Dave Brown for his picturing Prime Minister Sharon devouring a Palestinian child!Now let me say something about the moral and psychological situation inside Israel:
Israeli society is being torn apart by the incompatible interests of various Jewish groups inside and outside the country, by the Muslim world's hatred and Christian animosity, by the hostility of assimilated Jews who are ashamed of their roots, by the greed and complete indifference of the ruling elite.
The majority of the country's Jewish population understands and foresees the consequences of the national leadership's policy, but has no means to withstand the generously funded propaganda of the united forces of Arabs and the Israeli left aimed at destroying their country. Israel as a state has actually long lost its independence. Only the U.S. veto in the UN Security Council prevents a triumph of the anti-Israel coalition.
For decades, American public organizations, both Jewish and Christian, have been wiping our tears and soothing our wounds, subsidizing almost all existing projects. Without this help there would be no means for caring for our children and the elderly, for subsidizing basic food products, for pampering our elite and enriching our monopolists.
Without this help, the Jews would be probably working in their country instead of roaming all over the world in quest of happiness and nice salaries.
Without these cheap and mostly uncontrollable dollars generously pouring into public and private purses, Israeli society couldn't possibly have achieved its current state of moral, ideological, and financial misery.
Dear Ruth, please do come here, live beside us, confront our national bureaucracy -- and you will see the real face of our society and discover that this society's way of life is closer to that of the Third World than the Free World to which you are accustomed.
Isn't it an irony that Jewish partisans of democracy and human rights have created, in their own country, a concoction of East European and Bolshevik traits? This society faces the world with its European side, while maintaining an unbelievable mix of Bolshevism and the Orient in its internal life. A rationally thinking person simply cannot comprehend this sad paradox.
It becomes progressively harder for our government to keep secret the mass Jewish emigration from Israel. Just think about it -- Jews leaving Israel for Germany! In every large U.S. city there is a fast growing group of population whose native language is Hebrew. These two facts are enough to proclaim Israel's moral bankruptcy.
Dear Ruth, believe me -- there are many normal Jews in our country, even a few sages and idealists. They see, understand and live the tragedy of our people. It's a pity that Jews abroad spend their time and resources for teachings and sermons, when they could do something of which we the Israelis are incapable: to demand accountability from the Jewish -- and only Jewish -- government, and to name all those who fail in assuring our common future.
In friendship,
Ida Nudel
Editor's note: As the Bush administration promotes democracy as a good clearly both desirable for the Moslem world and desired by it, the view of democracy as actually "evil," held by a considerable body of Moslem intellectuals, goes unrecognized. The article excerpted below was written against the backdrop of local elections in Pakistan in 2001, supposed to be a step toward the end of military rule. Our thanks to the on-line site Horsefeathers for making this article available.
Finally, the military government also succumbed to the trap of democracy, which has been the undoing of previous governments. The international miscreants like IMF, World Bank, and the UN have purchased our minds for the dollars they give us like alms, and they are continuing their evil plan. What is that evil plan? What is that ploy to which the people and governments of Pakistan have succumbed alike? It is to create rifts and conflicts between people and to divide them along sectarian and ethnic lines. By doing so they want to defy the phenomenon of Muslim fraternity. For this difficult task they have come up with a very easy solution, that is, restoration of democracy.
Democracy is a wretched tree which was planted by the Jews.... It is a tree that has only poisonous effects. The Jews have designed the philosophy of democracy to destabilize other societies, particularly Muslim Ummah. The secret Jewish organization Free Masons pledged two hundred years ago to promote the philosophy of democracy to destroy the non-Jewish nations, and that they themselves would not adopt it....
No modest person likes to sing his own praises, much less to put up posters all over the area claiming to be the most honest, trustworthy, and sincere person and to make vociferous speeches to convince people of his rectitude. But it is a gift of Jewish politics that all loafers, brigands, and ruffians put on neatly pressed waist-coats and sherwanis and jump into the political arena. They use all fair and unfair means to convince people of their loyalty. Their canvassing looks more like a circus, going door to door, begging votes.
So the very act of nursing a desire to rule the people disqualifies a person. But in democracy, the political process begins with the desire for a certain office
