Roundup of world anti-Semitism

Iran

Amid international and Israeli controversy over whether or not to attack Iran's nuclear program, the rulers of the Islamic Republic have just "upgraded" their strategic objective of wiping Israel off the map and extended it for the first time to the more ambitious one of annihilating the Jews worldwide. They are using the age-old weapon of anti-Semitism to promote their new goal.

Two weeks ago, as their nuclear bomb moved menacingly up the pipeline, the ayatollahs in Tehran and Qom unleashed a virulent campaign of anti-Semitic propaganda in their sermons. A new book and a film were released for wide distribution on orders from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. They draw heavily on the infamous Elders of Zion fiction to accuse the Jews and their rabbis of conspiring to corrupt and rule the world.

Under the title "How Israel should be destroyed," this book was awarded the best book prize at the Khorassan book fair when it was first displayed there on Thursday, Dec. 1.

The authors of its seven chapters, identified only as "seminary students of the Holy City of Qom," set out tactics for destroying Israel and the Jews of the world. They quote the Qoran as well as the Protocols of Zion on "the Jewish world view," asserting that the persecution of Jews through the ages - including the Nazi Holocaust - was "just punishment for their crimes."

The Qoran is cited as urging Muslims to keep their distance from Jews because of their "perfidious and deceitful nature."

The book quotes extensively from the views of Ayatollah Khomeini, founder of the Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, under the heading, "Israel Must Be Destroyed." The book's editor Hojjat-ol-Eslam Mohammad Ebrahim-Nia stresses that this prescription has the force of a fatwa (religious edict) and is binding on every Muslim.

He adds: Notwithstanding every effort to destroy this "criminal" people, it continues to exist and in the guise of Zionism continues its wicked assault on Islam.

The anti-Semitic film, "The Sabbath Hunter," has been circulating for some time but was a flop with Iranian movie audiences. Now the Supreme Leader has ordered it to be screened at every university in the land. The Basij students who rampaged through the British embassy in Tehran this week were made responsible with getting it widely shown.

So-called Palestinians

Palestinians and the infamous Elders of Zion

Hamas Covenant 1988". Yale.edu. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp. Retrieved May 27, 2010. 

"Today it is Palestine, tomorrow it will be one country or another. The Zionist plan is limitless. After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."

Article 7 of the Covenant

The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders. It goes back to 1939, to the emergence of the martyr Izz al-Din al Kissam and his brethren the fighters, members of Moslem Brotherhood. It goes on to reach out and become one with another chain that includes the struggle of the Palestinians and Moslem Brotherhood in the 1948 war and the Jihad operations of the Moslem Brotherhood in 1968 and after.

Moreover, if the links have been distant from each other and if obstacles, placed by those who are the lackeys of Zionism in the way of the fighters obstructed the continuation of the struggle, the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

FROM HAMAS AND PROTOCOLS TO IRELAND AND PROTOCOLS

December 2011

A protest outside the Israeli Embassy sponsored “Israeli Film Days” in Temple Bar turned acrimonious this evening when Gardai broke up a peaceful demonstration by pro-Palestinian activists outside the venue. Citing Section 21 of the Public Order Act, Gardai forcibly removed around sixty activists from the area outside the venue, Filmbase, on Curved Street in Temple Bar, while others were removed from inside the venue.

Prior to the removal, the protestors had gathered to chant slogans and hand out leaflets explaining why they were opposed to the event. Between 5.30 and 6.40pm the activists held a loud, colourful, vibrant and entirely peaceful protest outside.

By this time the majority of those attending the event had entered without incident – including the Tanaiste and Foreign Minister, Eamon Gilmore, and Justice Minister Alan Shatter, and it was at this time – after everyone inside had gone downstairs into the cinema area – that Gardai began to forcibly remove the protest from the street.

After being forced off Curved Street, the protest found itself split into two crowds, on Temple Lane Street and Eustace Street. Those on Temple Lane Street were pushed further down the street by a Garda ‘security line’, at which pointed they marched around Temple Bar and linked up with their colleagues on Eustace Street. At this point, they were again pushed back by the Gardai, and a megaphone was seized from Dr. Fintan Lane of the Irish Ship To Gaza campaign while he was making a speech. After this the protest dispersed, while the megaphone remains in Garda custody.

A lawyer present on the scene, Gary Daly, said: “I am very unhappy with the way the Gardai made the decision to forcibly move the protestors away from the venue, in the process manhandling them, when it was clearly a peaceful protest where there was no hint of trouble, and protestors had complied with any previous request made of them by the Gardai”.  Mr. Daly continued: “A particularly disturbing incident was the way in which a megaphone was seized by a senior Garda from Dr. Fintan Lane while he was in the process of making a speech to the assembled protestors, regarding his violent and illegal kidnapping in international waters and subsequent detention, along with 13 other Irish citizens, by Israeli forces two weeks ago”.

Meanwhile, inside the venue, several pro-Palestinian activists attempted to highlight the fact that this film festival was an exercise in propaganda and whitewashing of Israeli human rights abuses and Apartheid practices. According to those inside, when the organisers called for silence the demonstration was clearly audible outside, and was being furiously discussed by those in attendance. After people inside descended into the cinema area, where the demonstration was no longer audible or visible, the Israeli Ambassador, Boaz Modai, began his address to the audience. At this point a young man unfurled a Palestinian flag and began chanting “Free, Free, Gaza!” He was manhandled by security and ejected from the building. Immediately afterwards a female protestor began chanting and was also removed from the premises.

Following this, another female protestor began making a speech, and was then removed along with three of her companions. At this point, the Ambassador said to the crowd that “now that the riff raff have gone” there was more free seating. This comment was met with a round of applause, only to have it followed by another interruption from a senior member of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign who declared: “Israel is an Apartheid state that should be boycotted.  Israel represses Palestinian culture, yet uses culture to whitewash its own crimes. I ask people here to leave this event, which is a fig leaf for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people”. This protestor was then carried out by security while continuing his speech.

IPSC Chairperson Martin O’Quigley said: “I am appalled that both the Tanaiste, and Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Eamon Gilmore, and Minister for Justice Alan Shatter attended this whitewashing of Israeli apartheid. I am also appalled at the treatment of entirely peaceful protestors by the Gardai who are supposed to uphold civil liberties such as the right to protest – not act to limit this right.” Mr. O’Quigley continued: “As bad as what we saw tonight was, it is as nothing when compared to the daily treatment of the Palestinian people living under Israel’s Apartheid  system. Despite the heavy-handedness of the Gardai, we think our protest tonight was a very important showing of solidarity with the people of Palestinian whose human, national and democratic rights are denied them by the Israeli state. Both the protest itself – inside and outside – and the heavy police presence helped to de-normalise this event, which was our aim – to show that there is nothing normal or acceptable about Israeli Apartheid”.

Dr. Raymond Deane, Cultural Boycott Officer of the IPSC stated: “Over the weekend, the IPSC aims to continue our protests outside this Israeli Embassy sponsored festival, which is nothing more that the abuse of culture as cover for the crimes and breaches of international law committed by the Israeli state on a daily basis.”

Beagles are tested because they are so...NICE!

A planeload of 40 beagles arrived in Los Angeles Wednesday night, where they will find new homes.

The dogs landed at Los Angeles International Airport and were whisked to the home of an attorney involved in their rescue.

Gary Smith of the Beagle Freedom Project told a local wire service the beagles were rescued from an animal testing laboratory in Spain that was about to go out of business.

After the plane touched down, the dogs passed through customs. One was picked up by new owners at the airport while the rest were taken to lawyer Shannon Keith's North Hollywood house.

Many of the beagles were expected to be adopted.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Some dogs rescued from an animal testing lab in Spain are in desperate need of a good home. The beagles arrived Wednesday night at LAX.

Forty purebred beagles were rescued thanks to the Beagle Freedom Project.

"The lab was closing and either they were going to kill the dogs or somebody needed to make a commitment to get them out," said Shannon Keith from the Beagle Freedom Project.

And get them out they did. The dogs, all male, range in age from 4 to 7 years old. They've all spent their entire lives in a laboratory.

DOGS FROM BORN NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY!

"From the moment they were born they were literally in a cage, never seen the light of day," said volunteer Andy Baker. "The only contact they have is with human beings who literally pick them up to test on them."

BECAUSE THEY ARE SO NICE AND GENTLE!

Beagles are often tested on because they are gentle dogs.

"It's their characteristics which is their downfall," said Baker. "Because they are so nice, which is why they are used for this type of experiment."

"We also know they were used for human drug research," said Keith. "A lot of them have injuries, they've got scars."

Now the biggest hurdle is getting these dogs into foster homes.

"We have to do a lot of medical on them before they can actually go to a permanent home," said Keith.

Fourteen dogs still need foster homes. The Beagle Freedom Project picks up all expenses, and it cost over $50,000 to bring the dogs to Los Angeles.

5.32 and 5.33 working itself out in the modern world!

 “The Holy Koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind; and whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind.” -- from the speech by Barack Obama

Is that really what the “Holy Koran” teaches? It’s true, there is a verse in the Qur’an, taken verbatim from an earlier Jewish text, that says “whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind,” etc.

But that verse, verse 5.32, in the Qur’an is followed by another verse, one that Barack Obama carefully or carelessly -- it hardly matters which -- chose to overlook, and by overlooking, mislead not his Muslim audience (who were no doubt pleased he left out, just as any Muslim apologist for Islam would have left out, the following verse 5.33) but rather, all of the world’s Infidels, which includes 99% of the American people, whose welfare he is supposed to keep foremost in mind, for the right instruction and the protection of the American people is his solemn duty.

We’ve been here before, of course. When Barack Obama quotes 5.32 and leaves out 5.33, he is merely channeling George Bush. For Bush, in his deep respect for the “religion” of Islam, liked to quote the same Qur’anic passage, that is, 5.32. The passage, of course, one of the more appealing ones in the Qur’an, was lifted wholesale from the Jewish text of the Mishnah. Barack Obama might have recognized that, but he didn’t dare -- for if he had said it, it would have infuriated Muslims. They don’t want to have the Qur’an’s sources in other, prior monotheisms, revealed, and they don’t even want the elements, such as the djinn, borrowed wholesale from pre-Islamic Arab pagan lore, connected to their original sources. For the Qur’an is for Muslims never to be subjected to the kind of historical analysis that was done for both Judaism and Christianity by the practitioners of what is called the Higher Criticism, beginning with Julius Wellhausen and other German and English Protestant scholars of the mid-to-late 19th century.

What Bush always left out, and what Obama left out today, was the following passage, 5.33, that was added by the composers of the Qur’an and that they did not lift from any Jewish text. This is 5.33:

"The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land" (Qur'an 5:33).

And who do those who take their Islam most feelingly to heart and most thoughtfully to mind think are the people who “make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land”? Why, it’s non-Muslims, it’s the Infidels, the ones who do not submit to Islam but for some strange reason hew to their own non-Muslim beliefs, and their own legal and political institutions and founding documents (such as the Declaration of the Rights of Man in France, and the Constitution of the United States in this country). Those institutions and which founding documents are flatly contradicted by the letter and spirit of the Shari’a, the Holy Law of Islam, and thus those who continue to support them are people who, in the Muslim view, are not acting defensively but offensively. Anyone who resists Islam is making offensive war on Islam, and thus they are those who “make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land” -- so that, according to 5.33, that follows the appropriated Jewish text of 5.32, they should be “killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land.”

Here is just one example, this one from the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the charge of “corruption” -- as in “spreading corruption in the land” -- is fleshed out in a real-life case:

Tehran, 28 Nov. 2005(AKI) - Iranian parliamentarian Kurosh Niknam, a member of Iran's Zoroastrian religious minority has been summoned to appear before the country's Revolutionary Tribunal after being accused of spreading false news and showing lack of respect for the authorities. The charges stem from comments Niknam made to protest against derogatory remarks against non-Muslims uttered by a close aide to Iran's Supreme Leader, Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Non-Muslims "cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption." said Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati last week at a ceremony in north-eastern Iran to commemorate the 'martyrs' of the Revolutionary Guards and the war against Iraq (1980-88).

Nikam described the remarks as "an unprecedented slur against religious minorities."...
The Zoroastrian community in Iran is estimated to number some 22,000 - half the size of that in existence before the 1979 Islamic revolution.

One more time: Non-Muslims “cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption.” Who said that? A simpleton, untrained in Islam? Not at all. A full-fledged Ayatollah, that is, a learned Shi’a cleric, with a thorough knowledge of Islam.

And how this works itself out in the present world:

Here are more photos of the expression of Islamic piety in Iraqi Kurdistan Friday. After Friday prayers, Muslim mobs promptly misunderstood Islam: they left mosques and ransacked Christian-owned liquor stores and other businesses. I am sure the mainstream media reports will be along presently to tell us that this has nothing to do with Islam.

Of course -- in case anyone doesn't realize -- to say that this mob of savages misunderstood Islam is sarcasm. The mob didn't misunderstand Islam at all. Clearly they were acting upon what they heard in the khutba, the Friday sermon. They stormed out of the mosque and took vengeance against Christians they regarded as "spreading corruption in the land" (cf. Qur'an 5:33).

These photos were sent to me by the same Iraqi reader who has been sending us regular reports (earlier coverage, including more photos and video, here, here, and here). These photos come courtesy Ankawa.com here and here.

Capitalist Crisis and Islamic Jihad

We call our site jihadcapitalistcrisis.blogspot.com and the reason for this is very simple. The reactionary forces of Islam are linked with and in the reactionary forces of capitalism in crisis, of Obama and Bush, of Cameron and Blair.

It is hard to know which is the main partner, Jihad or capitalism/imperialism

What is certain is that in these countries the capitalist west joined in with the Jihad

1.     (1965) Suharto takes over from Sukarno in Indonesia, PKI Communists liquidated, at least half a million murders

2.   (1990s) From 1991 to 1995 especially, the complete destruction of a country, Yugoslavia, and especially in Bosnia and Kosovo there is an open alliance between Jihad and the western capitalist powers

3.   In recent months, in the so-called and very misnamed “Arab Spring”, there is a complete change in the world situation with Israel and Jewish people terribly threatened. This is brought about by the most open alliance between Jihad and the western capitalist powers represented by the intervention of Islam. Barbaric cruelty has been involved and on display on our television screens daily but many are closing their eyes to this: A. Ivory Coast B. Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria C. Above all the alliance of Obama and Jihad against Israel on behalf of the Palestinian Arab Fascists.

Why is capitalism joining with the Jihad (Jihad is the essence of Islam)?

The Crisis! The Crisis! The Crisis!

That is the only explanation that makes any sense. But again there are many who cannot see this. They are stuck in the past, in old thoughts about the world…

Is “Democratic” Egypt Progressing or Regressing?

As elections in Egypt continue, Western politicians and Western media assure us of one thing: that Egyptians can finally vote is great “progress.”

But is the mere right and act of voting a valid sign of “progress”? No, at root, democracy is a mode of governance that simply empowers the people. True “progress” is gauged by what these people do with their empowerment—the civilization they create, the codes they institute.

Consider this picture: on the right is a painting of an Egyptian woman, as women appeared some three thousand years before the invasion of Islam, when Egypt was among the first of civilizations; on the left is a typical Egyptian woman of today, a product of Arab-Islamic civilization.

Far from “romanticizing” the past, these juxtaposed portraits, separated by nearly 5,000 years, make a valid point. As many historians agree, ancient Egyptian women were “liberated” by antiquity’s standards. Today, on the other hand, not only are Muslim women in Egypt kept “under wraps,” but, indoctrinated by the words of their prophet, they maintain that “women are deficient in intelligence.”
