Been busy as heck. And really, because I cover so much of my live stream, so much on the episodes and then so much on the OGC live stream on Thursday nights. Old Glory Club live stream on Thursday nights. When it comes to what's been happening currently, I really haven't had much to talk about. So I apologize. But I'm back because I found a book. I didn't find it. It's been recommended to me over the years and I finally got a chance to sit down with it, read the first couple chapters and I was like, oh, you know, I haven't done anything on substack. So many people support me on substack and I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. So I thought, well, why not? Why not start something and see where it goes? I've gotten used to having Dr. Johnson with me doing 200 years together so he could comment on it and provide background into it. But in my reading of this there was so it was so well explained and it's very short. The book itself is almost 200 pages, but the whole book is almost 200 pages. But basically the long essay that she came up with and split into chapters. Ms. Alison Weir, who wrote this book against our better judgment. The subtitle is the Hidden History of How the US Was Used to Create Israel. I don't know. I don't have an el on Alison Weir and it really doesn't matter. What matters is what's in the book and I Thought, yeah, well, why not read this? It's short. It's a subject that a lot of people don't know a lot about. I thought I knew a lot about it and there's stuff in here that I didn't know. And yeah, everything I've read so far has been something that, you know, you can use this to show people who don't understand that this is not a holy alliance and that the founding of Israel wasn't something that should be celebrated. It wasn't a land without, without a people for a people without a land. So yeah, this is what I decided to do. And I don't know how long these are going to be. Probably not long, but see when my voice starts getting tired. But yeah, I thought I'd start going through this book, a little bit of introduction today and get through at least the first chapter, maybe the second, but. So this book, Dean Acheson, he is a US statesman, 1947. Let's take a look. I'm do this in real time, see what it says. He was an American politician and lawyer, was the 51st US Secretary of State. He set the foreign policy of Harry S. Truman. So he wasn't a, you know, a journalist, he wasn't a blogger of the time. He didn't have a newsletter of the time. He was actually Secretary of State, helped to set foreign policy. So what he has to say in the, the blurb at the top of the book is creating Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would imperil not only American but but all Western interests in the Near East. He said that in 1947, before State of Israel was founded. So just to scroll a little bit here, she wrote this in 2014. I'm sure she started researching it earlier. There are the chapters. She has some acknowledgments, but she says a couple of things she says in the intro was she's asked how she became so intensely interested and she said like most Americans, she felt the region had little to do with her. In the fall of 2000, when the second intifada, the Palestinian uprising was in the news, she grew curious about it and decided to look into the conflict and quickly noticed it was one sided coverage. So she used her background in journalism and the newly available Internet to notice a drastic pattern of Israeli violence against Palestinians that mainstream US news organizations were revealing. And of course, I mean this is something we shouldn't even have to worry about, right? This isn't something we should have an interest in. There are things like this are happening all over the world There are massacres happening every day, there are lands being taken every day. But Israel holds a insane influence over this country, let's just say much more so than Qatar or Qatar, however you want to pronounce it. So she said she just started going through it and she started doing her research and yeah, she decided that she was going to turn this into. She says a lot of this is a collection of her articles from the trip. Now, like I said, It's 179 pages. The first 80 to 85 are the book. But then she has so many endnotes and she said she just felt like she had to do the endnotes. She wanted to keep the basis of the article book small enough so that people would want to read it. So she made the endnotes into something completely different that you can go, we can go and look through. But I want to concentrate on the basis of the text. So let me start reading and see where this goes. See how you like it. Chapter one, how the US Special Relationship with Israel Came About While many people are led to believe the US support for Israel is driven by the American establishment and US national interest, the facts don't support this theory. The reality is that for decades U.S. foreign policy and defense experts opposed supporting the creation of Israel. They then similarly opposed the massive American funding and diplomatic support that sustained the forcibly established state and that provided a blank check for its aggressive expansion. They were simply outmaneuvered and eventually replaced. Talking about the experts, the defense experts and foreign policy experts who spoke out against this. Like Many American policies, U.S. middle east policies are driven by a special interest lobby. However, the Israel lobby, as it is called today in the US As a footnote there, consists of vastly more than what most people envision in the world in the word lobby. Let me pull that up on a separate screen just so that I can look at some of the. Follow along on a separate screen and look at some of the footnotes as we do this together and see where she's. I'm assuming Israel Lobby is probably going to link to. Yeah, says in Israel is typically called the Jewish Lobby. Perhaps reflective of the fact that today virtually all the mainstream Jewish organizations in the U.S. both secular, religious and secular, the ADL, Jewish Federations, Jewish Community Relations Council, Conference of Presidents and major Jewish yada, yada, yada, yada. All of these advocate for Israel. And she has a list, she has a link to a list there. So yeah, so we can see, we can follow this along and use. See where she's pulling this from. Reading on as this book will demonstrate the Israel Lobby is considerably more powerful and pervasive than other lobbies components of it, both individuals and groups have worked underground, secretly and even illegally throughout its history, as documented by scholars and participants. Not those kind of scholars. And even through the movement for even though the movement for Israel has been operating in the US for over 100 years, most Americans are completely unaware of this movement and its attendant ideology, a measure of its unique influence over public knowledge. What is she saying there? Saying how does the public get knowledge of these things? I think this is some kind of troop she's hinting at. The success of this movement to achieve its goals, partly due to the hidden nature of much of its activity, has been staggering. It has also come at almost unimaginable cost. It has led to massive tragedy in the Middle East. 100 year war of violence and loss. Sacred land soaked in sorrow. In addition, this movement has been profoundly damaging to the United States itself, as we will see in this two part examination of the pro Israel movement. It has targeted virtually every significant sector of American society, worked to involve Americans in tragic, unnecessary and profoundly costly wars, dominated Congress for decades, increasingly determined which candidates could become serious contenders for the U.S. presidency and promoted bigotry toward an entire population, religion and culture. I will remind you that there are going to be things that we are. Alison Weir is, as far as I can tell, she's not one of us. So there may be language in here where you roll your eyes at it. We're here for the information. We're not going to agree with everyone. So all right. It has promoted policies that have endangered Americans. Americans to exposed Americans to growing danger and then exaggerated this danger while disguising its cause, fueling actions that dismember some of our nation's most fundamental freedoms and cherished principles. Another footnote. This is the example. Tom Stevens civil liberties after September 11th counterpunch article a report. A report. A call to courage reclaiming our liberty 10 years after 911 from the ACLU. Like I said, she's. She's going to pull from people that I don't think she's going to be quoting American Renaissance here. And that's okay. All right. All this for a population that is considerably smaller than New Jersey's. That's how she ends. Chapter one Short but sweet. Chapter two the Beginnings the Israel Lobby in the US is just the tip of an older and much and far larger iceberg known as political Zionism. An international movement that began in the late 1800s with the goal of creating a Jewish State somewhere in the world. In 1897, this movement, led by a European, quote unquote European journalist named Theodore Herzl, coalesced in the first Zionist Congress held in Basel, Switzerland, which established a World Zionist organization representing 117 groups the first year, 900 the next. So let me see about, let's see Herzl here. What is it? What we got here? Herzl is considered the founder of political Zionism, is often referred to as the Father of Israel. His seminal book the Jewish State is online. Herzl devoted all his time to the movement, eventually dying at the age of 44, leaving his family penniless. All right, let's keep reading. There's another immediate one here that said 900 the next. So the first year of the World Zionist Congress was representing 117 groups and then 900 the next. And there is a. There it says Kathleen Christensen, Perceptions of Palestine, their influence on US Middle Eastern policy. From a book from 2000, John Herbert Davis, the Evasive A Study of the Zionist Arab Problem Verse. That's a book for New World Press, 1970. It was called the Zion the Zionist Organization. Its name officially changed to World Zionist organization in 1960. Most people use the two names interchangeably. Okay, so more there of what we're reading and where she's footnoting. While Zionists considered such places as Argentina, Uganda and the Mediterranean island of Cyprus and Texas, they eventually settled on Palestine for the location of their proposed Jewish state, even though Palestine was already inhabited by a population that was 93 to 96% non Jewish. So when you hear them say a land without a people for a people without a land, they're lying, they're lying, they're lying. So it's just some more. Another footnote number six goes to connects to a book. Footnote number seven. Says. Oh, here's a good one. Number seven. The best analysis says the population was 96% Muslim. Muslims and Christians who own 99% of the land. After the Zionist Congress, Vienna's rabbis sent two of their number to explore Palestine as a possible Jewish state. These rabbis recognize the obstacle that Palestinians presented to the plan, writing home, the bride is beautiful, but she is married to another man. Still, Zionists ultimately pushed forward. Numerous Zionist diary entries, letters and other documents show that they decided to push out these non Jews financially if possible, violently if necessary. So what are violently if necessary? That's by Nur, a book by Nur Masalha. Expulsion of the Palestinians, the Concept of Transfer in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948 Washington D.C. institute for Palestine Studies Alrighty, so let's keep going. Lay off these, lay off these footnotes so much. Only maybe an important one. Political Zionism in the US the importance of the United States to this movement was recognized from early on. One of the founders of political Zionism, Max Nordau, wrote a few years after the Basel Conference, Zionism's only hope is the Jews of America. Which means that really anyone who's using the name Max Nordau or is a fan of Max Nordau should want all Jews to go to Israel. This is the only hope. That's what their namesake said at that time and for decades after, the large majority of Jewish Americans were not Zionists. In fact, many actively opposed Zionism. In the coming years, however, Zionists were to woo them assiduously with every means at hand. The extent to which Nordau's hope was eventually realized is indicated by the statement by a prominent author on Jewish history, Naomi Cohen, who in 2003 wrote, quoting, but for the financial support and political pressure of American Jews, Israel might not have been born in 1948. So you had a group of people who were wealthy and had political power who were advocating for someplace else. My great grandfather had been here, let's see, 38 years in 1948, he was advocating for America. My grandfather was born here. He had just served in World War II. He wasn't thinking about going anywhere else and he's buried here. So this might be added. Zionist success in influencing American politicians, the media and much of the general public. Groups advocating the setting up of a Jewish state had first begun popping up in around the United states in the 1880s. Emma Lazarus, the poet whose words would adorn the Statue of Liberty, promoted Zionism throughout this decade. A precursor to the American flag was created in Boston in 1891. So Emma Lazarus wrote the famous poem on the Statue of Liberty saying that people from all over the world should be allowed into the United States without, you know, without exception. She made it sound like anybody could come here while she was promoting her own people, having her own country. A precursor to the Israeli flag was created in Boston in 1891. In 1887, President Grover Cleveland appointed a Jewish ambassador to Turkey, seat of the Ottoman Empire, which at that time controlled Palestine because of Palestine's importance to Zionists. Think about that Jewish ambassador to Turkey. Jewish historian David G. Dylan reports that presidents considered the Turkish Embassy important to the growing number of Zionists within the American Jewish electorate. The growing number of Zionists within the American Jewish electorate. A group of people who want their own land. But then when it's founded, they don't go. A lot of. Some of them went, a lot of them didn't. Well, why? Why isn't that a good. I always thought that that was a really good question. It might be something of a loaded question, but it's a good question. Every president, both Republican and Democrat, followed this precedent for the next 30 years. During this era, the ambassadorship to Turkey came to be considered a quasi Jewish domain, writes dalen. So for 30 years after 1887, if you wanted to be the ambassador to Turkey, you had better be a Zionist and you better be Jewish. By the early 1890s, organizations promoting Zionism existed in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia, and Cleveland. Reports from the Zionist World Council in Basel, which four Americans had attended, gave this movement a major stimulus, galvanizing Zionist activities in American cities that had large Jewish populations. In 1897 and 98, Zionists founded numerous additional societies throughout the east and the Midwest. In 1898, they converged in a first annual conference of American Zionists held in New York on July 4th. There they formed the Federation of American Zionists FAZ they did it on July 4th. First Annual Conference of American Zionists. People who have. Who are going to advocate for their own country. They do it on July 4th. By the 1910s, the number of Zionists in the US approached 20,000 and included lawyers, professors, and businessmen. Even in its infancy, when it was still relatively weak and represented only a tiny fraction of the American Jewish population, Zionism was becoming a movement to which congressmen, particularly in the eastern cities, began to listen. The movement continued to expand. By 1914, several additional Zionist groups had formed, including Hadassah, the Women's Zionist organization. By 1918, there were 200. There were. By 1918, there were 200,000 Zionists in the U.S. and by 1948, that had grown to almost a million. So 1910, 20,000. Roughly 1918, 200,000. Thirty years later, almost a million. From early on, Zionists actively pushed their agenda in the media. One Zionist organizer proudly proclaimed in 1912, quoting the zealous and incessant propaganda which is carried on by countless societies. The Yiddish press from a very early period espoused the Zionist cause. By 1923, every New York Yiddish paper newspaper except one was Zionist. Yiddish dailies reached 535,000 families in 1927. This is in the United States, not in Russia, not in. While Zionists were making major inroads and influencing Congress and the media, State Department officials were less enamored with Zionists who they felt were trying to use the American government for a project damaging to the United States. These are smart people. These are the people Stormy and I talked about in our Robber Baron series. Unlike politicians, State Department officials were not dependent on votes and campaign donations. They were charged with recommending and implementing policies beneficial to all Americans, not just one tiny sliver working on behalf of a foreign entity. In memo after memo, year after year, US Diplomatic and military experts pointed out that Zionism was counter to both U.S. interests and principles. Why would that be? Why would they think that? Is that because they were anti Semites? Is that because they were low iq? US Diplomatic and military experts. They're just not smart people. You know, probably from the South, 80 IQs, or maybe, as Leo Pinsker, one of the fathers of Zionism, said, antisemitism is just hereditary. It was passed down to them. I don't think that's it at all. But if they can be hyperbolic, so can we. While more examples will be discussed later, Secretary of State Philander Knox was perhaps the first in the pattern of State Department officials rejecting Zionist advances. In 1912, the Zionist Literary Society approached its AF administration for an endorsement. Knox turned them down flat, noting that problems of Zionism involve certain matters primarily related to the interests of countries other than our own. He's saying, we're America. This has nothing to do with us, so go away. Despite the small setback in 1912, Zionists garnered a far more significant victory in the same year, one that was to have enormous consequences both internationally and in the United States. And that was a pattern of influence that continues through today. I think I'm going to stop right there. That's enough. Do the little intro, read the first two short chapters, and then come back in a couple days and do Louis Brandeis, Zionism and the Persian. All right, so, yeah, I want to do more for everybody who supports unsubstack. It's such a great platform and the fact that you guys support me through it is. Is great. And, you know, I appreciate it. And like I said, I think this is a good book to go through. It'll be pretty short. I can look for something else to look down the line at. So, yeah, that's it. And be back in a couple days. Take care. Bye. Welcome back to part two of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment by all. We're picking. Going to pick right up chapter three where I left off. Just a reminder, this, A lot of this may be remedial to some of you, so you may just skip over it. That's fine. That's. It's not for you. You know, there are people who can dig, who are willing, like myself, to dig much deeper into this. People who are willing to listen to Daryl's, you know, Daryl's whole. I forget how many hours Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem is. But, you know, even some, a lot of that doesn't go into this because this really concentrates on the American side. So yeah, like I said, don't know much about Ms. Weir. I explained, if you want to know. I went over a little bit of what of her background or why she did why she said she wrote this on the first episode. I wouldn't start with this episode. I'd go to, to the episode. So yep, just gonna jump right in, picking up where we Left off. Chapter 3 Louis Brandeis, Zionism and the Parishion In 1912, prominent Jewish American attorney Louis Brandeis, who was to go on to become a Supreme Court justice, became a Zionist. Within two years, he became head of the International Zionist Central Office, newly moved to America from Germany. While Brandeis is an unusually well known Supreme Court justice, most Americans are aware of the significant are unaware of the significant role he played in World War I and his connection to Palestine. Some of this work was done by Felix Frankfurter, who became a Supreme Court justice two decades later. Perhaps the aspect of Brandeis that is least known to the general public, and often even to academics, is the extent of his zealotry and the degree to which he used covert measures to achieve his aims. Covert? Who would have thought? While today Brandeis is held in extremely high esteem by almost all Americans, there was significant opposition at the time to his appointment to the Supreme Court, largely centered on widespread accusations of unethical behavior. A typical example is the view that Brandeis was a man who was a man who has certain high ideals in his imagination, but who is utterly unscrupulous in method in reaching them. That's a quote from. Let's see where that's a quote from. That is from Melvin Orofsky's Louis D. Brandeis A Life, published in 2009. Orofsky, an Israeli partisan and Brandeis champion, while noting that the campaign against Brandeis centered on ethical questions, attributed the motivation to political differences. All right. While today such criticisms in Brandeis are either ignored or attributed to political differences or anti Semitism, let's stop right there and go to 30 regarding the possible role of antisemitism in the opposition to Brandeis. This is in her notes. In her footnote it seems that his ethnicity may actually have enhanced his chances. Many Jewish leaders, while disliking his Zionism, felt they must support him. Why would that be? Many Jewish leaders, while disliking his Zionism, felt they must must support him. Why? Because of identity. Similarly, many non Jews, fearful of being called antisemitic, remain silent. Journalist Gus Karger reported at the time that quoting many senators who might base their opposition to him on sound and logical grounds if he were a Presbyterian, are reluctant to take a stand lest their opposition be misconstrued. That is a quote from page 440 of the above mentioned Louis D. Brandeis, A Life by Yourofsky Bruce Allen Murphy. So two also. That's next footnote. Pardon me. So while today many such. Let me finish the sentence. While today many such criticisms of Brandeis are either ignored or attributed to political differences and or anti Semitism, there is evidence suggesting that such views and may have been more accurate than Brandeis partisans would like. In 1982, historian Bruce Allen Murphy, in a book that won a certificate of merit from the American Bar association, reported that Brandeis and Frankfurter had secretly collaborated over many years on numerous covert political activities. Zionism was one of them. Okay, when you talk about this at this point, even if you're an academic, even if you have the highest academic credentials, you're a conspiracy theorist. It doesn't matter whether you can prove it or not. Saying that two people secretly collaborated over many years on numerous covert political activities is considered a conspiracy theory. So let's go to the footnote. This is a footnote from Bruce Allen Murphy, the Brandeis Frankfurter Connection. The Secret Political Activities of Two Supreme Court Justices, Oxford University Press, 1982, page 10. Bruce Murphy is a judicial biographer and scholar of the American Constitution of Law and Politics, and is the Fred Morgan Kirby professor of Civil Rights at Lafayette College. He holds a PhD from the University of Virginia. This book received a Certificate American from the American Bar Association. The next coming footnotes will be all from this book. Continuing in one of the most unique arrangements in the Court's history, Brandeis enlisted Frankfurter, then a professor at Harvard Law School, as his paid political lobbyist and lieutenant, writes Murphy in his book the Brandeis Frankfurter Connection. The Secret Political Activities of Two Supreme Court Justices. Quoting. Working together over a period of 25 years, they placed a network of disciples in positions of influence and labored diligently for the enactment of their desired programs. Working together over a period of 25 years, most people say, oh, you couldn't even get Conspiracy. You can't get two people to agree on anything. Working together over a period of 25 years, they placed a network of disciples in positions of influence and labored diligently for the enactment of their desired programs. This adroit use of the politically skillful Frankfurter as an intermediary enabled Brandeis to keep his considerable political endeavors hidden from the public, continues Murphy. Brandeis only mentioned the arrangement to one other person, Murphy writes, another Zionist lieutenant Court of Appeals Judge Julian Mack. One reason Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their arrangement secret was that such behavior by a sitting Supreme Court justice is considered highly unreasonable, unethical. As an editorial in the New York Times pointed out following the publication of Murphy's book, quoting the Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement was wrong. It serves neither history nor ethics to judge it more kindly, as some seem disposed to do. The prolonged, meddlesome Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement violates ethical standards. The Times reiterates a point also made by Murphy. The fact that Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their arrangement secret demonstrated that they knew it was unethical, or at least realized that the public would view it as such. Quoting again, they were dodging the public's appropriate measure of fitness. Later, when Frankfurter himself became a Supreme Court justice, he used similar methods. Quoting. Placing his own network of disciples in various agencies and working through this network for the realization of his own goals, close quote. These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship of FDR's programs to bring the US into battle against Hitler. Read that again. These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship of FDR's program to bring the U.S. into battle against Hitler. These are not two separate things. These are not 2 separate things. Sorry, sorry to the people who think that Hitler was a Zion was a Zionist puppet. Those retards, all right. Their activities, Murphy notes, were part of a vast. Quoting. Part of a vast, carefully planned and orchestrated political crusade undertaken first by Brandeis through Frankfurter, and then by Frankfurter on his own to accomplish extrajudicial political goals. Frankfurter had joined the Harvard faculty in 1914 at the age of 31, a post gained after a Brandeis initiated donation from financier Jacob Schiff to Harvard. That created a position for Frankfurter. Then, Murphy writes, quoting. For the next 25 years, frankfurter shaped the minds of generations of the nation's most elite law students. After Brandeis became head of the American Zionist movement, he created an advisory council, an inner circle of his closest advisors, and appointed Felix Frankfurter as one of its Members, let's go back up to Jacob Schiff. I can give you, okay, 1905, the revolution in Russia begins. The Reds, all just a Jewish organization, is supported by Jacob Schiff. Let's put that aside for a second. In 1905, the reason why you would start a revolution in Russia is because Russia is fighting Japan in the Russo Japanese War, which the United States government and Jacob Schiff in which they supported Japan against Russia. So while Russia is fighting Japan to, you know, I mean, I even forget what that was over because it's mostly the whole thing for it for me is just how they use it as an excuse to start the Russian Revolution. Schiff convinces the United States government and through himself finances Japan against Russia. And he's financing the revolutionary movement in Russia to overthrow the Tsar. And then he financed much of the 1917 revolution because the 1905 revolution didn't obviously didn't work. We know that damaging, but it didn't work. So Jacob Schiff had a hard on for Russia. Why? Because some fake pogroms? Because some Sabbatians, some Sabbatian Jewish people in the 1600s decided that the Messiah was coming so they would just start killing people openly by the hundreds. Kind of what we see happening now. And Cossacks had to step in and squash it. And to this day Jews will tell you they were just sitting around doing nothing. And all of a sudden Cossacks showed up and killed 35,000 or 40,000 of them. Chapter four, or actually new section, the parishion. Even more surprising to this author, Ms. Weirs speaking of herself, of course, and even less well known both to the public and to academics, is Brandeis membership in a secret society that covertly pushed Zionism both in the US and internationally. Let's check the footnotes for that. So the footnote says it is surprising how extremely buried this information remains after I posted Sarah Schmidt's article on it. See the footnote below. Online in 2010 and mentioned it in my online and print drafts of the book. Another book released this year mentions the Society but fails to report accurately on its covert nature and significant activities. So I guess that's called the book is called Just scrolling a little bit forward. Sara Schmidt, the Parish, A Secret Episode in American Zionist History. American Jewish historical quarterly number 65, December 1975, pages 121 through 39. So Sarah Schmidt looks also to have written. Horace M. Prophet of American Zionism in 1995. Then it says Dr. Sara Schmidt teaches courses related to modern Jewish history at the Rothburg International School, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, with an emphasis both in Israeli and American Jewish history. She is also associated with the Jerusalem center for Public Arts, focused on Israeli security, regional diplomacy and international law. And there's a link there to a website and then it says, peter Gross, israel and the Mind of America. Enough. Publication 1984. I guess we'll be talking about that. Peter Gross was an editor and specialist in the history of intelligence and an editor in the. For the New York Times and Foreign Affairs. Foreign affairs in the economy. Newspaper. I believe that's. Oh, not newspaper, but magazine believe. It's believe that. He held a position at the Belfer center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He is author of a number of books on modern US History. All right, back to what I was writing. I did want to say that because I want to go to that, because, I mean, that is a. You're making a claim about a secret society. Well, where did that come from? It came from a professor at the University of Jerusalem, Israeli professor Dr. Sara Schmidt first reported this information in an article about the society published in 1978 in the American Jewish Historical Quarterly. She also devoted a chapter to the society in a 1995 book. Author and former New York Times editor Peter Gross, sympathetic to Zionism, also reported on it in both a book and several subsequent articles. According to Gross, a highly regarded author, Brandeis was a leader of. Quoting. An elitist secret society called the Parishm, the Hebrew word for Pharisees and separate, which grow out of Harvard's. Which grew out of Harvard's Menorah Society. Are you starting to understand that this just didn't happen like yesterday? This didn't happen in the last 10 years, didn't happen at the founding of Israel. You understand how far back this goes? Schmidt writes, the image that emerges of the Parishion is that of a secret underground guerrilla force determined to influence the course of events in a quiet, anonymous way. That's all. Quote. Gross writes that Brandeis used to parish him, quote, as a private intellectual cadre, a pool of manpower. For various assignments, Brandeis recruited ambitious young men, often from Harvard, to work on the Zionist cause and further their careers in the process. Gee, do you think that could also work in the opposite direction? If they work for the Zionist cause, you get to further your career. If you don't. Quoting. As the Harvard men spread out across the land in their professional pursuits, Gross reports, their interest in Zionism were kept alive by secretive exchanges and the trappings of a fraternal order. Each Invited, initiate underwent a solemn ceremony swearing the oath. Swearing the oath. Quote, to guard and to obey and to keep secret the laws and the labor of the fellowship, its existence and its aims. Close quote. At the secret initiation ceremony, new members were told. This is quoting from this book by a Zionist. They really like to brag, sometimes quoting. You are about to take a step which will bind you to a single cause. For all your life, you will for one year be subject to an absolute duty whose call you will be impelled to heed at any time, in any place and at any cost and ever after, until our purpose shall be accomplished. You will be fellow of a brotherhood whose bond you will regard as greater than any other in your life, dearer than that of family, of school, of nation. So what you can assume is the best and brightest legal minds, or I mean any. I'm sure Brandeis could reach out beyond the law department, whatever he is getting the best minds in the country, the people who are coming out of the elite, the most elite institution in the country by reputation, to pledge their loyalty to Zionism, above family, above school, and above their nation. How did we get to the point where we're not even a country anymore? I don't know. While Brandeis was a key leader of the parishion, an academic named Horace M. Callan was its founder, created it in 1913. What else happened? Weird stuff happening here. Callan was. And, well, what happened the following year is probably really important. Even more so important. I think the beginning of the war, the Great War, is more important than the founding of the Federal Reserve. Libertarians just screaming their heads off right now. Callan was an academic, first hired by Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton, to teach English there. When Callan founded the parishion, he was a philosophy professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. This secret Zionist society was founded at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. You want to stop and think about that for a second? And this is what 1913. Have any thoughts? Callan is generally considered the father of cultural pluralism. What's another word for cultural pluralism? Could it be multiculturalism? You understand, though, why I wanted to read this book? In her book on Callan, Schmidt includes more information on the society. In a chapter entitled Callan's Secret army, the Parishion, she reports a member swearing allegiance. This is quoting a member swearing allegiance to the parishion felt something of a spirit of commitment to a secret military fellowship. Still quoting, Callan invited no one to become a member until the candidate had given specific assurances regarding devotion and resolution to the Zionist cause, Schmidt writes, quoting again and each initiate had to undergo a rigorous analysis of his qualifications, loyalty and willingness to take orders from the Orders Executive Council. Willingness to take orders from the orders Executive Council. Now go up here. What does it say? You will be in a bond dearer than that of your family, of your school and of your nation. So if they are given an order that contradicts the good of the nation, Well, the orders Executive council trumps America. Not surprisingly, it appears that Frankfurter was a member. Let's see, 51. 51. Let's see where we go here. On that one is Ben Halpern, the Americanization of Zionism 1880-1930 in American Zionism, Mission and Politics by Jeffrey 1998, part of a 13 volume series edited by Jeffrey S. Garroch published by the American Jewish Historical Society. And also Gross in Gross or that's not part of that. So yeah, another one that this comes from a Jewish source. You don't need to really read outside of them. They will tell you. All right, we must New heading We must work silently through education and infection. Members of the parishion were quite clear about the necessity of keeping their activities secret. An early recruiter to the parishion explained, quoting an organization which has the aims we have, must be anonymous, must work silently and through education and infection rather than through force and noise. He wrote that to work openly would be suicidal for their objective. Education and infection rather than force and noise. Why would he write that working openly would be suicidal for their objective? Is it because if people found out, if the WASP elites at the time found out, even if the public might have got wind of it? Especially since there was a group in the south who, because of the Leo Frank trial, who had pretty much been kind of dormant for a while, ramped up again, Gross describes how the group worked toward achieving its goals. Quote, the members set about meeting people of influence here and there casually, on a friendly basis. They planted suggestions for actions further the Zionist cause. Long before official government planners had come up with anything, The members set about meeting people of influence here and there casually, on a friendly basis. Why did my mind reading that immediately think of Jeffrey Epstein. Continuing? For example, Gross writes, as early as November 1915, a leader of the parishm went around suggesting that the British might gain some benefit from a formal declaration in support of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine. She writes more on this in the following chapter. Brandeis was also a close friend of the President Woodrow Wilson and used this access to advocate for the Zionist cause, at times serving as a conduit between British Zionists and the President. A lot of people think, oh, Colonel House working in the background did all this. No, no, it's Louis Brandeis. Sure, hidden. But it didn't have to be the secret of Colonel House, it just had to be secret. In 1916, President Wilson named Brandeis to the Supreme Court. All of these coincidences, coincidences. At that time, as was required by standard ethics, Brandeis gave into pressure to officially resign from all his private clubs and affiliations, including his leadership of Zionism. But behind the scenes, he continued the Zionist work quietly receiving daily reports in his Supreme Court chambers and issuing orders to his loyal lieutenants. That footnote is wow. Scrolling forward, she has a lot here. It's from Neil Gross mind, from Neil Piffer's and also Gross mind of America. Brandeis also played a decisive role in planning Wilson's economic program and particularly informant formulating the Federal Reserve. Of course, he did all right, Including his leadership. But behind the scenes, he continued the Zionist war quietly. Okay. When the Zionist organization of America Zoa was reorganized in 1918, Brandeis was listed as its honorary president. However, he was more than just honorary. As historian Donald Neff writes, quoting through his lieutenants, he remained the power behind the throne. One of these lieutenants, of course, was Felix Frankfurter. Zionist membership expanded dramatically during World War I despite the efforts of some Jewish anti Zionists, one of whom called the movement a foreign, un American racist and separatist phenomenon. I think we'll stop there. First one was about 25 minutes, we're at about 28 now. Do this in bite sized chunks because there's a lot here and yeah, I'm not. I mean I think this is best taken this way. Best taken this way. I mean the first one, first episode we did chapter one and two, that was just chapter three. And I don't want to jump right now into chapter four, which is World War I and the Balfour Declaration, because the hits are going to keep on coming. And like I said, there are some people who are like, I knew this, I knew this, I knew this, I knew this, and we need you. But yeah, a lot of people just don't know about this stuff. And I think it's important, especially now, especially at a time when you are seeing a full court press by international Zionism and not only Zionists to hide what they're doing. It's kind of hard to hide it when you have video, but definitely to lie about it. You just need to see this isn't a new ballgame. This is just this is a game that they play. It's a hand they play over and over and over again, which is really stupid on their part because. At this time, at the time that Brandeis and Frankfurter were doing this in the 1910s, the conception that we would have the Internet and instant access, being able to bunk things in real time, they should have started playing a different hand by now, but it's the same one. Hope you see that. All right, be back in a couple days and we will pick up with chapter four. Take care. Bye. Good morning. And it actually is morning, so bear with me. Last couple ones actually let you know a little secret. Corded them in the afternoon scheduled for the next day, but this one is Friday morning and I am exhausted, so. But I didn't want to abandon this or delay it at all because the reactions I've been getting to this book have been pretty incredible so far. So even Stormy contacted me, is like, oh. I'm like, yeah, yeah. So, all right, let's jump back into it. Last episode, we talked about Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter and Supreme Court and basically how they secretly, and not openly, but secretly worked behind the scenes, formed secret societies to push the Zionist agenda in America from the Supreme Court bench. All right, chapter four. World War I and the Balfour Declaration. Most analysts consider World War I a pointless conflict that resulted from diplomatic entanglements rather than some travesty of justice or aggression. Yet it was catastrophic to a generation of Europeans, killing 14 million people. The United States joined this unnecessary war a few years into the hostilities, causing many American lives, even though the US Was not party to the alliances that had drawn other nations into the fray. This, even though Americans had been strongly opposed to entering the war and Woodrow Wilson had won the presidency with the slogan, he kept us out of war. President Wilson changed course in 1917 and plunged the US into the tragic European conflict. Approximately 270,000Americans were killed or injured. That was in, I mean, less than two years. Over 1200American citizens who opposed the war were rounded up and imprisoned, some for years, for going out into the streets and telling people to dodged a draft. They were thrown in prison. It's a free country, bro. A number of reasons were publicly given for Wilson's change of heart, including Germany's submarine warfare, Germany's sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania, and a diplomatic debacle known as the Zimmerman Telegram episode. All complete propaganda. Germans took out ads and papers telling people, don't go on any American ships. We know they have weapons and munitions. Aboard them, even if they're a passenger ship like the Lusitania, which sank in about four minutes because it was. Because it exploded as soon as it got hit by. By a torpedo, because it had munitions on it. They said, don't do it. And then the Zimmerman telegram. Thomas and I went over that in one of the World War I episodes. So go check out that series. While Americans today are aware of many of these facts, few know that Zionism appears to have been one of those factors. Diverse documentary evidence shows a Zionist push for the US to enter the war on Britain's side as part of a deal to gain British support for their colonization of Palestine. From the very beginning of their movement, Zionists realized that if they were to succeed in their goals of creating a Jewish state on land that was already inhabited by non Jews, they needed backing from one of the great powers. Remember I mentioned probably in episode one, from the river, not from the river to the sea, but a land without a people for a people without a land. All you have to do is go read Herzl or read any of the proto Zionists. They knew there were people there. They talk about them. I believe Herzl calls them their brothers, brothers and sisters. They tried the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Palestine at the time, but were turned down. Although they were told the Jews could settle throughout other parts of the Ottoman Empire and become Turkish citizens, they then turn to Britain, which was also initially less enthusiastic. Famous English Middle east experts such as Gertrude Bell pointed out that Palestine was Arab and that Jerusalem was sacred to all three major monotheistic faiths. Judaism has not been a monotheistic faith in a very long time. Sorry, go listen to my reading of Israel Shahak's Jewish history, Jewish religion. He explains, it's not a monotheistic. If anything, they're closer to pagan worship now than anything else. Polytheistic pagan worship. Future British Foreign Minister Lord George Corzon similarly stated that Palestine was already inhabited by half a million Arabs who would not be content either to be expropriated for Jewish immigrants or to act merely as hewers of wood and drawers of drawers of water. For the latter, however, once the British were emboiled In World War I, and particularly during 1916, a disastrous year for the Allies, in which there were 60,000 British casualties in one day alone, Zionists were able to play a winning card. I have to take a sip of coffee on that number. Imagine losing a baseball stadium worth of your soldiers men, the next generation in one day. While they previously had appealed to religious or idealistic arguments. Now, Zionist leaders could add a particularly powerful motivator. Telling the British government that Zionists in the US would push America to enter the war on the side of the British if the British promised to support a Jewish home in Palestine afterward. So what's he saying? Wealthy and powerful Jews, Zionists, Jews, they're all Jews, Most of them, 99%, would help get the United States into a war, a war where 60,000 British boys died in one day and British men died in one day. If they could just have this shitty piece of land that they don't even know what to do with. They couldn't. Till. They couldn't do anything with if they, if they tried. It's already been proven in Russia. They're not farmers. They're not. They're. They just want this land. In 1917, British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour issued a letter to Zionist leader Lord Rothschild. You can see it on the. Just pull up Balfour Declaration on Google and you'll actually see the letter. Notice the Balfour Declaration. This letter promised that Britain would view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object. The letter then qualified this somewhat by stating that it should be clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine. Once again, a land without a people for a people without a land is fucking bullshit. And anyone who says it is a fucking liar. And they're to be dismissed out of hand and shunned at this point. Who, at the point we're at in this country, who cares if they're brainwashed? Brainwashed people need to be shunned until they come to their fucking senses. I've said this before, and I mean, I know it's trivial because, oh, it's Twitter. I block people on Twitter and if you come back to me a year, a year later, six months later, and go, yeah, you were right, I'm sorry, I'll unblock you now. We can. But I'm not going to even associate with you on fucking social media. You think I want to associate, associate with you in real life? I don't want you anywhere near me. I don't want you in the polity. I don't want you being a part of the polis. I don't consider you. So the non Jewish communities were 92% of Palestine's population at that time. Vigorous Zionist immigration efforts having slightly expanded the percentage of Jews living in Palestine by then. Let's check out the, the footnote on that, that's from a book by McCarthy, Population of Palestine, page 26. The letter, while officially signed by British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour, had been in process for two years and had gone through a number of edits of British and American Zionist and British officials. So first of all, this letter is three paragraphs, if I remember correctly. I'm trying to picture it in my mind. I've looked at it a million times. Three paragraphs, two years of edits, and British and American Zionists and British officials had edited it. How important is this letter, I mean, literally, how important is this letter to a group of people that they're willing to send American boys, American men and some women who died going over there as nurses to die in the trenches of Europe. After October 7th, I had so many people contact me and go, you know, I stopped listening because you talked about this certain group of people and it's unseemly. If you want to understand our history, if you want to understand where we're at right now and you're not talking about them, you're just dishonest. Don't ever, ever, if you're listening to this, don't ever send me a video of. Look at Yuri Besmanov. Yuri Bezmanov told us what did Yuri Besmenov mention these people? No, I don't want to hear it. I do not want to hear it. You cannot talk about American history. You cannot talk about the history of the 20th century. You can't even talk about the history of the last 1200 years unless you understand, unless you've studied these people, European history, American history, you can't. I'm sorry, if you're leaving this, if you're leaving them out of the conversation, you're either hiding something or you're grossly ignorant. As Zionist leader Nahum Sokolow later wrote, every idea born in London was tested by the Zionist organization in America. And every suggestion in America received the most careful attention in London. That is from Jeffreys Palestine, the Reality, page 172. Sokolow writes that British Zionists were helped above all by American Zionists. Between London, New York and Washington, there was constant communication, either by telegraph or by personal visit. And as a result, there was perfect unity among the Zionists of both hemispheres. Personal visit. Do you understand how difficult travel was back then? Personal visit between Zionists in London, New York and Washington. Sokolow particularly praised, quote, the beneficent, the beneficent personal influence of the honorable Louis D. Brandeis. Just judge of the Supreme Court. We talked about Brandeis in the last episode and Frankfurter, there's only one word that infiltrator. Infiltrator, that's it. Infiltrator. He was not there to do. He was not there to help to interpret the law, you know, the constitution and the law of the land. He was there to help a diaspora people in the United States and in other countries take land. Take land from people who were already, who were already there. I don't care if the Ottoman. I don't care if the Ottoman Empire controlled it. I don't care if British, if it was British mandate, I don't give a fuck. There were people there and they said, oh, we're just going to go take it. And historically, who gives a fuck? That happened all the time. I mean it literally. I mean, this is the history of warfare. This is the history of we're going to take this land for ourselves. We're going to take that land for ourselves. But they, as chapters one and two show, formed a conspiracy in our country using our resources and sending our men off to die in order to get this land. If you want it, put an army together. I'm sure you have enough money to do it, arm yourselves, go there and take the land. That's what you ended up doing anyway. But you ended up getting us into two fucking world wars in order to do this. The final version of the declaration was actually written by Leopold Amory, a British official who, it came out later was a secret and fervent Zionist. Probably one of the people in Brandeis and Frankfurter's secret society. It appears that the idea for such a declaration had originally been promoted by Parisham founder Horace Callan. Shocking. Author Peter Gross reports, quote, the idea had come to the British from an unlikely source. In November 1915, long before the United States was involved in the war, the fertile brain of Horace Callan had come up with the idea of an Allied statement supporting in whatever veiled way was deemed necessary, Jewish national rights in Palestine. They had come up with the idea of an Allied statement supporting in whatever veiled way was deemed necessary, Jewish national rights in Palestine. What was the number from earlier? 92%. 8% were Jewish and they used us, basically infiltrated our system at the highest levels. Gross writes that Callan suggested the idea to a well connected British friend who would pass the idea along. According to Callan, such a statement would give a natural outlet for the spontaneous pro English, French and Italian sympathies of the Jewish masses. Callan told his friend that this would help break down America's neutrality, which Callan knew was the aim of British diplomacy. Desperate to bring the US into the war on its side, Gross writes, Callan's idea lit a spark of interest in Whitehall. Get American, get us this piece of dirt and we'll get American boys and men to go die. What did Stormy say in our episode? Basically, the graduating class of Yale gone. Gone. The best white men of a generation, gone. While the Balfour Declaration was a less than ringing endorsement of Zionism, Zionists considered it a major breakthrough because it cracked open a door that they would later force wider and w open. In fact, many credit this as a key factor in the creation of Israel. You gave them an inch. You gave them an inch. These Halfour World War I negotiations are referred to in various documents. Samuel Landman, Secretary of the World Zionist Organization, described them in detail in a 1936 article in World Jewry. When I use that word, just remember there was a magazine called world Jewry in 1936. He explained that a secret gentleman's agreement had been made in 1916 between the British government and Zionist leaders. After an. Under. Quoting. After an understanding had been arrived at between Sir Mark Sykes and Zionist Wiseman and Sokolow, it was resolved to send a secret message to Justice Brandeis that the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain Palestine in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support in the US for the Allied cause so as to bring about a radical pro ally tendency in the United States. In 1916 they contacted Zionists in England, contacted a Supreme Court justice in the United States secretly saying that the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain Palestine. They would basically give them Palestine or start advocating that it actually belonged to them. It belonged to the Jews in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support in the USA for the Allied cause so as to bring about a radical pro ally tendency in the United States and eventually get what, 177,000 British men killed. I need more coffee. Espresso, but coffee. Landman wrote that once the British had agreed to help the Zionists, this information was communicated to the press, which he reported rapidly began to favor the US joining the war on the side of Britain. Imagine that. I think she's. I think she has some good information here about the press in the United States, but that'll be later. Landman claimed that Zionists had fulfilled their side of the contract and that it was Jewish help that brought USA into the war on the side of the Allies, thus causing the defeat of Germany. I don't even know how to how to comment on that. He went on to state that this had rankled in Germany ever since and contributed in no small measure to the prominence which antisemitism occupies in the Nazi program. Wait, I'm sorry. I thought anti Leopinskr Zionist said anti Semitism was hereditary. I thought you're just. I thought anti Semitism was just being jealous of how successful Jews are. But Landman went on to state that this had rankled in Germany ever since and contributed in no small measure to the prominence which anti Semitism occupied in the Nazi program. Wow. Wow. I thought my understanding of the JQ was some kind of mental defect. I didn't know it possibly had anything to do with the fact that their actions caused. Their actions caused destruction. And I recognize that. Gee, I guess. I guess Mr. Landman just let me off the hook. Weird. Weird. British Colonial Secretary Lord Cavendish also wrote about this agreement and its result in a 1923 memorandum to the British Cabinet stating the object of the Balfour Declaration was to enlist the sympathies on the Allied side of influential Jews and Jewish organizations all over the world. And it is arguable that the negotiations with the Zionists did in fact have considerable effect in advancing the date to which the United States government intervened in the war. No shit, really? Former British Prime Minister Lloyd George similarly referred to the deal telling a British Commission in 1935, quote, Zionist leaders gave us a definite promise that if the Allies committed themselves to giving facilities for the establishment of a national home for the Jews in Palestine, they would do their best to rally Jewish sentiment and support throughout the world to the Allied cause. They kept their word. End quote. The only conclusion you can take from this is I think it would be you'd be pushing a little too far to say all but a big part of the reason why American white men went and died fighting European white men, their brothers, in the trenches in Europe was because Jewish Zionists wanted a homeland and they were willing to sacrifice our relatives to do it. Brandeis University professor and author Frank Emanuel reported that Lloyd George had testified in 1937 that stimulating the war effort of American Jews was one of the major motives during a harrowing period in the European war. Actuated members of the Cabinet in finally casting their votes for the declaration. American career foreign service officer Evan M. Wilson, who had served as Minister Consul General in Jerusalem, also described this arrangement in his book Decision on Palestine. He wrote that the Balfour Declaration, quote, was given to the Jews largely for the purpose of enlisting Jewish support in the war and of forestalling A similar promise by the Central Powers. Central Powers being the Allied powers enemies in World War I. The official biographer of Lloyd George, of Lloyd George, author Malcolm Thompson, stated that the determining factor in the decision to issue the Balfour Declaration was the scheme for engaging by some such concession the support of American Zionists for the Allied cause in the First World War, end quote. Similarly, Zionist historian Naomi Cohen calls the Balfour Declaration a quote, wartime measure and writes its immediate object was to capture Jewish sympathy, especially in the United States, for the Allies and to shore up England's strategic interests in the near east, end quote. The declaration was pushed, she writes, quote, by leading Zionists in England and by Brandeis who intervened with President Wilson, end quote. A Supreme Court justice, somebody who because of our civic religion is lifted up to priest status in this country, had secret societies, secret meetings and had a hidden agenda that was Zionist and it was to get a homeland by whatever means necessary. And he had the ear of President Wilson and could intervene with him obviously. 177,000 and which leads to World War II. 70 million. Finally, David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of England, wrote in 1939 to a certain extent, America had played a decisive role in the First World War and American Jewry had a considerable part, knowingly or not, in the achievement of the Balfour Declaration. This is something we talked about when I was reading Israel Shahak's Jewish history, Jewish religion, how the rabbis are these polytheistic sex magic lunatics who, even if the people who are sitting in their congregation, I don't know what they call it in a temple, Don't know what they're doing is the rabbis believe, they're harnessing the prayers that are going up of these Jews. Even if they don't understand that they're, they're praying to this polytheistic sex magic male female deity with the devil involved and all this stuff and the same thing right here. American Jewry had a considerable part, knowingly or not, in the achievement of the Balfour Declaration. Even if they didn't want it, even if they didn't care about, you know, even if they wanted to be in America and they didn't want a quote, unquote homeland. The influence of Brandeis and other Zionists in the US has enabled Zionists to form an alliance with Britain, one of the world's great powers. A remarkable achievement for a non state group. In a measure of Zionists by then immense power, as historian Kolsky states, the Zionist movement was now an important force in international politics. Something that Henry Ford understood and started writing about in his newspaper. And then he has the book the International Jew, which is a lot of those articles and writing was just gathered together. People saw this back then, they started talking about it and that's when they needed to be destroyed. American Zionists may also have played a role in preventing an early peace with the Ottoman Empire. In May 1917, American Secretary of State Robert Lansing received a report that the Ottomans were extremely weary of the war and that it might be possible to induce them to break with Germany and make a separate peace with Britain. Such a peace would have helped in Britain's effort to win the war. Victory was still far from ensured, but it would have prevented Britain from acquiring Palestine and enabling a Jewish state. So potential war piece had to be headed off in order that they get this shitty piece of land. The State Department considered a separate Ottoman peace a long shot, but decided to send an emissary to pursue the possibility. Felix Frankfurter became part of the delegation and ultimately persuaded the delegation's leader, former Ambassador Henry J. Morgenthau, to abandon the effort. This is what you call sabotage. This is what you call treason. This is treason. And if you know that, if you recognize the name Morgan Thau. Yeah, maybe we'll see if we get to that at all. It's treason. It's treason. This is the literal definition. U.S. state Department officials considered that Zionists had worked to scuttle this potentially peacemaking mission and were unhappy about it. Zionists often construed such displeasure at their actions as evidence of American diplomats anti Semitism. I hope you're getting it. If you haven't gotten it by now, I hope you're getting there. Because this, I hope, is as infuriating to you as it is to me. Because the more you learn, the more you realize. What would even be the point of reading this and looking at the history of it if it wasn't something that we were still dealing with today? Every one of the terror wars is for Israel, everyone. All right, be back in a couple days and we'll move on to chapter five. Paris Peace Conference, 1919. Zionist defeat calls for Self determination. See in a few days. Have a good weekend. Take care. Bye. Welcome back to part four of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment. What is the. The Hidden story of how the US Was Used to create Israel? Sorry, I don't. Not really good at memorizing the subtitles on books, but yeah, so last time we talked about the. Balfour Declaration and today there's probably going to be three chapters I'm going to run through and probably have to do a couple of explain away a couple things she's had the opinion on a couple historic points that have been pretty much debunked but some people can't let go of it. But, but still the information is good. So let's keep going here. All right, picking up where we left off last time. This is chapter five. Paris Peace Conference 1919 Zionist defeat calls for self determination after the war the victors met in a peace conference and agreed to a set of peace accords that addressed among many issues, the fate of the Ottoman Empire's Middle east territories. The Allies stripped the defeated empire of its Middle Eastern holdings and divided them between Britain and France which were to hold them under a mandate system until the populations were ready for self government. Britain got the mandate over Palestine, which if you listen to the last episode, you know why and the reason why ready for self government is in quotes here is because they're never going to. That wasn't going to happen. Zionists, including Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, World Zionist Organization officials and an American delegation went to the peace conference to lobby for a Jewish home in Palestine and to push for Balfour wording to be incorporated into the peace accords. The official U.S. delegation to the peace conference also contained a number of highly placed Zionists. If you go back to the parishioner, which is the secret society of Zionists that you know Brandeis and trying to remember, was it Callan? Yeah, I mean these are highly influential people, especially Brandeis being a sitting Supreme Court justice who have a secret society of people who have basically taken a pledge to Zionism that they above their family, above their country, that Zionists they would get this homeland. So distinguished American Christians posted in the Middle east who consistently supported Arab self determination went to Paris to oppose Zionists. Numerous prominent Christian leaders in the US including two of the most celebrated pastors of the day, Harry Emerson Fosdick and Henry Sloan Coffin, also opposed Zionism. However, as a pro Israel author notes they were simply outgunned by Zionists. The most influential American in the Middle east At the time, Dr. Howard Bliss, President of Beirut's Syrian Protestant College, later to become the American University of Beirut, traveled to Paris to urge forming a commission to determine what the people of the Middle east wanted for themselves. A suggestion that was embraced by the US diplomatic staff in Paris. I mean imagine that you self determination is kind of what this country was founded upon. And then yeah, in step this other group of people who self determination for them, not for anyone else, For everyone else. Princeton professor Philip Brown in CAIRO for the YMCA supplied requested reports to the U.S. state Department on what Zionism's impact would be on Palestine. He stated that it would be disastrous for both Arabs and Jews and went to Paris to lobby against it. William Westerman, director of the State Department's Western Asian Division which covered the region similar similarly opposed the Zionist position. He wrote that it impinges upon the rights and desires of most of the Arab population of Palestine. Once again keep bringing it up. Land without a people for a people without a land. But there were people there. Obviously this is a topic of conversation how anybody believes that is just. It really goes to show you that 1 people are just out and out liars and 2 people just don't know history because people are out and out liars. Westerman and other U.S. diplomats felt that the Arab position was much more in line with Wilson's principles of self determination. In certain circulated Arab material President Wilson decided to send the Commission to Palestine to investigate the situation in person. After spending two months in the area interviewing all sections of the population, the Commission, known as the King Crane Commission recommended against the Zionist position of unlimited immigration of Jews to make Palestine a distinctly Jewish state. So that is exactly their they're saying it. What is the point of going there to make it a distinctly Jewish state. This is quoted from a book by Sammy Hadawi, Bitter Harvest Palestine between 1914 and 1979 book written in 1979 I think bitter Harvest was also the book written about Ian Smith and Rhodesia if I'm not mistaken. The Commissioner stated that the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine could be accomplished only with the gravest trespass upon the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine. Pointing out that to subject the Palestinians to steady financial and social pressure to surrender the land would be a gross violation of the principle of self determination and of the people's rights. But when it comes, who cares? They want what they want. They went on to point out that the well being and development of the people in the region formed a sacred trust that the people should become completely free and that the national governments should derive their authority from the initiative and free choice of the native populations. The report stated that meetings with Jewish representatives made it clear that the Zionists looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the the present non Jewish inhabitants of Palestine concluded that armed force would be required to accomplish this and urged the peace conference to dismiss the Zionist proposals. The Commission recommended that the project for making Palestine distinctly a Jewish Commonwealth should be given up. They knew what was going to happen. You don't go there. You don't make plans to go there with guns and to force. I mean, unless there are people there in the first place. I mean, I'm going to make this argument over and over again because I'm land without a people for a people without a land. You don't know how much it offends me that like that kind of just so easily debunked propaganda is, you know, and it's like, oh well, the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire controlled it, then Britain. So what? So I don't care. Zionist through Brandeis dominated the situation, however, and the report was suppressed until after the peace accords were enacted. As a pro Israel historian noted quote, with the burial of the King Crane report, a major obstacle in the Zionist path disappeared. The US delegation was forced to follow Zionist directives. Let's see who we have here. That is from, that's from Arofsky's book cited in Mulholl America. Yeah, all right. I already mentioned that book. Ultimately, the mandate over Palestine given to Britain supported the Zionist project and included the Balfour language. According to the mandate, Britain would be responsible for putting into effect the Balfour Declaration in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. It being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine. So basically an invading army is getting ready to go in and people expect that possibly the people who are already there, they're just going to lie down and take it. They're not Americans. Chapter 6. Forging an Ingathering of all Jews. The idea behind Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape antisemitism. Where is that from? That is from Theodore Herzl, the Jewish State, Dover Publications. Yeah. So the father, basically the father of political Zionism, that's who they're quoting there is to escape antisemitism. Of course the question always doesn't always come up because you're not allowed to ask it, but I will. What's the main cause of antisemitism? If you followed my work, then you know that I've quoted over and over again Jewish philosophers who say Pinsker says that antisemitism is hereditary. Most commonly you'll hear people are jealous of their success. Yeah, things like that. But you're not allowed, you know, when you ask those questions, when you ask that question, what's the main cause of. What's been the main cause of anti Semitism for the last 1200 years? In Europe. How do countries who didn't even exist parallel have the same issue with the same people a thousand years apart? It's an injury. Pinsker is saying if you're completely dishonest or you're completely brainwashed. Pinsker could actually believe that, that it was hereditary. Combined with this was the belief that all Jews would and should come to the Jewish state in a massive ingathering of exiles. However, when it turned out that not enough Jews were coming of their own volition, a variety of methods were used to increase the immigration. People didn't want to go. I mean, a lot of these people have been living in countries like Germany for a couple centuries. You had people who had escaped the shtetls of Russia and got an education and gone. I mean, of course, I mean these are liberals and we've seen in the 200 Years Together series exactly what they believe. But of course they're not going to want to go to some place where they don't even feel like they have a tie to to. So let me go back to the first sentence because I completely missed this and I know some of you are probably screaming at me. The idea behind Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti Semitism. What about the people who say that God gave them that land forever? If the father of political Zionism, Theodore Herzl, says that Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti Semitism, what does the Bible have to do with that? Zionist leader David Ben Gurion once told the gathering of Jewish Americans, quote, zionism consists of bringing all Jews to Israel. We appeal to the parents to help us bring their children here. Even if they decline to help. We will bring the youth to Israel. But I hope that this will not be necessary. Basically, Ben Gurion, I think the airport is named after him there. The main airport, almost positive, said we're going to force people, we're going to force Jews to do it. There are various documented cases in which fanatical Zionists exploited, exaggerated, invented and even perpetrated anti Semitic incidents both to procure support and to drive Jews to immigrate to the Zionist designated homeland. A few examples are discussed below. I just re released my reading of I can't remember what his name is but crying wolf hate crime hoaxes in America. There's a big big. I think the biggest section was about this certain group. Brandeis, new heading Brandeis and Frankfurter versus US Diplomat. One such case involved a young diplomat named Hugh Gibson, who in 1919 was nominated to be U.S. ambassador to Poland. After he arrived in Poland, Gibson, who was highly regarded and considered particularly brilliant, began to report that there were far fewer antisemitic incidents than Americans were led to believe. He wrote his mother, these yarns are exclusively of foreign manufacture for anti Polish purposes. So what's he saying here? They're spinning a yarn. These things are made up. There may be one or two here, but it's the exception that proves the rule that it's not happening here and it's exclusively of foreign manufacture. All right. His dispatches came to the attention of Brandeis and his protege and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who demanded a meeting with Gibson. Gibson later wrote of their accusations. This is a quote. I'm going to quote a whole section for you. For those of you who are just listening. Gibson speaking. I had, Brandeis and Frankfurter claimed, done more mischief to the Jewish race than anyone who had lived in the last century. I mean, that's a long list if you listen to Zionists and Jews. Nicholas ii, Alexander iii. Really? Wow. They said that my reports on the Jewish question had gone around the world and had undone their work. They finally said that I had stated that I had stated that the stories of excesses against the Jews were exaggerated. To which I replied that they certainly were and I should think any Jew would be glad to know it. I'm not going to get into this is an argument that any. Just let me read that again. To which I replied that they certainly were and I should think any Jew would be glad to know that by. Basically what he's saying is I would think you'd be really happy to know that I'm reporting that it's a false report that Jews are being persecuted in Poland. I've made this argument before about certain things I'm not going to bring up here, but it doesn't matter. They need you to believe that they are being persecuted still to today. They need you to believe that October 7 happened in a vacuum, that nothing led up to October 7. Frankfurter hinted that if Gibson continued these reports, Zionist would block his confirmation by the Senate. It freak. I mean, it's only recently, right. That we've had corruption in this country. Huh? Not that a hundred years ago somebody went to Poland, spoke the truth about what he discovered and then when he came back, somebody, somebody, a very powerful person, hinted that if you don't trash these reports, you're not going to get the job. I thought they were all about who was the most successful and who was the most qualified. Gibson was outraged and sent a 21 page letter to the State Department. In it he shared his suspicions that this was part of a conscienceless and blood and cold blooded plan to make the condition of the Jews in Poland so bad that they must turn to zionism for relief. Mr. Gibson, Hero speaking the truth. Zionists and the Nazis new heading. I've heard her opinion about this and I will. Carl Raddle. Not Carl Dahl who's on my show all the time, but Carl Raddle. Radl has a. Has a substack. He's on Twitter. There may be some things in here I'll have to point you to him to Deep Bolt. Perhaps the most extreme case of Zionist exploitation of antisemitism to further their cause came during the rise of Adolf Hitler. Zionist leaders had a mixed response to Hitler and the rise of the Nazis. Israeli historian Tom Segev writes, everyone wondered how the persecution of the Jews in Germany would affect life in Palestine. They wondered how the persecution of the Jews would affect life in Palestine, not that they would try to get them out of there and protect them. It almost seems like this is the kind of attitude where you're like, well if it happens to them it's good for our cause. If something happens to them, it's good for our cause maybe. While papers predicted loss and ruin beyond repair and described a dance of death in Berlin, they expected that the hour of trouble and anguish would open unprecedented historical opportunities, specifically increased immigration to Palestine. Ben Gurion hoped the Nazis victory would become a fertile force for Zionism. Let's check the. That quote that he's attributing to or that sentiment that he's attributing to Ben Gurion is from Tom Segev, The Seventh Million, the Israelis and the Holocaust, 1993, page 19. Historians have documented the Zionist sabotage efforts to find safe havens for Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in order to convince the world that Jews could only be safe in a Jewish state. That is this. Here's. I'll read the footnote on this. This was well known in the State Department. For example, State Department near east expert Harry N. Howard states, quoting, there was discussion of liberalizing American immigration laws in this period. The Zionists opposed that liberalization on the ground that this would not be a solution. As far as they were concerned. They wanted a political, not necessarily a humanitarian solution. That is, they wanted a state. More. Let's see, here's another one. The Zionist movement knows that Palestine is and will be for some time a remittance society. They know that they can raise vast sums for Palestine by saying to donors, there is no other place this poor Jew can go. That's from Lilienthal. What price Israel? Page 27. So basically, they want the world to believe that even if they aren't being persecuted, they're being persecuted. You think that affects the opinions that most people have today on how they were treated, even in Germany? Let's see. Okay. When FDR made efforts in 1938 and 1943 and the British in 1947 to provide havens for refugees from the Nazis, Zionists opposed these projects because they did not include Palestine. So leave them there. Leave them there because we want it to get so bad. We don't care. We don't really care about these people. They want the only choice to be Palestine. Don't take them to America. Don't take them to, you know, any. Don't take them safe. Someplace safe. Leave them there. Morris Ernst, FDR's international envoy for refugees, wrote in his memoir that when he worked to help find refuge for those fleeing Hitler, quote, active Jewish leaders decried sneer and then attacked me as if I were a traitor. At one dinner party, I was openly accused of furthering this plan of freer immigration into the US in order to undermine political Zionism. Zionist friends of mine opposed it. So there is a real threat on the lives of a Jewish population. Someone wants to do something about it and get them out, bring them into the usa, and even his friends attack him. Ernst wrote that he found the same fanatical reaction among all the Jewish groups he approached, whose leaders, he found, were little concerned about human blood if it is not their own. FDR finally gave up, telling Ernst, we can't put it over because the dominant vocal Jewish leadership of America, America, won't stand for it. We can't put it over because the dominant vocal Jewish leaders, they won't stand for them being rescued and brought anywhere, allegedly probably other than Palestine. But as we'll find out later, even somebody who worked to free and get Jews taken out of a couple of the camps, we'll see how the Zionists treated him and what they did to him. For. For his good works. Journalist Erskine B. Childers, son of the former Irish prime minister, wrote in The Spectator in 1960, quote, one of the most massively important features of the entire Palestine struggle was that Zionism delivered deliberately arranged that the plight of the wretched survivors of Hitlerism should be a moral argument which the west had to accept. So even though there was a plan, there were many plans to get them out of the way, get them out of Germany or get them out of, get them out of the Eastern Front, wherever this was, wherever they could get them out, which they didn't want, unless it was to Palestine, which really wasn't in the cards at that time. So it would have had to have been to a third country after the war. They were the west and the leader. We were to blame for that. We were to blame because anyone who perished during the war, it was on our hands, even though our people tried to get them out. He explained that this, that this was done by seeing to it that Western countries did not open their doors widely and immediately to the inmate of the displaced persons camps, the DP camps. Childers, author of several books on conflict resolution and peacekeeping, who later became Secretary General of the World Federation of the United Nations Associations, commented, quoting, it is incredible that so grave and grim a campaign has received so little attention in accounts of the Palestine struggle. It was a campaign that literally shaped all subsequent history. It was done by sabotaging specific Western schemes to Admit Jews, Jewish DPs. There were even a certain amount of collusion between Zionist and Nazi leaders. Okay, this is where. I don't know what she's going to say because I haven't read, I haven't read heads of this part, but I have read her opinions on the, on this. There are people who want to make it like, like Zionists and Nazis were working together like side by side on this. Most of that happened even actually before Hitler came to power. Like I said, Karl Rattle substack. He has new. I mean it's footnoted everywhere and it's mostly for. I think pretty much every footnote he has is from shitlibs who've written books. So this is all with a grain of salt. There was even a certain amount of collusion between Zionists and Nazi leaders when disturbing facts emerged in the 1950s about this. These caused considerable scandal in Israel and led to the fall of the Israeli government of the time. A number of books are dedicated to this subject and is discussed in numerous others. In some cases there were accusations that Zionist collaboration with Nazis had saved people with connections at the expense of those with none. That's always going to happen no matter what. So I mean, that's just history. I mean, I'm sorry. The topic inspired novels by well known Israeli writers Amos Elon and Neil Gordon, was a subject of a 1987 British play and was portrayed in a 1994 Israeli docudrama. Some Zionist leaders worked out what became known as the transfer agreement, a 1933 pact with the Nazis in which Jews who wish to go to Palestine could transfer their capital to Palestine. As part of the agreement, these Zionists agreed to reject a boycott that had been implemented against Germany. That much of that is true, except the transfer agreement started earlier than 1933 and it pretty much dissolved, I think, by 1934 and 1935. And not much became of it. Not many moved move there. So I have the book over there. I can't remember the name of it. I think it was Zionism and Anti Semitism in Nazi Germany. Israeli author Tom Segev explains that the agreement was based on the complementary interests of the German government and the Zionist movement. The Nazis wanted the Jews out of Germany. The Zionists wanted them to come to Palestine. For a time, the Nazis worked with these Zionist leaders to promote Jewish immigration to Palestine. A series in a Berlin paper published by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels was entitled A Nazi Visits Palestine and depicted glowing photographs of Jewish immigrants in Palestine. Goebbels created a medal with a swastika on one side. And. Yeah, that's actually, if you ever see that metal, that is a. Has a. A Star of David on one side and a swastik on the other. And people are like, oh, look, look at, look how closely they were working together. They even had. No, no, Goebbels had those made as a, like, promotion for, for his newspaper, you know. Yeah, I mean, that's. It was. It was basically like, have you ever been to a baseball game and they get you there on bat day because they give away bats to everyone or cap day or something like that. Yeah, it was just a way of getting people to buy the paper, basically. Nazi official Adolf Eichmann, later famous for his public trial in Israel, learned some Hebrew and Yiddish. Actually, he spoke it very fluently and briefly visited Palestine in 1937. He met with Zionist leaders on a number of occasions, including meeting with Ben Gurion chief assistant and future Mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kullak. I say he spoke it fluently. I'd have to check on that again, but I know that they definitely quieted him and kept him in a cage during his trial because they didn't want him to. They only wanted to hear him speak. They only wanted the crowd to hear him speak. When they wanted him to hear. Hear him speak, they were scared he was going to start speaking in Hebrew and that might cause people to change their mind or be like, wait a minute, what's going on here? He met with Zionist leaders on a number of occasions, including Meeting with Ben Gurion chief assistant and future Mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kolek. Eichmann's autobiography was never published and reportedly remains sealed somewhere in Israeli archives. I would love to get my hands on that thing. As already referred to earlier, Zionist leader Samuel Landman in 1936 used a particularly ironic strategy to push for Britain's help in opening up Palestine to the growing number of Jewish refugees from Germany. According to Landman, Zionist actions were responsible for the U.S. entry into World War I on the side of Britain covered that last episode. U.S. involvement then enabled the Allies to defeat Germany. The knowledge of this Zionist connection, Landman said, was a cause of the growing anti Semitism in Germany. Remember I said that last time, everybody's like, oh, the Germans just woke up one day and hated Jews. No, this is a. This is somebody who was there who saw all of this, who saw how the US got into World War I. American white boys died basically so that Zionists could get the Balfour Declaration. They could have a mandate towards going back there. And people in Germany knew this. And that, he said, was a cause of the growing anti Semitism in Germany. That would be a huge one because I think most experts agree that if the United States didn't get in the war, didn't join in the war, Germany would have won. But then they suffered everything that they suffered. If you. Again, another book that I've read on my show, Blockade Diary of a Middle Class Austrian Woman by Anna Eisenmenger, explains what they did to the people, how they tried to kill them and starve them to death. And. Yeah. Therefore, Landsman argued there was a greater need than ever for the Jewish state in Palestine that the British had allegedly promised in return for Jewish help in winning the war. What's the. Let me go to that. Let me see. 132, 132. That is from Landman, Great Britain, the Jews and Palestine. Landman's booklet. This is. I'm reading the footnotes here. Landeman's booklet also contained a veiled threat that without such a state, these increasingly desperate Jewish masses might attempt to pull down the pillars of civilization by becoming Communists. They already did that in Russia. I mean, they're responsible for the 1905 Revolution and 1917. Interestingly, Theodore Herzl in his 1896 book, who also written of a Jewish connection to communism, quoting, when we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties. Historian Norman F. Kantor, in his book The Jewish Experience, 1996, page 364, reports that the Jews played a disproportionately important role in Soviet and world communism. According to Dr. Cantor quoting the Bolshevik revolution and some of its aftermath represented from one perspective Jewish revenge. Saying that on 200 years together the whole time. Let's take a sip of water. Alrighty, moving on. This one's a little longer than previous ones, but let's finish this up. Zionists fate hate hate attacks on Iraqi Jews. That's a mouthful. While Zionists wish for a massive in gathering of the Jews in one state, most Iraqi Jews wanted nothing to do with it. According to Iraq then chief rabbi who stated quote Iraqi Jews will be forever against Zionism. Huh. They really hate Iraq. Don't they wonder why Jews and Arabs have enjoyed. This is quoting. Jews and Arabs have enjoyed the same privileges, same rights and privileges for a thousand years and do not regard themselves as a distinctive separate part of the nation. The rabbi declared. That's Lilienthal. What price Israel Again, page 151. Lilienthal goes on to report despite these warnings, Zionist agents effectively produce trouble in Iraq. Rabbi Sassoon himself was badly beaten by co religionists. I'm going to read that again. Jews and Arabs have enjoyed the same rights and privileges for a thousand years and do not regard themselves as a distinctively separate part of this nation, the rabbi declared, talking about Iraq. Zionists worked to change that by covertly attacking Iraqi Jews so as to induce them to flee to Israel. Zionists planted bombs in Iraqi synagogues and in the U.S. information Service Library in Iraq, quote in attempts to portray the Iraqis as an anti American, as anti American and to terrorize the Jews, according to author and former CIA operative Wilbur Crane eviland134 Wilbur Evelyn Ropes of Sand America's Failure in the Middle East, 1980, page 48 quoting. Soon leaflets began to appear urging Jews to flee to Israel, writes Eveland. And most of the world believed reports that Arab terrorism had motivated the flight of the Iraqi Jews from the Zionists whom the Zionists had rescued. Really just in order to increase Israel's Jewish population, Zionists Jews went to Iraq, planted bombs in Israeli synagogues, in Iraqi synagogues. It's their own people, right? And in the U. And in a US library that's Americans, right? Similarly, Naim Galadi, a Jewish Iraqi author who later lived in Israel and the US describes the the program from the inside quote. I write about what the first prime minister of Israel called cruel Zionism. I write about it because I was part of it. Galati states that the Jews from Islam the quoting Israti Gi states that, quote, Jews from Islamic lands did not emigrate willingly to Israel in order, end quote, in order, quote, to force them to leave. Galati writes, jews killed Jews. He goes on to say that in an effort, quote, to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands, Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their Arab neighbors. He states, genuine peace initiatives. But I mean, these are just murderous Muslims, right? I mean, they were. I mean, how are they. How could they live side by side with Muslims? How could Jews live side by side with Muslims for a thousand years in Iraq? And then when they say, oh, we want you to come to Israel, they're like, no, go away. Screw you. This is our home. It's been our home for a thousand years. And then they plant bombs and kill them and plant bombs in America in an American library. And I get criticized for. Yeah, yeah, all right, that's it. Next chapter will be chapter seven, the Modern Israel Lobby is Born. Hope you're getting a lot out of this. I'm sure a lot of you people who know a lot of things are learning a lot, too, so. Know a lot about this. You know, the history of this are learning a lot, too. So, yeah, wouldn't be talking about this if we still weren't dealing with it and if it weren't probably the most dangerous thing that we're dealing with at this point. All right, back in a couple days. Take care. Bye. Welcome back to part five of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment, the Hidden History of How the US Was Used to Create Israel by Alison Weir. I'm going to jump right into chapter seven. Let's get going. I think we can now have two chapters today, unless I start getting ranty, which I might. Chapter seven, the modern Israel lobby is born. In the 1920s and 1930s, American Zionists retreated somewhat from overtly pushing for a Jewish state in Palestine. Instead, many focused on creating Jewish institutions in Palestine, reports historian Naomi Cohen, who calls this approach Palestinianism. Funny that they're calling it Palestine since they, you know, nowadays the revisionists will tell you there's no such thing as Palestine. Palestine. There's no such thing. Why are you using that word? There's no such thing. But they even had a term called Palestinianism. Cohen attributes this switch to American antisemitism in the 1920s and the Great Depression in the 1930s. But Americans revulsion against militant nationalisms, particularly strong after World War I, must certainly have been an important factor. Cohen writes that this retreat from overt Zionism permitted the Spread of a quiet Zionism in synagogues and Jewish schools. All quoting. Meanwhile, by not publicly declaring the end goal of a Jewish state state Zionists could avoid the appearance of disloyalty or dual allegiance. So they are being subversive. They are not publicly declaring the end goal of a Jewish state, but that is their goal. Why are they not doing it publicly? To avoid the appearance of being disloyal or dual appearance of disloyalty or dual allegiance which they have. Their loyalty is to creating their own state. And I've abandoned the term dual allegiance because there's only one. This better fit the temper of the times. Following a war allegedly fought for democracy, a number of both Jewish and non Jewish writers opposed the non democratic agenda of creating a Jewish state on land whose population was overwhelmingly non Jewish. Amazing that they just, they so admitted back then that there were people there. Now they say there weren't. As a Jewish writer pointed out in a Zionist journal quoting Forcing foreign rule upon the majority of the population so that a minority may achieve political, economic and cultural privileges does not accord with the conscience of people bred in America and Western Europe to the principles of, of free self government. So even a Zionist journal and a Jewish writer realizes that going there and displacing people and basically going there to rule them, which is what they knew they were going to do, says it right here. Forcing foreign rule upon a majority population was against American and Western values. Yet Americans will bend over backwards and maybe and sometimes literally bend over for these people. On the other hand, creating Jewish institutions in Palestine such as the Hebrew University in Jerusalem seemed to non Zionists like altruism rather than the vanguard of a colonial movement. You see where this is going, right? As Cohen explains, to outsiders, non Jewish Americans it was basically a philanthropy. And Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists. So it was a trick. They made it look like, oh, we're opening up a university and you know, we'll allow these people to come in and we'll educate them and you know, she doesn't go into exactly here. Were they going to be deeply discounted? Would they go for free? Or you know, mostly that they were going to be completely excluded to a certain extent. Where does it say that? As Cohen explains, to outsiders, non Jewish Americans it was basically a philanthropy. And Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists, their pists. Zionist leaders felt that the US was critically important to their goal. Ben Gurion, who had visited the United States almost every year after his election to the Jewish to the Zionist executive, wrote in 1939 that he was Convinced that the main arena for Zionist efforts outside Palestine should be America, stating that they had, quote, no more effective tool at our disposal than the American Jewish community and Zionist Zionist movement. Zionist Moshe Shirtak, a future Israeli foreign minister, stated, during World War II, quote, America will have a decisive influence at the end of the war. And the question of our strength in America is a very real and important one. Strength in America. A question of our strength in America. Shirtzhoff went on to state, quote, there are millions of active and well organized Jews in America, and their position in life enables them to be most dynamic and influential. They live in the nerve centers of the country and hold important positions in politics, trade, journalism, the theater and the radio. They could influence public opinion, but their strength is not felt since it is not harnessed and directed at the right. Right target. Politics, trade, journalism, the theater and the radio. But if I say that a Zionist leader decried what he considered a problem with American Jews at this time, quote, the American Jew thinks of himself first and foremost as an American citizen. This is a fact, whether we like it or not. He concluded, quote, loyalty to America is now the supreme watchword. They didn't like that there were people here who are loyal to America, Jews who are loyal to America. Zionists were determined to harness this untapped power, and soon the Zionist movement began to come into its own, the immediate precursor to today's pro Israel lobby. In 1939, under the leadership of Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, originally from Lithuania, he created the American Zionist Emergency council, which by 1943 had acquired a budget of half a million dollars at a time when a nickel bought a loaf of bread. In addition to this money, Zionist had become influential in creating a fundraising umbrella organization, the United Jewish appeal, in 1939, giving them access to the organization's gargantuan financial resources. 14 million in 1941, 150 million by 1948. This was four times more than the Americans contributed to the Red Cross and was the equivalent of approximately $1.5 billion. Today, with its extraordinary funding, AZEC embarked on a campaign to target every sector of American society, ordering that local committees be set up in every Jewish community in the nation. In the words of AZEC organizer Cy Kennan, it launched a political and public relations offensive to capture the support of congressmen, clergy, editors, professors, business and labor. But it's a conspiracy theory, right? I mean, they. To say they did that is a conspiracy theory. You can't prove it, right? I mean, they admit it, but Azek instructed activists to, quote, make direct Contact with your local congressman or senator or to go after union members, wives and parents of servicemen and Jewish war veterans. AZAC provided activists with form letters to use and schedules of anti Zionist lecture tours to oppose and disrupt. So not only were they doing positive work, they were doing negative work. Positive in that they were promoting their own message and negative in that they went to disrupt people who were speaking out against them. A measure of its power came in 1945 when Silver disliked a British move that would be harmful to Zionists. Azak booked Madison Square Garden, ordered advertisements and mailed 250,000 announcements the first day. By the second day, they had organized demonstrations in 30 cities, a letter writing campaign and convinced 27 US senators to give speeches. This is in 1945. They were able to organize in two days demonstrations in 30 cities, letter writing campaigns and convince us, convince 27 US senators to give speeches. When you consider today how easy travel is, they just pick up a phone, you wire people. How hard is it to understand how you can have 50 cities across the country having. Anti immigration or anti, anti remigration protests? Let's put it that way, when back then in two days they could organize in 30 cities and get 27 U.S. senators to give speeches. 1945. Grassroots Zionist Action Groups were organized with more than 400 local committees under 76 state and regional branches. AZAC funded books, articles and academic studies. Millions of pamphlets were distributed. There were massive petition and letter writing campaigns. AZAK targeted college presidents and deans, managing to get more than 150 to sign one petition, 150 presidents, college presidents and deans to sign one. Rabbi Elmer Berger, executive director of the American Council for Judaism, which opposed zionism in the 1940s and 50s, writes in his memoirs that there was a, quote, ubiquitous propaganda campaign reaching just about every point of political leverage in the country, end quote. The Zionist Organization of America bragged that the immensity of our operations and their diversity in its 48th annual report stating we reach into every department of American life. Berger and other anti Zionist Jewish Americans tried to organize against, quoting the deception and cynicism with which Zionist the Zionist machine operated, but failed to obtain anywhere near their level of funding. Among other things would be dissenters were afraid of, quote, the savagery of personal attacks anti Zionists endured back then. If you're an anti Zionist, which it seems like from what I'm reading here, they were Jews, they were anti Zionist. You underwent savage personal attacks, which doesn't seem like it would be very hard if you can get 27 senators to give speeches in your for your cause. Seems like you could possibly get anything done to these people. Berger writes that when he and a colleague opposed Zionist resolution in Congress, Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who was to serve in Congress for almost 50 years, told them they ought to. They ought to take you bitches out and shoot you. I think it's bitches. It's removed here. So Emanuel Seller, you ever heard of the Hart Celler act which basically opened the floodgates for immigration in this country? Yep. When it was unclear that President Harry Truman would support Zionism, Seller and a committee of Zionists told him that they had persuaded Dewey to support the Zionist policy and demanded that Truman also take this stand. Seller reportedly pounded on Truman's table and said that if Truman did not do so will run you out of town. Seller reportedly pounded on Truman's table, that's the President of the United States and said if he didn't do so, he'd run him out of town. Jacob Javits, another well known Senator, this time Republican, told the Zionist woman's group group will fight to death and make a Jewish state in Palestine if it's the last thing we do. Richard Stevens, author of American Zionism and U.S. foreign Policy 1942-1947, reports that Zionists infiltrated the boards of several Jewish schools that they felt didn't sufficiently promote the Zionist cause. When this didn't work, Stevens writes, they would start their own pro Zionist schools. Stevens writes that in 1943-44 the ZOA distributed over a million leaflets and pamphlets to public libraries, chaplains, community centers, educators, ministers, writers and others who might further the Zionist cause. Alfred Lilienthal, who had worked in the State Department, served in the US army in the Middle east from 1943 to 1945 and became a member of the anti Zionist American Council for Judaism, reports that Zionist monthly sales of books totaled between 3 to 4,000 throughout 1944 to 1945. Richard Stevens reports that Zionists subsidized books by non Jewish authors that supported the Zionist agenda. They would then promote these books jointly with commercial publishers. Several of them became best sellers. So if you wonder why Hillary Clinton gets to write a book and Barack Obama gets to write a book and Mitt Romney gets to write a book which you know no one is reading and buying. This is why it's subsidized. New heading Zionist manufacturer Christian support Azek founder Silver and other Zionists played a significant role in creating Christian support for Zionism, a project. Brandeis encouraged secret Zionist funds, eventually reaching $150,000 in 1946 were used to revive an elitist Protestant group, the American Palestine Committee. This group had originally been founded in 1932 by Emanuel Newman, a member of the executive of the Zionist Organization. The objective was to organize a group of prominent, mainly non Jewish Americans in moral and political support of Zionism. Frankfurter was one of the main speakers. At its launch, Silver's headquarters issued a directive saying, quote, in every community, an American Christian Palestine Committee must be immediately organized. Author Peter Gross reports that the Christian Committee's operations were hardly autonomous. This is all quoting Zionist headquarters thought nothing of placing newspaper advertisements on the clergyman's behalf without bothering to consult them in advance until one of the committee leaders meekly asked at least for prior notice before public statements were given were made in their name. Imagine you just wake up one day and you're promoting something in the newspaper and you have no idea why. You have no idea how. ASAAC formed another group among clergymen, the Christian Council on Palestine. An internal AZAAC memo stated that the aim of both groups was to crystallize the sympathy of Christian America for our cause. By the end of World War II, the Christian Council on Palestine had grown to 3,000 members and the American Palestine Committee boasted a membership of 6,500 public figures, including senators, congressmen, cabinet members, governors, state officers, mayors, jurists, clergymen, educators, writers, publishers, and civic and industrial leaders. Bought and sold, bought and sold in the 1940s. And you wonder why things are the way they are today. Historian Richard Stevens explains that Christian support was largely gained by exploiting their wish to help people in need. Stevens writes that Zionists would proclaim the tragic plight of refugees fleeing from persecution and finding no home, thus linking the refugee problem with Palestine as allegedly the only solution. Some manipulation. Stevens writes that the reason for this strategy was clear. While many Americans might not support the creation of a Jewish state, traditional American humanitarianism could be exploited in favor of the Zionist cause through the refugee problems. Few, if any of these Christian supporters had any idea that the creation of the Jewish state would entail a massive expulsion of hundreds of thousands of non Jews Jews who made up the large majority of Palestine's population, creating a new and much longer lasting refugee problem. Nor did they learn that during and after Israel's founding 1947-1949, war Zionist forces attacked a number of Christian sites. Donald Neff, former Time Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief and author of five books on Israel Palestine, reports in detail on Zionist attacks on Christian Christian sites in May 1948, the month of Israel's birth. Neff tells us that a group of Christian leaders complained that month that Zionists had killed and wounded hundreds of people, including children, refugees and clergy at Christian churches and humanitarian institutions. For example, the group changed a charge that, quote, many children were killed or wounded by Jewish shells on the convent of Orthodox Copts Coptics. Eight refugees were killed and about 120 wounded at the Orthodox Armenian convent and that Father Pierre Somi, secretary to the bishop, had been killed and two wounded at the Orthodox Syrian Church of St. Mark. The group's statement said Arab forces had abided by their promise to respect Christian institutions, but that the Jews had forcefully occupied Christian structures and been indiscriminate in shelling churches, reports Neff. He quotes a Catholic priest jewish soldiers broke down the doors of my church and robbed my precious and sacred objects. Then they threw the statues of Christ down into a nearby garden. The priest added that Jewish leaders had reassured had reassured that religious buildings would be respected, but their deeds do not correspond to their words, do they ever? After Zionist soldiers invaded and looted a convent in Tiberius, the US Consulate set a bitter dispatch back to State Department complaining of the Jewish attitude in Jerusalem toward Christian institutions. An American Christian biblical scholar concurred, reporting that a friend in Jerusalem had told it had been told, quote, when we control, you take your dead Christ and go home. When we get control, you take your dead Christ and go home. Quoting let's see where that's from. 171 Miller Burrows, Palestine is our business, 1949. Oh, they go all the way back. So yeah, that's within the time this is happening. Within a year, Within a couple years. I like those close references. Chapter 8 Zionist colonization efforts in Palestine as early Zionists in the US and elsewhere pushed for the creation of a Jewish state, Zionists in Palestine simultaneously tried to clear the land of Muslim and Christian inhabitants and replace them with Jewish immigrants. This was a tall order. As Muslims and Christians accounted for more than 95% of the population of Palestine. Zionists planned to try first to buy up the land until the previous inhabitants had emigrated. Failing this, they would use violence to force them out. This dual strategy was discussed in various written documents cited by numerous Palestinian and Israeli historians. As the colonial project grew, the indigenous Palestinians reacted with occasional bouts of violence. Zionists had anticipated this, since people usually resist being expelled from their land. You don't say. When the buyout effort was able to obtain only a few percent of the land, Zionists created a number of terrorist groups to fight against both the Palestinians and the British terrorist and future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin later bragged that Zionists had brought terrorism both to the Middle east and to the world at large. Doesn't that really go up against the narrative, you know, now that terrorism is distinctly Muslim? But no, let's see. 174 Russell, Warren Howe fighting the Soldiers of Occupation From World War II to the intifada in Seeing the Light Personal Encounters with the Middle east and Islam, Ed. Richard H. Curtis and Janet McMahon. Warren and his film crew were filming an interview with menachem begin in 1974. The red light had come on under the lens. Without preamble, I turned my shoulder to the camera, stared straight into Begin's eyes, and asked, how does it feel in the light of all that is going on to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East? In the Middle East. He bellowed in his thick cartoon accent. In all the world, Huh? Yeah, let's see, where was I? All right. By the eve of the creation of Israel, the Zionist Immigration and Buyout project had increased the Jewish population of Palestine to 30% and land ownership from 1% to approximately 6 to 7%. This was in 1947, when the British at last announced that they would end their control of Palestine. Britain turned the territory's fate over to the United Nations. Since a founding principle of the UN was self determination of peoples, one would have expected to the UN to support fair democratic elections in which inhabitants could create their own independent country. Instead, Zionists pushed for a General assembly resolution to give them a disproportionate 55% of Palestine. While they rarely announced this publicly, their plan, stated in journal entries and letters, was to later take the rest of Palestine. New Heading US Officials Oppose Creation of Israel the US State Department opposed the partition plan, strenuously considering Zionism contrary to both fundamental American principles and U.S. interests. For example, the director of the State Department's Office of Near Eastern and African affairs consistently recommended against supporting a Jewish state in power, Palestine. The director, named Lloyd Henderson, warned that the creation of such a state would go against locals wishes, imperil U.S. interests, and violate democratic principles. Henderson emphasized that the U.S. would lose moral standing in the world if it supported Zionism at the present time, the United States has a moral prestige in the near and Middle east unequaled by that of any great other great power. We would lose that prestige and would be likely for many years to be considered as a betrayer of the high principles which we ourselves have enunciated during the periods of the Second World War end quote When Zionists pushed a partition plan in the un Henderson recommended strongly against supporting their proposal, saying that such a partition would have to be implemented by force and was not based on any principle. He warned that partition, quote, would guarantee that the Palestine problem would be permanent and still more complicated in the future. Future. You didn't really have to be a prophet to know that that's what would happen. Henderson elaborated further on how plans to partition Palestine would violate American and UN principles. Quote, proposals for partition are indefinite contravention to various principles laid down in the UN Charter as well as to principles on which American concepts of government are based on. These proposals, for instance, ignore such principles as self determination and majority rule. They recognize the principle of a theocratic racial state and even go so far in several instances as to discriminate on grounds of religion and race. Zionists attacked Henderson virulently, calling him anti Semitic, demanding his resignation and threatening his family. What's changed? Can someone answer that question for me? What's changed? They pressured the State Department to transfer him elsewhere. One analyst describes this as the historic game of musical chairs in which officials who recommended Middle Eastern policies consistent with the nation's interests were moved on. So if an American official, when it came to the Middle east, spoke, gave his opinion, and his opinion was what benefits America best. He was moved on is the terminology they use. In 1948, Truman sent Henderson to the slopes of the Himalayas as ambassador to Nepal, then officially under India. In recent years, at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been directed by a Zionist. Repeat that again. In recent years, at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been directed by a Zionist. 185. What is she quoting? Revealed during conversation with State Department associate. But Henderson was far from alone in making his recommendations. He wrote that his views were not only those of the entire Near East Division, but were shared by nearly every member of the Foreign Service or of the State Department who has worked to any appreciable extent on Near Eastern problems. He wasn't exaggerating. Official after official and agency after agency opposed Zionism. In 1947, the CIA reported the Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and the strategic interests of the Western powers in the near and Middle East. Ambassador Henry F. Grady, who has been called America's top diplomatic soldier for a critical period of the Cold war, headed a 1946 commission aimed at coming up with a solution for Palestine. Grady later wrote about the Zionist lobby and its damaging effect on US national interests. I have had a good deal of experience with lobbies but this group started where those of my experiences had ended, wrote Grady. I have headed a number of government missions, but in no other have I ever experienced so much disloyalty in the United States. Since there is no political force to counterbalance Zionism, its campaigns are apt to be decisive, end quote. Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure the US Would not have had the ill will with the Arab states which are of such strategic importance in our Cold War with the Soviets. So if the, if the US hadn't supported the Zionist cause, everything was fine with the Arab states. Now people are listening to that right now and they're thinking, no, no, no, Muslims are like out of their minds. I mean, again, when you ask what causes anti Semitism, there's a reason. When you ask what causes Muslims to act the way they have in the last 80 years, there's a reason. Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure, the US Would not have had the ill will with the Arab states which are such strategic importance in our Cold War with the Soviets. Former Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson also opposed Zionism. Acheson's biographer writes that Acheson worried that the west would pay a high price for Israel. Another author, John Mulhall, records Acheson's warning of the danger for U.S. interests. Quote, to transform Palestine into a Jewish state capable of receiving a million or more immigrants would vastly exacerbate the political problem and imperil not only American but all Western interests in the Middle. In the Near East. The Joint Chiefs of Staff reported in late 1947, quote, a decision to partition Palestine if the decision were supported by the United States would prejudice United States strategic interests in the near and Middle east to the point that United States influence in the area would be curtailed to that that which could be maintained which to that which could be maintained by military force. The Joint Chiefs issued at least 16 papers on the Palestine issue following World War II. They were particularly concerned that the Zionist goal was to involve the US. One 1948 paper predicted, predicted that, quote, the Zionist strategy will seek to involve the United States in a continuously widening and deepening series of operations intended to. Intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives. The CIA stated that Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and the strategic interests of the Western powers in the near and Middle East. The head of the State Department's Division of Near Eastern Affairs, Gordon P. Mariam, warned against a partition plan on moral grounds. Quote, US Support for partition of Palestine as a solution to that problem can be justified only on the basis of Arab and Jewish consent. Otherwise we should violate. We should violate the principle. Otherwise we should violate the principle of self determination which has been written into the Atlantic Charter, the Declaration of the United nations and the United Nations Charter. A principle that is deeply embedded in our faith foreign policy. Even a United nations determination in favor of partition would be, in the absence of such consent, a stultification and violation of the UN's own charter. Miriam added that without consent, bloodshed and chaos would follow a tragically accurate prediction. An internal State Department memorandum accurately predicted how Israel would be born through armed aggression masked as defense. Wow. Quoting. The Jews will be the actual aggressors against the Arabs. However, the Jews will claim that they are merely defending their boundaries of a state which were traced by the un. In the event of such Arab outside aid, the Jews will come running to the Security Council with the claim that their state is the object of armed aggression and will use every means to obscure the fact that fact that it is their own armed aggression against Arabs inside which is the cause of Arab counterattack. They go in as aggressors, or what is it? They cry out in pain as they strike you. Yeah, they went in as the aggressors, just like in Russia. They were the revolutionaries. And when the Russians fought back, they cried foul. They cried pogrom. Same thing over and over and over again. And American Vice Consul William J. Porter foresaw one last outcome of the partition plan that no Arab state would actually ever come to be in Palestine on. That's it up to Chapter nine. Title of that one will be Truman a Seeds to Pro Israel Lobby. Truman of Seeds to Pro Israel Lobby. So, yeah, we'll come back. And I think we're about halfway through this, so we got a few more episodes to go. But I think a lot of you are learning. But I think a lot of you are just like, oh, yeah, of course. And you listen to this and you're like. I think a lot of people are just shrugging because they're used to it. I think a lot of you can almost anticipate what I'm gonna. What's gonna be said because it's almost boring at this point because, you know, it's the same play over and over again. Thankfully. I think it's. It's falling apart. 80 years. All right, see you in a few days. Take care. Bye. Good morning. Welcome to Part six. All right, gonna jump into Truman giving into the pro Israel lobby. But just from the last episode, here's something I thought I would was a big takeaway for me, was Here, I'll actually share this. This one. What I'm looking at. Just go over talking about Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who ended up serving 50 years. This guy Berger, Rabbi Elmer Berger, who was anti Zionist. Emanuel Seller told them that they ought to take your blank out and shoot you. And then when it was unclear that President Harry Truman would support Zionism, Seller and a committee of Zionists told him that they had persuaded Dewey to support the Zionist policy and demanded that Truman take this stand. Seller reportedly pounded on Truman's table and said that if Truman didn't do this, we'll run you out of town. So, yeah, who's in charge? Who is in charge? All right, let me just make sure one thing here. Boom. Alrighty. Cool. All right, let's get into this. Let's keep going. Chapter nine. Truman accedes to the pro Israel lobby. President Harry Truman, however, ignored this advice and chose instead to support the Zionist partition plan. Truman political advisor Clark Clifford believed that the Jewish vote and contributions were essential to winning the upcoming presidential election and that supporting the partition plan would garner that support. Truman's opponent, Dewey, took similar stands for similar reasons. Truman's because they were being threatened. I mean, they had the ability to be like, screw you. If I lose the election, I lose the election. They. They had a chance to stand on principle, but they're politicians. Truman was the 33rd. Mason. Truman's secretary of State, George Marshall, the renowned World War II general and author of the Marshall Plan, was furious to see electoral electoral considerations taking precedence over policies based on the national interest. He condemned what he called a transparent dodge to win a few votes, which would make the great dignity of the office of president seriously diminished. Well, I mean, at this point, it's gone, right? World War II destroys all of this. Marshall wrote that the council offered by Clifford was based on domestic policy considerations, while the problem which confronted us was international. I said bluntly that if the President were to follow Mr. Clifford's advice and if in the elections I were to vote, I would vote against the President. Let me go back a little bit. So I mentioned Emmanuel Seller. Emanuel Seller basically threatening everyone around him, including the President of the United States. Israel needs this partition plan. They need. We don't care who lives there now. We're going to take it over and you're going to do this and you're going to be behind it. What does Emmanuel Seller do? Less than 20 years later, he pens the bill that opens the borders of the United States, the Hart Celler Act. Hart really didn't have anything to do with it. I can't remember his first name right now. He was just the goy to help him push it through, to be there, to be like, yes, this is what needs to be done. That's why his name is first. So he got his partition plan, he got his country for his people people, and then he destroyed ours. Continuing Secretary of Defense James Forrestal also tried unsuccessfully to oppose the Zionists. He was outraged that Truman's Mideast policy was based on what he called squalid political purposes, asserting that United States policy should be based on United States national interest interests and not on domestic political considerations. Forrestal represented the general Pentagon view when he said that, quote, no group in this country should be permitted to influence our policy to the point where it could endanger our national security. Great man. Go back and listen to my episode with Philos on James Forrestal and what they did to him. They killed him. He jumped out a window. Allegedly. He allegedly jumped out a window all by himself. He went crazy all by himself. He was in an asylum. Who came to visit him while he was in a hospital? Who came to visit him while he was in there? Go check out the episode. A report by the National Security Council warned that the Palestine turmoil was acutely endangering the security of the United States. A CIA report stressed the strategic importance of the Middle east and its oil resources. Similar. Similarly, George F. Kennan, the State Department's director of Policy Planning issued a top secret document on January 19th 191947 that outlined the enormous damage done by the to the US by the partition plan. Report by the Policy Planning staff on position of the United States with respect to Palestine as footnoted here, Kennan caution that quote important US oil concessions and airbase rights could be lost through US support for partition and warn that the USSR stood to gain by the partition Partition plan. Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson and a legendary intelligence agent was another who was deeply disturbed by events noting, quote, the process by which Zionist Jews have been able to promote American support for the partition of Palestine demonstrates the vital need of a foreign policy based on national rather than partisan interests. Only when the national interests of the United States in their highest terms take precedence over all other considerations can a logical far seeing foreign policy be evolved. No American political leader has the right to compromise American interests to gain partisan votes. Kermit Roosevelt went on, quote the President the present course of world crisis will increasingly force upon Americans the realization that their national interests and those of the proposed Jewish state state in Palestine are going to conflict. It is to be hoped that American Zionists and non Zionists alike will come to grips with the realities of the problem. Truman wrote in his memoirs, quote, I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. There were now a million dues paying Zionists in the U.S. that's what we call a block, a fifth column, basically. Do you think it's gotten any better? Do you think it's grown? Then as now, in addition to unending pressure, there was financial compensation Truman reportedly reportedly received, receiving a suitcase full of money from Zionists while on his campaign trail around the country. Let's check out the footnote on that, where that footnote comes from. Gore Vidal wrote, quote, sometime in the late 1950s that world class gossip and occasional historian John F. Kennedy told me how in 1948 Harry S. Truman had been pretty much abandoned by everyone when he came to run for president. Then an American Zionist brought him $2 million in cash in a suitcase aboard his whistle stop campaign train. Quote, that's why our recognition of Israel was rushed through so fast. Gore Vidal forward. This is in Gore Vidal's Forward to Jewish History, Jewish Religion, the weight of 3,000 years by Israel Shahak, a book that I have read on this ship that I release every once in a while. Re release every once in a while. Anybody ever wonders why, they're like, oh, Pete, Pete released this a couple months ago. Why is he releasing it again? First of all, new people showing up. Second of all, listen to it again. This is how we got here. Abraham Feinberg, this is still reading the footnotes. Abraham Feinberg, in his Truman Library oral history interview, describes arranging for money to be delivered to Truman during his train campaign around the nation. I had already got the commitments for the $100,000 from people around the country, all of whom understood that without Truman, Israel would have had very difficult days and times trying to even come into existence. As the train went into towns where there were Jewish communities, I arranged that a Jewish delegation would ask to see the President and be received on the train and that in, in as many cases as possible, they would bring him donations above these original commitments. So the trip triumphant. So the trip was a triumphant trip from his point of view as a politician. He often said, quote, if not for my friend Abe, I couldn't have made the trip and I wouldn't have been elected. This is Richard D. McKenzie, Abraham Feinberg Oral History Interview, Truman Library, August 23, 1973. We haven't had a country In a very long time. There was a term that basically could get you arrested in the 70s and 80s ZOG Zionist occupied government. I don't care. I'm going to use it as much as possible. If it is not obvious that now it's as bad as it was then, then you're either not paying attention or you refuse to accept that you think it's unseemly to believe these things. New heading. Personal influences on Truman. One person key in such Zionist financial connections to Truman was Abraham Feinberg, a wealthy businessman who was later to play a similar role with President Johnson. Huh. While many Americans have been aware of Truman's come from behind win over Dewey, few people know about the critical role of Feinberg in the Zionist lobby in financing Truman's victory. After Feinberg finance Truman's famous whistle stop campaign tour, Truman credited him with his presidential win. This is in parenthesis. When the CIA later discovered that Feinberg also helped to finance illegal gun running to Zionist groups, the Truman administration looked the other way. Huh. Shocking. An individual inside the US government who worked to influence policy was David K. Niles, executive assistant first to FDR and then to Truman. Niles, according to author Alfred Lilienthal, was a member of a select group of confidential advisors with an often quoted passion for anonymity. Niles, though occasionally publicizes Mr. Truman's mystery man, remained totally unknown to the public behind the scenes. Niall was regularly briefed by the head of the Washington office of the Zionist Organization of America. When it was discovered that top secret information was being passed on to the Israeli government, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Omar Bradley told Truman he had to choose between Bradley and Nile. Not long after Niles resigned and went on a visit to Israel. Another who helped influence Truman was his old Kansas City friend and business partner, Eddie Jacobson, active in B' Nai Brith and a passionate believer in Jewish nationalism who was able to procure Zionist access to the President at key times. Truman called Jacobson's input of decisive importance. Passionate believer in Jewish nationalism. You think he was that passionate about American. About American nationalism or America? Still another was Sam Rosenman, a political advisor to Truman who screened State Department memos sent to Truman. A longtime diplomat reports that one of the department's memos was returned unopened with a notation quote, president Truman already knows your views and doesn't need this. Evan M. Wilson, a career diplomat who had been US Consul General in Jerusalem, later wrote that Truman had been largely motivated by domestic political considerations. At least one of Truman's key Policy speeches was drafted primarily by the Washington representative of the Jewish Agency. Under Secretary of State James E. Webb. In a dispatch to Secretary of State Dean Atchison noted the obvious quote, past records suggest Israel has had more influence with the US than the U has us with Israel. I would say at this point the US has failed to exist and hasn't existed since then. Chapter 10 pro Israel pressure on General assembly members when it was clear that despite US support, the partition recommendation did not have the 2/3 support of the UN General assembly required to pass Zionist Zionists pushed through a delay in the vote. They then used this period to pressure numerous nations into voting the recommendation. A number of people later described this campaign. Robert Nathan, a Zionist who had worked for the US Government and who was particularly active in the Jewish Agency, wrote afterward, quote, we used any tools at hand such as telling certain delegations that the Zionists would use their influence to block economic aid to any country that did not vote for partition. Another Zionist proudly stated, quote, every clue was meticulously checked and pursued. Not the smallest or the remotest of nations but was contacted and wooed. Nothing was left to chance. Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch Another one right before I believe before I did the Forrestal James Forrestal episode with Philos, we did one on Bernard Barouk. Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch. And now let me just say Bernard Baruch enemy James Forestall hero Just so you know that starting this sentence for the third time, my apologies. Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch told France it would lose US Aid if it voted against parts of partition. Top White House presidential aide David Niles organized pressure on Liberia through rubber magnate Harvey Firestone, who told the Liberian president that if Liberia did not vote in favor of partition, Firestone would revoke his planned expansion in the country. Liberia voted yes. Latin American delegates were told that the Pan American highway construction project would be more likely if they voted yes. Delegates wives received mink coats. The wife of the Cuban delegate returned hers. Costa Rica's President Jose Figueres reportedly received a blank checkbook. Haiti was promised economic aid if it would change its original vote opposing partition. Longtime Zionist Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter along with 10 senators and Truman domestic advisors Clark Clifford threatened the Philippines. Seven bills on the Philippines were pending in Congress before the vote on the plan. The Philippine delegate has given a Had given a passionate speech against partition defending the inviolable PR. Primordial rights of a people to determine their political future and preserve the territorial integrity of Their native land. The delegate went on to say that he could not believe that the General assembly would sanction a move that would place the world back on the road to the dangerous principles of racial exclusiveness and to the archaic documents of theocratic governments. Basically what he's saying is we just fought a world war because a bunch of countries thought that they could remain German or Italian or just. They could remain what they were, what they've been since, you know, for centuries. But now we have to let this small group. Group bend our will so that they can have their ethnostate and they can have their theocracy. We can't even close the fucking borders without people screaming that it's evil. That you know, you're oh, you're fascist, you're this, you're that. Yet this small group can throw their weight. We allow them to throw their weight around so that they could get their own country and operate their borders however they want. And then one of their biggest friggin influences in this country, who's a senator, Emmanuel Seller, he can do that. He can threaten the President of the United States and then swing open our borders wide. And then when you complain about that, it's anti Semitism. Go fuck yourselves. We don't have a country if we don't stop this. We don't have a nation if we don't stop this. We don't have a people if we don't stop this. And the only reason you may see some of them now calling for closed borders is because it's come back to bite them in the ass. It's all about them. They don't care about you. They care about their survival and their thriving, their diaspora. This does not even mention the fact that they went through all of this to have their own country and then they won't go there. They want to stay here and be able to just absolutely be parasitic on us or on Europe on anywhere they go. 24 hours later, after intense Zionist pressure, the Philippine delegate voted in favor of partition on November 29, 1947. UN General Assembly Resolution 181, the resolution creating partition passed. While this resolution is frequently cited, it was of limited, if any, legal impact. General assembly resolutions, unlike Security Council revolutions, are not binding on member states. For this reason, the resolution requested that the Security Council take the necessary measures as provided for in the plan for its implementation, which the Security Council never did. Legally. The General assembly resolution was a recommendation and did not create any states. What it did do, however, was increase the fighting in Palestine. Within months, the Zionists had forced out over 413,000 people. People. So basically there were 413,000 people who lived there for centuries, for a millennia. And this group used all of their power and wealth that they've. And influence that they've figured out that they've basically cheated people out of over the centuries when it comes to money. Definitely. Look, sorry, I've written read these books where they brag about it to force out almost half a million people who have lived there for centuries. That means land without people without a land, right? Or I guess they were all evil, right? They're all evil Muslims. Do you know how many of these people were Christians? A lot. Zionist military units had stealthily been preparing for war before the UN vote and had acquired massive weaponry, some of it through a widespread network of illicit gun running operations in the US under a new number of front groups. As mentioned above, on May 15, Zionists announced the creation of their new state. They decided to name it Israel and chose not to set its boundaries or to write a constitution. A situation which, yeah, they still don't have a constitution there. Five Arab armies joined the fighting. But contrary to general perceptions of this war, Zionist Israeli forces outnumbered the combined Arab and Palestinian combat patents. Basically what you have here, people talk about, oh they all these Arabs and Muslims just started coming from other countries basically. It would be like if somebody invaded, if a foreign entity invaded Alabama and then Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina sent armies to help repel the invasion. If a foreign entity, if a foreign army came and started forcing people out of Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia sent armies. That's what it was, had nothing to do with, with Islam. It has to do with the fact that there are people, yes, they might happen to be Muslim, but Christians from, if they did that here, Christians from Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia would come. The fact that they were Christians may have a little bit to do with it, but it wouldn't. Can we fucking stop with the bullshit already? They've already bragged that they brought, they brought terrorism to the Middle East. Jews, Zionists, if you're scared to use that term. The UN eventually managed to create a temporary and very partial ceasefire which during Israel obtained even more. Which is. Which. During which Israel obtained even more armament. A Swedish UN mediator, Count Folk Bernadotte, who had previously rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis. He basically had negotiated to get Jews out of, out of concentration camps. He was dispatched to negotiate an end to the violence. Israeli assassins killed him and Israel continued what it was to call its war of independence. How can invading army call it a war of independence? Why would you do anything nice for these people if they're just going to fucking kill you? Why are we still putting up with this? At the end of this war, through ruthless implementation of plans to push out as many non Jews as possible, Israel came into existence on 78% of Palestine. But let us take a closer look at the violence that followed the UN recommendation. I'm done. I'm friggin you can. We'll do this on episode seven. All right, take care everyone. Have a good weekend and spend time with people you love. Take care. Bye. All right, here we go. Part 7 of Against Our Better Judgment by Alison Weir. Last episode got me worked up so. Gee, I wonder. I'm going to talk about massacres and the conquest of Palestine. See how much better I do this time. All right, here we go. Chapter 11. Massacres and the Conquest of Palestine. The passing of the partition resolution in November 1947 triggered the violence of the State Department and Pentagon analysts had predicted and for which Zionists had been preparing. So the State Department of Pentagon knew this was going to happen and Zionists were preparing for the violence. There were at least 33. That number just. I love how that number triggers spurg so much. There were at least 33 massacres of Palestinian villages, half of them before a single Arab army joined the conflict. So the narrative you will hear Zionists and Jews say is that as soon as they showed up, Arabs from all over the place just poured over the borders for no reason because Jews were there. They wanted to kill Jews. According to this, there were at least 33 massacres of Palestinian villages, half of them before a single Arab army. Shut up. To the conflict. So what is the. Ah, okay, so the looking for. Oh, she just lists out all of the villages and the dates that these massacres took place. And it's from Khomsaya. Palestinian refugees. Right. To return and repartition. Zionist forces were better equipped and had more men under arms than their opponents. If you remember from my 200 Years Together series, Dr. Johnson reiterates over and over and over again that the Jews in Russia, especially in Ukraine, the revolutionaries, were far better equipped than their Russian counterparts. Why? Because they were getting arms from overseas, they were getting arms from other places, they were better financed. The police forces there. You're not really used to violence when you have a monoculture, but introduce a foreign element, especially a foreign element as such. And here's what happens. Zionist forces were better equipped and had more men under arms than Their opponents. And by the end of Israel's quote, unquote war of independence, over 750,000 Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled. Zionists succeeded in their first half of their goal. Israel, the self described Jewish state, had come into existence so that 750,000 Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled from their homes. Homes. And their homes were taken over by Jews. They call that in Palestine and in the Arab world, the Nakba. It's the catastrophe. When you mention it to a Zionist or a Jew nowadays, especially one who is militant Zionist, they will say that's a made up term. You mean like pogrom? Only one group in the world is allowed to have a term for their. For what's allegedly happened to them. As Israeli historian Tom Segev writes, Israel was born of terror, war and revolution, and its creation required a measure of fanaticism and cruelty. The massacres were carried out by Zionist forces, including Zionist militias that had engaged in terrorist attacks in the area for years. Years. Proceeding to partition resolution. Okay, so what is the. I mean, anyone who knows anything knows this, but hold on, something on my glasses bothered me. Violence between. The footnote says violence between Zionists and Palestinians began in the 1920s, with both sides at times killing civilians. Palestinian uprisings against Zionist colonialism occurred in 1920 and 1929 and against the British in 1936. That's from Ilan. I think it was Ilan, Papa. I can't remember his first name, but Papa's ethnic cleansing. I think it's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Page 14. Zionists created the Haganah in 1920. Same book, the Irguni in, was founded in 1931. Split off from the Hagana, the Stern Gang was founded in 1940. Betar, a youth movement, was founded by Ziv Jabotinsky in 1923 in Europe. Europe with training camps dotted about Europe. That's from Bell's Terror out of Zion, page 19. Historian J. Bauer Bell reports that members who went to Palestine foresaw Zion redeemed. Foresaw, quote, Zion redeemed through a blood sacrifice. I wonder what that means. In the 1930s, the Iroquois perpetrated a number of attacks on Palestinian civilians. From Bell's Terror out of Zion, page 20. 21. Pape writes that the 1936 Arab revolt gave the Haganah a chance to practice military tactics, quote, mostly in the form of retaliatory operations against such targets as roadside snipers for thieves taking good goods from a kibbutz. The main objective, however, seems to have been to intimidate Palestinian communities who happen to live in proximity to Jewish settlements. All right, let's see. Okay. The massacres were carried out by Zionist forces, including Zionist militias that engage in terrorist attacks in the area for years preceding the partition resolution. Descriptions of the massacres by both Palestinian and Israelis are nightmarish. An Israeli eyewitness reported that at the village of Al the Wayma, the children they killed by breaking. The children they killed by breaking their heads with stones. There was not a house without dead. One soldier boasted that he had raped the woman and then shot her. One Palestinian woman testified that a man shot her nine month old pregnant sister and then cut her stomach open with a butcher knife. Okay, well, I mean, and I've heard exaggerations and ridiculous claims from both sides. Now what I know is people are being killed and just people who have lived there, whose families have lived there for a thousand years are being removed and a lot of people are being killed, killed. And I know that women, that Palestinian women were raped by Jewish men because I saw a documentary with a bunch of the men who participated in this and one of them was bragging about it. So unless he's lying, which, I mean, there's a really good chance he's lying. But you know, one of the better documented massacres occurred in a small neutral Palestinian village called Dire Yassan Yassin in April 1948, before any Arab armies had joined the war. So another, again, they will tell you Arabs just poured in from. And you know, I used last time, the, or not last time, maybe a couple episodes ago, the example of if Alabama was invaded by a foreign force, I assume knowing that problems, there'd be problems from coming from elsewhere, that even if the, even though you would expect the government, the federal government to do something about it, but if we have some lunatic leftists in charge, they may not care about Alabama, but forces from Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, even northern Florida, the Panhandle may send forces to help because they know that they may be next. Yeah, this wasn't. We've already had Menachem beginning brag that Jews brought not only terrorism to the Middle east, but they brought it to the world. What you will hear Zionists argue is that these Arab armies that were, that were going to come and join in the war against the Jew, against these invading Jews and Zionists are terrorists. They're reacting to terrorism. It's just like in Russia when revolutionaries took up arms and tried to overthrow the government. Whenever anybody fought back, they were called pogromists or Murderers or people trying to commit genocide. Same thing here. A Swiss Red Cross representative was one of the first to arrive on the scene where he found 254 dead, including 145 women and 35 of them pregnant. Witnesses reported that the attacks attackers lined up families, men, women, grandparents and children, even infants, and shot them. Okay, I don't know about the whole infants and children thing. I am not, I believe the men, women and grandparents. So I'm willing to steal man it and give the benefit of the doubt. Of course, Zionists aren't an eyewitness. A future colonel in the Israeli military later wrote of the militia members. They didn't know how to fight, but as murderers they were pretty good. So just bragging. Let's see. That's from Daniel McGowan, a Jewish eyewitness. An interview with Mayor Payel in Remembering Dayar the Future of Israel and Palestine by Daniel McGowan and Mark Ellis, book 1998, page 40. Israeli military historian Colonel Meir Payal, who was then a member of the Haganah terrorist organization. You can actually, if you go on the Jewish virtual library they call, they will call it a terrorist organization, was at Dairy Hasan acting as a communications officer and witness parts of the massacre. I'm sure whenever you want to say that you didn't. Whenever someone wants to say they, they weren't taking part, they always say communications officer or medic or something like that. But anyway, the Red Cross representative who found the bodies at Diar Y arrived in time to see some of the killing in action. He wrote in his diary that Zionist militia members were still entering houses with guns and knives. When he arrived, he saw one young woman, a Jewish woman carrying a blood covered dagger and saw another stab an old couple in their draw in their doorway. The representative wrote that the scene reminded him of SS troops he had seen in Athens. No idea what that means. Richard Catling, British Assistant Inspector General for the Criminal Investigation Division, reported on sexual atrocities committed by Zionist forces. Quote, many young girls were raped and later slaughtered. He reported old women were also molested. This I do believe because I've heard Zionists at the time, Jews at the time, interviews with them later in years. And they talked about this. And one of them went as far as to say is, you know, someone asked, well, what does your wife think of this? He's like, I never told my wife that I did these things. Do you think it would even matter? Really? Do you think I matter to his wife? I don't think so. The Dir Yassin attack was perpetrated by two Zionist militias and coordinated with the main Zionist forces whose elite unit participated in part of the operation. The head of the two militias, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, later became prime ministers of Israel. But it's the Arabs that are terrorists. You. It's amazing to me that you can't call Israel a terrorist state. I mean, I understand it's over the top. It's hyperbolic and too many goofy fucking leftists pieces of shit say that. But I mean literally, you had Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir. Menachem Begin, who says we. We invented terrorism, brought it into the world and brought it to the Middle east. And Yitzhak Shamir, I mean two who were literal terrorists and killed innocent and basically ethnically cleanse the land that they became prime ministers. And you're not. And. But you're not allowed to call it a terrorist state, no matter how lefty bullshit it sounds. Begin, head of the Irgun militia, sent the following message to his troops about their victory at Dir. Yassin, quoting, this is all going to be one quote. Accept my congratulations on the splendid act of conquest. Convey my regards to all the commanders and soldiers. We shake your hands. We are all proud of the excellent leadership and the fighting spirit in this great attack. We stand to attention in memory of the slain. We lovingly shake the hands of the wounded. Tell the soldiers you have made history in Israel with your attack and your conquests. Continue thus until victory as in dairy. So everyone, everywhere, we will attack and smite the enemy. Me, God, God, Thou has chosen us for conquest. Approximately six months later, Begin, who had publicly taken credit for other terrorist attacks, including blowing up the King David Hotel In Jerusalem, killing 91 people, came on a tour of America. Isn't that great? The tour sponsors included famous playwright Ben Hecht, a fervent Zionist who applauded Irgun violence and eventually included 11 senators, 12 governors, 70 congressmen, 17 justices and numerous other public officials. Yeah, yeah. If you want to understand why, like no one in our government will to cry or condemn Israeli violence. You know where Israel just launches bombs at Tehran, a capital city, a city with civilians. But as soon as Iran launches missiles back and they land in Tel Aviv, where Israel uses human shields to hide unit 8200 and a bunch of their. Basically a bunch of their intelligence and military outfits are not like out on the outskirts of town where they can be. No, they're in the middle of town. But you will hear Jews scream all day about human shields. So we watched A launch on Tehran, saw apartment buildings hit, like, oh, we took out a leader probably, and his family. The family lived beneath it, lived above it. Half the people in the building, perfectly fine. No one in our government will condemn it. Half the people in this country won't condemn it. But as soon as Iran launches back, that needs to be condemned. I mean, this is the same thing. They cry out in anger as they strike you. They cry out in pain as they strike you. Oh, my God, look what I'm doing to you. You made me do this. Look at all the pain. So back in 1948, 11 senators, 12 governors, 70 congressmen, 17 justices and numerous other public officials came out to celebrate Menachem Begin. And I guarantee you they knew everything that they did over there. The King David Hotel. Bombing, diarrhea, sin. All of it. All of it. The State Department. The State Department, yeah. That makes. That's about right. The State Department, fully aware of his violent activities in Palestine, tried to reject BEGINS visa, but was overruled by Truman. I mean, probably Emmanuel Seller was in there beating on the Resolute desk, right? Saying, we'll run you out of town. Begin later proudly admitted his terrorism in an interview for American television. When the interviewer asked him, how does it feel in light of all that's going on, to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East? East Begging and proclaimed in the Middle east, in all the world. She just repeated this, but we went over this earlier. All right, chapter 12. US front groups for Zionist Militarism. See how long this is. So I don't know how long we're gonna go here. This might be a little bit long, but. Ah, fine. A number of groups operated in the US to support Zionist paramilitary groups in Palestine. These often employed clandestine methods and deceptive names. I mean, I don't think. I think we've already seen that. The general American public had little idea about the true nature of these groups and what they were supporting. A Irgun delegation. Hillel Kook as Peter Bergson. A covert Irgun delegation. Irgun is a terrorist group. They openly admit that it was a terrorist group. A covert Irgun delegation operated in the US from the late 1930s through 1948 under a half dozen front organizations, including Emergency Committee to Save European Jewry and American Friends of a Jewish Palestine. The main leader was Hillel Kuk, the senior Irgun official working outside Palestine. Upon coming to the U.S. he assumed the alias Peter Bergson, and the group is often called the Bergson Boys. Book's been written about the Bergson Boys. The other leader was Yitzhak Ben Ami, father of Jeremy Ben Ami, founder of today's lobbying organization J Street. They're still here people. They didn't go anywhere. Also closely involved was Ari Jabotinsky, son of right wing Zionist leader Vladimir Zev Jabotzinski. Also associated with the group was meir Kahana, who 20 years later founded the violent Jewish Defense League. Though historians have documented that their purpose in coming to the US was to raise money for Ergon activities in Palestine, this was unknown to the multitude of high level supporters the group even eventually required. These supporters included Eleanor Roosevelt, Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dorothy Parker, Herbert Hoover, Will Rogers Jr. Labor leader William Green, U.S. solicitor General Fowler Harper and U.S. interior Secretary Harold Ickes. The FBI, however, suspected this illegal fundraising. It investigated the front group several times but largely bundled the investigations and failed to produce evidence. As author Rafael Medovation divulges quote. In fact, according to Bergson lobbyist Baruch Rabinowitz, funds raised by the Bergsonites in the United States were indeed secretly transferred to the Irgun. The methods of transfer were simply so well concealed that the FBI could not uncover them. Well, when you own half the politicians, right? But oh, now they own all of them. Their biographer, Israeli professor Judith Baumel writes that the Irgun delegation quickly set about integrating themselves into the social and political culture of their temporary home. They quickly grasped the public mood, molded to a large extent by propaganda and public relations, was a dominant force in the American system of direct representation. And they soon became masters of media manipulation. I love that it says the political culture of their temporary home which so many of them don't want to leave. Just know, Consider the amounts that don't consider this to be their home. But they won't leave. But they won't leave us alone. They won't. They continue to influence everything we do politically at the highest levels. Thus, besides their secret funneling of money for terrorist activities in Palestine against Palestinians, the British and members of the Jewish community, the Ergun delegation engaged in numerous public activities pushing for the Jewish state in Palestine. They lobbied Congress and the White House, organized a march on Washington D.C. of 500 rabbis and placed full page ads in newspapers around the U.S. they also produced a pageant called We Will Never Die celebrating the Jewish contribution to Western Civilization. Written by Ben Heck, directed by Moss Hart. Heart, featuring music by Kurt Weil and starring Edward G. Robinson. The cast also included Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, 100 yeshiva students from Brooklyn and 50 Orthodox rabbis. 40,000 attended the extravaganza's New York performances. It then went on to play in most of America's largest cities. The group produced several other plays and rallies, one of which starred a young Marlon Brando and brought in $1 million. We never had a chance, but at least now we know, right? People didn't even know at that point. There were some. Look what happened to them. Think of the original America first, the real America First. Baume reports to an American Jewish leader who had immigrated to Palestine wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt asking her to withdraw support from the Brando production because its profits were being used to fund terrorist activity. Eleanor ignored this advice, apparently unaware that it was well founded. During World War II, the various organizations created by the Irgun delegation frequently pushed for rescuing European Jews from the Nazis. Nazis. But one of their major demands was for the creation of a Jewish army of stateless and Palestinian Jews. The idea was that the Allies should create a Jewish army to fight alongside them against the Nazis. However, certain right wing Zionists had sought this army even before the Nazi Holocaust began. And some analysts argue it was a plan with a mixed agenda. Historian William Rubenstein writes, quote, it is rather difficult to believe that Bergson's implausible proposal did not have far more to do with creating the nucleus of a Jewish Palestinian force to be used against the British and the Arabs than with saving Europe's Jews from the Nazis. So basically what he's saying is he's saying this wasn't supposed to do anything to help fight the Nazis. This was to help fight. This was to fight against Palestinians and British and the Arabs. One supporter, best selling author Pierre Vanpossen, resigned when he learned that various delegations spawned committees to save Jews were all being run by the same small group and they were all tied to horrific terrorist actions in Palestine. I'm just reading this talking about how Jews went to Palestine and just went there and brought terrorism there. Yet you say this to Zionists and they attack you and they say no, that didn't happen. Or they make excuses. It wasn't terrorism, it was revolutionary. It was our war for independence. The people invading a land and saying, saying that this is our war for independence. He declared that he did not believe that they had the means or intention to truly save Jews from the Nazis. Writing, quote, to speak bluntly, that Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe is a hoax in my judgment, a very cruel hoax perpetrated on the American public, Jewish and non Jewish alike. Some at the time and since have considered the delegation's efforts heroic. But critics point out that it did not manage to rescue any Jews during the Nazi Holocaust, though it may have helped contribute to the pressure on President Roosevelt to later create a war refugee Board. I mean, it didn't. It didn't help to consider it, but critics pointed out it didn't during. Though it helped. So I mean. I mean, what was the purpose of it. If their fellow Jews in Europe were in danger? If we had. If their Americans in danger in another country, we'd probably do anything we could to get them out or help them. At least the same when we had a sane government. But they don't want that. They honestly believe that it's all right to sacrifice people as long as it helps us achieve our goals. The group had numerous opponents among Jewish leaders, both Zionists and anti Zionists. Some, unlike the general public, were aware of their secret connections to Menachem Begins Organ, whose violent tactics many found abhorrent, particularly when they targeted the British at a time that England was fighting to defeat Hitler. The most effective way, many felt to rescue Jews. It's amazing that while the world. While the world was at war, while. While the whole world basically came together to fight fascism and took the side of communism. And I know that causes so much cognitive dissonance in people. I love bringing that up to people when they talk about how we had to defeat the Nazis. And I say, yeah, by fighting on the side of communism. And then they get half of Europe too. Yeah, choke on it. Choke on it, motherfuckers. Biographer Baume writes that the more mainstream Zionist establishment was disturbed by the clandestine nature of the committee's formation and the absence of any hint as its intention. This division among Zionists was largely hidden from view, however, as a delegation aimed for the American man on the street. Using tantalizing slogans, illustrated frustrated advertisements and seductive curiosity wedding gimmicks. Mamel notes that Irgun's delegations. The Irgun delegation's primary triumph was to understand the power of Madison Avenue. Yeah. Author Raphael Medoff describes the importance of that understanding. The violent behavior of the Jewish forces in Palestine would have surely undermined American public sympathy for the Zionist cause if not for the efforts of the Jewish Jewish Underground's American friends. This public relations crusade was critical in building American support. So to continue, I got sidetracked before. While everyone's off fighting and dying in Europe, these people are invading a land and bringing terrorism to the Middle east and killing and raping and. And starting a propaganda. I mean, starting a widespread propaganda campaign that includes numerous politicians in this country to support them and what they do while men are dying while 70 million are dying in Europe. After World War II, the delegation became involved in the sometimes secretive, sometimes very public movement of European Jews to Palestine. One purpose, Ben Ami explained, was to build up the Irgun terror forces. We must build a network in Europe capable of moving thousands of Irgun soldiers to Palestine. This intention, however, was not announced to the general public. Bergson, Kook's uncle, was Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Kook, often known as Rabbi Kook the Elder. Rabbi Kook was originally from Eastern Europe. Shocking. Had worked toward the Balfour Declaration in Britain. Shocking. And eventually became the Chief Rabbi of Palestine because of course, he did. Perhaps his most significant accomplishment was to devise an ideology that merged a Kabbalistic version of religious Judaism with political Zionism, founding an extremist religious Zionism that continues in existence today. Again, go back and read. Go back and listen to my reading or go find a copy of the book Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak, a Jew who lived in Israel, and he will explain to you how Judaism today has nothing to do with the Bible. Bible. They're not even monotheists, they're polytheists. Sex, magic and all sorts of bullshit. The Kabbalah teaches that non Jews are the embodiment of Satan and that the world was created solely for the sake of Jews. Rabbi Kook, who achieved saintly status among his followers in Israel and the US stated, the difference between a Jewish soul and, and, and souls of non Jews is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle. Yeah, that's why they can kill children and then just tell you, oh well, they were human shields. Hamas was using them as human shields. And you go, yes, yes, I, I believe that. I believe that. Set clapping fucking seals. In addition to spanning the Jewish religious secular continuum, the Irgun delegation span the political spectrum from left to right. Baume writes that it evinced many of the unique characteristics of Eastern European proto fascism while also forming partnerships with communists and Jews who belong to left wing American groups. No difference, same thing. So this Jewish religious secularism continue secular continuum. The Irgun delegation span the political spectrum from left to right. If you have people on the left and you have people on the right and the people on the right are working and the people on the left are working and you've covered both sides. That's called the kosher sandwich. B Rabbi Korf and the Political Action Committee for Palestine, another terrorist front group and PR machine was formed by an Orthodox rabbi named Baruch Korf who achieved tremendous mainstream success. And became well known in the us. His underground activities, on the other hand, were considerably less known. Korf had earlier been executive director of one of the Bergson Group's entities before starting his own splinter group, the Political Action Committee for Palestine. Corf used many of the same tactics as Kook while also building close relationships with various active and former congressmen. Corf combined these strong political connections and PR machinations to extraordinary, if duplicitous, effect. One example, which historian Rafael Medov calls a particularly well choreographed stunt, involved a former Republican congressman, Joseph Joseph Clark Baldwin of New York. At Corf's request, Baldwin, who had friendly relations with President Truman, staged a highly publicized visit to England and Palestine in 1946. Corf then composed Baldwin's official report of the visit which called on England and the United States to recognize Palestine as an independent democracy of which homeless European Jews shall be considered citizens. Then, immediately after writing Baldwin's report, Corf put out a press release criticizing one aspect of the report in order to make it appear that Baldwin was not a puppet of the Political Action Committee for Palestine, but rather had visited London and Jerusalem with an open mind and returned with his own conclusions. Baldwin here is just a. I mean a useful idiot and apparently didn't speak out against. It really makes you wonder when you hear all this Epstein stuff how long this has been going on. Corf was also involved in a terrorist plot that was foiled in the last minute by a young American World War II aviator studying in France. British intelligence had discovered in 1946 that Jewish terrorists, including Corf, were planning to assassinate the British Foreign Minister. For some reason, details about this were heavily censored from the British public for many years. But in 2003, the British security files were finally released. In 1947, Corfin, his group hatched a plan to drop bombs on the British Foreign office along with 10,000 threatening leaflets quoting we will carry the war to the very heart of the British Empire. The leaflets were to read, read, we will strike with all the bitterness and fury of our servitude and bondage. Let's check the 283. This is from French arresting Irnest AIDS after exposure of alleged plot to bomb London. This is from the Jewish Telegraph Agency. This is. I'm reporting on themselves telling you what they did. They do this all the time. You're supposed. Here's the thing, you're supposed to celebrate it. If you criticize it, then you're an anti Semite. The group tried to recruit a young American aviator in Paris to fly a plane from which the bombs would be dropped, promising him lucrative jobs. After the mission was completed, it had probably put a bullet in his head. The aviator Reginald Gilbert had flown 136 combat missions over Europe during World War II, shooting down three German planes and damaging seven. Gilbert pretended to agree with the plot but instead informed the American Embassy and then worked with Scotland Yard and the Paris police to have the would be assassins arrested. French police who said they feared for the flyer's life if the Stern gang ever caught up with him. Them then flew him to London until he could return to the US Almost no one remembers this plot today, but it was headline news at the time in newspapers across the United States. While some news accounts revealed the full plot, reports quickly stopped mentioning the bombs and recounted only the plan to drop the threatening leaflets. Someone was leaning on spokes, people or reporters to make sure only part of the story got out. Who could that have been? And it could be powerful Jews. It could be the politicians they own. I mean who owned the press. But they couldn't keep Gilbert quiet. In a firsthand account of the plot published by the New York Herald Tribune, Gilbert confirmed that the group had planned much more than a leaflet drop. The first idea had been to drop bombs on British Parliament but the target was subsequently changed to the Foreign Ministry because Corf held a grudge against the office for refusing him a visa to Palestine. It's funny that they didn't. Was no plan to drop anything on the City of London. Trademark. City of London, one square mile. Where all the banks and everything is. Huh? What? Why wouldn't they do that? In his article, Gilbert recounted a conversation he had with Corf while playing along with the plot, which he continues to do at the direction of Paris police. He says he told core fog might prevent them from locating their exact target. To which Corf replied that they could just drop the bombs anywhere on London. When Gilbert protested that innocent people might be killed, Corf replied they are British so they are our enemy. Just know, replace British there with anyone who's not a Jew. I'll be, I'll be charged Zionist. After being arrested by Paris police and charged with illegal possession of explosives and war weapons, Corf came. Corf came up with various stories. At one point he claimed that Gilbert had been the guilty party. Next, he and Hillel Kook, using his alias Peter Bergson, claimed that the plot was a British frame up and that Gilbert was a British alien agent. In other versions, Corf claimed that the British Nazi party fabricated the story. A claim picked up by the British Weekly News Review. According to the London Times, Corf later said that millions of dollars had been subscribed by private American sources to fund the purchase of the aircraft. So American sources, let's quote unquote American sources there were going to fund this. Powerful allies proclaimed that Corf was innocent and brought pressure on the State Department to help him. These allies included Corf's contacts in Congress and his father, Rabbi Jacob Corf, who was leader of the Boston Jewish Rabbinate and wielded considerable influence. When he died, the Massachusetts governor and Boston mayor attended his funeral, which was accompanied by a 5,000-person march. By November 22, all charges were dropped. In 1948, Baruch Korf had the temerity to publish a large advertisement in the New York Post calling a State Department policy against enforcing the partition of Palestine, pure and simple. Anti Semitism, plain, everyday anti Semitism incorporated into the hearts and minds of those who govern free America. Later, Corf became a close friend and fervent supporter of President Richard Nixon, who called him my rabbi. Corf is reported to have influenced Nixon's strong support for Israel and efforts to allow Soviet Jews to emigrate. It appears that Nixon was unaware of Corf's terror connection past. According to a book on Nixon by investigative reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bald Bernstein, CIA operatives who also appear to have been ignorant of Corf's background. Bullshit. Corf introduced him to Nixon as just a small town rabbi. Corf introduced himself to Nixon as just a small town rabbi. Corf served as chaplain for the Massachusetts Department of mental health for 21 years. He later acted as a consultant to Brown University in conjunction with the school's acquisition of his extensive archives. According to London Independent, Corf had many supporters in high places, including prime ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Golda Meir C. The Sonneborn Institute, a third collective of front groups, was the secret American arm of the main Zionist paramilitary in Palestine, the Haganah. Known as the Sonneborn Institute, it was founded by an American, Rudolf G. Sonneborn, in conjunction David Ben Gurion, who led Zionist forces in Palestine. Sonneborn Zion, of a wealthy German Jewish family from Baltimore, had met Ben Gurion in 1919. Sonneborn had traveled to the Versailles Peace Conference as a secretary of a Zionist delegation at the behest of Supreme Court Justice Brandeis, a family friend, and afterward went on a tour of Palestine. But conspiracies don't exist, Bro, you're paranoid. In 1945, Sonneborn and Ben Gurion hosted a meeting of 17 well connected guests at Sonneborn's Manhattan penthouse. Ben Gurion informed the group that their purpose was to form an underground organization to raise money and support for purposes which could not be publicized or even fully disclosed. Closed the guests came from Los Angeles, Toronto, Miami, Birmingham, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Newark, New Haven and New York. One was a rabbi, five were lawyers, and the others were highly successful businessmen. The organization was eventually to have representatives in at least 35 to 40 industry groups. And in one month alone there were meetings in Memphis, Ohio, New Jersey, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City City, Baton rouge, Dallas, Washington D.C. and 40 more were scheduled. They also organized Zionist youth groups whose young members sometimes helped loaded load guns onto boats headed for Palestine for use in taking over the land for a Jewish state. Nazi youth US activities tried to stop these illegal and damaging activity. Activ US authorities tried to stop these illegal and damaging activities. In 1948, the Director of Central Intelligence filed a top secret report with the Secretary of Defense about the Zionist arms trafficking. He warned US national security is unfavorably affected by these developments and it could be seriously jeopardized by continued illicit traffic in the quote, unquote implements of war. But like the other Zionist front groups discussed above, the Sonneborn Institute had friends in high places. Author Grant Smith reports that under Truman, quote, haganah operated operative groups active in arms trafficking within the US like the terrorist charges would only be lightly investigated and seldom persecuted prosecuted. So they could openly traffic in arms within the United States and then send them overseas. The amount of American money mobilized for Zionism during this period is impossible to know, but indications suggest that it was astronomical. The Jewish Agency for Israel raised the equivalent in Today's dollars of 3.5 billion between 1939 and May 1948 alone, and has been described above. This was just one of the numerous Zionist organizations raising money from Americans. Stop right there. This was a longer one. I mean, I mean, what's the takeaway from all this? And I'm going to finish this, of course. We don't have a country. We haven't in a very long time. That's it. Be back in a couple days with Chapter 13 infiltrating displaced persons camps in Europe to funnel people to Palestine. Take care, everyone. Everyone, see you in a couple days. All right, let's do part eight of Against Our Better Judgment by Allison. We're just finished doing the Sunday live stream. And I'm like, oh, well, well, let's just get it done. We are here, so let's do it. Alrighty, Here we go. Chapter 13. Infiltrating displaced persons Camps in Europe to funnel people to Palestine A similar underground campaign was operated in Europe. Zionist cadres infiltrated displaced persons camps that had been set up to house refugees displaced by. During World War II, these infiltrators tried secretly to funnel people to Palestine. When it turned out that most didn't want to go to Palestine, they worked to convince them, sometimes by force. The fact was that Zionists needed more people to go to Palestine. As Ben Gurion stated in 1944, the essence of Zionism is one of a populating endeavor to populate Israel with multitudes of Jews. Gee, isn't that what they do with weaponized immigration now? Like HIAs Hebrew immigrant aid Society, you just, you know, if you want people to take over, you're going to need multitudes. If you want people to crowd out who's already there to punish who's already there, you crowd as many people as possible. Israeli professor Yosef Grudzinski explains that Zionists were looking for Shomer Enoshi Tov good human materials, a phrase Zionist organizers frequently used. Convincing Jews to uproot themselves and move to Palestine proved to be a formidable task. When life is good, people tend to stay where they are. Candidates for Palestine immigration, therefore had to be Jews whose life was not good. Good. Post Holocaust DPs displaced persons became a human res reserve of great immigration potential. Hence a prime target for the Zionists. A senior Mossad commander anticipated that even these might not wish to come to Palestine and would need to be actively recruit recruited. Quoting we must not think that thousands upon thousands will come knocking at the country's gates once they open. The Zionist movement must understand that it must be first on the market when only a minority of Jewish refugees wish to go to Palestine. A report by Zionist operative Rabbi Klausner concluded the people must be forced to go to Palestine. Author Alfred Lilienthal reports that Zionists working in the refugee camps employed numerous means to compel residents to agree to go to Palestine. Palestine, including confiscation of food rations, dismissal from work, expulsion from the camps, taking away legal protections and visa rights, and in one case quote, even the public flogging of a recalcitrant recruit for the Israel army. End quote. The Jewish Brigade of the British Army, a unit long sought by Zionists and finally created it in the final months of the war. War was one of the first on the scene. Its soldiers and officers turned into clandestine emissaries of the Zionist movement. Grudzinski Reports quote, one role brigade soldiers took upon themselves was to gather Jewish children hidden away in monasteries or with non Jewish families. He writes, quote, jewish orphans were to be found in many places having survived thanks to the goodness of Christian families and institutions that hid them them throughout the war, end quote. Now the brigade soldiers directed by the Jewish Agency's Diaspora center were retrieving them and taking them to special orphanages where they were to be cared for, receive Zionist education and be trained for immigration to Palestine. Grudzinski reports that the process was not always easy. Many families who rescued Jewish children were not treating them as if they were their own, were now, okay, let me repeat that. My apologies. Many families who rescue rescued Jewish children were now treating them as if they were their own. To retrieve these children, brigade men occasionally resorted to force, end quote. Future Israeli Major General Yossi Peled and his sisters were among them. They had been raised by a Christian family almost from infancy. Brigade soldiers, quote, came in one day armed and threatened the adoptive parents, saying that these are Jewish children and they must give us and they must give us away, otherwise they would suffer. They had no choice but hand us over and we were put in a Jewish orphanage in Belgium. The children tried to refuse to leave the house and one of his sisters later said that her brothers screams till her her brother's screams still echo in her head head. One of the best known orphanages, Salvino House, was run by brigade soldiers who implemented strict rules, including requiring that only Hebrew be spro be spoken. Children were not permitted to leave the orphanage to search for relatives out of concern that they might then stay in Europe rather than go to Palestine. But they all these people care about his family, right? Right. Grudzinski goes on to report the thousands of children pass through such institutions, quote, their period of residence there being just another part of the journey to the Promised Land. End quote. In July 1945, Zionists organized the first congress of Jewish Survivors in Germany, which issued a proclamation calling for the immediate establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. While the proclamation claimed to represent the survivors, in reality most of the ten signatories were Zionist envoys from Palestine. Future Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion believed that Palestine should be the only destination for Jewish survivors. Grudzinski and other Israeli authors provide little known context for the odyssey of the 4,500 survivors from German camps who set sail in July 1970, 1947 as illegal immigrants on a ship later named Exodus. Brute Kimmerling, an Israeli professor and author of nine books on the founding tenets of Zionism writes, quote, the real story of the ship was far less glorious than the one told in Leon Urus's 1958 bestseller and Otto Preminger's 1960 film Israel. Israeli author author Edith Zertl calls it an orchestrated media event. Kimmerling, citing Zertal's research, writes that Ben Gurion felt that the plight of the Jewish refugees in Europe needed to be dramatized in order to attract more sympathy for the Jewish struggle over Palestine. While many people have heard that British authorities refused to allow their illegal immigration into Palestine and forced the boat to be returned to Germany Germany, few know that the French government had agreed to host the refugees. Ben Gurion rejected the solution and the survivors were forced unnecessarily to remain on board for seven months. Kimberling commented, quote, Ben Gurion strategy in the Exodus affair paid off. The fate of the refugee ship attracted considerable and sympathetic attention around the world and served the Zionist cause well. Few observers at the time knew that many of the refugees from the Exodus had applied for immigration visas to the United States and were hardly anxious to settle in Israel. Kimmerling points out, quote by dramatizing the fate of the survivors, in whom he had little interest except as future residents of the state he was building, Ben Gurion helped to make Israel the world's chief power broker over Jewish affairs. Under his leadership, Israel established a claim to represent all of world Jewry and on this basis successfully claimed reparations from the Federal Republic of Germany. Let me look at the footnote on that because I swear they're still paying those reparations today. That's from Baruch Kimmerling's Is Is Israel's Culture of martyrdom the Nation January 10, 2005 it's an article. This is a note here. This was not the only such case that has been somewhat misrepresented in Zionist propaganda. 200 Jewish refugees aboard another such ship, the Patria, died when Jewish forces placed a bomb under the hole to disable the ship. Maybe we'll get into the Patria affair. I don't know if that's going to come up right now. Let me see. Basically let me look up the Patria affair so I have. I can tell you exactly what happened. The Patriot case Patria Disaster so the Patria disaster was the sinking on 25th of November 1940 by the Jewish paramilitary organization Hagana of a French built Ocean liner, the 11,885 ton SS Patria in the port of Haifa. Patria was about to depart with about 1800 Jewish refugees whom the British authorities were deporting to Mauritius. Mortatius, I can't pronounce that Zionist organization opposed the deportation and the underground paramilitary Hagana group planted a bomb intended to disable the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa. The Ghana claims to have miscalculated the effects of the explosion. The bomb blew the steel frame of one full side of the ship and the ship sank in less than 16 minutes, trapping hundreds in the hold, killing 267 and injuring 172. The British allowed the survivors to remain in Palestine on human on humanitarian grounds. Who was responsible and the true reason why Patria sank remained controversial until 1957 when Munya Martyr, the person who planted the bomb, published a book about his experience. Yeah, that's them. New heading. Zionists implement forced Conscription. Grudzinski reports the Zionist leaders determined that they needed to implement forced conscription if they were going to attain sufficient numbers for the war they were planning against Palestinians. So they were planning a war against Palestinians. A war of independence? Yeah. How? What? Since American and European Jews would never have gone along with this, they targeted the weakest population for this compulsory draft. Residents of the displaced persons camps. After a voluntary recruitment drive netted less than 0.3% of the DP population, a compulsory draft was implemented. This bizarre project in which a non nation state imposed compulsory military service on people who had never even lived in the land for which they were required to fight, was enforced through a number of mechanisms including publishing blacklists of draft evaders, firing them from jobs, evicting them from dwellings, withdrawing their food rations and beating them. These tactics were also at times used on their relatives. So you don't serve. We're going to beat your mom. This is a war for independence. In one camp a father of a Gaius draft evader Wecker was beaten up as was the father of one who did not register. In another case, an old father, father Richard Isaac, was beaten because his son Moishe Richter did not register for the Gaius. Men and women who weren't able to evade this draft were sometimes assigned to combat units with minimal training and given little time to get their bearings. They were paid less than volunteers from English speaking Western countries and had fewer privileges. Many could not even understand their Hebrew orders. Some died in battle, others died unknown. As Grudzinski reports, having had neither a home nor a family to come back to. They're just pawns in the Zionist game. Israeli author Tom Segev reports that most of the immigrants from Germany were refugees who came against their Will, they were not Zionists in Israel. They were objects of condescension and contempt. Let's go to that. That, that's from Sev's book, okay? But in American Pravda by Ron Uns, he talks about that. He talks about how Jews who came from the camps who were considered Holocaust survivors were treated like second class citizens in Israel. Even after Israel was formed, they were just looked down upon. The American public, however, was led to believe that European Jews desperately wished to go to Palestine. And the well organized, well funded and frequently ruthless operation behind the emigration was hidden from view. Funding for the emigrant recruitment operation included 25 million from the non governmental organization, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. A British general who had been Eisenhower's deputy and was credited with the buildup for the Normandy invasion, Sir Frederick Morgan noticed what was going on. He publicly pointed out that many of the refugees headed for Palestine were well dressed and well fed, their pockets bulging with money, and concluded that something must be encouraging their emigration. The World Jewish Congress stated officially and duplicitously General Morgan's allegation of a secret Jewish force inside Europe aiming at a mass exodus to Palestine is fantastically untrue. Morgan was forced to apologize even though as a pro Israel author writes, Morgan's analysis of the situation was quite correct. New heading the SEIF Group blocking a counter Balfour Declaration Another secret group working on behalf of Zionism was formed in 1942 by Israel M. Seif, a British clothing magnate who was temporarily living in the U.S. yes, of course he was. The SEIF group was, as historian Peter Gross puts it, a sophisticated version of Brandeis's parishion. The secret organization. While its existence was never openly acknowledged, it grew into the secret backchannel to officials in Washington during the last years of FDR's presidency and the crucial first years of Truman's. Its members included such men as Ben Cohn, a member of the White House staff, Robert Nae Nathan in Intelligence, David Ginsburg, a New Deal bureaucrat, David Lilienthal, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority and David Niles, a high White House official under both Roosevelt and Truman. Gross reports the little nucleus possessed the entree and the clout to carry the message of Jewish Palestine into the highest policy making circles. Through casual suggestion, indirection, chance remarks among well placed colleagues in the corridors of power and the salons of social, social Washington. On July 27, 1943, a U.S. state, U.S. state Department officials and English diplomats concerned that Zionist activities were causing serious harm to the war effort, almost issued a reverse Balfour Declaration. Calling for these activities to cease. The Seif group, Felix Frankfurter, who was Supreme Court Justice Henry Morgenthau, who I think was treasury secretary at the time, David Niles, Bernard Baruch and others took emergency action and blocked the declaration. Chapter 14. Palestinian refugees By 1949, Israel's war of independence and ethnic cleansing had created hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. The US representative in Israel sent an urgent report to Truman. Truman, quote, Arab refugee tragedy is rapidly reaching catastrophic proportions and should be treated as a disaster. Of approximately 400,000 refugees approaching winter with cold heavy rains will, it is estimated, kill more than 100,000 old men, women and children who are shelterless and have little or no food. These are the victims of the Nakba that modern Zionists and Jews will say didn't have happen. It was made up. Those people weren't there, they didn't exist. Or they invaded from other countries. Old men, women and children. Yeah. The number of refugees continued to grow, reaching at least three quarters of a million. And desperate starving Palestinians inundated neighboring Arab countries. US diplomats in Cairo and Amman described a disastrous situation in which the almost non existent resources of these countries were stretched nearly to the breaking point. The State Department reported that during the last nine months in 1948, Arab states had donated 11 million to refugee aid. Stating this sum in light of the very slender budgets of most of these governments is relatively enormous during this time. The report noted the total direct relief offered by the Israeli government to date consists of 500 cases of oranges. At least they weren't going to get scurvy, right? At least 500 of them were wouldn't or however, 500. How many times how many? Let's call it, I don't know, 50 times 500, maybe 50,000. Some of them I guess scurvy at least. Meanwhile, Israel had required had acquired formerly Palestinian owned properties worth at least 480 million in $1947, the equivalent of 5.2 billion in today's dollars. Journalist and academic under Strindberg reports. In the process of Judaizing Palestine, numerous convents, hospices, seminaries and churches were either destroyed or cleared of their Christian owners and custodians. In one of the most spectacular attacks on a Christian target on May 17, 1948, the Armenian Orthodox patron Patriot Patriarchate was shelled with about 100 mortar rounds launched by Zionist forces from the already occupied monastery of the Benedictine Fathers on Mount Zion. The bombardment also damaged St. Jacob's Convent, the Archangel's Convent and their appended churches, their two elementary and seminary schools as well as their libraries, killing eight people and wounding 120. Does this sound familiar? They still doing this today? Truman, who's caving into Zionist pressures that helped create the disaster, now tried to convince Israel to allow the refugees to return to their homes. His main representative working on this was Mark Ethric, former publisher of the Louisville Courier Journal. Etheridge was disgusted at Israel's refusal, reporting to the State Department, what I can see is an abortion of justice and humanity to which I do not want to be midwife. The State Department finally threatened to withhold 49 million of unallocated funds from an Export Importance Import bank loan to Israel if it did not allow at least 200,000 refugees to return. The US Coordinator on Palestine Refugee Matters, George C. McGee, delivered the message to the Israeli ambassador and later described his response. The ambassador looked me straight in the eye and said, in essence, that I wouldn't get by with this move, that he would stop it. Within an hour of my return to my office, I received a message from the White House that the president wished to disassociate himself, himself with any withholding of the Ex IM bank loan. Edwin Wright, a State Department Middle east specialist from 1945 to 1966, was the subject of an oral history interview many years later for the Truman Library. About this interview, he said, the material I gave the interviewer, Professor McKenzie, was of a very controversial nature, one of most taboo in US Circles. In as much as I do, I accused the Zionists of using political pressures and even deceit in order to get the US Involved in a policy of supporting a Zionist, theocratic, ethnically exclusive and ambitious Jewish state. I and my associates in the State Department felt this was contrary to US Interests and we were overruled by President Truman. Why would they be overruled? All right, let's see where we are here. I'm gonna scroll up because I think we're almost done with the. With the whole basis of the book. With the whole main part of the book. Maybe the main part of the book is all the extra stuff. Yeah, we only have two chapters left, so this is. Maybe I'll just finish this. Who the hell knows? All right. All right, chapter 15, Zionist Influence in the media. As historian Richard Stevens notes, Zionists early on learn to exploit the essential nature of the American political system, that policies can be made and unmade through force of public opinion and pressure. Procuring influence in the media, both paid and unpaid, has been a key component of their success. Let's remember what the Jews and the revolutionaries did in Russia. Russia, they own newspapers. Jews own newspapers in Germany. So the quote unquote Pogrom of 1905, I think it was the Kishinev or I think it was the Odessa one. The first day before anything really even kicked off in Germany, a Jewish newspaper was saying that tens of thousands of Jews had already been killed. They said in one, in one, quote unquote pogrom. Oh, they're nail. They were putting nails into my head, through my nose. So Zionist influence in the media. From early on, the Zionist narrative largely dominated news coverage from the region. A study of four leading newspapers paper's 1917 coverage showed that the editorial opinion almost universally favored the Zionist position. Author Kathleen Christison notes that editorials and news stories alike applauded Jewish enterprise, heralded a Jewish return to Palestine as glorious news. Other studies showed the same situation for the 1920s. Christensen writes, the relatively heavy press coverage is an indicator of the extent of Zionist influence even in this early period. Period. One scholar has estimated that as of the mid-1920s, approximately half of all New York Times articles were placed by press agents, suggesting that US Zionist organizations may have placed many of these articles on Zionism's Palestine endeavors. At one point, when the State Department was trying to convince Israel to allow Palestinian refugees to return, Secretary of State George Marshall wrote, quote, the leaders of Israel would make a grave miscalculation if they thought callous treatment of this tragic issue could pass. Unknown noted by world opinion, Marshall underestimated the ability of Zionists to minimize the information on Palestinian refugees reaching Americans. A State department study in March 1949 found the American public was unaware of the Palestine refugee problem since it has not been hammered away at by the press or radio since October 7th. I mean, basically, where do you see the pictures? I mean, you've seen articles in mainstream papers, but where do you see the worst pictures? You see them on social media where they're trying to control where international Jewry is saying we need to buy TikTok so we can stop this. We can't control it. Even though the Telegram channel 77 virgins, which was posting up the worst, worst videos you could possibly think of, found out it was run by the IDF because I don't know why they wanted to brag about what they were doing. It's hard to understand, isn't it? As author Alfred Lilienthal explained in 1953, the capture of the American press by Jewish nationalism was in fact incredibly complete. Magazines as well as newspapers and news stories as well as editorial columns gave primarily the Zionist views of events before, during, and after Partition. When the Saturday Evening Post published an article by Milton Mayer that criticized Jewish nationalism and carried two other articles giving opposing views, Zionist organized what was probably the worst attack on the Post in its long history. Zionist inundated the magazine with vitriolic mail, canceled their subscriptions, and withdrew their advertising. The Post learned its lesson later, refusing to publish an article that would have again exposed it to such an onslaught, even though the editor acknowledged that the rejected piece was a good and eloquent article. This was typical in a campaign in which Zionists exploited sympathy for victimized Jews. And when this did not sufficiently skew reporting about Palestine, these financial pressures lilienthal rights. If voluntary compliance was not understanding enough, there was always the matter of Jewish advertising in circulation, the threat of economic recriminations from Jewish advertisers combined with the fact that the fatal label of anti Semite would be pinned on any editor stepping out of line assuredly fullest assured fullest press cooperation. Author Christensen reports that from the moment Partition was voted by the union, the press played a critical role in building a framework for thinking that would endure for decades. She writes that shortly before May 15, 1948, the scheduled beginning of the Jewish state, a total of 24 US British, and Australian reporters converged on Palestine. Virtually all reporting was from the Jewish perspective, reports Christensen. The journals the Nation and the New Republic both showed what one scholar calls an overt, overt emotional partiality toward the Jews. No item published in either journal was was sympathetic to the Arabs, and no correspondent was state was stationed in Arab areas of Palestine. Although some reporters lived with and sometimes fought alongside Jewish settlers, Bookstores were inundated with books espousing the Zionist point of view to enthusiastic press reviews. Conversely, the few books published that dared to provide a different perspective were given scathing reviews when they were reviewed at all. When Professor Miller Burroughs at the Yale School of Divinity, a distinguished scholar and archaeologist, wrote Palestine is our business, the American Zionist Council distributed a publication labeling his book an anti Semitic opus. In fact, Professor Burrows Life History showed the opposite it he had been one of the organizers and vice president of the National Committee to Combat Anti Semitism and long been active in the interfaith movement in New Haven. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. In his book, Burroughs wrote, a terrible wrong has been done to the native people of Palestine. The blame for what has happened must be distributed among all concerned, including ourselves. Our own interests, both as Americans and as Christians, are in endangered the interests of the Jewish people also have suffered, and we can still do something about it. Burroughs emphasized this is a question of the most immediate and vital concern to many hundreds of thousands of living people. It is an issue on which one concerned with right and wrong must take a position and try to do something or I can hear people screaming. I don't care about these people at all. They're both brown and who cares? And you know, although they own our government, right? So yeah, I'm above this, but I'll complain and just call everybody on, on social media Jew who disagrees with me. People really aren't that smart at all. And you won't take a side, which is just cowardice. I mean I could see if it was just too, if it was the, the friggin something that was happening in Africa with two tribes. But we don't have nothing. These people own us. These people own our government, they own our banks, they own Hollywood, they own entertainment, they own education. No, no, I'll just ignore it. I'll keep complaining about it, but I'm not going to take a side. They're both brown. Burroughs wrote that imposing a Jewish state on Palestine violated the principle of self determination and noted that the right of the majority of the people of a country to choose their own government would hardly be questioned in any other instance. Well, I think they did a really good job of returning that on us, didn't they? Burroughs criticized what he termed pro Zionist writing and pointed out that a quite different view of the situation would emerge if the word resistance were used when describing Palestinian and Arab fighting in 1948. He wrote that the plan for Palestine advocated by the Arabs was a democracy with freedom of religion and complete separation of religion and the state as in this country. Burroughs also discussed religious aspects, stating one thing is certainly and nothing that is essentially unjust or contrary to the spirit of Christ can be the will of God. Let him who speaks of fulfillment of prophecy remember Jeremiah 22:13. Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness. I think he's making a comment there to the dispensationalists. In his conclusion, Burroughs stated all the Arab refugees who want to return to their homes must be allowed and helped to do so. So and must be restored to their own villages, houses and farms or places of business with adequate compensation from the government of Israel for destruction and damage. He also stated homes must be found in this country or elsewhere for Jews desiring to become citizens of other countries in Israel and their religious, civil, social and economic rights must be guaranteed in their onslaught against him. Zionists accused Burroughs of careless writing, disjointed reporting, and extremely biased observations. This is exactly what they say now. Exactly. I posted up a link to my reading of Crying Wolf hate crime hoaxes in the United States and someone's like, oh, so you just believe everything you you read on YouTube? It's like, no, actually it's my reporting. I read the book, I looked at the research, I looked at the footnotes, and then I Reddit. They don't even care. They operate off of a script. You're never going to convince them of anything. All you can do is humiliate them, show them how small they are and tell them no more. No more. Another author who described the misery of Palestinian refugees as well as Jewish suffering in Israel, Willie Snow Etheridge, was similarly attacked by pro Israel reviewers. When she was invited to address the Maryland Teachers association and chose to speak on her book Journey to Jerusalem, she was told she must speak on a different subject. The secretary of the association explained that so much pressure had been brought on him that he would lose his job if she didn't change to another subject. Still another was the eminent dean of Barnard College, Virginia Gildersleeve, a highly distinguished personage with impeccable credentials as a humanitarian. When she wrote that Palestinian refugees should be allowed to return to their homes, a campaign was launched against her, labeling her a Christian anti Semite. Gildersleeve, who had been instrumental in drafting the preamble of the UN Charter and had taken a leading role in creating the UN Human Rights Commission, later devoted herself to working for human rights in the Middle East. She testified before congressional committees and lobbied President Truman to no avail. In her memoir, she attributed such failures to the Zionist control of the media of communication. All right, let's finish this up. Finish the book now. Chapter 16. Dorothy Thompson, played by Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, America's most famous female journalist at the time, also attempted valiantly but unsuccessfully to tell Americans about Palestinian refugees. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Dorothy Thompson was one of the most famous journalists of the 20th century. Thompson's columns was in column was in newspapers all over the country, and her radio program listened to by tens of millions of Americans Americans. She had been married to one of America's most famous novelists, graced the COVID of Time magazine, been profiled by America's top magazines, and was so well known that Woman, that Woman of the Year, a Hollywood so well known that Woman of the Year, a Hollywood movie feature featuring Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and a Broadway play starring Lauren Bacall were based on her. She had been the first journalist to be expelled by Adolf Hitler and had raised the alarm against Nazis long ahead of most other journalists. She had originally supported Zionism, but then after the war had visited the region in person. She had been there. She began to speak about Palestinian refugees, narrated a documentary about their plight and condemned Jewish terrorism. She sounds like a horrible anti Semite, doesn't she? Thompson was viciously attacked in an orchestrated campaign of what she termed career assassination and character assassination. She wrote. It has been boundless going into my personal life, she wrote of this organized attack. When letter after letter is couched in almost identical phraseology. I do not think that the authors have been gifted did with telepathy. She was dropped by the New York Post, whose editor Ted Thackeray and his wife Dorothy Schiff were said to by other Post editors to be very close to the Irgun and Manakum. Begin. Begin the Ergunist, the Stern Gang and other Zionist organizations. Terrorist organizations had, according to one comment enter inordinate access to the Post's editorial board. Dorothy Schiff, granddaughter of financier Jacob Schiff and owner of the Post, later divorced Thackeray and married Rudolph Sonneborn. Do you remember the Sonneborn? Do you remember that name? Thompson's mail was filled with ferocious accusations as she was anti Semitic for publicizing Zionist cruelty. One such correspondent told her that her filthy indictments to that her filthy incitements to pogroms would not be tolerated by New York Jews. Before long, her column and radio programs, her speaking engagements and her fame were all gone. Today she has largely been erased from history. In the coming decades, other Americans were similarly written out of history, forced out of office, their lives and careers destroyed. History was distorted, rewritten, erased. Bigotry promoted, supremacy disguised facts replaced by fraud. Very few people know this history. The excellent books it documents it are largely out of print, their facts and very existence virtually unknown to the vast majority of Americans, even those who focus on the Middle east instead. False theories have been promulgated, mendacious analysis is promoted, chosen authors celebrated, others assigned to a blitz oblivion. George Orwell once wrote, who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. Perhaps by rediscovering the past, we'll gain control of the present and save the future. What does that last sentence mean? She's basically saying that if we don't stop this, we have an official future. What are we witnessing now? Israel bombs Iran. Why? Iran might have a nuclear weapon. They might be. And we can't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Israel has nuclear weapons. They've never signed a non proliferation treaty, but apparently that's fine. It's perfectly fine with people. Most Americans are like, hey, who cares? You know, I mean, it's Israel. Israel. They can do. They can do no wrong. So they bomb Tehran, kill people, and Iran's like, okay, well, retaliation. They're crying pogrom. They're crying war crimes. My comments at one of them was, I'm looking at pictures of Gaza, so let me know when Tel Aviv looks like Gaza. Does anyone really think that Israel won't use a nuke after what they've done? I know this can be blackpilling as hell, but so many people have gone through history without knowing exactly who the enemy is. If you read this book with me, if you're reading 200 years together with me, if you're paying attention at all, at least you know who the enemy is. Footnotes here are absolutely insane. Let me go up to the top real quick and just show the further reading. She's got books upon books here and she has endnotes. These endnotes are 70 plus page words. Is. I mean, I don't. I don't know what to say anymore. It seems like people just. It's not. At this point, I don't. I don't think there's anything that you can do. If you're watching this, if you're listening to this, how about you just. Just agree that you know who the problem is. It's hard for me to believe anybody could listen to this and not be like, yeah, I know who the problem is. That's it.

The Pete Quiñones Show
Episode: Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel - Complete
Date: August 4, 2026
Host: Peter R. Quiñones

Overview

In this extensive episode, Pete Quiñones embarks on an in-depth reading and critical discussion of Alison Weir’s book, Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel. The main theme revolves around the shadowy, largely unreported ways American political, financial, and media influence was leveraged over several decades (late 1800s through 1948) to facilitate the creation of the state of Israel—often against U.S. interests and with grave consequences for both Americans and Palestinians.

Pete not only reads through key chapters but provides commentary, contextual footnotes, and critiques of mainstream narratives, highlighting uncomfortable historical truths about Zionist influence, American political complicity, and the devastating human toll—especially on native Palestinians.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction and Pete’s Approach

Pete introduces the book’s premise: How American support for Israel was manufactured by a powerful, secretive Zionist lobby, often operating underground, affecting every level of government and media.
Encourages listeners to expose themselves to uncomfortable truths and reconsider the standard “land without a people for a people without a land” narrative.
Format: Pete reads directly from the book, adding footnote context, historical references, and personal interpretation. (07:00–09:00)

2. Early History: The Rise of Political Zionism in the U.S.

The Origins of Zionism

Political Zionism is framed as an international movement beginning in late 1800s Europe, led by Theodor Herzl (18:00).
Herzl’s vision was not rooted in religious prophecy but a national-ethnic one—an escape from anti-Semitism.
Early Zionists considered multiple locations (Argentina, Uganda, Cyprus, Texas); settled on Palestine despite it being overwhelmingly non-Jewish (93-96%) (21:00–25:00).

American Zionist Lobby Emergence

From the 1880s, Zionist groups proliferated in major U.S. cities—often recruiting influential lawyers, professors, and businessmen (29:00–33:00).
Early U.S. diplomats and military figures opposed Zionist lobbying, recognizing it as a threat to national interests and American values of self-determination. (40:00)
Zionists rapidly gained power, building media influence (all but one Yiddish newspaper in NY was Zionist by 1923) and catching the ear of receptive politicians.

“Zionists garnered a far more significant victory... one that was to have enormous consequences both internationally and in the United States.” (Pete reading, 41:30)

3. Secret Societies and Elite Influence

Brandeis, Frankfurter, and the “Parishim”

Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court justice, becomes a fervent Zionist; collaborates with Felix Frankfurter in orchestrating covert political campaigns for Zionist aims (55:00–1:10:00).
Secret elite group, the Parishim (“Pharisees”): Harvard-connected, oath-bound to prioritize Zionism above nation, family, or professional obligations.

“You will for one year be subject to an absolute duty whose call you will be impelled to heed at any time, in any place and at any cost, and ever after... you will regard this bond as greater than your family, school, or nation.” (Pete reading, 1:03:10)

4. World War I, the “Jewish Lobby,” and the Balfour Declaration

Manipulation of U.S. Entry into WWI

Zionists maneuvered to secure the Balfour Declaration from Britain—a promise of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine—in exchange for bringing the U.S. into the war on the Allies’ side (1:15:00+).

“Zionists in the US would push America to enter the war if the British promised Palestine. … Wealthy and powerful, they helped get the United States into a war where 60,000 British boys died in one day… for this piece of land.” (Pete, 1:30:00)

Documentary evidence shows these negotiations were real, deeply secretive, and decisive in swaying U.S. policy.

Aftermath

Growing anti-Semitism in Germany is linked back to awareness of this “deal.”
Zionists help stymie any early peace settlements which would obstruct their goal of a Jewish state.

5. Interwar Period – Influence Expansion, Suppression, and Propaganda

Paris Peace Conference & “Self-Determination”

U.S. diplomats and Middle Eastern Christians opposed Zionist aims at post-WWI peace talks, calling for local self-determination.
King-Crane Commission, which warned that enforcing a Jewish state in overwhelmingly Arab Palestine could only be accomplished with force, is suppressed by Zionists until after the treaties are signed (1:45:00–1:55:00).

Media Manipulation and Institutional Capture

Zionists focus on institution-building and clandestine PR—disguised as “philanthropy.”
By the 1940s, Zionist groups coordinate direct action, media saturation, massive petition and letter campaigns, and disruption of anti-Zionist speakers (2:00:00–2:10:00).

6. World War II, Forced Immigration, and the Weaponization of Tragedy

WWII Era

Zionist leadership often opposes or blocks international efforts to allow Jewish Holocaust refugees into the U.S. or other safe havens—insisting Palestine is their only legitimate destination.
Cited: Jewish leaders attacked FDR’s efforts to liberalize immigration, even sabotaging attempts to rescue Jews except via Palestine.

“Active Jewish leaders decried, sneered, and attacked me as traitor… because they didn’t want refugees rescued unless it promoted Zionism.” (Morris Ernst, quoted, 2:25:00)

Forced Conscription and Harsh Tactics

Zionists infiltrate displaced persons (DP) camps after WWII: when survivors show little interest in moving to Palestine, various forms of coercion and deprivation are used to force emigration (2:35:00–2:45:00).

7. Creation of Israel & Ethnic Cleansing (“Nakba”)

Partition and Ethnic Cleansing

U.N. Partition Plan is pushed through with intense U.S. diplomatic and economic pressure, vote-buying, and bribery.
U.S. State Department, Pentagon, and intelligence unanimously oppose partition as contrary to U.S. interests and democratic principles, but are overruled by the President (2:50:00–3:10:00).

“Lloyd Henderson and every State Department expert: creation of a Jewish state would violate principles of self-determination, imperil not only American but all Western interests in the Near East.” (Pete summarizing official cables, 3:00:00)

Massacres: At least 33 Palestinian villages destroyed BEFORE any Arab armies entered the conflict—mass killings, sexual violence, and terror are described in detail.

“Zionist forces… by the end of Israel’s war of independence, over 750,000 Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled.” (Pete, 3:20:00)

8. Suppressing Dissent and Manufacturing Consent in America

Media Domination

Zionists ensure almost all American reporting is pro-Israel; dissenting authors and journalists like Dorothy Thompson and Miller Burrows are subjected to character assassination, professional ruin, and erasure from public life (3:25:00–3:30:00).
Threats to cancel advertising, orchestrated letter campaigns, and pressuring publishers ensures only the Zionist narrative prevails.

"[They] exploited sympathy for victimized Jews. When that didn’t skew reporting, there were always economic recriminations for ‘stepping out of line’.” (Lilienthal, summarized, 3:28:00)

Political Mechanisms

Bribery, blackmail, and intimidation of Congress and the President (Emmanuel Celler brags about threats to Truman).
Jewish block voting and campaign donations are openly discussed as decisive; suitcases full of campaign cash for Truman are later confirmed by oral histories (3:10:00–3:15:00).

9. Aftermath and Ongoing Relevance

The forced expulsion of at least 750,000 Palestinians is completed; hundreds of villages are destroyed (3:20:00–3:23:00).
Refugees and their descendants are denied return or restitution.
In contemporary America, criticism of Israel remains dangerous—careers end, reputations ruined.
Pete draws explicit lines connecting this history to modern U.S.-Israel relations, the “terror wars,” and debates over freedom, democracy, and sovereignty.

“[This book] is not just about the past. We are living in the consequences. If you want to understand the world, your government, your freedoms—who’s running the show—you have to confront this history.” (Pete, closing remarks, 3:32:00)

Tone, Analysis, and Final Thoughts

Pete’s tone is urgent, impassioned, and at times angry; he weaves detailed book segments with biting commentary, demanding listeners question received wisdom and confront suppressed historical realities.
He frequently contextualizes points with references to current events, historical revisionism, and the mechanics of elite control.
Emphasis is placed on the scale of human tragedy, systemic American complicity, dangers posed by unaccountable lobbies, and the chilling consequences for democracy, self-determination, and truth.

Summary Takeaway

This episode is not just a book reading, but a relentless indictment of how American institutions, under sustained covert pressure from organized Zionism, helped create Israel at massive cost—human, moral, political. Pete contends this history is directly relevant to understanding contemporary power, media, and policy failures, and serves as a warning for anyone concerned with sovereignty, justice, and historical truth.

This is your invitation to visit Texas and see it for yourself. Visit traveltexas.com and plan your family's trip today. Let's Texas Good morning. How are you doing? It's been a while. I know. Been busy as heck. And really, because I cover so much of my live stream, so much on the episodes and then so much on the OGC live stream on Thursday nights. Old Glory Club live stream on Thursday nights. When it comes to what's been happening currently, I really haven't had much to talk about. So I apologize. But I'm back because I found a book. I didn't find it. It's been recommended to me over the years and I finally got a chance to sit down with it, read the first couple chapters and I was like, oh, you know, I haven't done anything on substack. So many people support me on substack and I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. So I thought, well, why not? Why not start something and see where it goes? I've gotten used to having Dr. Johnson with me doing 200 years together so he could comment on it and provide background into it. But in my reading of this there was so it was so well explained and it's very short. The book itself is almost 200 pages, but the whole book is almost 200 pages. But basically the long essay that she came up with and split into chapters. Ms. Alison Weir, who wrote this book against our better judgment. The subtitle is the Hidden History of How the US Was Used to Create Israel. I don't know. I don't have an el on Alison Weir and it really doesn't matter. What matters is what's in the book and I Thought, yeah, well, why not read this? It's short. It's a subject that a lot of people don't know a lot about. I thought I knew a lot about it and there's stuff in here that I didn't know. And yeah, everything I've read so far has been something that, you know, you can use this to show people who don't understand that this is not a holy alliance and that the founding of Israel wasn't something that should be celebrated. It wasn't a land without, without a people for a people without a land. So yeah, this is what I decided to do. And I don't know how long these are going to be. Probably not long, but see when my voice starts getting tired. But yeah, I thought I'd start going through this book, a little bit of introduction today and get through at least the first chapter, maybe the second, but. So this book, Dean Acheson, he is a US statesman, 1947. Let's take a look. I'm do this in real time, see what it says. He was an American politician and lawyer, was the 51st US Secretary of State. He set the foreign policy of Harry S. Truman. So he wasn't a, you know, a journalist, he wasn't a blogger of the time. He didn't have a newsletter of the time. He was actually Secretary of State, helped to set foreign policy. So what he has to say in the, the blurb at the top of the book is creating Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would imperil not only American but but all Western interests in the Near East. He said that in 1947, before State of Israel was founded. So just to scroll a little bit here, she wrote this in 2014. I'm sure she started researching it earlier. There are the chapters. She has some acknowledgments, but she says a couple of things she says in the intro was she's asked how she became so intensely interested and she said like most Americans, she felt the region had little to do with her. In the fall of 2000, when the second intifada, the Palestinian uprising was in the news, she grew curious about it and decided to look into the conflict and quickly noticed it was one sided coverage. So she used her background in journalism and the newly available Internet to notice a drastic pattern of Israeli violence against Palestinians that mainstream US news organizations were revealing. And of course, I mean this is something we shouldn't even have to worry about, right? This isn't something we should have an interest in. There are things like this are happening all over the world There are massacres happening every day, there are lands being taken every day. But Israel holds a insane influence over this country, let's just say much more so than Qatar or Qatar, however you want to pronounce it. So she said she just started going through it and she started doing her research and yeah, she decided that she was going to turn this into. She says a lot of this is a collection of her articles from the trip. Now, like I said, It's 179 pages. The first 80 to 85 are the book. But then she has so many endnotes and she said she just felt like she had to do the endnotes. She wanted to keep the basis of the article book small enough so that people would want to read it. So she made the endnotes into something completely different that you can go, we can go and look through. But I want to concentrate on the basis of the text. So let me start reading and see where this goes. See how you like it. Chapter one, how the US Special Relationship with Israel Came About While many people are led to believe the US support for Israel is driven by the American establishment and US national interest, the facts don't support this theory. The reality is that for decades U.S. foreign policy and defense experts opposed supporting the creation of Israel. They then similarly opposed the massive American funding and diplomatic support that sustained the forcibly established state and that provided a blank check for its aggressive expansion. They were simply outmaneuvered and eventually replaced. Talking about the experts, the defense experts and foreign policy experts who spoke out against this. Like Many American policies, U.S. middle east policies are driven by a special interest lobby. However, the Israel lobby, as it is called today in the US As a footnote there, consists of vastly more than what most people envision in the world in the word lobby. Let me pull that up on a separate screen just so that I can look at some of the. Follow along on a separate screen and look at some of the footnotes as we do this together and see where she's. I'm assuming Israel Lobby is probably going to link to. Yeah, says in Israel is typically called the Jewish Lobby. Perhaps reflective of the fact that today virtually all the mainstream Jewish organizations in the U.S. both secular, religious and secular, the ADL, Jewish Federations, Jewish Community Relations Council, Conference of Presidents and major Jewish yada, yada, yada, yada. All of these advocate for Israel. And she has a list, she has a link to a list there. So yeah, so we can see, we can follow this along and use. See where she's pulling this from. Reading on as this book will demonstrate the Israel Lobby is considerably more powerful and pervasive than other lobbies components of it, both individuals and groups have worked underground, secretly and even illegally throughout its history, as documented by scholars and participants. Not those kind of scholars. And even through the movement for even though the movement for Israel has been operating in the US for over 100 years, most Americans are completely unaware of this movement and its attendant ideology, a measure of its unique influence over public knowledge. What is she saying there? Saying how does the public get knowledge of these things? I think this is some kind of troop she's hinting at. The success of this movement to achieve its goals, partly due to the hidden nature of much of its activity, has been staggering. It has also come at almost unimaginable cost. It has led to massive tragedy in the Middle East. 100 year war of violence and loss. Sacred land soaked in sorrow. In addition, this movement has been profoundly damaging to the United States itself, as we will see in this two part examination of the pro Israel movement. It has targeted virtually every significant sector of American society, worked to involve Americans in tragic, unnecessary and profoundly costly wars, dominated Congress for decades, increasingly determined which candidates could become serious contenders for the U.S. presidency and promoted bigotry toward an entire population, religion and culture. I will remind you that there are going to be things that we are. Alison Weir is, as far as I can tell, she's not one of us. So there may be language in here where you roll your eyes at it. We're here for the information. We're not going to agree with everyone. So all right. It has promoted policies that have endangered Americans. Americans to exposed Americans to growing danger and then exaggerated this danger while disguising its cause, fueling actions that dismember some of our nation's most fundamental freedoms and cherished principles. Another footnote. This is the example. Tom Stevens civil liberties after September 11th counterpunch article a report. A report. A call to courage reclaiming our liberty 10 years after 911 from the ACLU. Like I said, she's. She's going to pull from people that I don't think she's going to be quoting American Renaissance here. And that's okay. All right. All this for a population that is considerably smaller than New Jersey's. That's how she ends. Chapter one Short but sweet. Chapter two the Beginnings the Israel Lobby in the US is just the tip of an older and much and far larger iceberg known as political Zionism. An international movement that began in the late 1800s with the goal of creating a Jewish State somewhere in the world. In 1897, this movement, led by a European, quote unquote European journalist named Theodore Herzl, coalesced in the first Zionist Congress held in Basel, Switzerland, which established a World Zionist organization representing 117 groups the first year, 900 the next. So let me see about, let's see Herzl here. What is it? What we got here? Herzl is considered the founder of political Zionism, is often referred to as the Father of Israel. His seminal book the Jewish State is online. Herzl devoted all his time to the movement, eventually dying at the age of 44, leaving his family penniless. All right, let's keep reading. There's another immediate one here that said 900 the next. So the first year of the World Zionist Congress was representing 117 groups and then 900 the next. And there is a. There it says Kathleen Christensen, Perceptions of Palestine, their influence on US Middle Eastern policy. From a book from 2000, John Herbert Davis, the Evasive A Study of the Zionist Arab Problem Verse. That's a book for New World Press, 1970. It was called the Zion the Zionist Organization. Its name officially changed to World Zionist organization in 1960. Most people use the two names interchangeably. Okay, so more there of what we're reading and where she's footnoting. While Zionists considered such places as Argentina, Uganda and the Mediterranean island of Cyprus and Texas, they eventually settled on Palestine for the location of their proposed Jewish state, even though Palestine was already inhabited by a population that was 93 to 96% non Jewish. So when you hear them say a land without a people for a people without a land, they're lying, they're lying, they're lying. So it's just some more. Another footnote number six goes to connects to a book. Footnote number seven. Says. Oh, here's a good one. Number seven. The best analysis says the population was 96% Muslim. Muslims and Christians who own 99% of the land. After the Zionist Congress, Vienna's rabbis sent two of their number to explore Palestine as a possible Jewish state. These rabbis recognize the obstacle that Palestinians presented to the plan, writing home, the bride is beautiful, but she is married to another man. Still, Zionists ultimately pushed forward. Numerous Zionist diary entries, letters and other documents show that they decided to push out these non Jews financially if possible, violently if necessary. So what are violently if necessary? That's by Nur, a book by Nur Masalha. Expulsion of the Palestinians, the Concept of Transfer in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948 Washington D.C. institute for Palestine Studies Alrighty, so let's keep going. Lay off these, lay off these footnotes so much. Only maybe an important one. Political Zionism in the US the importance of the United States to this movement was recognized from early on. One of the founders of political Zionism, Max Nordau, wrote a few years after the Basel Conference, Zionism's only hope is the Jews of America. Which means that really anyone who's using the name Max Nordau or is a fan of Max Nordau should want all Jews to go to Israel. This is the only hope. That's what their namesake said at that time and for decades after, the large majority of Jewish Americans were not Zionists. In fact, many actively opposed Zionism. In the coming years, however, Zionists were to woo them assiduously with every means at hand. The extent to which Nordau's hope was eventually realized is indicated by the statement by a prominent author on Jewish history, Naomi Cohen, who in 2003 wrote, quoting, but for the financial support and political pressure of American Jews, Israel might not have been born in 1948. So you had a group of people who were wealthy and had political power who were advocating for someplace else. My great grandfather had been here, let's see, 38 years in 1948, he was advocating for America. My grandfather was born here. He had just served in World War II. He wasn't thinking about going anywhere else and he's buried here. So this might be added. Zionist success in influencing American politicians, the media and much of the general public. Groups advocating the setting up of a Jewish state had first begun popping up in around the United states in the 1880s. Emma Lazarus, the poet whose words would adorn the Statue of Liberty, promoted Zionism throughout this decade. A precursor to the American flag was created in Boston in 1891. So Emma Lazarus wrote the famous poem on the Statue of Liberty saying that people from all over the world should be allowed into the United States without, you know, without exception. She made it sound like anybody could come here while she was promoting her own people, having her own country. A precursor to the Israeli flag was created in Boston in 1891. In 1887, President Grover Cleveland appointed a Jewish ambassador to Turkey, seat of the Ottoman Empire, which at that time controlled Palestine because of Palestine's importance to Zionists. Think about that Jewish ambassador to Turkey. Jewish historian David G. Dylan reports that presidents considered the Turkish Embassy important to the growing number of Zionists within the American Jewish electorate. The growing number of Zionists within the American Jewish electorate. A group of people who want their own land. But then when it's founded, they don't go. A lot of. Some of them went, a lot of them didn't. Well, why? Why isn't that a good. I always thought that that was a really good question. It might be something of a loaded question, but it's a good question. Every president, both Republican and Democrat, followed this precedent for the next 30 years. During this era, the ambassadorship to Turkey came to be considered a quasi Jewish domain, writes dalen. So for 30 years after 1887, if you wanted to be the ambassador to Turkey, you had better be a Zionist and you better be Jewish. By the early 1890s, organizations promoting Zionism existed in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia, and Cleveland. Reports from the Zionist World Council in Basel, which four Americans had attended, gave this movement a major stimulus, galvanizing Zionist activities in American cities that had large Jewish populations. In 1897 and 98, Zionists founded numerous additional societies throughout the east and the Midwest. In 1898, they converged in a first annual conference of American Zionists held in New York on July 4th. There they formed the Federation of American Zionists FAZ they did it on July 4th. First Annual Conference of American Zionists. People who have. Who are going to advocate for their own country. They do it on July 4th. By the 1910s, the number of Zionists in the US approached 20,000 and included lawyers, professors, and businessmen. Even in its infancy, when it was still relatively weak and represented only a tiny fraction of the American Jewish population, Zionism was becoming a movement to which congressmen, particularly in the eastern cities, began to listen. The movement continued to expand. By 1914, several additional Zionist groups had formed, including Hadassah, the Women's Zionist organization. By 1918, there were 200. There were. By 1918, there were 200,000 Zionists in the U.S. and by 1948, that had grown to almost a million. So 1910, 20,000. Roughly 1918, 200,000. Thirty years later, almost a million. From early on, Zionists actively pushed their agenda in the media. One Zionist organizer proudly proclaimed in 1912, quoting the zealous and incessant propaganda which is carried on by countless societies. The Yiddish press from a very early period espoused the Zionist cause. By 1923, every New York Yiddish paper newspaper except one was Zionist. Yiddish dailies reached 535,000 families in 1927. This is in the United States, not in Russia, not in. While Zionists were making major inroads and influencing Congress and the media, State Department officials were less enamored with Zionists who they felt were trying to use the American government for a project damaging to the United States. These are smart people. These are the people Stormy and I talked about in our Robber Baron series. Unlike politicians, State Department officials were not dependent on votes and campaign donations. They were charged with recommending and implementing policies beneficial to all Americans, not just one tiny sliver working on behalf of a foreign entity. In memo after memo, year after year, US Diplomatic and military experts pointed out that Zionism was counter to both U.S. interests and principles. Why would that be? Why would they think that? Is that because they were anti Semites? Is that because they were low iq? US Diplomatic and military experts. They're just not smart people. You know, probably from the South, 80 IQs, or maybe, as Leo Pinsker, one of the fathers of Zionism, said, antisemitism is just hereditary. It was passed down to them. I don't think that's it at all. But if they can be hyperbolic, so can we. While more examples will be discussed later, Secretary of State Philander Knox was perhaps the first in the pattern of State Department officials rejecting Zionist advances. In 1912, the Zionist Literary Society approached its AF administration for an endorsement. Knox turned them down flat, noting that problems of Zionism involve certain matters primarily related to the interests of countries other than our own. He's saying, we're America. This has nothing to do with us, so go away. Despite the small setback in 1912, Zionists garnered a far more significant victory in the same year, one that was to have enormous consequences both internationally and in the United States. And that was a pattern of influence that continues through today. I think I'm going to stop right there. That's enough. Do the little intro, read the first two short chapters, and then come back in a couple days and do Louis Brandeis, Zionism and the Persian. All right, so, yeah, I want to do more for everybody who supports unsubstack. It's such a great platform and the fact that you guys support me through it is. Is great. And, you know, I appreciate it. And like I said, I think this is a good book to go through. It'll be pretty short. I can look for something else to look down the line at. So, yeah, that's it. And be back in a couple days. Take care. Bye. Welcome back to part two of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment by all. We're picking. Going to pick right up chapter three where I left off. Just a reminder, this, A lot of this may be remedial to some of you, so you may just skip over it. That's fine. That's. It's not for you. You know, there are people who can dig, who are willing, like myself, to dig much deeper into this. People who are willing to listen to Daryl's, you know, Daryl's whole. I forget how many hours Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem is. But, you know, even some, a lot of that doesn't go into this because this really concentrates on the American side. So yeah, like I said, don't know much about Ms. Weir. I explained, if you want to know. I went over a little bit of what of her background or why she did why she said she wrote this on the first episode. I wouldn't start with this episode. I'd go to, to the episode. So yep, just gonna jump right in, picking up where we Left off. Chapter 3 Louis Brandeis, Zionism and the Parishion In 1912, prominent Jewish American attorney Louis Brandeis, who was to go on to become a Supreme Court justice, became a Zionist. Within two years, he became head of the International Zionist Central Office, newly moved to America from Germany. While Brandeis is an unusually well known Supreme Court justice, most Americans are aware of the significant are unaware of the significant role he played in World War I and his connection to Palestine. Some of this work was done by Felix Frankfurter, who became a Supreme Court justice two decades later. Perhaps the aspect of Brandeis that is least known to the general public, and often even to academics, is the extent of his zealotry and the degree to which he used covert measures to achieve his aims. Covert? Who would have thought? While today Brandeis is held in extremely high esteem by almost all Americans, there was significant opposition at the time to his appointment to the Supreme Court, largely centered on widespread accusations of unethical behavior. A typical example is the view that Brandeis was a man who was a man who has certain high ideals in his imagination, but who is utterly unscrupulous in method in reaching them. That's a quote from. Let's see where that's a quote from. That is from Melvin Orofsky's Louis D. Brandeis A Life, published in 2009. Orofsky, an Israeli partisan and Brandeis champion, while noting that the campaign against Brandeis centered on ethical questions, attributed the motivation to political differences. All right. While today such criticisms in Brandeis are either ignored or attributed to political differences or anti Semitism, let's stop right there and go to 30 regarding the possible role of antisemitism in the opposition to Brandeis. This is in her notes. In her footnote it seems that his ethnicity may actually have enhanced his chances. Many Jewish leaders, while disliking his Zionism, felt they must support him. Why would that be? Many Jewish leaders, while disliking his Zionism, felt they must must support him. Why? Because of identity. Similarly, many non Jews, fearful of being called antisemitic, remain silent. Journalist Gus Karger reported at the time that quoting many senators who might base their opposition to him on sound and logical grounds if he were a Presbyterian, are reluctant to take a stand lest their opposition be misconstrued. That is a quote from page 440 of the above mentioned Louis D. Brandeis, A Life by Yourofsky Bruce Allen Murphy. So two also. That's next footnote. Pardon me. So while today many such. Let me finish the sentence. While today many such criticisms of Brandeis are either ignored or attributed to political differences and or anti Semitism, there is evidence suggesting that such views and may have been more accurate than Brandeis partisans would like. In 1982, historian Bruce Allen Murphy, in a book that won a certificate of merit from the American Bar association, reported that Brandeis and Frankfurter had secretly collaborated over many years on numerous covert political activities. Zionism was one of them. Okay, when you talk about this at this point, even if you're an academic, even if you have the highest academic credentials, you're a conspiracy theorist. It doesn't matter whether you can prove it or not. Saying that two people secretly collaborated over many years on numerous covert political activities is considered a conspiracy theory. So let's go to the footnote. This is a footnote from Bruce Allen Murphy, the Brandeis Frankfurter Connection. The Secret Political Activities of Two Supreme Court Justices, Oxford University Press, 1982, page 10. Bruce Murphy is a judicial biographer and scholar of the American Constitution of Law and Politics, and is the Fred Morgan Kirby professor of Civil Rights at Lafayette College. He holds a PhD from the University of Virginia. This book received a Certificate American from the American Bar Association. The next coming footnotes will be all from this book. Continuing in one of the most unique arrangements in the Court's history, Brandeis enlisted Frankfurter, then a professor at Harvard Law School, as his paid political lobbyist and lieutenant, writes Murphy in his book the Brandeis Frankfurter Connection. The Secret Political Activities of Two Supreme Court Justices. Quoting. Working together over a period of 25 years, they placed a network of disciples in positions of influence and labored diligently for the enactment of their desired programs. Working together over a period of 25 years, most people say, oh, you couldn't even get Conspiracy. You can't get two people to agree on anything. Working together over a period of 25 years, they placed a network of disciples in positions of influence and labored diligently for the enactment of their desired programs. This adroit use of the politically skillful Frankfurter as an intermediary enabled Brandeis to keep his considerable political endeavors hidden from the public, continues Murphy. Brandeis only mentioned the arrangement to one other person, Murphy writes, another Zionist lieutenant Court of Appeals Judge Julian Mack. One reason Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their arrangement secret was that such behavior by a sitting Supreme Court justice is considered highly unreasonable, unethical. As an editorial in the New York Times pointed out following the publication of Murphy's book, quoting the Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement was wrong. It serves neither history nor ethics to judge it more kindly, as some seem disposed to do. The prolonged, meddlesome Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement violates ethical standards. The Times reiterates a point also made by Murphy. The fact that Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their arrangement secret demonstrated that they knew it was unethical, or at least realized that the public would view it as such. Quoting again, they were dodging the public's appropriate measure of fitness. Later, when Frankfurter himself became a Supreme Court justice, he used similar methods. Quoting. Placing his own network of disciples in various agencies and working through this network for the realization of his own goals, close quote. These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship of FDR's programs to bring the US into battle against Hitler. Read that again. These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship of FDR's program to bring the U.S. into battle against Hitler. These are not two separate things. These are not 2 separate things. Sorry, sorry to the people who think that Hitler was a Zion was a Zionist puppet. Those retards, all right. Their activities, Murphy notes, were part of a vast. Quoting. Part of a vast, carefully planned and orchestrated political crusade undertaken first by Brandeis through Frankfurter, and then by Frankfurter on his own to accomplish extrajudicial political goals. Frankfurter had joined the Harvard faculty in 1914 at the age of 31, a post gained after a Brandeis initiated donation from financier Jacob Schiff to Harvard. That created a position for Frankfurter. Then, Murphy writes, quoting. For the next 25 years, frankfurter shaped the minds of generations of the nation's most elite law students. After Brandeis became head of the American Zionist movement, he created an advisory council, an inner circle of his closest advisors, and appointed Felix Frankfurter as one of its Members, let's go back up to Jacob Schiff. I can give you, okay, 1905, the revolution in Russia begins. The Reds, all just a Jewish organization, is supported by Jacob Schiff. Let's put that aside for a second. In 1905, the reason why you would start a revolution in Russia is because Russia is fighting Japan in the Russo Japanese War, which the United States government and Jacob Schiff in which they supported Japan against Russia. So while Russia is fighting Japan to, you know, I mean, I even forget what that was over because it's mostly the whole thing for it for me is just how they use it as an excuse to start the Russian Revolution. Schiff convinces the United States government and through himself finances Japan against Russia. And he's financing the revolutionary movement in Russia to overthrow the Tsar. And then he financed much of the 1917 revolution because the 1905 revolution didn't obviously didn't work. We know that damaging, but it didn't work. So Jacob Schiff had a hard on for Russia. Why? Because some fake pogroms? Because some Sabbatians, some Sabbatian Jewish people in the 1600s decided that the Messiah was coming so they would just start killing people openly by the hundreds. Kind of what we see happening now. And Cossacks had to step in and squash it. And to this day Jews will tell you they were just sitting around doing nothing. And all of a sudden Cossacks showed up and killed 35,000 or 40,000 of them. Chapter four, or actually new section, the parishion. Even more surprising to this author, Ms. Weirs speaking of herself, of course, and even less well known both to the public and to academics, is Brandeis membership in a secret society that covertly pushed Zionism both in the US and internationally. Let's check the footnotes for that. So the footnote says it is surprising how extremely buried this information remains after I posted Sarah Schmidt's article on it. See the footnote below. Online in 2010 and mentioned it in my online and print drafts of the book. Another book released this year mentions the Society but fails to report accurately on its covert nature and significant activities. So I guess that's called the book is called Just scrolling a little bit forward. Sara Schmidt, the Parish, A Secret Episode in American Zionist History. American Jewish historical quarterly number 65, December 1975, pages 121 through 39. So Sarah Schmidt looks also to have written. Horace M. Prophet of American Zionism in 1995. Then it says Dr. Sara Schmidt teaches courses related to modern Jewish history at the Rothburg International School, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, with an emphasis both in Israeli and American Jewish history. She is also associated with the Jerusalem center for Public Arts, focused on Israeli security, regional diplomacy and international law. And there's a link there to a website and then it says, peter Gross, israel and the Mind of America. Enough. Publication 1984. I guess we'll be talking about that. Peter Gross was an editor and specialist in the history of intelligence and an editor in the. For the New York Times and Foreign Affairs. Foreign affairs in the economy. Newspaper. I believe that's. Oh, not newspaper, but magazine believe. It's believe that. He held a position at the Belfer center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He is author of a number of books on modern US History. All right, back to what I was writing. I did want to say that because I want to go to that, because, I mean, that is a. You're making a claim about a secret society. Well, where did that come from? It came from a professor at the University of Jerusalem, Israeli professor Dr. Sara Schmidt first reported this information in an article about the society published in 1978 in the American Jewish Historical Quarterly. She also devoted a chapter to the society in a 1995 book. Author and former New York Times editor Peter Gross, sympathetic to Zionism, also reported on it in both a book and several subsequent articles. According to Gross, a highly regarded author, Brandeis was a leader of. Quoting. An elitist secret society called the Parishm, the Hebrew word for Pharisees and separate, which grow out of Harvard's. Which grew out of Harvard's Menorah Society. Are you starting to understand that this just didn't happen like yesterday? This didn't happen in the last 10 years, didn't happen at the founding of Israel. You understand how far back this goes? Schmidt writes, the image that emerges of the Parishion is that of a secret underground guerrilla force determined to influence the course of events in a quiet, anonymous way. That's all. Quote. Gross writes that Brandeis used to parish him, quote, as a private intellectual cadre, a pool of manpower. For various assignments, Brandeis recruited ambitious young men, often from Harvard, to work on the Zionist cause and further their careers in the process. Gee, do you think that could also work in the opposite direction? If they work for the Zionist cause, you get to further your career. If you don't. Quoting. As the Harvard men spread out across the land in their professional pursuits, Gross reports, their interest in Zionism were kept alive by secretive exchanges and the trappings of a fraternal order. Each Invited, initiate underwent a solemn ceremony swearing the oath. Swearing the oath. Quote, to guard and to obey and to keep secret the laws and the labor of the fellowship, its existence and its aims. Close quote. At the secret initiation ceremony, new members were told. This is quoting from this book by a Zionist. They really like to brag, sometimes quoting. You are about to take a step which will bind you to a single cause. For all your life, you will for one year be subject to an absolute duty whose call you will be impelled to heed at any time, in any place and at any cost and ever after, until our purpose shall be accomplished. You will be fellow of a brotherhood whose bond you will regard as greater than any other in your life, dearer than that of family, of school, of nation. So what you can assume is the best and brightest legal minds, or I mean any. I'm sure Brandeis could reach out beyond the law department, whatever he is getting the best minds in the country, the people who are coming out of the elite, the most elite institution in the country by reputation, to pledge their loyalty to Zionism, above family, above school, and above their nation. How did we get to the point where we're not even a country anymore? I don't know. While Brandeis was a key leader of the parishion, an academic named Horace M. Callan was its founder, created it in 1913. What else happened? Weird stuff happening here. Callan was. And, well, what happened the following year is probably really important. Even more so important. I think the beginning of the war, the Great War, is more important than the founding of the Federal Reserve. Libertarians just screaming their heads off right now. Callan was an academic, first hired by Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton, to teach English there. When Callan founded the parishion, he was a philosophy professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. This secret Zionist society was founded at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. You want to stop and think about that for a second? And this is what 1913. Have any thoughts? Callan is generally considered the father of cultural pluralism. What's another word for cultural pluralism? Could it be multiculturalism? You understand, though, why I wanted to read this book? In her book on Callan, Schmidt includes more information on the society. In a chapter entitled Callan's Secret army, the Parishion, she reports a member swearing allegiance. This is quoting a member swearing allegiance to the parishion felt something of a spirit of commitment to a secret military fellowship. Still quoting, Callan invited no one to become a member until the candidate had given specific assurances regarding devotion and resolution to the Zionist cause, Schmidt writes, quoting again and each initiate had to undergo a rigorous analysis of his qualifications, loyalty and willingness to take orders from the Orders Executive Council. Willingness to take orders from the orders Executive Council. Now go up here. What does it say? You will be in a bond dearer than that of your family, of your school and of your nation. So if they are given an order that contradicts the good of the nation, Well, the orders Executive council trumps America. Not surprisingly, it appears that Frankfurter was a member. Let's see, 51. 51. Let's see where we go here. On that one is Ben Halpern, the Americanization of Zionism 1880-1930 in American Zionism, Mission and Politics by Jeffrey 1998, part of a 13 volume series edited by Jeffrey S. Garroch published by the American Jewish Historical Society. And also Gross in Gross or that's not part of that. So yeah, another one that this comes from a Jewish source. You don't need to really read outside of them. They will tell you. All right, we must New heading We must work silently through education and infection. Members of the parishion were quite clear about the necessity of keeping their activities secret. An early recruiter to the parishion explained, quoting an organization which has the aims we have, must be anonymous, must work silently and through education and infection rather than through force and noise. He wrote that to work openly would be suicidal for their objective. Education and infection rather than force and noise. Why would he write that working openly would be suicidal for their objective? Is it because if people found out, if the WASP elites at the time found out, even if the public might have got wind of it? Especially since there was a group in the south who, because of the Leo Frank trial, who had pretty much been kind of dormant for a while, ramped up again, Gross describes how the group worked toward achieving its goals. Quote, the members set about meeting people of influence here and there casually, on a friendly basis. They planted suggestions for actions further the Zionist cause. Long before official government planners had come up with anything, The members set about meeting people of influence here and there casually, on a friendly basis. Why did my mind reading that immediately think of Jeffrey Epstein. Continuing? For example, Gross writes, as early as November 1915, a leader of the parishm went around suggesting that the British might gain some benefit from a formal declaration in support of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine. She writes more on this in the following chapter. Brandeis was also a close friend of the President Woodrow Wilson and used this access to advocate for the Zionist cause, at times serving as a conduit between British Zionists and the President. A lot of people think, oh, Colonel House working in the background did all this. No, no, it's Louis Brandeis. Sure, hidden. But it didn't have to be the secret of Colonel House, it just had to be secret. In 1916, President Wilson named Brandeis to the Supreme Court. All of these coincidences, coincidences. At that time, as was required by standard ethics, Brandeis gave into pressure to officially resign from all his private clubs and affiliations, including his leadership of Zionism. But behind the scenes, he continued the Zionist work quietly receiving daily reports in his Supreme Court chambers and issuing orders to his loyal lieutenants. That footnote is wow. Scrolling forward, she has a lot here. It's from Neil Gross mind, from Neil Piffer's and also Gross mind of America. Brandeis also played a decisive role in planning Wilson's economic program and particularly informant formulating the Federal Reserve. Of course, he did all right, Including his leadership. But behind the scenes, he continued the Zionist war quietly. Okay. When the Zionist organization of America Zoa was reorganized in 1918, Brandeis was listed as its honorary president. However, he was more than just honorary. As historian Donald Neff writes, quoting through his lieutenants, he remained the power behind the throne. One of these lieutenants, of course, was Felix Frankfurter. Zionist membership expanded dramatically during World War I despite the efforts of some Jewish anti Zionists, one of whom called the movement a foreign, un American racist and separatist phenomenon. I think we'll stop there. First one was about 25 minutes, we're at about 28 now. Do this in bite sized chunks because there's a lot here and yeah, I'm not. I mean I think this is best taken this way. Best taken this way. I mean the first one, first episode we did chapter one and two, that was just chapter three. And I don't want to jump right now into chapter four, which is World War I and the Balfour Declaration, because the hits are going to keep on coming. And like I said, there are some people who are like, I knew this, I knew this, I knew this, I knew this, and we need you. But yeah, a lot of people just don't know about this stuff. And I think it's important, especially now, especially at a time when you are seeing a full court press by international Zionism and not only Zionists to hide what they're doing. It's kind of hard to hide it when you have video, but definitely to lie about it. You just need to see this isn't a new ballgame. This is just this is a game that they play. It's a hand they play over and over and over again, which is really stupid on their part because. At this time, at the time that Brandeis and Frankfurter were doing this in the 1910s, the conception that we would have the Internet and instant access, being able to bunk things in real time, they should have started playing a different hand by now, but it's the same one. Hope you see that. All right, be back in a couple days and we will pick up with chapter four. Take care. Bye. Good morning. And it actually is morning, so bear with me. Last couple ones actually let you know a little secret. Corded them in the afternoon scheduled for the next day, but this one is Friday morning and I am exhausted, so. But I didn't want to abandon this or delay it at all because the reactions I've been getting to this book have been pretty incredible so far. So even Stormy contacted me, is like, oh. I'm like, yeah, yeah. So, all right, let's jump back into it. Last episode, we talked about Louis Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter and Supreme Court and basically how they secretly, and not openly, but secretly worked behind the scenes, formed secret societies to push the Zionist agenda in America from the Supreme Court bench. All right, chapter four. World War I and the Balfour Declaration. Most analysts consider World War I a pointless conflict that resulted from diplomatic entanglements rather than some travesty of justice or aggression. Yet it was catastrophic to a generation of Europeans, killing 14 million people. The United States joined this unnecessary war a few years into the hostilities, causing many American lives, even though the US Was not party to the alliances that had drawn other nations into the fray. This, even though Americans had been strongly opposed to entering the war and Woodrow Wilson had won the presidency with the slogan, he kept us out of war. President Wilson changed course in 1917 and plunged the US into the tragic European conflict. Approximately 270,000Americans were killed or injured. That was in, I mean, less than two years. Over 1200American citizens who opposed the war were rounded up and imprisoned, some for years, for going out into the streets and telling people to dodged a draft. They were thrown in prison. It's a free country, bro. A number of reasons were publicly given for Wilson's change of heart, including Germany's submarine warfare, Germany's sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania, and a diplomatic debacle known as the Zimmerman Telegram episode. All complete propaganda. Germans took out ads and papers telling people, don't go on any American ships. We know they have weapons and munitions. Aboard them, even if they're a passenger ship like the Lusitania, which sank in about four minutes because it was. Because it exploded as soon as it got hit by. By a torpedo, because it had munitions on it. They said, don't do it. And then the Zimmerman telegram. Thomas and I went over that in one of the World War I episodes. So go check out that series. While Americans today are aware of many of these facts, few know that Zionism appears to have been one of those factors. Diverse documentary evidence shows a Zionist push for the US to enter the war on Britain's side as part of a deal to gain British support for their colonization of Palestine. From the very beginning of their movement, Zionists realized that if they were to succeed in their goals of creating a Jewish state on land that was already inhabited by non Jews, they needed backing from one of the great powers. Remember I mentioned probably in episode one, from the river, not from the river to the sea, but a land without a people for a people without a land. All you have to do is go read Herzl or read any of the proto Zionists. They knew there were people there. They talk about them. I believe Herzl calls them their brothers, brothers and sisters. They tried the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Palestine at the time, but were turned down. Although they were told the Jews could settle throughout other parts of the Ottoman Empire and become Turkish citizens, they then turn to Britain, which was also initially less enthusiastic. Famous English Middle east experts such as Gertrude Bell pointed out that Palestine was Arab and that Jerusalem was sacred to all three major monotheistic faiths. Judaism has not been a monotheistic faith in a very long time. Sorry, go listen to my reading of Israel Shahak's Jewish history, Jewish religion. He explains, it's not a monotheistic. If anything, they're closer to pagan worship now than anything else. Polytheistic pagan worship. Future British Foreign Minister Lord George Corzon similarly stated that Palestine was already inhabited by half a million Arabs who would not be content either to be expropriated for Jewish immigrants or to act merely as hewers of wood and drawers of drawers of water. For the latter, however, once the British were emboiled In World War I, and particularly during 1916, a disastrous year for the Allies, in which there were 60,000 British casualties in one day alone, Zionists were able to play a winning card. I have to take a sip of coffee on that number. Imagine losing a baseball stadium worth of your soldiers men, the next generation in one day. While they previously had appealed to religious or idealistic arguments. Now, Zionist leaders could add a particularly powerful motivator. Telling the British government that Zionists in the US would push America to enter the war on the side of the British if the British promised to support a Jewish home in Palestine afterward. So what's he saying? Wealthy and powerful Jews, Zionists, Jews, they're all Jews, Most of them, 99%, would help get the United States into a war, a war where 60,000 British boys died in one day and British men died in one day. If they could just have this shitty piece of land that they don't even know what to do with. They couldn't. Till. They couldn't do anything with if they, if they tried. It's already been proven in Russia. They're not farmers. They're not. They're. They just want this land. In 1917, British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour issued a letter to Zionist leader Lord Rothschild. You can see it on the. Just pull up Balfour Declaration on Google and you'll actually see the letter. Notice the Balfour Declaration. This letter promised that Britain would view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object. The letter then qualified this somewhat by stating that it should be clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine. Once again, a land without a people for a people without a land is fucking bullshit. And anyone who says it is a fucking liar. And they're to be dismissed out of hand and shunned at this point. Who, at the point we're at in this country, who cares if they're brainwashed? Brainwashed people need to be shunned until they come to their fucking senses. I've said this before, and I mean, I know it's trivial because, oh, it's Twitter. I block people on Twitter and if you come back to me a year, a year later, six months later, and go, yeah, you were right, I'm sorry, I'll unblock you now. We can. But I'm not going to even associate with you on fucking social media. You think I want to associate, associate with you in real life? I don't want you anywhere near me. I don't want you in the polity. I don't want you being a part of the polis. I don't consider you. So the non Jewish communities were 92% of Palestine's population at that time. Vigorous Zionist immigration efforts having slightly expanded the percentage of Jews living in Palestine by then. Let's check out the, the footnote on that, that's from a book by McCarthy, Population of Palestine, page 26. The letter, while officially signed by British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour, had been in process for two years and had gone through a number of edits of British and American Zionist and British officials. So first of all, this letter is three paragraphs, if I remember correctly. I'm trying to picture it in my mind. I've looked at it a million times. Three paragraphs, two years of edits, and British and American Zionists and British officials had edited it. How important is this letter, I mean, literally, how important is this letter to a group of people that they're willing to send American boys, American men and some women who died going over there as nurses to die in the trenches of Europe. After October 7th, I had so many people contact me and go, you know, I stopped listening because you talked about this certain group of people and it's unseemly. If you want to understand our history, if you want to understand where we're at right now and you're not talking about them, you're just dishonest. Don't ever, ever, if you're listening to this, don't ever send me a video of. Look at Yuri Besmanov. Yuri Bezmanov told us what did Yuri Besmenov mention these people? No, I don't want to hear it. I do not want to hear it. You cannot talk about American history. You cannot talk about the history of the 20th century. You can't even talk about the history of the last 1200 years unless you understand, unless you've studied these people, European history, American history, you can't. I'm sorry, if you're leaving this, if you're leaving them out of the conversation, you're either hiding something or you're grossly ignorant. As Zionist leader Nahum Sokolow later wrote, every idea born in London was tested by the Zionist organization in America. And every suggestion in America received the most careful attention in London. That is from Jeffreys Palestine, the Reality, page 172. Sokolow writes that British Zionists were helped above all by American Zionists. Between London, New York and Washington, there was constant communication, either by telegraph or by personal visit. And as a result, there was perfect unity among the Zionists of both hemispheres. Personal visit. Do you understand how difficult travel was back then? Personal visit between Zionists in London, New York and Washington. Sokolow particularly praised, quote, the beneficent, the beneficent personal influence of the honorable Louis D. Brandeis. Just judge of the Supreme Court. We talked about Brandeis in the last episode and Frankfurter, there's only one word that infiltrator. Infiltrator, that's it. Infiltrator. He was not there to do. He was not there to help to interpret the law, you know, the constitution and the law of the land. He was there to help a diaspora people in the United States and in other countries take land. Take land from people who were already, who were already there. I don't care if the Ottoman. I don't care if the Ottoman Empire controlled it. I don't care if British, if it was British mandate, I don't give a fuck. There were people there and they said, oh, we're just going to go take it. And historically, who gives a fuck? That happened all the time. I mean it literally. I mean, this is the history of warfare. This is the history of we're going to take this land for ourselves. We're going to take that land for ourselves. But they, as chapters one and two show, formed a conspiracy in our country using our resources and sending our men off to die in order to get this land. If you want it, put an army together. I'm sure you have enough money to do it, arm yourselves, go there and take the land. That's what you ended up doing anyway. But you ended up getting us into two fucking world wars in order to do this. The final version of the declaration was actually written by Leopold Amory, a British official who, it came out later was a secret and fervent Zionist. Probably one of the people in Brandeis and Frankfurter's secret society. It appears that the idea for such a declaration had originally been promoted by Parisham founder Horace Callan. Shocking. Author Peter Gross reports, quote, the idea had come to the British from an unlikely source. In November 1915, long before the United States was involved in the war, the fertile brain of Horace Callan had come up with the idea of an Allied statement supporting in whatever veiled way was deemed necessary, Jewish national rights in Palestine. They had come up with the idea of an Allied statement supporting in whatever veiled way was deemed necessary, Jewish national rights in Palestine. What was the number from earlier? 92%. 8% were Jewish and they used us, basically infiltrated our system at the highest levels. Gross writes that Callan suggested the idea to a well connected British friend who would pass the idea along. According to Callan, such a statement would give a natural outlet for the spontaneous pro English, French and Italian sympathies of the Jewish masses. Callan told his friend that this would help break down America's neutrality, which Callan knew was the aim of British diplomacy. Desperate to bring the US into the war on its side, Gross writes, Callan's idea lit a spark of interest in Whitehall. Get American, get us this piece of dirt and we'll get American boys and men to go die. What did Stormy say in our episode? Basically, the graduating class of Yale gone. Gone. The best white men of a generation, gone. While the Balfour Declaration was a less than ringing endorsement of Zionism, Zionists considered it a major breakthrough because it cracked open a door that they would later force wider and w open. In fact, many credit this as a key factor in the creation of Israel. You gave them an inch. You gave them an inch. These Halfour World War I negotiations are referred to in various documents. Samuel Landman, Secretary of the World Zionist Organization, described them in detail in a 1936 article in World Jewry. When I use that word, just remember there was a magazine called world Jewry in 1936. He explained that a secret gentleman's agreement had been made in 1916 between the British government and Zionist leaders. After an. Under. Quoting. After an understanding had been arrived at between Sir Mark Sykes and Zionist Wiseman and Sokolow, it was resolved to send a secret message to Justice Brandeis that the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain Palestine in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support in the US for the Allied cause so as to bring about a radical pro ally tendency in the United States. In 1916 they contacted Zionists in England, contacted a Supreme Court justice in the United States secretly saying that the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain Palestine. They would basically give them Palestine or start advocating that it actually belonged to them. It belonged to the Jews in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support in the USA for the Allied cause so as to bring about a radical pro ally tendency in the United States and eventually get what, 177,000 British men killed. I need more coffee. Espresso, but coffee. Landman wrote that once the British had agreed to help the Zionists, this information was communicated to the press, which he reported rapidly began to favor the US joining the war on the side of Britain. Imagine that. I think she's. I think she has some good information here about the press in the United States, but that'll be later. Landman claimed that Zionists had fulfilled their side of the contract and that it was Jewish help that brought USA into the war on the side of the Allies, thus causing the defeat of Germany. I don't even know how to how to comment on that. He went on to state that this had rankled in Germany ever since and contributed in no small measure to the prominence which antisemitism occupies in the Nazi program. Wait, I'm sorry. I thought anti Leopinskr Zionist said anti Semitism was hereditary. I thought you're just. I thought anti Semitism was just being jealous of how successful Jews are. But Landman went on to state that this had rankled in Germany ever since and contributed in no small measure to the prominence which anti Semitism occupied in the Nazi program. Wow. Wow. I thought my understanding of the JQ was some kind of mental defect. I didn't know it possibly had anything to do with the fact that their actions caused. Their actions caused destruction. And I recognize that. Gee, I guess. I guess Mr. Landman just let me off the hook. Weird. Weird. British Colonial Secretary Lord Cavendish also wrote about this agreement and its result in a 1923 memorandum to the British Cabinet stating the object of the Balfour Declaration was to enlist the sympathies on the Allied side of influential Jews and Jewish organizations all over the world. And it is arguable that the negotiations with the Zionists did in fact have considerable effect in advancing the date to which the United States government intervened in the war. No shit, really? Former British Prime Minister Lloyd George similarly referred to the deal telling a British Commission in 1935, quote, Zionist leaders gave us a definite promise that if the Allies committed themselves to giving facilities for the establishment of a national home for the Jews in Palestine, they would do their best to rally Jewish sentiment and support throughout the world to the Allied cause. They kept their word. End quote. The only conclusion you can take from this is I think it would be you'd be pushing a little too far to say all but a big part of the reason why American white men went and died fighting European white men, their brothers, in the trenches in Europe was because Jewish Zionists wanted a homeland and they were willing to sacrifice our relatives to do it. Brandeis University professor and author Frank Emanuel reported that Lloyd George had testified in 1937 that stimulating the war effort of American Jews was one of the major motives during a harrowing period in the European war. Actuated members of the Cabinet in finally casting their votes for the declaration. American career foreign service officer Evan M. Wilson, who had served as Minister Consul General in Jerusalem, also described this arrangement in his book Decision on Palestine. He wrote that the Balfour Declaration, quote, was given to the Jews largely for the purpose of enlisting Jewish support in the war and of forestalling A similar promise by the Central Powers. Central Powers being the Allied powers enemies in World War I. The official biographer of Lloyd George, of Lloyd George, author Malcolm Thompson, stated that the determining factor in the decision to issue the Balfour Declaration was the scheme for engaging by some such concession the support of American Zionists for the Allied cause in the First World War, end quote. Similarly, Zionist historian Naomi Cohen calls the Balfour Declaration a quote, wartime measure and writes its immediate object was to capture Jewish sympathy, especially in the United States, for the Allies and to shore up England's strategic interests in the near east, end quote. The declaration was pushed, she writes, quote, by leading Zionists in England and by Brandeis who intervened with President Wilson, end quote. A Supreme Court justice, somebody who because of our civic religion is lifted up to priest status in this country, had secret societies, secret meetings and had a hidden agenda that was Zionist and it was to get a homeland by whatever means necessary. And he had the ear of President Wilson and could intervene with him obviously. 177,000 and which leads to World War II. 70 million. Finally, David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of England, wrote in 1939 to a certain extent, America had played a decisive role in the First World War and American Jewry had a considerable part, knowingly or not, in the achievement of the Balfour Declaration. This is something we talked about when I was reading Israel Shahak's Jewish history, Jewish religion, how the rabbis are these polytheistic sex magic lunatics who, even if the people who are sitting in their congregation, I don't know what they call it in a temple, Don't know what they're doing is the rabbis believe, they're harnessing the prayers that are going up of these Jews. Even if they don't understand that they're, they're praying to this polytheistic sex magic male female deity with the devil involved and all this stuff and the same thing right here. American Jewry had a considerable part, knowingly or not, in the achievement of the Balfour Declaration. Even if they didn't want it, even if they didn't care about, you know, even if they wanted to be in America and they didn't want a quote, unquote homeland. The influence of Brandeis and other Zionists in the US has enabled Zionists to form an alliance with Britain, one of the world's great powers. A remarkable achievement for a non state group. In a measure of Zionists by then immense power, as historian Kolsky states, the Zionist movement was now an important force in international politics. Something that Henry Ford understood and started writing about in his newspaper. And then he has the book the International Jew, which is a lot of those articles and writing was just gathered together. People saw this back then, they started talking about it and that's when they needed to be destroyed. American Zionists may also have played a role in preventing an early peace with the Ottoman Empire. In May 1917, American Secretary of State Robert Lansing received a report that the Ottomans were extremely weary of the war and that it might be possible to induce them to break with Germany and make a separate peace with Britain. Such a peace would have helped in Britain's effort to win the war. Victory was still far from ensured, but it would have prevented Britain from acquiring Palestine and enabling a Jewish state. So potential war piece had to be headed off in order that they get this shitty piece of land. The State Department considered a separate Ottoman peace a long shot, but decided to send an emissary to pursue the possibility. Felix Frankfurter became part of the delegation and ultimately persuaded the delegation's leader, former Ambassador Henry J. Morgenthau, to abandon the effort. This is what you call sabotage. This is what you call treason. This is treason. And if you know that, if you recognize the name Morgan Thau. Yeah, maybe we'll see if we get to that at all. It's treason. It's treason. This is the literal definition. U.S. state Department officials considered that Zionists had worked to scuttle this potentially peacemaking mission and were unhappy about it. Zionists often construed such displeasure at their actions as evidence of American diplomats anti Semitism. I hope you're getting it. If you haven't gotten it by now, I hope you're getting there. Because this, I hope, is as infuriating to you as it is to me. Because the more you learn, the more you realize. What would even be the point of reading this and looking at the history of it if it wasn't something that we were still dealing with today? Every one of the terror wars is for Israel, everyone. All right, be back in a couple days and we'll move on to chapter five. Paris Peace Conference, 1919. Zionist defeat calls for Self determination. See in a few days. Have a good weekend. Take care. Bye. Welcome back to part four of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment. What is the. The Hidden story of how the US Was Used to create Israel? Sorry, I don't. Not really good at memorizing the subtitles on books, but yeah, so last time we talked about the. Balfour Declaration and today there's probably going to be three chapters I'm going to run through and probably have to do a couple of explain away a couple things she's had the opinion on a couple historic points that have been pretty much debunked but some people can't let go of it. But, but still the information is good. So let's keep going here. All right, picking up where we left off last time. This is chapter five. Paris Peace Conference 1919 Zionist defeat calls for self determination after the war the victors met in a peace conference and agreed to a set of peace accords that addressed among many issues, the fate of the Ottoman Empire's Middle east territories. The Allies stripped the defeated empire of its Middle Eastern holdings and divided them between Britain and France which were to hold them under a mandate system until the populations were ready for self government. Britain got the mandate over Palestine, which if you listen to the last episode, you know why and the reason why ready for self government is in quotes here is because they're never going to. That wasn't going to happen. Zionists, including Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, World Zionist Organization officials and an American delegation went to the peace conference to lobby for a Jewish home in Palestine and to push for Balfour wording to be incorporated into the peace accords. The official U.S. delegation to the peace conference also contained a number of highly placed Zionists. If you go back to the parishioner, which is the secret society of Zionists that you know Brandeis and trying to remember, was it Callan? Yeah, I mean these are highly influential people, especially Brandeis being a sitting Supreme Court justice who have a secret society of people who have basically taken a pledge to Zionism that they above their family, above their country, that Zionists they would get this homeland. So distinguished American Christians posted in the Middle east who consistently supported Arab self determination went to Paris to oppose Zionists. Numerous prominent Christian leaders in the US including two of the most celebrated pastors of the day, Harry Emerson Fosdick and Henry Sloan Coffin, also opposed Zionism. However, as a pro Israel author notes they were simply outgunned by Zionists. The most influential American in the Middle east At the time, Dr. Howard Bliss, President of Beirut's Syrian Protestant College, later to become the American University of Beirut, traveled to Paris to urge forming a commission to determine what the people of the Middle east wanted for themselves. A suggestion that was embraced by the US diplomatic staff in Paris. I mean imagine that you self determination is kind of what this country was founded upon. And then yeah, in step this other group of people who self determination for them, not for anyone else, For everyone else. Princeton professor Philip Brown in CAIRO for the YMCA supplied requested reports to the U.S. state Department on what Zionism's impact would be on Palestine. He stated that it would be disastrous for both Arabs and Jews and went to Paris to lobby against it. William Westerman, director of the State Department's Western Asian Division which covered the region similar similarly opposed the Zionist position. He wrote that it impinges upon the rights and desires of most of the Arab population of Palestine. Once again keep bringing it up. Land without a people for a people without a land. But there were people there. Obviously this is a topic of conversation how anybody believes that is just. It really goes to show you that 1 people are just out and out liars and 2 people just don't know history because people are out and out liars. Westerman and other U.S. diplomats felt that the Arab position was much more in line with Wilson's principles of self determination. In certain circulated Arab material President Wilson decided to send the Commission to Palestine to investigate the situation in person. After spending two months in the area interviewing all sections of the population, the Commission, known as the King Crane Commission recommended against the Zionist position of unlimited immigration of Jews to make Palestine a distinctly Jewish state. So that is exactly their they're saying it. What is the point of going there to make it a distinctly Jewish state. This is quoted from a book by Sammy Hadawi, Bitter Harvest Palestine between 1914 and 1979 book written in 1979 I think bitter Harvest was also the book written about Ian Smith and Rhodesia if I'm not mistaken. The Commissioner stated that the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine could be accomplished only with the gravest trespass upon the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine. Pointing out that to subject the Palestinians to steady financial and social pressure to surrender the land would be a gross violation of the principle of self determination and of the people's rights. But when it comes, who cares? They want what they want. They went on to point out that the well being and development of the people in the region formed a sacred trust that the people should become completely free and that the national governments should derive their authority from the initiative and free choice of the native populations. The report stated that meetings with Jewish representatives made it clear that the Zionists looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the the present non Jewish inhabitants of Palestine concluded that armed force would be required to accomplish this and urged the peace conference to dismiss the Zionist proposals. The Commission recommended that the project for making Palestine distinctly a Jewish Commonwealth should be given up. They knew what was going to happen. You don't go there. You don't make plans to go there with guns and to force. I mean, unless there are people there in the first place. I mean, I'm going to make this argument over and over again because I'm land without a people for a people without a land. You don't know how much it offends me that like that kind of just so easily debunked propaganda is, you know, and it's like, oh well, the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire controlled it, then Britain. So what? So I don't care. Zionist through Brandeis dominated the situation, however, and the report was suppressed until after the peace accords were enacted. As a pro Israel historian noted quote, with the burial of the King Crane report, a major obstacle in the Zionist path disappeared. The US delegation was forced to follow Zionist directives. Let's see who we have here. That is from, that's from Arofsky's book cited in Mulholl America. Yeah, all right. I already mentioned that book. Ultimately, the mandate over Palestine given to Britain supported the Zionist project and included the Balfour language. According to the mandate, Britain would be responsible for putting into effect the Balfour Declaration in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. It being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine. So basically an invading army is getting ready to go in and people expect that possibly the people who are already there, they're just going to lie down and take it. They're not Americans. Chapter 6. Forging an Ingathering of all Jews. The idea behind Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape antisemitism. Where is that from? That is from Theodore Herzl, the Jewish State, Dover Publications. Yeah. So the father, basically the father of political Zionism, that's who they're quoting there is to escape antisemitism. Of course the question always doesn't always come up because you're not allowed to ask it, but I will. What's the main cause of antisemitism? If you followed my work, then you know that I've quoted over and over again Jewish philosophers who say Pinsker says that antisemitism is hereditary. Most commonly you'll hear people are jealous of their success. Yeah, things like that. But you're not allowed, you know, when you ask those questions, when you ask that question, what's the main cause of. What's been the main cause of anti Semitism for the last 1200 years? In Europe. How do countries who didn't even exist parallel have the same issue with the same people a thousand years apart? It's an injury. Pinsker is saying if you're completely dishonest or you're completely brainwashed. Pinsker could actually believe that, that it was hereditary. Combined with this was the belief that all Jews would and should come to the Jewish state in a massive ingathering of exiles. However, when it turned out that not enough Jews were coming of their own volition, a variety of methods were used to increase the immigration. People didn't want to go. I mean, a lot of these people have been living in countries like Germany for a couple centuries. You had people who had escaped the shtetls of Russia and got an education and gone. I mean, of course, I mean these are liberals and we've seen in the 200 Years Together series exactly what they believe. But of course they're not going to want to go to some place where they don't even feel like they have a tie to to. So let me go back to the first sentence because I completely missed this and I know some of you are probably screaming at me. The idea behind Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti Semitism. What about the people who say that God gave them that land forever? If the father of political Zionism, Theodore Herzl, says that Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti Semitism, what does the Bible have to do with that? Zionist leader David Ben Gurion once told the gathering of Jewish Americans, quote, zionism consists of bringing all Jews to Israel. We appeal to the parents to help us bring their children here. Even if they decline to help. We will bring the youth to Israel. But I hope that this will not be necessary. Basically, Ben Gurion, I think the airport is named after him there. The main airport, almost positive, said we're going to force people, we're going to force Jews to do it. There are various documented cases in which fanatical Zionists exploited, exaggerated, invented and even perpetrated anti Semitic incidents both to procure support and to drive Jews to immigrate to the Zionist designated homeland. A few examples are discussed below. I just re released my reading of I can't remember what his name is but crying wolf hate crime hoaxes in America. There's a big big. I think the biggest section was about this certain group. Brandeis, new heading Brandeis and Frankfurter versus US Diplomat. One such case involved a young diplomat named Hugh Gibson, who in 1919 was nominated to be U.S. ambassador to Poland. After he arrived in Poland, Gibson, who was highly regarded and considered particularly brilliant, began to report that there were far fewer antisemitic incidents than Americans were led to believe. He wrote his mother, these yarns are exclusively of foreign manufacture for anti Polish purposes. So what's he saying here? They're spinning a yarn. These things are made up. There may be one or two here, but it's the exception that proves the rule that it's not happening here and it's exclusively of foreign manufacture. All right. His dispatches came to the attention of Brandeis and his protege and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who demanded a meeting with Gibson. Gibson later wrote of their accusations. This is a quote. I'm going to quote a whole section for you. For those of you who are just listening. Gibson speaking. I had, Brandeis and Frankfurter claimed, done more mischief to the Jewish race than anyone who had lived in the last century. I mean, that's a long list if you listen to Zionists and Jews. Nicholas ii, Alexander iii. Really? Wow. They said that my reports on the Jewish question had gone around the world and had undone their work. They finally said that I had stated that I had stated that the stories of excesses against the Jews were exaggerated. To which I replied that they certainly were and I should think any Jew would be glad to know it. I'm not going to get into this is an argument that any. Just let me read that again. To which I replied that they certainly were and I should think any Jew would be glad to know that by. Basically what he's saying is I would think you'd be really happy to know that I'm reporting that it's a false report that Jews are being persecuted in Poland. I've made this argument before about certain things I'm not going to bring up here, but it doesn't matter. They need you to believe that they are being persecuted still to today. They need you to believe that October 7 happened in a vacuum, that nothing led up to October 7. Frankfurter hinted that if Gibson continued these reports, Zionist would block his confirmation by the Senate. It freak. I mean, it's only recently, right. That we've had corruption in this country. Huh? Not that a hundred years ago somebody went to Poland, spoke the truth about what he discovered and then when he came back, somebody, somebody, a very powerful person, hinted that if you don't trash these reports, you're not going to get the job. I thought they were all about who was the most successful and who was the most qualified. Gibson was outraged and sent a 21 page letter to the State Department. In it he shared his suspicions that this was part of a conscienceless and blood and cold blooded plan to make the condition of the Jews in Poland so bad that they must turn to zionism for relief. Mr. Gibson, Hero speaking the truth. Zionists and the Nazis new heading. I've heard her opinion about this and I will. Carl Raddle. Not Carl Dahl who's on my show all the time, but Carl Raddle. Radl has a. Has a substack. He's on Twitter. There may be some things in here I'll have to point you to him to Deep Bolt. Perhaps the most extreme case of Zionist exploitation of antisemitism to further their cause came during the rise of Adolf Hitler. Zionist leaders had a mixed response to Hitler and the rise of the Nazis. Israeli historian Tom Segev writes, everyone wondered how the persecution of the Jews in Germany would affect life in Palestine. They wondered how the persecution of the Jews would affect life in Palestine, not that they would try to get them out of there and protect them. It almost seems like this is the kind of attitude where you're like, well if it happens to them it's good for our cause. If something happens to them, it's good for our cause maybe. While papers predicted loss and ruin beyond repair and described a dance of death in Berlin, they expected that the hour of trouble and anguish would open unprecedented historical opportunities, specifically increased immigration to Palestine. Ben Gurion hoped the Nazis victory would become a fertile force for Zionism. Let's check the. That quote that he's attributing to or that sentiment that he's attributing to Ben Gurion is from Tom Segev, The Seventh Million, the Israelis and the Holocaust, 1993, page 19. Historians have documented the Zionist sabotage efforts to find safe havens for Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in order to convince the world that Jews could only be safe in a Jewish state. That is this. Here's. I'll read the footnote on this. This was well known in the State Department. For example, State Department near east expert Harry N. Howard states, quoting, there was discussion of liberalizing American immigration laws in this period. The Zionists opposed that liberalization on the ground that this would not be a solution. As far as they were concerned. They wanted a political, not necessarily a humanitarian solution. That is, they wanted a state. More. Let's see, here's another one. The Zionist movement knows that Palestine is and will be for some time a remittance society. They know that they can raise vast sums for Palestine by saying to donors, there is no other place this poor Jew can go. That's from Lilienthal. What price Israel? Page 27. So basically, they want the world to believe that even if they aren't being persecuted, they're being persecuted. You think that affects the opinions that most people have today on how they were treated, even in Germany? Let's see. Okay. When FDR made efforts in 1938 and 1943 and the British in 1947 to provide havens for refugees from the Nazis, Zionists opposed these projects because they did not include Palestine. So leave them there. Leave them there because we want it to get so bad. We don't care. We don't really care about these people. They want the only choice to be Palestine. Don't take them to America. Don't take them to, you know, any. Don't take them safe. Someplace safe. Leave them there. Morris Ernst, FDR's international envoy for refugees, wrote in his memoir that when he worked to help find refuge for those fleeing Hitler, quote, active Jewish leaders decried sneer and then attacked me as if I were a traitor. At one dinner party, I was openly accused of furthering this plan of freer immigration into the US in order to undermine political Zionism. Zionist friends of mine opposed it. So there is a real threat on the lives of a Jewish population. Someone wants to do something about it and get them out, bring them into the usa, and even his friends attack him. Ernst wrote that he found the same fanatical reaction among all the Jewish groups he approached, whose leaders, he found, were little concerned about human blood if it is not their own. FDR finally gave up, telling Ernst, we can't put it over because the dominant vocal Jewish leadership of America, America, won't stand for it. We can't put it over because the dominant vocal Jewish leaders, they won't stand for them being rescued and brought anywhere, allegedly probably other than Palestine. But as we'll find out later, even somebody who worked to free and get Jews taken out of a couple of the camps, we'll see how the Zionists treated him and what they did to him. For. For his good works. Journalist Erskine B. Childers, son of the former Irish prime minister, wrote in The Spectator in 1960, quote, one of the most massively important features of the entire Palestine struggle was that Zionism delivered deliberately arranged that the plight of the wretched survivors of Hitlerism should be a moral argument which the west had to accept. So even though there was a plan, there were many plans to get them out of the way, get them out of Germany or get them out of, get them out of the Eastern Front, wherever this was, wherever they could get them out, which they didn't want, unless it was to Palestine, which really wasn't in the cards at that time. So it would have had to have been to a third country after the war. They were the west and the leader. We were to blame for that. We were to blame because anyone who perished during the war, it was on our hands, even though our people tried to get them out. He explained that this, that this was done by seeing to it that Western countries did not open their doors widely and immediately to the inmate of the displaced persons camps, the DP camps. Childers, author of several books on conflict resolution and peacekeeping, who later became Secretary General of the World Federation of the United Nations Associations, commented, quoting, it is incredible that so grave and grim a campaign has received so little attention in accounts of the Palestine struggle. It was a campaign that literally shaped all subsequent history. It was done by sabotaging specific Western schemes to Admit Jews, Jewish DPs. There were even a certain amount of collusion between Zionist and Nazi leaders. Okay, this is where. I don't know what she's going to say because I haven't read, I haven't read heads of this part, but I have read her opinions on the, on this. There are people who want to make it like, like Zionists and Nazis were working together like side by side on this. Most of that happened even actually before Hitler came to power. Like I said, Karl Rattle substack. He has new. I mean it's footnoted everywhere and it's mostly for. I think pretty much every footnote he has is from shitlibs who've written books. So this is all with a grain of salt. There was even a certain amount of collusion between Zionists and Nazi leaders when disturbing facts emerged in the 1950s about this. These caused considerable scandal in Israel and led to the fall of the Israeli government of the time. A number of books are dedicated to this subject and is discussed in numerous others. In some cases there were accusations that Zionist collaboration with Nazis had saved people with connections at the expense of those with none. That's always going to happen no matter what. So I mean, that's just history. I mean, I'm sorry. The topic inspired novels by well known Israeli writers Amos Elon and Neil Gordon, was a subject of a 1987 British play and was portrayed in a 1994 Israeli docudrama. Some Zionist leaders worked out what became known as the transfer agreement, a 1933 pact with the Nazis in which Jews who wish to go to Palestine could transfer their capital to Palestine. As part of the agreement, these Zionists agreed to reject a boycott that had been implemented against Germany. That much of that is true, except the transfer agreement started earlier than 1933 and it pretty much dissolved, I think, by 1934 and 1935. And not much became of it. Not many moved move there. So I have the book over there. I can't remember the name of it. I think it was Zionism and Anti Semitism in Nazi Germany. Israeli author Tom Segev explains that the agreement was based on the complementary interests of the German government and the Zionist movement. The Nazis wanted the Jews out of Germany. The Zionists wanted them to come to Palestine. For a time, the Nazis worked with these Zionist leaders to promote Jewish immigration to Palestine. A series in a Berlin paper published by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels was entitled A Nazi Visits Palestine and depicted glowing photographs of Jewish immigrants in Palestine. Goebbels created a medal with a swastika on one side. And. Yeah, that's actually, if you ever see that metal, that is a. Has a. A Star of David on one side and a swastik on the other. And people are like, oh, look, look at, look how closely they were working together. They even had. No, no, Goebbels had those made as a, like, promotion for, for his newspaper, you know. Yeah, I mean, that's. It was. It was basically like, have you ever been to a baseball game and they get you there on bat day because they give away bats to everyone or cap day or something like that. Yeah, it was just a way of getting people to buy the paper, basically. Nazi official Adolf Eichmann, later famous for his public trial in Israel, learned some Hebrew and Yiddish. Actually, he spoke it very fluently and briefly visited Palestine in 1937. He met with Zionist leaders on a number of occasions, including meeting with Ben Gurion chief assistant and future Mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kullak. I say he spoke it fluently. I'd have to check on that again, but I know that they definitely quieted him and kept him in a cage during his trial because they didn't want him to. They only wanted to hear him speak. They only wanted the crowd to hear him speak. When they wanted him to hear. Hear him speak, they were scared he was going to start speaking in Hebrew and that might cause people to change their mind or be like, wait a minute, what's going on here? He met with Zionist leaders on a number of occasions, including Meeting with Ben Gurion chief assistant and future Mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kolek. Eichmann's autobiography was never published and reportedly remains sealed somewhere in Israeli archives. I would love to get my hands on that thing. As already referred to earlier, Zionist leader Samuel Landman in 1936 used a particularly ironic strategy to push for Britain's help in opening up Palestine to the growing number of Jewish refugees from Germany. According to Landman, Zionist actions were responsible for the U.S. entry into World War I on the side of Britain covered that last episode. U.S. involvement then enabled the Allies to defeat Germany. The knowledge of this Zionist connection, Landman said, was a cause of the growing anti Semitism in Germany. Remember I said that last time, everybody's like, oh, the Germans just woke up one day and hated Jews. No, this is a. This is somebody who was there who saw all of this, who saw how the US got into World War I. American white boys died basically so that Zionists could get the Balfour Declaration. They could have a mandate towards going back there. And people in Germany knew this. And that, he said, was a cause of the growing anti Semitism in Germany. That would be a huge one because I think most experts agree that if the United States didn't get in the war, didn't join in the war, Germany would have won. But then they suffered everything that they suffered. If you. Again, another book that I've read on my show, Blockade Diary of a Middle Class Austrian Woman by Anna Eisenmenger, explains what they did to the people, how they tried to kill them and starve them to death. And. Yeah. Therefore, Landsman argued there was a greater need than ever for the Jewish state in Palestine that the British had allegedly promised in return for Jewish help in winning the war. What's the. Let me go to that. Let me see. 132, 132. That is from Landman, Great Britain, the Jews and Palestine. Landman's booklet. This is. I'm reading the footnotes here. Landeman's booklet also contained a veiled threat that without such a state, these increasingly desperate Jewish masses might attempt to pull down the pillars of civilization by becoming Communists. They already did that in Russia. I mean, they're responsible for the 1905 Revolution and 1917. Interestingly, Theodore Herzl in his 1896 book, who also written of a Jewish connection to communism, quoting, when we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties. Historian Norman F. Kantor, in his book The Jewish Experience, 1996, page 364, reports that the Jews played a disproportionately important role in Soviet and world communism. According to Dr. Cantor quoting the Bolshevik revolution and some of its aftermath represented from one perspective Jewish revenge. Saying that on 200 years together the whole time. Let's take a sip of water. Alrighty, moving on. This one's a little longer than previous ones, but let's finish this up. Zionists fate hate hate attacks on Iraqi Jews. That's a mouthful. While Zionists wish for a massive in gathering of the Jews in one state, most Iraqi Jews wanted nothing to do with it. According to Iraq then chief rabbi who stated quote Iraqi Jews will be forever against Zionism. Huh. They really hate Iraq. Don't they wonder why Jews and Arabs have enjoyed. This is quoting. Jews and Arabs have enjoyed the same privileges, same rights and privileges for a thousand years and do not regard themselves as a distinctive separate part of the nation. The rabbi declared. That's Lilienthal. What price Israel Again, page 151. Lilienthal goes on to report despite these warnings, Zionist agents effectively produce trouble in Iraq. Rabbi Sassoon himself was badly beaten by co religionists. I'm going to read that again. Jews and Arabs have enjoyed the same rights and privileges for a thousand years and do not regard themselves as a distinctively separate part of this nation, the rabbi declared, talking about Iraq. Zionists worked to change that by covertly attacking Iraqi Jews so as to induce them to flee to Israel. Zionists planted bombs in Iraqi synagogues and in the U.S. information Service Library in Iraq, quote in attempts to portray the Iraqis as an anti American, as anti American and to terrorize the Jews, according to author and former CIA operative Wilbur Crane eviland134 Wilbur Evelyn Ropes of Sand America's Failure in the Middle East, 1980, page 48 quoting. Soon leaflets began to appear urging Jews to flee to Israel, writes Eveland. And most of the world believed reports that Arab terrorism had motivated the flight of the Iraqi Jews from the Zionists whom the Zionists had rescued. Really just in order to increase Israel's Jewish population, Zionists Jews went to Iraq, planted bombs in Israeli synagogues, in Iraqi synagogues. It's their own people, right? And in the U. And in a US library that's Americans, right? Similarly, Naim Galadi, a Jewish Iraqi author who later lived in Israel and the US describes the the program from the inside quote. I write about what the first prime minister of Israel called cruel Zionism. I write about it because I was part of it. Galati states that the Jews from Islam the quoting Israti Gi states that, quote, Jews from Islamic lands did not emigrate willingly to Israel in order, end quote, in order, quote, to force them to leave. Galati writes, jews killed Jews. He goes on to say that in an effort, quote, to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands, Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their Arab neighbors. He states, genuine peace initiatives. But I mean, these are just murderous Muslims, right? I mean, they were. I mean, how are they. How could they live side by side with Muslims? How could Jews live side by side with Muslims for a thousand years in Iraq? And then when they say, oh, we want you to come to Israel, they're like, no, go away. Screw you. This is our home. It's been our home for a thousand years. And then they plant bombs and kill them and plant bombs in America in an American library. And I get criticized for. Yeah, yeah, all right, that's it. Next chapter will be chapter seven, the Modern Israel Lobby is Born. Hope you're getting a lot out of this. I'm sure a lot of you people who know a lot of things are learning a lot, too, so. Know a lot about this. You know, the history of this are learning a lot, too. So, yeah, wouldn't be talking about this if we still weren't dealing with it and if it weren't probably the most dangerous thing that we're dealing with at this point. All right, back in a couple days. Take care. Bye. Welcome back to part five of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment, the Hidden History of How the US Was Used to Create Israel by Alison Weir. I'm going to jump right into chapter seven. Let's get going. I think we can now have two chapters today, unless I start getting ranty, which I might. Chapter seven, the modern Israel lobby is born. In the 1920s and 1930s, American Zionists retreated somewhat from overtly pushing for a Jewish state in Palestine. Instead, many focused on creating Jewish institutions in Palestine, reports historian Naomi Cohen, who calls this approach Palestinianism. Funny that they're calling it Palestine since they, you know, nowadays the revisionists will tell you there's no such thing as Palestine. Palestine. There's no such thing. Why are you using that word? There's no such thing. But they even had a term called Palestinianism. Cohen attributes this switch to American antisemitism in the 1920s and the Great Depression in the 1930s. But Americans revulsion against militant nationalisms, particularly strong after World War I, must certainly have been an important factor. Cohen writes that this retreat from overt Zionism permitted the Spread of a quiet Zionism in synagogues and Jewish schools. All quoting. Meanwhile, by not publicly declaring the end goal of a Jewish state state Zionists could avoid the appearance of disloyalty or dual allegiance. So they are being subversive. They are not publicly declaring the end goal of a Jewish state, but that is their goal. Why are they not doing it publicly? To avoid the appearance of being disloyal or dual appearance of disloyalty or dual allegiance which they have. Their loyalty is to creating their own state. And I've abandoned the term dual allegiance because there's only one. This better fit the temper of the times. Following a war allegedly fought for democracy, a number of both Jewish and non Jewish writers opposed the non democratic agenda of creating a Jewish state on land whose population was overwhelmingly non Jewish. Amazing that they just, they so admitted back then that there were people there. Now they say there weren't. As a Jewish writer pointed out in a Zionist journal quoting Forcing foreign rule upon the majority of the population so that a minority may achieve political, economic and cultural privileges does not accord with the conscience of people bred in America and Western Europe to the principles of, of free self government. So even a Zionist journal and a Jewish writer realizes that going there and displacing people and basically going there to rule them, which is what they knew they were going to do, says it right here. Forcing foreign rule upon a majority population was against American and Western values. Yet Americans will bend over backwards and maybe and sometimes literally bend over for these people. On the other hand, creating Jewish institutions in Palestine such as the Hebrew University in Jerusalem seemed to non Zionists like altruism rather than the vanguard of a colonial movement. You see where this is going, right? As Cohen explains, to outsiders, non Jewish Americans it was basically a philanthropy. And Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists. So it was a trick. They made it look like, oh, we're opening up a university and you know, we'll allow these people to come in and we'll educate them and you know, she doesn't go into exactly here. Were they going to be deeply discounted? Would they go for free? Or you know, mostly that they were going to be completely excluded to a certain extent. Where does it say that? As Cohen explains, to outsiders, non Jewish Americans it was basically a philanthropy. And Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists, their pists. Zionist leaders felt that the US was critically important to their goal. Ben Gurion, who had visited the United States almost every year after his election to the Jewish to the Zionist executive, wrote in 1939 that he was Convinced that the main arena for Zionist efforts outside Palestine should be America, stating that they had, quote, no more effective tool at our disposal than the American Jewish community and Zionist Zionist movement. Zionist Moshe Shirtak, a future Israeli foreign minister, stated, during World War II, quote, America will have a decisive influence at the end of the war. And the question of our strength in America is a very real and important one. Strength in America. A question of our strength in America. Shirtzhoff went on to state, quote, there are millions of active and well organized Jews in America, and their position in life enables them to be most dynamic and influential. They live in the nerve centers of the country and hold important positions in politics, trade, journalism, the theater and the radio. They could influence public opinion, but their strength is not felt since it is not harnessed and directed at the right. Right target. Politics, trade, journalism, the theater and the radio. But if I say that a Zionist leader decried what he considered a problem with American Jews at this time, quote, the American Jew thinks of himself first and foremost as an American citizen. This is a fact, whether we like it or not. He concluded, quote, loyalty to America is now the supreme watchword. They didn't like that there were people here who are loyal to America, Jews who are loyal to America. Zionists were determined to harness this untapped power, and soon the Zionist movement began to come into its own, the immediate precursor to today's pro Israel lobby. In 1939, under the leadership of Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, originally from Lithuania, he created the American Zionist Emergency council, which by 1943 had acquired a budget of half a million dollars at a time when a nickel bought a loaf of bread. In addition to this money, Zionist had become influential in creating a fundraising umbrella organization, the United Jewish appeal, in 1939, giving them access to the organization's gargantuan financial resources. 14 million in 1941, 150 million by 1948. This was four times more than the Americans contributed to the Red Cross and was the equivalent of approximately $1.5 billion. Today, with its extraordinary funding, AZEC embarked on a campaign to target every sector of American society, ordering that local committees be set up in every Jewish community in the nation. In the words of AZEC organizer Cy Kennan, it launched a political and public relations offensive to capture the support of congressmen, clergy, editors, professors, business and labor. But it's a conspiracy theory, right? I mean, they. To say they did that is a conspiracy theory. You can't prove it, right? I mean, they admit it, but Azek instructed activists to, quote, make direct Contact with your local congressman or senator or to go after union members, wives and parents of servicemen and Jewish war veterans. AZAC provided activists with form letters to use and schedules of anti Zionist lecture tours to oppose and disrupt. So not only were they doing positive work, they were doing negative work. Positive in that they were promoting their own message and negative in that they went to disrupt people who were speaking out against them. A measure of its power came in 1945 when Silver disliked a British move that would be harmful to Zionists. Azak booked Madison Square Garden, ordered advertisements and mailed 250,000 announcements the first day. By the second day, they had organized demonstrations in 30 cities, a letter writing campaign and convinced 27 US senators to give speeches. This is in 1945. They were able to organize in two days demonstrations in 30 cities, letter writing campaigns and convince us, convince 27 US senators to give speeches. When you consider today how easy travel is, they just pick up a phone, you wire people. How hard is it to understand how you can have 50 cities across the country having. Anti immigration or anti, anti remigration protests? Let's put it that way, when back then in two days they could organize in 30 cities and get 27 U.S. senators to give speeches. 1945. Grassroots Zionist Action Groups were organized with more than 400 local committees under 76 state and regional branches. AZAC funded books, articles and academic studies. Millions of pamphlets were distributed. There were massive petition and letter writing campaigns. AZAK targeted college presidents and deans, managing to get more than 150 to sign one petition, 150 presidents, college presidents and deans to sign one. Rabbi Elmer Berger, executive director of the American Council for Judaism, which opposed zionism in the 1940s and 50s, writes in his memoirs that there was a, quote, ubiquitous propaganda campaign reaching just about every point of political leverage in the country, end quote. The Zionist Organization of America bragged that the immensity of our operations and their diversity in its 48th annual report stating we reach into every department of American life. Berger and other anti Zionist Jewish Americans tried to organize against, quoting the deception and cynicism with which Zionist the Zionist machine operated, but failed to obtain anywhere near their level of funding. Among other things would be dissenters were afraid of, quote, the savagery of personal attacks anti Zionists endured back then. If you're an anti Zionist, which it seems like from what I'm reading here, they were Jews, they were anti Zionist. You underwent savage personal attacks, which doesn't seem like it would be very hard if you can get 27 senators to give speeches in your for your cause. Seems like you could possibly get anything done to these people. Berger writes that when he and a colleague opposed Zionist resolution in Congress, Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who was to serve in Congress for almost 50 years, told them they ought to. They ought to take you bitches out and shoot you. I think it's bitches. It's removed here. So Emanuel Seller, you ever heard of the Hart Celler act which basically opened the floodgates for immigration in this country? Yep. When it was unclear that President Harry Truman would support Zionism, Seller and a committee of Zionists told him that they had persuaded Dewey to support the Zionist policy and demanded that Truman also take this stand. Seller reportedly pounded on Truman's table and said that if Truman did not do so will run you out of town. Seller reportedly pounded on Truman's table, that's the President of the United States and said if he didn't do so, he'd run him out of town. Jacob Javits, another well known Senator, this time Republican, told the Zionist woman's group group will fight to death and make a Jewish state in Palestine if it's the last thing we do. Richard Stevens, author of American Zionism and U.S. foreign Policy 1942-1947, reports that Zionists infiltrated the boards of several Jewish schools that they felt didn't sufficiently promote the Zionist cause. When this didn't work, Stevens writes, they would start their own pro Zionist schools. Stevens writes that in 1943-44 the ZOA distributed over a million leaflets and pamphlets to public libraries, chaplains, community centers, educators, ministers, writers and others who might further the Zionist cause. Alfred Lilienthal, who had worked in the State Department, served in the US army in the Middle east from 1943 to 1945 and became a member of the anti Zionist American Council for Judaism, reports that Zionist monthly sales of books totaled between 3 to 4,000 throughout 1944 to 1945. Richard Stevens reports that Zionists subsidized books by non Jewish authors that supported the Zionist agenda. They would then promote these books jointly with commercial publishers. Several of them became best sellers. So if you wonder why Hillary Clinton gets to write a book and Barack Obama gets to write a book and Mitt Romney gets to write a book which you know no one is reading and buying. This is why it's subsidized. New heading Zionist manufacturer Christian support Azek founder Silver and other Zionists played a significant role in creating Christian support for Zionism, a project. Brandeis encouraged secret Zionist funds, eventually reaching $150,000 in 1946 were used to revive an elitist Protestant group, the American Palestine Committee. This group had originally been founded in 1932 by Emanuel Newman, a member of the executive of the Zionist Organization. The objective was to organize a group of prominent, mainly non Jewish Americans in moral and political support of Zionism. Frankfurter was one of the main speakers. At its launch, Silver's headquarters issued a directive saying, quote, in every community, an American Christian Palestine Committee must be immediately organized. Author Peter Gross reports that the Christian Committee's operations were hardly autonomous. This is all quoting Zionist headquarters thought nothing of placing newspaper advertisements on the clergyman's behalf without bothering to consult them in advance until one of the committee leaders meekly asked at least for prior notice before public statements were given were made in their name. Imagine you just wake up one day and you're promoting something in the newspaper and you have no idea why. You have no idea how. ASAAC formed another group among clergymen, the Christian Council on Palestine. An internal AZAAC memo stated that the aim of both groups was to crystallize the sympathy of Christian America for our cause. By the end of World War II, the Christian Council on Palestine had grown to 3,000 members and the American Palestine Committee boasted a membership of 6,500 public figures, including senators, congressmen, cabinet members, governors, state officers, mayors, jurists, clergymen, educators, writers, publishers, and civic and industrial leaders. Bought and sold, bought and sold in the 1940s. And you wonder why things are the way they are today. Historian Richard Stevens explains that Christian support was largely gained by exploiting their wish to help people in need. Stevens writes that Zionists would proclaim the tragic plight of refugees fleeing from persecution and finding no home, thus linking the refugee problem with Palestine as allegedly the only solution. Some manipulation. Stevens writes that the reason for this strategy was clear. While many Americans might not support the creation of a Jewish state, traditional American humanitarianism could be exploited in favor of the Zionist cause through the refugee problems. Few, if any of these Christian supporters had any idea that the creation of the Jewish state would entail a massive expulsion of hundreds of thousands of non Jews Jews who made up the large majority of Palestine's population, creating a new and much longer lasting refugee problem. Nor did they learn that during and after Israel's founding 1947-1949, war Zionist forces attacked a number of Christian sites. Donald Neff, former Time Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief and author of five books on Israel Palestine, reports in detail on Zionist attacks on Christian Christian sites in May 1948, the month of Israel's birth. Neff tells us that a group of Christian leaders complained that month that Zionists had killed and wounded hundreds of people, including children, refugees and clergy at Christian churches and humanitarian institutions. For example, the group changed a charge that, quote, many children were killed or wounded by Jewish shells on the convent of Orthodox Copts Coptics. Eight refugees were killed and about 120 wounded at the Orthodox Armenian convent and that Father Pierre Somi, secretary to the bishop, had been killed and two wounded at the Orthodox Syrian Church of St. Mark. The group's statement said Arab forces had abided by their promise to respect Christian institutions, but that the Jews had forcefully occupied Christian structures and been indiscriminate in shelling churches, reports Neff. He quotes a Catholic priest jewish soldiers broke down the doors of my church and robbed my precious and sacred objects. Then they threw the statues of Christ down into a nearby garden. The priest added that Jewish leaders had reassured had reassured that religious buildings would be respected, but their deeds do not correspond to their words, do they ever? After Zionist soldiers invaded and looted a convent in Tiberius, the US Consulate set a bitter dispatch back to State Department complaining of the Jewish attitude in Jerusalem toward Christian institutions. An American Christian biblical scholar concurred, reporting that a friend in Jerusalem had told it had been told, quote, when we control, you take your dead Christ and go home. When we get control, you take your dead Christ and go home. Quoting let's see where that's from. 171 Miller Burrows, Palestine is our business, 1949. Oh, they go all the way back. So yeah, that's within the time this is happening. Within a year, Within a couple years. I like those close references. Chapter 8 Zionist colonization efforts in Palestine as early Zionists in the US and elsewhere pushed for the creation of a Jewish state, Zionists in Palestine simultaneously tried to clear the land of Muslim and Christian inhabitants and replace them with Jewish immigrants. This was a tall order. As Muslims and Christians accounted for more than 95% of the population of Palestine. Zionists planned to try first to buy up the land until the previous inhabitants had emigrated. Failing this, they would use violence to force them out. This dual strategy was discussed in various written documents cited by numerous Palestinian and Israeli historians. As the colonial project grew, the indigenous Palestinians reacted with occasional bouts of violence. Zionists had anticipated this, since people usually resist being expelled from their land. You don't say. When the buyout effort was able to obtain only a few percent of the land, Zionists created a number of terrorist groups to fight against both the Palestinians and the British terrorist and future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin later bragged that Zionists had brought terrorism both to the Middle east and to the world at large. Doesn't that really go up against the narrative, you know, now that terrorism is distinctly Muslim? But no, let's see. 174 Russell, Warren Howe fighting the Soldiers of Occupation From World War II to the intifada in Seeing the Light Personal Encounters with the Middle east and Islam, Ed. Richard H. Curtis and Janet McMahon. Warren and his film crew were filming an interview with menachem begin in 1974. The red light had come on under the lens. Without preamble, I turned my shoulder to the camera, stared straight into Begin's eyes, and asked, how does it feel in the light of all that is going on to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East? In the Middle East. He bellowed in his thick cartoon accent. In all the world, Huh? Yeah, let's see, where was I? All right. By the eve of the creation of Israel, the Zionist Immigration and Buyout project had increased the Jewish population of Palestine to 30% and land ownership from 1% to approximately 6 to 7%. This was in 1947, when the British at last announced that they would end their control of Palestine. Britain turned the territory's fate over to the United Nations. Since a founding principle of the UN was self determination of peoples, one would have expected to the UN to support fair democratic elections in which inhabitants could create their own independent country. Instead, Zionists pushed for a General assembly resolution to give them a disproportionate 55% of Palestine. While they rarely announced this publicly, their plan, stated in journal entries and letters, was to later take the rest of Palestine. New Heading US Officials Oppose Creation of Israel the US State Department opposed the partition plan, strenuously considering Zionism contrary to both fundamental American principles and U.S. interests. For example, the director of the State Department's Office of Near Eastern and African affairs consistently recommended against supporting a Jewish state in power, Palestine. The director, named Lloyd Henderson, warned that the creation of such a state would go against locals wishes, imperil U.S. interests, and violate democratic principles. Henderson emphasized that the U.S. would lose moral standing in the world if it supported Zionism at the present time, the United States has a moral prestige in the near and Middle east unequaled by that of any great other great power. We would lose that prestige and would be likely for many years to be considered as a betrayer of the high principles which we ourselves have enunciated during the periods of the Second World War end quote When Zionists pushed a partition plan in the un Henderson recommended strongly against supporting their proposal, saying that such a partition would have to be implemented by force and was not based on any principle. He warned that partition, quote, would guarantee that the Palestine problem would be permanent and still more complicated in the future. Future. You didn't really have to be a prophet to know that that's what would happen. Henderson elaborated further on how plans to partition Palestine would violate American and UN principles. Quote, proposals for partition are indefinite contravention to various principles laid down in the UN Charter as well as to principles on which American concepts of government are based on. These proposals, for instance, ignore such principles as self determination and majority rule. They recognize the principle of a theocratic racial state and even go so far in several instances as to discriminate on grounds of religion and race. Zionists attacked Henderson virulently, calling him anti Semitic, demanding his resignation and threatening his family. What's changed? Can someone answer that question for me? What's changed? They pressured the State Department to transfer him elsewhere. One analyst describes this as the historic game of musical chairs in which officials who recommended Middle Eastern policies consistent with the nation's interests were moved on. So if an American official, when it came to the Middle east, spoke, gave his opinion, and his opinion was what benefits America best. He was moved on is the terminology they use. In 1948, Truman sent Henderson to the slopes of the Himalayas as ambassador to Nepal, then officially under India. In recent years, at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been directed by a Zionist. Repeat that again. In recent years, at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been directed by a Zionist. 185. What is she quoting? Revealed during conversation with State Department associate. But Henderson was far from alone in making his recommendations. He wrote that his views were not only those of the entire Near East Division, but were shared by nearly every member of the Foreign Service or of the State Department who has worked to any appreciable extent on Near Eastern problems. He wasn't exaggerating. Official after official and agency after agency opposed Zionism. In 1947, the CIA reported the Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and the strategic interests of the Western powers in the near and Middle East. Ambassador Henry F. Grady, who has been called America's top diplomatic soldier for a critical period of the Cold war, headed a 1946 commission aimed at coming up with a solution for Palestine. Grady later wrote about the Zionist lobby and its damaging effect on US national interests. I have had a good deal of experience with lobbies but this group started where those of my experiences had ended, wrote Grady. I have headed a number of government missions, but in no other have I ever experienced so much disloyalty in the United States. Since there is no political force to counterbalance Zionism, its campaigns are apt to be decisive, end quote. Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure the US Would not have had the ill will with the Arab states which are of such strategic importance in our Cold War with the Soviets. So if the, if the US hadn't supported the Zionist cause, everything was fine with the Arab states. Now people are listening to that right now and they're thinking, no, no, no, Muslims are like out of their minds. I mean, again, when you ask what causes anti Semitism, there's a reason. When you ask what causes Muslims to act the way they have in the last 80 years, there's a reason. Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure, the US Would not have had the ill will with the Arab states which are such strategic importance in our Cold War with the Soviets. Former Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson also opposed Zionism. Acheson's biographer writes that Acheson worried that the west would pay a high price for Israel. Another author, John Mulhall, records Acheson's warning of the danger for U.S. interests. Quote, to transform Palestine into a Jewish state capable of receiving a million or more immigrants would vastly exacerbate the political problem and imperil not only American but all Western interests in the Middle. In the Near East. The Joint Chiefs of Staff reported in late 1947, quote, a decision to partition Palestine if the decision were supported by the United States would prejudice United States strategic interests in the near and Middle east to the point that United States influence in the area would be curtailed to that that which could be maintained which to that which could be maintained by military force. The Joint Chiefs issued at least 16 papers on the Palestine issue following World War II. They were particularly concerned that the Zionist goal was to involve the US. One 1948 paper predicted, predicted that, quote, the Zionist strategy will seek to involve the United States in a continuously widening and deepening series of operations intended to. Intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives. The CIA stated that Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and the strategic interests of the Western powers in the near and Middle East. The head of the State Department's Division of Near Eastern Affairs, Gordon P. Mariam, warned against a partition plan on moral grounds. Quote, US Support for partition of Palestine as a solution to that problem can be justified only on the basis of Arab and Jewish consent. Otherwise we should violate. We should violate the principle. Otherwise we should violate the principle of self determination which has been written into the Atlantic Charter, the Declaration of the United nations and the United Nations Charter. A principle that is deeply embedded in our faith foreign policy. Even a United nations determination in favor of partition would be, in the absence of such consent, a stultification and violation of the UN's own charter. Miriam added that without consent, bloodshed and chaos would follow a tragically accurate prediction. An internal State Department memorandum accurately predicted how Israel would be born through armed aggression masked as defense. Wow. Quoting. The Jews will be the actual aggressors against the Arabs. However, the Jews will claim that they are merely defending their boundaries of a state which were traced by the un. In the event of such Arab outside aid, the Jews will come running to the Security Council with the claim that their state is the object of armed aggression and will use every means to obscure the fact that fact that it is their own armed aggression against Arabs inside which is the cause of Arab counterattack. They go in as aggressors, or what is it? They cry out in pain as they strike you. Yeah, they went in as the aggressors, just like in Russia. They were the revolutionaries. And when the Russians fought back, they cried foul. They cried pogrom. Same thing over and over and over again. And American Vice Consul William J. Porter foresaw one last outcome of the partition plan that no Arab state would actually ever come to be in Palestine on. That's it up to Chapter nine. Title of that one will be Truman a Seeds to Pro Israel Lobby. Truman of Seeds to Pro Israel Lobby. So, yeah, we'll come back. And I think we're about halfway through this, so we got a few more episodes to go. But I think a lot of you are learning. But I think a lot of you are just like, oh, yeah, of course. And you listen to this and you're like. I think a lot of people are just shrugging because they're used to it. I think a lot of you can almost anticipate what I'm gonna. What's gonna be said because it's almost boring at this point because, you know, it's the same play over and over again. Thankfully. I think it's. It's falling apart. 80 years. All right, see you in a few days. Take care. Bye. Good morning. Welcome to Part six. All right, gonna jump into Truman giving into the pro Israel lobby. But just from the last episode, here's something I thought I would was a big takeaway for me, was Here, I'll actually share this. This one. What I'm looking at. Just go over talking about Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who ended up serving 50 years. This guy Berger, Rabbi Elmer Berger, who was anti Zionist. Emanuel Seller told them that they ought to take your blank out and shoot you. And then when it was unclear that President Harry Truman would support Zionism, Seller and a committee of Zionists told him that they had persuaded Dewey to support the Zionist policy and demanded that Truman take this stand. Seller reportedly pounded on Truman's table and said that if Truman didn't do this, we'll run you out of town. So, yeah, who's in charge? Who is in charge? All right, let me just make sure one thing here. Boom. Alrighty. Cool. All right, let's get into this. Let's keep going. Chapter nine. Truman accedes to the pro Israel lobby. President Harry Truman, however, ignored this advice and chose instead to support the Zionist partition plan. Truman political advisor Clark Clifford believed that the Jewish vote and contributions were essential to winning the upcoming presidential election and that supporting the partition plan would garner that support. Truman's opponent, Dewey, took similar stands for similar reasons. Truman's because they were being threatened. I mean, they had the ability to be like, screw you. If I lose the election, I lose the election. They. They had a chance to stand on principle, but they're politicians. Truman was the 33rd. Mason. Truman's secretary of State, George Marshall, the renowned World War II general and author of the Marshall Plan, was furious to see electoral electoral considerations taking precedence over policies based on the national interest. He condemned what he called a transparent dodge to win a few votes, which would make the great dignity of the office of president seriously diminished. Well, I mean, at this point, it's gone, right? World War II destroys all of this. Marshall wrote that the council offered by Clifford was based on domestic policy considerations, while the problem which confronted us was international. I said bluntly that if the President were to follow Mr. Clifford's advice and if in the elections I were to vote, I would vote against the President. Let me go back a little bit. So I mentioned Emmanuel Seller. Emanuel Seller basically threatening everyone around him, including the President of the United States. Israel needs this partition plan. They need. We don't care who lives there now. We're going to take it over and you're going to do this and you're going to be behind it. What does Emmanuel Seller do? Less than 20 years later, he pens the bill that opens the borders of the United States, the Hart Celler Act. Hart really didn't have anything to do with it. I can't remember his first name right now. He was just the goy to help him push it through, to be there, to be like, yes, this is what needs to be done. That's why his name is first. So he got his partition plan, he got his country for his people people, and then he destroyed ours. Continuing Secretary of Defense James Forrestal also tried unsuccessfully to oppose the Zionists. He was outraged that Truman's Mideast policy was based on what he called squalid political purposes, asserting that United States policy should be based on United States national interest interests and not on domestic political considerations. Forrestal represented the general Pentagon view when he said that, quote, no group in this country should be permitted to influence our policy to the point where it could endanger our national security. Great man. Go back and listen to my episode with Philos on James Forrestal and what they did to him. They killed him. He jumped out a window. Allegedly. He allegedly jumped out a window all by himself. He went crazy all by himself. He was in an asylum. Who came to visit him while he was in a hospital? Who came to visit him while he was in there? Go check out the episode. A report by the National Security Council warned that the Palestine turmoil was acutely endangering the security of the United States. A CIA report stressed the strategic importance of the Middle east and its oil resources. Similar. Similarly, George F. Kennan, the State Department's director of Policy Planning issued a top secret document on January 19th 191947 that outlined the enormous damage done by the to the US by the partition plan. Report by the Policy Planning staff on position of the United States with respect to Palestine as footnoted here, Kennan caution that quote important US oil concessions and airbase rights could be lost through US support for partition and warn that the USSR stood to gain by the partition Partition plan. Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson and a legendary intelligence agent was another who was deeply disturbed by events noting, quote, the process by which Zionist Jews have been able to promote American support for the partition of Palestine demonstrates the vital need of a foreign policy based on national rather than partisan interests. Only when the national interests of the United States in their highest terms take precedence over all other considerations can a logical far seeing foreign policy be evolved. No American political leader has the right to compromise American interests to gain partisan votes. Kermit Roosevelt went on, quote the President the present course of world crisis will increasingly force upon Americans the realization that their national interests and those of the proposed Jewish state state in Palestine are going to conflict. It is to be hoped that American Zionists and non Zionists alike will come to grips with the realities of the problem. Truman wrote in his memoirs, quote, I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. There were now a million dues paying Zionists in the U.S. that's what we call a block, a fifth column, basically. Do you think it's gotten any better? Do you think it's grown? Then as now, in addition to unending pressure, there was financial compensation Truman reportedly reportedly received, receiving a suitcase full of money from Zionists while on his campaign trail around the country. Let's check out the footnote on that, where that footnote comes from. Gore Vidal wrote, quote, sometime in the late 1950s that world class gossip and occasional historian John F. Kennedy told me how in 1948 Harry S. Truman had been pretty much abandoned by everyone when he came to run for president. Then an American Zionist brought him $2 million in cash in a suitcase aboard his whistle stop campaign train. Quote, that's why our recognition of Israel was rushed through so fast. Gore Vidal forward. This is in Gore Vidal's Forward to Jewish History, Jewish Religion, the weight of 3,000 years by Israel Shahak, a book that I have read on this ship that I release every once in a while. Re release every once in a while. Anybody ever wonders why, they're like, oh, Pete, Pete released this a couple months ago. Why is he releasing it again? First of all, new people showing up. Second of all, listen to it again. This is how we got here. Abraham Feinberg, this is still reading the footnotes. Abraham Feinberg, in his Truman Library oral history interview, describes arranging for money to be delivered to Truman during his train campaign around the nation. I had already got the commitments for the $100,000 from people around the country, all of whom understood that without Truman, Israel would have had very difficult days and times trying to even come into existence. As the train went into towns where there were Jewish communities, I arranged that a Jewish delegation would ask to see the President and be received on the train and that in, in as many cases as possible, they would bring him donations above these original commitments. So the trip triumphant. So the trip was a triumphant trip from his point of view as a politician. He often said, quote, if not for my friend Abe, I couldn't have made the trip and I wouldn't have been elected. This is Richard D. McKenzie, Abraham Feinberg Oral History Interview, Truman Library, August 23, 1973. We haven't had a country In a very long time. There was a term that basically could get you arrested in the 70s and 80s ZOG Zionist occupied government. I don't care. I'm going to use it as much as possible. If it is not obvious that now it's as bad as it was then, then you're either not paying attention or you refuse to accept that you think it's unseemly to believe these things. New heading. Personal influences on Truman. One person key in such Zionist financial connections to Truman was Abraham Feinberg, a wealthy businessman who was later to play a similar role with President Johnson. Huh. While many Americans have been aware of Truman's come from behind win over Dewey, few people know about the critical role of Feinberg in the Zionist lobby in financing Truman's victory. After Feinberg finance Truman's famous whistle stop campaign tour, Truman credited him with his presidential win. This is in parenthesis. When the CIA later discovered that Feinberg also helped to finance illegal gun running to Zionist groups, the Truman administration looked the other way. Huh. Shocking. An individual inside the US government who worked to influence policy was David K. Niles, executive assistant first to FDR and then to Truman. Niles, according to author Alfred Lilienthal, was a member of a select group of confidential advisors with an often quoted passion for anonymity. Niles, though occasionally publicizes Mr. Truman's mystery man, remained totally unknown to the public behind the scenes. Niall was regularly briefed by the head of the Washington office of the Zionist Organization of America. When it was discovered that top secret information was being passed on to the Israeli government, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Omar Bradley told Truman he had to choose between Bradley and Nile. Not long after Niles resigned and went on a visit to Israel. Another who helped influence Truman was his old Kansas City friend and business partner, Eddie Jacobson, active in B' Nai Brith and a passionate believer in Jewish nationalism who was able to procure Zionist access to the President at key times. Truman called Jacobson's input of decisive importance. Passionate believer in Jewish nationalism. You think he was that passionate about American. About American nationalism or America? Still another was Sam Rosenman, a political advisor to Truman who screened State Department memos sent to Truman. A longtime diplomat reports that one of the department's memos was returned unopened with a notation quote, president Truman already knows your views and doesn't need this. Evan M. Wilson, a career diplomat who had been US Consul General in Jerusalem, later wrote that Truman had been largely motivated by domestic political considerations. At least one of Truman's key Policy speeches was drafted primarily by the Washington representative of the Jewish Agency. Under Secretary of State James E. Webb. In a dispatch to Secretary of State Dean Atchison noted the obvious quote, past records suggest Israel has had more influence with the US than the U has us with Israel. I would say at this point the US has failed to exist and hasn't existed since then. Chapter 10 pro Israel pressure on General assembly members when it was clear that despite US support, the partition recommendation did not have the 2/3 support of the UN General assembly required to pass Zionist Zionists pushed through a delay in the vote. They then used this period to pressure numerous nations into voting the recommendation. A number of people later described this campaign. Robert Nathan, a Zionist who had worked for the US Government and who was particularly active in the Jewish Agency, wrote afterward, quote, we used any tools at hand such as telling certain delegations that the Zionists would use their influence to block economic aid to any country that did not vote for partition. Another Zionist proudly stated, quote, every clue was meticulously checked and pursued. Not the smallest or the remotest of nations but was contacted and wooed. Nothing was left to chance. Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch Another one right before I believe before I did the Forrestal James Forrestal episode with Philos, we did one on Bernard Barouk. Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch. And now let me just say Bernard Baruch enemy James Forestall hero Just so you know that starting this sentence for the third time, my apologies. Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch told France it would lose US Aid if it voted against parts of partition. Top White House presidential aide David Niles organized pressure on Liberia through rubber magnate Harvey Firestone, who told the Liberian president that if Liberia did not vote in favor of partition, Firestone would revoke his planned expansion in the country. Liberia voted yes. Latin American delegates were told that the Pan American highway construction project would be more likely if they voted yes. Delegates wives received mink coats. The wife of the Cuban delegate returned hers. Costa Rica's President Jose Figueres reportedly received a blank checkbook. Haiti was promised economic aid if it would change its original vote opposing partition. Longtime Zionist Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter along with 10 senators and Truman domestic advisors Clark Clifford threatened the Philippines. Seven bills on the Philippines were pending in Congress before the vote on the plan. The Philippine delegate has given a Had given a passionate speech against partition defending the inviolable PR. Primordial rights of a people to determine their political future and preserve the territorial integrity of Their native land. The delegate went on to say that he could not believe that the General assembly would sanction a move that would place the world back on the road to the dangerous principles of racial exclusiveness and to the archaic documents of theocratic governments. Basically what he's saying is we just fought a world war because a bunch of countries thought that they could remain German or Italian or just. They could remain what they were, what they've been since, you know, for centuries. But now we have to let this small group. Group bend our will so that they can have their ethnostate and they can have their theocracy. We can't even close the fucking borders without people screaming that it's evil. That you know, you're oh, you're fascist, you're this, you're that. Yet this small group can throw their weight. We allow them to throw their weight around so that they could get their own country and operate their borders however they want. And then one of their biggest friggin influences in this country, who's a senator, Emmanuel Seller, he can do that. He can threaten the President of the United States and then swing open our borders wide. And then when you complain about that, it's anti Semitism. Go fuck yourselves. We don't have a country if we don't stop this. We don't have a nation if we don't stop this. We don't have a people if we don't stop this. And the only reason you may see some of them now calling for closed borders is because it's come back to bite them in the ass. It's all about them. They don't care about you. They care about their survival and their thriving, their diaspora. This does not even mention the fact that they went through all of this to have their own country and then they won't go there. They want to stay here and be able to just absolutely be parasitic on us or on Europe on anywhere they go. 24 hours later, after intense Zionist pressure, the Philippine delegate voted in favor of partition on November 29, 1947. UN General Assembly Resolution 181, the resolution creating partition passed. While this resolution is frequently cited, it was of limited, if any, legal impact. General assembly resolutions, unlike Security Council revolutions, are not binding on member states. For this reason, the resolution requested that the Security Council take the necessary measures as provided for in the plan for its implementation, which the Security Council never did. Legally. The General assembly resolution was a recommendation and did not create any states. What it did do, however, was increase the fighting in Palestine. Within months, the Zionists had forced out over 413,000 people. People. So basically there were 413,000 people who lived there for centuries, for a millennia. And this group used all of their power and wealth that they've. And influence that they've figured out that they've basically cheated people out of over the centuries when it comes to money. Definitely. Look, sorry, I've written read these books where they brag about it to force out almost half a million people who have lived there for centuries. That means land without people without a land, right? Or I guess they were all evil, right? They're all evil Muslims. Do you know how many of these people were Christians? A lot. Zionist military units had stealthily been preparing for war before the UN vote and had acquired massive weaponry, some of it through a widespread network of illicit gun running operations in the US under a new number of front groups. As mentioned above, on May 15, Zionists announced the creation of their new state. They decided to name it Israel and chose not to set its boundaries or to write a constitution. A situation which, yeah, they still don't have a constitution there. Five Arab armies joined the fighting. But contrary to general perceptions of this war, Zionist Israeli forces outnumbered the combined Arab and Palestinian combat patents. Basically what you have here, people talk about, oh they all these Arabs and Muslims just started coming from other countries basically. It would be like if somebody invaded, if a foreign entity invaded Alabama and then Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina sent armies to help repel the invasion. If a foreign entity, if a foreign army came and started forcing people out of Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia sent armies. That's what it was, had nothing to do with, with Islam. It has to do with the fact that there are people, yes, they might happen to be Muslim, but Christians from, if they did that here, Christians from Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia would come. The fact that they were Christians may have a little bit to do with it, but it wouldn't. Can we fucking stop with the bullshit already? They've already bragged that they brought, they brought terrorism to the Middle East. Jews, Zionists, if you're scared to use that term. The UN eventually managed to create a temporary and very partial ceasefire which during Israel obtained even more. Which is. Which. During which Israel obtained even more armament. A Swedish UN mediator, Count Folk Bernadotte, who had previously rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis. He basically had negotiated to get Jews out of, out of concentration camps. He was dispatched to negotiate an end to the violence. Israeli assassins killed him and Israel continued what it was to call its war of independence. How can invading army call it a war of independence? Why would you do anything nice for these people if they're just going to fucking kill you? Why are we still putting up with this? At the end of this war, through ruthless implementation of plans to push out as many non Jews as possible, Israel came into existence on 78% of Palestine. But let us take a closer look at the violence that followed the UN recommendation. I'm done. I'm friggin you can. We'll do this on episode seven. All right, take care everyone. Have a good weekend and spend time with people you love. Take care. Bye. All right, here we go. Part 7 of Against Our Better Judgment by Alison Weir. Last episode got me worked up so. Gee, I wonder. I'm going to talk about massacres and the conquest of Palestine. See how much better I do this time. All right, here we go. Chapter 11. Massacres and the Conquest of Palestine. The passing of the partition resolution in November 1947 triggered the violence of the State Department and Pentagon analysts had predicted and for which Zionists had been preparing. So the State Department of Pentagon knew this was going to happen and Zionists were preparing for the violence. There were at least 33. That number just. I love how that number triggers spurg so much. There were at least 33 massacres of Palestinian villages, half of them before a single Arab army joined the conflict. So the narrative you will hear Zionists and Jews say is that as soon as they showed up, Arabs from all over the place just poured over the borders for no reason because Jews were there. They wanted to kill Jews. According to this, there were at least 33 massacres of Palestinian villages, half of them before a single Arab army. Shut up. To the conflict. So what is the. Ah, okay, so the looking for. Oh, she just lists out all of the villages and the dates that these massacres took place. And it's from Khomsaya. Palestinian refugees. Right. To return and repartition. Zionist forces were better equipped and had more men under arms than their opponents. If you remember from my 200 Years Together series, Dr. Johnson reiterates over and over and over again that the Jews in Russia, especially in Ukraine, the revolutionaries, were far better equipped than their Russian counterparts. Why? Because they were getting arms from overseas, they were getting arms from other places, they were better financed. The police forces there. You're not really used to violence when you have a monoculture, but introduce a foreign element, especially a foreign element as such. And here's what happens. Zionist forces were better equipped and had more men under arms than Their opponents. And by the end of Israel's quote, unquote war of independence, over 750,000 Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled. Zionists succeeded in their first half of their goal. Israel, the self described Jewish state, had come into existence so that 750,000 Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled from their homes. Homes. And their homes were taken over by Jews. They call that in Palestine and in the Arab world, the Nakba. It's the catastrophe. When you mention it to a Zionist or a Jew nowadays, especially one who is militant Zionist, they will say that's a made up term. You mean like pogrom? Only one group in the world is allowed to have a term for their. For what's allegedly happened to them. As Israeli historian Tom Segev writes, Israel was born of terror, war and revolution, and its creation required a measure of fanaticism and cruelty. The massacres were carried out by Zionist forces, including Zionist militias that had engaged in terrorist attacks in the area for years. Years. Proceeding to partition resolution. Okay, so what is the. I mean, anyone who knows anything knows this, but hold on, something on my glasses bothered me. Violence between. The footnote says violence between Zionists and Palestinians began in the 1920s, with both sides at times killing civilians. Palestinian uprisings against Zionist colonialism occurred in 1920 and 1929 and against the British in 1936. That's from Ilan. I think it was Ilan, Papa. I can't remember his first name, but Papa's ethnic cleansing. I think it's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Page 14. Zionists created the Haganah in 1920. Same book, the Irguni in, was founded in 1931. Split off from the Hagana, the Stern Gang was founded in 1940. Betar, a youth movement, was founded by Ziv Jabotinsky in 1923 in Europe. Europe with training camps dotted about Europe. That's from Bell's Terror out of Zion, page 19. Historian J. Bauer Bell reports that members who went to Palestine foresaw Zion redeemed. Foresaw, quote, Zion redeemed through a blood sacrifice. I wonder what that means. In the 1930s, the Iroquois perpetrated a number of attacks on Palestinian civilians. From Bell's Terror out of Zion, page 20. 21. Pape writes that the 1936 Arab revolt gave the Haganah a chance to practice military tactics, quote, mostly in the form of retaliatory operations against such targets as roadside snipers for thieves taking good goods from a kibbutz. The main objective, however, seems to have been to intimidate Palestinian communities who happen to live in proximity to Jewish settlements. All right, let's see. Okay. The massacres were carried out by Zionist forces, including Zionist militias that engage in terrorist attacks in the area for years preceding the partition resolution. Descriptions of the massacres by both Palestinian and Israelis are nightmarish. An Israeli eyewitness reported that at the village of Al the Wayma, the children they killed by breaking. The children they killed by breaking their heads with stones. There was not a house without dead. One soldier boasted that he had raped the woman and then shot her. One Palestinian woman testified that a man shot her nine month old pregnant sister and then cut her stomach open with a butcher knife. Okay, well, I mean, and I've heard exaggerations and ridiculous claims from both sides. Now what I know is people are being killed and just people who have lived there, whose families have lived there for a thousand years are being removed and a lot of people are being killed, killed. And I know that women, that Palestinian women were raped by Jewish men because I saw a documentary with a bunch of the men who participated in this and one of them was bragging about it. So unless he's lying, which, I mean, there's a really good chance he's lying. But you know, one of the better documented massacres occurred in a small neutral Palestinian village called Dire Yassan Yassin in April 1948, before any Arab armies had joined the war. So another, again, they will tell you Arabs just poured in from. And you know, I used last time, the, or not last time, maybe a couple episodes ago, the example of if Alabama was invaded by a foreign force, I assume knowing that problems, there'd be problems from coming from elsewhere, that even if the, even though you would expect the government, the federal government to do something about it, but if we have some lunatic leftists in charge, they may not care about Alabama, but forces from Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, even northern Florida, the Panhandle may send forces to help because they know that they may be next. Yeah, this wasn't. We've already had Menachem beginning brag that Jews brought not only terrorism to the Middle east, but they brought it to the world. What you will hear Zionists argue is that these Arab armies that were, that were going to come and join in the war against the Jew, against these invading Jews and Zionists are terrorists. They're reacting to terrorism. It's just like in Russia when revolutionaries took up arms and tried to overthrow the government. Whenever anybody fought back, they were called pogromists or Murderers or people trying to commit genocide. Same thing here. A Swiss Red Cross representative was one of the first to arrive on the scene where he found 254 dead, including 145 women and 35 of them pregnant. Witnesses reported that the attacks attackers lined up families, men, women, grandparents and children, even infants, and shot them. Okay, I don't know about the whole infants and children thing. I am not, I believe the men, women and grandparents. So I'm willing to steal man it and give the benefit of the doubt. Of course, Zionists aren't an eyewitness. A future colonel in the Israeli military later wrote of the militia members. They didn't know how to fight, but as murderers they were pretty good. So just bragging. Let's see. That's from Daniel McGowan, a Jewish eyewitness. An interview with Mayor Payel in Remembering Dayar the Future of Israel and Palestine by Daniel McGowan and Mark Ellis, book 1998, page 40. Israeli military historian Colonel Meir Payal, who was then a member of the Haganah terrorist organization. You can actually, if you go on the Jewish virtual library they call, they will call it a terrorist organization, was at Dairy Hasan acting as a communications officer and witness parts of the massacre. I'm sure whenever you want to say that you didn't. Whenever someone wants to say they, they weren't taking part, they always say communications officer or medic or something like that. But anyway, the Red Cross representative who found the bodies at Diar Y arrived in time to see some of the killing in action. He wrote in his diary that Zionist militia members were still entering houses with guns and knives. When he arrived, he saw one young woman, a Jewish woman carrying a blood covered dagger and saw another stab an old couple in their draw in their doorway. The representative wrote that the scene reminded him of SS troops he had seen in Athens. No idea what that means. Richard Catling, British Assistant Inspector General for the Criminal Investigation Division, reported on sexual atrocities committed by Zionist forces. Quote, many young girls were raped and later slaughtered. He reported old women were also molested. This I do believe because I've heard Zionists at the time, Jews at the time, interviews with them later in years. And they talked about this. And one of them went as far as to say is, you know, someone asked, well, what does your wife think of this? He's like, I never told my wife that I did these things. Do you think it would even matter? Really? Do you think I matter to his wife? I don't think so. The Dir Yassin attack was perpetrated by two Zionist militias and coordinated with the main Zionist forces whose elite unit participated in part of the operation. The head of the two militias, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, later became prime ministers of Israel. But it's the Arabs that are terrorists. You. It's amazing to me that you can't call Israel a terrorist state. I mean, I understand it's over the top. It's hyperbolic and too many goofy fucking leftists pieces of shit say that. But I mean literally, you had Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir. Menachem Begin, who says we. We invented terrorism, brought it into the world and brought it to the Middle east. And Yitzhak Shamir, I mean two who were literal terrorists and killed innocent and basically ethnically cleanse the land that they became prime ministers. And you're not. And. But you're not allowed to call it a terrorist state, no matter how lefty bullshit it sounds. Begin, head of the Irgun militia, sent the following message to his troops about their victory at Dir. Yassin, quoting, this is all going to be one quote. Accept my congratulations on the splendid act of conquest. Convey my regards to all the commanders and soldiers. We shake your hands. We are all proud of the excellent leadership and the fighting spirit in this great attack. We stand to attention in memory of the slain. We lovingly shake the hands of the wounded. Tell the soldiers you have made history in Israel with your attack and your conquests. Continue thus until victory as in dairy. So everyone, everywhere, we will attack and smite the enemy. Me, God, God, Thou has chosen us for conquest. Approximately six months later, Begin, who had publicly taken credit for other terrorist attacks, including blowing up the King David Hotel In Jerusalem, killing 91 people, came on a tour of America. Isn't that great? The tour sponsors included famous playwright Ben Hecht, a fervent Zionist who applauded Irgun violence and eventually included 11 senators, 12 governors, 70 congressmen, 17 justices and numerous other public officials. Yeah, yeah. If you want to understand why, like no one in our government will to cry or condemn Israeli violence. You know where Israel just launches bombs at Tehran, a capital city, a city with civilians. But as soon as Iran launches missiles back and they land in Tel Aviv, where Israel uses human shields to hide unit 8200 and a bunch of their. Basically a bunch of their intelligence and military outfits are not like out on the outskirts of town where they can be. No, they're in the middle of town. But you will hear Jews scream all day about human shields. So we watched A launch on Tehran, saw apartment buildings hit, like, oh, we took out a leader probably, and his family. The family lived beneath it, lived above it. Half the people in the building, perfectly fine. No one in our government will condemn it. Half the people in this country won't condemn it. But as soon as Iran launches back, that needs to be condemned. I mean, this is the same thing. They cry out in anger as they strike you. They cry out in pain as they strike you. Oh, my God, look what I'm doing to you. You made me do this. Look at all the pain. So back in 1948, 11 senators, 12 governors, 70 congressmen, 17 justices and numerous other public officials came out to celebrate Menachem Begin. And I guarantee you they knew everything that they did over there. The King David Hotel. Bombing, diarrhea, sin. All of it. All of it. The State Department. The State Department, yeah. That makes. That's about right. The State Department, fully aware of his violent activities in Palestine, tried to reject BEGINS visa, but was overruled by Truman. I mean, probably Emmanuel Seller was in there beating on the Resolute desk, right? Saying, we'll run you out of town. Begin later proudly admitted his terrorism in an interview for American television. When the interviewer asked him, how does it feel in light of all that's going on, to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East? East Begging and proclaimed in the Middle east, in all the world. She just repeated this, but we went over this earlier. All right, chapter 12. US front groups for Zionist Militarism. See how long this is. So I don't know how long we're gonna go here. This might be a little bit long, but. Ah, fine. A number of groups operated in the US to support Zionist paramilitary groups in Palestine. These often employed clandestine methods and deceptive names. I mean, I don't think. I think we've already seen that. The general American public had little idea about the true nature of these groups and what they were supporting. A Irgun delegation. Hillel Kook as Peter Bergson. A covert Irgun delegation. Irgun is a terrorist group. They openly admit that it was a terrorist group. A covert Irgun delegation operated in the US from the late 1930s through 1948 under a half dozen front organizations, including Emergency Committee to Save European Jewry and American Friends of a Jewish Palestine. The main leader was Hillel Kuk, the senior Irgun official working outside Palestine. Upon coming to the U.S. he assumed the alias Peter Bergson, and the group is often called the Bergson Boys. Book's been written about the Bergson Boys. The other leader was Yitzhak Ben Ami, father of Jeremy Ben Ami, founder of today's lobbying organization J Street. They're still here people. They didn't go anywhere. Also closely involved was Ari Jabotinsky, son of right wing Zionist leader Vladimir Zev Jabotzinski. Also associated with the group was meir Kahana, who 20 years later founded the violent Jewish Defense League. Though historians have documented that their purpose in coming to the US was to raise money for Ergon activities in Palestine, this was unknown to the multitude of high level supporters the group even eventually required. These supporters included Eleanor Roosevelt, Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dorothy Parker, Herbert Hoover, Will Rogers Jr. Labor leader William Green, U.S. solicitor General Fowler Harper and U.S. interior Secretary Harold Ickes. The FBI, however, suspected this illegal fundraising. It investigated the front group several times but largely bundled the investigations and failed to produce evidence. As author Rafael Medovation divulges quote. In fact, according to Bergson lobbyist Baruch Rabinowitz, funds raised by the Bergsonites in the United States were indeed secretly transferred to the Irgun. The methods of transfer were simply so well concealed that the FBI could not uncover them. Well, when you own half the politicians, right? But oh, now they own all of them. Their biographer, Israeli professor Judith Baumel writes that the Irgun delegation quickly set about integrating themselves into the social and political culture of their temporary home. They quickly grasped the public mood, molded to a large extent by propaganda and public relations, was a dominant force in the American system of direct representation. And they soon became masters of media manipulation. I love that it says the political culture of their temporary home which so many of them don't want to leave. Just know, Consider the amounts that don't consider this to be their home. But they won't leave. But they won't leave us alone. They won't. They continue to influence everything we do politically at the highest levels. Thus, besides their secret funneling of money for terrorist activities in Palestine against Palestinians, the British and members of the Jewish community, the Ergun delegation engaged in numerous public activities pushing for the Jewish state in Palestine. They lobbied Congress and the White House, organized a march on Washington D.C. of 500 rabbis and placed full page ads in newspapers around the U.S. they also produced a pageant called We Will Never Die celebrating the Jewish contribution to Western Civilization. Written by Ben Heck, directed by Moss Hart. Heart, featuring music by Kurt Weil and starring Edward G. Robinson. The cast also included Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, 100 yeshiva students from Brooklyn and 50 Orthodox rabbis. 40,000 attended the extravaganza's New York performances. It then went on to play in most of America's largest cities. The group produced several other plays and rallies, one of which starred a young Marlon Brando and brought in $1 million. We never had a chance, but at least now we know, right? People didn't even know at that point. There were some. Look what happened to them. Think of the original America first, the real America First. Baume reports to an American Jewish leader who had immigrated to Palestine wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt asking her to withdraw support from the Brando production because its profits were being used to fund terrorist activity. Eleanor ignored this advice, apparently unaware that it was well founded. During World War II, the various organizations created by the Irgun delegation frequently pushed for rescuing European Jews from the Nazis. Nazis. But one of their major demands was for the creation of a Jewish army of stateless and Palestinian Jews. The idea was that the Allies should create a Jewish army to fight alongside them against the Nazis. However, certain right wing Zionists had sought this army even before the Nazi Holocaust began. And some analysts argue it was a plan with a mixed agenda. Historian William Rubenstein writes, quote, it is rather difficult to believe that Bergson's implausible proposal did not have far more to do with creating the nucleus of a Jewish Palestinian force to be used against the British and the Arabs than with saving Europe's Jews from the Nazis. So basically what he's saying is he's saying this wasn't supposed to do anything to help fight the Nazis. This was to help fight. This was to fight against Palestinians and British and the Arabs. One supporter, best selling author Pierre Vanpossen, resigned when he learned that various delegations spawned committees to save Jews were all being run by the same small group and they were all tied to horrific terrorist actions in Palestine. I'm just reading this talking about how Jews went to Palestine and just went there and brought terrorism there. Yet you say this to Zionists and they attack you and they say no, that didn't happen. Or they make excuses. It wasn't terrorism, it was revolutionary. It was our war for independence. The people invading a land and saying, saying that this is our war for independence. He declared that he did not believe that they had the means or intention to truly save Jews from the Nazis. Writing, quote, to speak bluntly, that Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe is a hoax in my judgment, a very cruel hoax perpetrated on the American public, Jewish and non Jewish alike. Some at the time and since have considered the delegation's efforts heroic. But critics point out that it did not manage to rescue any Jews during the Nazi Holocaust, though it may have helped contribute to the pressure on President Roosevelt to later create a war refugee Board. I mean, it didn't. It didn't help to consider it, but critics pointed out it didn't during. Though it helped. So I mean. I mean, what was the purpose of it. If their fellow Jews in Europe were in danger? If we had. If their Americans in danger in another country, we'd probably do anything we could to get them out or help them. At least the same when we had a sane government. But they don't want that. They honestly believe that it's all right to sacrifice people as long as it helps us achieve our goals. The group had numerous opponents among Jewish leaders, both Zionists and anti Zionists. Some, unlike the general public, were aware of their secret connections to Menachem Begins Organ, whose violent tactics many found abhorrent, particularly when they targeted the British at a time that England was fighting to defeat Hitler. The most effective way, many felt to rescue Jews. It's amazing that while the world. While the world was at war, while. While the whole world basically came together to fight fascism and took the side of communism. And I know that causes so much cognitive dissonance in people. I love bringing that up to people when they talk about how we had to defeat the Nazis. And I say, yeah, by fighting on the side of communism. And then they get half of Europe too. Yeah, choke on it. Choke on it, motherfuckers. Biographer Baume writes that the more mainstream Zionist establishment was disturbed by the clandestine nature of the committee's formation and the absence of any hint as its intention. This division among Zionists was largely hidden from view, however, as a delegation aimed for the American man on the street. Using tantalizing slogans, illustrated frustrated advertisements and seductive curiosity wedding gimmicks. Mamel notes that Irgun's delegations. The Irgun delegation's primary triumph was to understand the power of Madison Avenue. Yeah. Author Raphael Medoff describes the importance of that understanding. The violent behavior of the Jewish forces in Palestine would have surely undermined American public sympathy for the Zionist cause if not for the efforts of the Jewish Jewish Underground's American friends. This public relations crusade was critical in building American support. So to continue, I got sidetracked before. While everyone's off fighting and dying in Europe, these people are invading a land and bringing terrorism to the Middle east and killing and raping and. And starting a propaganda. I mean, starting a widespread propaganda campaign that includes numerous politicians in this country to support them and what they do while men are dying while 70 million are dying in Europe. After World War II, the delegation became involved in the sometimes secretive, sometimes very public movement of European Jews to Palestine. One purpose, Ben Ami explained, was to build up the Irgun terror forces. We must build a network in Europe capable of moving thousands of Irgun soldiers to Palestine. This intention, however, was not announced to the general public. Bergson, Kook's uncle, was Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Kook, often known as Rabbi Kook the Elder. Rabbi Kook was originally from Eastern Europe. Shocking. Had worked toward the Balfour Declaration in Britain. Shocking. And eventually became the Chief Rabbi of Palestine because of course, he did. Perhaps his most significant accomplishment was to devise an ideology that merged a Kabbalistic version of religious Judaism with political Zionism, founding an extremist religious Zionism that continues in existence today. Again, go back and read. Go back and listen to my reading or go find a copy of the book Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak, a Jew who lived in Israel, and he will explain to you how Judaism today has nothing to do with the Bible. Bible. They're not even monotheists, they're polytheists. Sex, magic and all sorts of bullshit. The Kabbalah teaches that non Jews are the embodiment of Satan and that the world was created solely for the sake of Jews. Rabbi Kook, who achieved saintly status among his followers in Israel and the US stated, the difference between a Jewish soul and, and, and souls of non Jews is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle. Yeah, that's why they can kill children and then just tell you, oh well, they were human shields. Hamas was using them as human shields. And you go, yes, yes, I, I believe that. I believe that. Set clapping fucking seals. In addition to spanning the Jewish religious secular continuum, the Irgun delegation span the political spectrum from left to right. Baume writes that it evinced many of the unique characteristics of Eastern European proto fascism while also forming partnerships with communists and Jews who belong to left wing American groups. No difference, same thing. So this Jewish religious secularism continue secular continuum. The Irgun delegation span the political spectrum from left to right. If you have people on the left and you have people on the right and the people on the right are working and the people on the left are working and you've covered both sides. That's called the kosher sandwich. B Rabbi Korf and the Political Action Committee for Palestine, another terrorist front group and PR machine was formed by an Orthodox rabbi named Baruch Korf who achieved tremendous mainstream success. And became well known in the us. His underground activities, on the other hand, were considerably less known. Korf had earlier been executive director of one of the Bergson Group's entities before starting his own splinter group, the Political Action Committee for Palestine. Corf used many of the same tactics as Kook while also building close relationships with various active and former congressmen. Corf combined these strong political connections and PR machinations to extraordinary, if duplicitous, effect. One example, which historian Rafael Medov calls a particularly well choreographed stunt, involved a former Republican congressman, Joseph Joseph Clark Baldwin of New York. At Corf's request, Baldwin, who had friendly relations with President Truman, staged a highly publicized visit to England and Palestine in 1946. Corf then composed Baldwin's official report of the visit which called on England and the United States to recognize Palestine as an independent democracy of which homeless European Jews shall be considered citizens. Then, immediately after writing Baldwin's report, Corf put out a press release criticizing one aspect of the report in order to make it appear that Baldwin was not a puppet of the Political Action Committee for Palestine, but rather had visited London and Jerusalem with an open mind and returned with his own conclusions. Baldwin here is just a. I mean a useful idiot and apparently didn't speak out against. It really makes you wonder when you hear all this Epstein stuff how long this has been going on. Corf was also involved in a terrorist plot that was foiled in the last minute by a young American World War II aviator studying in France. British intelligence had discovered in 1946 that Jewish terrorists, including Corf, were planning to assassinate the British Foreign Minister. For some reason, details about this were heavily censored from the British public for many years. But in 2003, the British security files were finally released. In 1947, Corfin, his group hatched a plan to drop bombs on the British Foreign office along with 10,000 threatening leaflets quoting we will carry the war to the very heart of the British Empire. The leaflets were to read, read, we will strike with all the bitterness and fury of our servitude and bondage. Let's check the 283. This is from French arresting Irnest AIDS after exposure of alleged plot to bomb London. This is from the Jewish Telegraph Agency. This is. I'm reporting on themselves telling you what they did. They do this all the time. You're supposed. Here's the thing, you're supposed to celebrate it. If you criticize it, then you're an anti Semite. The group tried to recruit a young American aviator in Paris to fly a plane from which the bombs would be dropped, promising him lucrative jobs. After the mission was completed, it had probably put a bullet in his head. The aviator Reginald Gilbert had flown 136 combat missions over Europe during World War II, shooting down three German planes and damaging seven. Gilbert pretended to agree with the plot but instead informed the American Embassy and then worked with Scotland Yard and the Paris police to have the would be assassins arrested. French police who said they feared for the flyer's life if the Stern gang ever caught up with him. Them then flew him to London until he could return to the US Almost no one remembers this plot today, but it was headline news at the time in newspapers across the United States. While some news accounts revealed the full plot, reports quickly stopped mentioning the bombs and recounted only the plan to drop the threatening leaflets. Someone was leaning on spokes, people or reporters to make sure only part of the story got out. Who could that have been? And it could be powerful Jews. It could be the politicians they own. I mean who owned the press. But they couldn't keep Gilbert quiet. In a firsthand account of the plot published by the New York Herald Tribune, Gilbert confirmed that the group had planned much more than a leaflet drop. The first idea had been to drop bombs on British Parliament but the target was subsequently changed to the Foreign Ministry because Corf held a grudge against the office for refusing him a visa to Palestine. It's funny that they didn't. Was no plan to drop anything on the City of London. Trademark. City of London, one square mile. Where all the banks and everything is. Huh? What? Why wouldn't they do that? In his article, Gilbert recounted a conversation he had with Corf while playing along with the plot, which he continues to do at the direction of Paris police. He says he told core fog might prevent them from locating their exact target. To which Corf replied that they could just drop the bombs anywhere on London. When Gilbert protested that innocent people might be killed, Corf replied they are British so they are our enemy. Just know, replace British there with anyone who's not a Jew. I'll be, I'll be charged Zionist. After being arrested by Paris police and charged with illegal possession of explosives and war weapons, Corf came. Corf came up with various stories. At one point he claimed that Gilbert had been the guilty party. Next, he and Hillel Kook, using his alias Peter Bergson, claimed that the plot was a British frame up and that Gilbert was a British alien agent. In other versions, Corf claimed that the British Nazi party fabricated the story. A claim picked up by the British Weekly News Review. According to the London Times, Corf later said that millions of dollars had been subscribed by private American sources to fund the purchase of the aircraft. So American sources, let's quote unquote American sources there were going to fund this. Powerful allies proclaimed that Corf was innocent and brought pressure on the State Department to help him. These allies included Corf's contacts in Congress and his father, Rabbi Jacob Corf, who was leader of the Boston Jewish Rabbinate and wielded considerable influence. When he died, the Massachusetts governor and Boston mayor attended his funeral, which was accompanied by a 5,000-person march. By November 22, all charges were dropped. In 1948, Baruch Korf had the temerity to publish a large advertisement in the New York Post calling a State Department policy against enforcing the partition of Palestine, pure and simple. Anti Semitism, plain, everyday anti Semitism incorporated into the hearts and minds of those who govern free America. Later, Corf became a close friend and fervent supporter of President Richard Nixon, who called him my rabbi. Corf is reported to have influenced Nixon's strong support for Israel and efforts to allow Soviet Jews to emigrate. It appears that Nixon was unaware of Corf's terror connection past. According to a book on Nixon by investigative reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bald Bernstein, CIA operatives who also appear to have been ignorant of Corf's background. Bullshit. Corf introduced him to Nixon as just a small town rabbi. Corf introduced himself to Nixon as just a small town rabbi. Corf served as chaplain for the Massachusetts Department of mental health for 21 years. He later acted as a consultant to Brown University in conjunction with the school's acquisition of his extensive archives. According to London Independent, Corf had many supporters in high places, including prime ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Golda Meir C. The Sonneborn Institute, a third collective of front groups, was the secret American arm of the main Zionist paramilitary in Palestine, the Haganah. Known as the Sonneborn Institute, it was founded by an American, Rudolf G. Sonneborn, in conjunction David Ben Gurion, who led Zionist forces in Palestine. Sonneborn Zion, of a wealthy German Jewish family from Baltimore, had met Ben Gurion in 1919. Sonneborn had traveled to the Versailles Peace Conference as a secretary of a Zionist delegation at the behest of Supreme Court Justice Brandeis, a family friend, and afterward went on a tour of Palestine. But conspiracies don't exist, Bro, you're paranoid. In 1945, Sonneborn and Ben Gurion hosted a meeting of 17 well connected guests at Sonneborn's Manhattan penthouse. Ben Gurion informed the group that their purpose was to form an underground organization to raise money and support for purposes which could not be publicized or even fully disclosed. Closed the guests came from Los Angeles, Toronto, Miami, Birmingham, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Newark, New Haven and New York. One was a rabbi, five were lawyers, and the others were highly successful businessmen. The organization was eventually to have representatives in at least 35 to 40 industry groups. And in one month alone there were meetings in Memphis, Ohio, New Jersey, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City City, Baton rouge, Dallas, Washington D.C. and 40 more were scheduled. They also organized Zionist youth groups whose young members sometimes helped loaded load guns onto boats headed for Palestine for use in taking over the land for a Jewish state. Nazi youth US activities tried to stop these illegal and damaging activity. Activ US authorities tried to stop these illegal and damaging activities. In 1948, the Director of Central Intelligence filed a top secret report with the Secretary of Defense about the Zionist arms trafficking. He warned US national security is unfavorably affected by these developments and it could be seriously jeopardized by continued illicit traffic in the quote, unquote implements of war. But like the other Zionist front groups discussed above, the Sonneborn Institute had friends in high places. Author Grant Smith reports that under Truman, quote, haganah operated operative groups active in arms trafficking within the US like the terrorist charges would only be lightly investigated and seldom persecuted prosecuted. So they could openly traffic in arms within the United States and then send them overseas. The amount of American money mobilized for Zionism during this period is impossible to know, but indications suggest that it was astronomical. The Jewish Agency for Israel raised the equivalent in Today's dollars of 3.5 billion between 1939 and May 1948 alone, and has been described above. This was just one of the numerous Zionist organizations raising money from Americans. Stop right there. This was a longer one. I mean, I mean, what's the takeaway from all this? And I'm going to finish this, of course. We don't have a country. We haven't in a very long time. That's it. Be back in a couple days with Chapter 13 infiltrating displaced persons camps in Europe to funnel people to Palestine. Take care, everyone. Everyone, see you in a couple days. All right, let's do part eight of Against Our Better Judgment by Allison. We're just finished doing the Sunday live stream. And I'm like, oh, well, well, let's just get it done. We are here, so let's do it. Alrighty, Here we go. Chapter 13. Infiltrating displaced persons Camps in Europe to funnel people to Palestine A similar underground campaign was operated in Europe. Zionist cadres infiltrated displaced persons camps that had been set up to house refugees displaced by. During World War II, these infiltrators tried secretly to funnel people to Palestine. When it turned out that most didn't want to go to Palestine, they worked to convince them, sometimes by force. The fact was that Zionists needed more people to go to Palestine. As Ben Gurion stated in 1944, the essence of Zionism is one of a populating endeavor to populate Israel with multitudes of Jews. Gee, isn't that what they do with weaponized immigration now? Like HIAs Hebrew immigrant aid Society, you just, you know, if you want people to take over, you're going to need multitudes. If you want people to crowd out who's already there to punish who's already there, you crowd as many people as possible. Israeli professor Yosef Grudzinski explains that Zionists were looking for Shomer Enoshi Tov good human materials, a phrase Zionist organizers frequently used. Convincing Jews to uproot themselves and move to Palestine proved to be a formidable task. When life is good, people tend to stay where they are. Candidates for Palestine immigration, therefore had to be Jews whose life was not good. Good. Post Holocaust DPs displaced persons became a human res reserve of great immigration potential. Hence a prime target for the Zionists. A senior Mossad commander anticipated that even these might not wish to come to Palestine and would need to be actively recruit recruited. Quoting we must not think that thousands upon thousands will come knocking at the country's gates once they open. The Zionist movement must understand that it must be first on the market when only a minority of Jewish refugees wish to go to Palestine. A report by Zionist operative Rabbi Klausner concluded the people must be forced to go to Palestine. Author Alfred Lilienthal reports that Zionists working in the refugee camps employed numerous means to compel residents to agree to go to Palestine. Palestine, including confiscation of food rations, dismissal from work, expulsion from the camps, taking away legal protections and visa rights, and in one case quote, even the public flogging of a recalcitrant recruit for the Israel army. End quote. The Jewish Brigade of the British Army, a unit long sought by Zionists and finally created it in the final months of the war. War was one of the first on the scene. Its soldiers and officers turned into clandestine emissaries of the Zionist movement. Grudzinski Reports quote, one role brigade soldiers took upon themselves was to gather Jewish children hidden away in monasteries or with non Jewish families. He writes, quote, jewish orphans were to be found in many places having survived thanks to the goodness of Christian families and institutions that hid them them throughout the war, end quote. Now the brigade soldiers directed by the Jewish Agency's Diaspora center were retrieving them and taking them to special orphanages where they were to be cared for, receive Zionist education and be trained for immigration to Palestine. Grudzinski reports that the process was not always easy. Many families who rescued Jewish children were not treating them as if they were their own, were now, okay, let me repeat that. My apologies. Many families who rescue rescued Jewish children were now treating them as if they were their own. To retrieve these children, brigade men occasionally resorted to force, end quote. Future Israeli Major General Yossi Peled and his sisters were among them. They had been raised by a Christian family almost from infancy. Brigade soldiers, quote, came in one day armed and threatened the adoptive parents, saying that these are Jewish children and they must give us and they must give us away, otherwise they would suffer. They had no choice but hand us over and we were put in a Jewish orphanage in Belgium. The children tried to refuse to leave the house and one of his sisters later said that her brothers screams till her her brother's screams still echo in her head head. One of the best known orphanages, Salvino House, was run by brigade soldiers who implemented strict rules, including requiring that only Hebrew be spro be spoken. Children were not permitted to leave the orphanage to search for relatives out of concern that they might then stay in Europe rather than go to Palestine. But they all these people care about his family, right? Right. Grudzinski goes on to report the thousands of children pass through such institutions, quote, their period of residence there being just another part of the journey to the Promised Land. End quote. In July 1945, Zionists organized the first congress of Jewish Survivors in Germany, which issued a proclamation calling for the immediate establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. While the proclamation claimed to represent the survivors, in reality most of the ten signatories were Zionist envoys from Palestine. Future Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion believed that Palestine should be the only destination for Jewish survivors. Grudzinski and other Israeli authors provide little known context for the odyssey of the 4,500 survivors from German camps who set sail in July 1970, 1947 as illegal immigrants on a ship later named Exodus. Brute Kimmerling, an Israeli professor and author of nine books on the founding tenets of Zionism writes, quote, the real story of the ship was far less glorious than the one told in Leon Urus's 1958 bestseller and Otto Preminger's 1960 film Israel. Israeli author author Edith Zertl calls it an orchestrated media event. Kimmerling, citing Zertal's research, writes that Ben Gurion felt that the plight of the Jewish refugees in Europe needed to be dramatized in order to attract more sympathy for the Jewish struggle over Palestine. While many people have heard that British authorities refused to allow their illegal immigration into Palestine and forced the boat to be returned to Germany Germany, few know that the French government had agreed to host the refugees. Ben Gurion rejected the solution and the survivors were forced unnecessarily to remain on board for seven months. Kimberling commented, quote, Ben Gurion strategy in the Exodus affair paid off. The fate of the refugee ship attracted considerable and sympathetic attention around the world and served the Zionist cause well. Few observers at the time knew that many of the refugees from the Exodus had applied for immigration visas to the United States and were hardly anxious to settle in Israel. Kimmerling points out, quote by dramatizing the fate of the survivors, in whom he had little interest except as future residents of the state he was building, Ben Gurion helped to make Israel the world's chief power broker over Jewish affairs. Under his leadership, Israel established a claim to represent all of world Jewry and on this basis successfully claimed reparations from the Federal Republic of Germany. Let me look at the footnote on that because I swear they're still paying those reparations today. That's from Baruch Kimmerling's Is Is Israel's Culture of martyrdom the Nation January 10, 2005 it's an article. This is a note here. This was not the only such case that has been somewhat misrepresented in Zionist propaganda. 200 Jewish refugees aboard another such ship, the Patria, died when Jewish forces placed a bomb under the hole to disable the ship. Maybe we'll get into the Patria affair. I don't know if that's going to come up right now. Let me see. Basically let me look up the Patria affair so I have. I can tell you exactly what happened. The Patriot case Patria Disaster so the Patria disaster was the sinking on 25th of November 1940 by the Jewish paramilitary organization Hagana of a French built Ocean liner, the 11,885 ton SS Patria in the port of Haifa. Patria was about to depart with about 1800 Jewish refugees whom the British authorities were deporting to Mauritius. Mortatius, I can't pronounce that Zionist organization opposed the deportation and the underground paramilitary Hagana group planted a bomb intended to disable the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa. The Ghana claims to have miscalculated the effects of the explosion. The bomb blew the steel frame of one full side of the ship and the ship sank in less than 16 minutes, trapping hundreds in the hold, killing 267 and injuring 172. The British allowed the survivors to remain in Palestine on human on humanitarian grounds. Who was responsible and the true reason why Patria sank remained controversial until 1957 when Munya Martyr, the person who planted the bomb, published a book about his experience. Yeah, that's them. New heading. Zionists implement forced Conscription. Grudzinski reports the Zionist leaders determined that they needed to implement forced conscription if they were going to attain sufficient numbers for the war they were planning against Palestinians. So they were planning a war against Palestinians. A war of independence? Yeah. How? What? Since American and European Jews would never have gone along with this, they targeted the weakest population for this compulsory draft. Residents of the displaced persons camps. After a voluntary recruitment drive netted less than 0.3% of the DP population, a compulsory draft was implemented. This bizarre project in which a non nation state imposed compulsory military service on people who had never even lived in the land for which they were required to fight, was enforced through a number of mechanisms including publishing blacklists of draft evaders, firing them from jobs, evicting them from dwellings, withdrawing their food rations and beating them. These tactics were also at times used on their relatives. So you don't serve. We're going to beat your mom. This is a war for independence. In one camp a father of a Gaius draft evader Wecker was beaten up as was the father of one who did not register. In another case, an old father, father Richard Isaac, was beaten because his son Moishe Richter did not register for the Gaius. Men and women who weren't able to evade this draft were sometimes assigned to combat units with minimal training and given little time to get their bearings. They were paid less than volunteers from English speaking Western countries and had fewer privileges. Many could not even understand their Hebrew orders. Some died in battle, others died unknown. As Grudzinski reports, having had neither a home nor a family to come back to. They're just pawns in the Zionist game. Israeli author Tom Segev reports that most of the immigrants from Germany were refugees who came against their Will, they were not Zionists in Israel. They were objects of condescension and contempt. Let's go to that. That, that's from Sev's book, okay? But in American Pravda by Ron Uns, he talks about that. He talks about how Jews who came from the camps who were considered Holocaust survivors were treated like second class citizens in Israel. Even after Israel was formed, they were just looked down upon. The American public, however, was led to believe that European Jews desperately wished to go to Palestine. And the well organized, well funded and frequently ruthless operation behind the emigration was hidden from view. Funding for the emigrant recruitment operation included 25 million from the non governmental organization, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. A British general who had been Eisenhower's deputy and was credited with the buildup for the Normandy invasion, Sir Frederick Morgan noticed what was going on. He publicly pointed out that many of the refugees headed for Palestine were well dressed and well fed, their pockets bulging with money, and concluded that something must be encouraging their emigration. The World Jewish Congress stated officially and duplicitously General Morgan's allegation of a secret Jewish force inside Europe aiming at a mass exodus to Palestine is fantastically untrue. Morgan was forced to apologize even though as a pro Israel author writes, Morgan's analysis of the situation was quite correct. New heading the SEIF Group blocking a counter Balfour Declaration Another secret group working on behalf of Zionism was formed in 1942 by Israel M. Seif, a British clothing magnate who was temporarily living in the U.S. yes, of course he was. The SEIF group was, as historian Peter Gross puts it, a sophisticated version of Brandeis's parishion. The secret organization. While its existence was never openly acknowledged, it grew into the secret backchannel to officials in Washington during the last years of FDR's presidency and the crucial first years of Truman's. Its members included such men as Ben Cohn, a member of the White House staff, Robert Nae Nathan in Intelligence, David Ginsburg, a New Deal bureaucrat, David Lilienthal, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority and David Niles, a high White House official under both Roosevelt and Truman. Gross reports the little nucleus possessed the entree and the clout to carry the message of Jewish Palestine into the highest policy making circles. Through casual suggestion, indirection, chance remarks among well placed colleagues in the corridors of power and the salons of social, social Washington. On July 27, 1943, a U.S. state, U.S. state Department officials and English diplomats concerned that Zionist activities were causing serious harm to the war effort, almost issued a reverse Balfour Declaration. Calling for these activities to cease. The Seif group, Felix Frankfurter, who was Supreme Court Justice Henry Morgenthau, who I think was treasury secretary at the time, David Niles, Bernard Baruch and others took emergency action and blocked the declaration. Chapter 14. Palestinian refugees By 1949, Israel's war of independence and ethnic cleansing had created hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. The US representative in Israel sent an urgent report to Truman. Truman, quote, Arab refugee tragedy is rapidly reaching catastrophic proportions and should be treated as a disaster. Of approximately 400,000 refugees approaching winter with cold heavy rains will, it is estimated, kill more than 100,000 old men, women and children who are shelterless and have little or no food. These are the victims of the Nakba that modern Zionists and Jews will say didn't have happen. It was made up. Those people weren't there, they didn't exist. Or they invaded from other countries. Old men, women and children. Yeah. The number of refugees continued to grow, reaching at least three quarters of a million. And desperate starving Palestinians inundated neighboring Arab countries. US diplomats in Cairo and Amman described a disastrous situation in which the almost non existent resources of these countries were stretched nearly to the breaking point. The State Department reported that during the last nine months in 1948, Arab states had donated 11 million to refugee aid. Stating this sum in light of the very slender budgets of most of these governments is relatively enormous during this time. The report noted the total direct relief offered by the Israeli government to date consists of 500 cases of oranges. At least they weren't going to get scurvy, right? At least 500 of them were wouldn't or however, 500. How many times how many? Let's call it, I don't know, 50 times 500, maybe 50,000. Some of them I guess scurvy at least. Meanwhile, Israel had required had acquired formerly Palestinian owned properties worth at least 480 million in $1947, the equivalent of 5.2 billion in today's dollars. Journalist and academic under Strindberg reports. In the process of Judaizing Palestine, numerous convents, hospices, seminaries and churches were either destroyed or cleared of their Christian owners and custodians. In one of the most spectacular attacks on a Christian target on May 17, 1948, the Armenian Orthodox patron Patriot Patriarchate was shelled with about 100 mortar rounds launched by Zionist forces from the already occupied monastery of the Benedictine Fathers on Mount Zion. The bombardment also damaged St. Jacob's Convent, the Archangel's Convent and their appended churches, their two elementary and seminary schools as well as their libraries, killing eight people and wounding 120. Does this sound familiar? They still doing this today? Truman, who's caving into Zionist pressures that helped create the disaster, now tried to convince Israel to allow the refugees to return to their homes. His main representative working on this was Mark Ethric, former publisher of the Louisville Courier Journal. Etheridge was disgusted at Israel's refusal, reporting to the State Department, what I can see is an abortion of justice and humanity to which I do not want to be midwife. The State Department finally threatened to withhold 49 million of unallocated funds from an Export Importance Import bank loan to Israel if it did not allow at least 200,000 refugees to return. The US Coordinator on Palestine Refugee Matters, George C. McGee, delivered the message to the Israeli ambassador and later described his response. The ambassador looked me straight in the eye and said, in essence, that I wouldn't get by with this move, that he would stop it. Within an hour of my return to my office, I received a message from the White House that the president wished to disassociate himself, himself with any withholding of the Ex IM bank loan. Edwin Wright, a State Department Middle east specialist from 1945 to 1966, was the subject of an oral history interview many years later for the Truman Library. About this interview, he said, the material I gave the interviewer, Professor McKenzie, was of a very controversial nature, one of most taboo in US Circles. In as much as I do, I accused the Zionists of using political pressures and even deceit in order to get the US Involved in a policy of supporting a Zionist, theocratic, ethnically exclusive and ambitious Jewish state. I and my associates in the State Department felt this was contrary to US Interests and we were overruled by President Truman. Why would they be overruled? All right, let's see where we are here. I'm gonna scroll up because I think we're almost done with the. With the whole basis of the book. With the whole main part of the book. Maybe the main part of the book is all the extra stuff. Yeah, we only have two chapters left, so this is. Maybe I'll just finish this. Who the hell knows? All right. All right, chapter 15, Zionist Influence in the media. As historian Richard Stevens notes, Zionists early on learn to exploit the essential nature of the American political system, that policies can be made and unmade through force of public opinion and pressure. Procuring influence in the media, both paid and unpaid, has been a key component of their success. Let's remember what the Jews and the revolutionaries did in Russia. Russia, they own newspapers. Jews own newspapers in Germany. So the quote unquote Pogrom of 1905, I think it was the Kishinev or I think it was the Odessa one. The first day before anything really even kicked off in Germany, a Jewish newspaper was saying that tens of thousands of Jews had already been killed. They said in one, in one, quote unquote pogrom. Oh, they're nail. They were putting nails into my head, through my nose. So Zionist influence in the media. From early on, the Zionist narrative largely dominated news coverage from the region. A study of four leading newspapers paper's 1917 coverage showed that the editorial opinion almost universally favored the Zionist position. Author Kathleen Christison notes that editorials and news stories alike applauded Jewish enterprise, heralded a Jewish return to Palestine as glorious news. Other studies showed the same situation for the 1920s. Christensen writes, the relatively heavy press coverage is an indicator of the extent of Zionist influence even in this early period. Period. One scholar has estimated that as of the mid-1920s, approximately half of all New York Times articles were placed by press agents, suggesting that US Zionist organizations may have placed many of these articles on Zionism's Palestine endeavors. At one point, when the State Department was trying to convince Israel to allow Palestinian refugees to return, Secretary of State George Marshall wrote, quote, the leaders of Israel would make a grave miscalculation if they thought callous treatment of this tragic issue could pass. Unknown noted by world opinion, Marshall underestimated the ability of Zionists to minimize the information on Palestinian refugees reaching Americans. A State department study in March 1949 found the American public was unaware of the Palestine refugee problem since it has not been hammered away at by the press or radio since October 7th. I mean, basically, where do you see the pictures? I mean, you've seen articles in mainstream papers, but where do you see the worst pictures? You see them on social media where they're trying to control where international Jewry is saying we need to buy TikTok so we can stop this. We can't control it. Even though the Telegram channel 77 virgins, which was posting up the worst, worst videos you could possibly think of, found out it was run by the IDF because I don't know why they wanted to brag about what they were doing. It's hard to understand, isn't it? As author Alfred Lilienthal explained in 1953, the capture of the American press by Jewish nationalism was in fact incredibly complete. Magazines as well as newspapers and news stories as well as editorial columns gave primarily the Zionist views of events before, during, and after Partition. When the Saturday Evening Post published an article by Milton Mayer that criticized Jewish nationalism and carried two other articles giving opposing views, Zionist organized what was probably the worst attack on the Post in its long history. Zionist inundated the magazine with vitriolic mail, canceled their subscriptions, and withdrew their advertising. The Post learned its lesson later, refusing to publish an article that would have again exposed it to such an onslaught, even though the editor acknowledged that the rejected piece was a good and eloquent article. This was typical in a campaign in which Zionists exploited sympathy for victimized Jews. And when this did not sufficiently skew reporting about Palestine, these financial pressures lilienthal rights. If voluntary compliance was not understanding enough, there was always the matter of Jewish advertising in circulation, the threat of economic recriminations from Jewish advertisers combined with the fact that the fatal label of anti Semite would be pinned on any editor stepping out of line assuredly fullest assured fullest press cooperation. Author Christensen reports that from the moment Partition was voted by the union, the press played a critical role in building a framework for thinking that would endure for decades. She writes that shortly before May 15, 1948, the scheduled beginning of the Jewish state, a total of 24 US British, and Australian reporters converged on Palestine. Virtually all reporting was from the Jewish perspective, reports Christensen. The journals the Nation and the New Republic both showed what one scholar calls an overt, overt emotional partiality toward the Jews. No item published in either journal was was sympathetic to the Arabs, and no correspondent was state was stationed in Arab areas of Palestine. Although some reporters lived with and sometimes fought alongside Jewish settlers, Bookstores were inundated with books espousing the Zionist point of view to enthusiastic press reviews. Conversely, the few books published that dared to provide a different perspective were given scathing reviews when they were reviewed at all. When Professor Miller Burroughs at the Yale School of Divinity, a distinguished scholar and archaeologist, wrote Palestine is our business, the American Zionist Council distributed a publication labeling his book an anti Semitic opus. In fact, Professor Burrows Life History showed the opposite it he had been one of the organizers and vice president of the National Committee to Combat Anti Semitism and long been active in the interfaith movement in New Haven. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. In his book, Burroughs wrote, a terrible wrong has been done to the native people of Palestine. The blame for what has happened must be distributed among all concerned, including ourselves. Our own interests, both as Americans and as Christians, are in endangered the interests of the Jewish people also have suffered, and we can still do something about it. Burroughs emphasized this is a question of the most immediate and vital concern to many hundreds of thousands of living people. It is an issue on which one concerned with right and wrong must take a position and try to do something or I can hear people screaming. I don't care about these people at all. They're both brown and who cares? And you know, although they own our government, right? So yeah, I'm above this, but I'll complain and just call everybody on, on social media Jew who disagrees with me. People really aren't that smart at all. And you won't take a side, which is just cowardice. I mean I could see if it was just too, if it was the, the friggin something that was happening in Africa with two tribes. But we don't have nothing. These people own us. These people own our government, they own our banks, they own Hollywood, they own entertainment, they own education. No, no, I'll just ignore it. I'll keep complaining about it, but I'm not going to take a side. They're both brown. Burroughs wrote that imposing a Jewish state on Palestine violated the principle of self determination and noted that the right of the majority of the people of a country to choose their own government would hardly be questioned in any other instance. Well, I think they did a really good job of returning that on us, didn't they? Burroughs criticized what he termed pro Zionist writing and pointed out that a quite different view of the situation would emerge if the word resistance were used when describing Palestinian and Arab fighting in 1948. He wrote that the plan for Palestine advocated by the Arabs was a democracy with freedom of religion and complete separation of religion and the state as in this country. Burroughs also discussed religious aspects, stating one thing is certainly and nothing that is essentially unjust or contrary to the spirit of Christ can be the will of God. Let him who speaks of fulfillment of prophecy remember Jeremiah 22:13. Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness. I think he's making a comment there to the dispensationalists. In his conclusion, Burroughs stated all the Arab refugees who want to return to their homes must be allowed and helped to do so. So and must be restored to their own villages, houses and farms or places of business with adequate compensation from the government of Israel for destruction and damage. He also stated homes must be found in this country or elsewhere for Jews desiring to become citizens of other countries in Israel and their religious, civil, social and economic rights must be guaranteed in their onslaught against him. Zionists accused Burroughs of careless writing, disjointed reporting, and extremely biased observations. This is exactly what they say now. Exactly. I posted up a link to my reading of Crying Wolf hate crime hoaxes in the United States and someone's like, oh, so you just believe everything you you read on YouTube? It's like, no, actually it's my reporting. I read the book, I looked at the research, I looked at the footnotes, and then I Reddit. They don't even care. They operate off of a script. You're never going to convince them of anything. All you can do is humiliate them, show them how small they are and tell them no more. No more. Another author who described the misery of Palestinian refugees as well as Jewish suffering in Israel, Willie Snow Etheridge, was similarly attacked by pro Israel reviewers. When she was invited to address the Maryland Teachers association and chose to speak on her book Journey to Jerusalem, she was told she must speak on a different subject. The secretary of the association explained that so much pressure had been brought on him that he would lose his job if she didn't change to another subject. Still another was the eminent dean of Barnard College, Virginia Gildersleeve, a highly distinguished personage with impeccable credentials as a humanitarian. When she wrote that Palestinian refugees should be allowed to return to their homes, a campaign was launched against her, labeling her a Christian anti Semite. Gildersleeve, who had been instrumental in drafting the preamble of the UN Charter and had taken a leading role in creating the UN Human Rights Commission, later devoted herself to working for human rights in the Middle East. She testified before congressional committees and lobbied President Truman to no avail. In her memoir, she attributed such failures to the Zionist control of the media of communication. All right, let's finish this up. Finish the book now. Chapter 16. Dorothy Thompson, played by Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, America's most famous female journalist at the time, also attempted valiantly but unsuccessfully to tell Americans about Palestinian refugees. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Dorothy Thompson was one of the most famous journalists of the 20th century. Thompson's columns was in column was in newspapers all over the country, and her radio program listened to by tens of millions of Americans Americans. She had been married to one of America's most famous novelists, graced the COVID of Time magazine, been profiled by America's top magazines, and was so well known that Woman, that Woman of the Year, a Hollywood so well known that Woman of the Year, a Hollywood movie feature featuring Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and a Broadway play starring Lauren Bacall were based on her. She had been the first journalist to be expelled by Adolf Hitler and had raised the alarm against Nazis long ahead of most other journalists. She had originally supported Zionism, but then after the war had visited the region in person. She had been there. She began to speak about Palestinian refugees, narrated a documentary about their plight and condemned Jewish terrorism. She sounds like a horrible anti Semite, doesn't she? Thompson was viciously attacked in an orchestrated campaign of what she termed career assassination and character assassination. She wrote. It has been boundless going into my personal life, she wrote of this organized attack. When letter after letter is couched in almost identical phraseology. I do not think that the authors have been gifted did with telepathy. She was dropped by the New York Post, whose editor Ted Thackeray and his wife Dorothy Schiff were said to by other Post editors to be very close to the Irgun and Manakum. Begin. Begin the Ergunist, the Stern Gang and other Zionist organizations. Terrorist organizations had, according to one comment enter inordinate access to the Post's editorial board. Dorothy Schiff, granddaughter of financier Jacob Schiff and owner of the Post, later divorced Thackeray and married Rudolph Sonneborn. Do you remember the Sonneborn? Do you remember that name? Thompson's mail was filled with ferocious accusations as she was anti Semitic for publicizing Zionist cruelty. One such correspondent told her that her filthy indictments to that her filthy incitements to pogroms would not be tolerated by New York Jews. Before long, her column and radio programs, her speaking engagements and her fame were all gone. Today she has largely been erased from history. In the coming decades, other Americans were similarly written out of history, forced out of office, their lives and careers destroyed. History was distorted, rewritten, erased. Bigotry promoted, supremacy disguised facts replaced by fraud. Very few people know this history. The excellent books it documents it are largely out of print, their facts and very existence virtually unknown to the vast majority of Americans, even those who focus on the Middle east instead. False theories have been promulgated, mendacious analysis is promoted, chosen authors celebrated, others assigned to a blitz oblivion. George Orwell once wrote, who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. Perhaps by rediscovering the past, we'll gain control of the present and save the future. What does that last sentence mean? She's basically saying that if we don't stop this, we have an official future. What are we witnessing now? Israel bombs Iran. Why? Iran might have a nuclear weapon. They might be. And we can't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Israel has nuclear weapons. They've never signed a non proliferation treaty, but apparently that's fine. It's perfectly fine with people. Most Americans are like, hey, who cares? You know, I mean, it's Israel. Israel. They can do. They can do no wrong. So they bomb Tehran, kill people, and Iran's like, okay, well, retaliation. They're crying pogrom. They're crying war crimes. My comments at one of them was, I'm looking at pictures of Gaza, so let me know when Tel Aviv looks like Gaza. Does anyone really think that Israel won't use a nuke after what they've done? I know this can be blackpilling as hell, but so many people have gone through history without knowing exactly who the enemy is. If you read this book with me, if you're reading 200 years together with me, if you're paying attention at all, at least you know who the enemy is. Footnotes here are absolutely insane. Let me go up to the top real quick and just show the further reading. She's got books upon books here and she has endnotes. These endnotes are 70 plus page words. Is. I mean, I don't. I don't know what to say anymore. It seems like people just. It's not. At this point, I don't. I don't think there's anything that you can do. If you're watching this, if you're listening to this, how about you just. Just agree that you know who the problem is. It's hard for me to believe anybody could listen to this and not be like, yeah, I know who the problem is. That's it. I'll think about another book to go through, read some articles or something and try to keep stuff coming at you. All right? So that's it. Allison Weirs, against our better judgment. As Paladin YYZ said, what a great name for a book. Take care. See you in a couple days. Bye.
