    UNITED AGAINST SPITTING
    BY GILAD ATZMON

    The People's Voice
    Nov 30 2009

    Three days ago the Israeli Right wing paper The Jerusalem Post
    published an expos of the growing tendency of Orthodox Jews in
    Jerusalem to spit on their Christian neighbours. ('Mouths Filled with
    Hatred', By Larry Derfner The JPost, Nov. 26, 2009).

    Father Samuel Aghoyan, a senior Armenian Orthodox cleric in Jerusalem's
    Old City, told the JPost "that he's been spat at by young Haredi
    (God fearing religious Jews) and national Orthodox Jews 'about 15 to
    20 times' in the past decade". Father Aghoyan added, "Every single
    priest in this church has been spat on. It happens day and night."

    Similarly Father Athanasius, a Texas-born Franciscan monk who heads
    the Christian Information Centre in Jerusalem's Old City, said he's
    been spat at by Orthodox Jews "about 15 times in the last six months".

    Jewish spitting is not exactly breaking News. I myself have explored
    the issue more than once. The Israeli professor Israel Shahak commented
    on Jewish hatred towards Christianity and its symbolism, suggesting
    that "dishonouring Christian religious symbols is an old religious
    duty in Judaism." According to Shahak, "spitting on the cross, and
    especially on the Crucifix, and spitting when a Jew passes a church,
    have been obligatory from around AD 200 for pious Jews."

    Interestingly enough Jewish spitting has had an impact on the European
    urban landscape. The following can be read in a 'Travel Guide for
    Jewish Europe'.

    "In Prague's Charles Bridge, the visitor will observe a great crucifix
    surrounded by huge gilded Hebrew letters that spell the traditional
    Hebrew sanctification Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh Adonai Tzvaot, "Holy,
    Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts." According to various commentators,
    this piece, degrading to Jews, came about because in 1609 a Jew was
    accused of desecrating the crucifix. The Jewish community was forced
    to pay for putting up the Hebrew words in gold letters. Another
    explanation is that a Jew spat at the cross and for this he was to
    be put to death as a punishment. When this man begged for his life,
    the king, seeking to have good relations with the Jews, said the
    Jewish community had to rectify the offence...." (To read more:
    Travel Guide for Jewish Europe, pg 497)

    Shahak maintains that "in the past, when the danger of anti-Semitic
    hostility was a real one, the pious Jews were commanded by their rabbis
    either to spit so that the reason for doing so would be unknown, or
    to spit onto their chests, not actually on a cross or openly before
    a church."

    But times are changing. In the Jewish state most Jewish inhibitions
    seem to have disappeared. In Israel Jews can spit as much as they like
    and on whatever they like. As we read above, in the Jewish state it
    isn't just Christian symbols that are being spat on, it is actually
    the Goyim in general. Far more concerning, it isn't even just kosher
    saliva. It is actually everything they may find at their disposal:
    saliva, live ammunition, bombs, missiles, WMD, white phosphorous,
    you name it, they spit it.

    In fact, spitting is not the problem. Spiting is just a symptom
    of a deeply imbued cultural categorical dismissal of 'otherness'
    that distinguishes Israel as a criminal state. It is also this very
    dismissal of 'otherness' that stops the Israelis and their supporters
    around the world from understanding the level of resentment that is
    mounting against any form of Jewish nationalism.

    Hatred is a form of blindness. Jewish hatred, that is culturally,
    religiously and spiritually orientated, is also a form of deafness.

    This may explain the tragic consequences in which nationalist Jews
    fail time after time to internalise the criticism leveled against
    them: against their politics and culture. This may explain why Jews
    fail to grasp what is the root cause of 'anti semitism'. Rather than
    being reflective and engaging in self-mirroring, the nationalistic
    Jew would insist that the problem is always somewhere else.

    As interesting as it may be, Zionism was the only modern serious
    Jewish collective attempt to amend the cultural abnormalities within
    Jewish culture. Early Zionism took anti Jewish criticism seriously. It
    committed itself to bring about a civilized ethical person. Zionism
    obviously failed completely. Yet, till the 1980's some fading voices
    of "humanist Zionism", people who wanted to see the Jews setting
    themselves into a peaceful nation living amongst others, could still
    be heard in occupied Palestine. It may also explain why the most
    radical and effective voices against Zionism and Jewish nationalism,
    are in fact people who were a product of Zionist upbringing (Shahak,
    I. Shamir, Sand, Burg and a few others).

    In the late 1970's a young dissident movement led by an Israeli
    Refusenik Gadi Elgazi protested against serving in the occupied
    territories. "Occupation Corrupts" Elgazi said. He was sent to prison
    repeatedly. Elgazi and his supporters maintained that controlling
    other people would have a devastating impact on the Jewish state and
    its morality. They were obviously correct. Through the years Israel
    has become a criminal collective, complicit in genocide. With 94%
    of its population supporting the IDF measures in Gaza, there is no
    room for doubt, Israel has no room amongst nations. As if this is not
    enough, the level of crime within Israel is also soaring. The rate of
    homicidal crime is rapidly growing and it seems as if no one there
    knows how to tackle the problem. Elgazi's predictions proved to be
    a prophecy. The occupation turned against the occupier.

    Interestingly enough, it didn't take long before Jewish cultural hatred
    towards Goyim and their symbols would turn inward and mature into an
    internal Jewish war where Jews do spit on each other. The tension
    within Israel's Jewish communities is rising by the day whether it
    is the rapid rise of poverty or the rising social division between
    Israeli Jewish communities. Seemingly, there is a growing unresolved
    tension between the secular and orthodox Jews in Israel. As much
    as Jews can hate the Goyim, nothing is comparable with the way and
    manner in which they despise each other.

    Channel 4, the brave British broadcaster that just 10 days ago exposed
    the cross-party Jewish lobby operating in the UK, did it again. The
    Battle for Israel's Soul is an expos of the feud between Jewish
    communities in Israel(1). Just like in the case of the occupation
    that turned eventually against the Israelis, hatred towards Goyim
    made the Israelis into a vengeful collective. Naturally it didn't
    take long before the Israelis would start to spit on each other.

    My message to the Palestinians is actually very simple. Give the
    Israelis time. They do not need enemies. With the level of self
    contempt they carry in themselves it is just a question of time before
    they totally implode.
