Some of you know more about the Middle East than I do, but most Americans know almost nothing about it. This attack on the World Trade Center came about because of incredible levels of anger between Arabs and Jews, and the USA is in the middle of this fight.

Since Americans are involved, we should have a better understanding of the history of the Middle East and America's involvement in it.

Zionism gets established

Jews have been scattered around Europe and Russia for centuries. However, they were never welcome anywhere, except for brief periods. Not surprisingly, many Jews dreamed of having their own nation.

In 1897 Chaim Weizmann, a British Jew, officially announced the creation of the Zionist movement. The goal of Zionism was to create a nation for Jews in Palestine. Their goal was not to make friends around the world, nor to love other nations or other people.

The problem they faced was that the Arabs who were living there had no desire to give it up. Also, Turkey had control of Palestine of this time, and Turkey refused to give any part of Palestine to the Jews.

A few Jews moved into Palestine at this time, but only in small numbers were allowed in, and they could not take the land for their own nation.

The Arabs were not concerned when the first few Jews came in. The Arabs did not realize what was coming up in the future, just as the Native Americans did not realize what was happening when the Pilgrims landed on their shore. Only after a few years, when the quantity of Jews increased, did the Arabs become angry.

Zionists look for friends in high places
Britain was regarded as a world leader at this time (America at this time was not much above Australia in the world's social hierarchy). The Zionists thought that perhaps the British government could somehow help them.

The Zionists needed influence over the British government. They soon noticed a law firm in London in which one of the partners was also a government official. By going to this law firm for any legal help they needed, (or pretended to need), they would have access to a high-level government official. This gave them the opportunity to become friends (at least to a certain extent) with a government official. This contact with the law firm turned out to help them meet other government officials.

The Zionists spent a lot of time contacting British government officials and trying to convince them to help the Zionists cause, but the most the British government was willing to do was in 1903 when they offered to make some land in Uganda available to the Zionists. (Britain still had colonies around the world at this time.)

Since Turkey controlled Palestine, I have to wonder what the Zionists were thinking the British government could do for them. Did they think it was possible that the British government would convince Turkey into allowing a portion of Palestine to become Israel? Or did they think Britain would start a war with Turkey, drive the Turks out of Palestine, and then give Palestine to the Zionists?

The Brits, French, and Zionists try to use each other in WW1

Zionism got established in 1896, but not much happened with it until World War 1.

Exactly what role the Zionists played during World War 1 is a mystery. All we know for certain is that Britain and France were trying to win the war, and the Zionists were looking for help in creating Israel.

Before I continue, you should be aware that during wars there is a lot of lying, manipulation, spying, fake documents, and double crossing. You cannot expect historians to make sense of events during a war because the lying and deception is at extreme levels.

We know that during the war both the British and French governments gave the Zionists a document which offered support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, although in such a vague manner that neither government was actually committing to anything.

The questions nobody can answer are: Did the Zionists manipulate the British and French in order to get those documents? Or did the British and French give the Zionists those documents in an attempt to use the Zionists in some manner? Or (most likely) were all three groups trying to use one another?

Some historians believe the British government was trying to use the Zionists to bring America into the war, thereby providing Britain with some assistance. In this scenario, Britain wanted the Zionists to encourage the American Jews to put pressure on the American government to get into in the war.

Some historians also believe that some British government officials may have been thinking that it would be to Britain's advantage to have Zionists in Palestine because that would put some friends of Britain near the Suez canal.

Furthermore, some historians believe that some British officials also made promises to Arabs, while other officials made promises to France.

If this situation seems crazy and confusing, remember, this was a time of war. Individual government officials sometimes act on their own, promising things they cannot deliver, and promising things that conflict with the promises of other officials. And sometimes people and governments make promises that they have no intention of keeping.

Nobody will ever know exactly what the Zionists, British, or French were thinking, or who was involved in what, or how these three groups were trying to use, abuse, and/or double cross one another. All we know is that in June of 1917 the French gave the Zionists a document that expressed support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and in November of 1917 the British government did also.

The French document was so vague that it essentially stated, "Hey, a homeland for Jews! Great idea! Good Luck!"

The British document had a bit more substance. Not surprisingly, the French document never became important to the Zionists, while the British document became referred to it as the �Balfour Declaration�.

The Balfour Declaration stated that the British government would help the Jews create a homeland in Palestine as long as it did not bother the Palestinians. Exactly how the British could accomplish such a feat was what we might refer to as �a minor detail� that the British never bothered to explain. The British government had agreed to something that they could easily back out of on the grounds that they cannot see how they can help the Jews without annoying the Palestinians.

What this means is that the Zionists did not get anything of value from the British or the French.

Did the British or the French get anything from the Zionists? Since it appears that the Zionists helped encourage America to get into the war, it seems that the British got what they wanted. Therefore, we might say that it appears as if the British outsmarted the Zionists in this situation.

Britain becomes guardian of Palestine

World War One changed the situation dramatically in Palestine because Turkey was a loser in that war. British troops in 1918 drove the Turks out of Palestine. The Palestinians then became free to have their own nation again, but they did not have a government because they had been under Turkish control for many generations.

Britain agreed to maintain some troops in Palestine and protect the area until 1948 in order to give the Palestinians have a chance to form their own government and recover from the war. This policy became official in 1922 when the League of Nations agreed to the plan. The British protection was scheduled to stop in 1948, at which time it was assumed the Palestinians would be capable to taking care of themselves.

The protection of Palestine by the British created a dilemma for the Zionists. The goal of Britain was to protect Palestine from outside forces, and that meant protecting them from Zionists.

However, the Balfour Declaration would come back to haunt the British. When Turkey had control of Palestine, that declaration was a meaningless piece of paper. Now that Britain was guardian of Palestine, the Jews would use it to pressure the British into letting Jews emigrate to Palestine.

After the war the Jews took the Balfour Declaration to the League of Nations and convinced them to approve it also. Then they could put even more pressure on the British government by saying that even the League of Nations agrees to the idea of a Jewish home in Palestine. The Zionists had outsmarted the British.

Jews arrive in Palestine in large numbers

The Jews would push the British government into allowing a group Jews to emigrate to Palestine. However, whenever a group of Jews arrived in Palestine, it would cause fights with the Arabs. The British would respond by forbidding more Jews from emigrating to Palestine. The Jews would then repeat the process. They would hold up the Balfour Declaration and beg, plead, and manipulate.

Time after time the British government officials would agree to allow another group of Jews to emigrate to Palestine, which would create fights in Palestine, and then the British would forbid Jews from emigrating to Palestine. This cycle repeated over and over. Palestine was becoming a battlezone between Zionists and Palestinians, and the Zionist population kept rising.

The British government let themselves get pushed into a ridiculous situation. They had signed the Balfour Declaration which gave their approval to a Jewish homeland in Palestine, but their main priority was to protect Palestinians. There was no way the British could appease both groups of people. They ended up doing what politicians in democratic nations do all the time. Namely, they occasionally appeased both groups. The end result was that the situation became more of mess than before they got involved. Some Palestinians may have been wishing Turkey still controlled the area!

As the population of Jews in Palestine increased, the Jews became increasingly arrogant and demanding. Some of the Jews eventually reached a point where there were no longer content to kill only the Arabs; specifically, they occasionally attacked the British, and even killed some British soldiers. Israel had become more important than the lives of their British friends.

The Americans could have been the first Nazis

The Zionists were considered terrorists, by both the British and American definition. It is interesting to consider that if the Americans had been conducting an anti-terrorist campaign during the early 1900's, they would have been tossing those Daisy Cutter and other adorable bombs with cute names all over Palestine in order to kill the Zionists and defend both the Palestinians and the British. The Americans would have been killing Jews before Hitler came to power. The Americans may have destroyed the Zionist movement.

The Jews benefitted from Hitler more than from Moses

The Zionist movement changed dramatically when Hitler came to power. As you probably know, the Nazis considered the Jews to be a menace to society. When the Nazis first acquired power in 1933, they confiscated businesses from the Jews and harassed them. The Nazis wanted the Jews to get out of Germany. Not surprisingly, many of the Jews reacted by leaving Germany.

The flow of Jews out of Germany helped the Zionist movement because some of those Jews decided to join the Zionist cause. The Nazis inadvertently fuelled the Zionist fire.

Some of those Jews moved to Britain where they assisted in pressuring the British government officials to allow Jews to move to Palestine.

Sometime after 1940 the Nazis decided that driving the Jews into the neighboring nations was not solving the Jewish problem. The Nazis decided to exterminate the Jews. This turned out to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to the Jews. After World War Two was over the Jews would hold up the gas chambers and use them to gain pity from everybody on the planet.

Hitler � inadvertently � did more to help the Jews than anybody else. The Nazi gas chambers are still providing lots of benefits to the Jews 50 years later! And the Jews may benefit from those gas chambers for decades more, maybe even centuries!

From 1945 onward, the world has become saturated with sad stories about the Holocaust. It seems as if every Jewish author has written at least one book, play, or article about the Holocaust. It seems as if every Jewish moviemaker has created at least one Holocaust movie. It is difficult to get through a single day in America without hearing at least one reference to Nazis or Holocaust victims.

Consider just a few more examples of how the Jews use Hitler:

Saddam was described as �the Hitler of the Mideast�.

In 1984 Nathan Perlmutter of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, and Nat Hentoff of the Village Voice, referred to Minister Farrakhan as a "Black Hitler."http://abbc.com/islam/english/toread/farrfact.htm

In May 2001 the President of Syria complained about Israel's occupation of Syria and Palestine. The next day many people in the media referred to him as a Hitler.http://www.mediamonitors.net/khodr46.html

Where would the Jews be today if it hadn't been for Hitler?

Every group of people can claim to have been a victim of a holocaust, and everybody can accuse their attackers of being �a Viking Hitler�, or "a Chinese Hitler", or "a Protestant Hitler", or "an Aztec Hitler".

Even Christians use Hitler and Nazis to manipulate emotions. Was it Rush Limbaugh who created the word "feminazis" to refer to women he did not like?

How much money in royalties would the Jews, Limbaugh, and others owe the Hitler Corporation if Hitler could have copyrighted words such as �Nazi� and �Hitler�?

You might find it interesting to imagine how awful the world would be if every group of people and every religion were to saturate us with their particular holocaust stories in movies, newspapers, and daily conversations. Imagine day after day, year after year the French repeat holocaust stories of how they suffered abuse from the British and the Germans. Imagine the victims of Napoleon and the French Foreign Legion bombarding us with their holocaust stories. How about the Native Americans providing holocaust stories about how they suffered from the European immigrants? Don't forget the central Europeans who have holocaust stories about how they suffered from the Nazi-Vikings.

It seems as if most books and movies in America find a way to remind us of Hitler or Nazis. Imagine that every group of people were to provide as many holocaust books and movies as the Jews. Imagine that every time you look in a newspaper or magazine, or every time you watch the TV news, you have to put up with somebody's holocaust story.

None of the books or movies about the Holocaust are serious; rather, they try to stimulate pity of Jews and hatred of Nazis. The Holocaust stories are attempts to manipulate, not educate.

The Jews are simply exploiting the suffering and death of their fellow Jews. The moment a Jew suffers or dies, the other Jews look for ways to exploit the situation. It reminds me of the way cockroaches immediately begin eating one another when one of them dies.

It also reminds me of the way American lawyers try to profit from crimes and fights. Our lawyers are not interested in understanding why fights or crimes are occurring, nor do they show any desire to prevent future problems. Instead, they look for ways to profit from other people's problems.

America becomes a Superpower

World War Two changed the world in one other very significant way. Specifically, it put America into the role of world leader.

In 1945 America found itself with lots of advanced European technology and weapons. A group people with almost no understanding of Palestine, Zionism, or much else, suddenly became the world leader.

"It's your problem now; we're out of here!"

Britain had agreed to remove its soldiers from Palestine in 1948. It was assumed that by 1948 the Palestinians would be ready to function as an independent nation. Unfortunately, in the decades prior to 1948 the Zionists had been moving into Palestine and fighting with the Palestinians in an attempt to drive them off the land. The Palestinians never got their government established due to the fighting, terrorism, and chaos.

When World War Two began, Britain turned its attention to the war. After the war they were busy recovering from it. The British people were no longer much interested in protecting Palestine; rather, there were more concerned about their own nation. The British government decided to remove their troops in 1948 despite the fact that the Palestinians were not ready to govern themselves. In February of 1947 Britain warned the United Nations that the problem will be in their hands in 1948.

So, in 1947 the representatives at the United Nations discussed what to do with this disaster in Palestine. Somebody brought up the suggestion that Palestine be divided into a Jewish area and a Palestinian area. He even provided a map and showed how to divide the land. The Palestinians and other Arab nations considered this to be unacceptable.

Government officials in democratic nations tend to be submissive; ie, they try to please as many people as possible. British government officials are no exception. Voting for the proposal to divide Palestine would upset the Palestinians, and voting against it would upset the Zionists. The solution the British officials came up with was to avoid voting. Nine other nations also decided not to vote.

The United Nations is nothing more than a meeting place where representatives discuss issues (and avoid controversial issues). The representatives discussed this proposal to divide Palestine, but since the nations could not agree to anything, nothing was done about it. The United Nations then ignored the problem and moved on to other issues.

How will the world ever become a nice place to live when democratic government officials have this tendency to please as many people as possible and avoid controversial problems?

The United Nations is regarded by millions of people as a great organization that solves problems, but I challenge you to find one problem that it has solved. The UN representatives discuss a lot of issues, but they don't solve any problems. When the United Nations makes a decision to do something, such as to bomb Iraq in 1991, it is due to pressure by America. America virtually controls the United Nations.

Israel is announced in 1948

At midnight on May 14, 1948 the British were officially ending their protection of Palestine. The Palestinians did not yet have a real government, and neither did the Zionists. The British were taking their troops away from two groups of leaderless people who were fighting with each other. The British did not care, and neither did the United Nations. In fact, nobody cared. Most of Europe was recovering from war, and most of the rest of the world had plenty of their own problems to deal with. Nobody wanted to get involved in the fighting between the Palestinians and Zionists.

The Zionists announced that at midnight � the moment the British were officially gone � the nation of Israel will officially begin. They decided use the borders that were discussed at the United Nations in 1947.

Not surprisingly, the Arab nations were annoyed with this announcement, and the fighting escalated to a serious war.

Most nations ignored the announcement about Israel. Initially, nobody considered Israel to be a nation. The exception was America.

Midnight in Palestine was 6:00 pm at the US Capitol. According to the Truman archives, 11 minutes after 6:00 pm President Truman signed a document that recognized Israel.

How did Truman come to this decision so quickly? Did the Congress, the President, and the American citizens hold meetings and discuss the issue of the fighting between Palestinians and Zionists? Did the Americans decide within 11 minutes that the best solution to this problem is to recognize Israel and ignore the Palestinians? Or had the Americans been discussing this issue for many years already?

Most Americans today have no idea what Zionism is, and no understanding of the history of Palestine or Israel. The Americans of 1948 were just as ignorant. The decision to recognize Israel did not come from serious discussions by the American people or the American government. Rather, it was due to manipulation by Jews.

The Jews manipulated Truman and other American government officials into recognizing Israel, just as they manipulated the British government officials into allowing Zionists to move to Palestine. Most of the American population had no idea what was going on.

How did the Jews manipulate Truman?

Let's look at the Truman library. I selected the following entries from what is a very brief summary of Truman's daily activities. You can find the complete listing at this site:
http://www.trumanlibrary.org/israel/palestin.htm

My comments are underneath the entries.

October 17, 1947: President Truman writes to Senator Claude Pepper: "I received about 35,000 pieces of mail and propaganda from the Jews in this country while this matter [the issue of the partition of Palestine, which was being considered by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine from May 13, 1947 to August 31, 1947] was pending. I put it all in a pile and struck a match to it -- I never looked at a single one of the letters because I felt the United Nations Committee [United Nations Special Committee on Palestine] was acting in a judicial capacity and should not be interfered with."

The Jews would inundate Truman with mail in an attempt to manipulate him. However, this entry shows you that Truman was trying to ignore them.

December 12, 1947: President Truman writes to Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the World Zionist Organization, that it is essential that restraint and tolerance be exercised by all parties if a peaceful settlement is to be reached in the Middle East.

Truman's remark to Weizmann is similar to those that our government leaders give to Israel today. Specifically, Truman did not want to support the killings by the Zionists, but he did not have the emotional strength to say so directly. Instead, he made a very mild, polite suggestion for the Zionists to restrain themselves. Can you imagine if the police were so emotionally timid that they politely ask Jeff Dahmer to �exercise restraint and tolerance�? Do you wonder how Stalin found it easy to dominate Truman and other democratic leaders?

February 21, 1948: Eddie Jacobson, a longtime and close personal friend of President Truman, sends a telegram to Truman, asking him to meet with Chaim Weizmann,...

Weizmann flies to America, and a Jewish friend of Truman tries to convince him to meet Weizmann. Why a personal meeting? Why not correspond by letter or telephone? The reason is that people can be manipulated in person much easier than with a letter. Weizmann wanted a personal meeting with Truman in order to manipulate him.

February 27, 1948: President Truman writes to his friend Eddie Jacobson, refusing to meet with Chaim Weizmann...

Truman certainly knew that the only reason Weizmann wanted a personal meeting was so that he could push Truman into supporting the Zionists.

March 13, 1948: President Truman's friend Eddie Jacobson walks into the White House without an appointment and pleads with Truman to meet with Chaim Weizmann, ..

Here we find Truman's Jewish �friend� taking advantage of him. Was Jacobson really Truman's �friend�? Or was Jacobson maintaining this friendship for the potential benefits?

March 18, 1948: President Truman meets with Chaim Weizmann. Truman says he wishes to see justice done in Palestine without bloodshed, and that if the Jewish state were declared and the United Nations remained stalled in its attempt to establish a temporary trusteeship over Palestine, the United States would recognize the new state immediately.

At this meeting, Weizmann pressured Truman into agreeing to immediately recognize the state of Israel the moment it is established. Truman is not permitted to think about it or discuss this issue with the nation.

April 11, 1948: President Truman's friend Eddie Jacobson enters the White House unnoticed by the East Gate and meets with Truman. Jacobson recorded of this meeting: "He reaffirmed, very strongly, the promises he had made to Dr. Weizmann and to me; and he gave me permission to tell Dr. Weizmann so, which I did. It was at this meeting that I also discussed with the President the vital matter of recognizing the new state, and to this he agreed with a whole heart."

Again his Jewish �friend� slips in and pressures him into promising to carry through with the verbal promise he made with Weizmann. Do you have friends who treat you like that at your job?

May 13, 1948: Chaim Weizmann writes to President Truman: "I deeply hope that the United States, which under your leadership has done so much to find a just solution [to the Palestine situation], will promptly recognize the Provisional Government of the new Jewish state. The world, I think, would regard it as especially appropriate that the greatest living democracy should be the first to welcome the newest into the family of nations."

One day before Israel announces its independence, Weizmann again contacts Truman for one final bit of praise, followed by a suggestion of what Truman should do. He then finishes by implying Truman will be considered a great man for recognizing Israel.

The Truman diaries show that Jews contacted Truman time after time after time. They also sent tens of thousands of letters. They would push and push and push until they got what they wanted. If Truman refused to meet with the Jews, his �friend� would show up unannounced. If Truman made a verbal promise to the Jews, the Jews would come back and make sure that he really intended to keep it.

Keep in mind that Truman was probably only one government official that the Jews were working on. For all we know, 90% of America's government officials were being pressured by Jews, and for a variety of selfish polices, not just for Israel.

The Truman Library has a photograph of the �document� that Truman signed that gave recognition to Israel. The photograph shows two creases in the paper, suggesting that it had been placed in an envelope, perhaps for mailing. Did Truman do that? Or did the people who archive documents do it?

I would not be surprised if Weizmann typed the document and mailed it to Truman. Then Truman held onto it until he was told to sign it. When the orders came in from Weizmann, Truman made a couple of handwritten corrections to the document, stamped it, and signed it. Take a look:
http://www.trumanlibrary.org/photos/israel.jpg

Even if Truman typed it himself, is this your idea of a proper government?

America ignores the Palestinians

Truman was pressured into recognizing Israel, but the Americans never did anything about the Palestinians. It never occurred to the Americans that they cannot simply ignore all those Palestinians, many of whom were very angry. Or, perhaps Truman wanted to do something for the Palestinians but every time he made such a suggestion his Jewish �friend� would appear and talk him out of it.

If America consisted of intelligent, educated people, they would have discussed the issue of what to do with the Palestinians. But the decision to recognize Israel did not come from the American people, nor did it come from Truman. Rather, that decision came from the Jews. The American people were just pawns in their plans to create Israel. America was not Israel's friend; rather, America was just another nation to exploit.

Most Americans did not understand what was going on in Palestine. The end result is that after the British tried for decades to protect the Palestinians, the Americans came in 1948 to help the Zionists create Israel and assist them in their killings of Palestinians.

Americans alter their language in 1948

There was no official announcement of the change, but sometime around 1948 the American government and media changed the way it used a few words, such as �terrorist�. For a few examples, the Palestinians became �terrorists�, and the Zionists became Israeli �settlers�. The Palestinians wanted �war�; the Israelis wanted �peace�. The Palestinians became �murderers�, the Israelis became �defenders� of their land.

Who brought about these changes in the use of these words? Did the American Congress or the American people hold meetings and seriously discuss which of these groups of people should be labeled as �terrorists�? Of course not. This is just another example of how the Jews manipulate the media.

Israel expands in the war of 1948
The Zionists movement appeared to be a group of peaceful Jews looking for a home, but when independence was declared in 1948, they somehow had a lot of weapons to fight the Arab nations. Where did their weapons come from? Did America have a secret weapons smuggling program in operation?

And why did Israel shoot down five British air force planes in January of 1949? Why were the Israelis once again attacking their friends? Did the Zionists use American weapons to shoot down those planes?

Two important results of the war are that a lot of the Arabs were chased out of Palestine (and killed), and the Jews grabbed more land from the Arabs.

Britain finally recognizes Israel

Once America recognized Israel as a nation, other nations slowly followed within days, weeks, or months. Britain was the exception.

On April 27, 1950 Britain finally gives in to the pressure and recognized Israel as a nation. Why did Britain refuse to recognize Israel for almost two years? Do you recall that Truman needed only 11 minutes?

I suspect that the British refused to recognize Israel because the Brits knew what was going on in Palestine. They had been victims of manipulation by the Jews for decades, and they had been victims of Zionist terrorism. The British experienced the treachery, murder, and lies. When the Brits looked at Israel, they did not see a group of friends who deserved help; rather, they saw a group of selfish terrorists who turn on and manipulate their friends if they are not given what they want.

I suppose that the nations most willing to recognize Israel were the ones who had the least understanding of how Israel became established and what the Zionist movement was.

Jews exploit America for money and weapons

Whenever fights would break out, the Jews within America would fill the news reports with emotional stories of murderous Palestinian terrorists and innocent Israeli settlers. The ignorant American people never questioned those reports. Rather, they pitied the Jews.

The Jews pressured the American government into providing Israel with money and weapons. Through the years they would increase the amount of money they wanted, and today they are getting several billion dollars each year.

It was not the American people who made the decision to pour billions of dollars each year into Israel. This decision came from the Jews who manipulate American government officials.

America purchases peace with the Arabs

Eventually America began giving billions of dollars each year to Egypt and a few other Arab nations in an attempt to convince them to accept Israel. The end result is that we are spending an incredible amount of money each year in an attempt to keep Israel alive.
