THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY
By: Gerald L.K. Smith
(From THE CROSS & THE FLAG magazine, December, 1960)
The formation of the State of Israel is a composite of crime, hypocrisy and deceit. Every sacred principle has been violated. Every law and doctrine having to do with property rights has been violated. Here was an area of land which belonged to about two million people. Suddenly without rhyme or reason the Jew-controlled politicians of England, the United States and other Western nations began to supply arms, munitions and money to a heady clique of Zionists with the understanding that they were going into this area (Palestine) with guns, tanks, money, and a wide variety of munitions to steal approximately ten billion dollars worth of property. They stole it. They killed property owners who resisted. They drove home owners, land owners and businessmen out of their properties and off their lands without offering them any compensation and without giving any legitimate reason except that they, the Jews, wanted what the Arabs already possessed.
They exploited the sentimentality of a bunch of goofy, misled, mis-informed Christians by reminding them that they, the Jews, were God's chosen people, and therefore they had the right to go back and steal this land and hold it in the name of misinterpreted Holy Scripture.
SMOTHERED PRESS
They smothered the press of the Western world and so coerced the American newspapers and the British newspapers and others that the average citizen in these countries had no knowledge of what was going on. Humanitarian people did not realize that between one and two million Arabs were being driven out of their homes to die, to starve and suffer and degenerate into tuberculosis and a variety of a thousand diseases of exposure. Those who resisted the well-armed Jews were slaughtered. Whole villages were wiped out merely as examples of terror so that the remainder of the people would realize what would happen to them if they did not flee leaving everything to the Jews.
Short-sighted clergymen and stupid blind leaders of the blind failed even to give their people an honest interpretation of the Scripture which reveals that God's covenant with Abraham was fulfilled through Jesus Christ and not by way of the people who crucified Him and still justify His crucifixion and still hate the mention of His name. In fact, the official ruler of the abortive State of Israel so despised the name of Jesus Christ that when Billy Graham, the Evangelist, visited Palestine with the semi-official approval of the United States Government, he was given to understand that he could not speak in any Government-owned property if he mentioned the name of Jesus Christ. Consequently he was compelled to work around the edges and speak in small buildings and to people out of doors with the official disapproval of the Christ-hating rulers of the Israeli Government.
Coerced newspapers and mind-washed journalists failed also to tell the American people that BenGurion is not even an Old Testament believing Jew. He is an atheist and a materialist and belongs to no Synagogue. It is men of his character who are running this bandit realm of invaders and assassins.
Nothing has reflected on the character and the self-respect of the organized church more than the fact that the big church bureaucracies have stood still with yellow streaks up their backs as wide as a board. Clergymen of prominence have been afraid to expose this barbaric tyranny and this bandit slaughter, because they were afraid that they would be accused of anti-Semitism. In fact, the mind-washers and the Jew manipulators. who control altogether too much of American journalism and ether-wave comment are all set to represent any individual who criticizes the uncivilized conduct of the Zionists in the Middle East as bigots and anti-Semites.
ANTI-SEMITIC JEWS
A little handful of American Jews organized themselves into a group known as the American Council of Judaism. The leading personalities in this organization are Rabbi Elmer Berger and a handful of prominent Jewish citizens. They have dared speak out against Zionist crimes and have actually been publicized by the Zionist-controlled press as "antiSemitic Jews." When Rabbi Berger toured the West Coast some years ago warning the Jewish communities that they must not endorse this thievery in the Middle East, he was dubbed by some Jewish journals as the "Gerald Smith of Jewry."
Any Fundamentalist Christian who understands his Bible should be smart enough to know that when the time comes for God to restore His kingdom on this earth and to redeem the Holy Land, He will restore it and redeem it in fulfillment of the Abraham covenant via the people who love Christ rather than via the people who curse Christ.
If, on the other hand, a church member does not accept the Fundamentalist viewpoint and prefers to think of the restoration of the kingdom of Christ as a spiritual structure separated from geography and politics, the very ethics of his faith should lead him to condemn the practices which have been carried out officially by Zionist thugs and terrorist gangs in the Middle East.
Few Americans are aware of the fact that the publicized smear of Mr. Nasser, head of the United Arab Republic, has been based on his very natural opposition to the Ben-Gurion conspiracy to invade Egypt and steal enough land for the Zionist Jews to run another million people into the bleak desert to starve and die.
A COURAGEOUS CLERGYMAN
It should be noted that the Rev. Dr. Edward L. R. Elson, Pastor of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, the church to which President Eisenhower belongs -- it should be noted that Dr. Elson is one of a group of very prominent clergymen in the United States who has taken a stand in defense of the abused and banished and looted citizens of Palestine, who were run out of their homes and off their property. Dr. Elson has been the victim of no small amount of persecution and smear and undercover innuendo on the part of mind-washers and propagandists. He deserves much credit for the courageous stand he has taken. I am not dragging Dr. Elson's name into this comment to create the impression that he and I are buddies, or that his position on certain matters would be as extreme as some people think my position is, but I do give him much credit for courageous Christian statesmanship in the way he has associated himself with both Jews and Christians who have been opposed to the barbaric practices imposed upon the helpless Mideastern refugees by the Zionist invaders.
A BLOOD-THIRSTY EXAMPLE
The reader might be tempted to think that my viewpoint of this situation is a bit extreme and exaggerated. Therefore, I am quoting from a much read periodical known as the JEWISH NEWSLETTER, published by William Zukerman, who does not hesitate to condemn Zionists where they deserve condemnation for their aggressive and uncivilized practices.
Mr. Zukerman quotes from a book published by Simon and Shuster entitled "The Faithful City" by Dr. Dov Joseph, former military governor of Jerusalem. A paragraph found on pages 71-72 of the book is enough to shock any decent citizen of any faith anywhere in the world:
"We suffered a reverse of a different nature on April 9 when combined Etzel (Irgun) and Stern Gang units mounted a deliberate and unprovoked attack on the Arab village of Deir Yassin on the western edge of Jerusalem. There was no reason for the attack. It was a quiet village, which had denied entry to the volunteer Arab units from across the frontier and which had not been involved in any attacks on Jewish areas. The dissident groups chose it for strictly political reasons. It was a deliberate act of terrorism The event was a disaster in every way. The dissidents held the village for two days and then abandoned it. They earned the contempt of most Jews in Jerusalem, and an unequivocal public repudiation by the Jewish Agency. But they gave the Arabs a strong charge against us, and the words "Deir Yassin" were used over and over again both to justify their own atrocities and to persuade Arab villagers to join the mass flight which was now taking place all over Palestine."
Note: Although there was an 'official' condemnation by certain Zionists for the Irgun slaughter, Mr. Werman points out that the mob was not punished and the Zionist politicians did not hesitate to exploit and opportunize on the terror that the massacre had generated.
A sidelight to the above massacre by the Zionist gang known as Irgun. is in the fact that one of the chief American supporters of Irgun was Ben Hecht, the Hollywood scenario writer. Hecht formed a committee to raise money for these Jew guerrillas, and in his autobiography, he paid tribute to the notorious Jewish gangster Mickey Cohen who called in his gangster associates and raised large sums of money to be turned over to the Palestine slaughter bund.
Note: The vicious animosity of Ben Hecht for the name of Christ is emphasized by his quotation which appeared in one of his books entitled A JEW IN LOVE. "One of the finest things ever done by the mob was the crucifixion of Christ. Intellectually it was a splendid gesture. But trust the mob to bungle. If I'd had charge of executing Christ I'd have handled it differently. You see, what I'd have done was had him shipped to Rome and fed to the lions. They never could have made a savior out of mincemeat."
When will men of character in public office, in pulpits, and in positions of great clerical power have the statesmanship, intellectual honesty and the courage to stand out even at the risk of Zionist Jew smear and condemn these barbaric practices? If the religious and patriotic leaders of the Western world do not officially condemn this banditry, generations unborn will inherit a guilt oomplex which might very easily impair the self-respect of whole communities and whole nations.
THE PRICE OF CONSCIENCE
I thank God that I belong to a fraternity of Christian patriots who have endured the accusation of bigotry, the redhot brand of anti-Semitism, and the propaganda of almost permanent ridicule rather than to cast my lot on the side of cowardice, caution and expediency in such a way as to avoid the smear techniques of the Zionist-controlled press.
The average citizen around the world scarcely knows that the abortive state of Israel has not only defied decency and ethics and established precedent, but it has become a United Nations outlaw. Even after the United Nations had partitioned Palestine, contrary to the rights of the Arabs, the Jews refused to accept the borderlines established by an organization which they hoped to control and manipulate. The result has been quite obvious. Even though politicians from every nation on earth have been coerced and high-pressured in an attempt to make them rubber-stamps for Jewish policy, the State of Israel has never experienced a lower position on the 'totem pole' of respect than they now experience in the current session of the United Nations.
How can the United States of America and our allies speak with any degree of sincerity concerning the rights of self-determination on the part of peoples seeking independence when we were the underwriters, the financial angels, and the munitions suppliers for the Zionist invaders who took over Palestine and established the abortive State of Israel? Who on this earth with a claim to world-wide respect could possibly justify stealing ten billion dollars worth of property, running between one and two million people out of their homes, off their lands, and away from their places of business, giving them nothing in return and blackmailing the news dispensing agencies to a point where they became afraid to tell the people the truth for fear they would lose favors granted by the international Jewish money changers, the Zionist pressure groups, the department store advertisers, and the 'guerilla' outfits like the Jewish Anti-Defamation League and their ilk?
DISILLUSIONMENT
Because Mr. Nasser didn't want his nation overrun by Jews while his own compatriots were driven as refugees into the desert to starve and die, he has been smeared in the American press as a 'Hitler of the Nile' and an ally of the Soviets.
No people on the face of the earth believed in America more than the Arabs. In the Arab lands we built Christian colleges and many of them became Christians, and those that did not become Christians were educated in colleges which were built by our Christian missionary societies. When we sided with the aggressors for political reasons in a campaign to rob the Arabs even so they made many efforts to remain in our orbit of activity. The British Army went into Palestine before the Zionist invasion and disarmed every Arab to make sure that he was helpless and could not defend his home nor his business while the United'States, France, England and others were furnishing the guns and munitions necessary to drive the Arabs out of their land. Naturally the Arabs were compelled to turn to munition merchants willing to furnish them defensive weapons, and thanks to the Jew-controlled stupidity of American diplomats Nasser was forced to buy munitions of Czechoslovakia. But to prove that he was not proCommunist, he called on his lawmakers to pass legislation making it a criminal offense to organize Communist enterprises within the United Arab Republic.
This cowardly and stupid Zionist-controlled behavior of the United States in relationship to the Middle East crisis has caused us much loss of prestige. Don't forget that there are 500 million Moslems who are related sentimentally and. otherwise to the Arabs of Palestine. These Moslems are now suspicious of America where at one time they trusted us. They equate our diplomatic policy with Zionist policy, and they are afraid that in a pinch where we are asked to choose between the wrong thing that the Zionists want, and the right, we will choose to protect our political hides because of the big Jewish vote in the great cities rather than take a stand for truth and righteousness.
John Foster Dulles and those who determined our policy in relation to the Egyptian matter deserve some considerable credit even though it was inconsistent with other behaviors when they insisted that the United States should condemn Britain, France and Israel for attempting to invade Egypt. The whole thing was a Jewish manipulation. The shock came to the Jews of the world when they were branded by the United Nations in 1956 as criminal aggressors. Representatives of the Christian Nationalist Crusade take some little credit for having canvassed the membership of the United Nations carefully through committees and agents and the proper literature, to the end that the United Nations delegates were made aware of the real facts concerning the attempted invasion of Egypt.
If these Zionist Jews are permitted to get by with this aggression and create the impression on the world that their uncivilized conduct has been approved by America, Britain and others, I doubt seriously if the United States will ever be able to recover the respect and the prestige which we would deserve if we were ruled by the self-respecting majority of our Nation, rather than an aggressive conscienceless clique of Zionist Jews who are determined that they shall not only control our domestic, but our foreign policy.
A BLOODY POTENTIAL
The average naive reader might be tempted to say: "Oh, why should I be interested in Arabs in Palestine and Zionist Jews?" As indicated above, every decent person should be interested because it is our duty to be mentally, spiritually and academically on the side of right even in relation to matters over which we seem to have little or no control. But there is another reason why every citizen should be interested in the Palestine affair, because it has a life and death relationship to every American home.
I am in touch with students of world affairs who have given their whole lives to the study of our relationship to other nations, who are convinced that the big problem today is not Berlin or Formosa or Quemoy or Matsu or the Congo or South Africa or Latin America. They are convinced that the hottest spot in the world is the Middle East and that Jewish controlled propaganda has divided the attention of the American people by creating the impression that the so-called hot spots named above constitute the real hazards for peace and the real hazards for national safety. These highly informed friends tell me that if there is a third World War, it will start in Jerusalem. The Zionists are determined to spend unlimited sums of money lobbying our new Congress in order to accomplish a conspiratorial purpose which thus far has been frustrated and defeated. I am proud to confess that I have been one of the leaders in a subtle and strategic campaign to defeat the purposes of Zionism in relation to the Congress of the United States. Their one great ambition is to force the United States to sign a Mutual Defense Pact. If we were to sign a Mutual Defense Pact with Israel, it would bind us to fight the Arabs the way we are now bound by treaty with Chiang Kai-shek to fight the Communist Chinese. The Jews would find it rather easy to create an incident in the Middle East that would make it appear that they had been attacked by the Arabs. Then when this took place, we would be obligated under a Mutual Defense Pact to go to war on the side of the Zionist Jews in a campaign to slaughter the Arabs. Naturally we would have to win this war, and God only knows how many American lives would be sacrificed to such an immoral victory. We would then be compelled to subdue and enslave the Arabs in behalf of the Zionists, thus giving the Zionists the Middle Eastern empire for which they strive.
CHARACTER AND SELF-RESPECT NEEDED
God save America, and God save the character and the self-respect of America from ever being diluted or degenerated by any such immoral diplomatic policy. Do not be over-encouraged, however, concerning this matter, because there are some diabolical villains in Washington right now laying the foundation for the consummation of such a policy.
I repeat what I have said on so many occasions before in print and in public address. No person can be intelligent concerning world affairs unless he knows what the organized Jew is up to and what the organized Jew has resolved to undertake.
My research staff, which includes a large number of volunteers from all over the world, monitors all of the Jewish journals. Editorial positions taken by these journals one season are usually embraced by the Jew-controlled metropolitan press the next season. It is too noticeable to be ignored.
Outside of a few maverick journalists and organizations who at the risk of great persecution have taken stands against official policy, these Jewish journals and these Jewish organizations are about 99 % united on the wrong side of the life-and-death issues dealt with and embraced by the Christian Nationalist Crusade. Here are a few samples.
1. They were all against McCarthy.
2. They have all sabotaged by innuendo or down right opposition the Un-American Activities Committee and the Internal Security Committee.
3. They all promote mongrelization.
4. They are almost solidly behind Adlai Stevenson, who was a character witness for Alger Hiss.
5. They are unanimously opposed to a loyalty oath for or the people on the payroll of the United States Government and for students being educated by funds taken out of the United States Treasury.
6. They are almost unanimous in favoring the recognition of Communist China.
7. Even after our State Department urged television stations and networks to avoid giving any extra publicity to the barbaric Khrushchev, it took an obnoxious Jew like David Susskind to violate the strategic request of our State Department and give Khrushchev a forum that would have cost either one of our political parties not less than $50,000, perhaps $100,000.
THE PRICE OF HONESTY
Of course, when people like the writer points out these facts, the professional Jew carries on a campaign of smear and character assassination which can be scarcely imagined by the private citizen. In fact, one of the most outstanding Jewish journalists of the world said to me some years ago: "Gerald, you're a good fellow and I like you, but because of the stand you have taken we are going to so destroy you and so smear you that when anyone else is tempted to lift his head the way you have, we can point out you and say, 'See what we did to Gerald Smith. That's what we'll do to you.'"
It can be understood why I cannot respect the morality of the Zionist Jew when I reflect on the fact that only by the providence of God have I escaped death and prison at the hands of Jewish conspirators and Jewish manipulated lynch mobs. Some years ago when Mrs. Smith and members of my staff and myself barely escaped with our lives after a mob of murderous Jews had attacked us in Chicago and we were escorted to our hotel from the. Woman's Club by police cars 'fore and aft' carrying sawed-off shotguns, the journalistic conscience of the Jewish community in Chicago, which is the largest Jewish journal in America known as the JEWISH SENTINEL carried a vicious editorial attack on me. Previous to the meeting they had joined with the agitators who had precipitated the lynch mob riot resulting in the injury of several of our people. Then after the meeting was over and we had barely escaped with our lives, the JEWISH SENTINEL wrote An editorial. saying: "We intend to make it impossible for Gerald L. K. Smith or any of his ilk to meet in public places anywhere, in Chicago. Let them spew their filth in sewers, in dungeons, in underground basements - not where decent people gather."
So you see, dear reader, when I read stories of what the Irgun did to the innocent people of Palestine, I have little difficulty believing in the accuracy of the reports, because in a sense I have been 'Irgunized' myself in the United States. I have no respect whatsoever for the conscience nor the morality of organized Zionism. In some respects their crimes are more vicious than any which were committed by Al Capone. He was a self-confessed gangster and criminal. They pose as fulfillers of Old Testament prophecy. They deceive preachers of the Gospel. They stand in pulpits. They even teach sappy ignorant 'goy' preachers to ape their propaganda; namely, that these the worst enemies Christ has ever had are God's chosen people. No person with enough intelligence to come in out of the rain should be sappy enough to accept this lie. In fact, I consider it one of the most brazen and one of the most unabashed falsehoods ever told to the American people or any people.
It may seem unbelievable, but in this Nation of ours we have some sincere Christians who are controlled more by superstition than by fact, and these Zionist Jews have not hesitated to feed these superstitions with some of the most deceptive propaganda ever to come to my attention. |
