The Race Against Lies
By Phyllis Chesler
History may be written the victors, but popular opinion is made by those with the most influential, commiserating friends. It's why millions of Jews died in the Holocaust before the United States entered WWII and drove the Nazis out of Germany. And it's why the Western left and Arab world are united in their solidarity with the Palestinians, and irresponsible, blatantly false anti-Israel propaganda is all the rage at film festivals around the world.
In the 1940s, when the media and American leadership wouldn't let US citizens know of the horrors of Auschwitz and Hitler's death squads, a handful of activists took it upon themselves to get the word to the American people. And today, I will follow their example, and make available a series of documentaries that honestly and accurately depict the Israel-Palestinian conflict on my web site, www.Phyllis-Chesler.com.
In 1942, Palestinian Jew Peter Bergson (a.k.a. Hillel Kook, the nephew of the first Chief Rabbi of Israel) and a small band of activists began an extraordinary and heartbreaking "race against death" as they tirelessly campaigned for American assistance to rescue the doomed Jews of Europe. When Kook began, two million Jews had already been exterminated. Tirelessly, Kook lobbied Congress, staged public and theatrical rallies, and placed paid ads in the nation's leading newspapers. His ads asked: "They Are Driven to Death Daily, But Can They Be Saved?” and "How Well Are You Sleeping?"
America's failure to respond was due to the lingering effects of the Great Depression, nativism, and anti-Semitism. In addition, Kook's efforts were actively obstructed by the American State Department, the media, (especially the New York Times), and the leaders of organized American Jewry (especially Rabbi Stephen Wise, Congressman Sol Bloom, New York state judge Samuel Rosenman, communal leader Nahum Goldmann and Ira Hirshmann of the War Refugee Board).
However, Kook was backed by Ben Hecht, Max Lerner, media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, many orthodox rabbis, and many Christian legislators such as congressman Will Rogers, Jr., and senators Guy Gillette, Edwin Johnson, and Elbert Thomas. When the New York Times refused to print the truth about what was happening to the Jews or when they buried it on back pages, Bergson had Hecht compose eye-catching paid ads in the New York Times and other papers.
In their riveting book, Race Against Death: Peter Bergson, America and the Holocaust, Professors David S. Wyman and Raphael Medoff carefully and dramatically document all of this. The heart of the book is a never-before-released twelve-hour interview with Kook himself which Wyman conducted in 1973. The parallels to today's world are chilling. Actually, in some ways, the situation today is worse. The propaganda campaign against the Jews and the Jewish state is far more global and technologically sophisticated. The receptivity to Big Lies, especially if they are visually presented, is even greater today than it was sixty-four years ago. Such propaganda not only flourishes on every continent, especially in the Islamic world, but is especially favored by progressives, humanitarians, academics, and leftists in the West.
There are about 14 million Jews left in the world. Each and every one, but the Jews of Israel most of all, are being systematically and perilously endangered by this non-stop onslaught of propaganda.
The Western media has still not caught on to the way in which Arabs and Palestinians are systematically using media technology to brainwash people with simplistic and highly biased versions of reality. Photo opportunity journalism, staged Israeli shootings and massacres, especially of children, are rampant; true depictions of Israeli security fence building, Palestinian home demolitions, and the alleged purposeful killing of political activists (such as Rachel Corrie of the International Solidarity Movement) are systematically presented out of context and in totally one-sided ways. The propagandists never, ever show the numerous acts of kindness and ethical behaviors on the part of the Israeli Defense Forces nor do they show the systematic slaughter of innocent Israeli civilians, nearly half of whom are women and children.
The Great Propagandists focus only on the Palestinian "refugees" who are seen as the innocent victims of Israeli aggression. They never show us the human face of the true refugees of the Middle East who are (persecuted) Jews from Arab countries whom Israel absorbed with no help from the UN, or from UNRWA, nor do they explain that Palestinian suffering is primarily due to corrupt and murderous Palestinian and Arab leadership. In my view, Israel is definitely and regrettably responsible for at least 5% of Palestinian suffering; but no more. I have gone on record over the years, as have many other Jews, protesting this 5%. It is important not to pretend that 5% responsibility is equal to 95% responsibility.
On August 12, 2004, HBO will be airing James Miller's BBC/Channel 4 film, “Death in Gaza,” (in Arabic and Hebrew) in which he interviewed Palestinian children only. Presumably, Miller was going to interview Israeli children too but he never did. Miller's widow, Sophy, has gone on record accusing the Israelis of purposely killing him on his last day of shooting in Gaza; if this was indeed his last day then perhaps Miller did not plan to interview any Israeli children after all.
After his death, Miller's wife and colleagues finished the film for him, and began a campaign seeking "Justice for James Miller." The film has been aired at many film festivals to rave reviews. The fact that the script was written by acclaimed journalist, Saira Shah, with whom Miller worked on “Beneath the Veil,” which was broadcast by CNN, ensures a devoted and vocal following. Shah, who is the English-born daughter of an Afghan father, is also the author of the “Storyteller’s Daughter,” which is a beautifully written book about her search for her Afghan roots.
Nearly four years ago, propagandists claimed that Israelis purposely killed the young boy, Mohammed al-Dura; the photo of al-Dura in his father's lap instantly became the icon for the al-Aqsa Intifada. By now we know that the boy most definitely was not killed by Israelis; ongoing investigations may soon reveal that the boy either may not have died at all--or may have been killed by Palestinians on purpose. Crazy? But what if it's true? Mohammed Bakri's film “Jenin, Jenin,” showed the Israelis committing a massacre there. Like “Death in Gaza,” Bakri's film has also been acclaimed at numerous film festivals. But, although Bakri is the darling of the Israeli left, and has been protected by the Israeli Supreme Court, the film is a lie.
There is only one filmmaker who has presented the truth in the matter of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and his nom de guerre is Pierre Rehov. I interviewed him in my home a few weeks ago. Rehov lives in Paris and, until the al-Aqsa Intifada, only visited Israel "for fun in Eilat." That changed in 2000. Since then, he has made six films about the Arab-Israeli conflict and is currently working on a seventh. When he could not get a distributor in France for his first film, he simply enclosed it in the copies of the magazine that he himself distributed monthly in France. Soon, everyone was talking about--and pirating the film. His “The Road to Jenin” was a huge success on Israeli television.
Rehov has not yet attracted a network to showcase his six films nor does he have a distributor in the United States. His latest film, “Hostages of Hatred,” will be shown at the upcoming Hampton International Film Festival. His films have been seen in both France and Israel. Indeed, on the anniversary of the Park Hotel Passover massacre in Netanya (which led to the Israeli incursion into Jenin), Rehov showed his film about Jenin and dedicated it to the 24 Israeli soldiers who died going into Jenin on foot from booby-trapped house to booby-trapped house, vulnerable to sniper-fire every inch of the way. Rehov invited the families of the dead soldiers and the survivors of the Park Hotel massacre. He personally fed 400 people. A former chief rabbi of Israel presided at a Passover seder table which stood in the exact spot where the suicide terrorist had blown himself and 32 Israelis to pieces. The rabbi said: "The only time that the blood libel against the Jews was ever true, (that Jews used non-Jewish blood to make matzot), was here, where the suicide bomber's blood mingled with Jewish blood on this Passover."
In Peter Bergson's/Hillel Kook's honor I have resolved that I must, in a small way, act as Kook would have done at this moment in history. Thus, starting today, on August 11, 2004, my website, (www. phyllis-chesler.com), will be hosting the recent films of Algerian born Jew, Pierre Rehov. I want those people who will watch “Death in Gaza” to finally have the option to see "the other side," in my view the truer side, which Rehov captures in his films. “Silent Exodus” is about the approximately one million Jews who had to flee Arab countries and about what their lives were like under Islam before Israel became a sovereign entity. “Hostages of Hatred” is a film which primarily interviews Palestinians--including children--about their views. The hero of “Hostages” is, perhaps, Bassam-Eid, the Director of Human Rights Monitoring for Palestine who bravely "tells it like it is." “The Road to Jenin” is Rehov's film about what really happened in Jenin.
The esteemed Bergson/Kook paid for ads in the NY Times when the major media (other than Hearst's publications) refused to print the truth. I can do no less. It is little enough to do. Please view his films at my website. Please send us your comments. Please help him find a distributor and a network.
Point of Information: I have submitted three of Rehov's films to HBO and begged them to consider airing any one of them. I have been told that the process takes from 4-6 weeks. I have also asked for a review copy of “Death in Gaza.” They have promised to get me one but as of this writing, I have yet to see the film. However, I googled more than 400 descriptions and reviews of it.

Jews are doing themselves and the rest of the Western world a great disfavor by clinging to this extreme view opf ZIONAZZISM !
WE IN THE WEST NEED A VIABLE DEMOCRATIC ISRAELI STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST TO ACT AS A BALLAST FOR Islamo-RAG-ghism.

...Oho, yea, and stop killing innocent people, all for the sake of these ABSURD CONCEPTS of EloHIM-for-us-and-fuck-all-others!

WE IN THE WEST NEED A VIABLE DEMOCRATIC ISRAELI STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST TO ACT AS A BALLAST FOR Islamo-RAG-ghism. But, no such state can be agreed upon, by all WESTERN ELEMENTS that count, untill SION in general come to the middle of the political and religious spectrum and OFFICIALLY MODIFY classical "chosenistic and protocollist" views of ITSELF !
...Oho, yea, and stop killing innocent people, all for the sake of these ABSURD CONCEPTS of EloHIM-for-us-and-fuck-all-others!

So that's your explanation for the past 3000 years of antisemitism then... for the Arab genocide of the Jews, for the European genocide of the Jews... but wait!
Exactly!

That's where you're wrong! There's too many pro-terror factions within all the Christ based religions... so you'd fail - and then have to blame Christianity for the protocollism... while Islam seeps across the globe and one nation after another fall to shariah.
Those "too many pro-terror factions within all the Christ based religions" of YOURS are all left-wing COMMIES - A JEWISH INVENTION !
....but we have and WILL DEAL WITH THAT too !

LOL communism was around long before Marx!
Just look at the French Revolution!
Ha ! You think Marx-Communism is the same as Liberty, Equality and Frasternity !? Do You!??
NO WONDER YOU UTTER SUCH NONSENSE as you do!
The Trude
Of course communism is about equality... maybe you need to read more about the French Revolution which was one of my specialist subjects at school...
He he he....are you miopic?
Let me try this one Yarmukloid-COMMI concept on you and then tell me if it sounds like EQUALITY:
"FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY AND TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS RAG-ghism"! ?
What do you say? Is the above about EQUALITY OR NOT!??

My dear, haven't you figured out yet that the Trude stands alone.... and ABOVE any googl-ISM!??

in that case, if you can't reproduce exact quotes or anything close to the English language... then don't expect people to understand what you're trying to convey! _________________ He who is merciful with the cruel, will end-up being cruel to the merciful

Last week in these pages I wrote about HBO'S airing of the Miller/Shah film “Death in Gaza,” which they are showing for two weeks. Because I failed to persuade HBO to consider airing Pierre Rehov's extraordinary films about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I decided to post two films on my own website for the same time period.
The response has been incredible. In the last six days, fourteen thousand people from more than sixty countries on six continents have visited my website; most stayed to view Rehov's films. People from thirty European countries came to visit, including viewers from Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Estonia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Monaco, Russia and Ukraine. Viewers from China, South Korea, the Philippines, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates joined viewers from South Africa, Senegal and Egypt. In addition, viewers came from all over the United States and Canada and from five countries in South America.
Given such grassroots interest in Rehov's work, I need your help to convince HBO to show it. If you agree with me that the network should air Rehov's films please ask them to do so. His work is of high quality and the truth he presents is, in my view, deeper, more troubling, and more important for American viewers to see than that presented in “Death in Gaza” is.
In the Miller /Shah film, we mainly see Israeli tanks and bulldozers moving ominously towards children and weeping women; the soundtrack which accompanies the Israeli military equipment is that of a horror movie. The only "human" face shown is that of Palestinians: crying, suffering, burying their dead, visiting cemeteries. In the Miller/Shah film, there are no Israeli civilians or child counterpart interviewees. Although the Palestinians are indeed shown as world-class haters and brainwashers, I still fear that the film will encourage further demonization of Israel and sympathy for the murderous Palestinians.
Rehov's film “The Road to Jenin” shows us a very different Israeli army than “Death in Gaza” depicts. A far truer view of the Israeli Army may be gleaned not only from Rehov's film but also from Gil Mezuman's film “Jenin Diary: The Inside Story,” and from an important and moving book by Brett Goldberg: A Psalm in Jenin (2003, Modan Publishing House).
Given the world's diabolic double standards, Israeli soldiers stand accused of atrocities (they did not commit) while the ethnic Arab Muslim Janjaweed paramilitary troops in Sudan and the Arab and Palestinian terrorists remain uncondemned.
The truth is so different from the commonly held myths that what I am about to write will no doubt be met with considerable scorn by all those who believe what their politically correct professors and the Arab/Palestinian propagandists have carefully taught them to believe. But, speak I must.
The Israeli (and mainly reserve) army is exceptionally principled, sensitive, haunted by any accidental civilian deaths, grief-stricken by the deaths of their own comrades. Unlike the Palestinians, or al-Qaeda, they do not glorify death and they mourn each life lost in necessary battle. This must be said, not once, but over and over again to counter the monstrous propaganda against Israel.
For two years, terrorists attacked Israeli civilians non-stop. In March of 2002, they murdered one hundred Israeli civilians. In April of 2002, a suicide bomber exploded a bomb at the Park Hotel in Netanya, just as Jews were seated at their Passover seder tables. This was a final straw. Reservists voluntarily flew home to Israel from all over the world.
Most of the suicide bombers had come from Jenin. It was time to shut Jenin down.
Israeli soldiers went in on foot to Jenin, not only in order to prevent Palestinian civilian casualties but also because world opinion would not allow Israel to defend herself properly. The relentless sacrifice exacted by the world meant that 24 Israeli soldiers had to (needlessly) die in the siege in Jenin. The Israelis went from booby-trapped house to booby-trapped house and were easy prey for snipers, rockets, grenades, etc. For their efforts, Israel was falsely accused of committing a massacre in Jenin.
As we all now know, the “Jenin Massacre” was a falsehood. Twenty four armed Israeli soldiers and 56 armed Palestinian soldiers died. The Israelis were up against home-made napalm, rockets, suicide bombers, expert snipers, intricately and minutely booby-trapped roads, stores, fields, and buildings. Palestinian fighters were transported via ambulances, and snipers were shooting from mosque minarets. Israelis were ordered to never shoot at an ambulance or a mosque and no troops ever did. Israeli soldiers were wounded and killed while they tried to help Palestinian civilians. "Helping" civilians was a high-risk Israeli activity.
In addition, contrary to myth, Israeli soldiers not only gave out food and water--they gave up their own rations to civilians. They stocked up on candies for the children, diapers for infants. Israeli soldiers did not confiscate or destroy civilian property. In fact, they slept on floors so as not to soil beds. Israeli soldiers systematically rolled up oriental carpets to shield them from their muddy military boots. They left notes apologizing for any damage and thanking the absentee home-owner for their "hospitality." Sleepless, embattled, freezing, the Israelis refused to "borrow" blankets or coffee. (Only one caffeine-starved soldier did so and his commanding officer wrestled with whether or not to punish him). Israelis did not shell any hospitals. In fact, they treated every Palestinian civilian who was wounded professionally and ethically. Israelis fed and medically treated enemy combatants, including the men who moments earlier had been trying to kill them. In one instance, when an Israeli soldier accidentally wounded an old Arab man who was deaf and who could not hear his orders, the soldier literally fainted; the Arab man was medically evacuated.
Mezuman's documentary, filmed while the invasion of Jenin was still in progress, shows us exhausted, traumatized, frightened, heartsick reservists engaged in soul-searching and criticism of Israeli Army policy. Rehov's film confirms all this and more. Brett Goldberg's book explores the characters, biographies, and conduct-in-battle of the 24 Israelis who died in Jenin as well as those of some Israeli survivors of the battle of Jenin.
Unlike the Palestinians and Arabs who danced and cheered when they lynched, be-headed or blew up infidels, Israelis mourned and even wept when they had to destroy ancient orchards and homes because they sheltered terrorists. When one retarded Palestinian boy whom the Israelis had been feeding was about to be wired up with explosives, Israelis found a way to feed him from afar.
Israeli soldiers have been taught that they "ha(ve) no right to punish with violence. Only to defend." When one commanding officer received a Palestinian prisoner who had obviously been beaten, he freed him "as a lesson to the arresting soldiers."
If HBO and other American and European networks do not begin airing "both sides" of the Israeli-Palestinian issue so that people can really "make up their own minds," we are all the poorer for it. We are also more endangered when media feed us propaganda disguised as truth. I hereby formally join the august ranks of Christopher Hitchens and Paul Berman in their view that what was once a "liberal" media has so quickly become a "totalitarian" and "Islamo-Fascist-" friendly media--and all in the name of free speech, anti-censorship, and (Muslim-only ) civil rights.
HBO are you listening? Our lives may depend on it.
