To follow the pseudo-leftist view on the Middle East, one would think that the conflict began in 1948, when a bunch of armed "terrorists" booted out the British and established what has come to be called a "Jewish state"--Israel--whose existence, according to their claims, unfairly disenfranchised "the Palestinians."
Not only does this characterization of events greatly distort the historical record, but it conflates a number of unrelated terms, with the aim of advancing a particular point of view.
Long before the Romans showed up and renamed sections of the desert to suit their imperial fantasy, the Levant had been a battleground for many nomadic tribes, among them the Hebrews, whose history is traced back about 5780 years. The Hebrews have been invaded, enslaved, and exiled four times in their history, by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, and the Romans. After each exile, the Hebrews returned to the Levant.
Approximately 3760 years into Jewish history, the prophet that we call Jesus (a Latinized version of the Hebrew Ee-ah-sh-oo-ah) was crucified for sedition. If Jesus had blasphemed the Jewish scriptures, as the Romans later claimed, he would have been stoned to death; nevertheless, this version of events was cemented into the canon in 325 CE to facilitate the adoption of Christianity by the Roman Empire and to justify the destruction of the Jewish state (the Romans, renamed Israel [which they called Judea] by making it part of Syria Palestina (Palestina being the Roman term for the Philistine states, what is now Gaza) and the Diaspora. The shift of blame, from the Romans to the Jews, is the root cause of the persecution of the Jews (forced conversions, torture, asset seizures, expulsions, inquisitions, jihads, pogroms, murder, etc.) that leads directly to the Holocaust.
Persecution of the Jews by self-described Christians continues to the present. Additional elements of this can be seen in longstanding Christian dogma which insists that all those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior are blasphemers who can then be summarily tortured and burned at the stake, or in the case of the Roman Church's collusion with the Nazis, exterminated in crematoriums.
While Pope John Paul II apologized in 1998 for the Church's role in the persecution of the Jews, he failed to mention the Holocaust. Even as the Church apologizes to the Jews (see Vatican II's Nostra Aetate, which essentially claims that the heavily edited "New Testament" is the historical record from that period), it does so only in the context of Christian dogma and never comes clean regarding the original fabrication that the Jews lobbied for Jesus' death. Jesus was crucified a few days after driving the money changers from the Temple, in 33 AD, when EVERY MEMBER OF THE ROMAN SENATE WAS A USURER. 1
Like Christianity, Islam claims to be the rightful heir to the G-d of the Torah (the so-called Old Testament), as well as that same presumed G-d in the Christian bible (the so-called New Testament). It's worth noting that both Christianity and Islam are proselytizing religions, compelled to conquer and convert, whereas Judaism is not.
From the beginning, Mohammad had no issues with the wholesale slaughtering of Jews and others:
626 CE: The Jewish tribe of al-Nadir crushed and expelledIslam's persecution of the Jews was inherited with its acceptance of the Christian bible, as edited by Constantine's propagandists; and, just like Christianity, this led to Islam's embrace of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, with their own SS brigade, personally reviewed by Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem, to contribute to the extermination of the Jews.
627 CE: The Jewish tribe of Quarayzah raided by Mohammed
628 CE: The Treaty of Hudaybiyya; truce with the Quraysh, who recognize Mohammed's right to proselytize without hindrance
629 CE: The Jews of Khaybar put to the sword. Mohammed send letters and messengers to the Kings of Peria, Yemen, and Ethiopia and the Emperor Heraclius, inviting them to accept Islam.
—The Koran, translated with notes by N.J. Dawood, Penguin Books, London, 1993, p. 7.
In an address to the Muslim troops, the Mufti put Islam and Nazism on the same level, claiming there were "considerable similarities between Islamic principles and National Socialism."2 While the leadership of Iran has repudiated former President Ahmadinejad's remarks that the Holocaust is a myth, his claim that this was a European issue (i.e., that Muslims were not involved) has never been addressed, while the collaboration of Islam and Nazis continues today. Additionally, Islamic states have systematically driven Jews to leave their homes; yet, only "Israel" is accused of Apartheid (despite the fact that Ashkenazi Jews have Semitic markers in their genome, which testing has shown to be the case).
Now, for a moment, put aside what is, in actuality, a religious war, between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism and consider another war, between the usurers and the rest of humanity.
First, it's worth noting that Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all reject usury:
Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest. —Deuteronomy 23:20-21In essence, what this means is that those who practice usury are not practitioners of any religion other than the worship of mammon, the golden calf, the "almighty dollar," etc.: they are idol worshipers, metaphorically doing the work of the devil (our shadow, the unbridled instincts), because, as we have shown here and here, usury enslaves labor and steals the fruits of labor. This is why there is a story of Jesus using a whip to drive the moneychangers out of the Temple, while calling them "Thieves!"If you have money, do not lend it at interest, but give it to one from whom you will not get it back. —The Gospel of Thomas (95). (The Gospel of Thomas (and other texts found at Nag Hammadi [Gnostic Gospels] and Qumran [Dead Sea Scrolls]) predates the text that were edited and synthesized by Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon (3rd Century CE) and the Council of Nicaea (4th Century CE) to form what is currently used as the Christian Bible.)
Those who charge usury are in the same position as those controlled by the devil's influence. This is because they claim that usury is the same as commerce. However, God permits commerce, and prohibits usury. Thus, whoever heeds this commandment from his Lord, and refrains from usury, he may keep his past earnings, and his judgment rests with God. As for those who persist in usury, they incur Hell, wherein they abide forever. —Qur'an, Al-Baqarah 2:275
As it turns out, the usurers have leveraged their mathematical trick—passed down from the goldsmiths who illegally used their clients' assets to loan money (counterfeiting) and then to the "licensed" central banks that have usurped sovereignty by gaining control over money creation—into control over the key corporations, governments, resources, and assets on the planet.
What this means is that the United States, Israel, and most other nations (including the UK, France, and Saudi Arabia) are simply public sector organizations owned and operated by the banks and their corporations.
Following 9/11 and the destruction of various Islamic states across Asia, Arabia, and North Africa—all of which owned their own central bank and currency—there are only five nations left that still control their own central bank and currency: Syria, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Sudan. Do you recognize that list? The first five are considered rogue states by the bank-owned nations, the designation of which provides an excuse to invade, conquer, and replace their sovereign banking and currency systems with a privately owned central bank that charges principal plus compound interest to the vassal government for the use of private bank notes.
Putting all of this together, we see that the Levant consists of three religions that have been at war for most of their existence, some nation states that are owned by the banks, and some nation states that still control their own central bank and currency.
Israel is a bank-owned public sector organization where the majority of people are of Jewish ancestry (and while there is an overlap between the objectives of the government and the people, they are not the same. For example, the protests in Israel when the banking cartel’s puppet, Netanyahu, sought to strip powers from the Supreme Court of Israel.)Syria and Iran are sovereign nations where Islam is predominant, and, in Iran's case, in control of the state.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan are public sector organizations, dominated by Muslims, but owned and operated by the banks.
The Palestinians are primarily Muslims who are used by other Muslim nations to maintain pressure on both the entity of Israel and the Jews that live there. Iran and Syria supply a variety of weaponry to the Palestinians, while the United States supplies a variety of weaponry to Israel.
Essentially, the Arab states and Palestinians do not recognize Israel's right to exist, and actually pay money for the slaughter of Jews. They have attacked Israel on various occasions, eventually losing land that they now want returned in exchange for "peace," despite the fact that their "Palestine" already exists; that is, as can be seen by the map on top, Philistine (the Arabic word for Palestine) was basically the same size and same place as present-day Gaza. Israel's superior weaponry (supplied by its bank-owned superior, the U.S.) acts somewhat as a deterrent for constant rocket attacks from Hezbollah and Hamas, supplied by Iran.
"This division of Bosnian Moslems, established with the help of Greater Germany, is an example for Moslems in all countries. There is no other deliverance for them from imperialist oppression than hard fighting to preserve their homes and faith. Many common interests exist between the Islamic world and Greater Germany, and those make cooperation a matter of course. The Reich is fighting against the same enemies who robbed Moslems of their countries and suppressed their faith in Asia, Africa, and Europe. ... Further, National Socialist Germany is fighting against world Jewry. The Koran says: 'You will find that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Moslems.' There are also considerable similarities between Islamic principles and those of National Socialism, namely in the affirmation of struggle and fellowship, in stressing leadership, in the ideas of order, in the high valuation of work. All this brings our ideologies close together and facilitates cooperation." —Speech to the Bosnian Muslim Waffen-SS Division by Muhammad Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, January 1944. Quoted in Joseph B. Schechtman, The Mufti and the Fuehrer: The Rise and Fall of Haj Amin el-Husseini (New York: Yoseloff, 1965), p. 139."When the Mohammedans attempted to penetrate beyond France and into Central Europe during the eighth century when they were driven back at battle of Tours. Had the Arabs won this battle, the world would be Mohammedan today. For theirs was a religion that believed in spreading the faith by sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. The Germanic people would have become heirs to that religion. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament." —Adolf Hitler quoted by Albert Speer, Inside the Third Reich, page 96.
"(Palestinians) won't allow Jews to contaminate, with their filthy feet, our holy sites ... every drop of blood that is spilled in Jerusalem is pure blood." —Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, October 2015
"Hezbollah and Nasrallah have become wildly popular in the Arab world. They unite Sunnis and Shiites in admiration for their opposition to Israel." —Hussein Ibish, executive director of the foundation for Arab-American Leadership.
"The notion that the Jews were somehow responsible as a people for the death of Jesus had now become an accepted part of the Christian tradition. Time had obliterated the fact that the early Christians were Jews, that Jesus himself was a Jew. And time had obliterated any consciousness that the Crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans was the response of Rome to a defiance of its authority." —Abba Eban, former Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister, Education Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Ambassador to the United States, Ambassador to the United Nations, Vice President of the United Nations General Assembly, and President of the Weizmann Institute of Science.
So, we see, this issue is not about Israel's or AIPAC's influence over the United States. Like everything that goes on Washington—the executive, legislative, and judicial branches—lobbying is just another charade. It is nothing more than a "legal" means for the banks to pay bribes for various services that were "contracted" beforehand.
The power structure, from the central bankers down to their control over the public sector organizations called the United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Israel (and their military and intelligence services, etc.), aim to maintain control over "the land of Israel," regardless of the conflicts that arise, whether or not Jews (who have exercised their "right of return" for the fourth time, following Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Roman enslavements, kidnappings, exiles, and diasporas) support this, or whether or not Muslims protest. So, despite the Islamic insistence on "blood rights" (a disingenuous argument at best, since the diasporas, and thus intermarriages, were a product of force), and the Semitic markers in the genome of European Jews, the issue is really one of faith, and the right to practice one's faith, without persecution (forced conversions, torture, asset seizures, expulsions, inquisitions, jihads, pogroms, etc.).
Yet the pseudo left continues to characterize the conflict in terms of nation-states, not as a war between the usurers and the people and as a religious war between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Among anti-Semites, of course, the U.S., Israel, Jews, Zionism, Rothschilds, and banking are all conflated and labeled as the same thing.
All political efforts since the establishment of Israel—Lausanne Conference (1949); Camp David Accords (1978); Madrid Conference (1991); Oslo Accords (1993 / 95); Hebron Protocol (1997); Wye River Memorandum (1998); Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum (1999); Camp David Summit (2000); Taba Summit (2001); Road Map (2003); Agreement on Movement and Access (2005); Annapolis Conference (2007)—have failed. Why? Because they sought to impose a political solution on a religious war.
The Muslims may convince many that their displacement is a travesty, but the history of Islamic-Judaic relations tells us that given the power balance in the other direction, the Muslims would do the same thing, as they did under Mohammed, with the Nazis, and with the expulsion of 850,000 Jews from Arab states, following the founding of Israel, on orders from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. As it is, the Muslims still control what they call the Noble Sanctuary and what the Jews call the Temple Mount, that is, the presumed one-time site of both the First and Second Temples, where the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock are now located. When the Muslims controlled the Old City, before the Six-Day War in June, 1967, Jews were not permitted access to the Western Wall. Today, under Israeli control, Jews now have access to the Old City, including the Western and Southern Walls, except the Temple Mount (Noble Sanctuary).
So, what other type of solution is possible?
The Middle East is just one part of the global crisis. Notwithstanding the complexity of global systems, it's easy to see how the criminal international banking cartel's control over most of the key assets on the planet is the root cause of most of our problems:
1. Governments are controlled by banks and corporations; verifiable voting no longer exists; the mass media is owned by the banks and corporations; and the police have been internationalized to serve as enforcers for the banks.
2. The money supply is manipulated so that there is not enough in circulation to sustain high employment and support the goods and services produced by labor
3. Alternate fuels are suppressed because profits are higher on fossil fuels
4. Wars and diseases are created for profit and to reduce the population
5. Divisions between political parties, religions, ethnicities, and nationalities are exploited to distract the masses from the root cause of global dysfunction.
Putting all this in the context of the Middle East, we see that a number of things must change for there to be peace:
1. Money must become a public utility and usury must be prohibited; then, price stability will be possible and the small group of people that currently control the world through ownership of money creation and credit regulation will be removed
2. Ill-gotten gains from control over the Federal Reserve, other private central banks, and worldwide financial and credit markets must be returned to the sovereign nations from which they were stolen
3. Verifiable paper ballot systems must be restored
4. Media ownership must be decentralized
5. Proselytizing must be prohibited.
And, finally, after these fundamentals are in place, the way to end the religious wars is for the religions to see that they are each using different names for the same thing, as is shown in Solomon's Proof.
What would this look like at the ground-zero tinderbox, that is, the Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary? If we look back to the times when the three Abrahamic religions ("the people of the book") lived in relative peace—9th to 14th centuries in Spain and the 15th to 19th centuries in Salonica, Greece, we can derive a proposition for what would permit a long-standing peace, for that is what we seek. And what we find is that such proposition is, in fact, an objective standard from "the book" itself: "... for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples," as Isaiah [56:7] prophesies.
Of course, we expect to hear from those who will say that to believe in such a scenario is utopian, but nay-saying is a self-fulfilling prophesy of failure. What we are proposing may have been considered idealistic at one time, but now it is necessary for the human race to survive. What we are calling for is nothing less than the next evolutionary step in human development. There are already rumblings of this beginning to shake the planet.
We must love one another or die.
