PA paper: Jews fan flames of evil

[Behind the Aegis]

A new article blaming Jews for "fanning the flames of evil and provoking wars" has appeared in the Palestinian Authority's official newspaper, Al Hayat Al Jadida.

It was written by Muhammad Khalifa, Executive Director of the United Arab Emirates-based Zayed Centre for Coordination and Follow-Up.

The article, published last week, and made available to Ynetnews by Palestinian Media Watch is filled with conspirational anti-Semitic rhetoric, in which Jews are said to be in control of a global stockmarket, plotting a third world war, and aiming for "global domination."

"There is one global stock market situated in New York, and it is controlled by Jews… In order for this idea to be realized, it was necessary to initiate wars, because wars are a customary (practice) of the Jews… as they did in the first and second World Wars," the article said.

"In conclusion, the role of the Jews in fanning the flames of evil, and fuelling the fire, and provoking wars - such as the war against Iraq – will inevitably cause the downfall of the American military power... and the beginning of World War III," it concluded.

1. We've all heard shit like this before.

The Holocaust never happened. Jews control the American media. The "Elders of Zion" secretly control the entire world.

And I have no doubt that many believe that if Israel were to be totally destroyed, all Islamic countries would immediately turn into democracies.

Jews have been scapegoated for over 2000 years for most (all?) of the world's evils. So I guess if there were no more Jews left, a new group of "Thems" would have to be found.

What's totally mind-boggling is that so many people keep buying the same bullshit time and time and time again, no matter how ofter it's spoon fed to them.

Geeez, I often wonder if intelligent life exists anywhere in the universe. It sure as hell doesn't exist on the planet we inhabit.

2. I thought the world financial center was now in London.

I wish they'd cease their fixation on NY.

3. Im going to only say something one time in a form of a question...

Is it wrong to criticize Israel because it is a Jewish state and therefore you become anti-semitic?

Israel needs to be looked upon as a country. Not Jewish first. When will atonement for the holocaust be enough to let the rest of the world be peaceful? Do the innocents continue to suffer because of powerful dickheads and this is across boarders and religions and whaterver.

We are one people. We are all the same. We all bleed the same. We are humans... when do we show humanity?

4. I don't mean to be insulting . .

. . but this post is one of the most incomprehensible I have seen in a long time. Could you please edit it or re-phrase it so that your question - or point - is understandable? Thanks.

Note: Your last paragraph conveys some meaning. But, I can't find one sentence in the first two paragraphs that makes any sense to me. Maybe you were in a hurry.

5. Allow me....

"Is it wrong to criticize Israel because it is a Jewish state and therefore you become anti-semitic? "

Short answer: no. Long answer: Sometimes. It is not wrong to criticize Israel. However, when using criticism that is reminiscent of the "Protocols" or Nazi propaganda, then yes, it is anti-Semitic, despite its disguise as "anti-Israeli." Look at the article I posted, it is not about Israel, is it? No. It is about Jews! To many, it isn't just about Israel being the problem, it is about Jews being the problem and Israel is a Jewish nation.

"Israel needs to be looked upon as a country. Not Jewish first."

Yes, Israel should be viewed as a country, but it's identity is also a big part of it.

"When will atonement for the holocaust be enough to let the rest of the world be peaceful?"

That question is grossly offensive! You have basically accused Israel of being responsible for the lack of peace in the world because of the Holocaust! Do you know what part of the "atonement" by the world was? It was a creation of a Jewish homeland! A homeland that has been in a constant state of war before she was even born. Some atonement! From day one, Israel has been attacked, threatened, and maligned. The attacks aren't always military ones. The attacks come in the form of UN resolutions. The attacks come in propaganda. For 60 years, Israel has been in a state of war, with thousands of attacks on her soil, yet, she is held responsible for all the ills in the Middle East, even the world, by some. That is disgusting and bigoted.

"Do the innocents continue to suffer because of powerful dickheads and this is across boarders and religions and whaterver."

Yes. And some of those innocents are Israelis and Jews.

There is a double-standard when it comes to Israel and it is displayed by both sides of the political spectrum.

6. i find it amusing is certain way.....

When will atonement for the holocaust be enough to let the rest of the world be peaceful?

...its not really "offensive".....its one of the "suckers" who have bought in to the one of the variations of the 'protocols of zion"...that israelis (or jews) are now responsable for the worlds ills. Stories fed by the arab nations, including the PA, (i wonder if the rwandas know that?..or those in Dfur, chechniya, tibet, west sahara, timor, falklands, etc.

amazing just amazing...and it still goes on.....

14. Huh?

Are you suggesting that atonement for the Holocaust (whatever the hell you mean by that) is directly connected to world peace? Great bonehead remark.

7. Zionists fan the flames of evil

That is just my opinion.

[pelsar]

8. yes us zionists are just evil.....

it was far better for the world when we were tossed into ovens, dug our own graves, had our heads loped off by the cossacks, be restricted to certain places and only in a few numbers. kicked out of various countries and otherwise kept our heads down...

real bummer that we decided that "were not going to take it anymore"...buy hey, thats just us....its a new world, you might try getting used to this new version....were pretty good and inventing new technologies that save lives, make lives better, improve quality of lives and because people are still trying to kill us, kick us out etc (not much has changed in the last 2,000 years has it?), we've also learned how to defend ourselves pretty good too.

[cali]

9. That's an awfully broad brush

you're using. As I understand it, a Zionist is simply one who supports the existence of a homeland for the Jewish people. How does that automatically indicate that such a person "fans the flames of evil"?

Looking forward to, but not expecting a response.

11. Be that as it may, either

this was or was not published in the PA paper. I'm sure you condemn the sentiments expressed in it, and are not merely trying to deflect away from them.

[Lithos]

13. Englander

The Zayed Center is a bad one. While it started out a supporter of pan-Arabism under the influence of people like Mr. Khalifa became a leading center for the spread of anti-Semitism.

The editors should have known of the reputation.

15. I have no doubt that's correct.

That the Zayed centre are in the business of promoting anti-Semitism.
I just am sceptical that PMW would provide accurate details about what appears in al-hayat.

That this article also appears at FrontPage, & forums like 'RaptureReady', & forums that propagate
Revisionist propaganda & repeat libellous statements, repeatedly, makes me think the claim might
not be that accurate. If a credible source says this appeared in al-hayat, then I'll believe it, but
I don't really consider PMW to be credible in that regard.

[Lithos]

12. Interesting

The Zayed Centre was closed in 2003 by orders of the UAE government after severe controversy over it's increasing anti-Semitic leanings. I wonder if Mr. Khalifa is pushing old credentials or this is a republication of an old article.

16. Something will be dredged up if fresh material cannot be found.

Those who hate feed on each other, and they will not be denied their chosen diet simply because there is nothing fresh to be had.

17. reminds me of the israeli press.....

if nothing is happening they'll go find something that happend 40 years ago....and start it up all over again (israelis are addicted to crises....)
