Jews against Zionists (April 7, 2009)
Note: I re-edited this post; it is strengthened with additional information.
Hinie Srour, a renowned documentary film maker and living in London for over 40 years, is a Lebanese Jew. In the early sixties, she was one of the founders of a university students’ organization in Lebanon called “Student Forces Front”; the other founder was the Jewish Elie Baida. This organization demanded supporting our public universities and had leftist reformist orientations; it enjoyed wide appeal among the Christian universities and was very active for four years; the power to be got very nervous. The Phalange Party (Kataeb) decided to confront this organization by violence but it failed. In 1967, the Sunni Mufty of Palestine, Haj Amine Husseiny, published an anonymous article in the daily “Al Hadaf” claiming that the Jewish Lebanese founders of the organization were meeting once a year in Vienna with Israeli leaders. It was totally unfounded. The organization understood that it was being targeted for repression and dissolved.
In 1967, Gamal Abdel Nasser resigned after his war defeat against Israel. The Jews in Lebanon marched with the thousands of demonstrators reclaiming Nasser. The Jews in the Middle East were part of the fabric of society and they mostly joined reformist political parties that demanded equal treatment of citizens in the laws and in practice; they were anti-Zionists. Unfortunately, the State of Israel political practices and pre-emptive wars against the Arab States and its apartheid ideology against the Palestinians have forced most of the Jews to immigrate for fear of eventual reprisals generated by anger and frustration.
Most people have neither the knowledge, nor the interest, and nor the political acumen to differentiate among Zionist, Jewish, Ashkenazi, Sephardim, Israeli, or Hebrew. For the western countries there are no differences or no advantage for this kind of categorization for fear of being labeled anti-Semitic. For example, the software has to correct semitic by replacing the regular s with a capital S; and this is true for anything related to Jewish names, including replacing j with J.
For us in the Levant and the Middle East in general, we have been subjugated for much more than anti-Semitism labeling; we have been struggling for over 60 years with existential conditions of “Be or not to be” since the creation of this racist, anti-Semitic, apartheid Zionist State. These kinds of discriminations are practically abstract concepts in real life; but we have to deal with those happy in splitting hairs while the enemy is busting our doors and committing genocides while the UN is playing deaf and dumb.
There are many who like to differentiate between Zionist and Jewish and my question is “why stop here?” Is it because of ignorance or political accommodation or because the western medias have forced this dichotomy on us? Many want to differentiate between Zionism and Jewish for vested interest and to grab the western media attentions and recognitions, or to claim their allegiance to International Socialism or International Social-Democrat, or in order not to be blacklisted and denied visas or whatever. Someone has to set the record straight.
First, Zionism is an ideological group that started with the Ashkenazi in Europe and worked diligently to create a recognized State anywhere in the world, even in Uganda. The Ashkenazis are not Jews by origin. They were people from the Caucasus who adopted the Mosaic laws and established a kingdom that was destroyed by the Cossacks around 950 AC. They were not semitic by any criterion and didn’t know the customs and traditions of the people inhabiting the Levant; for example the Jews who lived in Palestine.
The turn of events encouraged the European countries to get rid of their “Jews” and relocating them in Palestine to safeguard the flow of oil, for example an advanced military post of mercenaries willing to die for no pays because they are safeguarding their “Promised Land”; promised by whom, Balfour of Britain? That was before 1948. Right now, any one who supports the existence of the State of Israel by financial aid to building more colonies on occupied lands is a Zionist. Anyone bringing up religious concepts of “Promised Land” to criminals against humanity is a Zionist. Anyone offering excuses to apartheid policies and genocides against the Palestinians is a Zionist, regardless of religious affiliations, race, sex, or origins.
We are in a war of survival for our existence and who supports the apartheid Zionist State without the institution of a Palestinian homeland is a Zionist that the UN has described as “a form of racist”; period.
Second, the Sephardim are Jews who lived in the Near East and fled to Iran, Iraq, Egypt, North Africa, Spain, and the Arab Peninsula. These Jews lived the customs and traditions of the Land. It is these Jews that the State of Israel relish to discriminate against: you will never find a Sephardic Prime Minister, President, or head of security in the 60 years of the State Israel. They are considered Middle Eastern and not appropriate to rule or govern. There are currently Ethiopian “Jews” who have been shipped into Israel more than three decades ago; they are still working in “sanitary” jobs with no prospect in sight for advancement.
However, you see a Jewish Russian Mafioso landing in Israel and within a couple of months he is heading a political party and becoming Foreign Minister. In Israel, an Ashkenazi can be a recognized terrorist by the whole world (Begin), he can be censured by Israel’s parliament for committing the massacre of the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut (Ariel Sharon), he can order the bombardment of UN compounds (Shimon Peres) but all is absolved; he can still be appointed Prime Minister as they all did. President Peres shamelessly accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
Third, there are Jews who are expecting the second coming of a divine Messiah and not for establishing any earthly kingdom for world domination. The State of Israel is anathema to these Jews in nature and in practices.
Fourth, there are Israeli citizens, not necessarily Jewish, but considered less than third class citizens; for example, the Palestinians who stayed in their lands even as genocides were being perpetrated around their towns.
Fifth, Hebrews are those tribes that joined the leadership of Moses and conquered land by the sword and genocide starting with the crazy Joshua Bin Noun. They were nomad strangers to the land of the Levant. They worshipped a God called Yahweh (Yahood, thus Jew); they worshiped Yahweh on and off, and the scribes of the Old Bible had to create so many prophets lambasting those Hebrews who would not stick to Yahweh; their Yahweh would rather carry his wrath at the detriment of the indigene Canaanites who suffered more killing and desolations.
There was no such religion as Jewish before Moses. Solomon managed a semblance of a Kingdom that didn’t last more than half a century. Those Hebrew had to wait for the nomadic tribes of the Hashmonides, living on loots and ransacking urban communities in the confines of south Palestine, to establish the bloody Kingdom of the Macabe. Those tribes, strong with renewed zeal because the Seleucid Kingdom forced upon them to desist in performing circumcision, over ran Galilee and forced the non Jews to be circumcised and to applying Moses’ Laws. It is no wonder that Israel forced Hebrew as a National language that no common Jew could speak and much less write.
Let us point out the murderers by their names; this is people tribunal.
Note 1: The Ashkenazi Jews in the western nations were relegated to ghettos and they learned not to purchase Real Estates but to focus on readily movable treasures. The Jews in the western nations were never welcomed in their midst, primarily because Christianism could not digest another forms of religious belief. The Sephardic Jews in the Arab and Moslem countries had to vacate after the establishment of the State of Israel for fear of reprisals because of the racist and theocratic State that the Zionist ideology instituted.
Note 2: The Jews in the western States were very active in secular political movements, particularly Communists and Socialists. Nowadays, their activism has waned relative to change and their focus is how to support the apartheid and racist Jewish State of Israel. Very few renowned Jews are still active for justice and change that are not related to the survival of the State of Israel such as Naom Chomsky.
Acrobatic Discrimination among Jewish sects and this anti-semitic myth

Acrobatic Discrimination among Jewish sects and this anti-semitic myth
Zionist, Jewish, Ashkenazim, Sephardi, Hebrew, Israeli, Semitic, Hasidim, and what else? (April 3, 2009)
Most people have neither the knowledge, nor the interest, and nor the political acumen to differentiate among Zionist, Jewish, Ashkenazi, Sephardim, Israeli, or Hebrew.
For the western countries there are no differences or no advantage for this kind of categorization for fear of being labeled anti-Semitic.
For example, the software has to correct semitic by replacing the regular s with a capital S; and this is true for anything related to Jewish names, including replacing j with J.
For us in the Levant and the Middle East in general, we have been subjugated for much more than anti-Semitism labeling; we have been struggling for over 60 years with existential conditions of “Be or not to be” since the creation of this implanted colonial entity, racist, anti-Semitic, apartheid Zionist State.
These kinds of discrimination are practically abstract concepts in real life; but we have to deal with those who are happy in splitting hairs, while the enemy is busting our doors and committing genocides while the UN is playing deaf and dumb.
There are many who like to differentiate between Zionist and Jewish, and my question is “why stop here?”
Is it because of ignorance, political accommodation, or because the western media have forced this dichotomy on us?
Many want to differentiate between Zionism and Jewish for vested interest and to grab the western media attentions and recognition or to claim their allegiance to International Socialism or International Social-Democrat, or in order not to be blacklisted and denied visas or whatever.
Someone has to set the record straight.
First, Zionism is an ideological group that started with the Ashkenazi in central Europe and worked diligently to create a recognized State anywhere in the world, even in Uganda.
The Ashkenazi are not Jews by origin. They were people from the Caucasus who adopted the Mosaic laws and established a kingdom Kazar that was destroyed by the Cossack around 950 AC. They were not semitic by any criterion, and didn’t know the customs and traditions of the people inhabiting the Levant; for example, the Jews who lived in Palestine.
The turn of events encouraged the European countries to get rid of their “Jews” and relocating them in Palestine to alleviate frequent recurrence of “anti-semitic” animosity in their communities, and Not in order to safeguard the flow of oil, which is a commodity, and could be exploited without the establishment of Israel.
In 1956, during the Suez war between Egypt against France and England, Israel demonstrated that it can play the role of advanced military post of mercenaries willing to die for no pays because they are safeguarding their “Promised Land“; promised by whom? Balfour of Britain in 1917?
Right now, any one who support the existence of the State of Israel by financial aid to building more colonies (settlements) on occupied Palestinian lands, or bring up religious concepts of promised land have to face criminal charges against humanity.
Those who support Israel existence are Zionists, regardless of religious affiliations, race, sex, or origins. We are in a war of survival for our existence.
Who supports the apartheid Zionist State without the institution of a Palestinian homeland is a Zionist that the UN has described as “a form of racist”; period.
Second, the Sephardim are Jews who had to be dispersed after Catholic Spain “re-conquered” the Arabic Empire in Andalusia in the middle of the 15th century.
In general, the Sepharade lived around the Mediterranean Sea basin, and in the Near East, and many ended in Iran, Iraq, Egypt, North Africa, Spain, and the Arabic Peninsula.
These Jews lived the customs and traditions of the Land. It is these Jews that the State of Israel relishes to discriminate against: You could never find a Sephardic Prime Minister, President, or head of security in the 60 years of the State Israel. They are considered Middle Eastern and not appropriate to rule or govern.
There are currently Ethiopian “Jews” who have been shipped into Israel more than three decades ago; they are still working in “sanitary” jobs with no prospect in sight for advancement.
However, you see a Jewish Russian Mafioso landing in Israel and within a couple of months he is heading a political party and becoming Foreign Minister.
In Israel, an Ashkenazi can be a recognized terrorist by the entire world (Begin), he can be censured by Israel’s parliament for committing genocide in the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut (Ariel Sharon), he can order the bombardment of UN compounds (Shimon Peres), but all is absolved within a couple of years.
The criminal against humanity can still be appointed Prime Minister as they all did. President Peres shamelessly accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
Third, there are Jews who are expecting the second coming of a divine Messiah and not for establishing any earthly kingdom for world domination. The State of Israel is anathema to these Jews in nature and in practices.
Fourth, there are Israeli citizens, not necessarily Jewish, but considered less than third class citizens; for example, the Palestinians who stayed in their lands, even as genocides were being perpetrated around their towns.
Fifth, Hebrews are those tribes that joined the leadership of Moses and conquered land by the sword and genocide starting with the crazy Joshua Bin Noun. They were nomad strangers to the land of the Levant. They worshipped a God called Yahweh (Yahood, thus Jew); they worshiped Yahweh on and off, and the scribes of the Old Bible had to create so many prophets lambasting those Hebrews who would not stick to Yahweh.
Their Yahweh would carry his wrath at the detriment of the indigene Canaanites who suffered more killing and desolation.
There was no such religion as Jewish before Moses.
Solomon managed a semblance of a Kingdom that didn’t last more than half a century. Those Hebrew had to wait for the nomadic tribes of the Hashmonides, living on loots and ransacking urban communities in the confines of south Palestine, to establish the bloody Kingdom of the Maccabees.
Those tribes, strong with a renewed zeal, because the Seleucid Kingdom forced upon them to desist in performing circumcision, over ran Galilee and forced the non Jews to be circumcised and to applying Moses’ Laws.
It is no wonder that Israel forced Hebrew as a National language that no common Jew could speak and much less write.
Islam: Triumphal return to Mecca (Part 3)

Islam: Triumphal return to Mecca (Part 3, February 1, 2009)
Mohammad had a dream while sleeping with Aicha that he shaved his head and performed the pilgrimage to Al Kaaba (Black Stone) in Mecca. Aicha encouraged him and Muhammad left Medina with 700 unarmed men to Mecca with his wise and matured wife Um Salama instead of Aicha. The favorite camel of Muhammad named Qaswa parked in Hudaybiya, close to Mecca, and would not move any further. Qaswa was the same camel that selected the location for the Prophet’s house and the Mosque in Yathreb. The Kuraichi’s tribes sent delegations and they reached a ten-year non-belligerence treaty with a promise that Muhammad would be permitted pilgrimage next year.
Although Muhammad was not allowed to enter Mecca, he wanted to perform the rites in Hudaybiya but the Companions refused. Um Salama then encouraged Muhammad to perform the sacred rituals and shaved Muhammad’s head and he slaughtered his sacrificial camel; then the believers hurried to follow suit and the party returned to Medina sanctified.
Mohammad conquered the fortified Jewish town of Khibar, North West of Madina in the year 630. The lands were turned over to Mohammad and his closest Companions and the Jews agreed to relinquish their treasures and to cultivate the land as serfs for 50% on the return for their subsistence. Um Salama escorted the Prophet in this raid and recounted to the harem that a Jewish girl roasted a lamb for Muhammad that was poisoned; when asked why she poisoned the lamb she replied: “You killed my father, brother, and husband. If you are a King then good riddance; if you are a Prophet then you must discover the plot.” The girl was not punished for the rational that she will spread her conviction that Mohammad is indeed a prophet for discovering that the food was poisoned.
Mohammad married Safiya, a Jewish beauty and of high grace from Khaibar who was married to a brute of a husband that died during the battle. Um Salama said that Mohammad liked his new wife very much: he didn’t wait the customary 40 days grievance and married her on the way back to Medina and spent four whole days and nights with Safiya. With virgins, the husbands spend 7 whole days and nights! Aicha thought that Um Salama could have spared her so much anxiety.
Mohammad married Um Habiba, the daughter of Abu Suffyan, his arch enemy of Kuraich; she was one of the first Moslem converts to flee to Ethiopia after the Kuraich persecutions. Muhammad married Maria, a Coptic slave sent as gift by Egypt’s Christian Governor. Maria became immediately the concubine of the Prophet until she converted to Islam and he spent most of his time with Maria, raising a revolt within his harem. Maria gave Muhammad a male son called Ibrahim who also died at age of two as his first son Qassem with Khadija,
Aicha took a definite advantage over the remaining wives. Prominent dignitaries who wanted to offer the Prophet gifts learned that the best moments were when Muhammad was with Aicha. Aicha thus enjoyed the best fabrics and gifts and the other wives revolted again wanting fair distribution of the gifts. Mohammad told Um Salama that his revelations descend when he is with Aicha, but the revolt went on and the Prophet decided to retreat from his harem for a whole month, sending fear and frustration in the community of the believers. After a month, Mohammad revealed a message placing men as superior to women and admonishing wives to obey their husband, and permitting husbands to punish their wives if they disobeyed. Mohammad re-conquered his authority in the harem; wives had to pay the price of this revolt for centuries after.
In 630 or the 8th year of Mohammad emigration to Yathreb, the Prophet assembled ten thousand fighters for his pilgrimage to the Kaaba and entered Mecca and destroyed the pagan Gods and became the uncontested leader of all the tribes in the Arabia peninsula. The prophet’s arch enemy Abu Suffian converted to Islam before the troops of the Moslems entered Mecca. The famous Hind, wife of Abu Sufian, reluctantly converted to Islam. Hind is the woman who opened the chest of Muhammad’s uncle Hamza in the Battle of Ohud; she ate raw Hamza’s liver in order to avenge her father’s death in the battle of Badr; Hamza had killed Hind’s father in a singular fight before the battle of Bard and had also killed her two “masked” younger brothers ten years ago in Mecca. Hind secluded herself in one room for the duration of two years.
The 360 idols were destroyed and the prophet kept the same old worshiping ceremony at the Black Stone with different connotations to the meanings in the procession. The Persian Salman had fled Yathrib incognito back to Mecca. Salman was the official scribe to Muhammad who got suspicious with the increased rate of rules issued every day to organize and manage the lives of the Moslem followers. Salman had started experimenting and tampering with the verses recited to him by the Prophet and then he realized that Muhammad was about to find him out.
The poet Al Aasha took refuge in the famous whorehouse called the “Curtain House” or Hijab for over two years. The Prophet had taken the suggestion of Abu Sufian not to close the Curtain House right away because the conversions of the citizens of Mecca were at best skin-deep. The poet Al Aasha had suggested to the Matron of the House that each one of the 12 whores emulate one of the Prophet’s wives in name and in historical incarnation. Business was brisk and the 12 whores then got the crazy idea of asking the blinding poet to marry them all as the Prophet did.
Mohammad married Maymouna, a relative of both tribes of Abi Taleb and Hashim to the fainting and shock of the harem. A revelation descended that the messenger is allowed all the women he desires. Besides his nine wives, Muhammad had two concubines, Maria and Rihana, and uncounted numbers of women who wanted to offer themselves to him to gain Paradise. Once, Fatima told the harem that her husband Ali wanted to take another wife and she intervened with the Prophet and Ali refrained to carry out his desires. Aicha was beside herself to learn that Fatima, the plain woman and not as educated as she, could enjoy one husband and generate four offspring, two of them males. Aicha realized that she could not get pregnant with all her gained expertise.
The Prophet’s adoptive son Zaid was killed at a battle in the north against the Byzantium Empire. Muhammad organized an army of 30,000 fighters in the year 631, recruited from all over Arabia and marched to Tabuk, a city within the Syrian borders, to avenge the death of his adoptive son Zaid; he took Aicha with him on this campaign. The Governor of Syria didn’t deign to challenge the Prophet for a battle. Muhammad returned to Medina after securing many treaties with the neighboring tribes and oasis in Syria. The whole of Arabia was converting to Islam.
Ibrahim, the son of Mohammad from Maria and aged 18 months, died. The Prophet cried and lamented, a behavior which was not the custom of the male believers. The Prophet went on pilgrimage to Mecca the next year with 30,000 pilgrims and the entire harem went this time. Mohammad gave a speech alluding that it might be his last pilgrimage. The prophet closed the Curtain House. The whore girls were incarcerated. For 12 days, the former polemist Al Aasha would show up in front of the prison and recite wonderful and touching love odes to each one of his wives. The guards finally realized that the names corresponded to the Prophet’s wives and the poet was taken prisoner. The girls were stoned to death.
During the trial, the public would not believe Al Aasha’s story and thought that he was jesting which aggravated the Prophet’s mood who said “In the old days you mocked the Recitation; then too these people enjoyed your mockery. Now you succeed in bringing the worst out of the people” Before being decapitated Al Aasha said to Muhammad “Whores and writers Muhammad; we are the people you can’t forgive.” The Prophet replied “Writers and whores, I see no difference here.” (Extracted from Salman Rushdi’s manuscript)
When the Prophet Muhammad died Hind wore all her jewelry and ordered a sumptuous banquet and invited the citizens of Mecca. No one shared the banquet with her, not even her husband. Hind said “I cannot change the course of history but revenge is so sweet!”
Shortly after his return to Medina Muhammad suffered from terrible headaches; he asked Abu Bakr to preach in his place when he was bed ridden. Muhammad was mortally sick for at least a month and he knew his days were counted because Angel Gabriel gave him a choice between this world and the Other World and the Prophet opted for the Other World. Muhammad had time to think about the succession of power and the appropriate processes but no revelations were forthcoming. The Prophet dies on June 8 in the year 632. The prophet Muhammad was 63 years old.
The tribal spirit was to dominate the political landscape, the same spirit that Muhammad intended to re-direct toward a Unique God and unite the “Umma”. The Arab and Moslem World were tribal in structure and ended up with a caste system when the newly converted Central Asian tribes overpowered the Kuraich tribal rights for leadership.
The remaining direct blood family of the Prophet consisted of his two grandsons Hassan and Hussein, and his two grand daughters from his daughter Fatima and her husband Ali (his nephew). The prophets three other daughters Zainab, Rukaya, and Oum Kulthum had died; I have no information so far if they left any offspring.
