RIP, Father Daniel Berrigan

[yankeedoodle]

During the the Vietnam War, the Jesuit priest brothers, Daniel and Philip Berrigan, were in the news regularly because of their bravery in in the anti-war effort: burglary, protesting, going to jail,. they did it all, and the media told us all about it.

Funny, isn't it, that Daniel Berrigan's outspoken opposition to the zionist entity - way back in 1973 - got so little mention.

It was a tragedy, Berrigan said, that

in place of Jewish prophetic vision, Israel should launch an Orwellian nightmare of double talk, racism, fifth-rate sociological jargon, aimed at proving its racial superiority to the people it has crushed. ...

Israel has not abolished poverty and misery; rather she manufactures human waste, the byproducts of her entrepreneurs. the military-industrial complex. Israel has not freed the captives, she has expanded the prison system, perfected her espionage, exported on the world market that expensive blood-ridden commodity, the savage triumph of the technologized West, violence and the tools of violence.

Her absurd generals, her military junk are paraded on national holidays before the narcotized public. The model is not the kingdom of peace, it is an Orwellian transplant, taken bodily from Big Brother's bloody heart.
...
The 52-year-old Jesuit priest who served 27 months in Danbury Federal Penitentiary for burning draft records in Catonsville, Md. in 1968, attacked Israel as an "imperialist nation" and a "settler" state" which is "the creation of an elite of millionaires, generals and entrepreneurs."..

Among the charges Berrigan made against Israel before the Arab graduates was that "she had turned the law of nature into a mockery, creating ghettos, disenfranchised peoples, exiles, hopeless minorities, cheap labor forces has expanded the prison system, perfected her espionage, exported on the world market that expensive blood ridden commodity, the savage triumph of the technological West–violence and the tools of violence." In an interview published today in the NY Post, Berrigan was quoted as reaffirming his condemnation of Israel and saying he "was very depressed by the silence of my own church about Israel." He denied, however, that he was anti-Semitic. "I'm as anti-Semitic as I am anti-Catholic, the Jesuit priest was quoted as saying.
