Christians Should Reassess Support for Israel,
Zionism, Anti Semitism and American Democracy

By Henry Makow, PhD
9-24-2

Christians who believe Israel represents an outpost of Western 
Civilization might benefit from a book entitled "Jewish History, 
Jewish Religion" (1994) by Israel Shahak, a Professor Emeritus at 
Hebrew University.
 
Shahak escaped from a Nazi concentration camp and later served in the 
Israeli army. He is an organic chemist who combines a research 
scientist's objectivity with a humanist's commitment to universal 
ideals.
 
It appears that Judaism made a mistake when it rejected Christ's 
gospel of Love. As a consequence, Judaism may have become a primitive 
and possibly dangerous anachronism in the 21st Century. According to 
Shahak, Judaism is a xenophobic totalitarian belief system that has 
morphed into a fanatical Zionist ideology that now threatens the 
whole world. I must admit that, even as an assimilated Jew, reading 
this book was like taking cod liver oil, not pleasant.
 
Shahak writes:
 
 
1)	The Talmud, which consists of rabbinical interpretations of 
the law, treats Christ and Christians with contempt. Unlike the 
Koran, which regards Christ as a great prophet, the Talmud contains 
"very offensive precepts and statements directed specifically against 
Christianity. For example, in addition to a series of scurrilous 
sexual allegations against Jesus, the Talmud states that his 
punishment in hell is to be immersed in boiling excrement. . . Jews 
are instructed to burn, publicly if possible, any copy of the New 
Testament that comes into their hands." (p. 21)
 
 
2)	The Talmud treats non-Jews as sub human and directs Jews to 
discriminate against them. For example, the concept of adultery "does 
not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and a gentile woman; 
rather, the Talmud equates such intercourse to the sin of 
bestiality." (87) Robbery (with violence) is strictly forbidden if 
the victim is Jewish, but is permitted if the victim is Gentile, 
"when they are under our rule." "The whole [rabbinical] debate is 
concerned only with the relative powers of Jews and gentiles rather 
than with universal considerations of justice and humanity, " Shahak 
writes. "This may be why so few rabbis have protested over the 
robbery of Palestinian property in Israel." (90)   
 
 
3)	Shahak disputes whether Judaism is in fact monotheistic: "In 
many if not most of the books of the Old Testament, the existence and 
powers of 'other Gods' are clearly acknowledged, but Yahweh (Jehovah) 
is the most powerful of his rivals, and forbids his people to worship 
them." The decay of monotheism came about through the spread of 
Jewish mysticism (the cabbala), which is now dominant and includes 
many prayers and actions designed to propitiate Satan. (32-33)
 
 
4)	The Old Testament does not have the same place in Judaism as 
the New Testament has for Christianity. Most biblical verses are 
reinterpreted by the Talmud in a sense that is distinct and quite 
contrary to their literal meaning. For example, the famous verse 'thy 
shall love thy fellow as thyself' (Leviticus 19:18) is understood as 
an injunction to love one's fellow Jew not any fellow man. (37)
 
According to Shahak, classical Judaism is not so much a religion as a 
tyrannical system of social control administered by rabbis. Ordinary 
Jews were forced to obey a labyrinth of capricious laws on pain of 
fines, beatings or even murder, administered by the non-Jewish 
aristocracy that would get a share of the fines.
 
Aristocrats and the Jewish elite had other common interests. 
Throughout the middle ages, Jews served as middlemen, or bailiffs 
administering the oppression of the peasants by Gentile kings and 
nobles. Often the king would give Jews the concession to manage his 
holdings. Without condoning pogroms or the holocaust, this and the 
above-mentioned teachings are probably the real causes of anti 
Semitism.
 
The tyranny of aristocrats and rabbis was broken by the 
Enlightenment, which gave rise to the nation state, the middle class, 
democracy and the rule of reason. Jews and non-Jews alike were 
liberated. The New World Order represents a kind of neo feudalism, an 
attempt to restore the old order. Aristocrats and their moneylenders, 
organized in secret societies like the Freemasons (who believe in the 
cabbala) make up the Illuminati. It also includes dynastic families, 
which control large cartels in partnership with the moneylenders. For 
more than a hundred years, these people have worked behind the scenes 
to destroy the four pillars of Western Civilization: The 
nation-state, Christianity, democracy and the family.
 
Communist Russia and Israel are both Illuminati states, created to 
foster oligarchic world government. Israel is intended to be the seat 
of world government/religion. The Star of David is also a Masonic 
symbol.
 
In Communism, the sons of rabbis built a new worldly religion that 
mirrored the fanaticism and oppression of classical Judaism. After 
visiting Bolshevik Russia in 1920, Bertrand Russell wrote to Lady 
Ottoline Morrell: "Bolshevism is a closed tyrannical bureaucracy, 
with a spy system more elaborate and terrible than the Tsar's, and an 
aristocracy as insolent and unfeeling, composed of Americanised Jews. 
No vestige of liberty remains, in thought or speech or action." (The 
Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, paperback ed. 354)
 
Since World War One, the United States and England have been 
controlled by this IIluminati conspiracy. New York bankers financed 
the Bolshevik Revolution (1917) and transferred Trotsky and 270 
Jewish revolutionaries to Russia to carry it out. (See Antony 
Sutton's Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution," 
http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/bolshevik_revolution/). They 
had England conquer Palestine for the Zionists at the same time.
 
As a result, here is the current state of American democracy:
 
Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle says Congress doesn't want to 
"rubber stamp" Bush's invasion of Iraq but "doesn't want to be 
uncooperative either." Senator Robert Byrd, made of sterner stuff, 
says his belief in the American Constitution will prevent him from 
voting for Bush's war resolution. "But I am finding that the 
Constitution is irrelevant to people in this administration." 
(Charleston Gazette, Sept. 21.) 
 
Perhaps Senator Daschle is afraid of AIPAC, the powerful Zionist 
lobby that recently defeated Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. In his 
1985 book, "They Dare to Speak Out" Paul Findley, an Illinois 
Congressman who was defeated by AIPAC after serving 22 years writes: 
"It is no overstatement to say that AIPAC has effectively gained 
control of Capitol Hill's action on Middle East policy.... AIPAC 
means powerraw intimidating power."(25)
 
George W. Bush, a member of an illuminati family, as well as a 
creature of big oil, needs little incentive to do Israel's bidding. 
Nevertheless, Lyndon Larouche has amassed evidence of a cadre of 
Zionist agents at the highest levels of the US government who control 
policy much like Communist agents controlled FDR .(

Hoffman "The Wolf of the Whitehouse."

This Zionist network, which includes Richard Perle and David 
Wolfowitz, pressed Bill Clinton to invade Iraq in 1998. When he 
resisted, they may have paralysed his administration with the 
Lewinsky scandal. Similarly, Sherman Skolnick believes the Mossad is 
blackmailing Bush with pictures of a homosexual nature. 
(http://www.skolnicksreport.com/ootar16.html)
 
In his 1995 book, "The Other Side of Deception: A Rogue Agent Exposes 
the Mossad's Secret Agenda" Victor Ostrovsky asked his superiors why 
they were trying to instigate a war between the US and Iraq. The 
reply was that Israel does not have the manpower and aircraft 
carriers to do the job. As you know, five young Mossad agents were 
arrested doing high-fives Sept. 11 in a parking lot across the river 
from the WTC where they were "documenting" the "terrorist" attack 
with video cameras.

In a speech at Harvard last week, the president Lawrence Summer, a 
Jew, lamented the rising tide of anti-Semitism. He attributed this to 
"prejudice" and says he thought "the right of the Jewish state to 
exist" had been decided. 
(http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=3299)
 
It is curious that while Palestinians are being dispossessed and 
persecuted, Summers thinks "Israel's right to exist" is the issue. 
According to Israeli commentator Uri Avnery, Arafat accepted Israel's 
right to exist 28 years ago but Ariel Sharon "wants a greater Israel, 
the extension of the settlements and eventually the elimination of 
the Palestinian presence west of the Jordan." 
(http://www.mediamonitors.net/uri88.html)
 
The hoisting of an Israeli flag above the ruins of Yasser Arafat's 
Ramallah compound tells the story. Many Israelis feel just as 
helpless as we do. In an article in Ha'aretz, Yoel Marcus writes of 
Ariel Sharon, "Our democracy has been commandeered by one man." 
(http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=210556&)
 
Curious how Lawrence Summers refers to opposition to the Zionist 
agenda as "prejudice." Anger over Zionist control of the US 
government, its muzzling of education and the media, and possible 
involvement in Sept. 11 is hardly what I would call "prejudice." For 
generations Jews have dehumanized other people by denying their 
legitimate grievances. In Shahak's words, "an enslaved peasant [who 
rebels] is transformed into a racist monster if Jews profited from 
his state of slavery and exploitation." (73)
 
No people should be tarred by the actions of a few. Most Jews 
(including Israelis) are themselves victims of the Illuminati Zionist 
conspiracy. Yitzak Rabin was murdered because of his sincere desire 
to make peace. I believe people are individuals and should be judged 
as such.
 
Nonetheless Jews must confront the reasons for anti Semitism or else 
it will spread. We must confront Jews (and non-Jews) who have become 
bailiffs in the New World Order, and join our neighbors in restoring 
democracy, freedom and truth to our beleaguered planet.
