The Secret Behind the Unique U.S.-Israel Bond
U.S.-Israel relations have been based on a unique infrastructure of shared values, joint interests, and mutual threats.

July 15, 2011 - 12:00 am - by Yoram Ettinger

In order to comprehend U.S. foreign policy in general, and U.S. special ties with Israel in particular, one needs to be familiar with U.S. domestic policy and with the U.S. state of mind.

For instance, since 1776, the U.S. has never been governed by a Europe-style left-wing government. Today, the number of self-identified conservatives is twice as high as those who consider themselves to be liberal. Following the 1994 congressional Democratic defeat, President Clinton turned toward the center/right, which paved the road to his 1996 reelection and the 1998 congressional Democratic gains, in spite of the Lewinski affair. In contrast, President Obama’s decline in the polls, accentuated by the 2010 devastating defeat for Democrats, resulted from his left-leaning image.

The American state of mind is not represented by the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, New York, Los Angeles, or Hollywood, but by Middle America’s flyovers, who reside in medium and small town America between the East and the West coasts. These flyovers have benefited from a tailwind, triggered by the substantial migration, during recent decades, from the Northeast to the Southwest.

In contrast to Europe — and just like in Israel — the U.S. features a critical political mass of people who cherish American exceptionalism, patriotism, tradition, religion, family values, small government, low taxes, individualism, defiance of odds, and the right to bear arms. They are anti-establishment, pro-military, anti-terror, anti-UN, scorn Europe, and are suspicious of Muslim and Arab regimes.

The U.S. is the most religious Western democracy: 90% of Americans believe in God; 85% wish to preserve “In God We Trust” and “One Nation Under God”; 50% say grace regularly; 45% frequent church on Sunday; 15 million copies of the Holy Bible — which is available in most hotel rooms — are sold annually. The number of religious TV stations has grown from nine in 1974 to almost 300 in 2011; the House of Representatives starts deliberations with a prayer; presidents and other top leaders conclude speeches with “God bless America.” The American ethos also includes the three Gs: God, Guns, and Guts.

The U.S. is the only country in which 80% of the people define their core values as Judeo-Christian. The Ten Commandments — which are displayed in public buildings throughout the USA — are recognized as a key component of America’s moral foundation. Statutes of Moses are featured in the House of Representatives and in the U.S. Supreme Court. Leviticus 25:10 is inscribed on the Liberty Bell; Jewish terms are manifested — in Hebrew — on the official seals of Yale and Columbia universities and Dartmouth College; the Star of David is visible — above the eagle — in the official U.S. seal, and the U.S. map includes thousands of locations bearing Biblical names.

Therefore, most Americans do not consider the Jewish state a typical foreign policy issue, but also a domestic issue, closely related to America’s core values. The current stormy “Arab Winter,” along with U.S. frustration with NATO’s conduct in the battle against Islamic terrorism, spotlights Israel as America’s only stable, credible, capable, democratic, and unconditional ally in the Middle East, and probably in the world. Israel has been America’s battle-proven and cost-effective laboratory for military systems, generating for the U.S. defense industries thousands of modifications and upgrades worth mega billions of dollars and expanding U.S. employment, exports, and research and development bases. Israel has shared with the U.S. its experience in battling improvised explosive devices (IEDs), car bombs, and suicide bombers, which has spared American lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen.

Israel has been the outpost of Western democracies in an uncertain, unpredictable, violent region which is vital to critical Western interests relating to economics and security. In 1970, Israel’s posture of deterrence repelled Syria’s invasion of Jordan, which threatened Saudi Arabia and other oil producing Gulf states. In 2011, Israel constitutes — according to the late General Alexander Haig — America’s largest aircraft carrier, which does not require a single American on board, cannot be sunk, and saves the American taxpayer some $20 billion annually. The special affinity toward the Jewish state has prevailed since the arrival in 1620 of William Bradford’s “Mayflower,” which departed from “the modern day Egypt” — Britain — crossed “the modern day Red Sea” — the Atlantic Ocean — and arrived in “the modern day Promised Land” — America.

The enduring, solid support of enhanced U.S.-Israel ties has been uniquely bottom-to-top-driven, nourished by popular sentiments, sometimes in defiance of temporary tenants in the White House. According to a May 26 CNN poll, 67% support Israel over the Palestinian Authority. According to a February 2011 Gallup poll, 68% consider Israel an ally of the U.S. According to a February 2011 Rasmussen Report poll, most Americans oppose foreign aid to Arab countries but support foreign aid to Israel. And, according to an April 2010 Quinnipiac poll, 66% would like President Obama to improve his attitude toward Israel. In fact, most legislators on Capitol Hill — who constitute a co-determining, equal in power branch of government — do not share Obama’s attitude toward Israel. They have been a bastion of support for the Jewish state.

U.S.-Israel relations have been based on a unique infrastructure of shared values, joint interests, and mutual threats. The foundation of shared values — which highlights the cradle of Jewish history — has moderated tensions/crises between the leaders of both countries, preventing a long term rift. Israeli prime ministers leveraged this unique infrastructure from 1948-1992, highlighting the historical Jewish deed to the land of Israel, fending off occasional pressures by American presidents, while systematically enhancing U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation.

Will Israeli leaders realize in 2011 that steadfastness over the cradle of Jewish history, Judea and Samaria — simultaneously with the demonstration of Israel’s unique contribution to U.S. national security — is consistent with the state of mind of most American citizens and most American legislators? Will they realize that standing by the cradle of Jewish history may result in the loss of short-term popularity, but in the significant gain of long-term respect, which is essential for the enhancement of strategic relations?

Influence of Zionist Movements on America.

1) World Zionist Organization

The World Zionist Organization (Hebrew: ההסתדרות הציונית העולמית&#8206, or WZO, was founded as the Zionist Organization (Hebrew: ההסתדרות הציונית&#8206, or ZO, in 1897 at the First Zionist Congress, held from August 29 to August 31 in Basel, Switzerland. It changed its name to World Zionist Organization in January 1960.

The ZO served as an umbrella organization for the Zionist movement, whose objective was the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine - at that time under the Ottoman Empire and following the First World War The British Mandate of Palestine. Theodor Herzl, who with Max Nordau and Zvi Shimshi, organized the first Congress, later wrote in his diary: "If I were to sum up the Congress in a word – which I shall take care not to publish – it would be this: At Basle I founded the Jewish State. If I said this out loud today I would be greeted by universal laughter. In five years perhaps, and certainly in fifty years, everyone will perceive it."

When the State of Israel was declared 51 years later on May 14, 1948, many of its new administrative institutions were already in place, having evolved during the regular Zionist Congresses of the previous decades. Some of these institutions remain to this day. The WZO's headquarters was permanently moved to Jerusalem, after being located over the years in capitals of Europe, including Berlin and London, and most recently in New York City, in the United States.

Presidents of World Zionist Organization

* Theodor Herzl : (1897–1904)
* David Wolffsohn : (1905–1911)
* Otto Warburg : (1911–1921)
* Chaim Weizmann (1st time) : (1921–1931)
* Nahum Sokolow : (1931–1935)
* Chaim Weizmann (2nd time) : (1935–1946)
* David Ben-Gurion (acting) : (1946–1956)
* Nahum Goldmann : (1956–1968) [3]
* Ehud Avriel : (1968–1972)

2) Jewish Agency for Israel

The Jewish Agency for Israel (Hebrew: הסוכנות היהודית לארץ ישראל, HaSochnut HaYehudit L'Eretz Yisra'el), also known as the Sochnut or JAFI, served as the organization in charge of immigration and absorption of Jews from the Diaspora into the state of Israel.

The Zionist Organisation (ZO) founded the Palestine Bureau (also known as "Eretz Yisrael Office") in Jaffa in 1908, under Arthur Ruppin, and began to adopt a systematic colonisation policy[2] in Palestine.

Following the promulgation of the pro-Zionist, Balfour Declaration of 1917, Chaim Weizmann, president of the British Zionist Federation[3] formed the Zionist Commission in March 1918 to go to Palestine and make recommendations to the British government. The Commission reached Palestine on 14 April 1918 and proceeded to study conditions and to report to the British government, and was active in promoting Zionist objectives in Palestine. Weizmann was instrumental in restructuring the ZO's Palestine office into departments for agriculture, settlement, education, land, finance, immigration, and statistics.
American Section

On September 14, 1943 the American Section of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc. registered as the Jewish Agency's foreign agent in New York. In 1962 and 1963 the Senate Foreign Relations Committee investigated and received sworn testimony from American Section – Jewish Agency Inc. regarding its status and source of funding. The American Section - Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc. subsequently closed down in November of 1971, but quickly reorganized its operations under a new corporate shell: the World Zionist Organization - American Section, which claimed no foreign government principal.

The Jewish Agency is supported by:

1. The Government of Israel.
2. Founding constituent partners: Keren Hayesod, Jewish Federations of North America, and Jewish federations throughout the world
3. Primary funders: Keren Hayesod, United Jewish Communities and major Jewish federations in North America, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

3) AMERICAN ZIONIST MOVEMENT (AZM)

AMERICAN ZIONIST MOVEMENT (AZM), umbrella organization for American Zionist organizations. AZM is composed of 21 Zionist membership organizations and agencies. It was created to be a programming, educational, and information arm for American Zionism. AZM is the successor organization of the American Zionist Emergency Council (organized in 1939), the *American Zionist Council (1949), and the American Zionist Federation (May 1970). Each successive organization was generated by changing political and social circumstances in the United States and the Middle East.

Established in 1993, AZM set out to heighten the profile and relevancy of organized Zionism in the U.S. through greater activism on a wide range of political and social issues of concern to American Jews. Like all members of the WZO, AZM's unifying principles are those of the Jerusalem Program.

The American Zionist Movement has its own mandate for action in the United States. It has set our own goals and objectives to involve more Jews in Zionism and to take an activist posture on the Jewish scene. AZM defends Israel's cause with vigor and confidence. It offers the next generation of young Zionists opportunities for leadership and action in the Zionist cause; it attempts to link young Jewish students confronting the problems on American campuses today and to strengthen the links between Jewish faculty and students. It promotes and enhances creative Jewish continuity and aims at forging stronger bonds between American Jews and Israel that result from personal contact with Israel.

4) Hadassah, The Women's Zionist Organization of America

Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America is an American Jewish volunteer women's organization. Founded in 1912 by Henrietta Szold, it is now one of the largest Jewish organizations, with some 270,000 members around the world, most of them women.
Hadassah was established in 1912 in New York City by Henrietta Szold and the Daughters of Zion, a women's study group. The goal was to promote the Zionist ideal through education, public health initiatives, and the training of nurses in what was then the Palestine region of the Ottoman Empire.

5) Zionist Organization of America

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), founded in 1897,[1] was one of the first official Zionist organizations in the United States, and, especially early in the 20th century, the primary representative of Jewish Americans to the World Zionist Organization, espousing primarily Political Zionism.

Today, the ZOA continues to exist as a prominent pro-Israel group in the United States, with 30,000 current members
The ZOA today works to strengthen U.S.-Israel relations through educational activities, [11] public affairs programs, support for pro-Israel legislation on Capitol Hill, [12] and by combating what it perceives as anti-Israel bias in the media, textbooks, travel guides, and on college campuses. The ZOA's Law and Justice Department has also been at the forefront of legal efforts to combat campus [13] anti-Semitism.
The ZOA also sponsors educational and cultural programs in Israel. The "ZOA House" is a noted cultural center in Tel Aviv.[14] The ZOA is responsible for founding the Kfar Silver school, which provides education and vocational training for new Jewish immigrants and others on a 500-acre (2.0 km2) campus near Ashkelon. The ZOA's youth division sponsors one of the largest programs for sending young Jews to visit Israel.

6) Association of Reform Zionists of America

Reform Zionism, also known as Progressive Zionism is the ideology of the Zionist arm of the Reform or Progressive branch of Judaism. The Association of Reform Zionists of America (ARZA) is the American Reform movement's Zionist organization. Their mission “endeavors to make Israel fundamental to the sacred lives and Jewish identity of Reform Jews. As a Zionist organization, ARZA champions activities that further enhance Israel as a pluralistic, just and democratic Jewish state.” ARZA was founded in 1978 as an affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism (at that time called the Union of American Hebrew Congregations). The organizationfounding Executive Director was Rabbi Ira Youdovin, succeeded by Rabbis Eric Yoffie, Ammiel Hirsch, and Andrew Davids. In Israel, Reform Zionism is associated with the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism.

7) National Council of Jewish Federations

A Jewish Federation is a confederation of various Jewish social agencies, volunteer programs, educational bodies, and related organizations, found within most cities in North America that host a viable Jewish community. Their broad purpose is to provide "human services", generally, but not exclusively, to the local Jewish community
Role in community

Jewish federations can wield a sizable degree of influence in the Jewish communities in which they are located.[3] Many of the local federations hold annual fundraising drives that are expected to raise most of the next year's budgeting for many community programs.[3] In return, in many communities the agencies which receive funding from the federation agree not to engage in major fundraising for themselves for a number of months often called the "primacy period" when the local federation's fundraising has primacy. Decisions made by the local federations can have a great impact on the community,[1] including the opening or closing of programs, staff hirings and firings, and land purchases and sales.

A significant feature of the annual federation campaign is "Super Sunday", a day designated for community-wide phone banking, seeking contributions from members of the community

8) National Community Relations Advisory Council
The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is an American Jewish non-profit organization that deals with community relations. It is a coordinating round table organization of 14 other national Jewish organizations (the "National Member Agencies") as well as 127 local Jewish federations and community relations councils. The JCPA describes itself as "the representative voice of the organized American Jewish community."
The JCPA works on shaping consensus on public issues, developing strategic responses, and working with the media, elected officials, coalition partners, and others through public relations, advocacy, and lobbying. International issues that the JCPA is concerned with include Israel-United States relations, global antisemitism, the United Nations, the well-being of Jews in endangered areas, and human rights. Domestic issues that the JCPA is concerned with include include anti-Semitism, social justice, poverty, education, public health, and individual rights, and religious liberties including the preservation of the separation of church and state. The JCPA is also actively involved in environmentalism and climate change issues though its program the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL), an affiliate of the National Religious Partnership on the Environment.

Each year the JCPA has an annual conference known as the Plenum, the highest policy-developing body of the organization. At the Plenum the JCPA hosts speakers and debates and adopts resolutions expressing the consensus policies of member organizations and the organized American Jewish community. These policies become part of the "JCPA Policy Compendium," which includes positions on a range of issues.

The JCPA has three main task forces:

* Israel, World Jewry, and International Human Rights
* Jewish Security and The Bill of Rights
* Equal Opportunity and Social Justice

9) American Jewish Committee

American Jews, also known as Jewish Americans,[3] are American citizens or resident aliens of the Jewish faith and/or Jewish ethnicity. The Jewish community in the United States is composed predominantly of Ashkenazi Jews who emigrated from Central and Eastern Europe, and their U.S.-born descendants. A minority from all Jewish ethnic divisions are also represented, including Sephardi Jews, Mizrahi Jews, and a number of converts. The American Jewish community manifests a wide range of Jewish cultural traditions, as well as encompassing the full spectrum of Jewish religious observance.
Federal Reserve

Paul Warburg, one of the leading advocates of the establishment of a central bank in the U.S. and one of the first governors of the newly established Federal Reserve System, came from a prominent Jewish family in Germany.[118] Several Jews have served as chairmen of the Fed, including Ben Bernanke, the current Chairman, and Alan Greenspan, the prior chairman.

10) American Jewish Congress

The American Jewish Congress describes itself as an association of Jewish Americans organized to defend Jewish interests at home and abroad through public policy advocacy, using diplomacy, legislation, and the courts.

Like the American Jewish Congress, another institution prominent in American Jewish life is the American Jewish Committee. It often goes by the initials AJC. For ease of identification, the two organizations are often referred to as the AJCongress or the AJCommittee.

11) Anti-Defamation League

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an international non-governmental organization based in the United States. Describing itself as "the nation's premier civil rights/human relations agency", the ADL states that it "fights anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals and protects civil rights for all" while it "[advocates] for Israel [...] with policymakers, the media and the public" and "defends the security of Israel and Jews worldwide".

Founded in 1913 by The Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish service organization in the United States, its original mission statement was "to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens."[1] The ADL has 29 offices in the United States and three offices in other countries, with its headquarters located in New York City. Since 1987, Abraham Foxman has been the national director in the United States. The national chairman in the United States is Robert Sugarman.

12) United Jewish Appeal

The United Jewish Appeal (UJA) was a Jewish philanthropic umbrella organization that existed from its creation in 1949 until it was folded into the United Jewish Communities, which was formed from the 1999 merger of United Jewish Appeal (UJA), Council of Jewish Federations and United Israel Appeal, Inc.

In January 1939, the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees and Overseas Needs was established, combining the efforts of American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, led by Rabbi Jonah Wise; the United Palestine Appeal, led by Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver; and the National Coordinating Committee Fund led by William Rosenwald.[1] The three founders emphasized that the funds needed to support Jews in Europe and Palestine would be triple to quadruple the amount raised in the previous year. While the organizations would raise funds together, the Joint Distribution Committee would assist Jews in Europe, the United Palestine Appeal would aid the Jewish community in Palestine, including refugees from Europe arriving there and the National Coordinating Committee Fund would assist refugees arriving in the United States.[1]

In 1999, the UJA merged with the Council of Jewish Federations and United Israel Appeal, Inc. to form a combined entity that would be called the United Jewish Communities. While the organizations had been raising more than $1 billion annually, they had faced concerns that the individual organizations were not as relevant as during the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel, with many major donors seeking to direct their philanthropy through their own foundations rather than through the umbrella organizations. The balance of power would shift to the federations, which would select about two-thirds of the 120 members on the board of trustees of the new organization. Businessman and philanthropist Charles Bronfman was chosen as the volunteer chairman of the combined entity, responsible for planning the group's strategic direction

Don't you people wonder who are the real owners of America.
don't you feel it strange that most hatred movement in the world (ZIONISM) is also the most strongest movement in world.
are not you people shocked at the level of influence of the cancer of zionism and neoconism in American society.Fortunately or unfortunately most strongest country in the world.

Don't you people wonder who are the real owners of America.

Just look at who owns our debt: Saudis and Chinese.

don't you feel it strange that most hatred movement in the world (ZIONISM) is also the most strongest movement in world.

Not the strongest, but perhaps the one waved around most by thugs to inspire and frighten their followers. Not because of anything Zionists do but simply because Zionism represents what they fear most: justice.

are not you people shocked at the level of influence of the cancer of zionism and neoconism in American society. Fortunately or unfortunately most strongest country in the world.

Perhaps the reason why the U.S.A. is the strongest country in the world is that not only does it have great natural resources and a large population but its Founding Fathers revered Judaism's Old Testament and consciously built a just society of equals rather than nobles?

 

[Zabaniyah]

Not the strongest, but perhaps the one waved around most by thugs to inspire and frighten their followers. Not because of anything Zionists do but simply because Zionism represents what they fear most: justice.

What's that supposed to mean?

Perhaps the reason why the U.S.A. is the strongest country in the world is that not only does it have great natural resources and a large population but its Founding Fathers revered Judaism's Old Testament and consciously built a just society of equals rather than nobles?

The USA was founded by solid foundations. It is indeed a good example for the world - how a young nation become so rich and powerful while many older nations and empires cannot. America's founders were religious, albeit more like Deists.

At least - I suspect the USA will remain as the world's primary superpower for a very long time. It's all about values. But, I maybe wrong considering the uncertain future.

The article was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Ahmad Abdullah Ravian]

When nearly all economy and media in USA is controlled by Jews ,This US-Israel Bond is just an open secret

 

[pmukherjee]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it true that the term Judeo Christianity has found lesser and lesser usage post 9/11 in keeping with a popular desire to project a certain sense of secularism? Isn't it correct that the usage of this term is now largely confined to the Conservatives?

 

[rubyjackass]

BS article meant to suck up on US public. Whenever you have a reason get support by arguing on it. If you don't rant like this about shared values, blah blah blah. But the article is true about the state of American conservatism. Too many politicians today are taking pride in being conservative. And most of this bunch are stupid. Yet some are confident of winning the presidential election. Who knows may be Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann will be the next US president. I look forward to the day as a grand experiment of public administration.

And this is supposed to be "secret"?? And yet you know about it? Not much of a secret is it?

The real reasons why US and Israel have such a close relationship is no secret -- not only is there a ethnic-religious politically active, professional and economically vibrant minority community at work, but deep religious and more than anything else, a close cultural, that is to say a civilizational, relationship at work -- "They are like us" is what an average American would say about the Israeli --And the Israeli earn his keep by keeping a close eye (intelligence) on the region in which it is situated -- None of this is secret, no conspiracy at work.

Just look at who owns our debt: Saudis and Chinese.

i like the way you people play with words.
i am talking about the people who took all the gold from the market/world and instead give them cloth.

Not the strongest, but perhaps the one waved around most by thugs to inspire and frighten their followers. Not because of anything Zionists do but simply because Zionism represents what they fear most: justice.

you know what exactly is problem with this world,they know very little about you,they have no idea what type of security threat you are to the world itself and its peace.
a zionist calling other thug,this is unfair.
Solomon why not we have a debate on zionism,so that members will know what exactly zionism is?
if you agree then please start from basic
"define zionism"

Perhaps the reason why the U.S.A. is the strongest country in the world is that not only does it have great natural resources and a large population but its Founding Fathers revered Judaism's Old Testament and consciously built a just society of equals rather than nobles?

although Americans have many short commings but they also have some qualities like standing for truth and justice,but problem with them is you people are making them fool.
Founding fathers of America were member of secret societies like freemasonry,if they really want to build a society based on justice why taking the cover of secret societies.
and the legacy of secret societies still continue in America where its members masturbate i front of each other and also do sex with each other as pledge of secrecy.

JEWISH HISTORY IN THE UNITED STATES

The story of the Jews in America begins with Christopher Columbus. On August 2, 1492, more than 300,000 Jews were expelled from Spain and on August 3, the next day, Columbus set sail for the west, taking a group of Jews with him.

They were not, however, refugees, for the prophetic navigator's plans had aroused the sympathy of influential Jews for a long period previously. Columbus himself tells us that he consorted much with Jews. The first letter he wrote detailing his discoveries was to a Jew. Indeed, the eventful voyage itself which added to men's knowledge and wealth "the other half of the earth" was made possible by Jews. The pleasant story that it was Queen Isabella's jewels which financed the voyage has disappeared under cool research.

There were three Maranos or "secret Jews" who wielded great influence at the Spanish court: Luis de Santagel, who was an important merchant of Valencia and who was "farmer" of the royal taxes; his relative, Gabriel Sanchez, who was the royal treasurer; and their friend, the royal chamberlain, Juan Cabrero. These worked unceasingly on Queen Isabella's imagination, picturing to her the depletion of the royal treasury and the likelihood of Columbus discovering the fabulous gold of the Indies, until the Queen was ready to offer her jewels in pawn for the funds. But Santagel craved permission to advance the money himself, which he did, 17,000 ducats in all, about 5,000 pounds, perhaps equal to 40,000 pounds today.

Associated with Columbus in the voyage were at least five Jews: Luis de Torres, interpreter; Marco, the surgeon; Bernal, the physician; Alonzo de la Calle, and Gabriel Sanchez. Luis de Torres was the first man ashore, the first to discover the use of tobacco; he settled in Cuba and may be said to be the father of Jewish control of the tobacco business as it exists today.

Columbus' old patrons, Luis de Santagel and Gabriel Sanchez, received many privileges for the part they played in the work, but Columbus himself became the victim of a conspiracy fostered by Bernal, the ship's doctor, and suffered injustice and imprisonment as his reward.

From that beginning, Jews looked more and more to America as a fruitful field, and immigration set in strongly toward South America, principally Brazil. But because of military participation in a disagreement between the Brazilians and the Dutch, the Jews of Brazil found it necessary to emigrate, which they did in the direction of the Dutch colony of what is now New York. Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch governor, did not entirely approve of their settling among his people and ordered them to leave, but the Jews had evidently taken the precaution to assure their being received if not welcomed, because upon revoking the order of Stuyvesant, the Directors gave as one of the reasons for the Jews being received, "the large amount of capital which they have invested in the shares of the Company."

Nevertheless they were forbidden to enter public service and to open retail shops, which had the effect of driving them into foreign trade in which they were soon exercising all but a monopoly because of their European connections.

This is only one of the thousand illustrations which can be given of the resourcefulness of the Jew. Forbid him in one direction he will excel in another. When he was forbidden to deal in new clothes, he sold old clothes - that was the beginning of the organized traffic in secondhand clothing. When he was forbidden to deal in merchandise, he dealt in waste - the Jew is the originator of the waste product business of the world; he was the originator of the salvage system; he found wealth in the debris of civilization. He taught people how to use old rags, how to clean old feathers, how to use gall nuts and rabbit skins. He has always had a taste for the furrier trade, which he now controls, and to him is due the multitude of common skins which now pass under various alluring trade names as furs of high origin.

Unwittingly, old Peter Stuyvesant compelled the Jews to make New York the principal port of America, and though a majority of New York Jews had fled to Philadelphia at the time of the American Revolution, most of them returned to New York at the earliest opportunity, instinct seeming to make them aware that, in New York was to be their principal paradise of gain. And so it has proved.

New York is the greatest center of Jewish population in the world. It is the gateway where the bulk of American imports and exports are taxed, and where practical all the business done in America pays tribute to the masters of money. The very land of the city is the holdings of the Jews.

No wonder that Jewish writers, viewing this unprecedented prosperity, this unchecked growth in wealth and power, exclaim enthusiastically that the United States is the Promised Land foretold by the prophets, and New York the New Jerusalem. Some have gone even further and described the peaks of the Rockies as "the mountains of Zion," and with reason, too, if the mining and coastal wealth of the Jews is considered.

In the time of George Washington there were about 4,000 Jews in the country, most of them well to do traders. They favored the American side and helped the revolutionary colonies out with loans at critical moments.

In fifty years the traceable increase in the Jewish population of the United States was more than 3,300,000. What it is today no man can estimate with any hope of accuracy.

To make a list of the lines of business controlled by the Jews of the United States would be to touch most of the vital industries of the country - those which are really vital, and those which cultivated habit have been made to seem vital. The theatrical business is exclusively Jewish: play-producing, booking, theater operation are all in the hands of Jews. This accounts for the fact that in almost every production today can be detected propaganda, sometimes glaringly commercial advertisement, sometimes direct political instruction.

The motion picture industry; the sugar industry; the tobacco industry; fifty per cent or more of the meat packing industry; over sixty per cent of the shoemaking industry; most of the musical purveying done in the country; jewelry; grain; cotton; oil; steel; magazine authorship; news distribution; the liquor business; the loan business; these, to name only the industries with national and international sweep, are in control of the Jews of the United States, either alone or in association with Jews overseas.

The American people would be vastly surprised if they could see a line-up of some of the "American business men' who hold up our commercial prestige overseas. They are mostly Jews. This may throw a sidelight on the regard in which "American business methods" are held in some parts of the world. When many different races of people can carry on business under the name "American," and do it legally, too, it is not surprising that Americans do not recognize some of the descriptions of American methods which appear in the foreign Press. If the reputation of American business has suffered, it is because something other than American methods have been used under the American name.

Instances of Jewish prosperity in the United States are commonplace, but prosperity, the just reward of foresight and application, is not to be confounded with control. It would be impossible for any Gentile coalition under similar circumstances to attain the control which the Jews have won, for the reason that there is lacking in the Gentile a certain quality of working-togetherness, a certain conspiracy of objective, and the adhesiveness of intense raciality, which characterizes the Jew. It is nothing to a Gentile that another man is a Gentile; it is next to everything to a Jew that the man at his door is another Jew.

The International Jewish plan to move their money market to the United States was what the American people did rot want. We have the warning of history as to what this means. It has meant in turn that Spain, Venice, Germany or Great Britain received the blame or suspicion of the world for what the Jewish financiers have done. It is a most important consideration that most of the national animosities that exist today arose out of resentment against what Jewish money power did under the camouflage of national names.

"The British did this," "The Germans did this," when it was the International Jew who did it, the nations being but the marked spaces on his checker board. Today, around the world the blaming word is heard, "The United States did this. If it were not for the United States the world would be in a better shape. The Americans are a sordid, greedy, cruel people."

Why? Because the Jewish money power is centered here and is making money out of both our immunity and Europe's distress, playing one against the other; and because so many so-called "American business men" abroad today are not Americans at all - they are Jews.

Citizens wake up with a start to find that even the white nations are hardly allowed to see each other nowadays except through Jewish eyes. Great Britain and France seldom see a special American spokesman who is not a Jew. That may be the reason why they reciprocate by sending Jews to us, thinking perhaps that we prefer them.
JEWISH HISTORY IN THE UNITED STATES

 

[*Awan*]

The Sixth Protocol --
"We will force up wages, which however will be of no benefit to workers, for we at the same time will cause a rise in the prices of prime necessities, pretending that this is due to decline of agriculture and of cattle raising. We will also artfully and deeply undermine the sources of production by instilling in the workmen ideas of anarchy and encourage them in the use of alcohol, at the same time taking measures to drive all the intellectual forces of the Gentiles from the land."



ANGLES OF JEWISH INFLUENCE

The Jewish Question exists wherever Jews appear, says Theodor Herzl, because they bring it with them. It is not their numbers that create the Question, for there is in almost every country a larger number of other aliens than of Jews. It is not their much-boasted ability, for it is now coming to be understood that, give the Jew an equal start and hold him to the rules of the game, and he is not smarter than anyone else; indeed, in one great class of Jews the zeal is quenched when opportunity for intrigue is removed.

The Jewish Question is not the number of Jews who reside here, not in the American's jealousy of the Jew's success, certainly not in any objection to the Jew's Mosaic religion; it is in something else, and that something else is the fact of Jewish influence on the life of the country where Jews dwell; in the United States it is the Jewish influence on American life.

That the Jews exert an influence, they themselves loudly proclaim. The Jews claim, indeed, that the fundamentals of the United States are Jewish and not Christian, and that the entire history of this country should be re-written to make proper acknowledgement of the prior glory due to Judah. If the question of influence rested entirely on the Jewish claim, there would be no occasion for doubt; they claim it all. But it is kindness to hold them to the facts; it is also more clearly explanatory of the conditions in our country.

If they insist that they "gave us our Bible" and "gave us our God" and "gave us our religion," as they do over and over again with nauseating superciliousness throughout all their polemic publications -- not a single one of these claims being true -- they must not grow impatient and profane while we complete the list of the real influences they have set at work in American life.

It is not the Jewish people but the Jewish idea, and the people only as vehicles of the idea, that is the point at issue. In this investigation of the Jewish Question, it is Jewish influence and the Jewish Idea that are being discovered and defined.

The Jews are propagandists. This was originally their mission. But they were to propagate the central tenet of their religion. This they failed to do. By failing in this they, according to their own Scriptures, failed everywhere They are now without a mission of blessing. Few of their leaders even claim a spiritual mission. But the mission idea is still with them in a degenerate form; it represents the grossest materialism of the day; it has become a means of sordid acquisition instead of a channel of service.


LABOR AND JEWRY

The essence of the Jewish Idea in its influence on the labor world is the same as in all other departments -- the destruction of real values in favor of fictitious values. The Jewish philosophy of money is not to "make money," but to "get money." The distinction between these two is fundamental. That explains Jews being "financiers" instead of "captains of industry." It is the difference between "getting" and "making."

The creative, constructive type of mind has an affection for the thing it is doing. The non-Jewish worker formerly chose the work he liked best. He did not change employment easily, because there was a bond between him and the kind of work he had chosen. Nothing else was so attractive to him. He would rather draw a little less money and do what he liked to do, than a little more and do what irked him. The "maker" is always thus influenced by his liking.

Not so the "getter." It doesn't matter what he does, so long as the income is satisfactory. He has no illusions, sentiments or affections on the side of work. It is the "geld" that counts. He has no attachment for the things he makes, for he doesn't make any; he deals in the things which other men make and regards them solely on the side of their money-making value. "The joy of creative labor" is nothing to him, not even an intelligible saying.

Now, previous to the advent of Jewish socialistic and subversive ideas, the predominant thought in the labor world was to "make" things and thus "make" money. There was a pride among mechanics. Men who made things were a sturdy, honest race because they dealt with ideas of skill and quality, and their very characters were formed by the satisfaction of having performed useful functions in society. They were the Makers. And society was solid so long as they were solid. Men made shoes as exhibitions of their skill. Farmers raised crops for the inherent love of crops, not with reference to far-off money-markets. Everywhere THE JOB was the main thing and the rest was incidental.

The only way to break down this strong safeguard of society -- a creative laboring class of sturdy character -- was to sow other ideas among it; and the most dangerous of all the ideas sown was that which substituted "get" for "make."

With the required manipulation of the money and food markets, enough pressure could be brought to bear on the ultimate consumers to give point to the idea of "get," and it was not long before the internal relations of American business were totally upset, with Jews at the head of the banking system, and Jews at the head of both the conservative and radical elements of the Labor Movement, and, most potent of all, the Jewish Idea sowed through the minds of workingmen. What Idea? The idea of "get" instead of "make."

The idea of "get" is a vicious, anti-social and destructive idea when held alone; but when held in company with "make" and as second in importance, it is legitimate and constructive. As soon as a man or a class is inoculated with the strictly Jewish idea of "getting" -- ("getting mine"; "getting while the getting is good"; honestly if you can, dishonestly if you must -- but get it" -- all of which are notes of this treasonable philosophy), the very cement of Duncan society loses its adhesiveness and begins to crumble. The great myth and fiction of Money has been forced into the place of real things, and the second step of the drama can thus be opened up.

Jewish influence on the thought of the working-men of the United States, as well as on the thought of business and professional men, has been bad, thoroughly bad. This is not manifested in a division between "capital" and "labor," for there are no such separate elements; there is only the executive and operating departments of American business. The real division is between the Jewish Idea of "get" and the Anglo-Saxon idea of "make," and at the present time the Jewish idea has been successful enough to have caused an upset.

All over the United States, in many branches of trade, Communist colleges are maintained, officered and taught by Jews. These so-called colleges exist in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Rochester, Pittsburgh, New York, Philadelphia and other cities, the whole intent being to put all American labor on a "get" basis, which must prove the economic damnation of the country. That is the end sought, as in Russia.

Until Jews can show that the infiltration of foreign Jews and the Jewish Idea into the American labor movement has made for the betterment in character and estate, in citizenship and economic statesmanship, the charge of being an alien, destructive and treasonable influence will have to stand.

Nomi965, you are quoting from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a text proved to be a forgery many decades ago. If you are basing your opinions on this text, why should anyone give any consideration to what you speak, think, write, or teach? Indeed, why do you?

no i am not basing my opinion on protocols of zion.i only mentioned them in post no 12 that too is a small paragraph.
you are right with your opinion towards protocols but also read the opinions of other people

-Mr. Henry Ford, in an interview published in the New York WORLD, February 17th,
1921, put the case for Nilus tersely and convincingly thus: "The only statement I care
to make about the PROTOCOLS is that they fit in with what is going on. They are
sixteen years old, and they have fitted the world situation up to this time. THEY FIT IT
NOW." Indeed they do!

-The present successor of Herzl, as leader of the Zionist movement, Dr. Weizmann,
quoted one of these sayings at the send-off banquet given to Chief Rabbi Hertz on
October 6, 1920. The Chief Rabbi was on the point of leaving for HIS Empire tour of
H.R.H., the Prince of Wales. And this is the "saying" of the Sages which Dr. Weizmann
quoted: "A beneficent protection which God has instituted in the life of the Jew is that
He has dispersed him all over the world." (JEWISH GUARDIAN, Oct. 8, 1920.) Now
compare this with the last clause of but one of Protocol XI. "God has granted to us, His
Chosen People, the gift of dispersion, and from this, which appears to all eyes to be
our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the
threshold of sovereignty over all the world."

-"Whence come this uncanny note of prophecy, prophecy in part
fulfilled, in parts far gone in the way of fulfillment? Have we
been struggling these tragic years to ... extirpate the secret
organization of German world dominion only to find underneath it,
another, more dangerous because more secret? Have we ... escaped
a Pax Germanica only to fall into a Pax Judaeica?
The Times, London, May 8th, 1920

-"Upon that much-vexed subject the authenticity of ... The
Protocols of Zion we shall not enter, except to say that if the
document is a forgery, as alleged, then it is one of the most
remarkable in the history of literature."
The Spectator, London, October 16th, 1920

-"Those who feel libeled by the Protocols have the most
obvious remedy in the world; all they have to do is to ruse and
denounce the policy of them, instead of denying the
authorship ... But when you come to read them how can any reasonable
man deny the truth of what is contained in them??
Norman Jaques, M.P.,
in Canadian House of Commons, July 9th, 1943

-"On the one hand, the authenticity of this document cannot
be proved; on the other hand, the efforts made by some writers,
principally Jewish, to show it to be a forgery do not carry
conviction to many serious minds."
The Rev. Denny Fahey, C.S.Sp., B.A., D.D., 1939

-"Whosoever was the mind that conceived them possessed a
knowledge of human nature, of history, and of statecraft which is
dazzling in its brilliant completeness, and terrible in the
objects to which it turns its power. It is too terribly real for
fiction, too well sustained for speculation, to deep in its
knowledge of the secret springs of life for forgery."
The Dearborn Independent, July 10th, 1920.

-"In the desires of a terrible and formidable sect, you have only
reached the first stages of the plans it has formed for that general Revolution
which is to overthrow all thrones, all altars, annihilate all
property, efface all law, and end by dissolving all society."
The Abbe Barruel (1797) writing on the Anti-Christian Conspiracy.

-"Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately it is bound to
spread in one form or another all over Europe and the whole world, as it is
organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality and whose object is to
destroy for their own ends the existing order of things."
British Government White Paper, Russia No. 1 (1919)

-"There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international
movement controlled by Jews; communications are passing between the leaders
in America, France, Russia and England, with a view to concerted action."
Directorate of Intelligence, Home Office, Scotland Yard, London,
in a Monthly Report to Foreign Embassies, 16th July, 1919.

-"This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-
Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun
(Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States),
this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the
reconstitution [reconstruction] of society on the basis of arrested development,
of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily
growing."
Winston Churchill in Illustrated Sunday Herald, 8th February, 1920.

so i recommend the members of this forum that please give a look to this anti Semite and forged protocols.

and solomon what about post no 10.
i hope we have some good discussion.

you are right with your opinion towards protocols but also read the opinions of other people -

So you confess it is a forgery but nonetheless continue to employ it, pointing how it may have influenced other people? Or are you backtracking and trying to claim that it is merely my opinion that the Protocols are a forgery and they should be taken as gospel nonetheless?
