“After so many years
of setting the tone, bribing UK politicians and
controlling the BBC they (Zionists) are used
to being untouchable.” - (Gilad Atzmon, “Britain Must
de-Zionist Itself Immediately,” Nov. 17, 2009, MWC
News). This week the British
people listened to the Daily Mall’s Peter Oborne
present, on Channel 4, his devastating account of the
Jewish lobby’s control of their government. Now we
know that virtually all the principal politicians in
the UK of both parties, like their brothers across the
lake in our House and Senate, take “contributions”
from the Israeli lobby machine ensuring that the
Anglo-American mid-east policies follow the dictates
of the Israeli government. Gilad Atzmon responded to
this report in his article “Britain must de-Zionise
itself immediately,” noting that this control has been
in place for so many years the lobby feels
“untouchable.” How many years are
“many” one might ask? In 1941, the High Commissioner
of Palestine, Harold MacMichael, Senior Palestine
Mandate officer for the British Mandate forces in
Palestine, sent the following “Top Secret” “Memorandum
on the Participation of the Jewish National
Institutions in Palestine in Acts of Lawlessness and
Violence” to the Secretary of State, dated October
16th, a report prepared by The Palestine Police,
Criminal Investigation Department: The memorandum
illustrates—indeed, brings into full limelight—the
fact that the Mandatory is faced potentially with as
grave a danger in Palestine from Jewish violence as it
ever faced from Arab violence, a danger infinitely
less easy to meet by the methods of repression which
have been employed against Arabs. In the first place,
the Jews … have the moral and political support … of
considerable sections of public opinion both in the
United Kingdom and the United States of America … all
the influence and political ability of the Zionists
would be brought to bear to show that the Jews in
Palestine were the victims of aggression, and that a
substantial body of opinion abroad would be persuaded
of the truth of the contention. Quite obviously,
MacMichael understands that the Mandatory has little
power at home over the zealous actions of the Zionists
as they manipulate public and political opinion even
as they expand their terrorism against the British
Mandate government in Palestine. This is an untenable
position to be in, responsible for government control
and security of those under its authority, i.e.
Palestinians as well as Jews, and knowing that the
Jews are set on driving the British out of Palestine,
and knowing that the home government can offer little
help. The Zionists and their
“gangs,” a euphemism for well equipped and well
trained military forces, launched a full scale
terrorist rebellion against the British by robbing
banks, indiscriminate killing of British police, and
the assassination of British minister-resident Lord
Moyne in 1944. By the end of World War II things got
even worse: “The Haganah carried out anti-British
military operations—liberation of interned immigrants
from the Atlit camp; the bombing of the country’s
railroad network; sabotage raids on radar
installations and bases of the British police mobile
force; sabotage of British vessels … and the
destruction of all road and railroad bridges on the
borders.” All of this terrorism was conducted against
the Mandate Government while the home government
remained silent under the pall of Israeli Zionist
propaganda (Meir Pa’il, “From Hashomer to the Israel
Defense Forces: Armed Jewish Defense in Palestine,”
World War II). www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/source/History/resist.htm.
But recording the acts
of terrorism does not do justice to the conditions the
Mandate government faced. MacMichael describes the
reality of the forces aligned against the police in
Palestine. A second matter which
deeply impressed me is the almost Nazi control
exercised by the official Jewish organizations over
the Jewish community, willy nilly, through the
administration of funds from abroad, the issue of
labor certificates in connection with the immigration
quota, the forced contributions to funds and the power
of the Histadruth. … The community is under the closed
oligarchy of the Jewish official organizations which
control Zionist policy and circumscribe the lives of
the Jewish community in all directions… Perhaps one of the
most frightening observations MacMichael makes comes
at the very end of his dispatch: “As matters now stand
it seems to me inevitable that the Zionist Juggernaut
which has been created with such intensity of zeal for
a Jewish national state will be the cause of very
serious trouble in the Near East.” Prophetic words
indeed. The memorandum
provided by the Palestine Police Department includes
approximately 50 0 pages of seized documents from the
Jewish Agency and related organizations. These
documents reveal the intention of the Zionists that
controlled operations in Palestine as they worked to
force into existence a Jewish State. “We regard it as
our duty to caution you against any attempt to decide
on an anti-Zionist solution … We regard it as a duty
to utter another warning. Do not postpone the
political solution for ten years … The Jews are a
nation. The land of Israel belongs to the people of
Israel. The Jewish State will be established. It is
better that it should be established with your help
and for your benefit, than against you” (The Jewish
Resistance Movement, March 25th, 1946, Rhodes House
Archives). The Mandate Criminal
Investigation Department was headed by Richard Catling.
Catling’s memorandum begins with an understanding of
the “intricate Jewish political, social and economic
structure in Palestine.” A series of appendices chart
these structures marking in passing that “… the
Palestine Royal Commission Report of 1937 understood
‘The Agency (Jewish) is obviously not a governing
body; it can only advise and cooperate in a certain
wide field.’ But allied as it is with the Vaad Leumi,
and commanding the allegiance of the great majority of
the Jews in Palestine, it unquestionably exercises,
both in Jerusalem and in London, a considerable
influence on the conduct of government.” Catling’s
frustration with the actual control of the Jews over
British policy in Palestine glares through this
document: “This powerful and efficient organization
amounts in fact, to a government existing side by side
with the Mandatory Government…” The Zionist controlled
Jewish Agency actively undermined the legal authority
in Palestine even as it operated to undermine support
for that government in Britain, placing UK forces in
harms way as they attempted to fulfill their
authorized responsibilities in Palestine. It also
demonstrates the determination of the Agency’s
leadership in undermining the very nation that gave it
a means of establishing a “homeland” in Palestine
through the Balfour Declaration. The wording of that
declaration is rarely presented in its full form: “His
Majesty’s government view with favor the establishment
in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,
and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the
achievement of this object, it being clearly
understood that nothing shall be done which may
prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing
non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and
political status enjoyed by Jews in any other
country.” The declaration did not intend to establish
a Jewish State. Indeed, the wording, “national home,”
was used intentionally instead of “state.”
Additionally, the first draft referred to the
principle ‘that Palestine should be’ reconstituted ‘as
the national home of the Jewish people.’ In the final
text, the word ‘that’ was replaced with ‘in’ to avoid
committing all of Palestine to the Jews only.
Now perhaps we can
answer the question, “How many years has the British
government been under the control of the Zionist
influence?” Three score and ten, the biblical age.
Perhaps it’s time that Britain is reborn, free from
the shackles that bind it to this corrupt power that
flouts international law, wantonly commits crimes
against humanity, and in brazen arrogance tells the
Nations United to shove its demands to comply with the
civilized communities of the world. (Note: Sir Richard C.
