...as Norman Finkelstein says when confronted with the fulminations of Zionists, "letīs look at the historical record"...but before proceeding let me just say that I really admire the way this guy keeps right on target...for instance, when faced with Shlomo Ben Amiīs well meaning deception that Israel "was willing to concede many of its demands", making it appear that the Isarelis had been as forthcoming as the Palestinians, Norman pointed out that the issue was not what Isarel was willing to concede, to give up from its demands, it was a question of what Israel was ENTITLED to under international law...itīs clever and cute of the Zionists to say "we are willing to moderate our DEMANDS" as if their demandsare anything more than what THEY think theyīre entitled to...thatīs staying focused, good ole Norman...

...anyway what I started to say is what eveidence, in the historical record, is there of any Jewish power in America? Up to the eve of WW II Jews could not buy homes in certain neighborhoods, they could not get certain jobs, they could not get into certain schools, they could not join country clubs and they could not go to any hotel or resort they wanted to...there was what was called a "Gentlemanīs Agreement" to disctiminate against them in every way NOT allowed by law...because the law didnīt protect them and didnīt make discrimination illegal...what kind of power is that?

The usual bullshit about them controlling the media and Hollywood, while they certainly were represented in numbers far beyond their perecentage in the larger population, they still faced discrimination, andwere sneered and and looked own on to the point that they dared not expose the Nazis for fear of retaliation because the truth is that until Pearl Harbor the Nazis were very popular with just the kind of people who hated Jews.

On the eve that war when a refugee ship from Germany tried to dock in New York, it was truned back eeven though there were professional people among the passengers, people who could have carried their own weight and added to American culture and maybe even the war effort....where was the Jewish lobby then, when they couldnīt even gain admittance to a small group? And then during the war European Jews lost vast amounts of personal fortune, businesses, real estate and their lives....and Americna Jews though they appealled to Roosevelt, couldnīt get the concentration camps bombed to put them out of action...so where was the powerful Jewish lobby then?

And after the war, after European Jews lost so much of what they had built up over the centuries, and had their numbers wiped out...you mean to tell me that from that loss they came back even stronger...in a few decades?

I think this myth is what Christians tell themselves to explain away the fact that ANY Jews anywhere have survived and even thrived, under all the obstacles placed in their path by Christians...Christians just donīt understand how people can keep fiughting and coming back time and again, never giving up, but making superhuman efforts to overcome....so they imagine that Kews must be some kind of weird mystical race and to turn even their success against them, accuse them of OWNING everything...or pushing THEM around.

They made the same mistake where Palestinians are concerned, and now Iraqis and Afghans....the only thing that can explain this blind spot is that Christians believe others SHOULD bow down to them, because they are superior, and on top of that WHITE! They actually expect it each time and become even more furious and deranged when they see it doesnīt work.

Americans carried signs around with them saying "FEAR THIS"---when, on a perxonal and one to one basis, there is very little to fear...in fact THEY are the ones who are afraid...afraid of their own shadows now and there isnīt any indignity they wont submit to if they can just be convinced that it will make them safe...teh ultimate irony being of course that with everything they do they increase their own insecurity...giving people plenty of reason to hate them for what they do, though still not for what they are....but theyīre working on that too.
