About Cannon-Fodder and Sacrificial Lambs

Time to Think

Thinking is cool again here in Iceland, after the (Silvia)Night´s party is over and the Morning light has come with a throbbing headache

According to official sources, things have calmed down in Iran for the last couple of days. The government has declared that from now on no more illegal demonstrations would be tolerated, different from the attitude of last week where mass-demonstration where would went more or less on undisturbed unless they turned violent.

According to Iranian Press TV among the 20 victims of the post-election unrests 8 of them were members of the Basij, a paramilitary police-force subordinated to the Republican Guards. Some of the Basij members were killed when on the first day of the protests armed protesters attacked a Basij station in a possible attempt to gain access to more weapons. The station was then set on fire by the attackers.In the protests a week later there were once again armed men using the unarmed crowd as cover.

By this tactic the disappointed Tehranis, who had hoped for the victory of a candidate who had promised reforms, became unwilling cannon-fodder for an agenda we now know was formed by the intelligence agencies of America, Britain and Israel. And the people killed became the “sacrificial lambs” of a propaganda campaign used by western governments and Iranian opposition forces alike.

Using your own people deliberatly and callously as sacrificial lambs in a propaganda campaign to serve political aims is not a new tactic. It has famous historic precedences.

Let´s go back to my last post about the actual meaning of the word “Holocaust”:

Although the word has been removed from most English Bible translations, originally it had always been biblical. It meant the whole burning of a sacrificial animal initiated by a Jewish high-priest. In modern bible translations the word is replaced by “burnt offering”.

The high-priest would offer a sacrificial animal, one “without blemish” (blameless), to his God, to gain favor in the eyes of God, a sacrifice for Israel.

Although they were seculars their very strange words and behavior seems to indicate that the early Zionists saw themselves as modern-day high-priest bringing sacrifice for the construction of a modern-day Israel.

Here are some of their quotes, collected by the Jewish orthodox congregations of Jews against Zionism:

The hopes of Europe’s six million Jews are centered on emigration. I was asked: “Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?” I replied, “No.” … From the depths of the tragedy I want to save … young people [for Palestine]. The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world … Only the branch of the young shall survive. They have to accept it.
-Chaim Weizmann, (later the first president of Israel)reporting to the Zionist Congress in 1937

“If I knew that it would be possible to save all the children in Germany by bringing them over to England and only half of them by transporting them to Eretz Israel, then I opt for the second alternative.”
-Ben Gurion in a meeting of Labor Zionists in Great Britain in 1938:

“If I am asked, Could you give from the UJA moneys to rescue Jews, ‘I say, NO! and I say again NO!”
-Izaak Greenbaum — head of Jewish Agency Rescue Committee
February 18, 1943-Addressed to the Zionist Executive Council.
“One Cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland”- Izaak Greenbaum

Among the Zionists of earlier decades there were also a few openly religious fanatics. Even then, they were not so very different from the West-bank settlers and their rabbis, who today advocate the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians in a biblical genocide.
Lets take Editor Sharan, from the Israeli NewspaperDavar in 1952. Only Sharan advocated a terror campaign against what he considered “his own people”:
“I shall not be ashamed to confess that if I had the power, as I have the will, I would select a score of efficient young men — intelligent, decent, devoted to our ideal and burning with the desire to help redeem Jews — and I would send them to the countries where Jews are absorbed in sinful self-satisfaction. The task of these young men would be to disguise themselves as non-Jews, and plague Jews with anti-Semitic slogans such as ‘Bloody Jew’, ‘Jews go to Palestine’ and similar intimacies. I can vouch that the results in terms of a considerable immigration to Israel from these countries would be ten thousand times larger than the results brought by thousands of emissaries who have been preaching for decades to deaf ears.”
—, quoted by Alfred Lilienthal in “The Other Side of the Coin”, Devin-Adair, New York, p.47.

It is a cynical but fitting symbol, when Zionist propagandists, from the 1970s on, called the Jewish suffering during World War II “the Holocaust”. It was a “burnt offering” of human sacrifice to a cruel deity by modern-day “high-priests” for the sake of “Israel” using the Nazis as their “knives”.

(In my opinion, the “deity” those Zionists (secular or otherwise) “worship” cannot possibly be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Human sacrifice was a common feature of babylonian cultures. According to biblical tradition Abraham was told to walk out of “Ur of the Chaldees” a babylonian city, and go to Canaan, presumably today´s Palestine. With this background, he naturally would have assumed that his new-found god, just like the babylonian gods, would demand human sacrifices as a test of faith. But biblical tradition also tells us also, that this God put an end to this kind of sacrifice, sending an angel to stop it. )
