Zionists Out of the Peace Movement

To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war. —Ludwig von Mises, Human Action (4th ed.), p. 832.

The General Assembly ... Determines that zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination. —UN GA Resolution 3379 (XXX).

There are three distinguished in fierceness: Israel among the nations, the dog among animals, and the cock among birds. —Rabbi Simeon, Tractate Bezah 25b, Babylonian Talmud (Quincentenary ed.), Soncino Pr.

Where is it possible to find a group of Jews who are committed to Israel, and whose children are likely to honor that commitment? The answer is, in a synagogue on the Sabbath. —Elliott Abrams, "Can Jews Survive?"

It is a fact that the Jewish religion is above all Jewish nationalism ... One must be a Jew first and a human being second. —Moses Hess, Rome and Jerusalem, as quoted in The Decadence of Judaism in Our Time by Moshe Menuhin.

Why, then, does truth generate hatred ... unless it be that truth is loved in such a way that those who love something else besides her wish that to be the truth which they do love. ... Therefore, they hate the truth for the sake of whatever it is that they love in place of the truth. —Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Bk. X, Ch. XXIII, 34)

Beth Israel: A House of WARship

Members of Ann Arbor's Beth Israel Congregation (BIC) recently indulged themselves in the privileges of Jewish supremacy in Palestine by visiting that part of Palestine stolen from its indigenous inhabitants in 1948. It's not clear if they visited the part of Palestine seized by Jews in 1967. Consistent with the culture of death and violence in Judaism, BIC's members have apparently seldom, if ever, shied away from tacitly or actively supporting violence in a Jewish cause, whether committed by their own members or by the state of Israel.

Below are two photos from the "Beth Israel Trip to Israel 2007 Part II" photo album on the BIC web site. The first shows a small child posing in front of what appears to be an Israeli army armored personnel carrier and the second shows a smiling adult posing in front of the same military vehicle. BIC's open support for Jewish supremacism and militarism in Israel makes them more than a "house of worship." They are also an arm of the Israel lobby and that certainly warrants the continued protests by the courageous members of Jewish Witnesses for Peace and Friends.

Thanks to HH for the tip on the photo album.
