Will Israel Outlive Its Fascists? Jabotinsky: Mussolini's Favorite
by Steven Meyer
What has brought Israel to its current path of self-destruction is the
resurrection of the fascist Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotinsky, whose 1923
"Iron Wall" thesis — a Jewish military force that would dash Arabs'
hope for a nation-state — is the basis for Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon's and the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) Nazi-like
policies today. Sharon is an avowed follower of Jabotinsky, and every
Likud prime minister, from Menachem Begin to Benjamin Netanyahu, has
been a protégé of Jabotinsky, either as an extremist leader within his
movement, or a family member of such leaders. Collectively, they are
called Jabotinsky's "Kindergarten." They often refer to themselves as
Jabotinsky's "Princes" (see Steven Meyer, "Jabotinsky Wrecked
Zionists' Hope for 'Water for Peace' in Mideast, EIR, May 24, 2002).
A number of courageous individuals within the Jewish community have
been outspoken against this atrocity. In 1996, Rabbi David Goldberg,
the senior rabbi of the Reform Synagogue of London, published To The
Promised Land, A History of Zionist Thought From Its Origins to the
Modern State of Israel (New York: Penguin, 1996). Goldberg includes a
section on Jabotinsky, which is unique in detailing how Jabotinsky's
Zionism did not come, as he puts it, from an inner contact with
Judaism, nor did Jabotinsky ever "breathe the atmosphere of Jewish
cultural tradition." Rabbi Goldberg proves, through Jabotinsky's
personal letters, published articles, and autobiography, that his
Zionism came from an affinity for various Italian Romantic movements
and specific individuals who helped launch the career of Benito
Mussolini.
Jabotinsky admits in his autobiography: "If I have a spiritual
homeland, it is Italy, much more than Russia.... All my views on
nationalism, the state, and society were developed during those years
under Italian influence; it was there that I learned to love the art
of the architect, the sculptor, and the painter, as well as the Latin
song.... At the university my teachers were Antonio Labriola and
Enrico Ferri, and the belief in the justice of the socialist system,
which they implanted in my heart, I kept as self-evident until it
became utterly destroyed by the Red experience in Russia. The legend
of Garibaldi, the writings of Mazzini, the poetry of Leopardi and
Giusti have enriched and deepened my superficial Zionism; from an
instinctive feeling they made it into a doctrine" (emphasis added).
Author Shmuel Katz, a leader of Irgun (the Jewish terrorist movement
against the British occupation of Palestine), who travelled with
Jabotinsky as his personal secretary for part of 1937, revealed the
extent of Jabotinsky's fervor for this Romantic milieu in Lone Wolf, A
Biography of Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotinsky (New York: Barricade Books,
1996). Born on Oct. 17, 1880, Jabotinsky attended the University of
Rome for approximately two years, leaving in the Summer of 1901. He
took classes with Enrico Ferri, who was the founder of the science of
criminal sociology, and studied philosophy and history with Antonio
Labriola, one of Italy's leading Marxists. He attended Labriola's
nightly salon at the Aranyo Cafe in the Corso. To his friends, he was
"Vladimiro Giabotinsky." His affinity for Italian political figures
continued, and he made a detailed study of Garibaldi's life, for whom
he developed a great admiration.
Rabbi Goldberg provides a most crucial psychological detail of the
influence of these Italian movements on Jabotinsky the Zionist. In
1920, when Palestinian Arabs attacked Jewish settlers in Jerusalem
during the Passover celebrations, Jabotinsky led a reprisal attack as
the nascent leader of the underground defense force Haganah.
Jabotinsky's role-model for the reprisal was Gabriele D'Annunzio, the
Italian poet, novelist, and soldier (Jabotinsky was also a poet and
writer), and an early supporter of fascism who was then mounting a
"gallant but futile" defense of the mini-state of Fiume. D'Annunzio
was defeated but allowed to retreat to Lake Garda, where he set
himself to writing about patriotism and entertained Mussolini.
Existentialism and Fascism
Jabotinsky's Zionism was existentialism, and he chose to recruit
followers by attacking traditional Judaism. In 1907, he and a handful
of collaborators formed Rasvyett (New Dawn), a Jewish weekly, in St.
Petersburg, Russia. It became the organ of the Revisionist movement.
Irgunist author Katz describes Rasvyett as making a revolution in the
thought and mood of the Russian Jewish community. "The Jew — Rasvyett
taught — demanded equality not because he represented an ancient
civilization nor because he could name so many great Jews who had
contributed to the progress of humanity in a variety of fields. The
Jews did not demand equality because of their being especially
virtuous or because they were so useful to the Russian economy....
They did not set out to be anybody's teacher, or to be a 'light unto
nations' [the Biblical injunction which David Ben-Gurion, an opponent
of Jabotinsky and the father of Israel, held dearly — ed.]. Demanding
civil rights for all, they demanded for themselves equality in those
rights for the sole reason that, like everybody else, they were human
beings."
Rabbi Goldberg also provides a survey of Jabotinsky's writings to show
how he developed into a fascist. In 1910, Jabotinsky published an
article entitled "Homo Homini Lupus" ("Man Is a Wolf to Man"), which
shows how deeply ingrained was his existentialism, as was his hatred
for the intellectual tradition of Moses Mendelssohn and Mosaic
Judaism. Liberalism is dead, Jabotinsky argued. Liberalism is "a broad
concept, vague because of its all-encompassing nature; it is a dream
about order and justice without violence, a universal dream woven of
sympathy, tolerance, a belief in the basic goodness and righteousness
of man." There is no foundation whatsoever for the view that "anyone
who has himself suffered for a long time under the yoke of a stronger
one, will not oppress those weaker than he.... Only the Bible says,
'thou shalt not oppress a stranger, for ye know the heart of a
stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.' Contemporary
morality has no place for such childish humanism.... Stupid is the
person who believes in his neighbor, good and loving as the neighbor
may be; stupid is the person who relies on justice. Justice exists
only for those whose fists and stubbornness make it possible for them
to realize it.... Do not believe anyone, be always on guard, carry
your stick always with you — this is the only way of surviving in this
wolfish battle of all against all."
In 1912, Jabotinsky published an article entitled "Reactionary," which
embraced the fascist and corporatist view of the state. In writing
about the nationalist fervor of Garibaldi, he declared: "One's whole
strength was consumed solely by national questions and 'amor patriae,'
but today's socialists would dismiss Garibaldi as divisive, a
reactionary chauvinist, an obfuscator of class consciousness, a
seducer of youth from universal human ideals. Did Garibaldi remind his
compatriots to love the Germans like brothers? On the contrary, his
every action was to intensify their hatred of the foreigner; he
demanded unity of rich and poor in the name of the homeland; he
demanded that they forget all conflicts and put aside all internal
quarrels, until the nationalist ideal is realized."
Racial Theories of Zionism
Jabotinsky incorporated his racial theories of Zionism from the
international eugenics movement, whose leading proponents wrote
Hitler's racial theories. In 1913, he wrote a document that could have
been used by the German Nazi Party. "Let us draw for ourself the ideal
type of an 'absolute nation,'|" he wrote. "It would have to possess a
racial appearance of marked unique character, an appearance different
from the racial nature of that nation's neighbors. It would have to
occupy from time immemorial a continuous and clearly defined piece of
land; it would be highly desirable if in that area there would be no
alien minorities, who would weaken national unity. It would have to
maintain an original national language, which is not derived from
another nation."
His corresponding adherence to racialist dogma was evidenced as early
as 1904. In a letter, he wrote: "The source of national feeling ...
lies in a man's blood ... in his racio-physical type, and in that
alone ... a man's spiritual outlooks are primarily determined by his
physical structure.... For that reason we do not believe in spiritual
assimilation.... All the nations that have disappeared (apart from
those ... who were massacred ...) were swallowed up in the chasm of
mixed marriages.... Autonomy in the Golah [exile] is likely to
lead ... to the complete disappearance of the Jewish nation as such
from the face of the earth.... Just imagine ... when our offspring
will be living at peace among a strange people.... These conditions
will lead naturally and freely to an increase in mixed marriages....
This will mean the inception of complete assimilation.... Without
those physical roots, the spiritual flower is bound to wither.... This
will mark the end of the battle waged by the Jewish people for
national existence....
"A preservation of national integrity is impossible except by a
preservation of racial purity, and for that purpose we are in need of
a territory of our own.... If you should ask me in a sense of revolt
and outrage: but surely in that case you want segregation at all
costs! I would answer that one must not be afraid of words and not of
the word 'segregation.' The poet, the scholar, the thinker ... must
cut himself off and remain alone with himself.... No creativeness is
possible without segregation.... The nation, too, must create.... A
creative nation is in need of segregation ... it will create new
values in segregation ... it will not keep them to itself but will
place them on the common international table for the general good, and
so its segregation will be looked upon with favor by humanity."
Jabotinsky's views were endemic to his brand of Zionism. Wolfgang von
Weisl, the financial director of Jabotinsky's New Zionist Organization
(the Revisionists' world congress) and its diplomatic representative
to Eastern Europe, in an interview with a Bucharest diplomatic paper,
said that "he [Weisl] personally was a supporter of Fascism, and he
rejoiced at the victory of Fascist Italy in Abyssinia as a triumph of
the White races against the Black." Von Weisl was a life-long personal
friend and collaborator of Menachem Begin.
In 1933, Jabotinsky published "A Lecture on Jewish History," which
furthered his race science. As Rabbi Goldberg noted, it was a crucial
text that would allow for Jabotinsky's followers, who had become well
established in Palestine, to believe that they were superior to the
Arabs. "Every race has a different spiritual mechanism," Jabotinsky
wrote. "This has nothing to do with the fact whether there exist
'pure' races or not; of course, all races are 'mixed,' and this
includes us, the Jews. But the mixture is different from case to
case.... The nature of the spiritual mechanism depends on race; the
degree of intelligence, a stronger or weaker tendency to look for
novel experiences, the readiness to acquiesce in the existing
situation or the courage to make new discoveries, the stubbornness or,
conversely, the kind of character which gives up after the first
unsuccessful attempt: all these modes are themselves a product of
race" (emphasis added).
What Is the 'Iron Wall'?
Jabotinsky's "Iron Wall" is the exact thesis by which Israelis such as
Sharon have deployed against the Palestinians, and especially
Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, today. It is this
thesis which was embraced by the political networks that killed the
Oslo peace process and authored the assassination of Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin. (See, in particular, Lenni Brenner's book, The
Iron Wall, Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir [London: Zed
Books, 1984].)
Listen to Jabotinsky: "A voluntary agreement between us and the Arabs
of Palestine is inconceivable, now or in the foreseeable future.... We
can not promise any reward either to the Arabs of Palestine or to
Arabs abroad. A voluntary agreement is unattainable, and thus, those
who regard an accord with the Arabs as a condition sine qua non of
Zionism, must admit to themselves today that this condition cannot be
attained and hence we must eschew Zionism. We must either suspend our
settlement efforts or continue them without paying attention to the
mood of the natives. Settlements can develop under the protection of a
force which is not dependent on the local population, behind an iron
wall which they [the Arabs] will be powerless to break down."
The Iron Wall was a Jewish military force whose purpose Jabotinsky
explained as follows: "As long as there lingers in the heart of the
Arabs even the faintest hope that they may succeed in ridding
themselves of us, there are no blandishments or promises in the world
which have the power to persuade them to renounce their hope —
precisely because they are not a mob, but a 'living nation.'|" Think
again of murderer Sharon. Jabotinsky argued that only when the wave of
Arab opposition had been broken against the "iron wall," would
moderate elements with more measured response come forward to
negotiate with the Jews. Then talks could take place about mutual
concessions. "But the sole way to this agreement is through the iron
wall, the establishment in Palestine of a force which will in no way
be influenced by Arab pressure. In other words, the only way to
achieve a settlement in the future is total avoidance of attempts to
arrive at a settlement in the present."
Jabotinsky then published The Morality of the Iron Wall, a Nazi-like
propaganda piece akin to Nietzsche's Triumph of the Will. He wrote:
"Zionism is a positive force, morally speaking — a moral movement with
justice on its side.... If the cause is just, then justice must
triumph, without regard for the assent or dissent of anyone else....
[The world] does not belong only to those who have too much land, but
also [to] those who have none. Requisition of an area of land from a
nation with large stretches of territory in order to make a home for a
wandering people, is an act of justice, and if the land-owning nation
does not wish to cede it (and this is completely natural) it must be
compelled. A sacred truth, for whose realization the use of force is
essential, does not cease thereby to be a sacred truth."
Jabotinsky Allies With Mussolini
By 1934, Jabotinsky and his Betar youth movement had made an alliance
with Il Duce, when the Betar established a naval training academy at
Civitavecchia, Mussolini's naval base north of Rome. L'Idea
Sionistica, Betar's Italian-language magazine, described the
dedication ceremonies which launched the academy: "The order —
'Attention!' A triple chant ordered by the squad's commanding officer
— 'Viva L'Italia, Viva Il Re! Viva Il Duce!' resounded, followed by
the benediction which Rabbi Aldo Lattes invoked in Italian and in
Hebrew for God, for the King, and for Il Duce ... 'Giovinezza' [the
fascist party's anthem] was sung with much enthusiasm by the Betarim."
Mussolini endorsed Jabotinsky in 1935, saying, "For Zionism to
succeed, you need to have a Jewish state with a Jewish flag, and
Jewish language. The person who really understands that is your
fascist, Jabotinsky."
Il Duce gave his personal endorsement to the project in 1936, when he
visited Civitavecchia and reviewed the Betar cadre force. It was not a
mere coincidence that the universal uniform of Betar was the fascist
brownshirt.
Although Jabotinsky was careful not to endorse Mussolini directly, he
nonetheless publicly defended him. In 1935 during a lecture tour of
the United States, Jabotinsky wrote several articles which appeared in
the New York Jewish Daily Bulletin. "Whatever any few think of
Fascism's other points, there is no doubt that the Italian brand of
Fascist ideology is at least an ideology of racial equality. Let us
not be so humble as to pretend that this does not matter — that racial
equality is too insignificant an idea to outbalance the absence of
civic freedom. For it is not true.... Equality comes first, always
first, super first; and Jews should remember it, and hold that a
regime maintaining that principle in a world turned cannibal does,
partly, but considerably, atone for its other short-comings."
That same year, Jabotinsky founded the New Zionist Organization and
sought to hold its first convention in the Venetian port city of
Trieste. According to sources, associates dissuaded him, arguing that
it would be a public endorsement of Italian Fascism, which was not
politically appropriate. (The congress was held in Vienna.)
'From a Fascist's Notebook'
Other leaders within Jabotinksy's movement were publicly avowed
fascists. During the early 1930s, the Betar newspaper in Palestine,
Doar Hayom, contained a weekly column entitled "From a Fascist's
Notebook," which was written by Abba Achimier. Achimier's articles
referred to Jabotinsky as "Our Duce," and they embraced Mussolini for
transforming Italy from a weak-willed people into a vital nation.
Achimier also embraced Hitler's National Socialism for saving Germany
from civil war and the dictatorship of the Soviets.
Achimier was a major influence within the Revisionist movement. Prime
Minister Menachem Begin, a prote@aage@aa of Jabotinsky, was a close
associate of Achimier as well. When Begin and other Revisionists
created the Herut party after Israeli Independence, Begin recruited
Achimier and Weisl to write for its newspaper.
Nor was Begin the only Likud prime minister with ties to Achimier. To
celebrate the 50th anniversary of Israel, Benzion Netanyahu, the
father and political mentor of then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
and who had been Jabotinsky's personal secretary in the 1930s, gave a
lecture in Jerusalem to commemorate the life of Achimier, whom he
praised as his political role model.
Achimier was not only a publicly avowed fascist, but in 1933 he was
arrested and charged with inciting to murder Chaim Arlosoroff, the
head of the political department of the Jewish Agency, who was
negotiating with leading Arabs to establish a binational state and an
economic program that would uplift the entire region.
An Alliance With Hitler
The LEHI organization, known also as the Stern Gang, was a splinter
group from Jabotinsky's Revisionists, and Likud Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir became one of its leading figures. According to authenticated
documents, Avraham Stern, the leader and founder of LEHI, drafted
various proposals for an alliance with Mussolini. Documents also prove
that as late as 1941, LEHI sought a treaty agreement with Hitler, that
would allow for LEHI to establish a totalitarian state in Palestine.
The details of LEHI's fascist philosophy and its politics was revealed
in "Yitzhak Shamir, Then and Now," an article by Israel Shahak (Middle
East Policy Council, 1992). Shahak, an authority on Israel's religious
and political right wing, provided detailed information and source
material. Although it was known in Israel, Shahak's article marked the
first time that it had ever been published in English, or circulated
outside Israel. Shahak is a Holocaust survivor and a retired professor
of chemistry at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and was chairman of
the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights.
Shamir embraced LEHI's philosophy, "Principles of Renaissance" (of the
Jewish nation), and, according to Shahak, they were his guiding light
as Prime Minister.
The "Principles of Renaissance" were written by Avraham Stern, and
they are the basis for understanding LEHI's attempted alliances with
Mussolini and Hitler. All LEHI members and recruits were to learn them
by heart. The principles are known today because they were printed in
various books by LEHI veterans, but the most authoritative version
appears in Unknown Soldiers, a book published by the Association of
LEHI Veterans, and the preparation of whose contents was overseen by
Shamir personally.
Principle A, "The Nation," reads: "The Jewish nation is unlike any
other nation: [it is the] founder of monotheism; the legislator of
prophetic morality; the sole bearer of universal culture; great in
tradition and self-sacrifice; [great] in its will to live and its
capacity for suffering, in its unique spiritual radiance and its
assurance of its Redemption." (Shahak, a Holocaust survivor, remarks
that this concept of Jewish uniqueness is horrifying, because it is so
strikingly similar to Nazi concepts of German uniqueness.)
Principle D, "The Mission," reads: "The [Jewish] nation cannot undergo
a renaissance without restoration of the monarchy."
Shahak specifically notes that the word "peace" appears not once in
any principle; to the contrary, there is an emphasis on perpetual war.
Principle|I, "War," reads: "An eternal war shall be waged against all
those who satanically stand in the way of the realization [of our]
aims," while Principle J, "Conquest," reads: "The conquest of the
homeland by force from aliens for perpetuity" — note that "aliens"
refers to the Arabs.
Principle N, "The Fate of the Aliens," reads: "The problem of the
aliens will be solved through population exchanges," i.e., there shall
be an ethnically pure homeland.
Principle R, "The Temple," commands "the construction of the Third
Temple as a symbol in the process of Total Redemption."
Shahak says that it was only by reviewing the fundamentalist
"Principles of Renaissance," which Shamir committed to heart as a
young Stern gang member, could he understand what motivated Shamir's
policies over years as Prime Minister. For him, Shamir was a "secular
Khomeinist."
LEHI was a warped bunch of meshugunehs (crazies) who extravagantly
praised the Nazis for locking the Polish Jews into the ghettos, and
who contrasted this favorably to the conditions of Jewish life in
Poland before the Nazi invasion. Shahak quotes historian Yosef Heller,
an authoritative source who wrote LEHI: Ideology and Politics
1940-1949. According to Heller's research, LEHI's praise was extended
on the assumption that "in the Warsaw Ghetto there existed Jewish
police, Jewish courts, Jewish tax collection ... [which looked like] a
nascent Jewish state," which was much preferable to those conditions
in Mandatory Palestine!
As late as 1941, unlike all other Zionist groups, LEHI still respected
Hitler, and sought to forge an alliance with the Nazis, which included
establishing a totalitarian Jewish state in Palestine. In late
December 1940, a draft proposal for an alliance with Hitler was
unanimously adopted by the LEHI command. LEHI member Naftali Lubenchik
delivered the proposal to Otto Werner von Hentig, the senior officer
in the German Consulate in Beirut. He forwarded the proposal to
Berlin. The document was found in German archives after World War II,
and authenticated by former LEHI members.
The proposal reads in part: "It is often stated in the speeches and
utterance of the leading statesmen of National Socialist Germany that
a New Order in Europe requires as a prerequisite the radical solution
of the Jewish question through evacuation. The evacuation of the
Jewish masses from Europe is a precondition for solving the Jewish
question. This can only be made possible and complete through the
settlement of these masses in the home of the Jewish people,
Palestine, and through the establishment of a Jewish state in its
historic boundaries.... The NMO [LEHI's military arm] ... is well
acquainted with the good will of the German Reich Government and its
authorities towards Zionist activity inside Germany and towards
Zionist emigration plans.... The establishment of the historical
Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis and bound by a
treaty with the German Reich would be in the interests of
strengthening the future German position of power in the Near East....
The NMO in Palestine offers to take an active part in the war on
Germany's side.... The cooperation of the Israeli freedom movement
would also be in line with one of the recent speeches of the German
Reich's Chancellor, in which Herr Hitler stressed that any combination
and any alliance would be entered into in order to isolate England and
defeat it."
Subsequent LEHI proposals forwarded to Hentig and listed by him in his
own memorandums suggest further collaboration, including "cooperation
with the Nazis in military, political, and intelligence domains within
Palestine, and after suitable organizational preparations, also
outside Palestine."
Jabotinskyites 'Then and Now'
Ariel Sharon started his election campaign on Sept. 28, 2000, with a
provocative march to the "Temple Mount," which created tension and
helped provoke the current Intifada. Sharon was literally walking in
the footsteps of Jabotinsky, who had initiated such provocations as
early as 1929, when 300 Betarim marched on the Temple Mount and the
Wailing Wall, armed with explosives. The provocation set into motion a
wave of violence on both sides which saw 116 Arabs and 133 Jews
killed.
In the early 20th Century, Jabotinsky and the Young Turk movement,
which he helped lead, were created and set into motion by the British
and Venetians for the purpose of breaking apart the Ottoman Empire,
which then controlled the Middle East. Later, after the British took
power over the region during World War|I, they launched Jabotinsky and
his movement into Palestine to ensure British political control of the
region and its access to oil. Whenever a peace was near that would
change the region, Jabotinsky and his followers were set into motion
to oppose the peace and destabilize both Arabs and Jews.
In 1933, three Revisionists, including Abba Achimier, were arrested
for the murder of Chaim Arlosoroff, the head of the political
department of the Jewish Agency, the quasi-Zionist government in
Palestine. Arlosoroff had been secretly negotiating for a binational
state, with Emir Abdallah of Transjordan and leading Palestinian
Arabs. The negotiations included the creation of massive water
projects that would bring fresh drinking water and water for
agriculture to the most remote Arab villages. The plans were written
by Elwood Meade, the chairman of the U.S. Bureau of Land Reclamation,
who determined that a dam built in the upper Jordan River Valley would
provide electricity for modern cities and water that could create an
agricultural area as rich as the formerly-desert Imperial Valley of
California. Arlosoroff also discussed with his Arab partners, creating
an independent economic federation that would link a binational
Palestine with other states in the region. The plans threatened to
dismantle British control of the region.
In 1948, after decades of terror and fascism, Prime Minister David Gen-
Gurion, the father of Israel, who had publicly labelled Jabotinsky
"Vladimir Hitler," outlawed the Revisionist party as a threat to the
fledgling state. But, today, the "Great Game" is being played much as
it was in the 1920s and 1930s. Jabotinsky's followers were brought
back as the Herut party, which later became the Likud. After
manufactured scandals rocked the Labor Party government in 1976,
Jabotinsky's "Princes" were brought to power for the first time, with
the 1977 election of Menachem Begin. It occurred under the watch of
U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, as an essential
component of what would become known as Samuel Huntington's "Clash of
Civilizations" policy.
Much of the support for today's fascist Jabotinskyites, the Likud
party, and many of the splinter groups on the right, including the
late Meir Kahane's Kach movement, comes from the United States. Prime
Minister Begin established ties to the U.S. "Christian" religious
right, and in 1980, at the centennial celebrations of Jabotinsky's
birth, Begin pinned the Jabotinsky Medal on the Christian Coalition's
Jerry Falwell. Numbers of American right-wing Jewish financiers,
members of the "Mega" group, have financed the candidacies of every
Likud prime minister. (Recent changes in Israeli election laws
prevented Sharon from receiving direct financial support.)
As U.S. Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche observed in his May
1, 2002 webcast, if one wants to look at what unleashed the current
reign of terror against the Israeli civilian population, it was the
murder of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. That singular act, authored by
Jabotinsky's heirs, unleashed the events that have led to the current
bloody wave of war and destruction which is killing both Jew and Arab,
and it has all but snuffed out Rabin's long-awaited "peace of the
brave."

> Will Israel Outlive Its Fascists? Jabotinsky: Mussolini's Favorite
> by Steven Meyer
Meyer, a Lyndon LaRouche favorite, is full of crap. Jabotinsky
detested Il Duce. Unlike Labor Zionist such as Chaim Weizmann, who met
with Musso four times, Jabotinsky never had any dealings with him. As
a matter of fact, Jabotinsky's political views were antithetical to
fascism.
"A revolution is what I call a liberating uprising but there
is no liberation except in freedom of expression, freedom of speech
and freedom of assembly. There is no liberation without the right of
every citizen to influence, to change the regime; no liberation
without equality of rights for every citizen regardless of race,
religion and class.
"My outlook is in essence the negation of the totalistic
state. The state system that is the most normal and healthy as well as
the most pleasant is the “minimal state.” That state acts only in case
of real necessity. There is no basis for limiting the right of self-
expression in the area of ideas."
"Of course, there is a need for extra flexibility. In times
of war and crisis (economic as well as political), there might arise
the need to expand the scope of what is to be considered the minimum.
The instinctive ideal of man is a serene anarchy. As long as this
ideal cannot be realized, democracy must be recognized as the form
closes to the ideal.
"An individual - this is the supreme concept, the highest
value, that which was created “in the image of G-d”. The doctrine of
communo-fascism states that man is part of state societal mechanism.
Our tradition has it that in the beginning, G-d created the
individual. Man is intended to be free. Democracy’s meaning is freedom
and the goal of democracy is to insure the influence of the minority."
V. Jabotinsky, Theory of Economy II, Introduction (1934) p 218-219
"Liberalism is bankrupt. Parliamentarianism’s exalted ideas
have been shattered. Is it so? We will yet see if Grandpa Liberalism
has been buried along with the concepts of freedom, equality and the
people’s will. The fashion of the “now” will disappear simply because
it is evil and because liberalism’s prescriptions for society are
better and more practical."
"True these are not the remedies of a pharmacy or a
hospital clinic. Occasionally, one falls sick and needs bitter
medicine and maybe an operation, but one does not need to make
hospital regimen into a way of life. Injections, bandages and diets
make up the hospital routine, whereas life is eating what you want and
going where you want. Today’s therapy and surgery may be successful.
It is possible, too, that they will prove misguided. But this I do not
comprehend: masses, hysterically saluting in a chloroformed state, a
castor-oiled salute in deranged nightshirt dress, this crowd is a
gathering of good-for-nothings. Grandpa Liberalism will yet dance at
their funeral and the funeral of its ‘buriers’ today."
V. Jabotinsky, Grandpa Liberalism, 14th October 1932

Of course they can't. Another thing -- 99% of the clowns feigning
indignation over that long ago post never read the original. Moreover,
they say NOTHING about the antisemite who assserted that the IDF eat
Pallies. That aside, it has served as a litmus test for discerning
brain-dead antisemites, no?

Which has, since then, morphed into an excellent litmus test for
revealing the rabid, braindead antisemites amongst us.

Yep. I personally think they're delusional, because facts
and reasoned argumentation don't seem to affect them.
I did get when guy to at least admit that Israel was the
only decent state in the entire Mid-East though. This was
in RL.

Even so, it's an accomplishment. Actually, Israel is a safer place

What can you expect of someone who IS an asshole! LOL
BTW, have you checked his time stamps lately? They show that he keeps
messing with his computer clock to hide his abnormal posting hours. His
time stamps are completely out of tune with the time stamps of the other
posts, in every thread now! ROTFLOL

HIs antisemitic delusions are warping his mind.
