  • 1 Understanding the Zionist World Cons Piracy
    1 Understanding The Zionist World Cons piracy Zionism is a Cultural Cancer that is Destroying White Nations! By Making Destructive Behavior Socially Acceptable The Zionists have emasculated our nation by destroying our pride in America‘s Christian history. Without a commonly held memory a nation ceases to exist as a cohesive unit. The Zionists have labeled America‘s Christian Founding Fathers as ―racists‖ and ―white slavers‖ while at the same time suppressing the fact that the Zionists fi- nanced and participated in the Black slave trade. The Zionists have promoted multicultura lis m, celebrating every culture, no matter how backward and barbaric, except for White Western European culture. The Zionists have dri- ven our Christian heritage from the public square through the efforts of the ADL and the ACLU Lobby Groups. American children will grow up in a society wiped clean of any vestiges of the Bible, Christ or the Cross. However, the Menorah is still allowed in public displays and in the White House for Hannukah celebrations. The Zionists have torn our borders wide open, permitting, indeed cheering, the Third World immigrants who will soon replace the White Christian American majority. The Jacob Javits‘s and the Lautenbergs have designed legislation that will, in the not too distant future, eventually genocide the White Race of people. They have done all this while simultaneously supporting a Zionist-only State in the Middle East. The Zionists have pushed, created and profited from pornography and perverse entertainment. The Zionists make up 90% of all American pornog- raphers. The Hollywood they run has mainstreamed wife-swapping, common law marriages, fornication, homo- sexuality, lesbianism, transvestitism, pedophilia, drug and alcohol abuse and self-indulgence.

  • Special Rapporteur at OHCHR-EU Seminar on "Strenghtening EU-UN
    Check against delivery STRENGTHENING EU-UN CO-OPERATION IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION Intolerance and discrimination against Arabs and Muslims Statement by Mr. Githu Muigai Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance Brussels, 14 October 2009 Chairperson, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a great honour and an immense pleasure to be here and have this opportunity to exchange views on ways and means of strengthening EU-UN cooperation in the struggle against all forms of discrimination in Europe. I was invited to speak on intolerance and discrimination against Arabs and Muslims. As UN Special Rapporteur on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, discrimination targeting Muslims falls within the remit of my mandate when linked to discrimination on the ground of ethnic origin. But, while I will mainly focus my presentation on the situation of Arabs and Muslims in Europe, I would like to stress that other regions are also affected by instances of racial and religious discrimination and incitement to hatred. Moreover, I am of the view that discrimination and incitement to hatred affect members of other religious and ethnic groups and should also be addressed in appropriate fora. There is a definite correlation between ethnicity and religious affiliation. The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), in which our distinguished moderator was a member, has also come to this conclusion by referring to intersectionality between race and religion. Indeed CERD also addresses issues of religious discrimination when linked to racial discrimination. In Europe, people of Arab origin are often associated with Islam.

CSIS serves as a strategic planning partner for the government by conducting research and analysis and developing policy initiatives that look into the future and antici- pate change.

The article is based both on the theoretical analysis of the realities of contemporary Europe heterogeneous from the culture related point of view but being entangled in demographic problems and suffering from the flood of refugees and migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, as well as on the empirical research done on the young generation of the so called ‘Euro Arabs’, who are representatives of the Arab world from 15 countries, living in Europe and that are the peculiar cultural hybrid which combines the elements of mass culture and tradition. Keywords: ‘Euro Arabs’, cultural assimilation, integration, acculturation, diffusion of cultures 1. Instead of the Introduction: A etiology of the Conflict of Cultures in Europe The coexistence of the Arabs and the European nations is a very complex as well as politically and medially sensitive issue, especially in the realities of the mass expansion of representatives of the Arab culture in the ‘old continent’.

  • Zionism, Demography and Democracy in Mandate Palestine
    People Who Count: Zionism, Demography and Democracy in Mandate Palestine By Nimrod Lin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Nimrod Lin 2018 People Who Count: Zionism, Demography and Democracy in Mandate Palestine Nimrod Lin Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines the ways in which demographic knowledge shaped Zionist attitudes towards majority rule and minority rights in Mandate Palestine (1917-1948). In 1917, Jews comprised 10% of Palestine’s population; by 1947, their share of the population rose to 30%, almost entirely due to immigration from Europe. The Zionist Organization was aware of this trend and articulated its political demands in accordance with not only the current number of Jews living in Palestine, but also statistical projections of the number of Jews who would enter the country in the future. I argue that from a demographic-political point of view, the Mandate years should be divided into two periods. Between 1917 and 1937, the Zionist leadership successfully prevented the establishment of majoritarian self-governing institutions, and espoused the principle of mutual non-domination, which dictated that Jews would not rule over Arabs and vice versa. In practice, the Zionists advocated the creation of two separate autonomous national communities under British federal rule, or complete parity between Jews and Arabs in Palestine’s self-governing institutions. Although the British and the Arabs rejected both proposals, the Zionist leadership was able to prevent the creation of a joint political structure in which the Arabs would enjoy a clear majority.

  • THE IMAGE of ARABS in the SOURCES of AMERICAN CULTURE by Marsha Hamilton
    CHOICE. 1991, vol 28: p. 1271-1281. http://www.cro2.org/ © 1991, Marsha Hamilton THE IMAGE OF ARABS IN THE SOURCES OF AMERICAN CULTURE By Marsha Hamilton Editor's note: This essay was first proposed to CHOICE in the spring of 1989; it was formally commissioned in October of that year. During the final weeks of its editing for publication, world events added a special relevance. The names of other national and ethnic groups could be substituted—the literature about such groups would demonstrate the same need for and benefits of greater knowledge. Timely and particular as it now happens by chance to be, the import of this essay is also timeless and universal. The Middle East is seldom out of the news. Civil unrest, terrorism, and volatile political personalities all reinforce Americans' negative mental image of the Arab world, the Arab people, and Islam. In ignorance, Americans think of Arabs, Turks, and Iranians as one ethnic group; forget that not all Arabs are Muslims; and fail to understand that peoples in the Middle East are as diverse as those found in the United States. How we Americans depict other cultures may say more about our own fears and values than about the cultures represented. Many American images of other peoples have their sources in European, especially British, culture. For hundreds of years, Europeans and Americans have viewed the Arab Middle East in terms of a few unchanging stereotypical images: the wealthy sheikh, the harem beauty, the religious fanatic, or the downtrodden peasant. These images were common in Colonial America; yet despite massive social change in the Arab world, they remain virtually unchanged in American popular culture today.

The respective histories of immi- gration and settlement by Muslim populations are outlined, along with the rel- evant immigration and ‘ethnic affairs’ policies and the resulting demographics. The article traces the ideologies of xenophobia that developed in Britain and Australia over this period. It records a transition from anti-Asian and anti-Arab racism to anti-Muslim racism, reflected in and responding to changes in the identities and cultural politics of the minority communities.
