As the UN led by Russia and Islamic nations condemn Israel as apartheid and the British prepare to reduce their already puny forces near Basra; as Arabs ready an intifada over the Temple Mount again and Iran waves its rockets we must further highlight how the Oslo-Road Map process imitates the phased destruction of Czechoslovakia by British diplomacy in the 1930s. The lessons to be learned grow ever timelier. (more…)
“We must not delude small nations into thinking that they will be protected from aggression…” — Sir John Simon, London, 2/21/38
Many people have noticed a terrible resemblance between the way Britain sacrificed the Czechs to Germany in 1938 and what the Oslo-Road Map plan has been doing to Israel. Ariel Sharon stated in 2002 that “Israel will not be Czechoslovakia,” a rare moment of bravery for which the vassal was rebuked promptly. Shortly afterwards, he returned to substantiating the parallel.
Still, few people realize how deep the comparisons go, how alarming they are and how they illuminate the true goals of British policymakers, — and their indifference to collateral damage. The record shows that the British are quite willing to accept war and destruction of assets (so long as most of the losses are born by others) and then have others pay and labor to rebuild what has been ruined largely through their own global designs, their relentless pursuit of Atlantic Union and World Federation.
Let us examine British diplomacy re Europe during the 1930s, making pertinent comparisons, predictions and prescriptions for today’s Middle East. (more…)
The closing recommendations may surprise but they suit the times. To truly please the British and Americans, Israel must change its government and radically revise its suicidal policies.
The financial-diplomatic interests that determine the foreign policies of Britain and America still pursue the outline sketched in 1919 for British policy in the Middle East. This policy was interrupted only briefly by Israel’s war for independence in 1948 and its great victory in 1967, a victory whose fruits were aborted.
The plan envisioned a Jewish majority region west of the Jordan as part of an Arab Federation. Sir Alfred Milner opposed this “absorption” of the Jews by the Arabs and argued for Jewish autonomy within Commonwealth status. But Milner died in 1925 and views like those of John Dove, Lord Halifax, the Astors and Reginald Coupland prevailed. Not only is Milner’s view that Israel west of the Jordan River “must never become a Jewish state” being carried out, but so is its absorption into an Arab Federation in which Jews may live provided they make major contributions with labor, capital and industry and don’t mind being regularly pillaged… (more…)
In a recent essay I discussed the formation by Cecil Rhodes and friends of a well-financed policy-advisory group rooted at Oxford and placed in the worlds of finance, media and government. Their main goals were re-integrating America into an English Dominion that would rule the world and spread “freedom.” They were haunted by a well-grounded fear of culture death.
In this essay we will examine this group’s shaping of policy in Israel and Europe in the 1920’s – 40s with several noteworthy ties to events of our days. First some context and review…
In 1911 the activities of the Rhodes-Milner group became prominent through their publication, The Round Table, frequent conferences on current events and placement of fellows in the media and government. In 1919 at the Versailles Peace Conference they formed The RIIA, Royal Institute for International Affairs and within a couple of years its American spin off, The Council on Foreign Relations that would work toward the goal of world government dominated by Anglo-American interests. But the emphasis on domination, and the means to achieve it have rotted the host nations. The culture death Rhodes feared is now embodied in social forms, institutions that debase our lives.
So we have tragedy and terror. The means and results of these interests, their obsession with population control in every sense deform Anglo-American values. Indeed more and more what results is a pyramid, the opposite of the society, Israel that gave the most life to their culture, entwining the concepts of individual responsibility and choice with that of walking in the ways of the Creator of all life. But these groups mean to be the Pharaoh of the end times… (more…)
ISRAEL AND THE END TIMES: Writings on the Logic and Surface Turbulence of History, Eugene Narrett, Ph.D. (Authorhouse 2006), 183 pp, Review by Isaac Mozeson
Professor Eugene Narrett has written another strikingly eloquent collection of essays focusing on the Middle East and geopolitics. He follows up Gathered Against Jerusalem (2000) and Israel Awakened (2001) with thirty essays that discuss the situation centering on Israel from summer 2001 to early 2006.
While analyzing a crucial political situation, Narrett is always writing about philosophy and comparative civilization. This explains his unique aerial snapshots of the cultural scene, and why the essays are written in masterfully sculptured prose, with marbling from rich veins of literature: Greek myths to Hawthorne and Orwell.
