03:47:49,959
tried to recruit a young American aviator in Paris to

2977
03:47:50,000 --> 03:47:52,639
fly a plane from which the bombs would be dropped,

2978
03:47:52,680 --> 03:47:56,639
promising him lucrative jobs after the mission was completed. It'd

2979
03:47:56,680 --> 03:48:01,360
probably put a bullet in his head. Reginald Gilbert had

2980
03:48:01,360 --> 03:48:03,840
flown one hundred and thirty six combat missions over Europe

2981
03:48:03,879 --> 03:48:06,719
during World War Two, shooting down three German planes and

2982
03:48:06,799 --> 03:48:10,479
damaging seven. Gilbert pretended to agree with the plot, but

2983
03:48:10,520 --> 03:48:13,319
instead informed the American embassy and then worked with Scotland

2984
03:48:13,360 --> 03:48:15,520
yard in the Paris police to have the would be

2985
03:48:15,559 --> 03:48:19,680
assassins arrested. French police, who said they feared for the

2986
03:48:19,680 --> 03:48:22,639
flyer's life if the Stern gang ever caught up with him,

2987
03:48:23,040 --> 03:48:25,319
then flew him to London until he could return to

2988
03:48:25,360 --> 03:48:29,360
the US. Almost no one remembers this plot today, but

2989
03:48:29,440 --> 03:48:32,760
it was headline news at the time in newspapers across

2990
03:48:32,840 --> 03:48:36,879
the United States. While some news accounts revealed the full plot,

2991
03:48:37,120 --> 03:48:40,399
reports quickly stopped mentioning the bombs and recounted only the

2992
03:48:40,440 --> 03:48:44,920
plan to drop the threatening leaflets. Someone was leaning on

2993
03:48:45,000 --> 03:48:48,360
spokes people or reporters to make sure only part of

2994
03:48:48,399 --> 03:48:52,239
the story got out. Who could that have been. It

2995
03:48:52,280 --> 03:48:55,719
could be powerful Jews. It could be the politicians they

2996
03:48:55,760 --> 03:49:01,799
own I mean, who owned the press, but they couldn't

2997
03:49:01,879 --> 03:49:04,280
keep Gilbert quiet. In a first hand account of the

2998
03:49:04,280 --> 03:49:07,559
plot published by the New York Herald Tribune, Gilbert confirmed

2999
03:49:07,559 --> 03:49:10,600
that the group had planned much more than a leaflet drop.

3000
03:49:10,879 --> 03:49:13,920
The first idea had been to drop bombs on British Parliament,

3001
03:49:15,520 --> 03:49:18,440
but the target was subsequently changed to the Foreign Ministry

3002
03:49:19,000 --> 03:49:22,200
because Korf held a grudge against the office for refusing

3003
03:49:22,239 --> 03:49:25,319
him a visa to Palestine. It's funny that they didn't

3004
03:49:25,959 --> 03:49:27,719
was no plan to drop anything on the city of

3005
03:49:27,760 --> 03:49:32,719
London trademark City of London one square mile where all

3006
03:49:32,719 --> 03:49:36,840
the banks and everything is hh. What why wouldn't they

3007
03:49:36,840 --> 03:49:44,040
do that? In his article, Gilbert recounted a conversation he

3008
03:49:44,079 --> 03:49:46,680
had with Korf while playing along with the plot, which

3009
03:49:46,719 --> 03:49:49,319
he continued to do with the direction of Paris police.

3010
03:49:49,520 --> 03:49:52,040
He says he told Corf Fogg might prevent them from

3011
03:49:52,040 --> 03:49:55,159
locating their exact target, to which Korff replied that they

3012
03:49:55,200 --> 03:50:00,840
could just drop the bombs anywhere on London Gilbert. When

3013
03:50:00,840 --> 03:50:04,000
Gilbert protested that innocent people might be killed, Korf replied,

3014
03:50:04,239 --> 03:50:07,799
they are British, so they are our enemy. Just know,

3015
03:50:08,799 --> 03:50:15,120
replace British there with anyone who's not a Jew. I'll

3016
03:50:15,159 --> 03:50:23,360
be charitable Zionist. After being arrested by Paris police in

3017
03:50:23,479 --> 03:50:27,079
charge with illegal possession of explosives and war weapons, k

3018
03:50:27,959 --> 03:50:30,719
Korf came up with various stories. At one point he

3019
03:50:30,760 --> 03:50:34,159
claimed that Gilbert had been the guilty party. Next, he

3020
03:50:34,360 --> 03:50:37,760
and Hillel Kouk using his alias Peter Bergson, claimed that

3021
03:50:37,799 --> 03:50:40,440
the plot was a British frame up and that Gilbert

3022
03:50:40,479 --> 03:50:43,719
was a British agent. In other versions, Korf claimed that

3023
03:50:43,719 --> 03:50:47,200
the British Nazi Party fabricated the story, a claim picked

3024
03:50:47,239 --> 03:50:51,280
up by the British Weekly News Review. According to the

3025
03:50:51,280 --> 03:50:53,920
London Times, Corf later said that millions of dollars had

3026
03:50:53,959 --> 03:50:57,959
been subscribed by private American sources to fund the purchase

3027
03:50:58,079 --> 03:51:04,479
of the aircraft. So American sources, let's quote unquote American sources. There,

3028
03:51:05,319 --> 03:51:12,440
We're going to fund this. Powerful allies proclaimed that Kaorf

3029
03:51:12,520 --> 03:51:15,079
was innocent and brought pressure on the State Department to

3030
03:51:15,200 --> 03:51:18,760
help him. These allies included Korf's contacts in Congress and

3031
03:51:18,799 --> 03:51:21,559
his father, Rabbi Jacob Korf, who was leader of the

3032
03:51:21,559 --> 03:51:26,520
Boston Jewish Rabbinet and wielded considerable influence. When he died,

3033
03:51:26,520 --> 03:51:29,639
the Massachusetts Governor and Boston Mayer attended his funeral, which

3034
03:51:29,680 --> 03:51:34,559
was accompanied by a five thousand person march. By November

3035
03:51:34,600 --> 03:51:42,280
twenty second, all charges were dropped. In nineteen forty eight,

3036
03:51:42,319 --> 03:51:46,200
Barot Korf had the temerity to publish a large advertisement

3037
03:51:46,200 --> 03:51:48,559
in The New York Post calling a State Department policy

3038
03:51:48,600 --> 03:51:53,239
against enforcing the partition of Palestine. Pure and simple anti

3039
03:51:53,319 --> 03:51:59,079
Semitism plane everyday anti Semitism incorporated into the hearts and

3040
03:51:59,159 --> 03:52:09,559
minds of those who govern Free America. Later, Korff became

3041
03:52:09,600 --> 03:52:12,719
a close friend and furvn supporter of President Richard Nixon,

3042
03:52:13,079 --> 03:52:16,639
who called him my Rabbi. Kaorf is reported to have

3043
03:52:16,639 --> 03:52:19,680
influenced Nixon's strong support for Israel in efforts to allow

3044
03:52:19,760 --> 03:52:24,079
Soviet Jews to emigrate. It appears that Nixon was unaware

3045
03:52:24,079 --> 03:52:27,399
of Courf's terror connection pasted according to a book on

3046
03:52:27,479 --> 03:52:32,399
Nixon by investigative reporters Bob Woodward and Karl Bernstein, CIA

3047
03:52:32,440 --> 03:52:35,719
operatives who also appeared to have been ignorant of Korf's

3048
03:52:35,760 --> 03:52:39,760
background bullshit. Korf introduced him to Nixon as just a

3049
03:52:39,799 --> 03:52:44,639
small town Rabbi Korf introduced himself to Nixon as just

3050
03:52:44,680 --> 03:52:48,760
a small town Rabbi. Korf served as chaplain for the

3051
03:52:48,760 --> 03:52:52,639
Massachusetts Department of Mental Health for twenty one years. He

3052
03:52:52,760 --> 03:52:55,799
later acted as a consultant to Brown University in conjunction

3053
03:52:55,879 --> 03:53:00,399
with the school's acquisition of his extensive archives. According to

3054
03:53:00,479 --> 03:53:04,719
London Independent, Korf had many supporters in high places, including

3055
03:53:05,000 --> 03:53:12,840
prime ministers, Yet Sacrabin and goulda mayir see. The Sunoborne Institute,

3056
03:53:13,079 --> 03:53:16,319
a third collective of front groups, was the secret American

3057
03:53:16,559 --> 03:53:21,440
arm of the main Zionist paramilitary in Palestine, the Hagana,

3058
03:53:21,559 --> 03:53:24,600
known as the Snoborne Institute, It was founded by an American,

3059
03:53:24,799 --> 03:53:29,280
Rudolph G. Sannoborn, in connection in conjunction David Ben Gurion,

3060
03:53:29,520 --> 03:53:34,840
who led Zionist forces in Palestine. Snoborn, Zion of a

3061
03:53:34,840 --> 03:53:37,920
wealthy German Jewish family from Baltimore, had met Ben Gurion

3062
03:53:37,959 --> 03:53:42,399
in nineteen nineteen. Snoborn had traveled to the Versailles Peace

3063
03:53:42,479 --> 03:53:46,200
Conference as a secretary of a Zionist delegation at the

3064
03:53:46,239 --> 03:53:52,200
behest of Supreme Court Justice Brandeis a family friend, and

3065
03:53:52,319 --> 03:53:58,760
afterward went on a tour of Palestine. But conspiracies don't exist, bro,

3066
03:54:00,280 --> 03:54:04,159
you're paranoid. In nineteen forty five, Sauna Borne and Ben

3067
03:54:04,239 --> 03:54:07,399
Gurion hosted a meeting of seventeen well connected guests at

3068
03:54:07,399 --> 03:54:11,239
Sna Borne's Manhattan penthouse. Ben Gurion informed the group that

3069
03:54:11,280 --> 03:54:14,479
their purpose was to form an underground organization to raise

3070
03:54:14,520 --> 03:54:17,879
money and support for purposes which could not be publicized

3071
03:54:17,959 --> 03:54:26,719
or even fully disclosed. The guests came from Los Angeles, Toronto, Miami, Birmingham, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Minneapolis,

3072
03:54:26,760 --> 03:54:29,719
Saint Louis, Newark, New Haven, and New York. One was

3073
03:54:29,760 --> 03:54:32,159
a rabbi, five were lawyers, and the others were highly

3074
03:54:32,159 --> 03:54:36,559
successful businessmen. The organization was eventually to have representatives and

3075
03:54:36,559 --> 03:54:39,239
at least thirty five to forty industry groups, and in

3076
03:54:39,319 --> 03:54:43,200
one month alone there were meetings in Memphis, Ohio, New Jersey,

3077
03:54:43,479 --> 03:54:47,799
Ceedar Rapids, Iowa City, Baton, Rouge, Dallas, Washington, d C.

3078
03:54:48,239 --> 03:54:52,959
And forty more were scheduled. They also organized Zionist youth groups,

3079
03:54:53,079 --> 03:54:57,840
whose young members sometimes helped load guns onto boats headed

3080
03:54:57,840 --> 03:55:00,639
for Palestine for use in taking over the land for

3081
03:55:00,719 --> 03:55:08,079
a Jewish state. Ma Nazi youth US activities tried to

3082
03:55:08,120 --> 03:55:12,319
stop these illegal and damaging ACTI activity. US authorities tried

3083
03:55:12,360 --> 03:55:15,399
to stop these illegal and damaging activities. In nineteen forty eight,

3084
03:55:15,479 --> 03:55:18,079
the Director of Central Intelligence filled the top secret report

3085
03:55:18,120 --> 03:55:20,719
with the Secretary of Defense about the Zionis arms trafficking.

3086
03:55:21,040 --> 03:55:25,239
He warned US national security is unfavorably affected by these

3087
03:55:25,280 --> 03:55:28,600
developments and it could be seriously jeopardized. But continued illicit

3088
03:55:28,680 --> 03:55:33,760
traffic in the quote unquote implements of war. But like

3089
03:55:33,799 --> 03:55:36,799
the other Zionis front groups discussed above, the Sauna Borne

3090
03:55:36,799 --> 03:55:40,559
Institute had friends in high places. Author Grant Smith reports

3091
03:55:40,639 --> 03:55:46,600
that under Truman, quote Hagana operative Hagana operative, groups active

3092
03:55:46,680 --> 03:55:50,799
in arms trafficking within the US, like the terrorist charges

3093
03:55:50,959 --> 03:55:57,159
would only be lightly investigated and seldom persecuted prosecuted, so

3094
03:55:57,200 --> 03:55:59,879
they could openly traffic in arms within the United States

3095
03:56:01,079 --> 03:56:04,719
and then send them overseas. The amount of American money

3096
03:56:04,760 --> 03:56:07,600
mobilized for Zionism during this period is impossible to know,

3097
03:56:07,719 --> 03:56:11,280
but indication suggests that it was astronomical. The Jewish Agency

3098
03:56:11,280 --> 03:56:14,079
for Israel raised the equivalent in today's dollars of three

3099
03:56:14,120 --> 03:56:18,200
point five billion between nineteen thirty nine and May nineteen

3100
03:56:18,280 --> 03:56:22,440
forty eight alone, and has been described above, this was

3101
03:56:22,520 --> 03:56:27,760
just one of the numerous Zionist organizations raising money from Americans.

3102
03:56:29,479 --> 03:56:33,440
Stop right there. This was a longer one. I mean,

3103
03:56:35,520 --> 03:56:38,079
I mean, what's a takeaway from all this? And I'm

3104
03:56:38,079 --> 03:56:41,879
going to finish this. Of course, we do not have

3105
03:56:41,879 --> 03:56:50,719
a country. We haven't in a very long time. That's it.

3106
03:56:52,200 --> 03:56:54,559
We'll be back in a couple of days with Chapter thirteen.

3107
03:56:54,879 --> 03:57:00,959
Infiltrating Displaced persons camps in Europe to funnel people to Palestine.

3108
03:57:01,399 --> 03:57:04,600
Take care everyone, see you in a couple of days.

3109
03:57:05,719 --> 03:57:09,399
All right, let's do part eight of Against Our Better

3110
03:57:09,559 --> 03:57:12,959
Judgment by Alison. We are just finished doing the Sunday

3111
03:57:13,000 --> 03:57:15,879
live stream, and I'm like, oh well, well, let's just

3112
03:57:16,319 --> 03:57:22,000
get it done. We are here, so let's do it. Alrighty,

3113
03:57:24,559 --> 03:57:30,079
here we go, Chapter thirteen. Infiltrating Displaced Persons camps in

3114
03:57:30,159 --> 03:57:36,159
Europe to funnel people to Palestine. A similar underground campaign

3115
03:57:36,319 --> 03:57:41,040
was operated in Europe. Zionis Cadres infiltrated displaced persons camps

3116
03:57:41,319 --> 03:57:44,319
that had been set up to house refugees displaced by

3117
03:57:44,639 --> 03:57:49,120
during World War Two. These infiltrators tried secretly to funnel

3118
03:57:49,159 --> 03:57:52,399
people to Palestine. When it turned out that most didn't

3119
03:57:52,399 --> 03:57:55,319
want to go to Palestine, they worked to convince them,

3120
03:57:55,799 --> 03:58:00,879
sometimes by force. The fact was that need more people

3121
03:58:00,920 --> 03:58:04,239
to go to Palestine. As Ben Gurion stated in nineteen

3122
03:58:04,360 --> 03:58:08,280
forty forty four, the essence of Zionism is one of

3123
03:58:08,360 --> 03:58:15,559
a populating endeavor to populate Israel with multitudes of Jews.

3124
03:58:16,319 --> 03:58:21,600
G isn't that what they do with the weaponized immigration

3125
03:58:21,799 --> 03:58:29,840
now like hyas Hebra immigrant aid society. You just you know,

3126
03:58:30,000 --> 03:58:33,959
if you want people to take over, you're gonna need multitudes.

3127
03:58:35,120 --> 03:58:38,600
If you want people to crowd out who's already there,

3128
03:58:39,319 --> 03:58:46,760
to punish who's already there, you crowd as many people

3129
03:58:46,760 --> 03:58:52,799
as possible. Israeli professor Joseph Gradzinski explains that Zionists were

3130
03:58:52,799 --> 03:58:58,360
looking for Schomer and Noshitov good human materials, a phrase

3131
03:58:58,440 --> 03:59:04,479
Zionist organizers frequently used. Convincing Jews to uproot themselves and

3132
03:59:04,559 --> 03:59:07,680
move to Palestine proved to be a formidable task. When

3133
03:59:07,719 --> 03:59:09,959
life is good, people tend to stay where they are.

3134
03:59:10,920 --> 03:59:14,920
Candidates for Palestine immigration therefore had to be Jews whose

3135
03:59:14,959 --> 03:59:21,319
life was not good. Post Holocaust DPS displaced persons became

3136
03:59:21,399 --> 03:59:26,680
a human reserve, reserve of great immigration potential, hence a

3137
03:59:26,799 --> 03:59:32,760
prime target for the Zionists. A senior Masad commander anticipated

3138
03:59:32,799 --> 03:59:35,959
that even these might not wish to come to Palestine,

3139
03:59:35,959 --> 03:59:40,520
and we need to be actively recruited, quoting we must

3140
03:59:40,520 --> 03:59:43,319
not think that thousands upon thousands will come knocking at

3141
03:59:43,319 --> 03:59:47,440
the country's gates. Once they open. Zionist's movement must understand

3142
03:59:47,440 --> 03:59:51,159
that it must be first on the market. When only

3143
03:59:51,159 --> 03:59:53,840
a minority of Jewish refugees wish to go to Palestine.

3144
03:59:53,879 --> 03:59:58,959
A report by Zionist operative Rabbi Klausner concluded, quote, the

3145
03:59:59,040 --> 04:00:03,520
people must be forced to go to Palestine. Author Alfred

3146
04:00:03,600 --> 04:00:07,360
Lilienthal reports that Zionists working in the refugee camps employed

3147
04:00:07,760 --> 04:00:11,200
numerous means to compel residents to agree to go to Palestine,

3148
04:00:11,600 --> 04:00:17,600
including confiscation of food rations, dismissal from work, expulsion from

3149
04:00:17,639 --> 04:00:22,159
the camps, taking away legal protections and visa rites, and

3150
04:00:22,239 --> 04:00:26,760
in one case, quote, even the public flogging of a

3151
04:00:26,840 --> 04:00:35,399
recalcitrant recruit for the Israeli for the israel Army end quote.

3152
04:00:35,520 --> 04:00:38,239
The Jewish Brigade of the British Army, a unit long

3153
04:00:38,399 --> 04:00:41,200
sought by Zionists and finally created it in the final

3154
04:00:41,239 --> 04:00:43,600
months of the war, was one of the first on

3155
04:00:43,639 --> 04:00:47,840
the scene. Its soldiers and officers turned into clandestine emissaries

3156
04:00:47,840 --> 04:00:52,399
of the Zionist movement. Gratzinski reports quote one role Brigade

3157
04:00:52,399 --> 04:00:55,760
soldiers took upon themselves was to gather Jewish children hidden

3158
04:00:55,760 --> 04:01:00,639
away in monasteries or with non Jewish families. He writes,

3159
04:01:00,840 --> 04:01:04,040
quote Jewish orphans were to be found in many places

3160
04:01:04,079 --> 04:01:07,959
having survived thanks to the goodness of Christian families and

3161
04:01:08,000 --> 04:01:13,000
institutions that hid them throughout the war end quote. Now

3162
04:01:13,000 --> 04:01:16,920
the Brigade soldiers, directed by the Jewish Agency's Diasporas Center,

3163
04:01:17,360 --> 04:01:21,239
were retrieving them and taking them to special orphanages quote,

3164
04:01:21,559 --> 04:01:24,879
where they were to be cared for, receive Zionist education,

3165
04:01:25,319 --> 04:01:30,159
and be trained for immigration to Palestine. Gratzinski reports that

3166
04:01:30,200 --> 04:01:33,840
the process was not always easy. Quote. Many families who

3167
04:01:33,879 --> 04:01:36,639
rescued Jewish children were not treating them as if they

3168
04:01:36,639 --> 04:01:42,920
were their own. Okay, let me repeat that, my apologies.

3169
04:01:43,280 --> 04:01:47,680
Many families who rescued Jewish children were now treating them

3170
04:01:47,799 --> 04:01:51,079
as if they were their own. To retrieve these children,

3171
04:01:51,360 --> 04:01:58,520
brigade men occasionally resorted to force end quote. Future Israeli

3172
04:01:58,600 --> 04:02:02,159
Major General yos Pa and his sisters were among them.

3173
04:02:02,680 --> 04:02:05,399
They had been raised by a Christian family almost from infancy.

3174
04:02:05,760 --> 04:02:09,559
Brigade soldiers quote came in one day armed and threatened

3175
04:02:09,600 --> 04:02:13,280
the adoptive parents, saying that these are Jewish children and

3176
04:02:13,319 --> 04:02:16,120
they must give us, and they must give us away,

3177
04:02:16,600 --> 04:02:20,280
otherwise they would suffer. They had no choice but hand

3178
04:02:20,360 --> 04:02:23,600
us over, and we were put in a Jewish orphanage

3179
04:02:23,600 --> 04:02:27,200
in Belgium. The children tried to refuse to leave the house,

3180
04:02:27,200 --> 04:02:29,680
and one of his sisters later said that her brothers

3181
04:02:30,200 --> 04:02:35,239
screams till her brother's screams still echo in her head.

3182
04:02:36,559 --> 04:02:39,840
One of the best known orphanages, Salvino House, was run

3183
04:02:39,879 --> 04:02:43,200
by brigade soldiers who implemented strict rules, including requiring that

3184
04:02:43,280 --> 04:02:48,040
only Hebrew be spoken. Children were not permitted to leave

3185
04:02:48,079 --> 04:02:50,639
the orphanage to search for relatives, out of concern that

3186
04:02:50,680 --> 04:02:55,760
they might then stay in Europe rather than go to Palestine.

3187
04:02:58,120 --> 04:03:00,600
But all these people care about his face family, right.

3188
04:03:03,920 --> 04:03:07,479
Gratzinsky goes on to report the thousands of children passed

3189
04:03:07,520 --> 04:03:11,280
through such institutions, quote their period of residence there being

3190
04:03:11,479 --> 04:03:14,600
just another part of the journey to the promised land

3191
04:03:14,799 --> 04:03:19,000
end quote. In July nineteen forty five, Zionists organized the

3192
04:03:19,040 --> 04:03:22,959
First Congress of Jewish Survivors in Germany, which issued a

3193
04:03:22,959 --> 04:03:27,079
proclamation calling for the immediate establishment of a Jewish state

3194
04:03:27,120 --> 04:03:31,200
in Palestine. While the proclamation claimed to represent the survivors,

3195
04:03:31,200 --> 04:03:35,120
in reality, most of the ten signatories were Zionist envoys

3196
04:03:35,239 --> 04:03:39,840
from Palestine. Future Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion believed

3197
04:03:39,840 --> 04:03:43,799
that Palestine should be the only destination for Jewish survivors.

3198
04:03:44,879 --> 04:03:49,639
Gratzinsky and other Israeli authors provide little known context for

3199
04:03:49,719 --> 04:03:52,440
the odyssey of the forty five hundred survivors from German

3200
04:03:52,559 --> 04:03:56,520
camps who set Sale in July nineteen seventy nineteen forty

3201
04:03:56,559 --> 04:04:01,040
seven as illegal immigrants on a ship later named Exodus.

3202
04:04:03,239 --> 04:04:06,959
Bruke Kimmerling, an Israeli professor and author of nine books

3203
04:04:07,000 --> 04:04:10,319
on the founding tenets of Zionism, writes, quote, the real

3204
04:04:10,360 --> 04:04:12,520
story of the ship was far less glorious than the

3205
04:04:12,520 --> 04:04:16,319
one told in Leon Uris's nineteen fifty eight bestseller and

3206
04:04:16,399 --> 04:04:23,319
Otto Preminger's nineteen sixty film. Israeli author Edith Zertle calls

3207
04:04:23,319 --> 04:04:29,719
it an orchestrated media event. Kimmerling, citing Zertel's research, writes

3208
04:04:29,760 --> 04:04:32,280
that Ben Gurion quote felt that the plight of the

3209
04:04:32,360 --> 04:04:35,200
Jewish refugees in Europe needed to be dramatized in order

3210
04:04:35,239 --> 04:04:39,879
to attract more sympathy for the Jewish struggle over Palestine.

3211
04:04:40,079 --> 04:04:42,680
While many people have heard that British authorities refused to

3212
04:04:42,719 --> 04:04:46,079
allow their illegal immigration into Palestine and forced the boat

3213
04:04:46,120 --> 04:04:49,200
to be returned to Germany, few know that the French

3214
04:04:49,239 --> 04:04:54,280
government had agreed to host the refugees. Ben Gurion rejected

3215
04:04:54,280 --> 04:04:58,719
this solution, and the survivors were forced unnecessarily to remain

3216
04:04:58,879 --> 04:05:05,559
on board for seven months. Kimberling commented, quote, ben Gurion's

3217
04:05:05,559 --> 04:05:08,719
strategy in the Exodus affair paid off. The fate of

3218
04:05:08,719 --> 04:05:12,479
the refugee ship, attracted considerable and sympathetic attention around the world,

3219
04:05:12,719 --> 04:05:16,000
and served the Zionist cause well. Few observers at the

3220
04:05:16,040 --> 04:05:18,479
time knew that many of the refugees from the Exodus

3221
04:05:18,559 --> 04:05:21,799
had applied for immigration visas to the United States and

3222
04:05:21,840 --> 04:05:30,159
were hardly anxious to settle in Israel. Kimberling points out, quote,

3223
04:05:30,319 --> 04:05:33,280
By dramatizing the fate of the survivors in whom he

3224
04:05:33,360 --> 04:05:36,000
had little interest except as future residence of the state

3225
04:05:36,040 --> 04:05:39,440
he was building, Ben Gurion helped to make Israel the

3226
04:05:39,479 --> 04:05:44,559
world's chief powerbroker over Jewish affairs. Under his leadership, Israel

3227
04:05:44,639 --> 04:05:48,200
established a claim to represent all of world Jewry, and

3228
04:05:48,440 --> 04:05:54,040
on this basis successfully claimed reparations from the Federal Republic

3229
04:05:54,280 --> 04:05:59,639
of Germany. Let me look at the footnote on that.

3230
04:06:00,280 --> 04:06:06,440
I swear they're still paying those reparations today. That's from

3231
04:06:06,479 --> 04:06:12,319
Baruk Kimmerling's Israel's culture of martyrdom the Nation, January tenth,

3232
04:06:12,399 --> 04:06:17,479
two thousand and five. It's an article. This is a

3233
04:06:17,520 --> 04:06:21,159
note here. This was not the only such case that

3234
04:06:21,440 --> 04:06:26,680
has been somewhat misrepresented in ZIONUS propaganda. Two hundred Jewish

3235
04:06:26,680 --> 04:06:31,879
refugees aboard another such ship, the Patria, died when Jewish

3236
04:06:31,920 --> 04:06:35,760
forces placed a bomb under the whole to disable the ship.

3237
04:06:36,319 --> 04:06:40,680
Maybe we'll get into the Patrio Fair. I don't know

3238
04:06:40,719 --> 04:06:48,200
if that's going to come up right now. Let me see. Basically,

3239
04:06:48,639 --> 04:06:50,719
let me look up the Patrio Fair so I have

3240
04:06:55,639 --> 04:06:58,879
I can tell you exactly what happened the Patriot case

3241
04:07:00,079 --> 04:07:05,280
Patria disaster. So, the Patrio disaster was the sinking on

3242
04:07:05,399 --> 04:07:08,639
twenty fifth of November nineteen forty by the Jewish paramilitary

3243
04:07:08,719 --> 04:07:13,760
organization Hagana of a French built ocean liner, the hundred

3244
04:07:13,760 --> 04:07:17,360
and eighty five ton SS Patria, in the port of Haifa.

3245
04:07:17,840 --> 04:07:21,239
Patria was about to depart with about eighteen hundred Jewish

3246
04:07:21,319 --> 04:07:30,040
refugees whom the British authorities were deporting to More Mortius, moretatious.

3247
04:07:31,040 --> 04:07:35,799
Can I can't pronounce that Zionis organization opposed the deportation

3248
04:07:36,159 --> 04:07:39,479
and the underground paramilitary Hagana group planted a bomb intended

3249
04:07:39,479 --> 04:07:42,200
to disable the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa.

3250
04:07:42,680 --> 04:07:46,120
The Ghana claims to have miscalculated the effects of the explosion.

3251
04:07:46,559 --> 04:07:49,000
The bomb blew the steel frame of one full side

3252
04:07:49,000 --> 04:07:50,959
of the ship, and the ship sank in less than

3253
04:07:50,959 --> 04:07:54,200
sixteen minutes, trapping hundreds in the hold, going two hundred

3254
04:07:54,200 --> 04:07:56,360
and sixty seven in injuring one hundred and seventy two.

3255
04:07:56,879 --> 04:07:59,600
The British allowed the survivors to remain in Palestine on

3256
04:07:59,719 --> 04:08:05,360
human unhumanitarian grounds. Who was responsible and the true reason

3257
04:08:05,360 --> 04:08:08,840
why Patria sank remained controversial into nineteen fifty seven, when

3258
04:08:08,959 --> 04:08:12,479
Munya Martyr, the person who planted the bomb, published a

3259
04:08:12,559 --> 04:08:27,760
book about his experience. Yeah, that's them new heading. Zionists

3260
04:08:27,760 --> 04:08:32,399
implement forced conscription. Gratzinski reports as Zionist leaders determined that

3261
04:08:32,440 --> 04:08:36,200
they needed to implement force sub conscription if they were

3262
04:08:36,239 --> 04:08:38,840
going to attain sufficient numbers for the war they were

3263
04:08:38,840 --> 04:08:44,840
planning against Palestinians. So they were planning a war against Palestinians,

3264
04:08:44,920 --> 04:08:54,479
a war of independence. Yeah, how what since American and

3265
04:08:54,520 --> 04:08:57,280
European Jews would never have gone along with this. They

3266
04:08:57,319 --> 04:09:01,879
targeted the weakest population. For this compulsory redraft residents of

3267
04:09:01,920 --> 04:09:06,520
the displaced persons camps. After a voluntary recruitment drive netted

3268
04:09:06,559 --> 04:09:11,200
less than point three percent of the DP population, a

3269
04:09:11,239 --> 04:09:15,200
compulsory draft was implemented. This bizarre project, in which a

3270
04:09:15,399 --> 04:09:21,399
non nation state imposed compulsory military service on people who

3271
04:09:21,440 --> 04:09:24,200
had never even lived in the land for which they

3272
04:09:24,200 --> 04:09:28,319
were required to fight, was enforced through a number of mechanisms,

3273
04:09:28,920 --> 04:09:34,559
including publishing blacklists of draft evators, firing them from jobs,

3274
04:09:34,760 --> 04:09:38,959
evicting them from dwellings, withdrawing their food rations, and beating them.

3275
04:09:40,840 --> 04:09:44,440
These tactics were also at times used on their relatives.

3276
04:09:45,319 --> 04:09:51,399
So you don't serve, We're gonna beat your mom is

3277
04:09:51,440 --> 04:09:58,520
a war for independence. In one camp quote, a father

3278
04:09:58,680 --> 04:10:03,479
of a Gaias evader Wecker was beaten up, as was

3279
04:10:03,520 --> 04:10:06,319
the father of one who did not register. In another case,

3280
04:10:06,360 --> 04:10:10,479
an old father, Richard Isaac, was beaten because his son

3281
04:10:10,559 --> 04:10:15,239
Moishe Richter did not register for the Gaeis. Men and

3282
04:10:15,280 --> 04:10:18,600
women who weren't able to evade this draft were sometimes

3283
04:10:18,680 --> 04:10:21,680
assigned to combat units with minimal training and given little

3284
04:10:21,719 --> 04:10:24,399
time to get their bearings. They were paid less than

3285
04:10:24,479 --> 04:10:27,920
volunteers from English speaking Western countries and had fewer privileges.

3286
04:10:28,319 --> 04:10:31,600
Many could not even understand their Hebrew orders. Some died

3287
04:10:31,600 --> 04:10:36,280
in battle in battle, others died unknown, as Gritszinski reports,

3288
04:10:36,280 --> 04:10:38,559
having had neither a home nor a family to come

3289
04:10:38,600 --> 04:10:44,399
back to. They were just pawns in the Zionist game.

3290
04:10:46,639 --> 04:10:49,639
Israeli author Tom Segev reports that most of the immigrants

3291
04:10:49,680 --> 04:10:54,159
from Germany were refugees who came against their will. They

3292
04:10:54,159 --> 04:10:58,479
were not Zionists in Israel. They were objects of condescension

3293
04:10:59,000 --> 04:11:04,399
and contempt. Let's go to that. That's from Segev's book Okay.

3294
04:11:04,920 --> 04:11:10,520
But in American Pravd by Ron Uns he talks about that.

3295
04:11:10,600 --> 04:11:15,399
He talks about how Jews who came from the camps,

3296
04:11:15,399 --> 04:11:19,879
who were considered Holocaust survivors, were treated like second class

3297
04:11:19,920 --> 04:11:23,719
citizens in Israel even after Israel was formed. They were

3298
04:11:23,799 --> 04:11:30,399
just looked down upon. The American public, however, was led

3299
04:11:30,440 --> 04:11:33,799
to believe that European Jews desperately wished to go to Palestine,

3300
04:11:33,799 --> 04:11:37,440
and the well organized, well funded, and frequently ruthless operation

3301
04:11:37,600 --> 04:11:41,520
behind the emigration was hidden from view. Funding for the

3302
04:11:41,559 --> 04:11:45,920
emigrant recruitment recruitment operation included twenty five million from the

3303
04:11:46,000 --> 04:11:52,879
non governmental organization and goo the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

3304
04:11:52,920 --> 04:11:55,719
A British general who had been Eisenhower's deputy and was

3305
04:11:55,719 --> 04:11:58,399
credited with the build up for the Normandy invasion, Sir

3306
04:11:58,479 --> 04:12:02,319
Frederick Morgan, noticed what was going on. He publicly pointed

3307
04:12:02,319 --> 04:12:05,079
out that many of the refugees headed for Palestine were

3308
04:12:05,079 --> 04:12:08,360
well dressed and well fed, their pockets bulging with money,

3309
04:12:08,600 --> 04:12:12,680
and concluded that something must be encouraging their emigration. The

3310
04:12:12,719 --> 04:12:18,000
World Jewish Congress stated officially and duplicitously General Morgan's allegation

3311
04:12:18,040 --> 04:12:20,879
of a Jewish force inside Europe aiming at a mass

3312
04:12:20,959 --> 04:12:27,319
exodus to Palestine is fantastically untrue. Morgan was forced to apologize,

3313
04:12:27,399 --> 04:12:31,600
even though as a pro Israel author rights, Morgan's analysis

3314
04:12:31,600 --> 04:12:37,840
of the situation was quite correct. New heading the Seife

3315
04:12:37,879 --> 04:12:43,319
Group blocking a counter Balfour declaration. Another secret group working

3316
04:12:43,319 --> 04:12:45,680
on behalf of Zionism was formed in nineteen forty two

3317
04:12:45,680 --> 04:12:49,200
by Israel M. Seife, a British clothing magnet who was

3318
04:12:49,239 --> 04:12:52,920
temporarily living in the US. Of course he was. The

3319
04:12:52,959 --> 04:12:56,079
Seife Group was, as historian Peter Gross puts it, a

3320
04:12:56,120 --> 04:13:01,719
sophisticated version of Brandeis's Parishem the secret organization. While its

3321
04:13:01,760 --> 04:13:05,239
existence was never openly acknowledged, it grew into the secret

3322
04:13:05,280 --> 04:13:08,159
back channel to officials in Washington during the last years

3323
04:13:08,200 --> 04:13:12,000
of FDR's presidency and the crucial first years of Truman's.

3324
04:13:12,639 --> 04:13:15,440
Its members included such men as Ben Kohane, a member

3325
04:13:15,479 --> 04:13:20,360
of the White House staff, Robert Nathan in intelligence, David Ginsburg,

3326
04:13:20,440 --> 04:13:24,360
a New Deal bureaucrat, David Lilienthal, chairman of the Tennessee

3327
04:13:24,399 --> 04:13:27,719
Valley Authority, and David Niles, a high White House official

3328
04:13:28,079 --> 04:13:32,879
under both Roosevelt and Truman, Grocer reports the Little Nucleus

3329
04:13:32,879 --> 04:13:36,760
possessed the entree and the clout to carry the message

3330
04:13:36,760 --> 04:13:43,000
of Jewish Palestine into the highest policymaking circles through casual suggestion, indirection,

3331
04:13:44,120 --> 04:13:47,479
chance remarks among well placed colleagues in the corridors of

3332
04:13:47,600 --> 04:13:52,200
power and the salons of social Washington. On July twenty seven,

3333
04:13:52,319 --> 04:13:56,280
nineteen forty three, a US State Department officials and English diplomats,

3334
04:13:56,319 --> 04:13:59,239
concerned that Zionist activities were causing serious harm to the

3335
04:13:59,239 --> 04:14:03,399
war effort almost issue to reverse Balfour Declaration calling for

3336
04:14:03,479 --> 04:14:09,079
these activities to cease. The Sife Group Felix Frankfurter, who

3337
04:14:09,280 --> 04:14:12,360
was Supreme Court Justice, Henry Morgan Thou who I think

3338
04:14:12,399 --> 04:14:17,639
was Treasury Secretary at the time, David Niles, Bernard Baruk,

3339
04:14:17,719 --> 04:14:27,600
and others took emergency action and blocked the declaration Chapter

3340
04:14:27,639 --> 04:14:32,520
fourteen Palestinian refugees. By nineteen forty nine, Israel's war of

3341
04:14:32,559 --> 04:14:36,799
independence and ethnic cleansing had created hundreds of thousands of

3342
04:14:36,840 --> 04:14:41,000
Palestinian refugees. The US representative in Israel sent an urgent

3343
04:14:41,120 --> 04:14:45,559
report to Truman. Quote, Arab refugee tragedy is rapidly reaching

3344
04:14:46,120 --> 04:14:50,360
catastrophic proportions and should be treated as a disaster. Of

3345
04:14:50,399 --> 04:14:55,319
approximately four hundred thousand refugees approaching winter with cold, heavy rains, will,

3346
04:14:55,840 --> 04:14:59,159
it is estimated, kill more than one hundred thousand old men, women,

3347
04:14:59,200 --> 04:15:01,920
and children who were shelterless and have little or no food.

3348
04:15:02,799 --> 04:15:07,319
These are the victims of the Nakba that modern Zionists

3349
04:15:07,319 --> 04:15:10,239
and Jews will say it didn't happen, it was made up.

3350
04:15:10,719 --> 04:15:15,000
Those people weren't there, they didn't exist, or they invaded

3351
04:15:15,000 --> 04:15:21,639
from other countries. Old men, women, and children. Yeah. The

3352
04:15:21,719 --> 04:15:24,639
number of refugees continued to grow, reaching at least three

3353
04:15:24,719 --> 04:15:29,000
quarters of a million and desperate, starving Palestinians inundated neighboring

3354
04:15:29,040 --> 04:15:33,760
Arab countries. US diplomats in Cairo and Aman described a

3355
04:15:33,799 --> 04:15:37,719
disastrous situation in which the almost non existent resources of

3356
04:15:37,760 --> 04:15:40,920
these countries were stretched nearly to the breaking point. The

3357
04:15:40,959 --> 04:15:43,280
State Department reported that during the last nine months in

3358
04:15:43,360 --> 04:15:46,040
nineteen forty eight, Arab states had donated eleven million to

3359
04:15:46,120 --> 04:15:49,440
refugee aid, stating this sum, in light of the very

3360
04:15:49,440 --> 04:15:52,920
slender budgets of most of these governments, is relatively enormous.

3361
04:15:54,559 --> 04:15:57,920
During this time, the report noted the total direct relief

3362
04:15:58,000 --> 04:16:02,079
offered by the Israel Israeli government to date consists of

3363
04:16:02,200 --> 04:16:06,840
five hundred cases of oranges. At least they weren't going

3364
04:16:06,879 --> 04:16:11,399
to get scurvy, right, at least five hundred of them wouldn't.

3365
04:16:11,760 --> 04:16:16,440
Or however, five hundred how many times, I'm many, let's

3366
04:16:16,479 --> 04:16:20,799
call it, I don't know, fifty times, five hundred, maybe

3367
04:16:20,799 --> 04:16:25,879
fifty thousand, Yeah, some of them, I guess scurvy. At least. Meanwhile,

3368
04:16:25,920 --> 04:16:31,600
Israel had acquired formerly Palestinian owned properties worth at least

3369
04:16:31,760 --> 04:16:36,600
four hundred and eighty million in nineteen forty seven dollars,

3370
04:16:36,639 --> 04:16:39,399
the equivalent of five point two billion in today's dollars.

3371
04:16:40,159 --> 04:16:45,799
Journalists and academic under Stridberg reports, in the process of

3372
04:16:45,959 --> 04:16:51,760
Judaizing Palestine, numerous convents, hospices, seminaries, and churches were either

3373
04:16:51,799 --> 04:16:56,680
destroyed or cleared of their Christian owners and custodians, and

3374
04:16:56,799 --> 04:16:59,440
one of the most spectacular attacks on a Christian target,

3375
04:16:59,680 --> 04:17:05,079
on seventeen, nineteen forty eight, the Armenian Orthodox Patriar Patriarchate

3376
04:17:05,760 --> 04:17:08,959
was shelled with about one hundred mortar rounds launched by

3377
04:17:09,000 --> 04:17:12,680
Zionist forces from the already occupied Monastery of the Benedictine

3378
04:17:12,719 --> 04:17:17,879
Fathers on Mount Zion. The bombardment also damaged Saint Jacob's Convent,

3379
04:17:17,959 --> 04:17:23,200
the Archangel's Convent, and their appended churches, their two elementary

3380
04:17:23,200 --> 04:17:26,520
and seminary schools, as well as their libraries, killing eight

3381
04:17:26,559 --> 04:17:32,479
people and winning one hundred and twenty. Does this sound familiar?

3382
04:17:36,600 --> 04:17:45,440
They're still doing this today. Truman, who's caving into Zionist

3383
04:17:45,479 --> 04:17:48,559
pressures had helped create the disaster, now tried to convince

3384
04:17:48,639 --> 04:17:51,120
Israel to allow the refugees to return to their homes.

3385
04:17:51,719 --> 04:17:55,440
His main representative working on this was Mark Ethridge, former

3386
04:17:55,520 --> 04:18:00,040
publisher of the Louisville Courier Journal. Ethridge was disgusted at

3387
04:18:00,079 --> 04:18:03,879
Israel's refusal, reporting to the State Department, what I can

3388
04:18:04,000 --> 04:18:07,319
see is an abortion of justice and humanity to which

3389
04:18:07,360 --> 04:18:16,159
I do not want to be midwife. The State Department

3390
04:18:16,200 --> 04:18:20,200
finally threatened to withhold forty nine million of unallocated funds

3391
04:18:20,239 --> 04:18:24,520
from an Export Import Bank loan to Israel if it

3392
04:18:24,559 --> 04:18:27,600
did not allow at least two hundred thousand refugees to return.

3393
04:18:28,559 --> 04:18:32,280
The US Coordinator on Palestine Refugee matters, George C McGee,

3394
04:18:32,280 --> 04:18:35,399
delivered the message to the Israeli ambassador and later described

3395
04:18:35,399 --> 04:18:38,639
his response. The ambassador looked me straight in the eye

3396
04:18:38,719 --> 04:18:42,079
and said in essence that I wouldn't get by with

3397
04:18:42,399 --> 04:18:45,559
this move, that he would stop it. Within an hour

3398
04:18:45,600 --> 04:18:48,000
of my return to my office, I received the message

3399
04:18:48,040 --> 04:18:50,479
from the White House that the President wished to disassociate

3400
04:18:50,559 --> 04:18:55,239
himself with any withholding of the x I AM Bank loan.

3401
04:18:57,079 --> 04:19:00,280
Edwin Wright, a State Department Middle East specialist from teen

3402
04:19:00,319 --> 04:19:03,280
forty five to nineteen sixty six, was the subject of

3403
04:19:03,319 --> 04:19:06,520
an oral history interview many years later for the Truman Library.

3404
04:19:07,360 --> 04:19:11,799
About this interview, he said, the material I gave the interviewer,

3405
04:19:11,840 --> 04:19:15,760
Professor McKenzie, was of a very controversial nature, one of

3406
04:19:15,840 --> 04:19:18,280
most taboo in US circles, and as much as I do,

3407
04:19:18,879 --> 04:19:22,000
I accuse the Zionists of using political pressures and even

3408
04:19:22,000 --> 04:19:24,920
deceit in order to get the US involved in a

3409
04:19:25,000 --> 04:19:31,159
policy of supporting a Zionist, theocratic, ethnically exclusive, and ambitious

3410
04:19:31,319 --> 04:19:35,319
Jewish state. I and my associates in the State Department

3411
04:19:35,319 --> 04:19:38,159
felt this was contrary to US interests, and we were

3412
04:19:38,200 --> 04:19:49,200
overruled by President Truman. Why would they be overruled? All right,

3413
04:19:49,280 --> 04:19:52,600
let's see where we are here. I'm going to scroll

3414
04:19:52,680 --> 04:19:54,799
up because I think we're almost done with the whole

3415
04:19:54,799 --> 04:19:58,399
basis of the book, with the whole main part of

3416
04:19:58,440 --> 04:20:00,520
the book. Maybe the main part part of the book

3417
04:20:00,600 --> 04:20:03,399
is all the extra stuff. Yeah, we only have two

3418
04:20:03,440 --> 04:20:08,079
chapters left, so this is maybe I'll just finish this.

3419
04:20:08,479 --> 04:20:14,479
Who they all knows? All right? Chapter fifteen Zionists Influence

3420
04:20:14,719 --> 04:20:20,440
in the Media. As a Storian, Richard Stevens notes, Zionists

3421
04:20:20,520 --> 04:20:23,280
early on learned to exploit the essential nature of the

3422
04:20:23,280 --> 04:20:26,760
American political system that policies can be made and unmade

3423
04:20:26,799 --> 04:20:30,040
through force of public opinion and pressure. Procuring influence in

3424
04:20:30,079 --> 04:20:32,239
the media, both paid and unpaid, has been a key

3425
04:20:32,239 --> 04:20:35,520
component of their success. Let's remember what the Jews and

3426
04:20:35,559 --> 04:20:41,600
the revolutionaries did in Russia. They own newspapers. The Jews

3427
04:20:41,639 --> 04:20:45,440
owned newspapers in Germany. So the quote unquote program of

3428
04:20:45,520 --> 04:20:49,040
nineteen oh five, I think it was the kishenev or

3429
04:20:49,479 --> 04:20:55,079
I think it was the Odessa one. The first day

3430
04:20:55,799 --> 04:20:59,639
for anything really even kicked off in Germany. A Jewish

3431
04:20:59,719 --> 04:21:02,879
news paper was saying that tens of thousands of Jews

3432
04:21:02,879 --> 04:21:12,760
had already been killed. They said in one quote unquote program, Oh,

3433
04:21:13,479 --> 04:21:16,559
they were putting nails into my head through my nose.

3434
04:21:21,920 --> 04:21:26,479
So Zionists influence in the media. From early on, the

3435
04:21:26,559 --> 04:21:30,159
Zionist narrative largely dominated news coverage from the region. A

3436
04:21:30,200 --> 04:21:35,440
study of four leading newspapers nineteen seventeen coverage showed that

3437
04:21:35,520 --> 04:21:41,040
the editorial opinion almost universally favored the Zionists position. Author

3438
04:21:41,159 --> 04:21:45,840
Kathleen Christensen notes that editorials and news stories alike applauded

3439
04:21:45,920 --> 04:21:49,360
Jewish enterprise Harold did a Jewish return to Palestine as

3440
04:21:49,399 --> 04:21:52,680
glorious news. Other studies showed the same situation for the

3441
04:21:52,760 --> 04:21:58,000
nineteen twenties. Christisen writes the relatively heavy press coverage as

3442
04:21:58,040 --> 04:22:00,760
an indicator of the extent ofis in influence even in

3443
04:22:00,799 --> 04:22:04,840
this early period. One scholar has estimated that as of

3444
04:22:04,920 --> 04:22:08,200
the mid nineteen twenties, approximately half of all New York

3445
04:22:08,200 --> 04:22:11,959
Times articles were placed by press agents, suggesting that US

3446
04:22:12,040 --> 04:22:15,120
Zionist organizations may have placed many of these articles on

3447
04:22:15,239 --> 04:22:19,399
Zionism's Palestine endeavors. At one point, when the State Department

3448
04:22:19,440 --> 04:22:22,920
was trying to convince Israel to allow Palestinian refugees to return,

3449
04:22:23,360 --> 04:22:26,959
Secretary of State George Marshall wrote, quote, the leaders of

3450
04:22:27,079 --> 04:22:30,079
Israel would make a grave miscalculation if they thought callous

3451
04:22:30,120 --> 04:22:34,639
treatment of this tragic issue could pass unnoted by world opinion.

3452
04:22:36,520 --> 04:22:40,479
Marshall underestimated the ability of Zionists to minimize the information

3453
04:22:40,520 --> 04:22:45,440
on Palestinian refugees reaching Americans. A State Department study in

3454
04:22:45,479 --> 04:22:48,440
March nineteen forty nine found the American public was unaware

3455
04:22:48,479 --> 04:22:51,639
of the Palestine refugee problem since it has not been

3456
04:22:51,680 --> 04:22:58,639
hammered away at by the press or radio since October seventh.

3457
04:22:58,680 --> 04:23:02,559
I mean, basically, where do you see the pictures? I mean,

3458
04:23:02,600 --> 04:23:06,200
you've seen articles in mainstream papers, but where do you

3459
04:23:06,200 --> 04:23:08,319
see the worst pictures? You see them on social media

3460
04:23:09,639 --> 04:23:17,600
where they're trying to control where international jewelry is saying

3461
04:23:17,600 --> 04:23:21,280
we need to buy TikTok so we can stop this.

3462
04:23:22,639 --> 04:23:26,840
We can't control it. Even though the telegram channel seventy

3463
04:23:26,879 --> 04:23:30,959
seven Virgins, which was posting up the worst videos you

3464
04:23:31,000 --> 04:23:33,559
could possibly think of, found out it was run by

3465
04:23:33,559 --> 04:23:41,879
the IDF. Because I don't know why they wanted a

3466
04:23:41,920 --> 04:23:50,200
brag about what they were doing. It's hard to understand,

3467
04:23:50,319 --> 04:23:57,079
isn't it. As author Alfred Lilienthal explained in nineteen fifty three,

3468
04:23:57,159 --> 04:23:59,959
the capture of the American press by Jewish nationalism was

3469
04:24:00,120 --> 04:24:03,760
in fact incredibly complete. Magazines, as well as newspapers and

3470
04:24:03,840 --> 04:24:06,719
news stories, as well as editorial columns, gave primarily the

3471
04:24:06,799 --> 04:24:11,079
Zionist views of events before, during, and after partition. When

3472
04:24:11,079 --> 04:24:13,680
The Saturday Evening Post published an article by Milton Mayer

3473
04:24:13,719 --> 04:24:17,280
that criticized Jewish nationalism and carried two other articles giving

3474
04:24:17,280 --> 04:24:20,559
opposing views, Zionis organized what was probably the worst attack

3475
04:24:20,600 --> 04:24:24,159
on the Post in its long history. Zionis inundated the

3476
04:24:24,200 --> 04:24:28,079
magazine with vitriolic mail, canceled their subscriptions, and withdrew their advertising.

3477
04:24:28,319 --> 04:24:31,600
The Post learned its lesson later, refusing to publish an

3478
04:24:31,680 --> 04:24:35,600
article that would have again exposed it to such an onslaught,

3479
04:24:36,280 --> 04:24:39,120
even though the editor acknowledged that the rejected piece was

3480
04:24:39,280 --> 04:24:43,840
a good and eloquent article. This was typical in a

3481
04:24:43,879 --> 04:24:47,360
campaign in which Zionis exploited sympathy for victimized Jews, and

3482
04:24:47,399 --> 04:24:52,040
when this did not sufficiently skew reporting about Palestine, used

3483
04:24:52,079 --> 04:24:57,959
financial pressures. Lilienthal writes, if voluntary compliance was not understanding enough,

3484
04:24:58,319 --> 04:25:01,120
there was always the matter of Jewish advert sizing and circulation.

3485
04:25:01,559 --> 04:25:05,799
The threat of economic recriminations from Jewish advertisers, combined with

3486
04:25:05,840 --> 04:25:08,479
the fact that the fatal label of anti Semite would

3487
04:25:08,479 --> 04:25:13,680
be pinned on any editor stepping out a line assuredly, fullest, assured,

3488
04:25:13,719 --> 04:25:20,559
fullest press cooperation. Author Christensen reports that from the moment

3489
04:25:20,600 --> 04:25:24,200
partition was voted by the UN, the press played a

3490
04:25:24,239 --> 04:25:27,520
critical role in building a framework for thinking that would

3491
04:25:27,719 --> 04:25:30,840
endure for decades. She writes, its shortly before May fifteenth,

3492
04:25:30,920 --> 04:25:33,399
nineteen forty eight, the scheduled beginning of the Jewish State,

3493
04:25:33,680 --> 04:25:37,239
a total of twenty four US, British and Australian reporters

3494
04:25:37,280 --> 04:25:42,680
converged on Palestine. Virtually all reporting was from the Jewish perspective,

3495
04:25:42,680 --> 04:25:47,000
reports Christensen. The journals, The Nation and The New Republic

3496
04:25:47,040 --> 04:25:52,360
both showed what one scholar calls an overt emotional partiality

3497
04:25:52,399 --> 04:25:55,600
towards the Jews. No item published in either journal was

3498
04:25:56,159 --> 04:26:00,360
sympathetic to the Arabs, and no correspondent was Staated and

3499
04:26:00,479 --> 04:26:04,280
Arab areas of Palestine, although some reporters lived with and

3500
04:26:04,360 --> 04:26:16,639
sometimes fought alongside Jewish settlers. Bookstores were inundated with books

3501
04:26:16,760 --> 04:26:21,920
espousing the Zionist point of view to enthusiastic press reviews. Conversely,

3502
04:26:21,920 --> 04:26:24,079
the few books published had dared to provide a different

3503
04:26:24,079 --> 04:26:27,440
perspective were given scathing reviews when they were reviewed at all.

3504
04:26:27,959 --> 04:26:30,479
When Professor Miller Burrows at the Yale School of Divinity,

3505
04:26:30,520 --> 04:26:34,000
a distinguished scholar and archaeologist, wrote Palestine as Our Business,

3506
04:26:34,200 --> 04:26:38,799
the American Zionist Council distributed a publication labeling his book

3507
04:26:39,040 --> 04:26:44,200
an anti Semitic opus. In fact, Professor Burrow's life history

3508
04:26:44,239 --> 04:26:47,280
showed the opposite. He had been one of the organizers

3509
04:26:47,280 --> 04:26:49,840
and vice president of the National Committee to Combat Anti

3510
04:26:49,840 --> 04:26:52,680
Semitism and long been active in the interfaith movement in

3511
04:26:52,760 --> 04:26:58,879
New Haven. Doesn't Matter, Doesn't Matter. In his book, Burrows wrote,

3512
04:26:58,920 --> 04:27:01,799
a terrible wrong has been to the native people of Palestine.

3513
04:27:02,600 --> 04:27:05,680
The blame for what has happened must be distributed among

3514
04:27:05,760 --> 04:27:09,639
all concerned, including ourselves. Our own interests, both as Americans

3515
04:27:09,680 --> 04:27:12,680
and as Christians are endangered. The interests of the Jewish

3516
04:27:12,760 --> 04:27:16,440
people also have suffered, and we still and we can

3517
04:27:16,479 --> 04:27:19,799
still do something about it. Burrows emphasize this is a

3518
04:27:19,879 --> 04:27:22,840
question of the most immediate and vital concern to many

3519
04:27:22,920 --> 04:27:25,959
hundreds of thousands of living people. It is an issue

3520
04:27:25,959 --> 04:27:29,040
on which one concerned with right and wrong must take

3521
04:27:29,040 --> 04:27:32,680
a position and try to do something or I can

3522
04:27:32,719 --> 04:27:35,399
hear people screaming I don't care about these people at all.

3523
04:27:35,600 --> 04:27:39,120
They're both brown and who cares? And you know, although

3524
04:27:39,120 --> 04:27:42,760
they own our government, right, So yeah, I'm above this,

3525
04:27:43,479 --> 04:27:46,959
but I'll complain and just call everybody on social media

3526
04:27:47,000 --> 04:27:52,879
a jew who disagrees with me. People really aren't that

3527
04:27:52,959 --> 04:28:00,239
smart at all, and you won't take a side, which

3528
04:28:00,319 --> 04:28:06,920
is just cowardice. I mean, I could see if it

3529
04:28:07,000 --> 04:28:11,959
was just two, if it was the friggin something that

3530
04:28:12,040 --> 04:28:14,959
was happening in Africa with two tribes, but we don't

3531
04:28:15,120 --> 04:28:18,479
have not These people own us. These people own our government,

3532
04:28:18,920 --> 04:28:22,639
they own our banks, they own Hollywood, they own entertainment,

3533
04:28:22,639 --> 04:28:28,200
they own education. No, no, I'll just ignore it. I'll

3534
04:28:28,280 --> 04:28:31,639
keep complaining about it, but I'm not going to take

3535
04:28:31,639 --> 04:28:37,159
a side. They're Bob Brown. Burrows wrote that imposing a

3536
04:28:37,239 --> 04:28:40,600
Jewish state on Palestine violated the principle of self determination

3537
04:28:40,719 --> 04:28:42,440
and noted that the right of the majority of the

3538
04:28:42,479 --> 04:28:44,639
people of a country to choose their own government would

3539
04:28:44,639 --> 04:28:49,440
hardly be questioned than any other instance. Well, I think

3540
04:28:49,479 --> 04:28:52,920
they did a really good job of returning that on us,

3541
04:28:53,000 --> 04:29:00,440
didn't they. Burrows criticized what he termed pro zionus writing

3542
04:29:00,479 --> 04:29:02,879
and points it out that a quite different view of

3543
04:29:02,920 --> 04:29:06,000
the situation would emerge if the word resistance were used.

3544
04:29:06,239 --> 04:29:09,959
When describing Palestinian and Arab fighting. In nineteen forty eight,

3545
04:29:10,440 --> 04:29:12,719
he wrote that the plan for Palestine advocated by the

3546
04:29:12,760 --> 04:29:16,000
Arabs was a democracy with freedom of religion and complete

3547
04:29:16,040 --> 04:29:19,399
separation of religion in the state as in this country.

3548
04:29:20,200 --> 04:29:24,200
Burrows also discussed religious aspects, stating, one thing is certain,

3549
04:29:24,479 --> 04:29:27,200
Nothing that is essentially unjust or contrary to the spirit

3550
04:29:27,239 --> 04:29:29,479
of Christ can be the will of God. Let him

3551
04:29:29,479 --> 04:29:34,079
who speaks of fulfillment of prophecy. Remember Jeremiah twenty two thirteen.

3552
04:29:34,440 --> 04:29:37,760
Woe one to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness.

3553
04:29:39,360 --> 04:29:43,200
I think he's making a comment there to the dispensationalists.

3554
04:29:45,200 --> 04:29:48,280
In his conclusion, Burrows stated all the Arab refugees who

3555
04:29:48,280 --> 04:29:50,200
want to return to their homes must be allowed and

3556
04:29:50,239 --> 04:29:52,680
help to do so, and must be restored to their

3557
04:29:52,680 --> 04:29:55,680
own villages, houses, and farms or places of business, with

3558
04:29:55,760 --> 04:30:00,159
adequate compensation from the government of Israel for destruction and damage.

3559
04:30:00,719 --> 04:30:03,079
He also stated homes must be found in this country

3560
04:30:03,200 --> 04:30:05,920
or elsewhere for Jews desiring to become citizens of other

3561
04:30:05,959 --> 04:30:09,760
countries in Israel, and their religious, civil, social and economic

3562
04:30:09,840 --> 04:30:13,559
rights must be guaranteed in their onslaught against them. Zionists

3563
04:30:13,559 --> 04:30:18,559
accused Burrows of careless writing, disjointed reporting, and extremely biased observation.

3564
04:30:19,280 --> 04:30:24,760
This is exactly what they say, now exactly. I posted

3565
04:30:24,840 --> 04:30:29,959
up a link to my reading of Crying Wolf hate

3566
04:30:30,000 --> 04:30:32,879
crime hoaxes in the United States, and someone's like, oh,

3567
04:30:32,879 --> 04:30:37,799
so you just believe everything you read on YouTube. It's like, no, actually,

3568
04:30:37,840 --> 04:30:41,399
it's my reporting. I read the book, I looked at

3569
04:30:41,399 --> 04:30:45,079
the research, I looked at the footnotes, and then I

3570
04:30:45,159 --> 04:30:50,639
read it. They don't even care. They operate off of

3571
04:30:50,680 --> 04:30:54,920
a script. You're never going to convince them of anything.

3572
04:30:57,200 --> 04:31:01,799
All you can do is humiliate them, show them how

3573
04:31:01,840 --> 04:31:08,600
small they are, and tell them no more, no fucking more.

3574
04:31:13,120 --> 04:31:16,479
Another author who described the misery of Palestinian refugees as

3575
04:31:16,520 --> 04:31:20,000
well as Jewish suffering in Israel, Willie snow Ethridge, was

3576
04:31:20,000 --> 04:31:23,959
similarly attacked by pro Israel reviewers. When she was invited

3577
04:31:23,959 --> 04:31:26,760
to address the Maryland Teachers Association and chose to speak

3578
04:31:26,760 --> 04:31:29,399
on her book Journey to Jerusalem, she was told she

3579
04:31:29,440 --> 04:31:32,120
must speak on a different subject. The secretary of the

3580
04:31:32,159 --> 04:31:34,799
association explained that so much pressure had been brought on

3581
04:31:34,920 --> 04:31:37,000
him that he would lose his job if she didn't

3582
04:31:37,079 --> 04:31:41,280
change to another subject. Still another was the eminent dean

3583
04:31:41,319 --> 04:31:46,040
of Barnard College, Virginia Guildersleeve, a highly distinguished personage with

3584
04:31:46,159 --> 04:31:49,959
impeccable credentials as a humanitarian. When she wrote that Palestinian

3585
04:31:50,000 --> 04:31:52,040
refugees should be allowed to return to their homes, a

3586
04:31:52,120 --> 04:31:59,079
campaign was launched against her, labeling her a Christian anti Semite. Guildersleeve,

3587
04:31:59,079 --> 04:32:01,280
who had been instrumental in drafting the Preamble of the

3588
04:32:01,399 --> 04:32:04,280
UN Charter and had taken a leading role in creating

3589
04:32:04,319 --> 04:32:07,239
the UN Human Rights Commission, Later devoted herself to working

3590
04:32:07,280 --> 04:32:10,120
for human rights in the Middle East. She testified before

3591
04:32:10,319 --> 04:32:16,760
congressional committees and lobbied President Truman to novail. In her memoir,

3592
04:32:16,959 --> 04:32:20,920
she attributed such failures to the Zionist control of the

3593
04:32:21,000 --> 04:32:28,799
media of communication. All right, let's finish this up. Finish

3594
04:32:28,799 --> 04:32:36,239
a book now. Chapter sixteen. Dorothy Thompson, played by Catherine

3595
04:32:36,280 --> 04:32:42,639
Hepburn and Lauren McCall, America's most famous female journalists at

3596
04:32:42,639 --> 04:32:46,280
the time, also attempted valiantly but unsuccessfully, to tell Americans

3597
04:32:46,280 --> 04:32:51,440
about Palestinian refugees. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Dorothy Thompson

3598
04:32:51,520 --> 04:32:55,239
was one of the most famous journalists of the twentieth century.

3599
04:32:55,559 --> 04:32:59,920
Thompson's columns was in column was in newspapers all over

3600
04:33:00,120 --> 04:33:02,719
the country, and her radio program listened to by tens

3601
04:33:02,760 --> 04:33:05,599
of millions of Americans. She had been married to one

3602
04:33:05,599 --> 04:33:08,959
of America's most famous novelists, Grace, the cover of Time magazine,

3603
04:33:09,000 --> 04:33:12,479
been profiled by America's top magazines, and was so well

3604
04:33:12,520 --> 04:33:17,599
known that that woman of the Year a Hollywood So

3605
04:33:17,720 --> 04:33:20,080
well known that Woman of the Year a Hollywood movie

3606
04:33:20,119 --> 04:33:25,119
feature featuring Catherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy and a Broadway

3607
04:33:25,200 --> 04:33:31,040
play starring Lauren Baccall were based on her. She had

3608
04:33:31,040 --> 04:33:33,639
been the first journalist to be expelled by Adolf Hitler

3609
04:33:33,680 --> 04:33:36,560
and had raised the alarm against Nazis long ahead of

3610
04:33:36,639 --> 04:33:40,479
most other journalists. She had originally supported Zionism, but then

3611
04:33:40,520 --> 04:33:44,200
after the war, had visited the region in person. She

3612
04:33:44,279 --> 04:33:49,840
had been there, she began to speak about Palestinian refugees,

3613
04:33:50,000 --> 04:33:54,840
narrated a documentary about their plight, and condemned Jewish terrorism.

3614
04:33:55,720 --> 04:34:00,759
She sounds like a horrible anti semi, doesn't she. Thompson

3615
04:34:00,880 --> 04:34:03,520
was viciously attacked in an orchestrated campaign of what she

3616
04:34:03,639 --> 04:34:08,200
termed career assassination and character assassination. She wrote, it has

3617
04:34:08,279 --> 04:34:11,279
been boundless going into my personal life. She wrote, to

3618
04:34:11,279 --> 04:34:15,040
this organized attack, when letter after letter is couched in

3619
04:34:15,080 --> 04:34:20,319
almost identical phraseology, I do not think that the authors

3620
04:34:20,400 --> 04:34:26,040
have been gifted with telepathy. She was dropped by The

3621
04:34:26,080 --> 04:34:29,040
New York Post, whose editor Ted Thackeray and his wife

3622
04:34:29,119 --> 04:34:34,319
Dorothy Schiff were said to by other Post editors to

3623
04:34:34,360 --> 04:34:39,520
be very close to the Ergoun and Monochem began began

3624
04:34:39,680 --> 04:34:44,520
the Urgonist the Stern Gang and other Zionist organizations. Terrorist

3625
04:34:44,720 --> 04:34:50,520
organizations had, according to one commenter, inordinate access to the

3626
04:34:50,599 --> 04:34:57,599
Post's editorial board. Dorothy Schiff, granddaughter of financeer Jacob Schiff

3627
04:34:57,639 --> 04:35:02,000
and owner of the Post, later divorced Thakrey and married

3628
04:35:02,200 --> 04:35:07,080
Rudolph Sonnaborne. Do you remember the Saunaborne? Do you remember

3629
04:35:07,080 --> 04:35:12,479
that name? Thompson's mail was filled with ferocious accusations as

3630
04:35:12,479 --> 04:35:17,680
she was anti Semitic for publicizing Zionist cruelties. One such

3631
04:35:17,720 --> 04:35:21,639
correspondent told her that her filthy indictments to that her

3632
04:35:21,639 --> 04:35:25,880
filthy indictment incitements to pograms would not be tolerated by

3633
04:35:25,880 --> 04:35:30,479
New York Jews. Before long, her column and radio programs,

3634
04:35:30,479 --> 04:35:33,880
her speaking engagements in her fame were all gone. Today

3635
04:35:33,919 --> 04:35:38,919
she has largely been erased from history. In the coming decades,

3636
04:35:39,000 --> 04:35:41,759
other Americans were similarly written out of history, forced out

3637
04:35:41,759 --> 04:35:46,319
of office, their lives and careers destroyed. History was distorted, rewritten, erased,

3638
04:35:46,360 --> 04:35:51,840
bigotry promoted supremacy, disguised facts replaced by fraud. Very few

3639
04:35:51,840 --> 04:35:55,240
people know this history. The excellent books that documented are

3640
04:35:55,319 --> 04:35:58,720
largely out of print, their facts and very existence virtually

3641
04:35:58,799 --> 04:36:01,759
unknown to the VASM major already of Americans, even those

3642
04:36:01,759 --> 04:36:04,840
who focus on the Middle East. Instead, false theories have

3643
04:36:04,880 --> 04:36:11,040
been promulgated, Mendacious analysis is promoted, Chosen authors celebrated, others

3644
04:36:11,080 --> 04:36:15,680
assigned to oblivion. George Arwell once wrote, who controls the

3645
04:36:15,720 --> 04:36:19,279
past controls the future? Who controls the present controls the past?

3646
04:36:19,959 --> 04:36:23,080
Perhaps by rediscovering the past will gain control of the

3647
04:36:23,119 --> 04:36:29,919
present and save the future. Is what does that last

3648
04:36:30,680 --> 04:36:36,639
sentence mean? She's basically saying that if if we don't

3649
04:36:36,639 --> 04:36:41,759
stop this, we have no future. What are we witnessing now?

3650
04:36:44,439 --> 04:36:50,240
Israel bombs Iran? Why Iran might have a nuclear weapon?

3651
04:36:51,119 --> 04:36:53,319
They might be, and we can't allow Iran to have

3652
04:36:53,360 --> 04:36:59,360
a nuclear weapon. Israel has nuclear weapons. They've never signed

3653
04:36:59,360 --> 04:37:03,799
a non profile proliferation treaty. But apparently that's fine. It's

3654
04:37:03,799 --> 04:37:06,400
perfectly fine with people. Most Americans are like, hey, who

3655
04:37:06,439 --> 04:37:08,439
cares you know what I mean? It's Israel. They can

3656
04:37:08,520 --> 04:37:11,759
do they can do no wrong. So they bomb Tehran,

3657
04:37:12,439 --> 04:37:22,720
kill people, and Roan's like, okay, well retaliation. They're crying pogram,

3658
04:37:25,159 --> 04:37:29,919
they're crying war crimes. My comments on one of them was,

3659
04:37:31,400 --> 04:37:37,919
I'm looking at pictures of Gaza. Let me know when

3660
04:37:37,959 --> 04:37:46,360
Tel Aviv looks like Gaza. Does anyone really think that

3661
04:37:46,479 --> 04:37:55,479
Israel won't use a nuke after what they've done? I

3662
04:37:55,520 --> 04:38:00,680
know this can be black pilling as hell, but so

3663
04:38:00,759 --> 04:38:07,319
many people have gone through history without knowing exactly who

3664
04:38:07,319 --> 04:38:14,360
the enemy is. If you read this book with me,

3665
04:38:15,279 --> 04:38:18,279
if you're reading two hundred years together with me, if

3666
04:38:18,279 --> 04:38:21,799
you're paying attention at all, at least you know who

3667
04:38:21,799 --> 04:38:30,759
the enemy is. Footnotes here are absolutely insane. I'm gonna

3668
04:38:30,799 --> 04:38:34,639
go up to the top real quick and just show

3669
04:38:34,959 --> 04:38:43,639
the further reading. I mean, she's got books upon books here,

3670
04:38:44,439 --> 04:38:50,240
and she has endnotes. These endnotes are seventy plus pages.

3671
04:38:56,520 --> 04:39:00,159
I mean, I don't know what to say anymore. It

3672
04:39:00,159 --> 04:39:07,080
seems like people just it's not at this point, I

3673
04:39:07,119 --> 04:39:09,959
don't I don't think there's anything that you can do.

3674
04:39:10,439 --> 04:39:16,240
If you're watching this, if you're listening to this, how

3675
04:39:16,240 --> 04:39:20,599
about you just agree that you know who the problem is.

3676
04:39:26,439 --> 04:39:28,680
It's hard for me to believe anybody could listen to

3677
04:39:28,720 --> 04:39:31,360
this and not be like, yeah, I know who the

3678
04:39:31,360 --> 04:39:40,319
problem is. That's it. I'll think about another book to

3679
04:39:40,840 --> 04:39:43,799
book to go through, read some articles or something, and

3680
04:39:44,520 --> 04:39:47,000
try to keep stuff coming at you, all right, So

3681
04:39:48,080 --> 04:39:52,639
that's it. Alison weirs against our better judgment, as Palette

3682
04:39:52,639 --> 04:39:55,439
and YYZ said, what a great name for a book

3683
04:39:57,639 --> 04:40:01,000
Take Care in a couple of days, but
