[2012 May] The United Jewish Kingdom By Gilad Atzmon it was the Jewish Lobby led by Lord Levy that financed the Labour government that took us into an illegal War in Iraq? The student may argue that some people mistakenly identify Jews (as a collective) with the horrendous non-ethical acts of just a few Jews, this is where prejudice, plays its role. Bearing in mind it was also Jewish chronicle writers such as David Aaronovitch and Nick Cohen who were supporting this criminal act in the mainstream media, such an answer is coherent and consistent with the facts. Another honest student may suggest that with 80% of the Tory MPs (including education minister Michael Gove ) being CFI members there is a reason to believe that the British Government is under the control of a foreign power.

Quotes
The following verse, from Deuteronomy 6:10-12, is a part of an
oration made by Moses to his people while on their way to the 'Promised Land':
'Then when the Lord your God
brings you to the land he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to
give you - a land with large, fine cities you did not build, houses filled with
choice things you did not accumulate, hewn out cisterns you did not dig, and
vineyards and olive groves you did not plant - and you eat your fill, be careful
not to forget the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, that place of slavery.'
The Judaic God, as portrayed by
Moses in the above passage, is an evil deity, who leads his people to plunder,
robbery and theft. Yet there are many ways to deal with this negative image of
the Almighty. At the literary level, one can argue that the given verses are no
more than just three isolated lines in a lengthy text that is well-meaning and
offers some fundamental universal thoughts. At the contextual level, it may be
suggested that it wasn't actually God speaking to the Chosen People, but Moses
himself, who failed to deliver the true divine message - in other words, Moses
may have got it wrong, or even made it up. There are many other ways to save the
Judaic God and Judaism from being the logos behind contemporary Israeli plunder,
but it is not so easy to save the Israelis from being presented as robbers and
pillagers.
Moses, his contemporaries and their
current followers were and are excited about the possibilities that awaited them
in the Land of Milk and Honey. Israel, the Jewish State, has been
following Moses' call. The ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people in
1948, and the constant and total abuse of the Palestinian people since then,
makes Deuteronomy 6:10-12 look like a prophecy fulfilled.

Gilad Atzmon
'The Catholic theologian Raymund Schwager found 600 passages of explicit violence in the Old Testament, along with 1000 descriptive verses of God's own violent punishments and 100 passages where God expressly commands others to kill. Violence is one of the most frequently mentioned activities in the Hebrew Bible.' The Wandering Who?: A Study of Jewish Identity Politics by Gilad Atzmon
Moses, his contemporaries and their current followers were and are excited
about the possibilities that awaited them in the Land of Milk and Honey. Israel,
the Jewish State, has been following Moses' call. The
ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people in 1948, and the constant and total
abuse of the Palestinian people since then, makes Deuteronomy 6:10-12 look like
a prophecy fulfilled. For more than sixty years,
the Biblical call for theft has been put into legal praxis. The Israeli looting
of Palestinian cities, homes, fields and wells has found its way into Israel's
legal system: by 1950-51, Israeli legislators had already approved the 'Absentee
Property Law', a racially-orientated law preventing Palestinians from returning
to their lands, cities and villages, and allowing the new Israelites to live in
houses and cities they 'did not build'.
The never-ending theft of Palestine
in the name of the Jewish people is part of a spiritual, ideological, cultural
and practical continuum between the Bible, Zionist ideology and the State of
Israel (along with its overseas supporters). Israel and Zionism, both successful
political systems, have instituted the plunder promised by the Hebrew God in the
Judaic holy scriptures.
But this continuum goes further than just theft - in reviewing the following
Biblical passages, recall the devastating images of Gazans being bombed in a UN
shelter at the time of the IDF's Operation Cast Lead (Dec-Jan 2008-2009):
'You will chase your enemies, and
they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and
a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by
the sword before you.' Leviticus, 26:7-8
'When the Lord your God brings you
into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations
... you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no
mercy.' Deuteronomy 7:1-2
'Do not leave alive anything that
breathes. Completely destroy them ... as the Lord your
God has commanded you ...'---Deuteronomy 20:16
