In 1862, Moses Hess stated:
Is this conjecture or a statement of fact? It would seem to be the later in light of the policies of Israel. This Jewish Theorachy, that has usurpted and continues to usurp Arab homeland in Palestine with the support of the United States, has embarked upon an effort to physically separate itself by the construction of a wall; a failure to recognize a commonality among all humanity; to maintain a perceived "racial" purity even if such involves the destruction of other population groups.
Have you not yet realized that the nations loathe your very existence and will never suffer you to take even the most minimal step to defend yourself?....ignore the world.....and take the battle to enemies of your people.....You have the right, you have the military ability, and you have the duty......You have the right to defend yourself in any manner you deem fit..."(Saturday, August 07, 2004 23:28 IST Jerusalem Newswire)
The current crisis in our foreign policy, that may engage our country in a war with the International Moslem Community involving continued terrorism on our soil and the use of weapons of mass destruction, is directly traceable to the Balfour Declaration and it's implementation in the creation of a Zionist Jewish State in the Middle East. Already, under the guise of "Homeland Security", we witness the transformation of our Society into a Quasi-Military State; the cost for our unstinting support of Zionism and for a Jewish Theoracy in the Middle East based on political chicanery, national deception, and national delusion; a tragic example of Hans Chirstian Anderson's classic "Fairy Tail" of the whimsical and vain Emperor, his pusillanimous Advisor's, and credulous Subjects in The Emperor's New Clothes.
On November 26, 1947, James Forrestal, Secretary of Defense, stated to J. Howard Mc Grath, Senator from Rhode Island:
Secretary Forrestal was referring to enormous political pressure that the Zionist Jews (including Felix Frankfurter and Louis Brandeis of the Supreme Court) in this country were placing both on President Truman and on the political process, generally, for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.
President Truman, himself had serious misgivings about such a state and initially opposed its' creation:
This view was reflected by non-Zionists Jews in this country who also feared the creation of a Theocracy (Jewish State) in the Palestine. In an editorial in the New York Times:
However, President Truman succumbed to Zionist pressure and on May 14, 1948 recognized the new Jewish state of Israel. At a cabinet meeting in July, 1947 Truman bitterly expressed his frustration with the Zionist Jews:
And in May 1948, just prior to his recognition of Israel, Truman remarked to John A Kennedy when Mr. Kennedy asked what the President was going to tell the Jews waiting to see him when they asked him if he was going to recognize Israel...Truman replied: "Well how many Arabs are there as registered voters in the United States?".(Michael Cohen, Truman and Israel, 1990).
These remarks by the President not only reflect his anti-Semitism but a political weakness and corruptness that he brought to the Presidency from his long association with the Pentergast political machine. His inability to withstand Zionist political pressure was expedient, ensured his re-election in 1948, and, more tragically, has endangered the security of the United States.
Mr. Truman and Democratic Party leaders were well aware of the enormous political risks and injustices involved should this country support the creation of an independent Jewish state, a Theocracy, in Palestine:
The modern Zionist movement, i.e., the creation of an independent Jewish commonwealth, a Theocracy, in Palestine was set in motion by Moses Hess (an apostle of European Socialism and a friend and collaborator of Karl Marx) in 1862 with the publication of "Rome and Jerusalem".
Hess believed that the Jewish people can never be "organically united with those with whom they live"; that the essence of the Jewish religion is primarily Jewish patriotism; that the pious Jew, i.e., the religious Jew, is before all else a "Jewish Patriot"; and, that "to do otherwise is to be a traitor to his people and his family." Morris J. Amitay (1982), Executive Director of American-Israel Public Affairs Committee and aid to Senator Abraham A Ribicoff explains this connection of "the religious Jew" with "Jewish patriotism":
Hess proposed his Jewish state in Palestine "in order to realize an ideal which is neither more nor less than the reign of God upon earth". This work was described by Theodor Herzl as embodying "Everything we have attempted...". Herzl, in 1896, began a campaign to implement the Jewish ideal as set forth by Moses Hess.
In 1902, before the British Royal Commission on Alien Immigration, Theodor Herzl stated:
With the requisite of a "common enemy" in this view of nation building, there was, at the beginning, little hope for the peaceful implementation of British policy (notwithstanding its unjust and highly questionable nature) in the Middle East. The word Israel itself implies bellicosity and means: "El (Jehovah) does Battle".
The modern State of Israel has been unable to adopt a Civil Constitution because of a conflict over what constitutes fundamental law within Israeli society. Many religious Jews hold that the only real Constitution for a Jewish state is the Torah (Pentateuch, first five books of the Old Testament) and the Talmud (summary of the oral interpretation of the Torah). They not only see no need for a modern secular Constitution, but even see in such a document a threat to the supremacy of the Torah and the religious Constitutional tradition associated with it that has developed over thousands of years to serve the Jewish people in "their land" and in the Diaspora. The Law of the Torah and it's Common Law equivalent, the Talmud, should determine the behavior of the entire Nation, with the latter as forming the basic text and primary source for Jewish law.
Juridical determination is within a system of religious courts with a final appeal to the Great Sanhedrin or supreme court. This court measures the behavior of Israeli society within the context of the the Torah and Talmud; it has the power to declare war. Further, the Jewish State stands as a "safe haven" for Jews that have committed crimes in other countries. Once in Israel, no Israeli citizen, who has violated the law of another country, can be extradited to that country. They remain in Israel and are "tried" under "Jewish Law". (For example: recently in Maryland, a Jewish boy (with both Jewish and US citizenship) fled to Israel with his father after his involvement in the murder of another boy. Israel refused to extradite. The boy was "tried" in Israel where he remains today.)
Education is a top priority of the Israeli government. The government, within the framework of the Jewish school system, works to intensify educational curricula on Zionism, Judaism and Jewish heritage. The government ensures that students in the Jewish Education System study, among other topics, the eternal values of the Jewish people -- including the Torah, Love of Israel, respect for all people created in His image, love of the Land, Jewish history and the Zionist idea -- as well as the universal and humanistic values of respect for individuals and their freedom. The Israeli government works to strengthen the status of the Chief Rabbinate. There is no mention of the government’s role in supporting an educational system other that the Jewish Education System based on Judaism and Zionism.
Thus, the goals of Moses Hess and the fears of President Truman, have been realized: the creation a Jewish Theocracy in Palestine. A Jewish nation was created by the barbarous and violent displacement of indigenous populations that for centuries had lived together in peace. This State continues to maintain itself, with the support of the United States, with the same barbarous violence. The hate that has been engendered in the Moslem world by our support for such a state is directly responsible for terrorist attacks in this country.
In "A Jewish State: An Attempt at a Modern Solution of the Jewish Question", Mr. Herzl concludes:
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Jews, in what was formerly Palestine and now Israel, have not, and do not live as free men; they live and die in violence and as virtual dependents of the United States. The world has not been liberated and enriched; it has been in perpetual conflict.
Mr. Bush's aggressive, bellicose, and potentially disastrous foreign policy reflected by his invasion of Iraq, as well as this countries unstinting support for the creation and maintenance of a Jewish state is contrary to the very notion of national sovereignty and government established as a sine qua non to our foreign policy during the administrations of Presidents Washington and Adams:
Both Jefferson and Hamilton, hardly political allies, recognized that for the long term stability of a government:
A Jewish State in the Middle East was established, with US support, on the basis of a Jewish terrorist organization, the Irgun, led by former Prime Minister Menachem Begin. The Jews considered themselves "freedom fighters".
We can begin to effectively neutralize the animosity within the Moslem Community with a recognition of the historic character of Palestine as representing the common heritage of Christian, Jews, and Moslems; that the United States rejects claims for the completely autonomous political and cultural development of any one religious/cultural group in Palestine; that Christians, Jews, and Moslems have a cooperative, co-equal, semi-autonomous share in the political and cultural development of Palestine.
The United States Congress must re-affirm its' constitutional role in a re-evaluation and re-formulation of our foreign policy in the Middle East. If we have not the rectitude and courage to recognize the national sovereignty of other nations, while defending our own, and, more importantly, to undue the injustices to the indigenous people of Palestine, the possibility of the use of weapons of mass destruction may involve this country in a war of self-destruction.
