In 1923s, a Russian poet Carney Chukovsky has written a delightful short
tale for children, Tarakan the Giant Beetle, an all-time favourite nursery
rhyme for Russian kids. It is a story of the Animal Kingdom intimidated by
Tarakan. The Beetle threatened to devour the disobedient animals, and the
awed Lions and Tigers have holed up in their lairs. True, a beetle has no
fangs or horns, but menacing Tarakan would brandish his great long
mustachio, and no beast would dare to challenge the small monster, until a
little Sparrow flew in, and ate up the Beetle, to common relief. Despite his
threats, Tarakan was just an insect.
This nursery rhyme came to my mind as the great nations of Europe, "whose
step once shook the earth, who endeavoured revolutions of great magnitude,
populated new continents, conceived and inspired faiths and religions",
tremble in fear like schoolchildren in front of their strict teacher. Once,
England ruled the waves, English Tommies climbed the Khyber pass, marched
into Cairo and stormed the Atlantic Wall. A Prime Minister of England could
decide the fate of millions. Now, he can't apologise fast enough for a
faux-pas of his wife, who dared to doubt the divine right of Jews to murder
Palestinian children as they find fit.
The French were not afraid to get rid of their king and aristocracy, to
disestablish their Church, to conquer Africa and move out of Algeria. But
their selfless adoration of the Jews was put in doubt, and they lost their
confidence. The Germans created best music, philosophy and science, and the
first welfare state in human history. Now they go into a collective toxic
shock whenever the word "Jew" is pronounced. Europeans agreed to become
'younger brothers of Jews', and follow the line ordered by New York and Tel
Aviv.
The fate of Americans is not better. Proud to arrogance, they assumed the
White Man's Destiny will lead them from conquest to conquest. They took over
the great landmass of North America, forcibly opened the doors of Japan, and
won two world wars, just to find themselves strangers in their own house.
Now, instead of their own history they study Holocaust Studies, instead of
promoting their own interests, they fight mercenary wars for Israel. They
work harder and harder to supply the goods to their new elite. They judge
the world by one criterion, 'whether it is good for Jews'.
This fear of Jews became ridiculous and disproportionate. We Jews have no
horns and fangs, we should be treated like any group of people our size and
cultural output: say, Welsh or Slovak. It is a cause of embarrassment for
everybody concerned, not least to ordinary folks of Jewish origin. It is
right time for the fearless Sparrow to come in and to deflate the overblown
Tarakan, and to save the Lions and the Tigers, as well as the little white
Lamb of the Holy Land. Well, the Sparrow is here, and I have seen it.

Marseille is a dynamic neat Mediterranean city facing one of the best harbours in the world, well protected by its two forts. The hometown of
French Revolution and of French national anthem, it was sung by Pagnol, but
not everybody in Marseille is called Marius, not everybody drinks Pastis.
The City's hero is called Zidane, a Franco-Arab football player of renown.
In the Medina, the colourful Oriental Quarter of the City, throngs of
relaxed and joyful Franco-Arabs, natives of France, second and third
generation of Algerians, Tunisians and Moroccans created an exciting mixture
of Maghreb and Provence. They are free people, restful and fearless. I was
guided there by a large jovial smiling and chatty woman in colourful long
and spacious dress, Rabha Attaf, born in France but keeping ties with the
other shore of the Med. Rabha was chairing a conference for equality of Jew
and Gentile in the Holy Land.
It was a great relief to meet jolly Rabha and her friends, children of
immigrants and natives of Provence. They cared for Palestine and did not
care for the seal of kosher approval by the crypto-Zionists. Such approval
is not coming cheaply: the Jews for Two States allow activists a meagre
defence against anti-Semitic labelling and extract recognition of the
exclusionary racist Jewish state in exchange.
A crypto-Zionist I met in Marseille gave me the most ingenious argument
against universal suffrage. "Israel is a racist state, she said. Why do you
want the Palestinians to become citizens of the racist state?" It was almost
as good as Zeno's proof that Achilles would never overtake a tortoise.
In the city of the Golden Gate, beautiful San Francisco, I met the second
generation of immigrants who achieved prosperity, but saved their hearts and
desire to help. They do not embrace the Judeo-American faith, they remain
immune to the Mammonite malady, and they are not easily intimidated by the
slur of anti-Semitism. Together with the brave Afro-Americans, the
Immigrants retain the true American values lost by many docile WASPs.
The Immigrants from the Muslim world usually are described as 'Muslims' or
"Arabs", though many of them belong to Eastern Christian Churches, Orthodox,
Maronite or Nestorian. They have found a new home in Europe, and became a
part of the old continent's new mosaic. They even object to continuing
immigration as much as anybody. Innocent of the WWII guilt, Semitic by race
(if it exists) and language, free of hate or fear of Jews, certain in their
religious beliefs, they are probably the only people (excluding Israeli
dissidents) who are not afraid to take the Judeo-Zionist establishment on.
They smile at the slur of 'anti-Semitism' as the Sparrow probably smiled at
Tarakan's menacing mustachio.
These days, the immigrants have received their baptism of fire in Germany,
the European stronghold of Zionist influence. The Syrian-born German MP,
Jamal Karsli, called on Germany to stop selling weapons to Israel because,
among other things, its armed forces employ Nazi methods. Immediately his
own Green party ditched him. A lesser man would learn the might of the Giant
Beetle and retire, but this Asian Sparrow joined the Free Democratic Party
(FDP) and broke another taboo by openly speaking in an interview about the
strong influence of the Zionist lobby over the German media.
The Zionist minders of Germany launched a ferocious attack on the brave man.
Karsli was forced to resign from his new party and, at very crucial moment
for the Palestinians, most of the potential German supporters of a just
peace in the Middle East became almost completely neutralized, wrote Shraga
Elam, an Israeli dissident living in Germany. Many courageous Israeli
dissidents, including Dr Ilan Pappe of Haifa University and Gideon Spiro of
the Israeli Campaign for Mordechai Vanunu, supported Karsli.
Shraga Elam writes: "In the present atmosphere in Germany many people are
afraid to utter loudly what they think and to express their legitimate
critique against Israeli war crimes. Because of this, a growing number of
people feel that only the right-wing radicals are courageous enough to
declare publicly the widespread disapproval of Israeli politics".
His analysis practically coincides with that of Dr Kevin McDonald, a
California State University Professor, who wrote: "In Germany, a critical
discussion of Jewish policies . . . is virtually impossible. Whether
conservative or liberal, a contemporary German intellectual who says
anything outside a narrowly defined spectrum of codified pieties about Jews
runs the risk of professional and social suicide. Discussions of the work of
Jewish intellectuals have come to dominate German intellectual life to the
almost complete exclusion of non-Jewish Germans. Scholars have lost all
sense of normal standards of intellectual criticism and have come to
identify more or less completely with the Jewish victims of Nazism. Jewish
writers like Kafka are seen as intellectual giants who are above criticism.
Even minor Jewish writers are elevated to the highest levels of the literary
canon while Germans like Thomas Mann are discussed mainly because they held
views on Jews that have become unacceptable in polite society. Indeed, it is
not too far fetched to suppose that German culture as the culture of Germans
has disappeared entirely, replaced by the culture of the Holocaust" [1].
It seems even obedient Germans got tired of it. Just a few days after the
brave interview of Jamal Karsli, the Germans flocked to buy a controversial
novel Death of a critic by Martin Walser. The main character in the book, a
creative writer, kills a vehement Jewish critic (like in Bulgakov's Master
and Margarita). The leading German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
called the novel, 'anti-Semitic,' but it has been sold out on its first day
of publication in Germany. A few years ago, Walser caused the rage of
Zionist lobby in Germany saying the WWII tragedy was used as a "moral
cudgel" to hammer home "German disgrace for current-day purposes".
Apparently, Europe and America need immigrants from the Islamic world as the
jungle needs the fearless Sparrow. That is a great irony of history, as
immigrants were considered natural and obedient allies of anti-nationalist
forces. Now these allies had parted their ways.

Immigration from the Islamic world was an important tool of the neo-liberal,
globalist, Mammonite policy. While good people helped refugees, the
Mammonites encouraged immigration as a means to lower native workers'
salaries, to extract more profit by using cheap foreign labour and to
undermine homogeneity of the society. The new rich outsiders supported
immigration in order to displace traditional elites and to occupy their
place. European nationalists had a valid reason to object to the immigration
from Dar al-Islam, as they perceived it a threat to their society's
traditional way of life.
But the Mammonites stepped on their own petard. The immigrants had settled,
moved socially upwards and discovered the unwritten taboos of the Western
society. They noticed that the Mammonites obstruct their social integration
and full participation in the public discourse. "Could it be that
Arab-Americans can't write?" - exclaimed the gifted Ahmed Amr from Seattle
as he noticed the Jewish owners and editors of newspapers openly
discriminate immigrants from the East. The Immigrants noticed that the
persecutors of Palestinians are their real adversaries, and they have had no
hate or fear of Jews. It caused the rift between the immigrants and their
former supporters. From Marseille to Berlin, from San Francisco to Rome, a
new constellation took place, as the Mammonites dropped the PC and have
attacked the Immigrants.
A top Jewish official, Stephen Steinlight, Director of National Affairs at
the American Jewish Committee [2], frankly called the Jews "to disregard our
own Politically Correct gods, and to risk upsetting old and new friends and
allies". Unless the Jews contain the Immigrants, says Steinlight, "Jewish
political power would diminish". "Our present privilege, success and power
do not inure us from the effect of historical processes. We have an enormous
stake in the outcome of the process, and we cannot contemplate the loss of
power with complacency". In order to protect their privilege, Jews should
discourage non-Jewish immigration and undermine the meagre influence of the
Immigrants, as "the non-European immigrants harbour no feelings of guilt and
see the Jews only as the most privileged and powerful of white Americans".
The white Americans are docile and obedient, but the immigrants from the
Muslim world, whether Muslims or Orthodox Christians, do not accept the
Jewish privilege as a norm.
Steinlight expressed hatred to Latinos, "who unseated our best congressmen",
but utmost hostility of this spokesman of Jewry is aimed at Muslims and
Eastern Christians, Immigrants and converts alike, who threaten "our
disproportionate political power". He proposed to use "the Jewish power
disproportionally concentrated in Hollywood, TV and news industry" in order
to "divide and conquer" various communities of Americans.
Steinlight draws a self-portrait of an American Judeo-Nazi: "I was taught
that Israel is my true homeland. More tacitly and subconsciously I was
taught the superiority of my people to the gentiles. We were taught to view
non-Jews as untrustworthy outsiders, while the primary division in the world
was between "us" and "them".
The policy of "divide and conquer" was executed in Europe through
publication and promotion of the racist writings by Oriana Falacci. Take her
article, substitute 'Jews' for 'Muslims', publish it and you will find
yourself in jail doing five years for hate crime. Put 'Muslims' back and
laugh all the way to bank. Muslims for Falacci are "scoundrels with turban
or kaffiah".
The mass murderer of Sabra and Shatila, Kibie and Jenin is "the tragic and
Shakespearean figure Sharon". Well, Shakespeare has such figures, but
usually they have no names, just "Second Murderer".
Oriana regrets that "nobody can keep a Mustafa or a Mohammed from enrolling
in a University (something I hope will change)". Indeed, let them wash
dishes, as in her beloved Israel.
She blasphemes Jesus Christ, and refers to "a Jew without whom the priests
would all be unemployed" (probably Judas?)
Her narration of history is as perverted as that of present. She writes: "I
find it shameful that almost all of the left forgets the contribution made
by the Jews to the fight against fascism". One could add, "but the present
fascist right of Italy did not forget the contribution made by Jews to the
cause of fascism". Indeed, many Italian Jews ardently supported Italian
fascism from its very beginning. Three out of five Martyrs of Fascism were
Jews, and there were Jewish ministers in the governments of Mussolini.
Zionist leaders, including Sharon's mentor Jabotinsky, adored Italian
fascists, and now, the neo-fascist party of Italy is a good friend of Sharon
and of the state of Israel.
The enlightened Jews, yesterday's fighters against racism, now support this
Judeo-Nazi line. A liberal Jewish professor forwarded to me her article with
an introduction saying, "What Oriana Fallaci is saying about the Islamic
leaders is eye-opening. This is a real prophetic call addressed to the West.
If we do not realize where the danger comes from it will be over with us".
Yes, it is indeed eye-opening. It should open eyes on the new idea promoted
by Masters of Discourse: "you may be a racist to anybody, as long as you are
OK to Jews".
This concept was spelt out by Alexander Chancellor in the Guardian [3] in
his eulogy of the assassinated Dutch right-wing leader Pim Fortuyn aptly
called "Not Black and White". The late saint "was never suspected of
anti-Semitism. Islam was his great enemy and he supported Israel in its war
against Palestinians". It makes this enemy of immigrants a good guy even for
the liberal Guardian. I hope the Guardian will provide us with portraits of
other saints, as well. What about Jack the Ripper? He was never suspected of
anti-Semitism, too.
Nor was Mussolini, neither Franco. As Albert Lindemann
[4] convincingly
demonstrated, Adolf Hitler was unique in his rejection of Jews. Other
fascists, most notably Mussolini, tried to persuade Hitler to desist of his
struggle with Jews, as they did. Judeo-Nazism proposed by Steinlight,
preached by Oriana Falacci, exemplified by Ariel Sharon, accepted by the
Guardian is the winning proposition, the one the Masters of the Discourse
are trying now on our world. Not in vain, an Israeli government delegation
participated in deliberations of European extreme right in Brussels.
It is a complicated and decisive moment in the history of European and
American Nationalist forces. A generation ago, they were pushed to fight
Communism, and in the end both antagonists found themselves almost extinct.
Now the same forces bent on 'divide et impera' try to set them up and
against the Immigrants from the Muslim world, in order to preserve
"unprecedented power and privilege of American Jewry". The Mammonites have
powerful tools: media and universities, political system and business. It is
a moment when the enemies of yesteryear, leaders of Nationalists and
Immigrants should meet and work out a common strategy, for the general
well-being and against privilege.
"The Prince of the World could pervert any idea of the Lord; but the Lord
can turn every Satan's idea into a wonderful thing" [5].
