COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

The World Gets a Clear Picture of The Israeli Killing Machine Against Gaza


Pulverized by Israel, Palestinians hold out for favorable cease-fire in Gaza

Support for Hamas is growing in Gaza after weeks of Israeli bombardment. Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the US supports an Egyptian cease-fire proposal rejected by Hamas.


The Israeli military said its forces had struck almost 3,000 targets in Gaza over the past two weeks – almost half since the start of the ground offensive four days ago.

Twenty-seven soldiers have been killed in fighting, the IDF said in a statement. The Palestinian death toll in Gaza was climbing steadily towards 600, a third of whom are children, according to the UN children's agency Unicef.

  15. You seem to be surprised to hear that there are still problems of 1948 to be solved, the most important component of which is the right to return of Palestinian refugees.

    The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not just an issue of military occupation and Israel is not a country that was established “normally” and happened to occupy another country in 1967.

    Palestinians are not struggling for a “state” but for freedom, liberation and equality, just like we were struggling for freedom in South Africa.

      what was said was that the Zionist assisted the NAZI, through both commission and omission.
      This was by quoting JEWISH authors and historians.

      It was by no means a denial of the Holocaust.

      BEFORE HITLER CAME – By Dietrich Bonder

      Dietrich Bronder’s monumental book exposes the occult roots and shadowy organizations behind the rise of Adolf Hitler. From philosophers that helped to shape the political doctrine of national socialism to secret societies (such as Thule) that later implemented it as the 3rd Reich slowly gained its final form as envisioned by the secret founders. ...

      It is truly an irony that Bronder, a Jewish professor of history, would discover the forbidden history of dominant Jewish involvement in building the 3rd Reich. He shows in incredible detail which Jews financed Adolf Hitler and thus helped him to power.

    3. In Holocaust Victims Accuse (1977), available on line, Rabbi Moshe Shonfeld says some Zionists sabotaged many attempts to organize resistance, ransom and relief.

      They undermined an effort by Vladimir Jabotinsky to arm Jews before the war.


      They stopped an attempt to send food to the ghettos.

      Dr. Makow says the Zionist Rabbi of Sweden, Dr. Ehrenpreis, scuttled a Swedish attempt to rescue 10,000 Jews.
      Pro-Labor Zionists torpedoed a similar attempt by the British parliament.

    4. Weizmann and the other Jewish establishment leaders organized Jewish traitor patrols on the coastline of Israel to assist the British in keeping out “illegal” Jewish men, women and children who sought refuge from the claws of the Nazis.

      In Barry Chamish’s “Save Israel!” (Modiin, Modiin House, Israel), he writes (p. 350):

      “… Chaim Weizmann knew the results of the Holocaust ahead of time and deliberately allowed the slaughter to take place. He turned Jewish leaders into mass murderers … He was sending official proclamations to Jewish leaders worldwide, not to try and save their co-religionists in Europe …”


      Delete
    5. Finally,
      ... in "Shabtai Tzvi, Labor Zionism and the Holocaust", which was published also by Modiin, Barry Chamish writes (on pg. 232) that,
      about a year before he became Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon said that had Jabotinsky been head of the Jewish Agency instead of Ben-Gurion, millions of Jews would have been saved from the Holocaust.

      "Perfidy, The Transfer Agreement", and "The Scared And The Doomed" are accurate books (which were created by Jewish people, not anti-Semite bigots) that detail how Labor Zionism prevented the rescue of European Jewry.

    Both German and Soviet occupations began with murder and brutality. Many prisoners of war were executed on the spot or later during the war. Countless civilians were also shot or sent to concentration camps, including political leaders, clergy, boy scouts, professors, teachers, government officials, doctors, and professional athletes. Among them was Mayor Starzynski of Warsaw who had rallied his city to resist the Nazi onslaught. In the German sector, Jews were singled out for special brutality.

    Many small army units continued to fight from remote forests. Among the most famous was the legendary "Major Hubal," the pseudonym of Major Henryk DobrzaÅ„ski. Major Hubal and his band of 70-100 men waged unrelenting guerilla warfare on both occupiers until they were cornered by German forces in April 1940 and wiped out. Hubal’s body was burned by the Germans and buried in secret so he would not become a martyr, but others soon took his place.

    POWs captured by the Germans were to be sent to labor and prison camps. Many soldiers escaped and disappeared into the local population. Those who remained in German custody were frequently abused, used for slave labor, or shot.

    Following a gun battle by Ciepielow, Colonel Walter Wessel of the 29th motorized infantry division had 300 captured Polish soldiers stripped of their uniform jackets and then shot as partisans.


    In October 1940 Hitler ordered "all members of the Polish intelligentsia" to be killed. SS leader Heydrich therefore instructed the heads of the security police task forces to ensure that the remaining members of the Polish "political leadership" be "rendered harmless and placed in a concentration camp." He also saw to it that lists of "teachers, clergymen, noblemen, legionaries, returning officers, etc." were drawn up immediately.

    The Polish nation lost the largest portion of its pre-war population during World War II. Out of Poland's pre-war population of 34,849,000, about 6,000,000 - constituting 17% of its total - perished during the German occupation. There were 240,000 military deaths, 3,000,000 Polish-Jewish Holocaust victims, and 2,760,000 civilian deaths (see World War II casualties backed with real research and citations).



    http://histclo.com/essay/war/ww2/pow/ger/pg-cou.html
    AS the Polish POWs were taken in 1939 and given the barabarous conditions they experienced, few survived the War. Over 32,000 Jewish soldiers were killed during the German invasion (September 1939). About 61,000 were taken prisoner. Almost all died while in German hands. Some soldiers separated Jewish POWs from the very beginning ahnd shot them.

    According to official Polish sources the total Polish combat losses amounted to: 63,000 killed, 133,700 wounded and 420,000 taken prisoner 1)

    It is estimated that among the prisoners of war taken about 60,000 were of Jewish origin 2).

    It is estimated that close to 25,000 prisoners of war of Jewish origin were murdered or died in the Stalags up to and through the spring of 1940 4).

    On January 7th , 1940 1,200 prisoners from Stalag IB, (Hohenstein in East Prussia), were brought by S.S. guards to the Sobibor forest. Most of them were executed on January13 by the guards 9).

    In 1941, 2,500 11) prisoners of war were murdered at the slave labor camp at Belzec.

    On November 8th, 1943 in the final act of exterminating the Jews in the Majdanek death camp (given the code name "Harvest Festival" - "Erntefest") 18,500 Jews were murdered by the Nazis, among them 2,500 prisoners of war.

    Summary: of the 60,000 Jewish enlisted men taken prisoner by the Germans in the September1939 campaign only a few hundred survived captivity.

    [Although you may object, these were prisoners of war, soldiers and officers, despite the nullifying fact that they were Jews.]

  25. We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish

    Here's a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.

    Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB.

    We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags.

    Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, "opposition members" who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist party itself.

    In his new, highly praised book "The War of the World, "Historian Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University's Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it was directed internally.

    1. Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined "terror officials," cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts, and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided it with a kosher certificate.

      All these things are well-known to some extent or another, even though the former Soviet Union's archives have not yet been fully opened to the public. But who knows about this? Within Russia itself, very few people have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD's and KGB's service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores the question of "How could it have happened to us?" As opposed to Eastern European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with their Stalinist past.

      And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty dwarf."

      Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his Book "Stalin: Court of the Red Star", Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women.

      Stalin's close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the "first Stalinist" and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside from the Nazi horrors and Mao's terror in China, did not move Kaganovich.

      Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.

      In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history.

      The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet people." Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play dumb": What do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.

      Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jewishness of "our hangmen," who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its establishment.
      After all, others will always remind us of their origin.

    1. It's the airline hijackings, the bus bombings, the sniping with 50 cal's of babies, the ieds, the stabbings of women, the murder, rape and general dismemberment that gets me…

      But it was the treatment BY the ARABS towards the Jews for centuries than we learned how brutal and barbaric arabs could be.,

      Being dhimmis for 11 centuries, then watching them slaughter and rape us, the of course they helping hitler?

      Well what's to say..

  31. Israel has justified taking out whole families because a Hamas military target was with them. If you accept that individual military personnel are legitimate targets then Hamas launching rockets at Israel can be considered 'fair game' as most all Israeli males are in the military (a requirement by the Israeli government).

    1. Ash, then all Gazans are legit targets, since at the age of 6 all kids become educated in Jihad.

      There are no civilians in Gaza…

  32. It doesn't matter if you think launching rockets is fair game, or why, the responsibility of every state is to protect its citizens. Hence Iron Dome. Hence the operation to close the tunnels.

    1. And the other 'state' do they not have the same responsibility? Hence - WAR.

      With respect to protect - before they launched the ground operation the death toll was 1. The Iron Dome appears to be ample "defense". There were no causalities from the tunnels to Israel that I am aware of. Now that they started the ground operation the death toll has risen dramatically. It seems to have been counter productive with respect to "protection".

    1. Those boys were taken from a settlement. I don't believe that had anything to do with the Gaza tunnels. On top of that, are you seriously supporting the notion of collective punishment for murder?

  34. Here is what the wicked cynical bastards are doing:

    The Gaza Strip is a densely populated enclave – around 1.6 million people in 146 square miles, sealed by both an Egyptian and Israeli blockade. Israel has now ordered some 43% of the territory to be evacuated.

  35. In the past week, the Guardian has seen large numbers of people fleeing different neighbourhoods – including Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, Shujai'iya, Zeitoun and Maghazy – and no evidence that Hamas had compelled them to stay..

    These crowds have joined the ranks of some 102,000 displaced who, according to the UN's figures, have swollen by some 500% in the last five days.

    The decision whether or not to flee is, in reality, a very difficult and complex process of weighing up often competing safety considerations.

    "Where you live, you know who your neighbours are and they know you," said one middle class Gaza resident who recently evacuated and asked not to be named.

    "You know if someone is Hamas or Islamic jihad, if your building might be a target or if there is someone you suspect is an Israeli collaborator in the building, which might make it safer during an Israeli attack. I'm staying with relatives. The first thing I asked before I moved my family is who the neighbours are."

    Others explained their reluctance to flee their homes with their conviction that nowhere in Gaza is currently safe.

    Sami Abu Arar has moved with his extended family to a car shop in the centre of Gaza City; a crowd of men were camped in the little office opening onto the street, the women were out of sight upstairs. A hundred metres away, a group of journalists was waiting for a building that had received a warning shot from an Israeli shell to be hit.

    Another family occupied the barber's shop next door, women and children crowded into the tiny space.

    "I came from Zeitoun [in the south of Gaza City] three days ago with 30 of our family," Abu Arar explained. "My father owns this place. We came here to stay with our relatives. It's still not safe even here. There are strikes everywhere and you don't know if you'll end up living next to a wanted person who the Israelis want to kill."

    Asked why he has not gone to one of the UN schools, he responded with a dismissive tutt.

    "There's no room and nowhere to sleep – they're all full. But if the tanks come in any closer we’ll go to one of the schools.”

  36. Think about this. You get the phone call or in the 45% that Israel demand be evacuated. Where do you go. What happens to you if you take refuge in an area where unbeknownst to you, someone on the Israeli hit list lives. You are truly fucked.

    Have someone you don’t like or owe money to, call the IDF@stasi101 and drop a dime on them as to being Hamas.

    There is no hiding Netanjahu’s roots. He is Russian to the core.

  37. The Israeli military said its forces had struck almost 3,000 targets in Gaza

    Deuce calls this a "killing machine"

    600 deaths so far, a full 2/3's are hamas fighters.

    So 200 deaths of palestinians have been innocent kids…

    So 3000 attacks have produced 200 wrongful deaths.

    Not much of a "killing machine"

    EU calls on Hamas to disarm, condemns use of civilians as shields


    "The EU's foreign ministers, following a monthly meeting in Brussels, issued a statement on the Middle East condemning 'the indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and militant groups in the Gaza Strip, directly harming civilians. These are criminal and unjustifiable acts.'”

    1. The statement also called on Hamas to immediately put an end to its rocket attacks, and to renounce violence. “All terrorist groups in Gaza must disarm. The EU strongly condemns calls on the civilian population of Gaza to provide themselves as human shields. “

  40. The newspapers were filled with the photos of the three young men who were murdered. I can post hundreds of videos of Palestinians killed or injured. Where are the photos of Israelis injured by the missiles?

    We saw the popcorn eaters. They did not look fearful. We also saw the terror of young fathers with children broken by US weapons fired by Israelis.

    Netanyahu is not of Russian ancestry. His grandfather migrated to the Mandate from Warsaw in 1920.

    If he had not, he might have been buried in one of the hundreds of mass gravesites in Poland.
