The beginning of Jewish Zionist infiltration of the U.S. gov

[Anonymous]

During my research last year, I came across this article from the Truman Library on Edwin M. Wright, who appears to have been a decent American patriot.
 
Wright's oral history recorded in 1977 contains startling revelations on the beginning of Jewish Zionist infiltration into our government and its devastating results which pervades all of Washington up to this day.

Quotes from Wrights letter as an addendum to his interview.

As late as summer 1976, Candidate Jimmie Carter stated,

"I am pro-Israeli, not because of political expediency, but because I believe Israel is the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy."

So the Bible--and belief that it is God's Holy Word and infallible, became a useful tool in Zionist propaganda. I take the point of view that the Bible

[iii]

is a mixture of Hebrew legends and myths and cannot be used as an element in U.S. foreign policy.

U.S. citizens, quite ignorant of Biblical critical studies and equally ignorant of Zionist dogmas and claims, were easy victims to clever Zionist manipulation of their gullibility.

Zionists, since Truman's decision in 1947-48, have lived in a Fool's Paradise. They assumed their control of the US government, press and public was permanent and based an "moral" values--therefore, the US at all times would give Israel total support. Zionists seem to live in a dream world of their own creation and think the rest of the world should accept their dream. They seem quite incapable of facing reality. George Ball is making an effort to break through to some of the realities involved in our foolish adventure into theocratic politics. It will generate a bitter and possibly violent emotional reaction on the part of US Zionists who will accuse the USA generally of "anti-Semitism."

As Cyrus was declared "The Messiah of the Lord" in Isaiah 44 :28, so Truman was a "Messiah" to serve Eternal Divine Israel in 1948.

Esther got her Gentile King drunk, then wheedled his signet ring and sent out an order to the Jews--so they slew 75,000 innocent Persians (Esther 9:16). The Book of Esther is not history. It is parody. The Ahasuerus of Esther is probably the Seleucid King Antiochus IV Epiphanes (165 B.C.) and Mordechai is probably a symbol for Judas Maccabeus. Esther represents the beautiful dream of a Messianic Jewish State. There is a lesson nevertheless in this immoral and violent story. A political marriage of any political power with Messianic

Zionism is certain to produce disaster.

In his interview he goes into his being born and spending many years of his life in India.  Moving to the USA after the Indian government nationalized all schools (he was a teacher).  In the US he decided to get a doctorate in ancient history, relating to religion and culture in the Middle-East and then got dragged into the OSS due to his Middle-East "expertise".  In 1942 he went to Iran as part of Intelligence in taking over the railway system, then was moved to Cairo.  THen got involved in Palestine and the coming Arab-Jewish war by meeting with Zionists a learning about their ideology.

He has this to say about the Moshe Dyan school:

I felt that this was a school dedicated to inculcating and indoctrinating [Theodor] Herzl's ideas into the minds of the young Jews in Palestine.

About Herzl and the already existing shadow Jewish government:

What I found out was that Herzl had taught that all the Jews of the world should go to Israel. This was the idea that dominated the Yishuv (the Yishuv means the Jewish community of Palestine) and even Ben Gurion, who was at that time Secretary of the Jewish Agency.

The Jewish Agency was a shadow government. It already was a government of Israel; simply waiting for the veil to be pulled and it would

[10]

emerge. It had all the functions of government. I found their ideas were that all Jews should leave the Gentile world. This is in Herzl: "Gentiles hate Jews, they are going to destroy the Jewish world." It's a paranoic view of things. The only way Judaism can be saved is for the Jews to leave the Gentile world completely; to go to a Jewish state, as Herzl put it in his book. There they would rule themselves and be able to get away from the hatred of the Gentile world. The Gentiles are out to destroy Judaism. [See: Theodore Herzl, The Jewish State, N.Y., 1943.Diaries in II Volumes]

I did not believe this. I think it's a false concept of society, and especially false of American society. Nevertheless, this is the foundation of Zionist thinking.

Herzl himself made the statement that, when the Jewish state is set up, if a Jew does not go to live in it he is anti-Semitic because he chooses to live with Gentiles rather than live with Jews which are his real community.

I got all these ideas through talking with people who were Zionists. The third step in Zionism was that they must have large enough a state in order to keep the whole Jewish population there. At that time there were about fourteen million Jews, and now that meant owning a very large territory. It is not brought out in Zionist propaganda in America, but what they claim is all the territory from the Suez Canal clear north to the mountains of Cappadocia,

[12]

in southern Turkey. [Statement by Herzl. Also see Numbers 34; Genesis 15:18, Joshua 13, II Samuel 8:5-6.} It includes all of Lebanon, much of Syria, Jordan, and Sinai. This is the territory they call "Eretz Israel," the land of Israel, which is mentioned in the Bible.

His take on the Bible and Zionism:

I might mention my concept of the Bible is that it is largely mythology; Jewish legend; distorted history. [See: John Van Seter, Abraham in Legend and History, Yale, 1975. Frank M. Cross, Caananite Myth and Hebrew Epic, Harvard, 1973.] There are a lot of poems and other sorts of things like this. There are a number of moral teachings in it, but they are

[13]

the minimum part of it. Large parts of it are just ritualistic and have no meaning in the modern world at all, but if you want to understand Jewish legend, that's the book to go to.

When I talked to these people I saw that they took it literally. Furthermore, in one of my conversations with Mr. Ben Gurion he made the remark that, "the Bible is our charter." I began to realize that Zionism is a thinly veiled theocracy. The Bible was in their minds when they were talking, but they used modern nationalistic language in order to hide the fact that this was theocratic in nature. They realized that a theocratic society would not appeal to America.

I might mention here that I have found Zionism very deceitful. There is a double meaning in all the words Zionists use, and [Chaim] Weizmann himself said one time, "Let the British or anyone else talk about Zionism

[14]

and they can use our terminology, but we know what the meaning of it is. It has one meaning to us, one meaning to the Gentiles." They've always had this double-entendre in everything that they have done. Whenever they use words you have to try to find out what is the context in which they are using these words.

About Hertzl's second gaol for Zionism:

Furthermore, in the covenants which God gave to the Jewish people, he said, "You are to be a pure and holy people and not to be contaminated by contact with Gentiles. Therefore, you should cast out all the inhabitants that are there and make it a Jewish state." [See Deuteronomy 7:1=6. Joshua 6:17; 8:21; 10:33. I Samuel 15:18, etc.] I found the same thing in Herzl: You must remove the Arabs and Palestinians in order to have an exclusivistic Jewish people.

[15]

I found Herzl's writings were really all ideas taken from the Old Testament, but dressed up in modern language, and that Zionism meant the incorporation of the whole Jewish community in Palestine. A large territory that was to be exclusively theirs, and the Arabs would be expelled.

He then engaged professors in many teaching establishments to learn more about the Arabic history.

Such ideas as we had in the West had never penetrated the Middle East. They are just beginning to penetrate now; technology and the objective and secular point of view. These people are introspective, they live in a world of imagination and mythology which they interpret as reality. This is true of Golda Meir, Ben Gurion and all the rest of them. They live in

[17]

a world of half myth and half reality.

He was "brought back from the Middle East in November of 1945" and put in the "specialist corps" that covered Middle-East affairs that briefed military persons.

Wright talks about the brewing oil crisis and going to Saudi Arabia to secure oil:

The result was that in '43 the Department of Interior released very high-priority materials to go to Aramco in Saudi Arabia and technical personnel to develop those oil fields.

The Pacific fleet was partially operating on oil from Iran, but Iran was not able to rapidly develop its sources and Aramco was given the green light: "Build, get anything you need to,

[19]

and the United States Government will support you."

What I found out was that the average well in the Persian Gulf area produces from 500 to 1000 times as much as the average well in the United States, and costs only six to ten cents a barrel to produce.

These facts at that time were completely unknown, and they still are unknown to the average person in America. Americans are as ignorant of where their oil comes from as if it rained from heaven. So when there is an Arab oil embargo nobody knows who to blame for a shortage of oil. The confusion in America in 1973 over where our oil comes from is an indication of the stupidity and the ignorance

[22]

of the American people on the facts of life. I learned these facts of life back in this period, because I had to study it and report on it.

In the mid '40s he went to work int he State Department as special assistant to Loy Henderson.  Truman came into the presidency, and he mentions two lobbyist groups:

Domestic issues are not based on intelligence, but on self interest of a smaller group, and I think in this connection I think I should mention specifically two. One was what we called the China Lobby, a very odd and indiscriminate group of people who never were

[29]

really organized, but had a tremendous influence upon government. They eventually were captured by Senator [Joseph R.] McCarthy.

The other were the Zionists, who were more organized. They had been working for a long time to capture the U.S. Government; to use it for purposes of developing a Jewish state. In other words, we had two lobby groups in America who knew little about the area at all, who had certain ideological concepts of society and America. When the people from the fields reported what was unpopular to these groups, they were fired.

It's too well-known what happened to the people that McCarthy attacked. The best specialists we had on China were all fired or declared Communists. We purged them, and that led us into the debacle of supporting Chiang Kai-shek.

The same thing happened in the Middle East.

He talks about how the Zionists saw anyone who did not like Zionist ideals as threats, and took measures to oust them by attacking them, such as Wright himself.

Wright has this to say on the term Jew (very astute observation):

No one has ever been able to define what a Jew is; what is the adjective "Jewish?" I'm convinced there is no agreed definition; it cannot be defined. Israel has in 26 years tried to define the term "Jew," and it's run across endless contradictions. Every time that a court in Israel defines the term Jew, half of the Jews protest against it and say, "That's not what we mean by Judaism." In other words, Judaism or Jew means so much to so many people that there is no possible definition of it. The Zionists have a specific meaning of Judaism that is racist; it has to do with a theory of birth.

[32]

You are born a Jew, you have to have a Jewish mother, and every Jew has a DNA particle that is identified as Jewish. This is a sort of a chain to connections back to Abraham. This is pure mythology, [See John Van Seder, op. cit.] and yet this is the idea on which the State of Israel is being built.

Wright has this to say about Truman and his perception of Zionism and a "Jewish" state:

Whatever contribution I had to make on President Truman's attitude had to do with his decision on this question of Zionism. Up until 1946 no head of State had ever used the phrase "Jewish state." The British had used the phrase "Jewish national home." The result was that the

[31]

concept of a Jewish state had not been accepted by any outside power. It was the drive of the Zionists to get the United States to recognize such a thing as a Jewish state, but nobody in America knew what a Jewish state was. I'm convinced that Mr. Truman never knew what it involved, yet he used the phrase "Jewish state."

Furthermore, Mr. Truman knew nothing about their concept of Zionism. In his book he refers to the fact that the extreme Zionists, as he said, threatened him. Those are not the extreme Zionists at all, these were the regular Zionists. He didn't know the difference between a leftist and a rightist Zionist. All he knew was that the Zionists put tremendous pressure upon him in order to accept the concept of a Jewish state in Palestine.

Talks about Zionist ability to destroy careers by false labels of anti-Semitism:

In Mr. Truman's book you will find that he describes the pressures that were brought to bear upon him at this particular time. He said it was like nothing that he ever saw again in the Presidency. He makes the strange remark, "I could not trust my advisers in the State Department because they were anti-Semitic."

It's perfectly obvious he was smearing Mr. Henderson, who was the adviser and the director at that time of the Near Eastern areas. The Zionists went to various people like Drew Pearson and Walter Winchell and said, "Smear this fellow. Destroy his character and get him out of Government."

The result was Mr. Henderson became the target of Zionist attacks. All kinds of false stories were told about him in these columns

[34]

by Walter Winchell and others. I was at that time Mr. Henderson's assistant and I answered many of the letters, because he didn't have time to do it himself. I was his sort of alter ego in handling much of this correspondence, and I saw the kind of letters that he got. They were vituperative. Walter Winchell accused him of crucifying the Jews the way that the Jews had been crucified earlier, and so forth, and so on.[See: George Ball "How to Save Isreal From Herself," Foreign Affairs, April, 1977 pp.454. He points out how Zionists attack anyone who criticises Isreal "ad hominen"--by character assasination, calling them "anti-semitic."]

Zionist groups:

Recognizing that the State Department was skeptical of the "peaceful" outcome of establishing an exclusivist Zionist state on Arab territory, the Zionists and the Jewish Agency (later the Government of Israel) established outlets for propaganda and pressure on the U.S. public. The American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was placed in Washington to influence Congress, public officials and the press. It was well funded and published in the Near East Report and was recognized as "the Israeli Lobby." A psuedo--"American Christian Committee for Palestine" was funded by the Israeli Government and U.S. Zionists. It published a news sheet, organized tours to Israel and worked especially on clergy and churches. For the press, the Jewish Telegraph Agency pretended to be a U.S. installation. The Fulbright investigation of 1962 exposed the latter two--the American,Christian Committee and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Israeli Government organizations. As a result of the exposure the American Christian Committee lost all its utility and disbanded. The press card of Milton Friedman of the JTA to the Department of State was cancelled. These many Israeli Government propaganda organizations did all they could to discredit those men in the State Department, whom they identified as "pro-Arab." For further details: Alan R. Taylor Prelude to Israel (Philosophical Library, 1959), especially the Chapter VIII, "The Zionist Search for American Support," pp. 77-113.]

The Zionist threat to Truman:

Emmanuel Cellar was the head of this committee. Rabbi Steven Wise and several others were in it. They called upon Mr. Truman and said, "We have just been talking with Mr. [Tom] Thomas Dewey. He is willing to come out and declare for a Jewish state, and we are going to turn our money and urge the Jews to vote for him unless you beat him to it." Then Emmanuel Cellar pounded upon Mr. Truman's desk and said, "And if you don't come out for a Jewish state we'll run you out of town."

Repercutions of Truman's cowardice:

Foreign policy cannot be operated intelligently if it's to be the football of domestic lobbies, and this was Mr. Truman's great mistake. In this issue he gave way to a domestic lobby. What did Emmanuel Cellar know about the Middle East? The answer is nothing. What did these other men, David Niles or Eddie Jacobson know about the Middle East? Zero. The result was he listened to a group of propagandists who gave him the wrong ideas and he came across with this fatal decision that we would support a Jewish state in the area.

From that time on, the fat was in the fire. A chief of State had come out supporting the idea of a Jewish state. Now the Zionists were

[39]

simply able to take over and operate without reference to America anymore. They began smuggling out arms and money. Mr. Ben Gurion had been in the U.S.A. at the Biltmore Convention in May 1942 and had gotten organizations to support the development of a war in the Middle East.

About the government overall:

In fact, I'm convinced that the American Government is largely corrupt because of the way that our campaigns are run. This has been brought out, of course, very clearly in the last few months in connection with Watergate, but it's not new. The business of buying Government opinion and Government judgment is very old in America and it's one of the things that is going to destroy democracy unless it is somehow or another corrected.

The new power Zionists had controlling the State Department:

What Mr. Truman then did was to turn over the Middle Eastern policymaking and the fate of State Department personnel to the Zionists; who were not in Government at all. He turned it away from his trained diplomats and over to irresponsible and fanatic people who simply purged the State Department. [F.R.U.S., 1948, Vol. V, The Near East. President Truman referred to "the fanaticism of our New York Jews," p. 593. There are dozens of references to domestic pressures, pp. 640, 656, 609, etc.]

How they came after Wright:

His name was Milton Friedman. He was at that time under a camouflage; he operated in the Jewish Telegraph Agency. They sicked him onto me and he wrote a whole series of articles about how I was getting paid for my point of view, that I was a dangerous character, and that the Government ought to investigate me for anti-Semitism. They did investigate me.

You had to be pro-Zionist or keep quiet in order to stay in the State Department, and the net result was a whole generation of officers who are simply "Uncle Toms." They don't dare to speak or publish things. They are afraid that they will be sent off to Africa, or who knows to some other part of the world, and will stay there the rest of their lives.

All they had to do was go to the President or to Congress, and the demand would come for this fellow to be sent off and put in some obscure area, where he no longer would influence the situation. This has been going on for 26 years in the Department of State as the result of Mr. Truman's first decision to purge Loy Henderson.

It destroyed the efficacy of the Department of State in that particular area. The Zionists consider that they have control of the Department of State, can dictate who is going to be in it and who is going to say what policy should be. It's sort of silent terrorism that they have applied and kept up ever since.

These men just said whatever they were told to say because it satisfies their personal finances and also satisfies the votes in their area. This has corrupted American policy completely towards the Middle East and it has led to four wars.

About Zionist plans:

The Zionist attitude is, "Keep on expanding,

[52]

get more and more territory." I could quote endless numbers of passages here from Moshe Dayan and Yigal Allon. Moshe Dayan actually two years ago made the remark: "This next generation of Israelies must occupy everything up to central Syria. " [His statement: The first generation of Israelis founded the State. The second generation expanded it in 1967.]

This idea that they must occupy all that area, drive the Arabs out, Dayan first learned in the Gymnasia Herzliya where he went to school. It's Herzl's ideas, Weizmann's ideas, Ben Gurion's ideas. They kept repeating, "Drive the Arabs out, get more territory," and the United States pays for it. We have kept paying Israel more and more money each year. The more expansive it's become, the more it mistreats the Arabs. The result has been an alienation of America from the Arab world.

This was predicted by Mr. Henderson. He said, "If we support a Jewish state, a Zionist state, a racist state in a territory that's

[53]

dominantly Arab, it will alienate us from the Arab world. It will make possible the development of Russian interests, who will support the Arabs against us. Eventually we will need Arab oil and it may be refused."

For some reason he believed Henry Kissinger to be a good person who was trying to end the Zionist influence.  I have to disagree with him there.

This is the sad history of the mistake that was made by Mr. Truman to open the door to Zionist control of the U.S. Government in the Middle East. It has continued until recently, but Mr. [Henry] Kissinger is making an effort to reverse the trend.

How wrong Wright was in seeing things this way:

They've hunted for 26 years and I think they're going to be terribly shocked when they find out they no longer have that control. The situation that existed in 1947 is not going to be repeated in 1974.

In '47 America was naive, the Zionists had an organization and were able to use the treatment of Jews in Germany as a great emotional appeal. They persuaded the public that there were no people in Palestine. It was empty country and they were just coming home; all this type of specious argument simply went over because the Americans didn't know the situation. It no longer exists. It's not enough that the Jews were being persecuted in Europe, but it's the Arabs who are now being persecuted in Israel and

[58]

the neighboring territories. The whole picture is being changed, therefore. America now knows it cannot operate without Middle Eastern oil, at least for the next 10 years. We simply would have a collapse in America unless we get Middle Eastern oil. [Dankwart A. Rustow, "U.S.-Saudi Relations and the Oil Crisis of the 1980s," Foreign Affairs, April, 1977.]

The Zionists make statements and use the false statement that such and such amount of Jews are in accordance with this perception to pressure politicians:

Any Zionist can sit down and say, "We Jews believe," but he never consults with anyone; simply sends it in.

Immediately I got a letter from the Personnel Department. "What did you say these things for? Why aren't you more discrete about it?" This is a type of pressure under which you live. Every public statement you make, however much you quote the original source, is distorted as

[65]

though these ideas are your own. Then you're attacked for them.

It's just like a shotgun blast; they cover every area where they

[66]

can bring pressure to muzzle you and to keep you from expressing your ideas.

This is the type of problems you deal with; irresponsible journalists like Milton Friedman can write anything they want. Immediately a thousand letters come into the Department.

I could multiply this a hundred fold. I have a file here of just case after case of things like this. Each one takes a long explanation of what you said, how the Zionist organization got its wolves out after you, and then how the State Department either sacrifices you like Truman did Mr. Loy Henderson, or muzzle you like they did me.

About the Zionist committees ease in consolidating an attack:

It's the type of issue that very few people understand. The Zionists are organized in 17 (now 31) different committees and groups in America. They are all inter-related by what's called the Association of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. These are the presidents of the 31 Zionist organizations. All they have to do is to send in a letter to any one of them and these 31 will reproduce it in mimeograph and send it out to all their organizations. As a result of one letter you'll get hundreds of replies coming in attacking me.

Wright talks again about the Iran occupation with a treaty between Iran, Britain and the USSR.  Both foreign parties were to leave 90 days after the end of the war (WWII), but Russia ended up staying there with no intention on leaving and were expanding:
"The Russian troops, instead of staying within Azerbaijan, are fanning out and going to other parts of Iran."

Mr. Byrnes said, "What do you think their intentions are?"

I said, "There can be no doubt. They want to get control of those oil areas as quickly as possible; to deny them to the Western World.

[87]

They went to capture the capital of Iran and control this as a satellite state."

Wright gives his own idea on what and how Communism comes about, from [89] - [92] along with poverty and fatalism in the Middle-east with this statement that is notably accurate about the relation between religious thought and fatalism:

The people of the Middle East are terribly fatalistic: they call this takdir, "this is what God wills," Inshallah "God does it." This theory that God does everything for you is pure fatalism and it's caused by a hopeless feeling of poverty that you cannot overcome. So much of what we call faith is really just a hopeless fatalism. There's no use struggling; let's just simply get along and survive as best we can. That was the mood in the Middle East.

He goes on to talk about how Arabs were anti-Communist.  Egypt was falsely labeled Communist by Zionists and they wanted to work with the Americans.  What does the USA do?  "Mr. Nixon's answer was, "I'll send 48 more new phantom jets to Israel.""  And so the war began in 1973.  Wright says this about USA, Zionist and Egypt relations:

We did play a small role in getting things started in the Middle East, but we soon dropped any help to the Arabs. This was because of the Zionist influence. The illustration is the Aswan Dam. Mr. Dulles offered this to Egypt and then he got a flood of letters from two

[95]

groups of people: the Zionists and the Southern cotton farmers. "No help to Egypt." The Zionists wanted no help to Egypt because they wanted to monopolize all help to Israel. The cotton farmers didn't want help to Egypt because they've got a better cotton there than we have in the South; therefore, keep Egypt poor. This served the purpose of the cotton farmers, the Zionists, so that we withdrew from that plan. Revolution didn't come to Egypt in spite of all of its poverty, and today they're so anxious to work with the Americans that it's pathetic.

Wright talks about economic plans that were tried in the Middle-East [96]-[100] and development projects. [100]-[102] But nothing happened since Israel always had other plans.  One plan/scheme was to tap the Yarmuk (in Jordan) and make a great plating area for vegetables, but that didn't work:

Israel took the attitude, "We've got to make it a scorched earth. Anywhere that there is a guerrilla, we're going to destroy the civilian population so it cannot support the guerrillas.

This is their attitude towards Lebanon and Syria. "If one guerrilla gets in there, we'll destroy the whole village and then they cannot support the guerrillas."

So, the Israelies shelled the area, destroyed the canal and everything else that we had financed. Today it's again desert. We put, I suppose, 30 or 40 million dollars in that scheme, but this reaction between guerrillas, using it as a hideout area and Israelies using it as a scorched earth area has completely destroyed that scheme.

More on Zionist control of politicians:

You'll find that almost every effort we made to work with the Arabs was opposed by the same Congressman who votes for everything for Israel. This is more than coincidence. They block what the Zionists tell them to block and vote for what the Zionists tell them to vote for. [George Ball, Foreign Affairs, op. cit., p.471 gives two illustrations of Israeli control over 71 and later 76 Senators. These Senators act as though Israel was "The Master's Voice" to be obeyed.]

Some divide and conquer tactics:

A developed Arab society is a dangerous Arab society. Let the Arabs be strong and then they're going to put pressure upon Israel and Israel knows it. Israel has no resources of any importance whatsoever, either minerals, oil or water. It cannot even feed its own population. They must keep the Arabs divided and weak. "Keep the Arabs divided up and fighting one another, and Israel will survive. Let them get together and you've got trouble. [One of the main purposes of Kissinger's "Shuttle Diplomacy" in 1974-75 was to split Egypt away from Syria. It worked and caused much ill will between Syria and Egypt.]

Deception used by Zionists to gain favor for the creation of their Zionist state and Truman doesn't do anything to punish this criminal behavior:

In other words, the State Department didn't even know who was making the decisions. Mr. Truman himself has the most remarkable of all statements in there, a memo that's quoted, in which he says, "Something's going on and I don't know what it is. Somebody called up

[112]

the President of Haiti and he said that it was I. [F.R.U.S., 1947 , Vol. V, p. 1309.] He said, 'We want you to vote for the Zionist program.' As a result the President of Haiti changed his vote to satisfy what he thought was me. I don't know who this fellow was that called him up."

There were a number of Jewish Zionists at the U.N., like Robert Nathan, Bernard Baruch, and various other people, who were calling up the chiefs of other states and saying, "Unless you vote for this partition program, the United States will not build a road in your country; will not help you in aid or will not do something else." They were pretending they had the authority of the President of the United States to determine policy, when they were just one individual operating on their own. They had no authority, no official position, but they were using the importance of the United States as a threat against these countries.

About making Israel into an official state, Wright has this to say:

At this time, George Marshall was Secretary of State and he was up at the U.N. a good deal of the time. When the British had finally announced they were going to pull out by May the 15th (which was May 14th our time, because of the difference in time), the question arose about recognition of the state.

The State Department wrote a memo which drew upon traditions of how to recognize a country. It's very rare that a country of which no boundaries are known is recognized. There are also other questions: When you recognize a state do you recognize its claims to people outside the state? The Zionists have always claimed that the Jewish nation is wherever a Jew is, anywhere in the world. Every Jew,

[119]

therefore, is part of this Jewish nation. Golda Meir repeated this when they asked her what the boundaries of Israel are. She said, "Wherever there's a Jew, there is Israel. It's not a line on a map."

They (President and Zionists) had decided on the day before to recognize Israel and not let the State Department know it.

The Jewish Agency knew what was going on, but the State Department and the U. N. didn't until after the announcement came out. The reason was that Mr. Truman wanted sole credit for the recognition of Israel. He did not want it to go to anyone else, because he was anxious for the Jewish vote and Jewish money.

[118]-[125] for the whole debacle.

Arabs question American representatives about their policy:

Here we get a firsthand report of the reaction between an American official and the Arabs and he says, "Constantly they kept asking me, 'Why does the United States behave this way?' I couldn't explain it to them."

Nobody can explain it, because you've got to know how they buy congressional and senatorial votes through speeches; how they control the five electoral states, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, etc. You have to understand the weighting of the Jewish vote in America and the contribution to the party systems. By the time we explained that to Arabs they'd say, "But aren't you corrupt?"

[132]

The answer is, "Yes, we're corrupt."

Try to explain to Arabs why it is that we have this strange phenomenon in American life. We ignore our basic interests in the area and support something for which we get no returns whatsoever. What do we get out of supporting Israel? Nothing but problems, bills, debts, and embarrassment. Natural friends from the point of view of strategy, anti-communism, and oil, are all allied to the Arab world. They keep saying, "Why don't you understand this?" And you have to say, "You don't understand the American system."

This is what Eisenhower had to say about bringing the concentration/work camp Jews to America:

"You know, I walked through all those camps in Germany. I looked upon those bodies and those people heaped up there and skeletons. I do not believe that these people who went through that experience could ever

become human beings again." In other words, they'd been so nervously upset they would be neurotic. He said, "I'm not in favor of bringing them to the United States because this whole generation of Jews from Europe will have to undergo a long process of getting away from the fears of what's happened there."

While Wright saw it this way, saying to Eisenhower:

"You know, if we move these 100 thousand we will create this kind of problem in the Middle East. Instead we should bring them here; it is our culture that created this problem. It was the Europeans who destroyed the Jewish community; hated them and punished them. It's up to us to try to rectify ourselves."

"Let's bring them to America. Here's where they'll find a home and a much more normal life. While there's some anti-Jewishness in America it's very light, it's nothing important. Jews have risen to high positions in America, and if there's anywhere in the world that they have a chance, it's here. If they go to a Jewish state, this concept of paranoia, 'the world hates us, we've got to establish a state, completely independent and exclusively ours,' it will transfer the problem from Europe to the Middle East."

And later adding how the Jews made the Arabs into enemies because of their Masada persecution paranoia:

We would have paid the price of European cruelty. As it was we shipped these people off to Israel where they've developed what was called the Masada complex, "The world's against us. We've got to destroy the Arabs, expand our kingdom and defend ourselves even to the last Jew." Golda Meir has it and all the rest of them have it. The concept of persecution was moved from

[138]

Europe down to the Middle East where they saw the Arabs as their enemies. It was really the Arabs who have always helped the Jews throughout history, they never persecuted the Jews the way the Christians have done. What the U.S. did was to save ourselves by shifting this problem over to the Middle East. We did not solve the problem at all.

From [138]-[141] he talks about how Jews didn't want to go to Israel.  But Zionists could not and cannot let this happen, as creating anti-Semitism is something they have long wanted and yearn to keep.

Very accurate words in regards to national interest and the future as he saw it:

So, when it comes to national interests, you get into a terrible hassle. What are national interests, and are they moral or not? I think they're immoral myself, because they are selfish. They look at only a small part of the world's population and ignore the rest. I'm not sure but what we axe heading into one of the worst periods in human history. We will be the richest people and will have exploited the wealth of most other people. It's going to create a hatred of America as time goes on. I look forward to when oil ends in the Middle East, what will be left? The answer is not very much. During this period we are simply exploiting the world's

[144]

resources for a higher standard of living; while the world is going to face, within the next 10 or 15 years, starvation. What's going to happen?

I always felt that there's an end to this somewhere. National interest cannot be interpreted in terms of material goods alone. Unfortunately, this is the American story.

[146]

If we want land, we'll just take it from the Indians. They don't use it well, so send them off to reservations. Then if we find oil or coal on them, take the reservations. Our whole attitude is that the Indian is an un-people; they don't belong in the world. Yet, at the same time, we're somewhat troubled in spirit when we read about Wounded Knee. Why do we treat the Indians that way? The devil is within us, he's not somebody outside with horns. He is us.

But national interests are awfully dangerous if they're thought of purely in narrow terms. This is one of the tragedies of Israel; it sees its national interest as only having to do with Jews, and ignores completely the problem of the Arab. Now they've got to face the problem.

[150]

They are living in the midst of an Arab world, and it's going to be one of the great shocks. They've got to change from their picture of themselves as a separate chosen people to being a people living in a society they consider enemies. There's no solution for Israel other than to integrate itself into the Arab world. [It was folly to establish a theoretic, ethnically exclusive, ambitious Zionist Jewish state in the heart of the Arab world. To impose its will upon the Arabs, Israel has to resort to the sword. All the assumptions of Herzl's Zionism turned out to be false. Most Jews do not want to live in a theoretic Jewish state. Israeli Jews have proven incapable of granting non-Jews equality. Israel survives only because of large transfers of arms and money from the U.S.A.--a very un-healthy situation for all involved. March 29, 1977 Edwin M. Wright]
