Let\u2019s be honest about who is promoting it<\/h3>\n

\nThe Unz Review<\/p>\n
Five years ago, I wrote\u00a0an article<\/a>\u00a0entitled\u00a0\u201cAmerica\u2019s Jews Are Driving America\u2019s wars.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0It turned out to be the most popular piece that I have ever written and I was rewarded for it by\u00a0immediately being fired<\/a>\u00a0by the so-called\u00a0American Conservative<\/em>\u00a0magazine, where I had been a regular and highly popular contributor for fourteen years. I opened the article with a brief description of an encounter with a supporter whom I had met shortly before at an antiwar conference. The elderly gentleman asked \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t anyone ever speak honestly about the six-hundred-pound gorilla in the room? Nobody has mentioned Israel in this conference and we all know it\u2019s American Jews with all their money and power who are supporting every war in the Middle East for Netanyahu? Shouldn\u2019t we start calling them out and not letting them get away with it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In my article I named many of the individual Jews and Jewish groups that had been leading the charge to invade Iraq and also deal with Iran along the way. They used fake intelligence and out-and-out lies to make their case and never addressed the central issue of how those two countries actually threatened the United States or its vital interests. And when they succeeded in committing the US to the fiasco in Iraq, as far as I can determine only one honest Jew who had participated in the process, Philip Zelikow, in a moment of candor,\u00a0admitted that<\/a>\u00a0the Iraq War, in his opinion, was fought for Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n There was considerable collusion between the Israeli government and the Jews in the Pentagon, White House, National Security Council and State Department in the wake of 9\/11. Under President George W. Bush, Israeli Embassy staff uniquely had free access to the Pentagon office of Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, not being required to sign in or submit any security measures. It was a powerful indication of the special status that Israel enjoyed with top Jews in the Bush Administration. It should also be recalled that Doug Feith\u2019s Office of Special Plans was the source of the false WMD information used by the Administration to justify invading Iraq, while that information was also funneled directly to Vice President Dick Cheney without any submission to possibly critical analysts by his chief of Staff \u201cScooter\u201d Libby. Wolfowitz, Feith and Libby were of course Jewish as were many on their staffs and Feith\u2019s relationship with Israel was so close that he actually partnered in a law firm that had a branch in Jerusalem. Feith also served on the board of the\u00a0Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA)<\/em>, which is dedicated to nurturing the relationship between the US and Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently, the top three State Department officials (Tony Blinken, Wendy Sherman and Victoria Nuland) are all Zionist Jews. The head of the Department of Homeland Security, which is hot on the trail of domestic \u201cterrorist\u201d dissidents, is also Jewish as is the Attorney General and the president\u2019s chief of staff. They and their boss Joe Biden do not seem concerned that their client Ukraine is no democracy. The nation\u2019s current government came into power after the 2014 coup engineered by President Barack Obama\u2019s State Department at an estimated cost of $5 billion. The regime change carried out under Barack Obama was driven by State Department Russophobe Victoria Nuland with a little help from international globalist George Soros. It removed the democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych who was, unfortunately for him, a friend of Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n Ukraine is reputedly both the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe, witness the Hunter Biden saga. The current President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish and claims to have holocaust victims in his family tree, is a former comedian who won election in 2019. He replaced another Jewish president Petro Poroshenko, after being\u00a0heavily funded and promoted<\/a>\u00a0by yet another fellow Jew and Ukraine\u2019s richest oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who is also an Israeli citizen and now lives in Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n It all sounds like\u00a0deja vu<\/em>\u00a0all over again, particularly as many of the perpetrators are still around, like Nuland, priming the pump to go to war yet again for no reason. And they are joined by journalists like Bret Stephens at the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper at\u00a0CNN<\/em>, and also Max Boot at the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>, all of whom are Jewish and can be counted on to write regular pieces both damning and demonizing Russia and its head of state Vladimir Putin, which means it is not only about the Middle East anymore. It is also about weakening and even bringing about regime change in nuclear armed Russia while also drawing some lines in the sand for likewise nuclear armed China. And I might add that playing power games with Russia is a hell of a lot more dangerous that kicking Iraq around.<\/span><\/p>\n To put it bluntly, many US government and media Jews hate Russia and even though they benefited substantially as a group by virtue of their preeminent role in the looting of the former Soviet Union under Boris Yeltsin and continue to be among the most prominent Russian oligarchs. Many of the oligarch billionaires, like Boris Berezovsky, self-exiled when Vladimir Putin obtained power and began to crack down on their tax avoidance and other illegal activity. Many moved to Western Europe where some bought up football teams while others went south and obtained Israeli citizenship. Their current grievances somewhat reflect their tribe\u2019s demand for perpetual victimhood and the deference plus forgiveness of all sins that it conveys, with the self-promoted tales of persecution going back to the days of the Tsars, full of allegations about pogroms and Cossacks arriving in the night, stories that rival many of the holocaust fabrications in terms of their lack of credibility.<\/span><\/p>\n Many Jews, particularly younger Jews, are finding it difficult to support apartheid Israel and the constant wars being initiated and fought for no particularly credible reason by both Democratic and Republican parties when in power, which is a good thing. But Jewish power in Washington and across the US is difficult to ignore and it is precisely those Jewish groups and individuals who have been empowered through their wealth and connections who have been the most vocal leading warmongers when it has come to the Middle East and to Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n Interestingly, however, some pushback is developing. The Jewish peace group\u00a0Tikkun<\/em>\u00a0has recently published a devastating\u00a0article by Jeffrey Sachs<\/a>\u00a0on the Jews who have been agitating for war. It is entitled\u00a0\u201cUkraine Is the Latest Neocon Disaster\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and describes how \u201cThe war in Ukraine is the culmination of a 30-year project of the American neoconservative movement. The Biden Administration is packed with the same neocons who championed the US wars of choice in Serbia (1999), Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003), Syria (2011), Libya (2011), and who did so much to provoke Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. The neocon track record is one of unmitigated disaster, yet Biden has staffed his team with neocons. As a result, Biden is steering Ukraine, the US, and the European Union towards yet another geopolitical debacle\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Tikkun<\/em>\u00a0explains how \u201cThe neocon movement emerged in the 1970s around a group of public intellectuals, several of whom were influenced by University of Chicago political scientist Leo Strauss and Yale University classicist Donald Kagan. Neocon leaders included Norman Podhoretz, Irving Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, Robert Kagan (son of Donald), Frederick Kagan (son of Donald), Victoria Nuland (wife of Robert), Elliott Abrams, and Kimberley Allen Kagan (wife of Frederick).\u201d It might be added that Kimberley Kagan heads the\u00a0Institute for the Study of War<\/em>, which is often cited in media coverage and even in Congress to explain why we must fight Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n It has long been recognized by many that a particular antipathy directed against Russia permeates the so-called neoconservative world view. The neocons are hugely overrepresented at the top levels of government and, as noted above, a number of them are running the State Department while also holding high level positions elsewhere in the Biden Administration as well as in the foreign policy think tanks, including Richard Haass at the influential Council on Foreign Relations. Likewise, the intensely Russophobic US and Western media, foundations and social networking sites are disproportionately Jewish in their ownership and staffing.<\/span><\/p>\n And beyond that, Ukraine is to a certain extent a very Jewish-identified place. The Jewish media in the US and elsewhere has been showering Zelensky with praise,\u00a0referring to him<\/a>\u00a0as a genuine \u201cJewish hero,\u201d a modern Maccabee resisting oppression, a\u00a0David versus Goliath<\/a>. T-shirts bearing his image are being sold that read \u201cResisting tyrants since Pharaoh\u201d while the largely Orthodox Jewish community in New York City has already been\u00a0raising millions of dollars<\/a>\u00a0for Ukrainian aid.<\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0Jewish Telegraphic Agency<\/em>\u00a0reports that<\/a>\u00a0a \u201c2020 demographic survey estimated that besides a \u2018core\u2019 population of 43,000 Jews, around 200,000 Ukrainians are technically eligible for Israeli citizenship, meaning that they have identifiable Jewish ancestry. The European Jewish Congress says that number could be as high as 400,000.\u201d If that is true, it is one of the largest Jewish communities in the world and it includes at least\u00a08,000 Israelis<\/a>, many of whom have returned to Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n As US-Russian negotiations leading up the current fighting were clearly designed to fail by the Biden Administration, one therefore has to wonder if this war against Russia is largely a product of a long enduring ethno-religious hatred coupled with a belief in the necessity for a strong American military applied as needed to dominate the world and thereby protect Israel. The neocons are most visible, but equally toxic are the Jews who would prefer to describe themselves as neoliberals or liberal interventionists, that is liberals who promote a strong, assertive American leadership role to support the basically phony catchwords \u201cdemocracy\u201d and \u201cfreedom.\u201d Both neocons and neoliberals inevitably support the same policies so they have both ends of the political spectrum covered, particularly concerning the Middle East and against Russia. They currently dominate the foreign policy thinking of both major political parties as well as exercising control over media and entertainment industry coverage of the issues that concern them, largely leaving the American public with only their viewpoint to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n There is plenty of other evidence that prominent Jews both inside and outside the Administration have been stirring things up against Russia with considerable success as President Biden has now declared insanely that his Administration is engaged in \u201ca great battle for freedom. A battle between democracy and autocracy. Between liberty and repression.\u201d He has confirmed that the US is in Ukraine\u2019s war against Russia until we \u201cwin.\u201d How else does one explain the ridiculous trip by Attorney General Merrick Garland to Kiev in late June to help set up a\u00a0war crimes investigation<\/a>\u00a0directed against Russia?<\/span><\/p>\n As Garland is supposed to be the US Attorney General, it might first be useful to investigate crimes relating to the United States. He might start with American war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan or Israeli war crimes using Washington provided weapons in Lebanon and Syria, not to mention the human rights violations using those same weapons that occur on a daily basis directed against the Palestinians. Some conservatives are also wondering why the Attorney General spends his time pursuing \u201cwhite supremacists\u201d and has failed to investigate the rioting, looting and killing that rocked the nation in the BLM Summer of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n Nevertheless, an undeterred and fearless Garland announced while in Kiev that Eli Rosenbaum, Jewish of course, and a 36-year veteran of the Justice Department who previously served as the director of the Office of Special Investigations, which was primarily responsible for identifying, denaturalizing and deporting Nazi war criminals, will lead a War Crimes Accountability team made up of DOJ experts in investigating Russian human-rights abuses. After the obligatory photo op sucking up to Zelensky, the diminutive but steely eyed Attorney General declared that \u201cThere is no hiding place for war criminals. The US Justice Department will pursue every avenue of accountability for those who commit war crimes and other atrocities in Ukraine. Working alongside our domestic and international partners, the Justice Department will be relentless in our efforts to hold accountable every person complicit in the commission of war crimes, torture and other grave violations during the unprovoked conflict in Ukraine.\u201d And if any further evidence required to demonstrate the Jewishness of that week in Kiev, actor Ben Stiller, also a Jew, visited Zelensky and gave him a big hug.<\/span><\/p>\n If Eli Rosenbaum is still seriously interested in finding Nazis he will find many more of them in Ukraine than within the Russian Army. So, one has to ask \u201cWhose war is it and who is making it happen?\u201d Can you please explain Joe Biden? Or, given your perpetual blank look, should I ask Merrick Garland or Tony Blinken or maybe even Victoria Nuland?<\/span><\/p>\n Philip M.
