Many have wondered why the Bush/Cheney administration decided to launch a war against Iraq, which has now dragged on for over 4 years at a cost of thousands of lives and billions of dollars with the full support of the "opposition" in Congress, despite the fact that Iraq posed no threat to Americans and did not possess the much-touted "weapons of mass destruction".

Jewish economist and former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, whose "easy money" policies helped set the stage for the unfolding global financial crisis, has recently written : "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."

While true, that is only part of the story. It is even more "politically inconvenient to acknowledge" another primary factor, which a Zionist writer boasted about only a few days after the war started back in March 2003:

"This war is for us - i.e., the Jews and Israel. Chazal - our sages - throughout the ages have explained the Torah, telling us that everything that happens in the world is for the benefit of the Jewish People. Simply put another way, if all the world is a stage, then the Jews - and especially those in the Land of Israel - are the lead actors on the stage of history, and the goyim - the nations, i.e. the gentiles - have supporting roles, while the evil-doers are props and background scenery. As our tradition states, God - the great playwright - created the world for the sake of the Jewish People..." -- Israel National News, 2003-03

A defining episode in this tragic farce is the slaughter of the Amalekites, celebrated for centuries and reflected in current Zionist policy. As the war drags on, their spokesmen have used that analogy to justify "our" continued participation. But what benefits have the goyim ever derived from their "supporting role" in this play?

"The fact is that certain Jews, some of whom wield political influence, consider Jews to be superior to non-Jews and view the world as having been created only or primarily for Jews... The fundamentalists also justify their own belief in Jewish superiority and their feeling of contempt for non-Jews; they seek to reproduce the mythical golden age in which their views would dominate."

-- Israel Shahak, "Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel", 1999

According to the revered sages throughout the Talmud, the goyim are not considered "brothers", "neighbors", or even "fellow men" -- they are simply unclean animals, to be exploited and sacrificed: "For it is written: 'And ye my flock, the flock of my pastures, are men' -- only ye are designated 'Men'." (Baba Mezi'a 114b) For instance:

"[Rabbi] Shila administered lashes to a [Jewish] man who had intercourse with an Egyptian woman... An official was sent to summon him. When he came he was asked: 'Why did you flog that man?' He replied: 'Because he had intercourse with a she-ass'..." (equating the non-Jewish woman to a beast)

"Blessed is the All-Merciful Who has made the earthly royalty on the model of the heavenly, and has invested you [the Jews] with dominion, and made you lovers of justice..."

"'And the victory': this refers to the fall of Rome, as it says: 'And their life-blood is dashed against my garments.' ... 'Thine is the kingdom, O Lord': this refers to the war against Amalek." (Berakoth 58a)

Why should the beasts of modern day Rome (i.e., Europe and America) continue to sacrifice themselves in a war (cultural, economic and military) which is intended to result in their own downfall and global domination by this self-proclaimed "earthly royalty"?

UPDATE: The Rabbinic sages have advised Jews not to associate with the unclean Christian Zionist rabble during the Jewish Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) holiday in Israel, "baffling and upsetting the evangelical groups that traditionally have been big supporters of the Jewish state".
