More on Jewish power, Israel, Zionism and the so called 'anti'...
By Gilad Atzmon
Surely, what’s happening now in Iraq and Syria must serve as a final wakeup call that we have been led into a horrific situation in the Middle East by a powerful Lobby driven by the interests of one tribe and one tribe alone.
Back in 1982, Oded Yinon an Israeli journalist formerly attached to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, published a document titled ‘A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties.’This Israeli commentator suggested that for Israel to maintain its regional superiority, it must fragment its surrounding Arab states into smaller units. The document, later labelled as ‘Yinon Plan’, implied that Arabs and Muslims killing each other in endless sectarian wars was, in effect, Israel’s insurance policy.
Of course, regardless of the Yinon Plan’s prophesies, one might still argue that this has nothing to do with Jewish lobbying, politics or institutions but is just one more Israeli strategic proposal except that it is impossible to ignore that the Neocon school of thought that pushed the English-speaking Empire into Iraq was largely a Jewish Diaspora, Zionist clan. It’s also no secret that the 2nd Gulf War was fought to serve Israeli interests - breaking into sectarian units what then seemed to be the last pocket of Arab resistance to Israel.
A Film Review by Richard Falk
OMAR is the second film directed by Hany Abu-Assad to be a finalist among foreign language films nominated to receive an Oscar at the 2014 Academy Awards ceremony on March 2nd. The earlier film, PARADISE NOW (2005), brought to life the preoccupation at the time with suicide bombing as the principle tactic of Palestinian resistance by exposing the deep inner conflicts of those who partake, the tragic effects of such terror on its Israeli targets, and the hardened manipulative mentality of the leaders who prepare the perpetrators. Abu-Assad born in 1961 in Nazareth, emigrated to the Netherlands in 1980, writes the screen plays for his movies as well as directs. He has a great talent for story telling that keeps an audience enthralled by the human drama affecting the principal Palestinian characters while illuminating broader issues of profound moral and political concern without stooping to didactic or clichéd means of conveying ‘the message.’ So understood, Abu-Assad’s achievement is artistic in the primary sense, yet attunes us to the dilemmas of oppression and servitude.
Life Under Occupation
In these respects OMAR is superior even to PARADISE NOW in its enduring effects on viewers. By telling the story of what life under Israeli occupation means for the way Palestinian lives are lived day in and day out, the film brilliantly depicts the normalcy’s of romantic attraction contrasting with the abnormalities of humiliating and tormented lives lived behind prison walls. The film opens with Omar climbing the high domineering security wall to overcome the separation of Arab families living on either side, being detected by the Israeli guards who sound sirens and fire a shot. Omar manages to clamor back down and leap to safety. Israeli police on foot and in cars madly chase Omar through the alleyways and streets of an impoverished Palestinian neighborhood. The underlying poignancy of Omar’s situation is to be at once ‘a freedom fighter’ and a sensitive young man deeply in love with Nadia, the younger sister of Tarek, his militia commander. In an unspoken realism, Omar is unconditionally bound to both causes, jeopardizing his chance to live a shadow life of acquiescence to the realities of occupation by his choice to dedicate himself at great risk and little hope to the liberation of the Palestinian people and their land.

One of the most important Palestinian feature films ever, Omar is, to date, the deepest expose of the diabolical nature of the Israeli occupation and the inhuman situation imposed on Palestinians by the Jewish State. It also throws light on the tragic and depressing Palestinian struggle against a sophisticated, demonic enemy - an on-going battle that so far has led nowhere.
In his latest film, Palestinian director Hany Abu Assad sets Omar (Adam Bakri), a young freedom fighter in an impossible, yet common, Palestinian dilemma, caught in a devastating triangle between his patriotic commitment, romance and the omnipresent Jewish State – a brutal, Orwellian, Big Brother that sees everything, knows everything, sets people against each other and controls everything through a network of collaborators even within the resistance.
Once captured by the IDF and being subject to some horrendous physical and mental torture by Israeli intelligence, Omar is set into a hellish scenario. He eventually manages to buy the Israeli’s trust, he lets them believe that he is willing to cooperate. At that moment Omar pretty much seals his fate. He is destined to lose everything.
Though we, comfortable in our cinema seats, know that he never compromised his commitment to his people, one by one, the Palestinians around him, led to believe he is a traitor, they turn their backs on him. Losing the love of his life to his friend - clearly a collaborator - he is ostracised by fellow warriors and their families. Omar, a Palestinian patriot, becomes a pawn in an evil Israeli game. As his situation deteriorates and his tragedy unfolds in front of our eyes, he remains aware of it all, and we, who witness this emerging tragedy, also can see no way out.
Agent Rami (Waleed Zuaiter), the veritable ‘good cop’ is the Israeli intelligence operator who recruits Omar. He appears to be humane, he never uses physical pressure, he also has his own family matters to handle, wife, kid etc’. But all those ‘humane’ symptoms are there to cover a deeply sinister and hideous character. Rami is in fact a cold blood Israeli monster who shatters the lives of others in a mass scale. He systematically makes empathy and human affection into a highly functional instruments of total abuse.

Dr. Ruth, American sex therapist, media personality, and author, explains why she feels home to the Celebrate Israel Parade taking place every year on Fifth Avenue.
By Gilad Atzmon
Yesterday The Jerusalem Post published its “list of the world’s 50 most influential Jews,” those who in one way or another have “worked tirelessly for the improvement of humanity and, in doing so, have made their mark on history.”
The truth is that the list does not exactly fit the Post’s description of it. Not a single humanist is listed; instead we find a catalogue of Jewish war criminals, financiers, gambling tycoons, ethnic cleanser advocates, a Holocaust fraudster, a few Rabbis with minimal importance even within the Jewish world and one Ethiopian entertainer.
I guess that for those who are still desperate to find a Jewish humanist, Masada 2000’s S.H.I.T List is the place to find them.
The J Post’s list is headed by US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, “who in his position in the cabinet is vital to shaping President Barack Obama’s policy.” Lew is followed by Janet Yellen, “another American Jew who made history this year when she became the first woman ever appointed chair of the Federal Reserve.” Apparently the 1st and 2nd ‘most influential Jews in the world’ are now taking care of American finance. Let’s hope that these ‘influential Jews’ know what they are doing because the last two influential Jews who ran the Federal Reserve left the world’s economy in ruin.
A very interesting informal and rather personal exchange between Eisen & Atzmon touching the most sensitive topics. I learned a lot from this exchange and I am sure that the followers of this site will be fascinated.

Is Jewish power falling apart?
Haaretz reported yesterday that India, China and Turkey called on the international community to throw its support behind the new Palestinian government. Russia followed suit several hours later. European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton also issued a statement calling the formation of the unity government "an important step" the process of Palestinian reconciliation.
Ashton said: "we welcome the appointment of a government of independent personalities and the declaration by President Abbas that this new government is committed to the principle of the two state solution based on the 1967 borders, to the recognition of Israel's legitimate right to exist, to non-violence and to the respect of previous agreements," the statement read. "The EU's engagement with the new Palestinian government will be based on its adherence to these policies and commitments."
Press TV correspondent Joshua Blakeney was interviewed about an unpleasant email he had received from the Jewish Defence League. The JDL was described by the FBI as a "violent extremist organization" in a report entitled "Terrorism 200/2001". Blakeney vowed to continue "soldiering on" in his struggle to expose the pro-Zionist falsehoods of the political and journalistic establishment.

Alimuddin Usmani interviews Gilad Atzmon
Alimuddin Usmani: Despite its portrayal as racist and anti-Semitic by some French politicians and the mainstream media your Lyon conference with Alain Soral on May 26th was a huge success. Six hundred peaceful people attended the event. Tell us something about your impressions of this gathering.
Gilad Atzmon: Most of all, I was overwhelmed by the demography in the room. As I mentioned that evening, I have never witnessed such a diverse crowd. I guess that 30% of the people in the room were immigrants who see Soral and Egalitarian Reconciliation as the path to true Frenchness. So while the Left talks about ‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance,’ in spite of being predominantly white and totally detached from the lower classes. In the real world, it is Soral who is able to translate diversity into a popular awareness on both social and political level.
This leads me to reflect again on the distinction between dwelling and settlement. To dwell is to love your soil, to adore the sky above it and to cherish your culture with patriotic zeal. To settle, on the other hand, is to occupy a space, to consume, to take, but never to give back. The people whom we met at the conference were clearly dwellers. Many of them are immigrants, yet they are French patriots. The notion of a settler is descriptive of the Jewish wandering attitude. It explains why the Jewish State is an ecological disaster, why its rivers are poisonous, and it also explains why Diaspora Jews are so often attached to the Zionist dream and the ‘promised land’ instead of loving their neighbors wherever they are. Were the Zionist Jews dwelling in France, Britain or USA, they wouldn’t need the dream of returning to a phantasmic promised land. Were the Jewish anti Zionists dwellers (as opposed to settlers), they would fight Zion within a universal campaign instead of from Jews-only political cells that are as racially exclusive as the Jewish State.
I was truly inspired by Alain Soral, by his undeniable charisma, but also by his political message and superb analysis. It is rare to have the capacity to engage in a proper and lengthy intellectual exchange with a large crowd. Soral and I are progressing in parallel modes, we reach the same conclusions through totally different approaches. Very interesting indeed.
Alimuddin Usmani: On May 27 you performed a jazz concert with Dieudonné at Théâtre de la main d'or. Was he flattered by the comparison you made between him and the Christ?http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1uwhe4_gilad-atzmon-et-la-quenelle-de-dieudonne_webcam#from=embediframe
Gilad Atzmon: To start, let me say it was one the most exciting nights in my entire career. The place is a shrine to goodness and humanity. The positive and sincere vibration is something you detect as you enter the building, it is all-encompassing. Dieudonné himself is a force of nature. I am not surprised that the Jewish ethnic campaigners and their subservient ‘Socialist’ Government are tormented by this man – he is genuine – he is bonded with existence and connected with the people. Dieudonné possesses all of the Athenian qualities the Jerusalemites lack. He is not just Christ, he embodies the meaning of Christ, by means of laughter he transcends himself far beyond his plight.
By the way, I believe that the most interesting aspect of the parallels between Dieudonné and Christ is the similarity in ‘Christ killers,’ those who are united against goodness, truth and against universal and human brotherhood. The term ‘Christ killers’ also refers to the tactics employed in the crucifixion, the role of the Sabbos Goy, the Pontius Pilates of our time, who kill on behalf of others.

Following the surge of right wing parties in Europe’s Parliamentary election, Forward, the once-progressive Jewish outlet asks, “Have the Jews Lost Europe?” The tone of this question implies that until just a few days ago, at least some Jews believed that Europe was, in part, a ‘Jewish property.’ Such views were not baseless; Jewish Lobbies have dominated British and French policies by means of aggressive lobbying (CFI, LFI, CRIF etc’).
Following the European poll, Dave Rich, deputy director of the ultra Right Wing Jewish para-military Community Security Trust, is concerned. He detects a growing resentment of Jewish politics in Europe. His article in the Forward’s openly examines whether Jews have lost their grip on the European continent.
Rich begins by quoting Israeli veteran concentration camp guard Jeffrey Goldberg. “At what point,” asks Goldberg, “do the Jews of America and the Jews of Israel tell the Jews of Europe that it might be time to get out?” Apparently, says Rich, “Goldberg is not the only one to have had this thought. In fact, according to a 2013 opinion poll …more than a quarter of Jews in the E.U. have considered emigrating at some point in the past five years, because in their own countries they do not feel safe as Jews.”
Rich is also upset by growing European opposition toward Jewish blood rituals such as shchita slaughter and Jewish orthodox circumcision, a horrid unhygienic religious ceremony in which a Rabbi sucks the blood from an infant’s wounded penis (Metzitzah B'Peh). Rich is worried that ‘neo Nazis’ within the European parliaments may scrutinize Jewish religious practices and culture.
Rich may be correct, this kind of barbaric tribal blood ritual should have been banned ages ago. For some reason, our ‘Left’ and ‘Humanists’ failed to examine these morbid practices while at the same time their enthusiasm for human rights led them to ban the veil.
We spoke about The Guardian of Zion being a controlled opposition front, UKIP's success, immigration, political correctness we even touched the Holocaust and revisionism.

The undeniable surge in the support for Euro Sceptics and right wing parties in yesterday’s European Parliament election, suggests that the European working class, isn’t as apathetic as the Zionised Left wants it to be.
The nationalist, patriotic and anti-immigration parties took the lead all over Europe last night. In France, Marine Le Pen’s National Front pushed the shameless Socialist Party into third place. In Britain the situation was similar. Nigel Farage’s UKIP has taken the lead and is now a major player in British politics.
While the British conservatives were quick to react, advocating that immigration policy be reviewed and amended, the Left and its crony media expressed shock at the rise of the “far Right” and “Nazis.” Once again it is painful, but not surprising to witness the Left’s detachment from the working class.
French PM Valls who recently used every available tool to harass hugely popular black comedian Dieudonne in order to appease the French Jewish Lobby (CRIF), announced last night that the election results represented “a political earthquake in France.’ But can a popular vote on such a vast scale be an earthquake, a surprise or a shock? Not really, a moment of truth or epiphany is a better description of the political shift. However, the Left’s evident surprise exposes the depth of its detachment from society and is tragically symptomatic of contemporary left thinking and politics.
This state of alienation is easily understood. Advocacy of liberal immigration policies in the West has been supported for the last few decades by both Left and Jewish progressive institutions. The reasons are clear. The progressive Jew tends to believe that a multi ethnic and fragmented society made up of multiple identities, is ‘good for the Jews.’ In such circumstances, Jews are merely one ethnicity among many. Open immigration also weakens the host nation. Jews, who have been subject to animosity and hostility throughout their history, understand that weakening the cohesive bond of their host nations is an effective strategy to protect Jews.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has boasted about how he has defied the United States by building Jewish squatter colonies “in a smart way, in a quiet way”, +972 Magazine’s Noam Sheizaf reports.
Addressing young Likud supporters, Netanyahu said: “I was threatened in Washington: ‘not one brick’ [of Jewish squatter colony construction]… after five years, we built a little more than one brick…”
Asked “about peace talks with the Palestinians”, Netanyahu joked: “about the – what?” to which the audience responded by breaking out into laughter.
According to Sheizaf, Netanyahu’s quotes were posted online by Akiva Lamm, a Likud member from Kiryat Arba, a Jewish squatter colony near Hebron. Sheizaf reports that Lamm had asked Netanyahu a question on the lack of new construction in his home squatter colony, and on Israel’s prisoner releases during the American-led negotiations with the Palestinians. This was Netanyahu’s reply – as translated by Sheizaf:
In This ERTV interview Romain Red and Myseldf spoke about George Orwell and the Jews, We also elaborated on the devastating impact of Frankfurt School, Wilhelm Rich and Cultural Marxism. We discussed the Spanish Civil War and the impact of Jews within the International Brigade. We ended with Dieudonné and the quenelle.

A shocking video released this week by Defense for Children Palestine (DCI-Palestine) shows two Palestinian children being gunned down by IDF soldiers while walking near the site of a May 15 Nakba Day protest outside Israel’s Ofer Prison in the West Bank.
IDF officials originally claimed that the two young men were throwing stones and firebombs and that Israeli soldiers had fired no live bullets. “They [IDF soldiers] used nonviolent means to try and disperse the crowds,” IDF spokeswoman Libby Weiss told The New York Times.
DCI-Palestine’s video, however, reveals that the IDF’s version of events is an outright lie. The video footage clearly shows that Mohammad Mahmoud Odeh Salameh, 16, and Nadeem Siam Nawara, 17, were not holding any rocks or weapons, nor were they showing any aggression or posing any security threat when IDF soldiers shot them assassination-style.
