Chris Hedges – The Unz Review Nov 5, 2023
I covered the birth of Jewish fascism in Israel. I reported on the extremist Meir Kahane, who was barred from running for office and whose Kach Party was outlawed in 1994 and declared a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States. I attended political rallies held by Benjamin Netanyahu, who received lavish funding from rightwing Americans, when he ran against Yitzhak Rabin, who was negotiating a peace settlement with the Palestinians. Netanyahu’s supporters chanted “Death to Rabin.” They burned an effigy of Rabin dressed in a Nazi uniform. Netanyahu marched in front of a mock funeral for Rabin.
Prime Minister Rabin was assassinated on Nov. 4, 1995 by a Jewish fanatic. Rabin’s widow, Lehea, blamed Netanyahu and his supporters for her husband’s murder.
Netanyahu, who first became prime minister in 1996, has spent his political career nurturing Jewish extremists, including Avigdor Lieberman, Gideon Sa’ar, Naftali Bennett, and Ayelet Shaked. His father, Benzion — who worked as an assistant to the Zionist pioneer Vladimir Jabotinsky, who Benito Mussolini referred to as “a good fascist” — was a leader in the Herut Party that called on the Jewish state to seize all the land of historic Palestine. Many of those who formed the Herut Party carried out terrorist attacks during the 1948 war that established the state of Israel. Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook and other Jewish intellectuals, described the Herut Party in a statement published in The New York Times as a “political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to Nazi and Fascist parties.”
There has always been a strain of Jewish fascism within the Zionist project. Now it has taken control of the Israeli state.
“The left is no longer capable of overcoming the toxic ultra-nationalism that has evolved here,” Zeev Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor and Israel’s foremost authority on fascism, warned in 2018, “the kind whose European strain almost wiped out a majority of the Jewish people.” Sternhell added, “[W]e see not just a growing Israeli fascism but racism akin to Nazism in its early stages.”
The decision to obliterate Gaza has long been the dream of Israel’s crypto-fascists, heirs of Kahane’s movement. These Jewish extremists, which make up the ruling coaltion government, are orchestrating the genocide in Gaza, where hundreds of Palestinians are dying daily. They champion the iconography and language of their homegrown fascism. Jewish identity and Jewish nationalism are the Zionist versions of blood and soil. Jewish supremacy is sanctified by God, as is the slaughter of the Palestinians, who Netanyahu compared to the Biblical Ammonites, massacred by the Israelites. Enemies — usually Muslims — slated for extinction are subhuman who embody evil. Violence and the threat of violence are the only forms of communication those outside the magical circle of Jewish nationalism understand. Millions of Muslims and Christians, including those with Israeli citizenship, are to be purged.
A leaked 10-page document from the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence dated Oct. 13, 2023 recommends the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
It is a grave mistake not to take the blood curdling calls for the wholesale eradication and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians seriously. This rhetoric is not hyperbolic. It is a literal prescription. Netanyahu in a tweet, later removed, described the battle with Hamas as a “struggle between the children of light and the children of darkness, between humanity and the law of the jungle.”
These Jewish fanatics have begun their version of the final solution to the Palestinian problem. They dropped 12,000 tons of explosives on Gaza in the first two weeks of assault to obliterate at least 45 percent of Gaza’s housing units, according to the U.N.’s humanitarian office. They have no intention of being detoured, even by Washington.
“It became evident to U.S. officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were an acceptable price in the military campaign,” The New York Times reported.
“In private conversations with American counterparts, Israeli officials referred to how the United States and other allied powers resorted to devastating bombings in Germany and Japan during World War II — including the dropping of the two atomic warheads in Hiroshima and Nagasaki — to try to defeat those countries,” the paper continued.
The goal is a “pure” Israel, cleansed of Palestinian contaminants. Gaza is to become a wasteland. The Palestinians in Gaza will be killed or forced into refugee camps over the border in Egypt. Messianic redemption will take place once the Palestinians are expelled. Jewish extremists call for the Al-Aqsa mosque – the third holiest shrine for Muslims, built on the ruins of the Jewish Second Temple, which was destroyed in 70 CE by the Roman army – to be demolished. The mosque is to be replaced by a “Third” Jewish temple, a move that would set the Muslim world alight. The West Bank, which the zealots call “Judea and Samaria,” will be formally annexed by Israel. Israel, governed by the religious laws imposed by the ultra-orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties, will be a Jewish version of Iran.
It is a short step to total Israeli control over Palestinian land. Israel’s illegal Jewish settlements, restricted military zones, closed highways and army compounds have seized over 60 percent of the West Bank, turning Palestinian towns and villages into ringed ghettos. There are over 65 laws which discriminate directly or indirectly against Palestinian citizens of Israel and those living in the occupied territories. The campaign of indiscriminate killing of Palestinians in the West Bank, many by rogue Jewish militias, along with house and school demolitions and the seizure of remaining Palestinian land will explode. Over 133 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by the Israeli army and Jewish settlers since the Oct. 7 incursion by Hamas and thousands of Palestinians have been rounded up by the Israeli military, beaten, humiliated and imprisoned.
Israel, at the same time, is turning on “Jewish traitors” who refuse to embrace the demented vision of the ruling Jewish fascists and who denounce the horrific violence of the state. The familiar enemies of fascism — journalists, human rights advocates, intellectuals, artists, feminists, liberals, the left, homosexuals and pacifists — are already being targeted. The judiciary, according to plans put forward by Netanyahu, will be neutered. Public debate will wither. Civil society and the rule of law will cease to exist. Those branded as “disloyal” will be deported.
Fascists do not respect the sanctity of life. Human beings, even from their own tribe, are expendable to build their deranged utopia. The zealots in power in Israel could have exchanged the hostages held by Hamas for the thousands of Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons, which is why the Israeli hostages were seized. And there is evidence that in the chaotic fighting that took place once Hamas militants entered Israel, the Israeli military decided to target not only Hamas fighters, but the Israeli captives with them.
“Several new testimonies by Israeli witnesses to the October 7 Hamas surprise attack on southern Israel adds to growing evidence that the Israeli military killed its own citizens as they fought to neutralize Palestinian gunmen,” Max Blumenthal writes in The Grayzone.
Tuval Escapa, a member of the security team for Kibbutz Be’eri, Blumenthal notes, set up a hotline to coordinate between kibbutz residents and the Israeli army.
Escapa told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that as desperation began to set in, “the commanders in the field made difficult decisions – including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages.”
The newspaper reported that Israeli commanders were “compelled to request an aerial strike” against its own facility inside the Erez Crossing to Gaza “in order to repulse the terrorists” who had seized control. That base housed Israeli Civil Administration officers and soldiers.
Israel, in 1986, instituted a military policy called the Hannibal Directive, apparently named for the Carthaginian general who poisoned himself rather than be captured by the Romans, following the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah. The directive is designed to prevent Israeli troops from falling into enemy hands through the maximum use of force, even at the cost of killing the captured soldiers and civilians.
The directive was executed during the 2014 Israeli assault on Gaza known as Operation Protective Edge. Hamas fighters on Aug. 1, 2014 captured an Israeli officer, Lt. Hadar Goldin. In response, Israel dropped more than 2,000 bombs, missiles and shells on the area where he was being held. Goldin was killed along with over 100 Palestinian civilians. The directive was supposedly rescinded in 2016.
Gaza is the start. The West Bank is next.
Israelis who cheer on the Palestinian nightmare will soon endure a nightmare of their own.

What has happened to NZs former PM…..she seems to have vanished from the news.
How many Kiwis know that NZs unfavourable tyranny is currently in the Cook Islds attending some Pacific conference?.
Before that the liar was in Singapore.
Conclusion….just like in totalitarian states the NZ media in cooperation the NZ Government has arbitrarily decided to keep Ardern out of the News.
And guess what,there is no one in the media who will speak up.
If NZers are not concerned about this,they should be.
Recall the five million dollars deposited in an Hungarian bank….from the Americas Cup Campaign.
This briefly made the news then overnight no further news ever made it to the light of day.
NZers could flood the six o’clock news bulletins asking about this…..not that it would make much difference,however it could slow down these pricks from constantly advertising just how marvellous job they’re doing.
Very well written.
Hedges must also report the Oct.7 Hamas attack was a false flag by the israeli government to justify the genocide of all Palestinians.

It’s all just business. I saw a news report that Israel has already signed contracts with, among others, BP to develop Gaza gas fields. That’s all you need to know.
The Israeli attitudes will leak into Europe, I hope, and we stop treating all the invaders as our friends

That’s all well and good, but what “excuse” exists for the rest?
those of the fake tribe of yore that have been kicked out of hundreds of countries
having been caught wrecking those countries..
surely “you shall know them by their fruit” is more applicable
in view of their antics over thousands of years?
reading articles like this one could unwittingly surmise that their evility were a fairly recent aberration
rather than an SOP employed by them since time immemorial.

Another idiot terming it ‘fascism’, when in reality its Jewish Communism.

WE ARE ALL PALESTINIANS NOW !
Notice the Christians & Commies, like the author of this article, are trying to equate Judeo-Zionism with Nazism, by attaching the Star of David to the colors/design of the Nazi flag. When in fact, Bolshevism or the hammer & sickle is a more accurate representation of Judeo-Zionism than the semiology & philology of Fascism/Nazism.
You say the man was funded by “right wing Americans.” Surely you mean right wing Jews who live in America, for only such people would do that and they are Jews, not Americans, nor will they ever be Americsns, as no Jew is an Amerian.
Not sure if “right wing” is the proper term for them either. Can see Dr. William Pierce funding a Jew? Adolf Hitler? Me neither.
Conservative: “As if the left in Israel is any solution? Read “The Life of an American Jew Living in Israel” and you will find that it is essentially a communist state run by Ashkenazi Bolsheviks. Let us then quit the name calling and recognize whether you want to call the Zionists running the Israel, the US, and the UK “communists” or “fascists” they are among the most vile, dishonest, cruel and ruthless people the world has ever seen.
Zionist: “Vile, dishonest, cruel and ruthless, you don’t like? How else are we to get ahead?”
Conservative: “Yes, but we will not like you anymore.”
Zionist: “So what? You don’t like us anyway.”
Conservative: “But what you are doing reflects badly on all of the Jewish people.”
Zionist: “Oh, so you are saying that because we get rid of the Muslim squatters in our land who are multiplying like rabbits, and who hate us far more that the goyim of Hitler, that the world will turn against us?”
Conservative: “Yes, I do.”
Zionist: “But that would be antisemitic, and you can’t do that. Israel is here to stay and we can get rid of all those we find undesirable, and you people will have to agree no matter what we do.”
Conservative: “Why is that?”
Zionist: “Because your nations are run and owned by the same money power which runs and owns us, and because your nations agreed to put us here in the midst of a very vile, dishonest, cruel and ruthless Muslim people who would chop your heads off if they had a chance, and you wanted us here mainly to have a legitimate Western base or foothold for all of the oil in the area. Do you think all of the pansy Jewish moralists like Einstein on the left or the right with your olive branches and good will, would have been able to conquer this land and do the job were told to do? No, we are here now to stay and we will expand using the same money power and from time to time we will exercise our ruthlessness to do what we find as necessary. ”
Conservative: “Is that not what is wrong with the entire world?”
Zionist: “That is the way the world had always been run. Whomever has the most money will have the most of everything including, including armies, lands, and power over people. That is what we are very good at doing, and in fact better than anyone else on the planet. It is your jealousy and hate for us so united, and despite our internal differences, we are still very united and you are not.”
Conservative: “But this time, despite all of your efforts through your control of the media and our governments to divide us, the truth is bringing us together. The world is not with you and what you are doing will harm your people.”
Zionist: “Yadda, yadda, yadda. That’s what we heard back in 1948 when we first conquered the place. Even when we did 9/11 and pushed for the war to conquer Iraq, and your nations killed a half million Iraqi women and children, the world did not care, and besides, you got all of the oil. You people in the US and the UK are very good at turning a blind eye to those sorts of things. The fact is that you don’t give a rap about our people.”
Conservative: “But the way you are going, it will lead to another world war.”
Zionist: “No it won’t, and the reason is that the money power controls most of the nations in the world, and they will all fall into line with the humanitarians in the West taking in all of the scum we are expelling from our land.”

@Phil Thibegga;
Correction:
The love of money is the root of all evil. Quit misquoting Biblical scripture; I Timothy 6:10
Money is an inanimate object. It can’t do anything in of itself. Lay a couple hundred dollars on a table; it will achieve nothing but deteriorate for over time. But who ever picks up the two hundred dollars will use it for the intended purposes of their heart.
Same with guns; same logic applies.
Nico X: ‘Bolshevism or the hammer & sickle is a more accurate representation of Judeo-Zionism than the semiology & philology of Fascism/Nazism.’
EXACTLY.
So now the talmudists fancy themselves as ‘fascists’. That’s like Judas Iscariot fancying his suicide as having died for the redemption of mankind.
nico x bang on mate 100% correct

@ Fred B (cont’d)
Conservative: “What I seemed to hear you say that it is It is the jealousy and hate by non-Jews against Jews which has kept your people so highly united, and despite your internal differences regarding Zionist methods. Does that not mean that you have an interest in maintaining a certain level of jealously and hate against Jews in order to retain your unity and exclusivity.”
Zionist: “Well, you may hate Zionists because you do not like us using the same methods against yourselves which your own nations used against native people in your conquered lands, but it is entirely hypocritical of you gentiles when we are engaged in using the same methods against people in our lands which we consider as outsiders. Secondly, because you people in the European and Anglo nations consented to and backed us in letting the Jewish people have their own homeland, then how can you agree also that over time the Muslim people will take the land back, and that the land is not for us?”
Conservative: “But there are now international conventions against ethnic cleansing and the colonial practices of the past. Secondly, in witnessing your ruthless methods we are now questioning why you should have an exclusive homeland which is also the homeland of millions of Palestinians, most of whom have lived their longer than your own antecedents. Why should you be entitled to a separate homeland when native people, and people of all racial, religious and ethnic backgrounds, including Jews, call their present nations their homelands?”
Zionist: “Where have you been? Look at the past. Look at the persecution in Nazi Germany.”
Conservative: “Well why not look at all of the nations which fought against and defeated Nazi Germany in which Jewish people call their homelands? You seem to think that by that persecution there is similar persecution by those nations which bled to stop such persecution, nations in which your people still call their homelands.
Zionist: “Well there is nothing wrong with dual citizenship these days and it was anti-Semitism which keeps rising up which must be suppressed.”
Conservative: “But it is by using such unfair, ruthless and usurping methods in your ethnic unity and exclusiveness against the people in the host nations whom you regard as stupid and inferior, and you must agree that is precisely that which leads to the jealously and hatred at the root of what you call anti-Semitism.”
Zionist: “We only have done and do what any other dominate people have done in the past.”
Conservative: “Yes, and you also find that any such jealousy and hatred you can exhibit helps to maintain your unity, exclusivity and advancement. Not only do you control the mainstream media, the legislatures, and the courts to ensure there is not any really damaging criticism against your interests, but also you actually create and allow just enough anti-Semitism to maintain your own distinctness, unity and loyalty.
Zionist: “Well as a dispersed people throughout the world, and not having a nation of our own to dominate in an ethnic manner, as say the English or the French have done, we are at a distinct disadvantaged and instead of focusing just on land, which by the way we were even prevented from owning in the past in your so-called “Christian” nations, we did have to use our various talents and financial skills to balance things. We became the leading bankers and money lenders and your nations never said ‘no’ to our loans. You should be grateful for the prosperity. How can you complain?”
Conservative: “But, now, and over the past few hundred years you have the same rights as anyone else in our nations. In fact, you appear even to have far more rights than anyone else, because it seems that we are all required to turn a blind eye to your methods. As for prosperity it was the Church in our civilization in the past and not the Jews which was the major patron of the arts, sciences, education, universities, and hospital care.”
Zionist: “Christianity is now pretty much a thing in the past. The so-called ‘Church’ is not even a moral force in the world and hardly a patron of anything major these days. There is a new patron and power on the block for most institutions including corporations, hospitals and universities and they are mostly Jewish. That has been the case for over a hundred years.”
Conservative: “So in controlling so much, and even the media and our governments for the most part, the Jewish hierarchy has taken over the ancient powers of the Church and the common people over things like morality?”
Zionist: “You said it.”
Conservative: “But if the Zionist view is that Jewish people are not subject to the same moral restraints as the naïve Goyim in the leading cultures in the West, then you must admit that the lending by the Jewish money power has likely fostered as many wars, crimes, amoral norms as it has prevented. You would also likely agree that sewing and funding divisions on both sides of disputes even between what is considered as good and evil by most people in the various host nations, has very little to do with promoting the common good, but is rather simply serving your interest to dominate through exclusive gains.”
Zionist: “Well, that may be your way of looking at things, but even if we were to admit it, which we will not, how could you ever prove it when you say we control such much and there is no official opposition. Such allegations would be considered as a kind of heresy these days. In any case, now that we are so influential in your nations, as you admit, we can proceed more unhindered in building our own.”
Conservative: “But with a history of your chief benefactors in the UK, the EU and the US having nurtured the communist movements around the globe, as was well as deficit financing to debt-rigg, and cultural Marxism to eradicate religious influences, family values and conventional morality, we are to trust you in wielding your powers over such things as the existence of our nation states, and our basic rights, even over the right to life?”
Zionist: “Do you have a choice?”
Conservative: “With what is going on in Palestine and what is coming to light with the Covid vaccines where various elites in our governments, in our courts, and executives in pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer were exempt, while their employees were given placebos, we have to suspect that with Jewish people controlling so much and being controlled essentially by the Zionist methods that the people of Israel may also have been exempt.”
Zionist: “Now, that in my view is an anti-Semitic accusation, and I can assure you that whether or not there is any truth in it that it will be suppressed.”

Former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is now a Harvard University visiting lecturer. She lectures on leadership. I can’t think of a more wonderful person to lecture on this subject. I bet those Kiwis and Maoris long for her gentle, guiding touch to manage their government, which has turned to shit and is irreversibly damaged if not destroyed. Another of Klaus’ girls, Klaus has mentored a number of our Cabinet level superstars like Buttegieg as well as Governor Newsom, Senator Cotton, and dearest Oprah, the person who made billions off fawning idiots who adored a woman who hates the native Hawaiian people and who likely regales the demolition of Lahaina. Klaus has such good taste.
