Eric Margolis – The Unz Review June 10, 2024
Watching the US Navy build a temporary pier in Gaza was a pathetic display of ineptitude and helplessness. It was a crass attempt by the Biden administration to deflect the storm of worldwide criticism over its encouragement of Israel’s far right government to crush Gaza to rubble. The pier fell apart due to poor construction and rough seas. I was reminded of America’s gallant fighting Seabees who build harbors and airports almost overnight during World War II.
To date, some 400,000 Gaza Palestinians have been killed by Israel using many US-supplied arms. Over half were women and children. A proud moment for the USA. Biden claims he was not involved in this mass killing.
Of course not. He just authorized delivery to Israel’s powerful air forces of building-busting 2,000 lb bombs that flatten entire blocks of apartments housing Palestinian refugees. This is not self-defence but mass murder. The World Court has demanded Israel cease its savaging of Gaza. The Biden administration has used its UN veto to block all attempts to curb Israel’s mass murder which Israel’s supporters say must be done to free scores of Jewish/Israeli hostages.
Meanwhile, other Palestinians on the Israeli-occupied West Bank are being gunned down or evicted from their homes by heavily armed Jewish settlers who see occupying Palestine as their God-given right. I have interviewed many of these militant settlers and found their views and actions beyond the pale. Many hale from Brooklyn or Queens. I was surrounded by these extreme nationalists – or Jewish fascists as the late great Israeli columnist Uri Avnery called them – last week in New York. They were showing their electoral and financial muscle.
Meanwhile, supporters of Israel’s far right are having a field day cracking the whip on scared politicians. The new House, speaker, Mike Johnson, has already invited Israel’s prime minister Bibi Netanyahu, to address the US Congress. Netanyahu is being denounced around the globe as a mass murderer and tyrant, but his wealthy US supporters – who largely fund the Democratic Party- are making sure that the US continues to see the Israeli dog wag of the US tail.
Candidate Trump has also lavished attention on Israel’s far right. Like some ancient Roman deity, Trump has told Israel it may have all of Galilee (Judea and Samara in Israeli speak), the old city of Jerusalem, Gaza, Golan and most of the West Bank. The biggest slice of donations to Trump’s campaign comes from the pro-Israel Adelson family that made its fortune in the sleazy gambling business. We are also told that Trump son-in-law plans a Vegas-style seaside resort in Gaza – minus its Arabs, of course.
This is risky business. When a single group seizes control of political and economic power the result can often be a huge backlash. Criticizing Israel may soon become a federal ‘hate’ crime, validating Voltaire’s famous bon mot that the person or groups that you are not allowed to criticize are the ones who really rule you.
Israel was created after World War I thanks to intense political and financial pressure by the Rothschild banking family. Today, defending Israel’s far right has been taken over by America’s big Wall Street financiers. Their money and the alliance with hard right evangelical groups will form the core of Trump’s support.
A small minority of American Jews once opposed Zionism, claiming it would draw the US into endless Mideast conflicts and debase historic Judaism, a religion of high ethics and intellectualism. Their most prominent leader was Rabbi Elmer Berger whose words were prophetic. Judaism is not about 2,000lb bombs.
Unfortunately, modern Zionism has become infected by adolescent nationalism, one of mankind’s worst traits. As a British historian wrote, ‘if patriotism is the last refuge of rogues, then nationalism is the first platform of fools.’
We should also remember that during the Middle Ages Jews were persecuted all over Europe, and most notably in Spain. The Jews who fled Christian persecution largely sought refuge in the Muslim nations. This coexistence could be restored if the real estate dev https://www.unz.com/emargolis/gaza-the-next-fort-lauderdale/elopers from Queens, New York, can be kicked out of politics.
This author is promoting co-existence between Jews and Muslims. Neither group has any claim to the Holy Land. The land was entrusted to those who accept Christ as the Messiah. God isn’t making concessions for non-believers.
Everything changed when Christ came. The scriptures were fulfilled. The clock was literally restarted.
The greatest triumph of both Jews and Muslims was getting Christians out of the discussion all together.
Rabbi Elmer Berger gave an interview in May 1989. He was getting on in years but was still quite vivid and intelligent. He died in 1996.
He was well aware Israel attacked Egypt in 1967 and the entire conflict in the Middle East was Israel’s doing. We are not now aware now how close the Arab and Islamic nations were to the West till relations were destroyed by the phony country called Israel.
Anyway, go here for the talk with Elmer Berger — a truly prophetic man.

In a war, it hardly makes sense to count corpses, “bean-counting” as Schwartzkopf called it, because war provokes a lot of breeding, as the DNA seeks to build its Army. “Palestinians” are more numerous than when Israel began killing them
Important question, why was the cult persecuted all over Europe. Was it because they kept themselves very secretive, dressing in black, in essence looking very much like evil doers. And never integrating with the rest of the nation’s citizens, and with much evidence pointing to kidnapping the nation’s children torturing and killing them to drain and drink their blood. The reason the nations wanted them to integrate and be part of the nation’s religion was so they can trusted- period. Bottom line, when you are a guest in other’s people nations, one has to integrate to a certain degree so you can be overall trusted. More, this cult does not originate from Europe, they originated from Turkish tribes, Central Asia, and even Mongolia including Babylon and Radha. Palestine belongs to Palestinians and of course anyone that can lives peacefully among the Palestinians.
“…if patriotism is the last refuge of rogues, then nationalism is the first platform of fools.”
Patriotism is not the last refuge of rogues. Therefore, according to the above assertion, nationalism is not the first platform of fools.
Saying something meaningless in the form of an aphorism to give it the appearance of authority is stupid.
He could have said, “Patriots are rogues. Nationalists are fools.” That has meaning, although it is not true.
But this author prefers the pseudo-profound pronouncement to truth. He even attempts a bit of wordplay himself, with “adolescent nationalism”.
This pro-Jewish propaganda piece is adolescent journalism.
“We should also remember that during the Middle Ages Jews were persecuted all over Europe, and most notably in Spain.” … And they f*cking deserved every bit of it, and more. They should have been eradicated for their actions and behaviors. Organized Jewry has been an aggressive malignant cancer and a pox upon humanity for 3000 years. The Jew has had countless opportunities over millennia to correct their abhorrent behavior, but they always choose to double down on their wicked ways rather than behave in an acceptable manner.
They are worse than ever, for practically every facet of the dystopian hell of satanic inversion in which humanity currently suffers can be traced to the machinations of the Jew. The worst of them, which is a good portion, deserve to be chased through the streets and slaughtered, while the rest rounded up and relegated to a remote island and forbidden to have any contact with the outside world under penalty of death. Wise men from generation after generation tried to warn us of the threat the Jew has always posed, the degradation and destruction they relentlessly foment, their parasitism and ceaseless subversion. Humanity is utterly doomed as long as Jewry is allowed to exist, for they have been literally hell-bent on the destruction of everyone and everything not of their satanic tribe of homicidal maniacs for 3000 years, which has always been their choice.
I’ve had my run ins with various christcucks over the years. The only proof they can produce for the existance of their ficticious god and his offspring is pasting endless verses from their holy babble.But I got neews for you. It’s just a fucking book and is not proof of anything. The only thing it proves is how insane jews actually are. Nuffin else.
Okay so now the ethnic group of talmudists will leave their luxury coastal properties (after selling them at top dollar) & flee ‘the wretched refuse of the teeming shores’ to swanky New Gaza!
They’re both squatters wrote ‘The land was entrusted to those who accept Christ as the Messiah.’
Could he possibly provide a quote from Jesus to support his argument?
I had no idea Jesus was so fixated on a piece of real estate.
Real patriotism is generally a good thing, so some scoundrels take advantage.
Nationalism is about ethnicity, not imaginary lines drawn by civic hucksters.
Where does this guy get his information?
@UMBRA BELLATOR
their souls stem from ET aliens . trickily
over centuries of inbreeding with male
aryan goyim they could hide their typical
hokenosy semitic faces so that they mostly
today look like normal european/american
white goyim . like th Rothschilds today look
like white goyim, adicional theiy changing their
names to the custom of the land they are living
in . best exemple : mexican new president miss
Scheinbaum. its of german origin, specialy the
Sch in the name is typical german , same with
Schwarz, also a typical german jewname .
their bodies were once semitic alien
but their spiritual souls stem from an
ET alien tribe still in their spirit to
conquer this planet for themself .
so, we whites + palestinians + hindus
better look for an other world in next life .
because realy where jews live we should
not live . STRICT APARTHEIT !
it is in vain to fight against this plague .
“But one of Johnson’s most oft-quoted lines is also one of his most misunderstood: ‘Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.’
This line is often interpreted as being a denunciation of patriotism per se, and has frequently been used by people who wish to dismiss any form of national pride. Using the authority of Johnson and his weighty apophthegm is simply a way to prop up this rather simplistic view.
In fact, if we place Johnson’s line in the context in which it originally appeared, we immediately see that this is a misunderstanding of what Johnson meant. For a start, Johnson didn’t say ‘patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel’ at all, according to Boswell (the original source for this quotation): he said ‘patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel’. That may not make any significant difference to the meaning, but the context does shed a different light on what Johnson meant:
Patriotism having become one of our topicks, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: ‘Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.’ But let it be considered, that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak for self-interest.
Boswell tells us that Samuel Johnson made this famous pronouncement that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel on the evening of April 7, 1775. A year earlier, Johnson had printed The Patriot, in which he stated that ‘A patriot is he whose publick conduct is regulated by one single motive, the love of his country; who, as an agent in parliament, has, for himself, neither hope nor fear, neither kindness nor resentment, but refers every thing to the common interest.’
This hardly sounds as if Johnson is describing a scoundrel. But this is because, when he declared that ‘patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel’, Johnson had in mind not patriotism but Patriotism.
The Patriot Party began life in 1725 as an offshoot of the Whig Party in Great Britain. They later became simply the Patriots, until they were disbanded in 1803. The group was formed in opposition to the ministry of Robert Walpole, the first de facto Prime Minister of Britain. William Pitt the Elder – who would later become Prime Minister himself – became a prominent member of the Patriot Party. This is the eighteenth-century context in which Johnson’s quotation must be read.
So, ‘patriotism is the last refuge of a [not the] scoundrel’ was not, in fact, a denunciation of patriotism in general but rather a very specific reference to what Johnson considered the false use of the term ‘patriotism’ by William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham. Johnson actually valued patriotism as an idea, but he was – probably quite rightly – suspicious of those who use the word to describe themselves without following up such a label with any meaningful actions.”

Knowing what happens to me when I go against God and Jesus, I would dread to think about the Jewish or Satanist fate, but I already know: they are stripped of all power and have to beg, steal or borrow ours. In 1900 the USA was the biggest White-and-Christian power, so the Jews flooded in to hi-jack it all, and still live off the USA (and Germany) in Israel. And Moslems look to get on the big dole in Western Europe, seeing Jesus as one of many Prophets and having (as Moslems) no power
The Wall Street financiers come under the Rothschilds’ umbrella. It was the New York bankers that funded the Bolsheviks, who overthrew the Russian Tsar’s government, and repaid many times over by spoils returned by the Bolsheviks. The same formed Israel, and it was not over any so-called religious right to the land, but about achieving great wealth at other’s expense.

This is why this financial cabal, the Khazarian Mafia (KM) of Israel wants the land rid of all Palestinian presence, because the indigenous Palestinians are the rightful owners of these resources. It is about the money, hence the theft of the land, destruction of life sustaining resources and murder, a continuation of:
The Zionist Christians have been hoodwinked into supporting this finanical cabal, because they too have received funding and support from the same. In 1979, the late Jerry Falwell, President of the Southern Baptist Convention received a Learjet as a gift from the government of Israel for his support of Israel. And, let us not forget John Hagee:

The article explains who these non-Christian Zionists are. Yet, the Christian Zionists, who apparently know little of what their Bible truly says, (otherwise they would not embrace Christian Zionism) apparent have not ears to hear these words:
Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. Deuteronomy 16:19 (YLT)
