    In the American Village of Chelm

    What is going on across the sea?

    Perhaps the average Israeli, while sipping his morning coffee, is inured to terrorist attacks and threats from Arabs locally, but does he or she know what is going on across the sea in the United States, as the Arabs and their little Communist and anarchist pals in the ISM plot relentlessly the destruction of the Jewish State?
     
    The following took place just in one week in the US.
     
    Two major theaters announced they will stage the play “My Name is Rachel Corrie,” portraying the self-avowed
    Two major theaters announced they will stage the play “My Name is Rachel Corrie”.
    Evergreen College anarchist who actually went into the weapons smuggling tunnels to help retrieve a dead terrorist’s body, then died while playing chicken with a D-9 bulldozer demolishing those tunnels. Her parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, who instead of urging other college-aged radicals not to go to a military zone and act as a human shield for terrorists, are two slimeballs who tour the US on behalf of the International Solidarity Movement and the PLO, telling everyone
    how Israel “murdered” their daughter and encouraging other young morons to imitate her.
     
    Some “Jewish peace groups,” who even acknowledge her death is part of a propaganda ploy by the ISM and the Arabs, have no hesitancy trying to suggest Israel murdered her.
     
    One group that purports to being a “Jewish peace group” and not anti-Israel, but is a part of the ISM, meets regularly and cooperates with Al-Awda, a group that supports Hamas and the complete destruction of Israel as a Jewish state. The members of this group, “A Jewish Voice for Peace,” in the past have said the Second Temple is a myth, the Exodus is a myth, that the majority of Jews in Israel came from Europe after the Holocaust instead of the Arab countries, and has no qualms about appearing alongside groups that call for Israel’s complete annihilation, not just a withdrawal from the territories. The group is composed of Marxists who use their Jewish heritage (when its not fabricated) to promote the US Communist party’s manifesto to destroy Israel. They even distribute books where they say it is time to “reframe anti-Semitism.”

    The local Jewish Federation falls for this ploy and gives them access to the Federation’s facilities to propagandize against Israel and raise money to continue to do so. One fundraiser at the Jewish Community Center featured a photo of an Arab woman trying to grab a soldier’s rifle in the West Bank, but claimed the soldier was beating her up. The group was even given a booth at the yearly Israel in the Park event in San Francisco to recruit and raise funds.
     
    Just claim to be Jewish, then you can shill for the PLO and Hamas all you want through Jewish facilities in America. All you need to do is play the ISM game of claiming you are a “peace activist,” as you propagandize and raise funds for Jew-killers. The ISM planned this at their conferences as far back as 2003.
     
    I’ve gotten over 200 of the ISM deported from Israel, so I am a pariah over here among anti-Israel forces in the US for speaking frankly about their attempted destruction of Israel. When Condoleezza Rice calls Mahmoud Abbas a Martin Luther King and the Palestinians similar to US civil rights workers fighting Jim Crow, she is parroting what the ISM told her at some meeting.
     
    Last year, I convinced the UC Riverside campus to cancel Al-Awda-The Palestine Right of Return Coalition’s international conference on the campus. The conference is a training session in how to promote the killing and financial boycott of Israel’s Jews, stylized as “freedom of speech.” It’s also a place to encourage boycotting American businesses with Jewish managers. UC Riverside got embarrassed when I showed links between

    groups in alliance with Al-Awda and their equal hatred for Jews. A Jewish Voice for Peace supports and sponsors these conferences, in order to appear as if Jews agree with such anti-Semitism.
     
    The Hilton Hotel Corporation is on the Arab League boycott list that is promoted by Al-Awda. Despite this, one of Hilton’s subsidiaries, Embassy Suites, next to the Hilton Hotel in Anaheim, stepped in and accommodated the last Al-Awda conference. Hilton management stonewalled any evidence regarding what the conference was really about, advocacy for the destruction of Israel and to boycott and discriminate against not only Israelis, but American Jews.

    This year, Al-Awda announced their next international conference in May, keeping the locale a secret by announcing the event as another commemoration of the catastrophe of the founding of Israel 60 years ago and discussing new strategies to attack the Jewish state and American Jews who support her. Where is that secret venue to be?
     
    The Hilton Hotel in Anaheim, California. Where else?
     
    Al-Awda and this group of Marxists who front themselves as Jewish “peace activists,” staged a demonstration in front of the Israeli consulate in San Francisco. 150 anti-Israel activists showed up in the rain chanting in Arabic “Palestine is ours, and the Jews are our dogs!”; “With our souls and our blood we will redeem you, Oh, Palestine!”; “Palestine is Arab”; “Red, Yellow, black and white. We support Hamas’ fight!” A Jewish Voice for Peace organized the bulk of the anti-Israel protest, the so-called Marxist “Jews” standing right alongside the Arabs with their flags showing red fists dripping with blood - again.
     
    Sure, they are for “peace” and only want the “occupation” to end. The use of codespeak in the propaganda war against Israel is unending. Does anyone honestly believe these turkeys will stop supporting Al-Awda if Israel gives up all land outside the Green Line? If so, why do they attend conferences that declare memorializing the last 60 years of Israel’s existence as a Jewish state, instead of since 1967? The reason is because they are a front for the Arabs, pure and simple.
     
    As they say, once a loyal Communist, always a Communist. After all, Lenin said, “Truth must serve the Party.” Beware of Jewish wannabe Communists in America working alongside the communist PFLP, Hamas and the PLO to destroy your country from over here in America. Your country is the canary in the mine of democratic freedom and Jewish self-determination, an entity that is anathema to Jews turned Marxist wannabe revolutionaries who think they emulate Che and Fidel.
     
    Oh, yes, lest I forget about the number of pro-Israel supporters who showed up to counter-protest at the consulate, there were eight. And they insisted that nobody could distribute any fliers that had anything critical to say about Islam or Arabs, as it is not politically correct.
     
    So, how do Al-Awda, Jewish Voice for Peace, and these other ISM-affiliated groups afford all this activity? Well, the money doesn’t all come from the Arabs overseas. Most of it is raised, tax free, right here in the US. The
    How do Al-Awda, Jewish Voice for Peace, and these other ISM-affiliated groups afford all this activity?
    Internal Revenue Service sets up these anti-Semitic and anti-Israel groups as “educational foundations,” and prohibits them from engaging in lobbying and propaganda. Yet, despite copious evidence provided the IRS about violations of these strictures, the
    IRS does nothing to stop them. And I do mean nothing.

    Call it government-subsidized anti-Semitism in America, acceptable as long as you call Jews “Zionists” and say you are a “peace activist” as you cheer on the murder of Jews. It’s even more effective if you fool people into believing you are a Jew yourself. Why, even the Jewish Federation will give you space at pro-Israel events.
    Anyway, I must end this here. I have to get ready for the coming week. Enjoy your coffee.
     
    Note:
    On www.StoptheISM.com are three links to a show we produced demonstrating how the ISM manipulated photographs and lied about what happened the day of Rachel Corrie's death. We even have the IDF footage from when she was struck.
