New Palestine Party
Visit of Menachen Begin and Aims of Political Movement Discussed
To the Editor or The New York Times : Amongst the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachen Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit it is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represents. Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial contributions, public manifestations in Begin's behalf, and the creation in Palestine of the impression that a large segment of America supports Fascist elements in Israel, the American public must be informed as to the record and objectives of Mr. Begin and his movement. The public avowals of Begin's party are no guide whatever to its actual character.
Today they speak of freedom, democracy and anti-imperialism, whereas until recently they openly
preached the doctrine of the Fascist state. It is in its actions that the terrorist party betrays its real character; from its past actions we can judge what it may be expected to do in the future.
Attack on Arab Village
A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (The New York Times), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants—240 men, women and children— and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of apology to King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre', publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Dein Yassin. The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority.
Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model. During the last years of sporadic anti-British violence, the IZL and Stern groups inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods, beatings, windowsmashing, and wide-spread robberies, the terrorists intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute. The people of the Freedom Party have had no part in the constructive achievements in Palestine. They have reclaimed no land, built no settlements, and only detracted from the Jewish defense activity. Their much-publicized immigration endeavors were minute, and devoted mainly to bringing in Fascist compatriots.
Discrepancies Seen
The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and his party, and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a "Leader State" is the goal. In the light of the foregoing considerations, it is imperative that the truth about Mr. Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American Zionism has refused to campaign against Begin's efforts, or even to expose to its own constituents the dangers to Israel from supporting Begin. The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.

"descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include much of the Middle East"
I'm no religion expert, but isn't there something in the mythology about Arab people supposedly being descended from Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar?
I read it here somewhere first: Evangelicals look at Israel like pedophiles look at children.
Could God create a person so offensive even He could not forgive them?
Apparently, yes.

"You may call me an asshole which I will deny. But to this do I assent, that I am an Abrahamic Asshole."
OT King here! Seriously, the death penalty is a bright line for me.
https://alabamareflector.com/2026/02/23/alabama-provides-the-greatest-arguments-against-the-death-penalty/
It's about the eternal nature of the afterlife: The sooner we get you there, the longer you'll be there!
Capitol punishment is nothing but barbaric, cold blooded murder.
THE NAPKIN FIX
If you are the Governor of a State that enforces the Death Penalty then you, personally, as Governor, must kill that person.
Modern Christians slay me with the admonition against homosexuality stated in Leviticus
First of all it only addresses male homosexuality Were those old guys cool with lesbians?
Like in most modern male centric porn is girl on girl action OK?
interestingly enough, Leviticus, in it's entirety, outlines some fairly accurate health advisories,
Such as masking and isolation in times of epidemic disease, I recall.
But that's not as fun as hating the gheys and also making sure women stay in line.
Clearly if Russia wanted to reestablish their old interests and relationships in the Middle East, having Trump appoint Huckabee is exactly what they would need to do.
“My invisible friend says he likes you best.”
My favorite book from the Old Testament is "Ecclesiastes"
In it the author tries to explain the futility of human life
"In wisdom there is great sorrow and all is a vanity and a chasing after the wind"
If you haven't already, I rate it as 'worth a read"
God spoke to Moses from the burning bush
"Tell me Moses, did the bush speak to you before or after you smelled the smoke?"
-Bob Newhart
Moses went into the desert with a six-pack of beer bottles and some peyote.
He did the peyote and dropped his beer bottle on a rock. The bottle shattered. The sun was caught by piece of the glass which focused the beam on a nearby dry bush. The bush burst into flames, which freaked out ol Moses, because the peyote was kicking in, and he had a “vision.”
But the whole episode was just a bad trip.

Truth stands the test of time.
But remember, Begin eventually came to peace talks, signing the Camp David Accords. Better than his wannabe successor Benjamin Netanyahu will do, most likely.
This is even more powerful today than it was when it originally appearing in print.
Have we learned NOTHING in 78 years?
Israel only wants piece. A piece of Iraq. A piece of Jordan. A piece of Egypt…
"descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include much of the Middle East"
I'm no religion expert, but isn't there something in the mythology about Arab people supposedly being descended from Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar?
Yes, but child born outside of marriage, literally conceived as a spare heir, but disinheritable at will.
It's even more f'd up when you think it all through.
Like Abraham being willing to kill Isaac isn't already fucked up enough.
