Wendy Campbell is a film-maker from California, and a familiar face:

her powerful essays already appeared on this list and elsewhere. Today

we offer her provocative and biting description of her visit to the city

where the main street is called Yitzshak Rabin Boulevard. No, it is

not Tel Aviv, but Miami.

But first, an announcement:  Wendy made a new documentary called  

"Neturei Karta: Jews Against Zionism" and it will be screened on

April 14 at 7:30 pm at La Pena Cultural Center at 1305 Shattuck Ave.,

Berkeley. Wendy describes her film as an "interview with the engaging

Rabbi Weiss of the Ultra Orthodox Jewish group called Neturei Karta

(which means "Guardians of the City" in the ancient Aramaic language),

which was formed in the 1930's before Israel was created in 1948, to

protest the new movement called Zionism.  Rabbi Weiss, who is based

just north of New York City, explains why his worldwide organization

believes that Zionism is the exact opposite of Judaism and why they

pray for the peaceful dismantling of the Zionist state of Israel.

Mainstream media has always ignored the activism of the Neturei Karta

and other anti-Zionism groups, so this film may be somewhat shocking,

but very enlightening, for many people who have always thought that

all Jews are pro-Israel and Zionists.  Rabbi Weiss provides a fascinating

and concise history of Judaism and how Zionism has been aggressively

seeking to transform it, revealing their intimidation tactics and falsehoods. 

He explains how the only way that true peace can be achieved is through

achieving justice for the Palestinian people, by apologizing for having

oppressed them and for stealing their land. He advocates making amends

with them by providing reparations and allowing them equal rights. 

According to Rabbi Weiss, Zionism is blatant racism and against true

Jewish values.  He asserts that Judaism is a religion, but Zionism has

attempted to replace religion with nationalism. For more information

Miami, Florida: Zionist Occupied Territory?

By Wendy Campbell

Recently, my boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to South Beach Miami along

with a couple days down in Key West, just for fun.  These days, as anti-war and

anti-Zionism activists, with a special interest in resolving the Israel-Palestine

conflict which is fueled by US tax dollars, we tend to see everything through

highly politicized lenses.

Of course, we both know that Florida has a large population of American Jews,

but we were surprised with the "Zionization" of Florida, as well as the mention

by people on two separate occasions in Key West, who didn't even know about

our politics, of Israeli money-laundering that is going on there. Israel is the

largest producer of the rave party drug Ecstasy, and apparently the Israeli

druglords also collude with South American drug dealers.  The Israeli drug

dealers are said to launder money through their cheesy tourist trap tee-shirt

shops that line the lower end of Duval Street in Key West, the last island of

the Florida Keys. Since this activity seems to be common knowledge, maybe

there is some collusion with local authorities as well.

The Definition of Zionism

At any rate, please allow me to explain my definition of "Zionism". Zionism

is a racist ideology that allows for Jews from anywhere in the world to go to

Israel-Palestine to claim superior rights to the land and government there at

the expense of the indigenous non-Jewish Palestinians. It can be argued that

Zionist Jews expect certain privileges above and beyond the average citizen

in any country they live. By the way, not all Jews are Zionists, and not all

American Jews think of Israel as their homeland.  Many American Jews,

I'm sure, if not most, think of themselves as Americans first and foremost.  

Many American Jews, I'm sure, accept their fellow Americans as equals

regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity or gender. However, only Jews

enjoy completely equal rights in Israel, where it is not a true secular

democracy even for Jews, in that only marriages between Jews are acknow-

ledged as legal in Israel, for just one example. Furthermore, all non-Jews

are marginalized in Israel.

Zionist American Jews are the chauvinistic Jews who commonly believe

in innate, irreducible differences from others and their own cultural-religious

superiority to gentiles, or non-Jews.  This attitude apparently enables them

to justify Israel's national campaign of blatant ethnic cleansing against the

non-Jewish Palestinians at worst as per "hard Zionists" or at the very least,

complete segregation as per the apartheid two-state solution favored by

"soft Zionists".

American Zionist Jews tend to think of Israel as their homeland, and to

perceive America as the "cash cow" and military vessel for achieving

Zionist hegemony as well as convenient place to live where they can

enjoy prosperity, freedom and protection from the strife that occurs in

Israel because of Zionism. Zionists in America espouse universalistic,

democratic principles for Americans while trying to cover up Nazi-like

campaigns in Israel against the Palestinians. U.S. policies now reflect

this abhorrent double standard in the so-called "war on terrorism" in

Iraq which is being waged on Israel's behalf.

Zionists also push and often succeed for Jewish supremacy in many

areas of American politics, media and culture to serve their narrow

interests, often at the expense of non-Jewish Americans.  American

Zionist Jews tend to place their first loyalty to Israel, over and above

any loyalty to America.

We congratulate American Jews who possess the moral clarity to

denounce Zionism loudly and clearly, and invite all others to do so

as well.

Zionized Miami and the Media

Back to the subject matter at hand.  Is Miami, Florida, Zionist-occupied

territory?

There were many things that we observed that led us to believe it is.  

And we wonder, is the rest of America going to follow suit?  We hope

not.

For instance, most of the newspapers we looked at seemed to be by, for

and about Jews.  The fact is that Miami is a highly diverse and multi-cultural

city, with a strong presence of Americans that come from many backgrounds:

Cuban, South American, European and African.  As a side-note, we met

many Argentinians, who appear to be the latest new wave of immigrants.  

Of course, we weren't sure who were actually American citizens, but

obviously many people in Miami are indeed American citizens.  Why is it

that such a culturally diverse city seems to have media so dominated by

those who are Jewish? This could also be said about American media at

large, however it is not always quite so blatantly noticeable.  In Israel,

from what I understand, the liberal newspaper the Ha'aretz employs no

Gentile (non-Jewish) writers!  In other words, in any place that has been

"Zionized", the non-Jews tend to be dispossessed and marginalized, and

otherwise subjugated to various degrees.

Jewish Discrimination Against Christians

Here is a very telling front-page story of the Jan. 29 issue of the Miami

newspaper the Sun Post.  A woman by the name of Sondra Snowdon has

been on a hunger strike to protest the fact that her town would not allow

any Christmas decorations to be displayed other than a Christmas tree yet

many Jewish decorations for Hanukkah were allowed, such as the menorah

and the Star of David.  She and another woman from another community

who has also been experiencing the same kind of discrimination against

the display of Christmas decorations are considering taking civil action.

As per the article, Councilman Robert Yaffe said the council should make

a "better effort to embrace the celebrations of all members of the community."  

Now isn't that a fact!

It seems obvious that Zionist Jews have a propensity for cultural compet-

itiveness and even discriminate against non-Jews, including Christians, and

most obviously Muslims. By the way, Hanukkah is a minor holiday in the

Jewish religion, yet it has been elevated by Zionist Jews in order to compete

and even at times to dominate over the most holy day for Christians, the

holiday of Christmas, a time that is now simply referred to "The Holidays".

Zionist Jews relentlessly seek to promote programs to educate Americans

about their version of the Holocaust, which by the way, claimed many non-

Jewish victims including the ones who gave their lives to end the war although

this is not emphasized by Zionists. As they seek to bring Jewish culture to

mainstream America, Zionists often display insensitivity if not hostility

towards others' religions, including Christianity, as well as others' nationalities,

in particular for example, Germans, Austrians and all Arabs.

Jewish Dominance On Street Signs

Another example of Zionist hegemony over mainstream America in Miami

could be seen in the street signs.  Many streets such as 12th Street, 15th Street.

16th Street or 20th Street had Jewish names over them, such as Abe Resnick,

Bernard Horowitz and Irving Meyer. Abe Resnick is on the board of the

Holocaust Memorial in Miami, by the way.  We saw no other names over

South Beach Miami street signs besides Jewish names-no Hispanic names,

not even English names.  At one point we did see a street named for Flagler,

who virtually created South Beach Miami in the very first place, so that seems

surely fitting.   There was even one street sign that was simply Yitzshak Rabin

Boulevard!  What other politician of a foreign country has a boulevard named

after him in America?  Yitzshak Rabin may have been the only somewhat

decent Israeli prime minister, but does that earn him a street named just for

him in America? Apparently some people think so. Later, we chuckled when

we saw that the sign over 20th Street next to the Holocaust Memorial bore

the additional name "Jerusalem Street".

The Holocaust Museum as a Wartime Propaganda Tool

While we are on the topic of the Holocaust Memorial which we visited while

we were there, which is no doubt at least partially paid for with non-Jewish

American tax money, this is what we observed.  First of all it is a very

impressive memorial, with a lily pond, and an outdoor entry way lined by

a wall of panels for names of the victims of the Holocaust (reminiscent

of the Viet Nam War Memorial), which leads to a central circular walled

plaza with a very dramatic monumental bronze sculpture of a hand

outreaching towards the sky, with the naked, starved bodies of concentration

camp inmates grasping for life at its base.  After some quick calculations,

we concluded that there were only about 26,000 names on the wall!  On top

of that, there were forms one could fill in and submit for $36 per name to

be added, as there were many blank panels waiting to be filled in with names.

Which led us to a very compelling question.

The compelling question is this: if it is true as the Zionists' claim that there

were six million Jews killed during the Holocaust under Hitler during WWII,

then why has there been no complete central compilation of the victims' names?  

Surely, with all the research and Holocaust "scholarship", along with the

claims and litigation that came in for compensation and reparations from

Germany, Switzerland and other European countries, along with the aid

of modern computers, there must be a central database with all of the names

of the victims.  

But apparently, to the best of our knowledge, there is not. Why not?  Could it

be that Zionists know that such a compilation would possibly come up far

shorter than six million Jewish victims?  Could it be that this would lead to

an open discussion of all the claims that Zionists make about the Holocaust?  

Could it be that this would lead to the lifting of the taboo against questioning

Zionist claims about the Holocaust? Although we all know the Holocaust

was a heinous occurrence in history, the Zionists insist that it is the worst

occurrence in all history of mankind in their own chauvinistic, ethnocentric

fashion, when in actuality, any genocidal, ethnic cleansing of any people is

equally abhorrent, and that applies to what the Zionists are now supporting

in Israel against the non-Jewish Palestinians who are the indigenous people

 of the Holy Land.

We realize also that the Holocaust is a sensitive topic, as well as a highly

unpleasant topic in every aspect, however, if any country is accused of

committing the worst crime in history, shouldn't there be a burden of proof?  

The untold volumes of "missing names" should concern everyone interested

in truth and historical accuracy.  Already, even Jewish Zionist scholars have

apparently uncovered truths that contradict some of the Holocaust lore, but

never-the-less, the Holocaust lore originally put forth by the Zionists years

ago as "fact" remains unchanged for public consumption.

We came to the conclusion that the Holocaust Museum, which is only one

of many across this country and around the world, is definitely a very potent

wartime propaganda tool, again funded at least partially by tax dollars.

The Role of Jews in the Bolshevik Revolution Airbrushed Away

In South Beach Miami, there is also a very interesting museum that

specifically features posters and artifacts of wartime propaganda.

On the 6th floor of the Wolfsonian Museum, there were many posters

from WWII from various countries from both sides of the war, including

from America, Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and so on.  We found one poster

that was printed in 1942 in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands to be especially

interesting. The text read "BOLSJEWISME IS MOORD!" which translates,

according to the placard beside it, as "BOLSHEVISM IS MURDER!".  

However, there was no reference to the fact that the letters "J-E-W" were

inserted into the word or why it was. It's something that most people would

most likely not notice. Most people don't have a clue about the fact that Jews

were prominent leaders in the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.  Was this

omission an oversight or further evidence of the unwritten rule against

offending certain powerful sensibilities?

The placard explained how the poster graphically featured the horrors of

a young girl raped, a man tortured and murdered, and Christianity under

attack, as shown in the shattered crucifix on the ground, committed at the

hands of the Bolsheviks. This was designed by the Nazi Germans to play

on the Europeans' anxiety of the savageness of Red Army of the Communist

Soviet Union.  What is interesting is that, just like in the overall American

and European discourse, the role of Jews, many of whom were leaders in

the brutal Bolshevik Communist Soviet Union, has been airbrushed out

of history, just like it was deleted out of the placard at the museum, even

while staring you in the face from the poster. In fact, a couple of top

German politicians were recently publicly admonished for making a public

reference to the significant role that Jews played during the Bolshevik

Revolution and Communist Soviet Union.  

The Taboo Against Criticizing Zionist Israel and the Behavior of

Zionist Jews

This all fits into the pattern of the strong taboo against speaking about Jews

at all in connection with anything negative, no matter how justified.  Holocaust

lore has created a potent taboo against criticizing specifically Jewish political

actions. In today's "post Holocaust" environment, Jews are to be viewed either

in a uniformly positive light or as victims. This surely benefits Israel's ongoing

campaign of ethnic cleansing against the non-Jews in Palestine-Israel, not to

mention their privileged status here.  The fear of the smear of "anti-Semitism"

is deliberately intended to diminish all legitimate protest against Zionism and

its crimes. Expect to see still more Holocaust Museums, Holocaust classes in

both public and private Christian schools, movies, cartoons, artifacts, etc.

coming soon to a neighborhood near you!

The repetition is essential in order to constantly attempt to justify Israel's

on-going ethnic cleansing campaign which now includes the building of the

monumental Apartheid Wall, which also illegally separates more Palestinians

from their land, another example of under-reporting of Israel's wrong-doings.

The logic that follows, is if the Jews are portrayed as always innocent of any

wrongful behavior, then the only reason one could be anti-Jew or more

accurately, anti-Zionism, is because of some irrational hatred, and never

because of their lawless behavior.  However this attempt to protect Jews

from "scapegoating" or more accurately from holding Zionist Jews and Israel

accountable for their behavior, is in fact directly allowing Zionist Jews to

continue breaking international law with impunity.

The Need to Demand Equal Rights for All Everywhere Now

It is time for all Americans of all races, religions and ethnicities, including

non-Zionist Jews, to stop being timid or blackmailed into allowing a separate

political or moral standard for Zionist Jews and the Jewish state of Israel.  

No topic should be taboo, unless it is pure hate-mongering, something which

anyone of any religion is capable of, but which must be avoided. No one

people's suffering is any more important than any other people's suffering.  

"Never again" coined by arch Zionist racist Meir Kahane, should mean never

again should there be a holocaust or any persecution of any people because

of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender, either here in America, or in Israel-

Palestine or anywhere in the world, especially any country that receives

American tax dollars.  There must be no double standards allowed for anyone.  

All people and all countries must abide by International Law, or else be held

accountable for their crimes against humanity in a recognized international

court of law. It is time to address the Palestine-Israel conflict in a completely

truthful manner, and demand that the Palestinians be allowed the same human r

ights as the Israelis.

Using the formula which dismantled apartheid in South Africa, similarly Israel

must be pressured by all people of conscience to transform into a true secular

democracy with equal rights for all regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or

gender.  

Firstly, a Truth and Reconciliation Committee must be set up, and the suffering

of the Palestinian people due to Zionism must be fully and truthfully acknow-

ledged by the world, and most especially by Israel. Then steps must be taken to

create a true secular democratic government that guarantees equal rights for all

to replace the current racist, Zionist government in Israel which favors only Jews. Additionally, all Palestinians must be compensated for their losses, including

all the Palestinian refugees who must be allowed to claim their inalienable right

to return to Palestine-Israel.  This is their right according to UN Resolutions,

International Law and world opinion.  The U.S. and all the nations of the UN

should participate in accomplishing this.

Once this is accomplished, and it can be done if enough people demand it and

work for it, then this will allow a new era of peace and good will to emerge

throughout the world, rather than endless war.
