I do realize that the use of terms like "Jewish Nazism" offends many people, particularly among Jews. However, those offended should also have sufficient rectitude to call the spade a spade, especially when they see it in Jewish hands.

In the final analysis, we are living in a moral universe where truth should apply to all human beings equally. This means that all peoples and all communities, Jews and non-Jews alike, ought to be treated in accordance with the same moral standards.

In fact, this is what the Ten Commandments taught thousands of years ago. Hence, when the Almighty taught "thou shall not murder," He meant thou shall not murder any human beings, and when He taught "thou shall not steal," He meant "thou shall not steal from any human beings." And when He taught thou "shall not lie," He meant "thou shall not lie to any human beings."

Unfortunately, some misguided Talmudic sages, who appeared hundreds of years later, distorted the meaning and intention of these sublime moral standards, by arguing rather erroneously that since these commandments were given to "Jews," it followed that Jews and Jews alone were concerned with these principles. The implication was very clear: "Thou shall not murder" meant thou shall not murder a Jew. "Thou shall not steal" meant thou shall not steal from a Jew, and "thou shall not lie" meant thou shall not lie to a Jew. As to non-Jews, the goyem, who are often viewed as cattle in some Talmudic literature, they may be murdered, stolen from and lied to. The reason is clear. Goyem are not bona fide human beings and their very existence is not essential in terms of universal wisdom.

I have opted to begin with this introduction, not so much to malign Jews, but rather to elucidate how far they, or most of them, have deviated from the original message of the Torah by adopting a racist and segregationalist interpretation of an originally universal and integrationalist message. The great Jewish author and intellectual Alfred Lilienthal described this serious distortion in his great book "the Zionist Connection" as "having a hoarding on God"

Unfortunately, as a result of this serious distortion of the original glorious Judaic message sprang many Jewish sects and movements that eventually came to view the rest of humanity as inherently inferior to Jews in every conceivable aspect. Take for example, the Chabad movement, which can be described as Judeo-Nazi group without the slightest exaggeration.

According to Chabad's fundamental book "hatanya", "Non-Jews are totally satanic creatures in whom there is absolutely nothing good. Even a non-Jewish embryo is qualitatively different from a Jewish embryo. The very existence of non-Jew is inessential, whereas all of creation was created solely for the sake of the Jews."

More than a year ago, Manis Friedman, a prominent and highly-respected Chabad-Lubavitch "rabbi" living in Minnesota , wrote in response to a question that "the only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish war. Destroy their holy sites, kill their men, women and children, and the cattle."

Writing in the Moment magazine, the Rabbi added "I don't believe in western morality, living by the Torah values will make us the light to the nations who suffer defeat because of disastrous morality of human invention."

So, this despicable thug wants to be a light upon the nations by murdering our "men, women, and children and even cattle."!!!

In fact, Friedman in no way represents the exception as his ideas represent the mainstream especially among Zionist Judaism, which is now dominant in Israel.

Another Chabadist-affiliate, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, wrote a book a few months ago, permitting Jews to murder non-Jewish civilians even if they didn't pose any immediate threat to Jews.

The book, named "The King's Torah," deems the killing of non-Jews religiously permissible. "It is permissible to kill the Righteous among Nations even if they are not responsible for the threatening situation," the book says, adding: "If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments - because we care about the commandments - there is nothing wrong with the murder."

The theological mentor of Zionist Judaism, Abraham Kook, preached the absolute superiority of Jews over non-Jews just as the Nazis taught the superiority of Aryans over the rest of mankind.

According to the book Jewish Fundamentalism, written by Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky, Kook wrote that "the difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews -all of them in all different levels- is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle."

The teachings of Kook are based on the Lurianic Cabala (Jewish Mysticism). Which teaches the absolute superiority of the Jewish soul and body over the non-Jewish soul and body. This means, according to one Lubavitcher Rabbi that "every simple cell in a Jewish body entails divinity and is part of God."

In 2003, Rabbi Sadya Grama of the Beth Medrash Govoha, the renowned Talmudic school of Lakewood, NJ, published a book in which he claimed that Gentiles were completely evil and that Jews constituted a separate, genetically superior species.

The book, published under the Hebrew title "Romemut Yisrael Ufrashat Haghalut" quoted numerous classical Jewish sources to prove Jewish superiority over the rest of mankind.

The difference between Jews and gentiles, the author argued, is not religious, historical or political. It is rather racial, genetic and scientifically unalterable. One group is at its very root and by natural constitution "totally evil" while the other is "totally good."

"Jewish success in the world is completely contingent upon the failure of all other peoples, only when the gentiles face total catastrophe, Jews do experience good fortune. The Jews themselves brought their own destruction during the Holocaust since they arrogantly endeavored to overcome their very essence, dictated by divine law."

A few years ago, Mordechai Elyahu, religious mentor and leader of hundreds of thousands of Zionist-religious Jews in Israel, advocated a total genocide of Gaza civilians in retaliation for mostly innocuous resistance attacks by Palestinian freedom fighters, carried out in response to devastating daily attacks by the Israeli occupation army.

Elyahu, who died a few weeks ago, wrote that it was forbidden to risk the lives of Jews for fear of injuring or killing Palestinian civilians.

"If they don't stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand, and if they don't stop after 1,000 then we must kill 10,000. If they still don't stop we must kill, 100,00, even a million. Whatever it takes to make them stop."

He reportedly quoted Psalm, saying "I will pursue my enemies and apprehend them and I will not desist until I have eradicated them." In other words "No hold barred." This is the same policy that the Nazi leadership adopted vis-à-vis the European Jewry in the course of the Second World War. We all know the rest of the story.

There is no doubt that these clear-cut Nazi doctrines serve as a philosophical basis for Israel 's genocidal crimes against the Palestinian, the Lebanese and other peoples of the Middle East.

This journalist had spoken with several Israeli soldiers who explained rather candidly that "we are only doing to you what the Nazis did to us."

Again, the purpose of this piece is not to incite against Jews, especially honest and God-fearing Jews who love and respect their fellow human beings. Moreover, I do recognize that there is ample Jewish literature that urges Jews to treat their fellow human beings as they wish to be treated by them. Unfortunately this literature is ignored by the bulk of Zionist rabbis since it doesn't serve their hateful agenda.

None the less, there are obviously too many Jews who have opted to walk in the path of evil and criminality, the path of Zionism. Needless to say, these people are a cancer upon the true conscience of Judaism.

It is those people that should be isolated and exposed, because, if not, they would kill the remaining humanity in the heart of every Jewish man, woman and child. The harm has already been done. We can only hope that that Jews will undergo a speedy awakening in order to eradicate the cancer called Zionism. (end)
