The
events surrounding recent comments by a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood as well
as the recent furor surrounding the comments of Iran's President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad and others have opened the inquisitive minds of those willing to go
beyond the controlled media spin provided on the news channels such as FOX, CNN
or MSNBC.
Some of you may already have some prior knowledge of Roger Garaudy and what he
went through as a result of his written words in his book “The Founding Myths
of Modern Israel” regarding the dissolution of Jews in
In
other words, what happened to the Jews is not unique.
What
exactly did Ahmadinejad say?
You've heard all of the rancor and probably wondered if you are unacquainted with the facts and have no other sources other than the controlled media what all of the fuss was all about?
On December
8th 2005 it was reported that

"Some
European countries insist on saying that during World War II, Hitler
burned millions of Jews and put them in concentration camps,"
Ahmadinejad said. "Any historian, commentator or scientist who doubts
that is taken to prison or gets condemned." Source: CBSNews http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/08/world/main1109320.shtml |
On December
14th 2005 he directed his comments to European nations and for the
record, he
put forth the premise that if the Jewish people were wronged by Europeans in
general and Germans in particular, why is it that the restitution given to the
Jews (land use for the purposes of establishing a Jewish state) comes at the
expense of the Palestinian people?

This is extremely logical, and one with even just a cursory understanding of the situation and the desire for equality and justice can relate to.
Those
who committed the offense should be charged with the responsibility of making
restitution for the crime.
So
why is everyone so upset? This must be understood in light of the comments made
by the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
So
What
exactly did the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood say?
Muhammad Mahdi Akef, General Guide of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood added to the controversy by stating the following:

"Western
democracy has attacked everyone who does not share the vision of the sons of

*A statement released days later clarified that his remarks were not meant to imply that the Jewish holocaust did not happen, however, that the remarks were made to highlight the West’s attitude toward democracy when it comes to dealing with justice for the Palestinians.
Perhaps a poor word choice either by Akef or the translators who translated his words from Arabic to English. We all know of the difficulty in conveying words and ideas and translating information in different languages, however, the general principle of the statement rings true.
Read the referenced articles and judge for yourself.
Regarding
the misfortune of the Jews in
Some of what was believed to have happened did, some of it did not. Some of it took place but not in the manner that some remember it.
This is what happens when
there are different individuals providing their interpretations of events that
have transpired.
In
that sense, history is kind of like a car accident. When the witnesses are asked
about their recollection of events, there are usually many different stories
depending on one’s vantage point.
All events and facts must be placed in their proper context, like for example
when the Jews attempt to contextualize their involvement in the Trans Atlantic
Slave Trade by saying “It wasn’t just us, everyone else was involved too!”
Most acquiesce when confronted with the facts surrounding the terrible fate of
many Jews in
The position of the TEI intellectually is that what happened to the Jews should
be viewed in the light of what happened to Blacks in the Trans-Atlantic Slave
Trade, as well as those who perished at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as what
happened to the Indigenous people who are also referred to as Native Americans.
As you can see, those Holocausts with the exception of
There have been many campaigns of mass destruction aimed at entire groups of
people, not just what happened to the Jews in Germany, however, it appears that
many Jews believe they have cornered the market on human suffering and anyone
who dares to challenge or question them regarding those events is ex post facto
an enemy of the Jewish people.
If that is their feeling, that is fine. No one should be able to tell another
group of people how they should feel. It is up to that particular group of
people to determine that which is to be considered detrimental or that which is
to be considered beneficial to the aims and goals of the collective.
This is the right of self-determination. Kujichagulia. One of the principles of the Nguzo Saba.
Why
do Jewish leaders feel so comfortable telling Black people who they should
listen to and consider friends and enemies?
That being the case, they should not object to being judged using the same scale
of justice they have used against others.
This is logical, isn’t it?
Logically speaking, if they have the desire to diminish our suffering (taking
place by the hands and through the wicked machinations of Jewish merchants and
others) then those Jews holding those types of beliefs are to be rightfully
considered the enemies of our people and they should be treated as such.
How should enemies be treated?
This
is one to ponder by those of you who have been given the responsibility to guide
our people out of the collective quagmire of ignominy and decadence to reclaim
our elevated position and secure our rightful destiny.
Facts are facts and truth is truth.
