Obama Runs into Israel's Wall of Apartheid

Following Biden's visit to Israel, Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, a Zionist Jew, wrote an editorial titled "Driving Drunk in Jerusalem" in which he said that the vice president had missed a chance to send a powerful public signal.

(HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill) - The Obama Administration has run right up against the Zionist Wall of Apartheid - and the extremely racist doctrine that built it. During his recent trip to Israel, Vice President Joe Biden and the Obama administration were insulted and embarrassed by the Israeli government's announcement on March 10 that it had approved construction of an additional 1,600 homes in the illegal Israeli settlement named Ramat Shlomo.

Ramat Shlomo is an orthodox Jewish settlement that has been built on illegally-occupied Palestinian land in what is called East Jerusalem. It is built right next to the Palestinian refugee camp called Shufat, which is surrounded by the Israeli Wall of Apartheid. To understand why the Israelis made such a provocative and insulting announcement during Biden's visit, it is essential to understand that the two ministers involved in the decision are both orthodox rabbis from the Shas party, which is the orthodox Jewish party that enabled the extreme right-wing Benjamin Netanyahu to form a coalition.

The interior minister who made the announcement that was meant to embarrass the Obama administration is Eli Yishai, the chairman of the ultra-orthodox Shas party. The Shas party has a strong base of support among orthodox Jews in New York City. The son of Alvin K. Hellerstein, the judge who oversees all 9-11 litigation, for example, lives on a similar illegal settlement like Ramat Shlomo. Michael Chertoff, the Israeli national who oversaw the non-investigation of 9-11 is an orthodox Jew who comes from a family of Zionist Talmud-thumping rabbis.

Orthodox Jews are inclined to be extremely racial in their thinking, due to the doctrine of Jewish supremacism they believe in. This is the real wall that blocks any peaceful settlement of the Israeli conflict with the native Palestinians, who live as second-class citizens on their own land under repressive Zionist occupation.

The minister of housing and construction is Ariel Atias, the number two man in the party.

Ariel Atias, Minister of Housing and Construction,
promotes a policy of racial and religious apartheid.

The Shas party has a history of criminal activity. Aryeh Deri,
the former interior minister and chairman of Shas, was sentenced
to three years in jail in 1999 for a range of corruption charges and
bribery. Here he is seen after his release from prison in July 2002.

Israeli Housing Minister Atias openly advocates segregation in Israel in order to create an apartheid state. Israeli construction policies under Minister Atias are designed to separate Jews from non-Jews, and religious Jews from secular Jews. On July 2, 2009, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported that at a conference of the Israel Bar Association focused on reforming Israel's Land Administration, Atias had called for the segregation of Israel's Arab population from Jewish Israelis, saying that achieving this separation or apartheid state was "a national duty."

Atias, as minister of housing and construction, explained his policy that Israeli land should be marketed to each sector separately, in order to create segregation, not just between Jews and Arabs but also between other sectors, such as ultra-Orthodox and secular Jews. "There is a severe housing crisis among the young ultra-Orthodox couples, and in the general population. I, as an ultra-Orthodox Jew, don't think that religious Jews should have to live in the same neighborhood as secular couples, so as to avoid unnecessary friction. And since some 5,000 to 6,000 religious couples get married every year, a problem arises because they require a certain kind of community life that goes along with their lifestyle."

On March 16, Palestinians from the nearby refugee camp of Shufat protested the illegal plan to build more Israeli homes on their land. News photos from the Israeli military/police response to the protest show how Israel uses undercover police that look and dress like Palestinians. This is important to understand because Israel often uses agents that look and act like Arabs. The Israelis probably used agents like these to create the cut-out for the "hijackers" of the false flag terrorism of 9-11.

I find the Israeli use of undercover police in this protest very interesting because this three-man team operated in a very similar way to how the three-man squad of military-trained undercover cops assaulted me at my home in August 2006. (In my case, however, the cop with the gun would have had his handgun aimed at me on the ground. It would have been Darin Felgenhauer who, as the lethal officer, was prepared to shoot me in case the TASERing made me go berserk.)

Here the undercover cops are operating with protection of uniformed
police. How is one to know that these men without uniforms are actually police? This is what I had to deal with when a three-man undercover tactical squad invaded my property in Hoffman Estates, threatened my family, and refused to identify themselves. I was very soon in the same position as the brave Palestinian in these photos.

With a young Palestinian in custody, the Israeli undercover cops give their victim the same kind of treatment I got from an undercover tactical squad in Hoffman Estates. The cop on top of the victim's head would have been Timothy Stoy, who knelt directly on my right temple for more than two minutes while the second cop (Michael Barber) applied the drive stun TASER shock of 50,000 volts to my lower back. The one with the gun would be the lethal officer, Darin Felgenhauer, prepared to deliver the fatal shot.

The Israeli undercover cops act just like the three-man tactical unit who assaulted me in Hoffman Estates on my property in front of my wife and 8-year-old daughter. After assaulting me, breaking my right arm, and TASERing me while I was pinned down in handcuffs - the undercover cops, who never identified themselves as police, charged me with assaulting them and resisting arrest. With a Zionist prosecutor, judge, and clerk calling the shots, I was found guilty on both charges and faced a year in Cook County Jail at sentencing. In my case, two of the three undercover cops (Stoy and Felgenhauer) apparently do not even have police uniforms. (See "Evidence of a Police Conspiracy to Injure Bollyn")

Dr. Nigel Parsons, a Middle East specialist and senior lecturer in politics, explained why the Israeli plan is so strongly rejected by Palestinians:

"This cuts right to the heart of the conflict. This is the essence of the problem - the state of Israel lending institutional support to housing for Jewish settlers while in the same location some of the world's most vulnerable people struggle in overcrowded conditions awaiting an end to the occupation and recognition of their rights…

"Restrictions on movement, unemployment, over-crowding, and separation from the West Bank have generated difficult conditions. However, offers of relocation have been refused by camp residents for fear of undermining the Palestinian right of return, a matter for final status negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

"In lieu of a final status agreement, Shu'fat captures Palestine in a microcosm: an isolated, disempowered indigenous population and an overcrowded refugee camp confront advancing Israeli settlement."

The Shufat refugee camp is inside Israel's apartheid wall on
land coveted by Jewish settlers.

Ramat Shlomo and Shufat are on a very large piece of occupied Palestinian land that has been illegally confiscated by the construction of the Israeli Wall of Apartheid. The green line is the legal border; the red and dotted line is the outline of the Wall.

He should have snapped his notebook shut, gotten right back on Air Force Two, flown home and left the following scribbled note behind: “Message from America to the Israeli government: Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. And right now, you’re driving drunk. You think you can embarrass your only true ally in the world, to satisfy some domestic political need, with no consequences? You have lost total contact with reality.

I couldn't agree more. The U.S. government has to end all support for the criminal and terrorist regime headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. These are, after all, the people who carried out 9-11.

As an independent researcher and journalist, Christopher Bollyn has spent many years studying the Middle East and Semitic languages and has a degree in history from the University of California at Santa Cruz with an emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "Besides research and writing, I am an editor and translator. My extensive travels and knowledge of German, Spanish, Norwegian, Swedish, Hebrew and Arabic give me an insight to analyze international politics and events."

Christopher Bollyn, Journaliste Sans Frontières, is currently working on a book entitled Solving 9-11, which is dedicated to explaining what really happened, and bringing the events of 9-11 into historical perspective. The research is underway, and will take months to complete. This essential work to increase understanding and clarity of the subject can only be completed with the support of readers and interested citizens.

PRETRIB RAPTURE POLITICS Many are still unaware of the eccentric, 180-year-old British theory underlying the politics of American evangelicals and Christian Zionists. Journalist and historian Dave MacPherson has spent more than 40 years focusing on the origin and spread of what is known as the apocalyptic "pretribulation rapture" - the inspiration behind Hal Lindsey's bestsellers of the 1970s and Tim LaHaye's today. Although promoters of this endtime evacuation from earth constantly repeat their slogan that "it's imminent and always has been" (which critics view more as a sales pitch than a scriptural statement), it was unknown in all official theology and organized religion before 1830. And MacPherson's research also reveals how hostile the pretrib rapture view has been to other faiths: It is anti-Islam. TV preacher John Hagee has been advocating "a pre-emptive military strike against Iran." (Google "Roots of Warlike Christian Zionism.") It is anti-Jewish. MacPherson's book "The Rapture Plot" (see Armageddon Books etc.) exposes hypocritical anti-Jewishness in even the theory's foundation. It is anti-Catholic. Lindsey and C. I. Scofield are two of many leaders who claim that the final Antichrist will be a Roman Catholic. (Google "Pretrib Hypocrisy.") It is anti-Protestant. For this reason no major Protestant denomination has ever adopted this escapist view. It even has some anti-evangelical aspects. The first publication promoting this novel endtime view spoke degradingly of "the name by which the mixed multitude of modern Moabites love to be distinguished, - the Evangelical World." (MacPherson's "Plot," p. 85) Despite the above, MacPherson proves that the "glue" that holds constantly in-fighting evangelicals together long enough to be victorious voting blocs in elections is the same "fly away" view. He notes that Jerry Falwell, when giving political speeches just before an election, would unfailingly state: "We believe in the pretribulational rapture!" In addition to "The Rapture Plot," MacPherson's many internet articles include "Famous Rapture Watchers," "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," "Edward Irving is Unnerving," "America's Pretrib Rapture Traffickers," "Thomas Ice (Bloopers)," "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy" and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" (massive plagiarism, phony doctorates, changing of early "rapture" documents in order to falsely credit John Darby with this view, etc.!). Because of his devastating discoveries, MacPherson is now No. 1 on the "hate" list of pretrib rapture leaders! There's no question that the leading promoters of this bizarre 19th century end-of-the-world doctrine are solidly pro-Israel and necessarily anti-Palestinian. In light of recently uncovered facts about this fringe-British-invented belief which has always been riddled with dishonesty, many are wondering why it should ever have any influence on Middle East affairs. This Johnny-come-lately view raises millions of dollars for political agendas. Only when scholars of all faiths begin to look deeply at it and widely air its "dirty linen" will it cease to be a power. It is the one theological view no one needs! With apologies to Winston Churchill - never has so much deception been foisted on so many by so few! [Also Google "David Letterman's Hate, Etc."]

Jewish culture is uniquely suited to the practice of aparteid, the separation of groups of people according to race or religion. It all starts with the deep multiple factionalism within Judaism itself. Not only is Israeli politics hobbled by a panoply of religious parties pushing separate agendas, but a vast array of sects within Judaism itself tends to keep religious Israelis at each others throats. A few years ago I read Karen Armstrong's The Struggle for God, a book that describes the history of religious sects within the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. I was astonished to discover that the major portion of this work was devoted to the Jewish sects. Moreover, the differences between the various Jewish sects seemed invariably to take the sect members on a journey of carving out their own place to live and practice their religious customs independent of those who do not share their precise beliefs. This sectarian factionalism among Jews probably contributed to the rise of both Christianity and Islam and gave the Romans so much difficulty in attempting to bring Imperial order to Palestine. Given this long history of sectarian factionalism, it would seem that the Zionist project is doomed to fail. An ideology that attempts to bring all Jews together in one homeland cannot operate under the customary practice of separating one group from another according to race and belief. Should Israel succeed in its current attempt to starve out and drive off all Palestinian Muslims and Christians, the separating will not stop and unacceptable Jews will be the next target. Chief among those targets will be secular Jews who are seen as apostates and increasingly marginalized in Israeli society. The only hope for peace in the middle east and the continued existence of Israeli is to put the secular Jews in charge of the country and outlaw religion in politics in Israel. Only then can a solution to current conflicts be hammered out by reasonable means. Religionists simply have no regard for reason or for those who do not share their beliefs. Allowing the Shas party and other religious sects to run amok in Israel or anywhere else in the world is a prescription for disaster. Keep empowering these people with Knesset seats and ministries and they will lead us all to armageddon.
