Alex Kurtagic: Over the years, every time I have come across this historic photograph of Rabin and Arafat signing their 1993 accord, I find myself irritated by it. Why?
The problem is Bill Clinton, and the fact that I cannot help thinking this photograph was painstakingly planned and choreographed well in advance. I can imagine Clinton’s advisers debating over what colour tie and suit he should wear, whose hand he should shake and in what order, where he should look and for how long, and what facial expression he should pull and for how long. Or maybe not — perhaps Clinton wholly or partly thought of it himself. All the same, the image looks very deliberately staged, consciously designed to be iconic, and amounts, therefore, to an insult to the viewer’s intelligence.
In the video footage, Clinton takes the lead by first shaking Rabin’s hand. He then proceeds to shake Arafat’s, before spreading his arms magnanimously and nudging Arafat in Rabin’s direction, encouraging him with his gaze and through gentle physical pressure as well, to shake the Israeli Prime Minister’s hand.
Big and dopey Clinton smiles with satisfaction as the crowd cheers, right on cue.
Notice, in addition, how Clinton keeps his face fixed on Arafat. Why does he not look at Rabin? Perhaps because he or his advisors have worked out that by angling his head so that he and Rabin look in the same direction he would emphasise graphically the fact that Israel and the United States are united on the same side.
Arafat — not the sharpest tool in the box — takes up the role with gusto, and proceeds to shake everyone’s hand, to everyone’s (except Clinton’s) bemusement. It is clear that it never occurred to Peres to shake Arafat’s proffered hand.
In the end, of course, the peace accord came to nought, as have all subsequent attempts at a negotiated agreement. Why?
Because the Israeli leadership is not, and has never been, interested in peace: they are only interested in conquest and hegemony over the region. It is — or should — be obvious to everyone with half a brain and eyes to see. Negotiations and proposed peace accords are best seen as a chess game, a tactic for keeping up appearances while the cutthroat war to the finish rages on on the ground and politically behind the scenes.
The following video, leaked and aired in Channel 10 in Israel not long ago, is instructive. It shows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking candidly back in 2001 at a constituent’s home about the Oslo Accords, the peace process, Bill Clinton, and the United States. It includes his famous comment on the power of the Israel Lobby in America: ”America is a thing that can be easily moved–moved in the right direction.”
Personally, I am not particularly bothered as to which side wins the contest, fairness or unfairness notwithstanding. Humans have attempted to conquer and oppress one another for thousands of years. I am only exercised about this particular — and otherwise tedious — conflict in the measure in which Western support for one faction affects my bank balance and my security in the streets and at the airport. As I see it, America’s unquestioning support for Israel (qualified as ‘absurd’ by Netanyahu himself) is the reason I am having to put up with delays and insane security every time I travel — and why the money I am obligated to use does not stretch as far as it once did.
Selfish? Perhaps. But I cannot care about everyone — there is a limit, and charity begins at home.

Humans have attempted to conquer and oppress one another for thousands of years.
Fair enough.
But haven’t *some* people laboriously crafted ex post facto laws, making it a “crime against humanity” and sending untold numbers to the gallows, not only the leadership at Nuremberg.
In the meantime, haven’t the same people continuously acted while dispensing themselves, and only themselves with said laws?
Americans, including a segment of American Jews, will sooner rather than later get tired of the expense & inconvenience of supporting Israel. When that happens, the fall of Israel will be swift and sudden like the fall of the USSR.
That doesn’t mean the Jews in America won’t be a pain in the ass going into the future.

I LOL-ed.
@Ion
How many people predicted the fall of the Soviet Union? Or who predicted how fast the USSR would fall?
Don’t forget. It maybe that the Jews genetic makeup is such that it makes them assholes. Maybe they can’t help themselves.
As I read Alex’s post I imagined Clinton’s advisers carefully staging this “peace” photo-op/farce. I seem to recall that a plurality if not a majority of Clinton’s white house sleaze merchants were strongly self-identified jews. Of course you also have to consider the overwhelmingly jewish financing of the Democratic party, and the massive over-representation of jews at the highest levels of the party.
Then again Clinton’s daughter just married into the tribe…
Tom wrote: “Don’t forget. It maybe that the Jews genetic makeup is such that it makes them assholes. Maybe they can’t help themselves.”
I think it’s more that whole “chosen” people crap. When you see everyone outside the group as inferior to your tribe and primarily as instruments to advance your own tribe’s interests, people begin to resent it, and if they’re stronger and larger than you, who can blame them for seeking well justified payback?
When the photograph first appeared some people did say it was staged as these photographs usually are. For some reason I seem to remember that emphasis was put on Clinton’s tie as it was dotted with small Christian crosses and that was seen as a major part of the staging.
Tom said:

Actually Tom, I think I may be seeing signs of this…very FAINT signs.
I may be imagining it, but I think I’m starting to see growing respect for the Eisenhower administration among “pop” historians. Every president from Lyndon Johnson on has had a polarizing effect on our country (due mostly to the top down induced cultural change we’ve seen over the last 50 years.) Eisenhower presided over a relatively stable period of our country’s history, and many have become wistful for that era.
Yeah, Eisenhower could be part of top down social change dictate (school integration), but he was very even-handed when it came to dealing with Israel and Arabs, or problems in the middle east. He didn’t hesitate to punish Israel and keep assistance from them (which was, back then, a fraction of what it is now)… and when he told them to get out of Sinai, they did. He knew it was important to keep Arabs from migrating to the Soviets. He understood the importance of equilibrium, and how important it was in maintaining peace. AIPAC had very little sway over Eisenhower…I believe he was even against Truman recognizing Israel as a nation in ’48.
Who thinks of Eisenhower as an anti-semite today? Some modern day Israel first “americans” like Danny Pipes sense the growing popularity of Eisenhower, and therefore try to portray him as WAY more pro-israel than he was. It’s manipulative falsehood and fabrication.
I think it’s POSSIBLE we could move back to an Eisenhower style foreign policy in regards to Israel. Of course, I’m an optimist…
ЎUf, me gustу! Tan clara y positiva.

Not a chance American Jews will turn their backs on Israel. American Jews are known to be the most zealous. They have a guilt complex since they are not residing in Israel, so they overcompensate by giving more money and offering stronger advocacy for their brethren. They will never turn their backs on Israel. Never.
I agree with Kurtagic.I could care less which side wins I’m just sick of hearing about. In fact I”m so sick of hearing about Jews,the Middle East,Israel,Palastine and the follies of these morbidly obese low IQ morons that pass for White Americans that I will probably stop visiting this website/blog. I can’t take it.
This is about Alex’s latest TOO piece about changing values of Americans. He is right that it is harder to find culture in shopping malls, but that is not entirely because of multiculturalism. It is mostly because shopping malls in general are declining. They are losing shoppers to big-box stores — large stores where one can find an enormous selection in one particular category of merchandise. The big-box bookstores Borders and Barnes & Noble have for the most part closed their mall-based outlets, Waldenbooks and B. Dalton, respectively. CDs are harder to find because younger people would rather buy MP3 files. Mall-based record/CD stores were never as low priced as their non-mall-based competitors. Meanwhile, food courts in malls have exploded. I suppose these changes in the demographics of malls have made them more appealing to shoppers of color but it isn’t what brought the changes on.
Rabin has the forehead and skull of an African. He clearly has some Sub-Saharan DNA, as very many Jews do.
The Clinton-Arafat photo is just the tip of the iceberg.
Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly said “When
we’re done with the USA, it will blow away in wind.”
The US is being bankrupted by endless wars for
Israel. These wars and related military-industrial
complex expenses are in hundreds of billions per year.
American foreign policy and business investment are
severely comprised by slavish devotion to Israeli
policies. The lifeblood of the USA is being sucked
out by parasitic Israel.
If the Jews win in the “Middle East”, “we” lose. Simple as that. It is a proxy war and “our” future is on the line. We are all Palastinians to the jews. And lets not forget that Eisenhower was a jew as well. American is full of jew worshipers, misguided patriots and wanna be chosen. They will never give up on Israel. The best thing to happen to America will be when the “Greatest Generation” and the “Boomers” pass away. Until then, “I think I’ll have a Coke.”
@ Burgermeister
Eisenhower was a Jew. LOL. Even Goebbels never claimed that.
Maybe Eisenhower was married to Tina—as in Ike & Tina. That’s more of a possibility.
@Bill
Maybe, the overwhelming majority of Jews are nuts, and will stay loyal to their Jew homeland Israel. But, unless American Jews are not human, and, don’t care about themselves, and their immediate family & posessions, Israel will end up in the Mediterranean.
The bigger question is where will the Jews go after Israel is no more?
Eisenhower’s West Point yearbook referred to him as the “Terrible Swedish Jew”. Here, see for yourself:
http://incogman.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/terrible-swedish-jew.jpg
Clinton is basically an honorary Jew. The only thing he’s missing is the actual genetics.
Tom: “Eisenhower was a Jew. LOL. Even Goebbels never claimed that.”
Eisenhower’s nickname in college was “the Swedish Jew”. That, and the fact that “Eisenhower” is a typical Jewish surname, suggests that he may have had some Jewish ancestry.
Here’s a notorious web page on the issue:
http://www.fathersmanifesto.net/eisenhower.htm
I can’t vouch for its accuracy, but there are some revealing graphics. Given the man’s actual qualifications versus those of his competitors at various points of his career, his rapid advancement does seem a bit hard to explain without a little nepotism or equivalent.
At the very least, it’s food for thought.
@ eurodale & zog
Yeah, right.
“Eisenhower’s paternal ancestors can be traced to Hans Nicolas Eisenhauer, whose surname is German for “iron worker”;[5][6] in his autobiographic book, At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends, Dwight thought the name to mean “iron craftsman”. Hans Eisenhauer and his family emigrated from Karlsbrunn (now Saarland), Germany, to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1741. Hans’s descendants traveled west; Eisenhower’s family settled in Abilene, Kansas, in 1892. His father, David Eisenhower, was a college-educated engineer but had trouble making a living and the family was poor.[7] Dwight graduated from Abilene High School in 1909.[8]“
Of course “Eisenhauer” has a German translation, as do thousands of other predominantly Jewish surnames belonging to German Jews who eventually immigrated to the US.
And then, of course, we still have the “Swedish Jew” nickname, and the question of why a 100% White boy would be called a “Jew” by other Whites and let himself be referred to that way in print and spoken word.
I don’t think that anyone can be 100% certain without further information, but the possibility demands consideration.
@eurodale
I guess you think Hitler was a Jew too? LOL.
Do you claim to have 100% reliable information either way? If so, I’m sure everyone would love to see it.
Certainty can be so hard to come by these days.
@ Eurodele
I don’t know if you went to college, but, anything that shows up in a college yearbook is at best sophomoric humor. Calling an All American football player & bmoc, a guy who tackled Jim Thorpe, of German ancestry before WWI a “Swedish Jew” fits the yearbook model. Ike was one of the few, if only, German Americans in his class.
Ike’s big promoter in the Army was Chief of Staff George Marshall, a well known anti-semite. That’s a matter of record if you want to dig the quotes up.
Understood, but that’s all highly circumstantial. Like I say, it’s hard to be sure, expecially when one can find suggestive information in either direction.
I found, after about 45 seconds worth of “research” on the net, several claims that FDR, TR and Harry Truman were all jewish. And a couple of claims that ALL American presidents have been jewish, or had ancestory.
Eisenhower hated the Germans, because:
A) they killed hundreds of thousands of allied troops, and…
B) his mom was a jehovah’s witness, one of the groups targeted by the nazis (allegedly)
I can’t state with authority that Eisenhower was or wasn’t jewish, but the fact that he said, publicly, he wouldn’t have recognized Israel had he been president in ’48 speaks volumes.
Terrible Swedish Jew sounds like silly college humor to me, a nickname in reference to his unusual name.
Hitler’s nickname was ” The Bohemian Private.”
John J. Pershing’s nickname was “Nigger Jack.”
Put your critical thinking caps on, folks.
“Put your critical thinking caps on, folks.”
Unfortunately, that won’t tell you for sure either way (many Jews have spoken out against Zionism).
But it may help you form an opinion.
eurodele, quite true. That’s ultimately what makes the jewish problem so confounding, the covertness of it all.
I should state, I’m no Eisenhower worshiper, just wish that we had a more reality based policy towards israel like he did.
@ jim
I have a pal of mine who calls Blacks’ bohemians. LOL. Naturally with a small “b”.
Hitler’s nickname was ” The Bohemian Private.”
Hitler was Austrian i.e. close enough to Bohemia.
John J. Pershing’s nickname was “Nigger Jack.”
Pershing was quadroon but passed.
Tom:”I guess you think Hitler was a Jew too? LOL.”

@ Darren
Never take anything in the British press seriously. Next week Hitler may be a space alien according to leading British scientists, and the J.Harvard School of Extraterrestial Reseach in Boston.
Although, I wouldn’t rule out someone may have been raped by a Hun, or a Turk back in any German or Austrians’ family tree.
Darren, Hitler’s nickname The Bohemian Private was a derogatory one. Paul von Hindenburg came up with it to imply that Hitler was something less than German (even though Bohemians have Germanic ties/roots.) Hindenburg apparently didn’t think Bohemia and Austria were “close enough.”
Pershing got his name from leading a black regiment. Whether he was part negro or not, I don’t know or care. His handle was brought up to illustrate how something as innocuous as a nickname can be misconstrued or have multiple interpretations.
There may be other evidence out there that Eisenhower was something other than Christian, but my original point was to identify his foreign policy towards israel as more desirable than anything we’ve had since.

““A chromosome called Haplogroup E1b1b1 which showed up in their samples is rare in Western Europe…”
That cracked me up.
Hitler wasn’t from Western Europe, so what the bloomin’ hell does the rate of E1b1b1 in Western Europe have to do with it?
“I think it’s more that whole ‘chosen’ people crap. When you see everyone outside the group as inferior to your tribe and primarily as instruments to advance your own tribe’s interests, people begin to resent it”
Absolutely dead on.
Alex, you do a fine job taking apart that picture. I’d just like to add a bit more on this. When important proposed laws get signed into actual laws, the president will typically have a backdrop of negroes, cripples, and some other supporters of the said proposed law. This is something that has irritated me a bit as well. On one hand the law is supposed to help these people, and on the other, the president is treating them like a back-drop kind of decoration. It’s de=humanizing in a way.
One thing you really missed though was the absurd dance between Arafat, Clinton and Rabin. They played it about once on the TV at the time, and it had to do with which of the three was going to be gracious enough to let the others through a doorway first. I saw it once, and it was comical. It’s just the kind of thing that they’d play forever on instant replay if the jewsmedia didn’t like the people involved. They all looked like idiots. None of them wanted to be the first one through the doorway, and so they kept backing off and rotating around one another. The Three Stooges could have used it in an episode. If I can find it on youtube, I’ll provide a link.
I remember the incident with the door. It was in July 2000, but the Israeli PM in question was not Rabin, who was assassinated some five years earlier, but Ehud Barak.
Yes, Clinton was and is a Bozo, as are most politicians. These “peace” talks were doomed to fail like all the others.
On another note, Tom references Eurodale:
“I guess you think Hitler was a Jew too? LOL.”
The allegation that Hitler himself suspected, or had proof his father Alois was the illegitimate offspring of a Jew and an Austrian girl has been around for years, if not decades. If true, Hitler was one quarter Jewish. We can surmise he would certainly have preferred to be of pure Germanic ancestry. Consequently, it’s not much of a stretch to understand this suspicion of impure lineage as a source of Hitler’s hatred of the Jewish race that he alluded to in Mein Kampf.
More succinctly, according to the half-Jewish father theory, Hitler’s manifest resentment of his “impure” roots thus gave rise to his hatred toward the Jews.
Yes…the most frequently heard rumor is that Hitler’s paternal grandmother was impregnated by a Jewish seducer while working as a domestic in the Rothschild household, the seducer being either the resident Rothschild or a Jewish houseguest thereof.
But if that’s true – if a rich Jewish sexual predator indeed impregnated an innocent little flower of German womanhood and then abandoned her and his son to live out their lives at or near the bottom of the German economic spectrum while he continued to live in filthy opulence on his family’s ill-gotten wealth – than wouldn’t Hitler be all the more justified in his contempt for rich European Jews, of whom the Rothschilds are the ultimate Big Daddies?
Of course he would. There’s no doubt about that. There’s also no doubt that this story is not exculpatory of Jews, but tends to show that Hitler was substantially correct regarding their self-serving disposition toward ethnic Germans. So Jews should actually be denying it with all their black little hearts.
