The Frankenstein Monster
And Frankenstein

By William C. Carlotti

25 July, 2006
Countercurrents.org

Various and sundry pundits in the oligarchal corporate media and on the internet have adopted the fiction, promoted by the Zionist-led Jewish controlled Israeli government, that the recent attack on Gaza in Palestine and the invasion of Lebanon is a "collective punishment". They further enhance the fiction with erudite references to all the violations of International Law that such actions comprise and wax eloquently with enhancing statements of moral outrage.

Jewish Nationalists led by the Zionists have occupied Palestine for half a century with the strategic objective to absorb the whole of Palestine and portions of the lands of a number of their other neighbors including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. The fiction of "collective punishment" ignores Israel's half century of murderous, unrestricted jet plane bombings and strafing of Palestine's homes, hospitals, schools, playgrounds and every conceivable other target including heavily populated areas; the behemoth tank demolitions; the random abductions, assassinations, and jailing of Palestine's citizens and officials, and the armed Jewish enclaves created in Palestine's "west bank".

According to Prime Minister Ehud Ohmert of Israel in his address before the joint meeting of the United States Congress on May 24 of 2006

"For thousands of years, we Jews have been nourished and sustained by a yearning for our historic land. I, like many others, was raised with a deep conviction that the day would never come when we would have to relinquish parts of the land of our forefathers. I believed, and to this day still believe in our people's eternal and historic right to this entire land."

In the parlance of Israeli Jews the "entire land" is Eretz (Greater) Israel which they claim is defined in that book of short stories that has become known as the bible. According to the Jewish Nationalists, the boundaries of Eretz (Greater) Israel are defined in Ezekiel's short story at 47:13, a definition of borders that includes the whole of Palestine, and parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.

What is not often mentioned is the fact that this biblically defined land that the modern day Jews claim as their "entire land" was acquired, according to the short story accounts, by the genocidal slaughter of the peoples of seven other tribal nations that occupied the land that these modern Jews now claim by "historic right".

According to the short stories that were written by those that Prime Minister Ehud Ohmert claims are the "forefathers" of modern Jews,

In Deuteronomy 7:1-36, ".the Lord thy God shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art,.thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor show mercy to them: and shall slay them until they are utterly destroyed...and thou shalt destroy their names under heaven: no man shall be able to resist thee, until thou destroy them."

In Isaiah 13:15-18, "Every one that shall be found shall be slain; and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword. Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives ravaged...with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons."

More of these blood-curdling descriptive passages of human slaughter can be found in Numbers 32:1-35, in Numbers 33:50-52, in Samuel 27:8-9 and in a myriad of other passages written by those that Prime Minister Ohmert claims as the "forefathers" of modern Jews. They are passages that define the worst GENOCIDE ever recorded.

They are the ICON of GENOCIDE that makes pale any other definition.

There is no other written description of genocide from the victims or the perpetrators of subsequent genocides, including those of the Tasmanians and the Native Americans and of the African slave trade or of Europe's Jews, that are so thoroughly and completely definitive.

With respect to these and other passages in that book of short stories that has become known as the bible, Thomas Paine wrote in The Age of Reason,

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wicked-ness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest every thing as cruel."


Now it is quite true that the German Nazis in the process of a war that produced 45,000,000 victims proceeded with a similar genocide of European Jews. As an act of conscience, the nations of the world, in response to that genocidal attempt, joined together in 1947-48 to partition historic Palestine to create a homeland for Jews.

Yet Jewish Nationalists, led by Zionists driven by an unconscionable zealotry, are in the process of recreating, in the manner typical of settler regimes, the genocide perpetuated by those that Prime Minister Ehud Ohmart claims are the "forefathers" of modern Jews.

The definitive description of the strategic process with which these Zionist zealots are proceeding was written by Vladimir Jabotinsky in his essay published in the 1920's entitled THE IRON WALL
http://www.marxists.de/middleast/ironwall/ironwall.htm

It reads like a description of the current actions of the Zionist-led Israelis and its conclusion mirrors precisely the current strategic objectives of Zionist actions,

"Thus we conclude that we cannot promise anything to the Arabs of the Land of Israel or the Arab countries. Their voluntary agreement is out of the question. Hence those who hold that an agreement with the natives is an essential condition for Zionism can now say "no" and depart from Zionism. Zionist colonization, even the most restricted, must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population - an iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy."

Any attempt that ascribes motives to the actions of the Zionist-led Israeli Jews to such transitory motives as "collective punishment" outside of the context of the messianic drive to recreate an Eretz (Greater) Israel of biblical proportions smothers the genocidal activities of this deplorable and despicable settler regime in a fog of nonsensical verbiage.

In short, Israel's messianic military absorption of Palestine and parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt to create the Eretz (Greater) Israel of Ezekiel's proportions and the United States drive for hegemony over the oil of the Middle-East and the Caspian Sea produce a symbiotic relationship that makes it clear that those that devise and carry out the combined Israeli and United States policies in the Middle East transform Israel into a Frankenstein monster and the United States into the Frankenstein that produced it.
