ADL CAN'T DESTROY MEARSHEIMER AND WALT
By Rev. Ted Pike
18 Sep 07
The
Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, by professors John Mearsheimer
and Stephen Walt, plows like a bulldozer through the underbrush
of Zionist propaganda. Their book paves a road for others to seek
and spread the whole truth about America 's Mideast commitments
and the real reason we went to war in Iraq.
The
Anti-Defamation League's Abe Foxman leads Jewish opposition
to the professors' work. The release of Foxman's new
book, The
Deadliest Lies: The Israel Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control,
was timed to coincide with the Israel Lobby's release.
But
like a Palestinian throwing stones at an Israeli tank, Foxman is
out-muscled by Mearsheimer and Walt's powerfully reasoned,
massively documented, and surprisingly easy-to-read work. The two
authors are academic elites. Mearsheimer is a distinguished professor
of political science at the University of Chicago, and Walt is the
former dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
They challenge the presumptions of the fourth military superpower
in the world, Israel, and its "amen chorus" in Congress.
Unfortunately,
Mearsheimer and Walt discount as "anti-Semitic" the truth
that Jews dominate American media, contributing to Zionist influence
on US foreign policy. (See, Jews
Confirm Big Media Is Jewish) They also reject the reality that
much of Israel 's abominable behavior toward Palestinians is fueled
by Talmudic racism. (See, The
Talmud: Scalpel that Bleeds the Mideast)
They
rightly contend, however, that U.S. support of Israel 's brutality
against Palestinians is the seminal cause of Arab rage and international
Muslim terrorism, including 9/11 (pp. 64-70). They affirm that Israel
serves no vital U.S. strategic interest. Instead, the Israel lobby
and neoconservatives (many of them Jewish) in the Bush administration
have led America into mid-East disaster, primarily for the benefit
of the Jewish state.
Foxman
and the Zionist establishment can't destroy this book because
the world is too suspicious of the Israel lobby's excessive power.
The American people, especially, now deeply vested in the Middle
East, want more searching explanations of how we have gone so wrong.
They are finding answers in this book.
Taking the Offensive against ADL
There's
another reason Foxman will be less successful in neutralizing this
attack than at any other time in ADL's 94-year history: Its
power and moral authority, as well as Israel 's, have been
weakened. Polls reveal heightening worldwide criticism, not only
of Israel, but of disproportionate Jewish control of the media and
US war-making potential. According to ADL statistics, in Europe,
roughly 1 out of 2 persons is to some degree critical of Jewish control.
The
National Prayer Network, joined by an increasing number of critics,
has played a significant part in undermining ADL's credibility with
millions of Americans. In 2001, our 80-minute video, Hate
Laws: Making Criminals of Christians, brought to video reality what The
Spotlight newspaper (now American
Free Press) and Michael Collins Piper have
exposed since the late 1980s: ADL's massive spying on Christian/conservative
Americans and Muslims.
ADL
has amassed vast, secret, illegal lists of the names and personal
information of those they consider a threat to their left-wing agenda.
Our film also documents how ADL/B'nai B'rith has taken
away free speech, especially in Canada, and wants to do the same
through state and federal “anti-hate” laws in America.
With
many thousands sold by NPN and with public access TV airings across
America, viewings on Alex Jones' website (www.prisonplanet.com)
and video.google.com, at least
100,000 people have watched this video. Considering how few people
even recognize the ADL/hate laws threat, this is an impressive number
of informed Americans. Many now realize that ADL/B'nai B'rith is
unrivalled as the greatest global threat to free speech and Christian/conservative
values.
In
2004, ADL's national executive board member Philadelphia DA
Lynne Abraham had 11 Christians arrested and jailed for the “hate
crime” of witnessing to homosexuals. (See, Philadelphia
pursues "Hate Crimes" Charges Against Christians) I
seized this rare opportunity to prove to millions of listeners, on
more than 300 national radio and TV interviews, that ADL and its
parent organization B'nai B'rith International are virulently
anti-Christian. ADL is determined to persecute and destroy Christianity
through “anti-hate” and workplace "bias crime" legislation.
Just
this week on 13 national radio interviews and www.rense.com,
I warned well over a half million Americans against ADL's two
federal hate crimes bills now before Congress. I did not neglect
to explain ADL's role in creating this Orwellian legislation. 1 The
cumulative effect of such educational outreach by NPN has been to
weaken ADL's image and credibility in the eyes of not only
the American public but the world.
Because
of huge public sympathy with the embattled Philadelphia Christians,
it became possible for me to speak out against ADL to unprecedented
numbers. Interviewed by such influential alternative talk radio hosts
as John Stadtmiller, Daryl Bradford Smith, Rick Adams, Jack McLamb,
and, later, Jeff Rense, we brought unheard-of candor to discussion
of the previously unmentionable, darker side of Judaism. As a result
of ADL's blunder in Philadelphia, the Genesis and Republic networks
are now providing unrestrained free speech opportunities for many
emerging first rate talk show hosts. At least a dozen will put me
on at a moment's notice to warn against Zionism, Talmudism
and ADL influence behind hate laws.
And
not a moment too soon. If ADL enjoyed the level of confidence from
the public and evangelical Christians that existed before the Philly
11 outrage, there is an excellent chance ADL, working in concert
with the Jewish-dominated media, could have made presentation of
the Mearsheimer-Walt thesis impossible. As has been the case for
the last 75 years, no major publisher would have touched it; and
even if they had, the same media powers of smear and intimidation
that destroyed Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the John Birch Society, Barry
Goldwater and George Wallace would have silenced these authors.
Yes
the world is angry at Israel 's mistreatment of Palestinians
as never before. Yet the phenomena of Mearsheimer and Walt did not
spring full-flower from academia in response to popular demand. A
market for this truth was only made possible by years of anti-Zionist
education by groups such as American Free Press, alternative talk
radio and other anti-Zionist, Christian-conservative activists, including
the National Prayer Network. We have all played a vital role (some
for decades) in preparing the grassroots level so that the Ivy League
level and its large publishers can find a fertile base of economic
support.
A
restrained ADL means Americans can begin to think for themselves
about Israel and the Middle East. Also, since many evangelicals
and their leaders are waking to the fact that ADL promotion of hate
laws worldwide is intended to persecute Christians, they are even
less inclined to view ADL propaganda with sympathy.
Time of Enormous Opportunity
I
recount how NPN and others helped erode ADL power to make a vital
point. When we speak the whole truth, as God commanded the prophet
Jeremiah, not sparing a word, it paves a road on which other bearers
of the truth may travel. How sad it would be today if, three years
ago, I had heeded the well-intentioned advice of a veteran Christian/conservative
talk show host to never mention ADL. He told me I would be destroyed
at the outset of my campaign to defeat hate laws. If ADL did
not crucify me, pro-Zionist Christians and conservatives would dismiss
me as “anti-Semitic.” America might come under
control of hate laws, he suggested, because I insisted on speaking
the whole truth! Better, he said, to tell half the truth, create
a large non-controversial movement, and thus save freedom.
Exactly
the opposite happened. I spoke the whole truth about ADL in virtually
every interview. ADL still remains silent about my ministry. The
nation and many Christians listened, unable to refute my documentation.
Now men of academic prowess and respectability are freer to speak
some of the most vital and redeeming truths our nation can hear.
God
is truth, and His Holy Spirit has been given to believers to lead
us into all truth. For this reason, God has a special interest in
protecting and vindicating those who speak truth in its entirety,
fearing Him rather than man.
If
our grassroots efforts can seriously tarnish ADL, what could be done
by national Christian/conservative organizations, who influence tens
of millions? Because Jewish activists are losing their greatest advantage-
their power to smear opponents as anti-Semitic- there has never been
a better time to criticize, and thus destroy ADL- this monstrous
fountain of anti-Christianity and freedom-stealing legislation!
For
the first time in the last century, some Jewish leaders caution
the Jewish community not to use the term “anti-Semitic” to
destroy those who criticize Israel. The Jewish
Week 2 quotes the Jewish Council for Public Affairs concerning
Mearsheimer and Walt: "Whether they are or aren't anti-Semitic,
tactically it's probably not a good idea to use the label because
they just turn it around and say, 'We told you so, you can't criticize
Israel without being labeled anti-Semitic.' [Martin] Raffel said,
'Instead, we are urging people to counter their arguments on the
merits, calmly and rationally.'"
Although
ADL continues to discredit Mearsheimer and Walt as anti-Semitic,
their use of the term has also become much more restrained- perhaps
because they recently had to pay $14 million to a Colorado filmmaker
they falsely labeled anti-Semitic! Never have critics of ADL had
less to fear. Increasingly, ADL has to deal with criticism of Israel
on the level playing of factual, intellectual exchange. This is an
enormous loss and a challenge they have never had.
God
has given us an extraordinary opportunity. Not only Christian watchdog
groups, but everyone must seize this chance to speak out and end
the influence of ADL. If we don't, ADL will destroy Christian influence
and the freedoms it has given to the nations.
ADL
has sworn that if its hate bill is defeated in Congress, it will
repeatedly reintroduce it until America becomes a hate crimes bureaucracy
like Canada, ending free speech. How long do freedom-loving Americans
have to endure such evil?
Destroy ADL – Or Be Destroyed!
In
the book of Judges, Gideon, with his divinely aided, tiny force,
routed Israel 's Midianite oppressors, but God required the whole
nation to join the chase, driving them from the land. Some chose
a “wait and see” policy, and God cursed and punished
them.
Truly,
to paraphrase Shakespeare, this is a crest in the tide of human affairs
of which we must take greatest advantage. Conservative organizations
must characterize ADL, as they have ACLU for decades, as an enemy
of Christianity and freedom. In order to save Christian civilization,
70 million evangelical Christians must know ADL is their enemy and
hold it in contempt. If a liar is exposed and shamed, he no longer
is able to deceive; his influence is destroyed.
ADL's
site gives evangelicals clear evidence that ADL is behind
hate laws. My video Hate Laws: Making Criminals
of Christians shows
how ADL took away freedom in Canada and wants to do the same in
America. (Watch: Hate
Laws: Making Criminals of Christians) Christian/conservative
organizations could make no greater contribution to freedom and
the end of anti-Christian activism and legislation than by destroying
ADL by a chorus of disapproval right now.
Christ
said, “Work while it is yet day, for the night cometh when
no man can work.” (John 9:4) With encroachment of hate crimes
laws worldwide, and ADL/B'nai B'rith's threatened end of internet
freedom, we do not know how long we will be able to speak the whole
truth. (See, Global
Hate Crimes Gestapo Being Created) From the highest place each
of us can find - church, pulpit, talk radio, and Internet, etc.,
we must speak the truth— all of it—today!
Endnote:
1. Last week on Pat Kiley's "Follow the Money" radio
program, (130 affiliates) I was given the microphone to explain to
an estimated 600,000 listeners how ADL/B'nai B'rith have originated "hate" and
workplace "bias" legislation, including Kennedy's Federal
Hate Crimes Bill S.A. 2067 and "ENDA", "the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act" H.R. 2015. Jeff Rense also posted
my article "Hate Bills Top Democrat Agenda" at Rense.com
(500,000 visits daily) in which I also blame ADL with such freedom
stealing legislation. (Rense
article)
