The Palestinians have no chance, unless we free our souls from Jewish control. 

Gaza: Of Mice and Men 

By Israel Adam Shamir 

http://www.israelshamir.net/English/Gaza_Mice_Men.htm 

A cat called to the mouse holed up under the floor: “Come out, you have
nothing to worry about! I have become a pious vegetarian, preparing for
my Hajj, you may play freely”. “Oh wonderful news”, cried the mouse and
ran out of the hole; a moment of the eternity clock passed, and the
mouse found herself in cat’s claws, goes Nizami’s fable. 

This is, in brief, the development of Gaza crisis that began with
Israel’s phoney but much advertised “withdrawal” (a.k.a.
“disengagement”) from Gaza in summer 2005, followed by their phoney
permission to run democratic elections for the Palestinian government. 

- “Sharon changed his ways”, exclaimed the good-meaning Americans and
Europeans; “he – and after him, Olmert – are ready for peace and
reconciliation.” 

- “We liberated Gaza”, said Hamas. 

- “Oy vey!” cried the settlers. 

The cries of joy and sorrow of the fake withdrawal had not died out,
when the real siege and bombardment of Gaza began. After a few months of
shelling, this real takeover of Gaza and arrest of all Palestinian
leadership completed the picture of a fat cat playing with the mouse. 

Our readers may remember that at the height of withdrawal hullabaloo we
called (in Much Ado about Gaza) for everyone to tone down their
expectations: an Israeli pull-out is always followed by a push-in, as in
a rape scene. Do not expect to see the last of them: an Englishman
leaves without bidding farewell, a Jew says his farewells but does not
leave, quoth a Jewish joke. Readers of this list and site received, as
always, the correct forecast: indeed the Jews came back. 

The intermezzo was quite sad, too. Gaza after the withdrawal was one of
the most depressing places on earth, with widespread starvation and vast
unemployment, and it was not the Gazans’ fault: whether under Hamas or
Fatah rule, Gaza can’t stand alone; this narrow strip is surrounded by
Israeli troops and barbed wire, the Gazans have no way to sell their
goods or to import their needs but through Jewish-controlled ports.
Remove the SS men from Auschwitz to its perimeter, give the camp full
autonomy but keep its gates shut from outside, and you’ll get a picture
of Gaza. The Jews destroyed the Gazan industry and trade by their siege:
Gazan fruits and flowers for export withered at Karmi checkpoint, and
multimillion-dollar investment went down the drain. Gazans openly
regretted their new-found “independence”, because in the days of Israeli
rule they could make a living working at Israeli factories, and the
Israeli shelling was much more moderate, while "independent Gaza was
subjected to incessant shelling. Hundreds of missiles and shells were
launched against this small strip of land daily, killing a few but
ruining the nerves of its residents. 

I, for one, know what that means: in 1974, my commando unit spent less
than half a year in the fortified crater of an extinguished volcano some
40 km (25 miles) to the south of Damascus. We were shelled daily by
Syrian artillery, and we could not respond with our light arms to their
cannons. At the first exiting boom we would hide in bunkers and wait for
the salvo to land. Sometimes, it was a single shell, sometimes it was
followed by the inhuman squeal of a Katyusha missile. We had very few
casualties: a couple of wounded and one killed for this whole period of
time, but our nerves were completely shattered. We stopped brushing our
teeth and shaving: it did not make sense when death is so imminent. We
ceased writing letters. Even the periods of the most intense fighting we
went through with dozens of killed comrades were preferable to the
attrition of incessant shelling. Gazans – children, women, men, - had
now almost a year of attrition made worse by aerial booming, something
we were free from by virtue of Israeli air superiority. 

Israeli tactics in Gaza resemble the strategy of “starving into
obedience” applied by the Pentagon to North Vietnam, per the Pentagon
Papers, - the single most evil piece of strategic planning in the 20th
century: 

“Strikes at population targets are likely not only to create a
counterproductive wave of revulsion abroad and at home, but greatly to
increase the risk of enlarging the war with neighbours. Destruction of
locks and dams, however, does not kill or drown people. By
shallow-flooding the rice, it leads after time to widespread starvation
(more than a million dead?) unless food is provided--which we could
offer to do at the conference table.” [1] 

If the Jews were to bomb a hundred thousand Gazans to oblivion, probably
there would be “a wave of revulsion”, but destruction, starvation and
thirst are equally efficient, and do not disturb the world conscience
all that much. The destruction of a Gazan power plant was a shrewd
business decision as well: this American-build and insured station
competed with the Israeli Electric Company for supply of electric power
to Gazans. Even running at half-capacity, the power station undermined
the Jewish supplier’s monopoly.[2] Now it is gone, and Gazans will have
to buy all their electricity from Jews at a much higher price. Combining
business with pleasure, this destruction also allowed Jews to “thirst
Palestinians” in addition to starving them as Gaza has no rivers, and
electricity is needed to operate pumps. 

Still, in this short time of Gazan “independence”, Gazans proved they
are men, not mice. Their stubborn launching of Kassams were a sign of
their unbroken spirit: they refused to be starved into obedience. Kassam
is hardly a weapon in the modern meaning of the word. This is a medieval
weapon, a catapult, at best: an iron mote propelled by a simple device,
carrying no explosives. We built and launched such missiles when we were
kids in prep school. Surely, an iron mote can kill in the unlikely case
of a direct hit, but the chances are small indeed. 

Their brave and well-planned raid of an Israeli siege unit has restored
our appreciation of Gazans’ fighting abilities. It is not a simple thing
to attack tanks with your bare hands. True, Israel utilised this
courageous raid to jumpstart a new invasion of Gaza, but do not make too
much out of this linkage: Haaretz (29.06.06) revealed that the plans for
mass arrests of Palestinian leadership and for re-invasion were prepared
a long time ago. 

The Israeli government referred to the raid: “a horrific, serious terror
attack was carried out by Palestinian factions, which ended in the
deaths of two soldiers, the injury of an additional soldier, and the
kidnapping of Shalit.” Our friend Jeff Blankfort wittily quipped: “One
would think Shalit was a little boy walking to the candy store who had
been seized by a notorious child molester and not a soldier on active
duty”. 

A Palestinian Christian Professor and a Knesset Member, Azmi Bishara
said well of the resistance fighters: “Some people chose to respond to
the murder of Palestinian civilians by attacking an Israeli military
installation. They made the hardest choice, and chose the difficult
path. Those who did not take this path, who did not make this sacrifice,
or put their courage to this test, or suffer the trembling nerves in the
darkness of the tunnel, yet who have some delicacy of feeling towards
the pains of the Palestinians could at least spare this operation the
embarrassment of tainting it as terrorist.” 

Yea, when the Jews attack, that’s war, when they are attacked, it is
terror. Uri Avnery called it “a unilateral war”, on a par with their
“unilateral withdrawals”. But this unilateralism is a constant feature
of Jewish-Native relations: when Jews attack natives, this is rightful
vengeance, when they get some of it back, it is a pogrom. Long before
the Jews defamed Palestinians as terrorists, they vilified their
previous native neighbours, Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Spaniards,
Germans as subhuman and vicious antisemites. If we reject their
defamation of Palestinians, we may re-examine their accusation of
others, and the whole narrative of Jewish suffering will collapse. 

Then, the problem of Palestine, or rather the problem of Jewish
mistreatment of their ‘goyim’ will appear as an old problem, for the way
Jews act today probably is the way they acted – if they could –
yesterday. Long before the apartheid wall spanned Palestine, the Jews
did not allow a native Spaniard to enter the walled city of Lucena,
where they held sway.[3] Long before they shelled Gaza, they filled
Mamilla Pool in Jerusalem with blood of slaughtered Christians. 

This is a good news for the descendants of Jews: we were brainwashed in
hatred to ‘antisemitic’ mankind; came the Rape of Gaza, and now we learn
that mankind was right and good, while we misbehaved. It is better to
find oneself in the wrong than to accuse the whole of mankind, for one
can repent. 

This understanding began to seep into our conscience. A man of Jaffa,
Anwar Sacca wrote to Dorothy Naor, a wonderful Israeli woman: “Through
their [Jewish] history, unfortunately not only for Jews but for the
whole world, they were always self-destructive supremacists. As a
minority living within any country and enjoying its citizenship, they
always antagonized their fellow citizens by totally dominating their
economy, media, life styles etc...to a limitless extent which generated
dreadful consequences they had to heavily pay for. The same case applies
in Palestine…” 

The Rape of Gaza fits too well into this centuries-proven pattern. The
Jewish leadership didn't intend to give their captive goy a chance to
lead normal life. Sooner will a cat turn vegetarian. Whatever they do,
expect the worst. Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes. “Their good deeds are
as dangerous as their obvious crimes”. In 1880s, Dostoyevsky
prophesised: if and when the Jews get power, they will skin the goy
alive. In Palestine this prophesy is being realised. This is not a
question of innate Jewish qualities: a Jew can be good and do good, a
Jew can repent, but ‘the Jews’ can’t because this body politic exists to
compete and combat the indigenes, whether in Palestine or elsewhere. 

Ideologically, a Jewish state will do the Jewish thing, that is, to
fight natives and combat the Church, whether Christian or Islamic. “If
the Jews of old were to come back”, - wrote Simone Weil, - “they would
destroy our churches and massacre us all”. “The Jewish tradition is
rampantly ethnocentric and dehumanises outsiders with a gusto that could
hardly be exceeded”, - wrote Ed Herman in his Triumph of the Market[4].
In the Jewish State, the Jews of old have come back, and the Jewish
tradition has became paramount. 

Thus, the Hamas was right in refusing to recognise the Jewish state: in
no way this state can become a tolerable neighbour, whether ruled by
Labour of Peretz or by Kadima of Olmert, or even in extremely unlikely
case of being ruled by Mr Avnery. This state has to be dismantled, like
the Assassins’ extraterritorial State that once controlled the Middle
East. The Assassins drew their power from their ability and preparedness
to assassinate the prominent leaders of Crusaders and Muslims, while
leaving alive only weak rulers who did not dare to touch them. 

In the days of old, salvation came from unexpected corner: West Asia was
conquered by Mongols and these ruthless warriors flushed the Assassins
out of their mountain retreats and utterly destroyed their conspiracy.
Their harmless descendants are Ismailis, who live peacefully and do not
disturb peace anymore. If we can’t solve the problem, some new Mongols
will dismantle the State of Sodom and render descendents of Jews as
harmless as Ismailis. 

Then, there is a milder way of dealing with the problem by introducing
reciprocity instead of unilateralism. A medieval chronicle reports that
the Jewish King of Khazar once said to a Muslim visitor: “We would
destroy all the churches and mosques in our kingdom right away, but we
can’t for fear that they will destroy the synagogues in Baghdad and
Constantinople”. Indeed, if in response to the Jewish destruction of
Gaza’s power plant, an Israeli power plant in Caesarea were erased, and
the Jews had to survive our summer without air-conditioners, they
wouldn’t do it again. If the Jews in Europe were limited to the rights
their brethren granted to Palestinians, Palestine would be free
tomorrow. 

But why should we indulge in daydreaming? Who could do such a deed? The
Arabs are subdued. The US conquest of Iraq eliminated the last
independent Arab state. Iran is being pushed hard and this powerful
Muslim state is happy every day it is not bombed. Syria is in the
crosshairs of the US whom the French are helping them to contain
Damascus. Never before – since Saladin – has the Middle East been so
helpless and powerless. 

Europe and America are equally subdued: none of prominent public figures
dared to object to the Jewish Drang nach Gaza. “Why do you keep quiet?”
exclaimed Jonathan Steele in the Guardian (July 6, “Europe's response to
the siege of Gaza is shameful”). Don’t you know the answer, Mr Steele?
Whoever tried, was invariably defamed as “antisemite” and “neonazi”, and
lost his living and his good name. I know, I tried to defend the
Palestinians, and was stabbed in the back by a couple of nice
Palestinian activists, Mr Ali Abunimah and Mr Nigel Perry of Electronic
Intifada, followed by a cabal of other pro-Palestinian activists. Only
after that did the heavy guns of Jewish media – like Aaronovitch of the
Times, or Wikipedia – go into action. These good activists deserve some
credit for present destruction of Palestine: if an Israel Shamir from
Jaffa is attacked like that, what could expect a John Smith from
Wisconsin? Whoever tried to defend Palestinians, got this treatment,
unless he observed the PC rule of never uttering the J word. Still, I do
not regret speaking the truth, for if we keep silent, the stones will
cry out. 

The Palestinians have no chance, unless we free our souls from Jewish
control. And here we may turn to the second J word, more mighty than the
first: Jesus. The present subservience of the West began with a minor
step. In 1960s, the Western churches removed from their liturgy a prayer
“Oremus et pro perfidis Judaeis”, “Let us pray for perfidious Jews that
our God and Lord will remove the veil from their hearts so that they too
may acknowledge the light of thy truth which is our Lord Jesus Christ
and be delivered from their darkness”. This is a far cry from the Jewish
prayer “Shepokh Hamatha”, “Lord, vent your fury upon goyim who do not
know your name”. But the Jews preserved their prayer of vengeance, while
misled and subdued Christians dropped their prayer of mercy. Say this
prayer today, say it in your church, dismiss a priest who dares it not,
and tomorrow you will not writhe in face of Jewish displeasure, and Gaza
– and your soul - will be saved. And if your prayer will be answered,
the Jews will be saved, too.
