Can Israel’s “Anti-Zionist Fringe” Save the Jews?

Transcript

I recently raised the question: “Do 90% of Israeli Jews support genocide?” I said “yes.” Richie Allen said “no.” The comments section is full of other opinions.

Coincidentally, right before last week’s interview with Richie, RT published a piece on Israel’s anti-Zionist Jews: “‘I don’t want to be a pawn in this sick game’: Israel’s anti-Zionist fringe is taking a stand.” I brought it up in this week’s False Flag Weekly News:

Yes, there are actually some anti-genocide and even anti-Zionist Jews in occupied Palestine, aka Israel. But there aren't very many. It's less than 2%, probably even less than that, especially the vocal ones. But at least there are some, and RT's correspondent managed to track a couple down.

One of them, 25-year-old Tomer Avrahami, is quoted as saying: “Thanks to media research and tours in historic Palestine, I came to the conclusion that I had no willingness to take part in the ongoing Nakba of the Palestinian people,” meaning the Palestinian Holocaust. And they mentioned another one named Tal Mitnick, who keeps getting sentenced to prison because he refuses to serve.

The majority of the people who refuse to serve in the armed forces in Israel are doing it for other reasons. But a minority of maybe 10%-ish (of the refuseniks) are doing it because they are against genocide.

So there are some, and God bless them.

According to the Torah, if there were even ten righteous men in Sodom, the city would be saved. Are there ten righteous Jews in Israel? Very likely. Naturei Karta, the anti-Zionist Orthodox (Haredi) group, is based in Jerusalem. And since RT reports that 30% of Israeli Jewish young people are draft evaders, 10% of whom are anti-Zionist, we may surmise that Tomer Avrahami and Tal Mitnick represent hundreds or even thousands.

But the righteous anti-Zionist Jews of Israel are such a small minority, amidst a general population of genocidal lunatics, that God and man both have good reason to be getting fed up with the place. Even America’s pro-Zionist Jews are worried—not only about the future of Israel, but also about its implications for Jews in general.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a hardcore Zionist and the USG’s highest-ranking Jew, sees the writing on the wall and is demanding Netanyahu’s head on a platter. The BBC reported Wednesday that “US Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer has called for Israel to hold elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.” Bibi fired back: “We’re not a banana republic.”

Actually, Bibi, Israel is even more dependent on the US than your average banana republic. Most banana republics would continue to exist if the US wasn’t propping up their governments, economies, and militaries. Israel wouldn’t. It’s surrounded by over a billion people who don’t want it there. The US cutting off support to Israel would have the same consequences as France cutting off support to French Algeria in 1962.

Another well-placed and rabidly Zionist ultra-ethnocentric Jew, Thomas Friedman, says “Netanyahu is making Israel radioactive.” Presumably he means that figuratively. He knows that Israel and world Jewry have benefited for 75 years from the presumption that they are quintessential genocide victims, and that their sudden transformation into universally-reviled genocide perpetrators bodes poorly for their worldly prospects.

But Friedman may have chosen the radioactive metaphor because he knows that Bibi is leading Israel down a path that could end in smoking radioactive rubble. It’s quite likely that there has been far more nuclear proliferation than meets the eye, and Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, with its unlimited potential for regional and global escalation, could easily lead to a tragic, horrendous nuclear solution to the Zionism problem.

Even absent the use of nukes, a regional escalation that unleashed the full might of Hezbollah’s arsenal, much less Iran’s, Turkey’s or Russia’s, could largely destroy Israel, according to an Israeli military study. That’s one reason why Netanyahu’s incessant attempts to provoke all-out war with Hezbollah have been shot down by the US as well as elements of the IDF.

Schumer and Friedman are trumpeting an Anglo-American consensus that’s engineering a long-overdue Israeli regime change, according to Thierry Meyssan of VoltaireNet:

(After repeated provocations by Bibi’s “Jewish fascists”) Washington decided to radically change its policy. Until then, it had considered that it could not afford to let Israel lose. It had therefore supported its crime. Now, it could no longer afford to let the Jewish fascists win. It’s important to understand that Washington didn’t change its mind when it saw the suffering of the Gazans, nor because of a sudden outburst of anti-fascism, but because of the threats of the "revisionist Zionists." Its positions are dictated exclusively by its desire to maintain its domination of the world. It could not contemplate another defeat for its Israeli allies, this time after those in Syria and Ukraine. But it could even less envisage losing to the "revisionist Zionists".

The Biden Administration therefore invited General Benny Gantz, the former alternative Prime Minister and since October 12 Minister without Portfolio, to consult in the United States, despite the opposition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s a kind of backlash to the way the latter was invited to deliver a speech before Congress against the advice of President Barack Obama, in 2015.

Can the US force new elections on Israel and enthrone Gantz? Will Netanyahu respond by attempting to “flee forward” into a wider war? And most importantly, even if the US manages to regime-change Israel, will it solve the underlying problem? (The expression “underlying problem” is an understatement, since what it describes is seven million Jewish colonists, 98% of whom are pro-genocide and millions of whom are raving fanatics, squatting on stolen land in the midst of a billion people who are determined to get it back.)

When Netanyahu steps down, Israel will be symbolically admitting defeat. The writing is already on the wall. Last week Israeli Major General (ret.) Yizkhak Barik announced: “We have already lost the war with Hamas, and we are also losing our allies in the world…If a regional war breaks out that destroys the country, there is no doubt that in the history of the people of Israel, they (Netanyahu and his cabinet) will be remembered forever.”

Any new Biden-installed Israeli government would have to concede defeat by, at the very least, massively scaling down its assault on Gaza. The Americans will try to push through a peace plan that would sideline Hamas while resuscitating the long-moribund two-state solution along the lines endorsed by Saudi Arabia, creating a “state of Palestine based on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.” Rousing success could ensure Biden’s re-election.

But success of any kind is far from assured. Every US president since Carter has tried to become the “brought-lasting-peace-to-the-Middle East” president and all have failed. The reason: Zionism’s stranglehold on American politics, finance, and media.

Can Biden force Israel to evacuate 700,000 settlers? To do so, he would have to prevail over the will of the Israeli majority (backed by the hardline American Zionists who haven’t figured out, as Chuck Schumer and Thomas Friedman have, that Israel’s current course is suicidal).

With or without Netanyahu, Israel is highly unlikely to withdraw from the territories it stole in 1967. To make that happen, Biden would have to threaten to block US aid. Such an unprecedented move would unleash a torrent of Zionist hysteria—and funding for Biden’s 2024 opponent, Donald Trump, who is on record supporting everything Israel does including genocide.

So Biden needs to engineer a PR spectacle in which Israel pretends to re-commit to the Oslo peace process, but without doing much of anything tangible. And the Palestinians would have to accept more vague, empty promises.

Good luck with that. Remember, this will be playing out against a backdrop of a perceived Palestinian Resistance victory—and amidst residual fury, which may not dissipate for decades or even centuries, over the Gaza genocide. The notion that Palestinians will settle for the same old two-state-solution schtick that has been defrauding them since the mid-1990s, after Hamas, Hezbollah, and AnsarUllah just collectively whipped Israel’s butt—and in the wake of a genocide whose punishment really ought to be the elimination of Israel and imprisonment of 98% of its Jewish population—is a non-starter.

Following Israeli regime change and “official defeat,” the Resistance will be emboldened by its victory, strengthened by the soft power bonanza handed it by the genocidal Zionists, and in no mood to accept half-measures. An immediate and complete Israeli pullout from the post-1967 occupied territories, and the quick establishment of a universally-recognized Palestine, might suffice. Anything less would convince the Resistance to stick with its prevailing assumption that Zionism can only be defeated militarily.

And Zionism will be defeated militarily, if it comes to that. Gen. Barik’s forecast of a “regional war…that destroys the country” is apt.

Why are Netanyahu and his cabinet risking destruction, while American Zionists like Schumer and Friedman demur? One would think it would be the other way around: The Israelis, after all, are the ones in the line of fire.

One reason is that the Israelis are steeped in millenarian messianic myth, while the Americans think in terms of global geopolitics. Netanyahu’s cabinet is full of crazies who think they can force the Messiah to come save them if they just kill enough Palestinians, blow up the al-Aqsa mosque, and find a heifer whose hide is the perfect shade of pink.

Not all Israelis are that crazy, but they’re getting there. Likud and the Revisionist Zionists used to be marginal. Now those genocidal maniacs represent the middle ground of Israeli politics, with even loonier genocidal maniacs occupying the right flank.

Ultimately, the roadblock in the path to peace in Palestine is Israeli public opinion. The vast majority of Israeli Jews just can’t conceive of treating the Palestinians as equals. Israel’s hardcore Jewish supremacism, horrifyingly exposed by the Gaza genocide, threatens to undermine the milder Jewish supremacism in America that has made life so comfortable for the likes of Chuck Schumer and Thomas Friedman.

So to “save the Jews,” Israeli Jews need to not only repudiate genocide, but also Zionism itself. Only the transformation of genocidal, supremacist “Israel” into a normal country for all of its rightful inhabitants, including the descendants of those ethnically cleansed by the genocidal supremacists, will bring peace and prevent the world from turning against the Jews.

Somehow the anti-Zionist Israeli Jews need to stop being a fringe and start being a majority. Since Israel is the world’s leading manufacturer of the “love and compassion drug” ecstasy (which was presumably widely used at the Re’im Music Festival) maybe Tomer Avrahami and Tal Mitnick will find a way to sneak it into their country’s water supply.

Failing that, or something equally improbable, Israel is going down the hard way, and the Jews with it.

Let’s find a way to stand up for Gaza so that the starving Gazans will be able to eat some normal food and break their fast in Ramadan. Here here are the Palestinians in Gaza praying the Ramadan prayers at the destroyed Al-Faruq Mosque. They bombed the mosque, but they couldn't stop the prayers.

And then here are the kinds of fast-breaking events that go on in Gaza. They're in their home. That used to be their home until the Zionists blew it up.

I think that picture shows exactly in a nutshell what the Zio-Nazis have been doing. And it ranks with the Vietnamese policeman shooting the citizen in the head, or the burning Vietnamese girl blazing from American napalm.

There have been a whole bunch of pictures like that and video too. We didn't need the AP award-winning photographers to get a handful of atrocity pictures like they did back in the Vietnam days. Right now, it's just beyond what even any one person could ever possibly take in, much less stomach. But yeah, it is a great picture.

Okay, let's get into the stories this week. Free speech is our first theme and the TikTok ban is the top story. So why is the TikTok ban dangerous? Matt Taibbi points out that it allows the president, meaning whoever is pulling the strings, because our zombie president probably isn't, to basically censor any internet company simply by claiming, “oh, it has like 20% foreign ownership.” It's another power grab by the government.

And naturally, yes, it has a whole lot to do with Israel. I don't think it would be happening if it wasn't for the fact that TikTok is full of people spreading pictures like these (of suffering in Gaza).

So what do you think, Mike? Is this TikTok ban just a presidential administration power grab or is it a Zionist power grab?

I'm inclined to think the Zionists have their dirty little fingers in it because I was sent a TikTok video by an African journalist

And it was a New Jersey Jew ranting at his synagogue for daring to sell Palestinian land through the synagogue to Jews and only Jews.

So I think that one or two more of those things would get the Zionists going in occupied Palestine and here in occupied America.

SPEAKER 1

And we'll get to that story that you wrote up on your Substack this week about the Zio Beast selling off stolen real estate at synagogues, leading to now everybody, not just Henry Erskiewicz, who's been protesting at a synagogue in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for I think a decade or two.

I forget how many decades.

But now a lot more people are having good reasons to go to synagogues and protest them.

Boy, I would think Jewish people would want to stop this genocide before it gets out of hand.

Anyway, TikTok ban stories.

We had some tweets about that.

The TikTok ban has support from major Jewish groups.

You're right, Mike.

There's tons of... TikTok is almost like 99 plus percent pro-Palestine because they don't have censorship and algorithms and shadow banning the way that the

Jewish Zionist owned media does here in the West.

So that's why it has to be banned.

So America could be occupied by another hostile foreign power rather than China, I guess.

And here's another tweet about it.

There was a huge lopsided vote.

Most of the Republicans actually joined the Democrats in voting on the so-called TikTok ban, which again is not just a TikTok ban, this gives the US administration the right to massively censor social media.

And here's the Donald Trump angle.

The same time that they're trying to ban TikTok, Trump is talking about making Jeff Yass, the hedge fund billionaire who has $15 billion stake in TikTok, his next treasury secretary.

So I guess that means Trump's against the ban, which I guess is a good point for Trump.

He needs more good points, though, before I would ever even consider thinking that winning the presidency would be a good thing.

SPEAKER 4

But you've got to remember, Jeff Yass is another Jew, and we've had Jews running the Treasury Department for far too long, especially in the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER 1

You think Jeff Yass is a Jew?

Really?

Oh, yeah.

I looked him up.

I didn't know Yass was a Jewish name.

I mean, I could say certain neighborhoods, they'll say, get your Jewish ass out of here.

But they don't just say, get Yass out of here, and then they assume it's Jewish.

Anyway, okay.

So, yeah, you're right.

So it is part of the same struggle, it looks like.

I mean, it's one way or another, they are going to own the media and use it to streamline their atrocities.

So let's talk about some of the atrocities.

How about this one?

Every time the Zionists make some claim, you know it's going to fall through, and yet the people are going to be left with the impression that the Zionists wanted them to get when they made the outrageous lie claim in the first place.

We saw it with the 40 beheaded babies, and we saw it with the rapes, and now we see it with the

UNRWA Hamas links, it turns out that they got those confessions by torturing those people.

Were you surprised, Mike?

SPEAKER 4

Not in the least.

Remember Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's minister of propaganda?

He says if you tell a big lie often enough, people accept it as the truth.

Or as the old phrase, I guess it's Russian, goes, once you tell a lie, you can't cut it out with an ax.

SPEAKER 1

Right.

So while they're being beaten and waterboarded and told that their family members are going to be treated likewise, if not killed, and all you have to do to make this stop is to say that you're with Hamas.

Well, no wonder some of those people said they were with Hamas.

So given that the UNRWA, I forget how many thousands of employees they have,

If there were a couple of them who were with Hamas, just like there are probably a couple of them who were with Mossad, it wouldn't surprise me.

And it certainly wouldn't be a reason to say anything bad about UNRWA.

But of course, the Zionists, they don't care about reality.

They're off in their own world.

Here's another atrocity story.

They hit a United Nations food distribution center by the Egyptian border, even though the coordinates had been shared.

And they said, well, there was some Hamas commander around there.

Is there an excuse?

Whether or not there was is another story.

But this is just one of the latest of the flower massacres.

We heard about the one flower massacre.

Now there have been so many you can't even keep track.

starving Palestinians line up at a food truck to get food and then the Zionists massacre them.

SPEAKER 4

And you know this doesn't go on the front page of the Washington Post either.

SPEAKER 1

No, this isn't from the front page, is it?

But no, it is there anyway.

But the media manages your perceptions by deciding, you know, how much emphasis to give it, how often to keep reporting it and so on.

And yet another atrocity story, Ben Gavir, perhaps the least lovable of Netanyahu's not exactly lovable cabinet cabinet is cheering for the sniper who killed a 12 year old boy was playing with fireworks.

Well, I guess you better not set off any fireworks in Gaza or even just live there.

SPEAKER 4

Well, Ben Gavir, I mean, too bad they didn't circumcise him with a rusty fishing knife.

SPEAKER 1

Yeah, at the neck.

That's where they should have taken a little off the top, starting at the neck.

Okay.

And, oh yeah, we just got, we just did that one.

Here are the next plan.

Now, instead of sending the Palestinians to the Congo, which remember Netanyahu, I think actually broached that earlier.

And somehow that didn't fly.

So now they want humanitarian islands.

What does that mean?

Are they going to build artificial islands off the coast of Gaza?

No, it just means nothing.

It just means they're going to keep slaughtering the people of Gaza.

Netanyahu says that going into Rafah is a done deal, even though he's being told not to by everybody, even including Biden and Chuck Schumer and everybody else.

So what do you make of these humanitarian islands, Mike?

SPEAKER 4

Well, that's the newest concept.

I have never heard such a combination of words in my life.

And I think what it translates to in real English is even smaller concentration camps with even higher concrete walls.

SPEAKER 1

Okay, smaller concentration camps within a bigger concentration camp.

Oh, boy.

You'd think that these people who have all their stories about the concentration camps wouldn't want to do this, but you'd be thinking wrong.

All right, well, this all leads us to the Jewish question.

To what extent is Jewish identity politics and or Jewish religious and cultural history that produced those identity politics, to what extent is that related to the genocide of Gaza?

And those questions are leading to a wholesale reconsideration of the status of Jews as a totally protected minority that can do no wrong.

It's always on the side of the angels, which is the way that they've been portrayed by the media that they own since World War II.

Here's one thing they don't publicize very often.

I had a big fight with Richie Allen on his show this week.

Well, fight is maybe too strong of a word, but hey, we're both Irishmen, so I guess we can call it that.

Richie says that the majority of the Israeli Jews don't support this genocide of Gaza.

And I said, sorry, Richie, they do.

It's over 90%.

And then pulled out a Time Magazine story reporting on a poll, the only poll like this that's been done that I've found,

showing that only 1.8% of Israeli Jews think that the IDF has been using too much firepower in Gaza.

And the great majority, 57% plus, think it's using too little.

So that kind of tells you about the mentality of the Jews of Israel.

SPEAKER 4

Well, I mean, you've got to look at this in a certain way.

If they believe they're angels, wasn't Lucifer an angel who is now masquerading in a rather warm section of the universe called hell?

And they call him a Shaitan or Iblis or Satan.

So I think that if all these Jews that don't support genocide, why aren't they taking action against Satan, Yahoo?

And it's the gang of murderers, war criminals and human rights violators.

SPEAKER 1

That's a good question.

And of course, in Islamic thought, it's the Shaitan al-Babilah is a jinn, not an angel.

He was apparently there when there was a conference of the angels, but we learn, I think it's in Surah Al-Kahf, that he was actually a jinn.

In any case, whatever the Shaitan al-Babilah is, seems like the Zionists are channeling him.

You don't need a theology doctorate to know that.

So here's a piece that Russia Today produced almost as if to sort of maybe not rebuke me, but to take that conversation with Richie Allen down a slightly different path, which is, yeah, there are actually some anti-genocide and even anti-Zionist Jews in occupied Palestine, aka Israel.

There aren't very many.

It's less than 2%, to say the least, probably even less than that, especially the vocal ones.

But there are some, and RT's correspondent managed to track a couple down.

So one of them has quoted here saying, thanks to media research and tours in historic Palestine, I came to the conclusion that I had no willingness to take part in the ongoing Nakba of the Palestinian people, meaning the Palestinian Holocaust.

And then they mentioned another one named Tal Mitnick, who keeps getting sentenced to prison because he refuses to serve.

Now, if the people refuse to serve in the armed forces in Israel, the majority of them are doing it for other reasons.

But a minority of maybe 10%-ish are doing it because they are against genocide.

So there are some, and God bless them.
