Who are the Warmongers?

Nahida Izzat, Exiled Palestinian

JINSA: The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs

Did you ever ponder about the question: Who is promoting America's wars?

Who pushed for the war on Iraq?

Who is pushing for another war on Iran?

Who is promoting concepts of American Exceptionalism, military necessity, and "leadership with muscle"?

Who is indoctrinating American police and public with "educational" programmes of "Law Enforcement"?

Who is fomenting hatred against Islam and Muslims just to conceal their criminality by pretending to be the spearhead fighting the war against terror and extremism?

Who is offering courses in combating terrorism with their "superb anti-terror schools"?

Who is posing as the world leading authority in understanding and explaining "terror" related issues?

Who is supporting a pariah entity and promoting its interests despite all its violations of Human Rights and International Law?

Who are those who hold key positions in U.S. policy making and Homeland Security despite being advocates and supporters of a supremacist racist Jewish group?

Who is forcing us to go through radiating machines under the pretext of fighting terrorism while expanding and making a fortune in the process?

Who is fermenting by deception, all sorts of wars and conflicts yet deceivingly they pose as the protector of peace and security?

Who is honouring and celebrating murderers and baby killers?

To answer these questions, this might be a good place to start.

Then have a look at this.

And this.

“For more than three decades, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs has been a strong supporter and defender of America’s military might – and of America’s long-standing friendship with Israel. I thank you all for your contribution to the debate over our nation’s foreign policy.”
~ Robert M. Gates, Secretary of Defense

“[JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security] created a crucial forum that exists nowhere else that keeps our nation and its leaders focused on the threats, challenges and opportunities that we face from a combination of sworn enemies, emerging rivals and evolving alliances.”
~ Senator Joseph Lieberman

JINSA which claims to have 20,000 members and has a budget of about $4.000.000 is actively involved in promoting and justifying wars of aggression.

Henry M. Jackson Foundation - HJF is yet but another organization linked to JINSA. It declares on it's own website: "for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (HJF) is a global organization dedicated to advancing military medical research. We serve military, medical, academic and government clients by administering, managing and supporting preeminent scientific programs that benefit members of the armed forces and civilians alike."

In their 2010 Annual Report, they describe themselves as a "Global Organization Driven by Singular Mission"

"Since its founding in 1983, HJF has dedicated itself to a clear and noble mission: advancing military medicine. Although much has changed in the ensuing 27 years, the Foundation’s commitment to its mission remains unchanged."

One is entitled to ask: "Does this lust for war and destruction has any ideological foundations?"

―Lo and behold! With only a tiny scratch to the surface in search for answers, you are hit with this:

THE LAWS OF KINGS AND THEIR WARS

6) The obligation to destroy the seven nations living in the Land of Canaan;
7) The prohibition against allowing any one of them to remain alive;
8) The obligation to destroy the descendents of Amalek;
9) The obligation to remember what Amalek did;

Mishneh Torah, Chapter 5, Halacha 1

● "A king should not wage other wars before a milchemet mitzvah. What is considered as milchemet mitzvah? The war against the seven nations who occupied Eretz Yisrael, the war against Amalek, and a war fought to assist Israel from an enemy which attacks them. Afterwards, he may wage a milchemet hareshut, (war of aggression) i.e. a war fought with other nations in order to expand the borders of Israel or magnify its greatness and reputation."
● "wars of conquest are permissible. As stated, these are wars against enemies that lie very far from Israel's borders, and as such, are obviously not defensive wars but rather wars motivated by pure aggression."
● "....the justification for war is the Jewish people's exercising their divine right to the land of Canaan, "And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it for I have assigned the land to you to possess."
● "Rabbi Yehudah identifies wars of conquest and aggression as commanded (mitzvah) and the war against the seven nations as obligatory (chovah)."

Sadly, such ideology is not confined to being dusty theological scrolls kept in attics, or ancient theoretical books used as mythology. Such ideology has managed to produce its own horrific manifestation. It is real in every practical sense; seen, heard, smelled and touched as facts on the ground, and in the most ugly and reprehensible manner, as it poses as an "authority" in ethics slaughtering, maiming and stealing while "blessing" humanity with "Great" lessons in "morality"!

Adherents of such racist and anti-human ideology, while affirming in principle and in practice that wars of aggression are commanded, do not hesitate to agitate the whole world against one quarter of its populations, namely the Muslims. They flood the media with fabricated stories about the "immanent" Islamic "terror threat". They spread the irrational hysteria of Islamophobia and "shari'a-phobia". They keep people hostages, in a perpetual state of anxiety, hate and fear; shackled by the Hasbara-made psychological dungeons of ignorance and misinformation.

They accuse and attack the very book that clearly forbids wars of aggression: ‘And fight in the way of God with those who fight with you, but AGGRESS NOT: God loves not the aggressors.’ (2.190). The book which clearly calls for justice even against oneself: “Ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the desires (of your hearts) (4:135). The book which unequivocally calls for justice even when dealing with aggressors:

"O ye who believe! be steadfast firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, Let NOT a group’s hostility to you cause you to deviate from JUSTICE. Be JUST, for it is closer to piety. Be God conscious; for God is Well Aware of what you do.” (5-8).

Knowing all this, Are We Justified to ask questions and search for answers?

Knowing all this, would any true friend of Palestine, would any sane or moral person, want to see the Palestinians forced or coerced to live with such heartless warmongers?

True friends of Palestine would NOT defend the rights of thieves, murderers and serial killers to remain on STOLEN Land.

True friends of Palestine would NOT defend racist ideology, by smearing those who expose it.

True friends of Palestine would NOT object to Palestinian aspiration of FULL Liberation.

True friends of Palestine would NOT divert the attention from the Real Criminals only to focus on a vague phantomic concept that can be dropped at any moment after achieving its goals.

True Humanists and True Friends of Palestine would most certainly not shy away from speaking the TRUTH even when it hurts, and even against their own people.

Nahida Izzat: "I am -Jerusalem born- Palestinian refugee living in exile for over 40 years. I was forced to leave my homeland, Palestine at the age of seven during the six-day war.

I am a mathematician by profession but art is one of my favourite pastimes, I love hand-made things, so I make dolls, cards, and most of my own clothes.

I also write poetry, and participate in dialogues with known and unknown friends as I believe that communication is the first step of understanding, I believe in building bridges not walls.

My shy nature hinders me from public speaking, so I try to compensate for my shortcomings by writing! I started writing about three years ago when my friends insisted I should write about my memories, experiences, and my feelings as a Palestinian. So I self published two books (I Believe in Miracles and Palestine, The True Story) [Biographical information: Growing Gardens for Palestine]
