When Truth Becomes “Anti-Semitic”: What World Famous People Say About Jews and Zionism

In a recent screed of January 10, 2009 (The ‘Oldest Hatred’ Lives, from Gaza to Florida http://www.ocregister.com/articles/hamas-gaza-jewish-2277487-muslims-state ) outlining a list of relatively minor examples of anti-Jewish sentiment resulting from Israel’s current butchery of the defenseless Palestinians of Gaza, Canadian journalist Mark Steyn, one of Zionism’s key literary brokers for North America’s Jewish-owned media cartel, attempts to lay the blame for the growing public outrage on the doorstep of Palestine’s democratically elected government Hamas along with other Islamic extremists, Muslims and anyone, anywhere expressing “anti-Zionist” sentiments.

After listing off his abbreviated litany of “anti-Semitic” attacks upon various Jewish individuals and groups he writes, “Forget, for the moment, Gaza. Forget that the Palestinian people are the most comprehensively wrecked people on the face of the earth. For the past sixty years they have been entrusted to the care of the United Nations, the Arab League, the PLO, Hamas and the “global community” — and the results are pretty much what you’d expect” all the while conveniently leaving out of his deceptively narrative description the blatant historic fact that it was the newly-formed Israeli government itself who, via mendacity and sheer ill-will and bloody terror, drove the legal inhabitants of Palestine out of their homes and villages and into that hideous concentration camp we now know as Gaza.

This simplistic and transparent ploy by Steyn to high jack the legitimate concerns of people around the world via jingoist sophistry and twisted argument in favour of the worn canard of “anti-Semitism” falls flat in the face of an abundance of gross images of mutilated, dead and dying Palestinian children, women and elderly, yet this doesn’t deter him in his vainglorious denial of the truth from continuing to ride his blood-steyned steed further into the fray of unabashed Zionist media propaganda, thrashing about with his sword of lies and brandishing his bullet-ridden “anti-Semite” banner – one flapping madly about in the righteous winds of vehement feelings of horror expressed by decent people around the planet incensed and ashamed that such despicable acts of cruel and wanton bloodshed could still be committed against the human family at the beginning of the 21 Century.

But let’s, as Steyn says, “forget Gaza” “and instead ponder the reaction to Gaza in Scandinavia, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and golly, even Florida. As the delegitimization of Israel has metastasized, we are assured that criticism of the Jewish state is not the same as anti-Semitism. We are further assured that anti-Zionism is not the same as anti-Semitism, which is a wee bit more of a stretch. Only Israel attracts an intellectually respectable movement querying its very existence.”

In a token of submission to the Zionist god of cunning and perfidy Steyn tries comparing Israel with the state of Pakistan as part of recent political machinations and Mossad false flag operations by the Zionist-controlled US government to vilify Pakistan before eventually attacking it as yet another rogue, “terrorist” state. Of Pakistan, and with obvious intent to deflect attention from Israel, Steyn sardonically states, “I happen to think the creation of Pakistan was the greatest failure of post-war British imperial policy.”

Steyn’s culminating and rather crass attempt to convince his western readers that all who reject Zionism are in fact Jew-hating bigots, hypocrites and “anti-Semites” is eventually steeped in a feeble flourish of anti-Muslim artistry, punctuated with an excerpt from the Syrian poet, Nizar Qabbani, suggesting that the people of Gaza are all “mad”. And why are they mad? Why because, as Steyn so lucidly tells us, they exhibit “the enthusiastic adoption of the same pathologies” that mainstream Europe is now expressing in their “anti-Semitic” attacks but of course the Palestinians are even “more deranged — and in the end” their resistance to the phosphorus bombs and DU bullets of Israeli justice “will prove just as self-destructive.”

Such is the ethereal substance of the Zionist media’s #1 propaganda broker Mark Steyn. If you don’t approve of the butcher’s banquet that Israel and its pro-Zionist supporters around the world are feasting upon then by definition you are “anti-Semitic” and a Jew-hater.

Which brings me now to the list of world famous people, who by Steyn’s and Zionism’s definition, fit the description of “anti-Semite”. It was one of these people listed, H.H. Beamish who, in a New York address in October 1937 made the following observation:

“In 1848 the word “anti-Semitic” was invented by the Jews to prevent the use of the word “Jew.” The right word for them is “Jew” …”

Like gemstones and special treats of food I would guess that almost everybody loves reading quotes. The ones that follow are the most comprehensive list related to the issue of “anti-Semitism” that I am aware of. They are offered here to the internet community as one small token of respect for the inhumane suffering of the Palestinian people of all of Palestine and the Arab world in general. They are also dedicated to those brave truth-seeking men and women who now languish in German prisons because they had the fortitude, the fore-knowledge and the courage to question the Zionist Lie. God bless and keep them all safe from any further harm.

If readers of these quotes feel they are being wrongly accused by the likes of Mark Steyn and the Zionist warlords I am certain that by the time they complete reading them they will not feel alone in their gut reaction to what is going on in Gaza today.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE WAY IT WORKS

By Betty Krawczyk

betty_krawczyk@shaw.ca

There is an old adage that says one gets what one pays for. But not in British Columbia. Taxpayers here pay a lot for a justice system that like a cow, gives steady streams of the sweet milk of justice to posh people (Gordon Campbell’s friends of privatization) but decreasing dribbles to poor people (and that includes just about everyone else in Vancouver (except old money) who are trying to survive the drug trade ratcheted up rents and mortgages and eat at the same time) while forcing the people to bring in the hay and of course, clean out the barn to boot. A In fact, if I remember clearly even the law society of BC was aggravated with Wally Oppal for his part in the trashing of legal services and wrote a letter of non-confidence in him.

Gordon Campbell’s privatizing policies are working through the system and showing up in the courtroom What does a citizen do if s/he can’t afford high priced lawyers and can’t get legal aid? Forget the whole thing or do it yourself. Which is what I’m doing. Doing it myself. While I have a great lawyer for my appeal, one who is helping me pro bono, I’m also trying to sue Kevin Falcon, The Minister of Transportation, and Peter Kiewit Sons. Co., the West Vancouver Police and the City of West Vancouver for Collusion and Malfeasance in civil court and as I have no money to speak of I have to do this myself. And I would like to take as many citizens as possible with me through the process.

It’s important. Not only are the issues I raise important in the sense that they concern everyone, the process itself is important. We as citizens must try to understand the legal process in British Columbia or else remain helpless before it. Either we make it work for us, or it will continue to work for them, the posh agencies of government and corporations that puzzle and stifle us with legalize language and processes that not only hide their ideologies but their actions. I’m for making it work for us.

So I want to take those interested with me step by step as I negotiate the legal process of trying to sue the agencies of government and corporations that destroyed the eco integrity of Eagleridge Bluffs and caused the untimely death of Harriet Nahanee. In my next missile I will tackle my first step in filing a law suit and applying for a jury trial and I will post these on my blog:

In a news release of June 12, 2007, Monika Sheardown wrote of Betty Krawczyk and her case. Environmental protester with many others, Krawczyk defied Supreme Court judge Brenda Brown who was, incidentally, using a highly dubious, almost “made in B.C.” criminal contempt charge to shut up protesters exposing the Private Corporate/Campbell government/Vancouver Olympic Committee rape of the Province on behalf of wealthy interests - called “the 2010 Olympics”. Justice Brown sent Krawczyk, a 78 year old woman (clearly a huge threat to the peace and security of Canadians), to ten months in prison.

Brown also sentenced ailing and aged Harriett Nahanee (against strong advice) to days in a prison “hell hole” which - in fact - Nahanee did not live out. Justice. The Complaint against Brown in that last matter, made to the Canadian Judicial Council from a body of ordinary Canadians has been treated, I suggest, with contempt from the Canadian Judicial Council.

Very clearly the more than 40 people who lodged the Complaint with the Canadian Judicial Council were complaining of the conduct of Madam Justice Brenda Brown. They wrote: “Our complaint concerns the treatment by Madam Justice Brenda Brown of a Native protester, Harriet Nahanee-Tseboilt (hereafter named Harriett Nahanee) whom Madam Justice Brenda Brown caused to be incarcerated in a detention place known to be unsuitable after being directly informed of the Native woman’s age and perilous ill-health. After some days imprisonment in what was described in court to Madam Justice Brown as a “hell hole”, Harriett Nahanee had to be rushed to hospital with life-threatening illness from which she died”.

In fact, Justice Brown sentenced Harriett Nahanee to an apparently nasty jail. She was informed of Nahanee’s perilous condition and asked to conduct herself differently - to retain the sentence, the decision that Nahanee was in Contempt of Court if she wished, but to have her live out that sentence in a form and in a place from which she might come out alive. Brown was asked to conduct herself differently than she did in the matter.

The reply from Norman Sabourin on behalf of the CJC reported that we were not complaining of the conduct of Justice Brown. But (stupid, ordinary people that we are), we were, according to Associate Chief Justice Robert Pidgeon of the Superior Court of Quebec, complaining about the sentence, the decision of Justice Brown. And so… And so, of course, the Canadian Judicial Council couldn’t possibly look at our Complaint. Smoke and mirrors. Hide and seek. Prestidigitation. At no place in his letter, by the way, did Norman Sabourin acknowledge the Complaint came from a large number of people. He addressed me and MY Complaint.

I wrote back a stern letter, requesting that another judge review the matter and that it be reopened as a Complaint against the conduct of Madam Justice Brenda Brown, as it was intended. I made clear I thought the matter had been wrongly dealt with.

Politics in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Secrecy. Bias, Protection of Wrong-Doers.

By Robin Mathews

Madam Justice Elizabeth Bennett presides, and hearings resume, after recess, on June 4. They are the hearings in the Supreme Court of B.C. on the way (?) to the criminal trial of Dave Basi, Bob Virk, and Aneal Basi. The men are accused of various (fraud and breach of trust) charges related to the dirty sale by the Gordon Campbell government of B.C. Rail four years ago.

The sale was publicly attacked by the CPR as being the result of a compromised bidding process. CPR withdrew from the bidding, dissatisfied, alleging the Campbell government made a “clear breach” of fairness and had given CN an unfair advantage in the bidding. To fake a real competition, moreover, government representatives are alleged to have promised benefits to the U.S. company Omnitrax to pretend to stay in the race, and…and…. In fact, the sale of B.C. Rail is very probably illegitimate.

On June 4, 2007, the hearings resume as Madam Justice Bennett rules on requests Defence has made for further disclosure of evidence so far denied. Evidence, it seems, has been denied or delayed by the Special Crown Prosecutor and his Crown team because of apparent oversight, apparent neglect, apparent disorganization, absent-mindedness, RCMP obstruction, apparent forgetfulness, cabinet obtuseness, RCMP inefficiency, computer failure, claims of irrelevance, and…and…and….

Justice Bennett has presided over months and months of delay and obstruction which now are shouting from every nook and cranny of Courtroom 54 in the B.C. Supreme Court building. The question which is forced upon the serious observer is this: is Justice Bennett a part of the forces wanting to “de-rail” (pun intended) the proceedings against Basi, Basi, and Virk?

Stand Up for Harriet Nahanee!

People across the province were shocked by the 14 day jail sentence handed down to 71 year old native Elder Harriet Nahanee in January, 2007 for peacefully protesting while inside an injunction zone at Eagleridge Bluffs. Harriet served 9 days in prison at a maximum security pre-trial facility. She had filed an appeal, but became gravely ill and died shortly after being released from prison.

A petition that raises specific concerns surrounding Harriet Nahanee s sentencing is in circulation. It demands that our elected officials call an immediate public inquiry into the handling of this case. The petition is now available online.

Please honour a very courageous native elder by reading the petition, signing it and passing the link on to others on your contact lists. The Supreme Court of BC must be held accountable for their actions in this case. It is the duty of our elected officials to ensure that a full and public inquiry is held.

FREE BETTY shirts available now available! All proceeds to Betty’s court appeal.

[Editor’s Note: The following letter by Robin Mathews to the Chief Justice of the B.C. Supreme Court is a courageous and finely worded challenge to the person in charge of justice for all British Columbians. It’s essential that the questions which Mr. Mathews asks of the Chief Justice are forwarded to as many citizens as possible throughout this province to insure that the courts are made aware of the extent of the general dissatisfaction with the questionable processes and decisions that Mr. Mathews alludes to in his letter. Please pass this letter on to as many of your associates as you possibly can. For the sake of those still living in prison under false charges i.e. Betty Krawczyk and for justice concerning the unnecessary death of Harriet Nahanee consider this request of an urgent nature. Thank you. Arthur Topham, Editor and Publisher, The Radical Press]

My Lord:

Law Officer of the Supreme Court of British Columbia H.L. McBride, replying (March 30) to a letter of mine to Madam Justice Elizabeth Bennett concerning “public access to documents filed” in the Basi, Basi, and Virk matter, repeated the objectionable terms of the general restriction of documents from public examination imposed by Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm - obviously imposed with the approval or consent of judges involved and with your support. That so-called “Practice Direction” has been explained as a device employed to insure the protection of the accused. In my own experience the substance of such documents does not bear negatively upon the accused; rather the denial of those public documents to the public appears to protect those who may be corrupt members of the present and past Gordon Campbell government and other highly placed people possessing political power in the province.

With respect, I submit to you that the so-called “Practice Direction” - which is in fact an illegitimate universal gag order - is intolerable and is a violation of the freedoms of Canadians to know. I believe an address to the Supreme Court of Canada would see the so-called “Practice Direction” struck down as illegitimate. I believe a process by writ of mandamus might have the same effect. With respect, I believe that any fair-minded person concerned with justice and the freedoms of Canadians would see the present so-called “Practice Direction” as an intolerable, dictatorial, and repressive invasion of the freedoms and the tranquility of Canadians. If you do not see it as that, would you explain to me why you do not?

Editor,
RadicalPress:

Editor,

Legal critics of Betty Krawczyk for defending the ecosystem above Eagleridge Bluff tell us anarchy results when the public disobeys the rule of law. But the law and justice must coordinate.

In the Krawczyk case, and the preceding case against First Nation leader Harriet Nahanee, their rights to argue the environmental and land entitlement issues were subverted by Judge Brenda Brown deciding to consider only the “contempt of court” issue.

In a previous court case with which I was connected, the public protest against the building of a parking lot in Cathedral Grove, Justice Georgina Quijano ruled there are sufficient laws to allow the police to remove protesters without the “contempt” injunction. She refused to allow her court to be used to protect the rights of corporations and developers against the
rights of individuals. That’s justice.

When British Properties (BPP) and development corporations are protected by a court system that subverts the rights of citizens, “contempt” is too mild a word to express my views of same. We approach anarchy as courts use laws to prevent justice.

To the Councillors:

The undersigned Canadians are using this letter to you to file a formal complaint with the Canadian Judicial Council about the actions of Madam Justice Brenda Brown of the British Columbia Supreme Court. We wish to see clear evidence of investigation. And we wish to receive a formal report from The Canadian Judicial Council of its findings and the actions which you will take.

Our complaint concerns the treatment by Madam Justice Brenda Brown of a Native protester, Harriett Nahanee -Tseboilt (hereafter named Harriett Nahanee) whom Madam Justice Brenda Brown caused to be incarcerated in a detention place known to be unsuitable after being directly informed of the Native woman’s age and perilous ill-health. After some days imprisonment in what was described in court to Madam Justice Brown as a “hell hole”, Harriet Nahanee had to be rushed to hospital with life-threatening illness from which she died.

She was first arrested on May 25, we believe, “along with 20 others who “refused to comply with” an enforcement order concerning resistance by members of the public to forest clearing and road-making in West Vancouver in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Harriett Nahanee died in St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver on February 25, 2007.

It is not our place to say that Madam Justice Brenda Brown was an accessory in the induced death of Harriett Nahanee. That will be for the Canadian Judicial Council to say. We do believe strongly, however, that - at the very least - Madam Justice Brenda Brown should be removed from the bench.

We expect (1) that the Canadian Judicial Council will interview Betty Krawczyk (presently incarcerated) who actively informed Madam Justice Brenda Brown of the condition of Harriett Nahanee. We expect (2) that the Canadian Judicial Council will ask from Madam Justice Brenda Brown a full report of her role in the death of Harriett Nahanee, and will make that report public. We expect (3) that the Canadian Judicial Council will investigate the degree (if any) to which Madam Justice Brenda Brown consulted and was guided by the agreement to hold the 2010 Olympics signed by three governments: the Canadian, the British Columbian, and the City of Vancouver.

That document sets out environmental terms that may very well have been seriously violated by the West Vancouver (Eagleridge) road-building which is the reason for the events presented in this letter. Apart from the question of her fairness, balance, and impartiality in relation to an old, sick woman who died unnecessarily while held in the power of the court, how much did Madam Justice Brenda Brown refer to the substance of the Olympic agreement? Did she consider the large implications of and the reasons for a concerted and serious public resistance to the road-building? Or did she consider (in narrow service to the B.C. government and the U.S. road-building corporation) only the paper upon which the original court order was printed as she set it out.

We have presented here the substance of our formal complaint, and we will be happy to answer questions from the Canadian Judicial Council. We respectfully request prompt and expeditious consideration of our complaint.

Yours respectfully:
