Beware of the Second Holocaust to Come -Never Again?

The Freeman Center regrets the Jewish fetish with the Holocaust of WWII, when a second Holocaust is being planned against them today. Of course it is important to remember the past. The most IMPORTANT thing about remembering the past, is NOT TO REPEAT IT!!!!

THOSE WHO FAIL TO LEARN FROM HISTORY

ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT

[Originally written and published in 1992 as a founding statement of the Freeman Center.]

In 1934, Harry W. Freeman, my grandfather, was already lecturing about the dangers of Hitler and Nazism. Nobody listened. The Holocaust was not prevented. Today, in 2010 there are 1.5 billion Arab Persian & Moslem people who plan a second Holocaust against the Jews of Israel and the world. The governments and people of Europe not only acquiesce but actively aid in this genocidal plan through diplomatic and material support.

The American State Department encourages the Arabs by actively striving to weaken Israel’s strategic and military superiority. Their first stage is to use the so called "peace process" to weaken Israel and strip it of its strategic territories. They are being aided by the same hypocrites and accomplices in the West who failed to aid the Jews of Europe in their darkest hour. Unfortunately, even left-wing Israelis have fallen victims to the seductive lure of peace and have begun a policy of appeasement similar to that tried with Hitler. The results will be no different.

The Arab propaganda full of slanders and libels; the media bias against Israel replete with double standards and the rewriting of history are all working to the same end: the delegitimation of Israel. Israel is the only country considered by many to be GUILTY OF ORIGINAL SIN by virtue of its very existence. This process of delegitimation has as its goal creating a world climate in which the DESTRUCTION of Israel is acceptable. Many in the Jewish community are either apathetic or fail to recognize this threat.

I founded the FREEMAN CENTER FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES in order to create a powerful voice to arouse the Jewish community to the action necessary to frustrate the evil designs of the enemies of Israel and the Jewish People. I need your help to accomplish this mission.

Never Again?

Giulio Meotti's book about Palestinian terrorism tells a truth many
Westerners don't want to hear.
By LEON DE WINTER

"A New Shoa: The Untold Story of Israel's Victims of Terrorism," is a
hard read. Not because it is badly written; it is clear, precise, and
eloquent. It is a hard read because it is deeply moving—many times, I
had to stop reading and catch my breath, wipe away the tears. Giulio
Meotti, an Italian author and journalist, has written a monumental
study of pain and grief, of mourning and remembrance, of hatred and
love.

The book's title is well-chosen. From the very first pages, Mr. Meotti
makes clear that he considers Palestinian terrorism and Arab hatred of
Israel and the Jews the continuation of Nazi anti-Semitism. He shows
that Palestinian and Arab rhetoric is focused on Jews—not just
Israelis. The dream of the Islamists is to destroy the Jewish people,
not just the sliver of land called Israel.

This is not a matter of opinion but of facts, which Mr. Meotti's
well-researched book provides in abundance. Take just this recent
example from a public speech by Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, aired
on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV on November 5, 2010:

"Allah willing, their [the Jews'] expulsion from Palestine in its
entirety is certain to come. We are no weaker or less honorable than
the peoples that expelled and annihilated the Jews. The day we expel
them is drawing near. . . .

"There is no place for you [Jews] among us, and you have no future
among the nations of the world. You are headed to annihilation."
These words move far beyond a conflict about territory—the underlying
emotion is genocidal rage. Mr. Meotti's list of murderous
anti-Semitism by Palestinian leaders and media is exhausting. But it
is a list the Western media ignore as it would destroy the prevailing
narrative that the Mideast conflict is about land and Palestinian
suffering. It isn't. It is about that old sickness, Jew-hatred.

Mr. Meotti's other great achievement is to record the stories of the
Jews who died as a result of this hatred and preserve their memories.
He recalls victims who were trying to lead an ordinary life in a
unique country. They were on their way to work, to the market, to see
friends when the murderers crossed their paths, themselves dying in
the fires they unleashed.

A New Shoah
By Giulio Meotti
Encounter, 428 pages, $27.95

The roll of victims is long. "This is the Ground Zero of Israel, the
first country ever to experience suicide terrorism on a mass scale,"
Mr. Meotti writes, "more than 150 suicide attacks carried out, plus
more than 500 prevented. It's a black hole that in 15 years swallowed
up 1,557 people and left 17,000 injured."
It must have been almost unbearable to write this book. Mr. Meotti
gave the Jewish victims names and faces and, amid all that horror,
packed his book also with descriptions of hundreds of acts of human
kindness and dignity.
"There is a long, heartbreaking list of teenage Jewish girls whose
lives were cut off in a moment by a suicide bomber," Mr. Meotti
writes. "Rachel Teller's mother decided to donate her daughter's heart
and kidneys: 'That is my answer to the hyena who took my daughter's
life. With her death, she will give life to two other people.' Rachel
wore her hair very short and had a wistful smile. Her friends
remembered the last time they saw her. 'We said bye-bye, a little bit
bored, like it was nothing. Instead, it was the last time we said
goodbye to Rachel.'"
The book is filled with these moments of intense pain, but this
400-page study of Jewish love of life is indispensable for anybody who
wants to understand Israel's position in the world and the tragic
position of the Jews in history.
There is the story of Massoud Mahlouf Allon, who was an observant
Jewish immigrant from Morocco. "He was mutilated, bludgeoned and
beaten to death while giving poor Palestinians the blankets he had
collected from Israelis," Mr. Meotti recounts.
Or the disabled Arnad, who was blown up in the seat of his motorized
wheelchair in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market.
Or Nissan Cohen, who was a teenager when he fled from Afghanistan.
"During the day he helped handicapped children, and at night he
studied the Gemarra, the commentary on the Law. A bomb killed him at
the entrance to the Mahane Yehuda market."
This book doesn't dumb down evil. It doesn't try to understand
terrorists as victims of their socio-economic circumstances, doesn't
miscategorize them as poor or uneducated (they are often middle class)
or driven allegedly to despair by the very same people they murdered.
No, in "A New Shoah," the terrorists remain what they are, the
executors of a hate-filled religious ideology. This is a truth too
many Westerners still don't want to hear.
My own Dutch publishing house, the distinguished De Bezige Bij, born
out of the Dutch resistance against the Nazis, refused to publish this
amazing book. It had no qualms, however, about publishing a book of
anti-Zionist rants by Dries van Agt, the former Dutch prime minister
and Hamas apologist.
In a Continent stuck in denial about both Palestinian anti-Semitism
and Europe's own resurgent Jew-hatred, hidden behind the label of
anti-Zionism, Mr. Meotti's hard read is a breath of fresh air.
Mr. de Winter is a Dutch novelist. His latest book is "The Right of
Return" (De Bezige Bij ,2008).


2. The war against the Jews
By RUPERT MURDOCH

When people see a Jewish prime minister treated badly by an
American president, they see a more isolated Jewish state.
We live in a world where there is an ongoing war against the Jews. For
the first decades after Israel’s founding, this war was conventional
in nature. The goal was straightforward: to use military force to
overrun Israel. Well before the Berlin Wall came down, that approach
had clearly failed.

Then came phase two: terrorism. Terrorists targeted Israelis both home
and abroad – from the massacre of Israeli athletes at Munich to the
second intifada.

The terrorists continue to target Jews across the world. But they have
not succeeded in bringing down the Israeli government – and they have
not weakened Israeli resolve.

Now the war has entered a new phase. This is the soft war that seeks
to isolate Israel by delegitimizing it.

The battleground is everywhere: the media, multinational
organizations, NGOs. In this war, the aim is to make Israel a pariah.

The result is the curious situation we have today: Israel becomes
increasingly ostracized, while Iran – a nation that has made no secret
of wishing Israel’s destruction – pursues nuclear weapons loudly,
proudly, and without apparent fear of rebuke.

For me, this ongoing war is a fairly obvious fact of life. Every day,
the citizens of the Jewish homeland defend themselves against armies
of terrorists whose maps spell out the goal they have in mind: a
Middle East without Israel. In Europe, Jewish populations increasingly
find themselves targeted by people who share that goal. And in the
United States, I fear that our foreign policy sometimes emboldens
these extremists.

THERE ARE two things that worry me most. First is the disturbing new
home that anti-Semitism has found in polite society – especially in
Europe. Second is how violence and extremism are encouraged when the
world sees Israel’s greatest ally distancing itself from the Jewish
state.

When Americans think of anti-Semitism, we tend to think of the vulgar
caricatures and attacks of the first part of the 20th century.

Today it seems that the most virulent strains come from the Left.
Often this new anti-Semitism dresses itself up as legitimate
disagreement with Israel.

Back in 2002 the president of Harvard, Larry Summers, put it this way:
“Where anti-Semitism and views that are profoundly anti-Israeli have
traditionally been the primary preserve of poorly educated rightwing
populists, profoundly anti-Israel views are increasingly finding
support in progressive intellectual communities. Serious and
thoughtful people are advocating and taking actions that are
anti-Semitic in their effect if not their intent.”

Mr. Summers was speaking mostly about our university campuses. Like
me, however, he was also struck by alarming developments in Europe.

Far from being dismissed out of hand, anti-Semitism today enjoys
support at both the highest and lowest reaches of European society –
from its most elite politicians to its largely Muslim ghettoes.
European Jews find themselves caught in this pincer.

We saw a recent outbreak when a European Commissioner trade minister
declared that peace in the Middle East is impossible because of the
Jewish lobby in America. Here’s how he put it: “There is indeed a
belief – it’s difficult to describe it otherwise –
among most Jews that they are right. And it’s not so much whether
these are religious Jews or not. Lay Jews also share the same belief
that they are right. So it is not easy to have, even with moderate
Jews, a rational discussion about what is actually happening in the
Middle East.”

This minister did not suggest the problem was any specific Israeli
policy. The problem, as he defined it, is the nature of the Jews.
Adding to the absurdity, this man then responded to his critics this
way: Anti-Semitism, he asserted, “has no place in today’s world and is
fundamentally against our European values.”

Of course, he has kept his job.

Unfortunately, we see examples like this one all across Europe.
Sweden, for example, has long been a synonym for liberal tolerance.
Yet in one of Sweden’s largest cities, Malmo, Jews report increasing
examples of harassment. When an Israeli tennis team visited for a
competition, it was greeted with riots. So how did the mayor respond?
By equating Zionism with anti- Semitism – and suggesting that Swedish
Jews would be safer in his town if they distanced themselves from
Israeli actions in Gaza.

You don’t have to look far for other danger signs: The Norwegian
government forbids a Norwegianbased, German shipbuilder from using its
waters to test a submarine being built for the Israeli navy.

Britain and Spain are boycotting an OECD tourism meeting in Jerusalem.

In the Netherlands, police report a 50 percent increase in the number
of anti-Semitic incidents.

MAYBE WE shouldn’t be surprised by these things.

According to one infamous European poll a few years back, Europeans
listed Israel ahead of Iran and North Korea as the greatest threat to
world peace.

In Europe today, some of the most egregious attacks on Jewish people,
Jewish symbols, and Jewish houses of worship have come from the Muslim
population.

Unfortunately, far from making clear that such behavior will not be
tolerated, too often the official response is what we’ve seen from the
Swedish mayor – who suggested Jews and Israel were partly to blame
themselves.

When Europe’s political leaders do not stand up to the thugs, they
lend credence to the idea that Israel is the source of all the
world’s problems – and they guarantee more ugliness. If that is not
anti-Semitism, I don’t know what is.

That brings me to my second point: the importance of good relations
between Israel and the United States.

Some believe that if America wants to gain credibility in the Muslim
world and advance the cause of peace, Washington needs to put some
distance between itself and Israel. My view is the opposite. Far from
making peace more possible, we are making hostilities more certain.
Far from making things better for the Palestinian people, sour
relations between the United States and Israel guarantees that
ordinary Palestinians will continue to suffer.

The peace we all want will come when Israel feels secure – not when
Washington feels distant.

Right now we have war. There are many people waging this war. Some
blow up cafes. Some fire rockets into civilian areas. Some are
pursuing nuclear arms. Some are fighting the soft war, through
international boycotts and resolutions condemning Israel. All these
people are watching the US-Israeli relationship closely.

In this regard, I was pleased to hear the State Department’s spokesman
clarify America’s position last week. He said that the United States
recognizes “the special nature of the Israeli state. It is a state for
the Jewish people.”

This is an important message to send to the Middle East. And when
people see a Jewish prime minister treated badly by an American
president, they see a more isolated Jewish state. That only encourages
those who favor the gun over those who favor negotiation.

Back in 1937, a man named Vladimir Jabotinsky urged Britain to open up
an escape route for Jews fleeing Europe. Only a Jewish homeland, he
said, could protect European Jews from the coming calamity.

In prophetic words, he described the problem this way: “It is not the
anti-Semitism of men,” he said. “It is, above all, the anti-Semitism
of things, the inherent xenophobia of the body social or the body
economic under which we suffer.”

The world of 2010 is not the world of the 1930s. The threats Jews face
today are different. But these threats are real. These threats are
soaked in an ugly language familiar to anyone old enough to remember
World War II. And these threats cannot be addressed until we see them
for what they are: part of an ongoing war against the Jews.

an Anti-Defamation League dinner.

Pro-Israel activists disrupt Jewish Voice for Peace meeting
Thursday, November 18, 2010 | by dan pine
Pro-Israel activists disrupted a meeting of the left-leaning
organization Jewish Voice for Peace on Nov. 14, heckling speakers and
preventing the meeting from proceeding as planned. One pro-Israel
activist admitted to using pepper spray during the commotion.
Berkeley police and paramedics were called to the scene, but no
arrests were made.
The two sides offered differing versions of events, which took place
at the South Berkeley Senior Center. JVP members claimed the pepper
spraying was unprovoked, while attorney and pro-Israel activist Robin
Dubner of Oakland says she sprayed because she was “physically
attacked.”
The evening meeting, attended by more than 50 people, featured as
guest speakers Bay Area residents Rae Abileah, Matthew Taylor and two
more of the five JVP protesters who heckled Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu at last week’s General Assembly of the Jewish
Federations of North America in New Orleans.

The Plague of the Un-Jews
By Victor Sharpe
Some years ago, posing as a supporter of the PLO, I infiltrated an
Arab anti-Israel meeting held in a room above a London pub. There were
mostly Arabs present with a sprinkling of non-Arabs, mostly local
Brits.

Among the Brits was a man who told the audience that he was also a Jew
and hated Israel. His self-loathing was limited to his Jewish
ancestry, for he displayed no lack of modesty as he stood up and
spewed hate against his own people and hostility towards the
increasingly embattled Jewish state.

But in all the bile that fell from his lips, he revealed a total lack
of knowledge about Judaism and Jewish history -- certainly he
exhibited no understanding of the rebirth of Israel in its ancestral
and biblical homeland or of the immense odds of its survival in the
face of enormous Arab and Muslim aggression. His trope was merely to
echo the fashionable Arab and pro-Arab propaganda of "the poor Arabs
and the nasty Israelis."

All he seemed to want to do was ingratiate himself with those Arabs in
the misguided belief that they would award him with what he personally
lacked in his own sad life: fame and name recognition. If he could
achieve that by denigrating and abusing the people from whom he
sprung, then so be it. For him, the means justified the ends. What he
did not realize was that the Arabs looked upon him with no respect;
rather, they treated him with contempt, using him as a useful idiot.

I thought of him when I considered the U.K. pro-Palestinian group of
Jews -- overwhelmingly leftists -- who attempted to sail to Gaza from
the Turkish-occupied north of Cyprus in order to bring aid and comfort
to the Hamas occupiers of the Gaza Strip.

Among the left-wing British Jews was one Yonatan Shapira, who defaced
a wall near the Warsaw Ghetto monument with a slogan describing the
Arabs in Gaza as suffering like the Polish Jews in the ghetto.
However, unlike the Arabs in Gaza, the Jews were slaughtered, and the
few survivors gassed, during the Holocaust.

Before boarding the yacht, the Israeli Navy transmitted two warnings
to the boat, which refused to turn back and sailed farther into the
blockade area. According to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli Foreign
Ministry spokesman Andy David called the left-wing Jews' claim to be
bringing aid to Gaza "ridiculous" and labeled the voyage "a
politically motivated provocation."

Emanuele Ottolenghi, in a commentary, said, "There is a certain irony
in the fact that a boat full of "Jews for Justice for Palestinians"
set sail for Gaza from Northern Cyprus.

Northern Cyprus is an illegally occupied territory that belongs to
EU-member Cyprus, seized by force in 1974 by the Turkish army. Its
legal status as a fictionally independent state is only recognized by
Turkey. The Turkish military forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of
ethnic Greeks from that territory and settled its own population to
permanently alter the ethnic balance of the area.

And this arrival of "The Ship of Fools" occurred even as Hamas thugs
shot yet another nine-month pregnant Jewish woman in Judea and
continue firing lethal missiles from Gaza into Israeli villages and
towns. Thankfully, unlike the poor pregnant woman and four other
Jewish civilians who were slaughtered two weeks earlier in Judea by
Hamas gunmen, she survived and gave birth to a healthy baby after a
c-section.

I also thought of the man in the room above the London pub when I
recently read that an Israeli self-hater, Professor Illan Pappe, was
visiting India in order to demonize Israel and encourage a boycott by
Indians of the Jewish state.

Professor Pappe, well-known as an extreme leftist and one of a handful
of Israeli professors who support an academic boycott of Israel,
criticized the Arab world for "not doing anything" against Israel. In
view of the decade's long history of barbaric terrorism perpetrated by
Arabs against Israeli civilians, this was an oxymoronic statement if
ever there was one.

Another speaker at the event in India was Richard Falk, formerly the
United Nations Human Rights Council envoy to Gaza and to Judea and
Samaria (or what most of the world calls by its Jordanian Arab name,
the West Bank).

During his term with the grotesquely misnamed U.N. Human Rights
Council, Falk was the envoy for this despicable organization, one made
up of the most egregious rogue states on earth and worst human rights
abusers. This committee spends all its time ignoring the horrors
perpetrated by its own members and concentrates solely and obsessively
on heaping slanders and falsehoods upon Israel.

Falk, yet another Jewish self-hater, had no conscience in condemning
Israel for such actions as dismantling illegally built Arab structures
in Jerusalem and deporting four senior Hamas terrorists from the city.
Indeed, Israeli officials criticized Falk as "redundant at best and
malicious at worst" and accused him of lacking any objectivity.

Predictably, this same Falk had no condemnation for the Muslim
terrorist attack in Mumbai in 2008, during which the terrorists
deliberately attacked Chabad House and cruelly murdered eight Jews,
including a rabbi and his young wife.

I mention this only because it reveals the depths of the pathological
sickness the Jewish self-haters are consumed by. But we have to
understand that this is not something new that has existed only since
Israel was reconstituted in 1948 in its ancient homeland.

For centuries, since the destruction of Jewish Judea in 70 AD and the
second uprising against the Roman Empire, which lasted from 132 to
135AD, the Jews were stateless, seeking refuge wherever they could
find it within Christendom and the Islamic world.

The relentless persecution of the stateless Jews during the following
nineteen hundred years or so led to some individuals wishing to shake
off the crushing burden. Unlike the vast majority of Jews who endured
endless torment, often through martyrdom, a few sought to evade it by
converting or, in many instances, aiding and abetting the very
persecutors of their fellow Jews.

Like the man in the room above the London pub, they sought to
ingratiate themselves, but, again like him, they were considered
"useful idiots."

In this last year of the first decade of the 21st century, it seems
that there is an endless procession of such secular, left-wing men
and women who spring from the Jewish people but who know very little
if anything about their faith and history. I call them the un-Jews.

These people are from mostly the higher strata of society: academics,
writers, musicians, the intelligentsia, etc. But the glue that binds
them is their total ignorance and arrogance. They are drawn
overwhelmingly from the Left -- a spurious and problematic home from
which venomous attacks upon Israel routinely emanate.

Again these un-Jews feel compelled to find acceptance in this Theater
of the Absurd that is known as the Left. The un-Jews thus, yet again
and again, seek to ingratiate themselves with their non-Jewish cronies
by railing against only the Jewish state -- ignoring all the horrors
of the Sudan, of Iran, and of the despotic Arab and Muslim world. They
care not for the disinherited Tibetan people who live under Chinese
occupation. They care not for the Serbian people who see their own
ancestral heartland of Kosovo snatched from them by Muslims.

Only the struggle by Israel, the one and only beleaguered Jewish
state, attempting against great odds to survive and seek its own
self-determination in a hostile world, inspires within the un-Jew such
demented loathing.

It is the vile behavior of the un-Jews towards Israel that allows the
non-Jewish anti-Semites to be open about their own deep-seated
pathology and bigotry. After all, they can say with equanimity, Jews
themselves are criticizing Israel, so that gives us a free pass to
libel the Jewish state and support the Muslims and Arabs in their
genocide against the Jews. You can find a list of these miscreants,
these un-Jews, in an article by David Solway in Front Page.

Writer Ruth Wisse describes how the liberals and leftists are
undermining the Jewish people's own liberation and self-determination
movement, Zionism -- the return to Zion and Jerusalem, words which are
synonymous with each other. Her extraordinary book, a must-read, is
titled The Liberal Betrayal of the Jews.

Michael Savage, the conservative talk show host, aptly describes
liberalism as a "mental disorder." The un-Jews who endlessly spew
their venom against their own people are at the forefront of creating
organizations that are patently one-sided shills for the Arab and
Muslim terror and genocide machine.

Such organizations are readily transparent by their names, which
always include words such as "justice" and "peace." These
once-precious words have been bastardized by the leftist and peacenik
organizations -- home to so many of the un-Jews. Now those two words,
epitomizing the higher ideals of humanity, have become bitter ashes in
the mouth.

What is most egregiously and lamentably insulting is how the un-Jews
claim to espouse authentic Jewish ethics and morality. They do not.
They exhibit a devastating ignorance and profound shallowness of what
Judaism teaches. Their breathtaking ignorance misrepresents the
divinely inspired Jewish ideals and love of life, which is in such
stark contrast to the Muslim worship of death.

Yet the un-Jews would willingly see Israel destroyed. They would then
march into the unparalleled darkness of Sharia law and dhimmitude.
They are a plague unto themselves.
