January 19, 1998

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Two days ago, the Washington Post ran an interesting Reuter article titled "Arafat Cancels Visit to Holocaust Museum." I quote the first few paragraphs to "set up the clip", as they say.

"Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat angrily canceled a planned, groundbreaking visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum next week after he was denied an official welcome, the Washington Post reported Saturday.

"Conceived as a gesture of reconciliation by U.S. deputy special Mideast envoy Aaron Miller, Arafat's highly symbolic visit would have been the first to the exhibition on Nazi genocide by a major Arab leader, the newspaper said."

The article goes on to say that Arafat is scheduled to meet for talks with both President Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ". . . in an effort to reinvigorate stalled peace negotiations."

But the Washington Post quoted "unidentified museum sources" as saying that Arafat ". . . is Hitler incarnate."

Arafat must not be welcomed in the memorial to Hitler's victims, these unidentified museum sources said.

When Arafat was told he could visit the museum ". . . only as an individual, without the special measures for security and protocol routinely accorded world leaders," Arafat changed his schedule.

An Arafat adviser commented to the Washington Post:

"We didn't create this idea. (Arafat) said yes. They are saying no. It's as simple as that. We have been extending our hands since the days of (Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak) Rabin, and our hands are still slapped."

This brings to mind a comment I read a few days ago by Rachelle Marshall, a freelance writer and a member of the International Jewish Peace Union, writing for The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. She wrote in its January/February 1998 issue:

"US Middle East policy has been shaped by the demands of Israel and its supporters, demands made in the name of security but in fact designed to maintain Israel's hold over captured territory.

"Blind support for Israel has cost the U.S. heavily in the Arab world and sullied America's image as a champion of democracy and human rights." (WRMEA, p. 119)

I sent the Arafat item to some Revisionist advisors for input and asked for comments on this development, and here is what one of them said:

"This is an interesting story, for it illustrates how much U.S. policy is dependent on the tribal thinking or Stetl mentality of U.S. officials.

U.S. Deputy, special Mid-East envoy, the Jew Aaron Miller, suggests - or was it arm-twisting? - for Arafat to kowtow at the Jews' "Submission or Substitute Wailing Wall" in Washington. The message there is clear: If Arafat wants to achieve something for his Palestinians in America, he first has to agree to be shaken down for useful photo opportunities and television images the Israeli Lobby wants out of him. He has to give a political "baksheesh" (sp?) (a pay-off in the Arab world) to the Jewish intermediaries who hold the key to access the power and the presidency in America. Chances are that Arafat won't sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom either.

What kind of balance or even-handedness can a man like Arafat expect from an American administration that would force him to run the gauntlet with these Holocaust lobbyists in position of power and influence - before he ever gets near the President?

The utter arrogance by these Jewish officials and total insensitivity to very real economic and geopolitical American interests, revealed by their behavior and snubbing of Arafat, ought to go a long way in convincing even the most naive Arab leaders as to the imbalance and Jewish tribalism reality of current American politics.

There is only one glaring and obvious conclusion: Congress and Capitol Hill are indeed Israeli Occupied Territory. Pat Buchanan had it right when he coined that phrase years ago, and that is why he is not President.

Instead, America is now afflicted with Bill Clinton who - because of Whitewater, Paula Jones, Vince Foster and other skeletons-in-the-closet - is blackmailable. Thus, to protect himself and to assure himself a helpful press, Clinton has appointed more Jewish individuals to high level government jobs in his administration than all other previous presidents combined.

Arafat did the only honorable thing - he stayed away from that Horror Museum of Hate and Lies! Unfortunately, there will be other Arab leaders, less principled than Arafat, and much more eager for a few rounds of applause, a photo opportunity with the President, and maybe a few aging tanks and rickety, obsolete planes thrown into the bargain. They will kowtow to special interests at the modern Wailing Wall in Washington.

This is the curse of modern American politics - everything is now for sale as long as it serves Israel and the tribe's cause: Duty. Honor. Country. Idealism. To do something just because it is right or good for America is a concept alien to these modern Shylocks. No wonder that the cynics speak these days of Israel-by-the-Potomac."

Thought for the Day:

"The (World Jewish Congress) is representing no one but itself. It is a private propaganda machine, nothing more. What its representatives babble has little to do with the world of thought of the Jews. They are not the Chosen; they lack scientific facts."

(Excerpted and translated from "Der Blick", December 5, 1997 and attributed to Professor Raul Hilberg, considered the "Dean of the Holocaust" and an expert witness for the prosecution against Ernst Zundel in the First Great Holocaust Trial in 1985.)
