I too appreciate your article responding to Zogby’s in regards to Rham Emanuel’s appointment. I posted Zogby’s article on Emanuel because it showed I was wrong when I made the assumption in an earlier post that Emanuel held dual U.S. – Israeli citizenship. When I saw your rebuttal on Peter Myer’s elist, I posted it immediately.

Now I’m most curious to know if you’ve ever researched Dr. Amitai Etzioni. He’s another former Israeli soldier (Palmach) who has been an advisor in the White House since 1979. Dr. Etzioni freely admits to holding duel U.S. – Israeli citizenship and being a former terrorist. Etzioni’s unit was charged with bringing Emanuel’s father’s “rogue” branch of the Irgun into the national army.

Many of Etzioni’s communitarian laws, programs and policies have been implemented across the United States, particularly Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). The U.S. now has a federal branch of “local” police who are trained in Israel, which is called the “Harvard of Anti-terrorism.” These new COPS sit on all local branches of regional to community government busy writing “local” (UN Local Agenda 21) visions for the future. These new COPS sit on new “local” citizen committees, and are quite busy writing behavior laws, revisions and land use regulations, which they also enforce.

What might make this research interesting to a man of your stature is Dr. Amitai Etzioni is the guru behind Obama’s “change.” His Communitarian Network had a direct hand in elevating Obama. Professor John McNight, signer of the Communitarian Platform and founder of a communitarian human development program called ABCD at Northwestern University, Illinois, was also the signatory on Barack Obama’s Harvard Law School application.

Thank you very much for your quality approach to discussing the most difficult topic in the world. I look forward to studying more of your work.

Thank you for your comments, now if we could just
wave the magic wand and wake up the American
People. How can anyone ever believe that those
with dual citizenship have our best interests
in mind. How????????

Good job,
Keep it up

I like the line where he says he has more semitic blood in his
eyelash than the whole European zionist community. This is the point
I made that has led to my being blacklisted not only by the Marlene
Newesri gang at efreepalestine, but on al-Awda as well since the
liberal zionists tell the ‘Arabs’ there what to do much as they do
people like Zogby, long active in the Democratic Party.

Just because someone is ‘Arab’ doesn’t mean they can’t be suckered
into apologizing for the zionists. This same sort of rhetoric about
Emanuel not being that bad, etc. goes on at the Newesri sites like
ArabForum as well.

They say things like Obama is really our friend and just wanted to
remove Emanuel from his powerful position in the Congress by making
him chief of staff!!!

BTW Yael Korin seems to be second in command on Arab Forum where this
goes on, and where three of our members have recently been purged or
denied membership. Marlene Newesri is really in charge there, of
couse, telling Zogby-Mashney what to say.

The zionists recruit Arab fronts to apologize for them, as we see
with Zogby and Steve Mashney. Both of these people are Demo Party
activists and they HAVE to apologize for zionists like Emanuel in
order to stay in the party.

Similarly, the zionists recruit well meaning people in the Arab
community to front for them. Take the Free Palestine Alliance,
mentioned recently by Emma Rosenthal.

These are not zionist agents, they are just people who have been
foooled by ANSWER operators.

The only visible presence of this organization is to serve as a guard
for ANSWER speaking platforms during the time when ANSWER featured
slogans against occupation and a token speaker, usually Elias
RAshmawi out in this part of the country.

Rashmawi doesn’t answer my e mails any more, since ANSWER dumped the
Palestine issue last year. They are another Barak Obama type
of ‘friend of Palestine’ who will come to dinner at Rashid Khalidi’s
house but then climb into bed with Emanuel and the rest of the tribe.

I left this comment on your site. I hope you post it:

Concerning the terrorist organization for which Rahm Emanuel’s father
worked, the contemporary opinion of some of the most notable and
respectable Jewish Americans is germane:

New York Times December 4, 1948

New Palestine Party Visit of Menachem Begin and Aims of Political
Movement Discussed

Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the
emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party”
(Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization,
methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist
parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former
Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in
Palestine.

The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United
States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American
support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement
political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States.
Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome
his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout
the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin’s political record and
perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he
represents.

Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial contributions,
public manifestations in Begin’s behalf, and the creation in Palestine
of the impression that a large segment of America supports Fascist
elements in Israel, the American public must be informed as to the
record and objectives of Mr. Begin and his movement.

The public avowals of Begin’s party are no guide whatever to its actual
character. Today they speak of freedom, democracy and anti-imperialism,
whereas until recently they openly preached the doctrine of the Fascist
state. It is in its actions that the terrorist party betrays its real
character; from its past actions we can judge what it may be expected to
do in the future.

Attack on Arab Village

A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir
Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands,
had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who
wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (THE NEW YORK
TIMES), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a
military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants-240
men, women, and children-and kept a few of them alive to parade as
captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community
was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of
apology to King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. But the terrorists, far from
being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it
widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the
country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin.

The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the
Freedom Party.

Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of
ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like
other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have
themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their
stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model.

During the last years of sporadic anti-British violence, the IZL and
Stern groups inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish
community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults
were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods,
beatings, window-smashing, and wide-spread robberies, the terrorists
intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute.

The people of the Freedom Party have had no part in the constructive
achievements in Palestine. They have reclaimed no land, built no
settlements, and only detracted from the Jewish defense activity. Their
much-publicized immigration endeavors were minute, and devoted mainly to
bringing in Fascist compatriots.

Discrepancies Seen

The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and
his party, and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the
imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp
of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British
alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a “Leader State” is the goal.

In the light of the foregoing considerations, it is imperative that the
truth about Mr. Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It
is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American Zionism has
refused to campaign against Begin’s efforts, or even to expose to its
own constituents the dangers to Israel from support to Begin.

The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few
salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging all
concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.

All the sudden, came Dr. Jim Zogby article on the issue. I was expecting him to blast Emanuel as the SOT [son of a terrorist] like he blasted John War McCain. Sadly, I was shocked deeply disappointed by the full article. The first thing went through my mind is Appeasement and Sucking Up to Democrates. I called AAI office and gave them an earful.

Thanks Hesham, you expressed my exact sentiment.
