THE UNTOUCHABLE STATUS OF JEWRY

SENT TO THE SUN AND THE STAR

Jews have been the victims of centuries-old persecution by peoples imagining themselves Christian but who were the exact opposite of what the 'Son of Man' taught. Priests and some Popes over the centuries encouraged this victimization, and if the Son of Man had been alive during these events, it is hard to see how such priests and Popes (and those untold millions following their wicked preachings) would not have been labelled 'hypocrites', murderers, and 'sons of the devil' by that Son. This persecution of Jewry reached its zenith under Nazism.

It is important however to place this persecution in perspective. Jews have now acquired a seemingly 'untouchable' status as no one in our Western establishment seems willing to tolerate any criticism of Jewish behavior. The 'holocaust' is one such untouchable subject and anyone who does not join in the lament is denounced as an 'holocaust-denier'.

But the Jewish holocaust is far from the only one – it is not even the most horrendous one. History contains far worse holocausts and genocides which are effectively being 'denied' by the mainstream Western establishment in their zeal to prove their loyalty to Jewish memory.

During the Second World War in which some six million Jews were killed by Nazis, some 27 million Soviets perished as well, bearing the brunt of the terrible Nazi war-machine, while the Western Allies watched and waited, before launching D-Day to finish off the mortally wounded Nazi behemoth.

Going back further, even greater holocausts took place in North and South America. According to the Oscar-winning film 'Barbarian Invasions' (directed by Canada's Denys Arcand) some 50 million natives were murdered in North America and three times as many in South America. In the latter case this mind-boggling genocide took place without modern 'weapons of mass destruction', and with the complicity of the Roman Catholic Church. (More reliable sources such as the writings of Ronald Wright attribute most of the latter genocide to diseases (smallpox, flu, measles, etc.) brought to Latin America by the Europeans.... a kind of unwitting biological warfare.)

In the recent news flaps involving the Wiesenthal Center's denunciation of the current Pope for reinstating an alleged holocaust-denying priest, and others involving denunciations of dissident columnists who have compared Israel's actions in Gaza and others prior to it to those of the Nazis, we need to remember that the Jews have not been the only victims of human cruelty and insanity. They have not even been the worst victims.

And in any event, what was done to Jews by the Nazis does not justify their theft of Palestinian land and the use of American-supported force to deny the 'legitimate rights of the Palestinian people', who none of the 'right people' in the Western establishment seem to care about.

Israel's treatment of the Palestinians who they evicted from their homeland is an obscenity, and that central fact should not be forgotten in the Jewish lobbying and denunciations of anyone who dares criticize Israeli actions in the Middle East. If 'Yahweh' promised the Jews some miles of burning desert, He conned them, for those few miles are not the 'promised land'. And they have violated all His commandments in their armed robbery and occupation of the 'Holy Land'.
