    Shlimazls and Priestesses
    By Israel Shamir

    Men do fight and die for fair women: Sir Lancelot over Queen Guinevere,
    Tristan over Isolde came to grief but satisfied their passion. Others
    died in the attempt, they were sung about or bewailed. But a guy who
    dies for pussy he is not going to get anyway - deserves derision.
    Heinrich Heine, that ironic genius, used to call such a fall guy
    “Schlemihl;” or Shlomiel in modern Hebrew, Schlimazl in Yiddish. The
    original Shlomiel was killed by mistake in a fight for a pretty Moabite
    girl (Num. 25:6), and since then his name has become the synecdoche for
    a sucker who never had a chance. There is no honour in such a death: if
    an Israeli man is afraid of anything, it is of being played for a
    sucker.

    The handsome American soldier, Pat Tillman, who was killed in
    Afghanistan and lamented by his brother (picture left), died like a
    sucker for an Afghani woman who never asked his help. He was not alone:
    many Americans, Brits and thousands of Afghanis were killed in order to
    free The Afghan Woman from her hijab, or chador, or burka, or bra.
    Forget 9/11: without the sustained campaign to “liberate Afghani woman”,
    thousands of Afghani women wouldn’t be widows today. It is easy to blame
    the Afghani war on oil companies, on Pat Robertson and his Evangelists,
    on Richard Pearle and his Zionists. But let us give some well deserved
    credit to liberal feminists and PC-enforcers. The right-wing-Republic
    ans may push for war as much as they want -- the troops will only march
    when the left-wing-Democrats acquiesce. While the former take their
    orders from bankers and businessmen, the latter are ruled by liberal
    feminists.

    The first American bombs hit Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, but ten
    days earlier, on September 28, 2001, the nice columnist Polly Toynbee of
    the nice British newspaper the Guardian, wrote:

      “Something horrible flits across the background in scenes from
      Afghanistan , scuttling out of sight. There it is, a brief blue or black
      flash, a grotesque Scream 1, 2 and 3 personified - a woman. The
      top-to-toe burka, with its sinister, airless little grille, is more than
      an instrument of persecution, it is a public tarring and feathering of
      female sexuality. It transforms any woman into an object of defilement
      too untouchably disgusting to be seen. It is a garment of lurid sexual
      suggestiveness: what rampant desire and desirability lurks and leers
      beneath its dark mysteries? In its objectifying of women, it turns them
      into cowering creatures demanding and expecting violence and
      victimisation. Forget cultural sensibilities.”

    Exactly. Forget cultural sensibilities – just bomb ’em. Whenever you see
    an Afghani prisoner in the Guantanamo cage, whenever you see an Afghani
    widow or orphan, picture a sign reading “Courtesy of Defenders of Muslim
    Women’s Sexual Freedom: Polly Toynbee, Hilary Clinton, et al.”. It was
    not their first victory; our friend Ken Freeland wrote that “During the
    NATO war against Yugoslavia, the feminists were concerned much more
    about whether women were to be allowed in combat roles, then about the
    injustice of the war.” I doubt the invasion of Afghanistan and its Iraqi
    follow-up would have happened if these liberal feminists who hold the
    high moral ground in the US , and their henpecked American and British
    men, had not unleashed the dogs of war. (I also believe that the honest
    ones among them came to regret their unawareness of being manipulated. )

    Why would I remind you now of this great feminist exploit? Because now
    the priestesses are off again after new victims. They are about to turn
    you into suckers and Iranian and Israeli women into widows by making use
    of the sordid affair of the Israeli president Moshe Katzav. The full
    might of their propaganda machine works around the clock berating the
    Russian President Putin for allegedly envying Katzav who “raped 10
    women”. Putin’s real crime was his staunch refusal to support the
    Israeli-American plan of sanctions and nuclear strikes on Iran ; Israeli
    PM Ehud Olmert went to Moscow to plead and came back without a single
    encouraging word.

    The Russian president is under heavy pressure from the West. They want
    him to give American and British companies the oil wells of Sakhalin, to
    vote for sanctions in the Security Council, to blockade Iran and North
    Korea . If he sticks to his guns and refuses, his name will be
    besmirched. Recall the previous warning Putin received on his birthday:
    Anna Politkovskaya, an anti-Putin and pro-Western journalist, was
    assassinated in Moscow . Her influence in Russia was as strong as mine
    in Israel -- that is, next to zero. Still, Putin was framed and smeared
    as the killer.

    John Laughland found that “all [mainstream] papers implied that Mrs.
    Politkovskaya had been killed by allies of the Russian President for
    reporting the truth about the war in Chechnya. ”. The Financial Times
    wrote: “In a broad sense, Mr. Putin bears responsibility for creating,
    through the Kremlin's long-standing assault on the independent media, an
    atmosphere in which such killings can happen.” While The Washington Post
    asserted that “it is quite possible, without performing any detective
    work, to say what is ultimately responsible for these deaths: It is the
    climate of brutality that has flourished under Mr. Putin.”. Laughland
    correctly states that the leftist Guardian joined forces with the
    rightist Daily Telegraph to attack Putin over this assassination and he
    concludes: “Politkovskaya' s murder spells unambiguous benefits for the
    West.”

    This warning did not come as a bolt from the blue. Earlier, Putin had
    been pushed by the provocative behaviour of Georgia ’s president
    Saakashvili to deport a few hundred illegal Georgian immigrants – a few
    hundred out of the half a million of Georgians residing in central
    Russia . This was a far cry from the mass deportations of Mexicans or
    Haitians by the US , but pro-Western media in Russia portrayed it as
    “racist cleansing”.

    2 "I am a Georgian" kippa

    A prominent Muscovite, an Israeli/Russian citizen and a devout Zionist,
    Anton Nosik (his company Sup.ru recently purchased the internet resource
    LiveJournal, Russia’s largest at 600,000 users) even appeared in a kippa
    embroidered with words “I am a Georgian” (he is not) and described the
    deportation as Putin’s “Kristallnacht”. Provocative art dealer Marat
    Guelman (whose gallery displayed desecrated icons and a “photo collage”
    of Putin and Bin Laden) claimed he was beaten because he exhibited
    Georgian art. His cause was soon taken up by the New York Times. In the
    November 4th, a rally of nationalist forces is planned in Russia . There
    are persistent reports that Western and Zionist agents are paying
    troublemakers to create havoc.

    This is the background to the new attacks on Putin, now by the liberal
    feminists. According to their version, Putin said: “What a mighty man
    [Katzav] turns out to be! He raped 10 women - I would never have
    expected this from him. He surprised us all - we all envy him!” This was
    supposedly overheard by a Kommersant newspaper reporter. (That paper is
    owned by the violently anti-Putin oligarch Berezovsky.) Anna Shulik, a
    correspondent of Israeli Channel 9, actually recorded and broadcasted a
    somewhat different version of Putin's statement: “Regards to your
    president. He surprised us all. We all envy him.” The key word rape,
    which turns bonhomie into vulgarity, is just absent on the tape.

    And this is not by chance. There is no doubt, neither in Mr Putin’s, nor
    in my mind, that Israeli President Moshe Katzav, whatever the police are
    saying about him, raped nobody in the plain meaning of the word. Indeed,
    Katzav received the support of a strict Supreme Court judge and of
    leading Rabbis, and (outside of the Israeli-Arab context) these men are
    trustworthy. The Israeli president probably had one affair too many with
    a willing Monica. While the American affair almost caused the
    impeachment of Clinton , her Israeli sister went for the jugular, after
    her demand of blackmail (“$200,000 is peanuts for you, sweetie…”) was
    rejected by the thrifty Katzav.

    Israeli law, like American law, allows a woman to sue a man for rape
    even years later. This is a far cry from the Biblical definition: a
    woman is raped if she screamed her head off, and immediately rushed to
    report the assault. If she went home and decided to complain in a few
    days, or weeks, it is not rape. No scream, no immediate report, - no
    rape, no indecent proposals, no sexual harassment, no nothing.

    The Bible is right: without this condition, every man without exception
    is hostage to a rape accusation. Post-coital non-consent is not a joke,
    as another Sephardi who came close to pinnacle of power, General Itzik
    Mordechai, has learned. First, he was accused of rape; after he debunked
    his accuser, the police found another woman supposedly raped by the
    General five years previously, and his bid for PM post was derailed.

    “She fought him off vigorously, scratched, cried that she will die
    before she submits, but the chevalier paid no attention to her words and
    took her. Afterwards, she smiled coyly and told him: “Do not think, dear
    chevalier, that you won me against my will. Better thank our good
    preacher who reminded me that we are mortal, and a pleasure missed today
    is missed forever. Now we can proceed, for I missed too many pleasures
    while being too prudent for my own good”. This politically- incorrect
    fable by Anatole France (Nobel prize, 1921) should be re-read by liberal
    feminists: do not take from women their right to resist (and acquiesce)
    as their modesty demands.

    I am not amazed that the attack on “Putin the rapist-admirer” was taken
    up by the mainstream media. But even the extremely alternative
    PrisonPlanet. com, as anti-zionist and anti-war as they come, joined in
    on the free-for-all. They do not understand yet what has been understood
    by antiwar.com and others: if you want to avoid the war, Russia and
    China are our best bet. They are neither populated nor led by angels,
    but they can stop Israel and the US from nuking Iran .

    Go easy on them, otherwise multitudes of Iranians and Israelis will die
    like suckers – partly because a little female secretary codenamed “A”
    changed her mind, partly because two men spoke their minds, partly
    because of the feminist domination in media, and after all, mostly
    because of the Masters of Discourse and their marvellous ability to
    achieve what they want by playing on our fears and wishes.

    However, the implications of Katzav affair are extending much further
    than the career of an Israeli politician. I do not give a fig who keeps
    the glorious but impotent post of President. It is important to heal the
    rift between men and women; because our physical union is a wonderful
    thing and it parallels the Annunciation, for it creates spirit and
    flesh. Kabbala teachers insisted on union with one’s wife on Sabbath
    Eve, as by this sympathetic magic the male and female aspects of God can
    be induced to couple. The Sitra Ahra, the Evil One, tries to interfere
    with the celestial mating by interfering with the spiritual aspect of
    the man-woman relation, and the easiest way is by sowing discord between
    man and woman. So many of the measures promoted by liberal feminists
    bring forth this discord.

    After some well-publicised court cases of “rape” and “sexual harassment”
    so many men – and especially successful men - grew wary of women.
    Nowadays women have competition provided by the homosexual community,
    and this competition is winning ground. Young species are naturally
    vague about their gender as tadpoles. Promotion of gay equality in
    school may change their orientation. Moreover, this search for equality
    brought forth a new bias: while no landlord dares to refuse a gay tenant
    -- fearing opprobrium and a lawsuit -- they easily do refuse families
    with children. Gays have more disposable income, and less
    responsibility.

    I am not worried that human multiplication will cease; but the Evil One
    should be mightily pleased with the results: men and women have drifted
    apart. In order to reverse this trend, it is necessary to change the
    laws and eliminate the Damocles sword of ‘rape’ and ‘harassment’. The
    very words should mean what they meant to our grandparents, an offence
    so severe that an offended woman will make it clear to the offender and
    to the whole world right away. Ordinary women and men are ripe for
    revolt against their feminist priestesses.
