Heroes are rare; they are tragic and inspiring at the same time. Such a real-life hero is Zakaria Zubeidi, 45, from Jenin in Palestine. A man of brawn and brain, of sword and harp, he was an al Aqsa Brigade commander as well as the director of the Freedom Theatre. Years ago, the Sunday Times called him ‘one of Israel’s most wanted and implacable enemies’. A cat of nine lives, he survived many Israeli assassination attempts; he had been in and out of jail many times; he got his first Israeli bullet at 13; his film premiere at 14.
A few days ago, he staged an audacious escape from Israel’s high security prison, together with five other convicts. They dug a 20 yard-long tunnel with their spoons, just like the Count of Monte Cristo, and emerged outside the walls, squeezing through a narrow communication channel. This brave, nay impossible feat encouraged the captive Palestinians and gave them a second wind when they were exhausted and desperate. The people in the Holy Land and the large Palestinian diaspora held its collective breath following their escape and prayed for them to reach safety.
It is normal for humans to empathise with fugitives, rather than pursuers. Young readers of Uncle Tom’s Cabin thus followed the plight of Eliza, child in tow, crossing the frozen Ohio River from bondage to freedom, escaping the murderous dogs and slave catchers. Alas, Zakaria never reached the safe shore. In the Dixie of the 1830s, there were courageous and noble white people who harboured the runaway black slaves. Germans and Russians, Poles and Frenchmen provided refuge for the Jews that escaped from the camps. In Israel 2021, not a single Jew offered the fugitives water and food nor helped a Palestinian runaway; everyone who saw them immediately informed police, said the authorities. In a few days, four starved prisoners were hunted down, beaten up and taken back to jail; two are still at large.
I saw on Israeli TV news four shackled prisoners in the court. Zakaria had been badly beaten. His capturers broke his ribs and jaw, while he was already handcuffed. His face was grim and stern like that of a suffering Christ before the crooked court of Synedrion. It was a sad sight, the return of the hero to the dark dungeons of the Jewish state. But then, he was born and brought up under the occupation. His story is the story of the cheated generation that came to the fore after the great betrayal.
In 1993, the State of Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo accords; this agreement certified by handshake on the White House lawn promised Palestinians full independence after five years of transition. The Jews reneged on the deal. While individual Jews can be honest and honourable; as a collective they are extremely untrustworthy. It comes from a Jewish superiority complex, of a refusal to obey the rules established for lesser species; of feeling they can do whatever they find expedient. Fair play is not a Jewish idea at all.
The Palestinians, swindled by Israel, had nobody to turn to; they responded by initiating the Second Intifada, the rising taking place in 2000. It was the pivotal event for Zakaria’s generation; for me, too. I was radicalised by the Intifada, by the dishonesty and cruelty of the Jewish state and by the courage of Palestinian resisters. In 2001, I began writing in English to an international audience; next year, in 2002, I entered the church, parting with Jewry.
The Jews became radicalised, too: The support of US Jewry for the 9/11 narrative and for the War on Terror can’t be understood outside of this context: the Oslo accords, reneging on Oslo, the Intifada and 9/11 are links of one chain. Before 9/11, Jews were condemned for reneging on Oslo and for the bloody suppression of the Intifada. After 9/11 they could smash the Palestinians with all their might. For young men like Zakaria even survival was problematic.
Zakaria deserves a Plutarch to write up his life, but I’ll do what I can, until a Plutarch comes along. Zakaria was born and grew up in the Jenin Refugee Camp, a place where the expelled Palestinians from Haifa’s Carmel were corralled in 1948 by the victorious Jews. His father was an English language teacher; he died rather young, leaving his widow and their eight children to survive.
Zakaria was 11, when the First Intifada began. It was a spontaneous protest, caused by the enclosure of common Palestinian lands and their transfer to Jewish settlers. Jewish lawyers, predominantly ladies of liberal persuasion, applied the English 16th century idea of ‘enclosure of the commons’ and claimed all commonly held lands as belonging to Jews only. In England this policy caused ‘enclosure riots’; as it did in Palestine. In response to Jewish land grabbing, unarmed peasants took the nearest handy stone and threw it at Jewish settlers’ cars. The Jews replied with fire. Hundreds of unarmed Palestinians were shot and killed. The children suffered most.
Boys like Zakaria lived dangerously in the camp. The Israeli army treated refugee camps as their hunting ground. They would drive in on their Jeeps and shoot around, terrorising children and grown ups. Chris Hedges, of the New York Times, wrote of their modus operandi in his Gaza Diary, published in Harper’s Magazine: “the refugee camp … is still and peaceful. Children play with scrap-paper kites and ragged soccer balls. Suddenly two IDF jeeps with loudspeakers pull up. They immediately taunt the boys with obscenities, luring them up to the fence. Then [a] percussion grenade explodes. The boys, most no more than 10 or 11 years old, scatter, running clumsily across the heavy sand. They descend out of sight behind a sandbank in front of me… The soldiers shoot; the bullets from the M-16s tumble end over end through the children’s slight bodies. Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport.”
Instead of being cowed, the camp boys like Zakaria took the danger in their stride. The daredevils would throw stones at invading jeeps like the 13-year old boy, Farris Odeh did. Farris was the Palestinian kid we saw throwing stones at Israeli tanks with the nonchalance of a village boy chasing away a ferocious dog. It was a dangerous game: the famous picture of Farris was taken on October 29, and a week later, on 8th of November, a Jewish sniper murdered him in cold blood.
In similar circumstances, 13-year-old Zakaria had been shot by a Jewish soldier. The bullet entered his leg; he spent six months in hospital and went through multiple operations. He remains lame to this very day. The soldier has never been tried or punished for shooting a child, but a Jewish soldier is practically never tried or punished for wounding or murdering a Palestinian child, and there are thousands of murdered children.
As Zakaria recuperated, his mother (who was a great believer in peaceful coexistence with Israeli Jews) invited a new theatre company to do rehearsals at her home. She gave them the upper floor of their house, fed them and helped them. It was a children’s theatre, performed by camp children and for camp children, organized by an unusual person, Arna Mer. This Jewish communist lady “betrayed her people” (as many Jews were prone to say) and married an Arab, an Orthodox Christian Palestinian Arab, also a communist, even a prominent member of Communist Party. They called their son Sputnik, as a sign of their love for the Soviet Union, the beacon of light for such liberation movements. Eventually Sputnik found his name too exotic, and changed it to ‘Juliano Mer’. He became a friend of Zakaria. Together they acted on stage; the company consisted of six or eight children. The theatre was called The Stone Theatre. It was around 1988-89, at the height of the First Intifada, the rising that convinced Israel to seek an accommodation and enter Oslo accords with Palestinian leadership.
Years later, Juliano Mer made a film Arna’s Children, based on their memories and video archive. It turned out that the majority of the young actors were killed by Jews by that time. Zakaria’s mother was also killed by a Jewish sniper, shot through the window, while she was at home. One hour later, the same sniper shot her elder son and killed him. Their house, which had served as a home for the Stone Theatre, was bulldozed together with many other homes in Jenin.
Jenin was the place for a Jewish onslaught on the Palestinians in 2002. Recently the Israeli court banned Jenin, Jenin, a film about these fateful events, but you still can find it on YouTube. Zakaria was a great fighter; he became the commander of Jenin’s Al Aqsa Brigade. He survived four assassination attempts by the Israelis: in 2004, they murdered five Palestinians, including a 14-year-old child, while targeting a vehicle suspected of carrying Zakaria. On another occasion they killed 9 Palestinians, but Zakaria escaped.
Zakaria became widely known and respected in the West Bank and even in Israel. He was befriended by Yasser Arafat; he supported the election of Mahmud Abbas, Arafat’s successor. An Israeli woman, Tali Fahima, came to Jenin to support Zakaria and serve as his human shield. Israel arrested her in 2004 and she spent three years in prison for ‘aiding a terrorist organization’. After her release, she converted to Islam having become totally disillusioned by the massive Jewish support for the bloody punitive actions against Palestinians. Zakaria, who spoke perfect Hebrew and had many Israeli friends, was also disappointed by the Israeli Jewish Left. None defended him during these terrible years, despite all the efforts of his late mother to build relations with Israelis.
However, the uprising was defeated. And Zakaria continued his struggle by other means, establishing, together with Juliano Mer, his childhood friend, a new and bigger theatre company, the Freedom Theatre of Jenin. It is still around, and even prospers, though Zakaria is now in jail, and Juliano Mer was killed by unknown assassins. In 2007, Zakaria accepted the amnesty offered by Israelis to the Fatah fighters, though by its conditions he couldn’t leave Jenin. He abided by the amnesty conditions, but it didn’t help him: a few years later, Israel rescinded the amnesty. In 2019, Zakaria was caught and sent to jail for life.
He would rot in jail like other prisoners, and every second Palestinian of his generation had been in an Israeli jail for some part of his life. But then, the audacious breakout brought his name back to our awareness. He returned hope into the hearts of the Palestinians and their friends, but alas, for a short time.
It happened exactly twenty years after 9/11, the event that empowered the Jews to smash Palestinian resistance. Nowadays, the Jews can do whatever they want with their captive goyim. People aren’t even allowed to object. At the recent Tokyo Olympic games, an Algerian judoka Fethi Nourine refused to pair with an Israeli sportsman, saying his support for the Palestinian cause made it impossible for him to compete against an Israeli. The International Judo Federation promptly suspended the brave Algerian for ten years.
In the discourse, the Jews possess an unassailable position, and whoever demurs finds himself jobless and castigated as a ‘bigot’. Every time I post an item about Palestine, Facebook’s Zuckerberg bans me for a week. Never was Jewish dominance so complete. Before 9/11, the right wing was traditionally anti-Jewish. Nowadays, the European and American nationalist Right accept the rules of the game. It’s hard to find a ‘fascist’ or ‘white nationalist’ who doesn’t worship Israel. The Jewish ‘left’ in Israel avidly supports the current Israeli Prime Minister Bennett who is as strong a Jewish chauvinist as has ever held this position; and Bennett says openly that Palestinians will never be free.
And we also have lost our freedom. Freedom to roam the land, freedom to have and voice our opinion. Freedom to refuse a dubious ‘medical’ treatment. What 9/11 started, Corona completed. We are all Palestinians now.
However, as I watched the stern Christ-like face of Zakaria Zubeidi in the courtroom, I thought that despite all efforts of the Synedrion, the suffering and crucified Christ came back to life. So will Palestine. So will the World. Resurrection is as inevitable as Death, and it beats Death.

My public support for an escaped Palestinian prisoner caused an outcry among Israelis. My crime? I called him a hero and said I understood why Palestinians resort to violent struggle.
Within an hour of my Facebook post about the character of Zakaria Zubeidi, one of six Palestinian prisoners who recently escaped from Gilboa prison and among the four subsequently recaptured, Facebook had banned me for three days for violating their “community guidelines”.
I wasn’t particularly surprised. I knew that many Israelis would promptly report it and get it wiped. That’s because I insist on seeing Zubeidi and his comrades as freedom fighters and not as terrorists. And I insist on providing the context for Zubeidi’s tragic, heroic path through life. –
Another excellent piece on Zubeidi by an Israeli peace activist.
Thank you so much for this story. It explains very well why I admire you and the Palestinians so much. I’m reposting this to my friends and family.
The escape shatters the illusion of state invincibility, hence the savage treatment on recapture. The Turkish state has murdered at least one “terrorist” prisoner who escaped, after recapturing him. Probably a common reflex of tyrants.
Why do you feel no compassion for the defenseless civilians murdered by assassins under Zakaria Zubeidi’s direct orders?
Their names must not be forgotten:
–David Peretz, 48, of Beit She’an
–Haim Amar, 56, of Beit She’an
–Shaul Zilberstein, 36, of Upper Nazareth
–Ehud (Yehuda) Avitan, 54, of Beit She’an
–Mordechai Avraham, 44, of Beit She’an
–Ya’acov Lary, 35, of Beit She’an
Let me remind you of the details. (1)
When will non-indegnous Muslims stop killing native Palestinian Jews? Every murder makes things worse for the Muslim occupiers.
Do you really think that laughing while cutting down the helpless generates sympathy?
The Muslim colonies in Judea & Samaria have failed. Trying to keep land stolen from Infidels has failed. Why not consider real solutions that might work?
PEACE 😇

Thank you for this searing account of Zubeidi’s life, all the more poignant for the stark prose you used.
Here it is in Arabic https://www.maannews.net/articles/2049826.html
totally agree – to be a real hero he’d have to have killed a lot more Zionists than that.
Israel reportedly used a remote-controlled gun to assassinate an Iranian scientist
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/israel-reportedly-used-a-remote-controlled-gun-to-assassinate-an-iranian-scientist/ar-AAOA5Xr?ocid=msedgntp
From the Palestinian point of view, this was an Inglourious Basterds’ attack on Gestapo headquarters.
This is one of the ways that Zionazistan ensures its ultimate destruction. It is breeding ever tougher, more heroic and more determined Palestinian Freedom Fighters. And the real global community’s loathing of the brutish racist Zionazis only grows and grows.
So true. The dots are really well connected here. Thank you Israel Shamir. Your explanatory weave is seamless. All our journalist and academic friends who refuse to report the well chronicled truth of 9/11 are the true anti-Semites with much Arab and Palestinian blood on their hands. The 9/11 Black Op really opened the way for a rapid-fire series of US Wars for Israel.
There are hundreds of millions of Arabs and seven million Israeli Jews. If Arabs cannot solve their own issues given how favorable the conditions are, I don’t think they deserve anyone’s sympathy. I am sure they have a long list of excuses, but again, so is any failure.
It [Israel] is breeding ever tougher, more heroic and more determined Palestinian Freedom Fighters.
Yup.
Israel carries out mass arrests of Palestinians after jailbreak
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-carries-out-mass-arrests-of-palestinians-after-jailbreak/ar-AAOB6tS?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531
How is it acceptable to the decrepit UN ( and all internat. world bodies) that Israel and its western partners in crimes are allowed to destroy not only Palestine but all surrounding Arab countries and societies just so Israel can survive and thrive???
“…Why do you feel no compassion for the defenseless civilians murdered by assassins under Zakaria Zubeidi’s direct orders..?”
Have you not read the article?
“…When will non-indegnous Muslims stop killing native Palestinian Jews? Every murder makes things worse for the Muslim occupiers…
The Muslim colonies in Judea & Samaria have failed. Trying to keep land stolen from Infidels has failed…”
Oh yes, the Muslims are “invaders” but the Jews are “natives”. If you think that much back in history, why not go back to the time of Joshua, when the invading Israelites genocided the native Canaanites and stole their land?
“…While individual Jews can be honest and honourable; as a collective they are extremely untrustworthy. It comes from a Jewish superiority complex, of a refusal to obey the rules established for lesser species; of feeling they can do whatever they find expedient. Fair play is not a Jewish idea at all…”
A very astute observation and confirmed by history. Not individual Jews are the problem, but organized Jewry is.
“Palestinian Jews”? Sounds like code for “settlers” which is code for invaders. I’m perfectly okay with this list of dead Jew invaders.
No, they were not defenceless. They were occupiers and part of a brutal occupation at that. Nobody in the illegal settlements has any protection under law either.
I wish that list were 10,000 longer.
Thank you for telling people the truth about the occupation of Palestine.
Well, I feel for you, poor Israelis, slaughtered mercilessly by that no good Palestinians! I’ll bet you the score has reached a thousand to one in your favor!
Great story shamir.
Why not mention the suicide bombings against Israelis in the same period to give your story some perspective.
Somehow I get the impression you do not like Israelis.
let’s take 2002 the year you converted
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover_massacre
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_attacks
That sums up 2021. It is a world-wide tragedy. Never in history of the world has the entire world been enchained like this.
We (the entire world) are all in chains. Yes, we all are Palestinians in 2021. We can’t travel, eat in restaurants, go to museums or any events without “papers”.
Palestinians Part I were the canaries in the coal mine. We ( the entire world) are Palestinians Part II. We (Palestinians Part II) are getting the same treatment as Palestinians Part I.

Perhaps the best piece of writing I’ve seen from Israel Shamir, especially the understated nuance behind the story which is really about his own transformation.
Everyone in America should read this.
Unfair. He did what he could with very limited means.
This is Israel Shamir at his best. With one article he summarizes not only the injustices that Palestinians have to go through their whole lives, but how 9/11 gave the Zionists cover to continue their genocidal policies. A must read. Excellent.
Shamir says:
‘While individual Jews can be honest and honourable; as a collective they are extremely untrustworthy. It comes from a Jewish superiority complex, of a refusal to obey the rules established for lesser species; of feeling they can do whatever they find expedient. Fair play is not a Jewish idea at all…”
and Rickaert comments:
“Not individual Jews are the problem, but organized Jewry is.”
The existence of honest and honorable Jews is unavailing and largely irrelevant to the Palestinians or to any nation bearing the brunt of Jewish depredations. Individual Jews act collectively, and this highly organized “community” expresses the ruthless and hostile will of the overwhelming majority.
If you cup your hand and lift a handful of water from the deep blue ocean it will be colorless, transparent, limpid. That’s your “honest and honorable” right there.
Thank you for this amazingly inspiring article. Long live Palestine: shame on Israelis for being complicit in their government’s crimes.
“Why not consider real solutions that might work?”
Like massive relocation to Birobidzhan?
The Israeli state is a criminal enterprise. Something is seriously messed up with the people.
“While individual Jews can be honest and honourable; as a collective they are extremely untrustworthy.”
The above mentioned sentiment explains the following:
“Zakaria, who spoke perfect Hebrew and had many Israeli friends, was also disappointed by the Israeli Jewish Left. None defended him during these terrible years, despite all the efforts of his late mother to build relations with Israelis.”
It’s Cain and Abel all over again and one of them will end up forfeiting their right (hopefully, not their lives en masse) and since money governs more than morals, I am afraid, the Palestinians will lose. It’s a sad story!
My oldest son is the same age as Zakaria Zubeidi.
Next week. while Zakaria endures Jewish imprisonment, my son will take his young child on a scavenger hunt in the autumn woods.
What will I do?
What will Americans, sponsors and cheerleaders for Zubeidi’s torturers, do?
———
nb. Times of Israel posted article about the capture.
Here’s a screen shot of two comments:
“It’s hard to find a ‘fascist’ or ‘white nationalist’ who doesn’t worship Israel.”
It’s not Israel or Israelis they’re worshipping but the very phallic symbol that’s money, because it’s controlled by Jews.
Hate, and I mean a pure, burning hate, can drive a man to do extraordinary things. The Israelis should know this better than anyone. 75 years after the WW2 they are still looking under every bed for German persecutors. The hunters are of course people who were never in a concentration camp themselves but they hate, or have some sort of hate propagandised and drilled into them.
What about the people who have experienced brutality themselves, personally, and hate. Theirs is a hate born of direct discrimination. Worse still, they instil this into their children and grandchildren, just like the Jews do. The only difference is that Israeli kids can check out their torment via film. Palestinian children get to check out their own torment every single day, personally !
If history is anything to go by, the Jews will tell you that they will never forget and their tormentors will be pursued to the ends of the earth and end of time.
Do they believe they have cornered the market on hate and revenge ? Or do they in their arrogance believe only they can exact retribution and like the superior race they claim to be they will escape payback ? Its a remarkable stance, naive in the extreme.
The people who claim to be victims victimize others doling out worse than they received themselves. God help Israel when the worm turns. History has shown time and time again that “every dog has his day”.
A beautifully written moving piece. I have had my reservations about articles where I suspect you are claiming positive knowledge beyond what you truly know, but not here.

There is one thing we have learned from Beirut, USS Liberty, 9/11 etc., is that any attack on the USA , Europe or Israel , should be assumed that the Israeli intelligence had something to do with it or knew of it and just watched. Yes , Do say a prayer or light a candle , for all the folks dead from Terrorism – Jews, Americans, Europeans , Mid Easterners, and the rest in the world but stop with the stupidity about retaliations , which are part of the game.. The Zionists are liars, thieves and murderers and will do Anything to advance their world order.
The article was about a simple Palestinian man’s life that was terribly wronged, by manipulating the British Empire, the USA, and the rest of the whores that were easily bought and paid for by the Jews – in the beginning. Since then it has gotten worse and only an idiot would not see the whole picture.
PS – the World has No F…n idea who, what or where to find a real Israeli , but it’s looking like there will never be one found. Everything is illuminescent.
Thank you, Israel Shamir, for describing the inhuman cruelty visited on Palestinians in their own country. There are ways to donate for any so inclined. The link below is one which I have been told is trustworthy, and hoping this is indeed true.

Thank You Israel for this beautiful article. I had no idea how predatory the IDF is upon Palestinian civilians. It is truly nauseating.
After my baptism in 2000, I would spend the Jewish sabbath in Jerusalem (my only day off from work as a low level unarmed security guard, working with very discontent Russian and Ethiopian Jewish immigrants) sitting in the Orthodox section of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and then going to an internet cafe in either the Christian or Muslim quarters of the Old City. I instinctively avoided the Western Wall area and the Jewish quarter. I couldn’t stand the arrogance and smugness of these Jews wallowing in money and privilege and praying to an ugly stone wall that was erected by Herod, the Edomite usurper of David’s Throne.
One day I watched the Mel Gibson film THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST on a pirated dvd I obtained from a Palestinian video store, necessitated because the Israeli government (“the only democracy in the Middle East”) banned this powerful movie. The scene was comical, because I was sitting in an internet cafe in the new part of Jerusalem, watching the dvd on an internet computer, surrounded by black clothed ultra Orthodox youths who were ogling internet porn on the nearby computers. Not one of them noticed Christ’s suffering so vividly portrayed right next to them!
I increasingly think that Orwell’s depiction of a future of brutality where a boot smashes into the face of humanity refers to the terror reign of Jewish Power. I’m not sure Orwell intended it this way, but it seems apt. What disgusts me even more than occupation and brutalization of the Palestinians is the way the Israelis gloat over their suffering and humiliation. It’s an incredibly cruel and satanic attitude: to rejoice in the degradation suffering and misery of others, especially when you inflict it upon them yourself.
Your article reinforces the sense of despair I feel most of the time, even far away in Colorado, the state of eco-yuppie outdoors sports flakes, so I cling to your final paragraph for a faint sense of hope:
Even if we disregard false ideology, the Biden administration cannot be more erratic.
For too many years I admired and supported the state of Israel and Jews in general. Until the internet exposed the decades of lies I had been told.
I had no idea of how evil and vile the state of Isreal and in general the Jewish people are. Murder and war I had supported by taxes and by my government have made me sick with rage.
I will never forgive Israel, my government and Jews in general for their lies.
Man I was gone for only a few weeks (overseas travel) and you sneaked in feeling free and then started vomiting all over. Well as a favor to others.
So how have you been? Any new land grab from helpless and caged Palestinians?
How is family and little Talmudist or future Holocaust survivors.
Compare treatment of Palestinians by democratic country Israel with the occupation of France by Nazis. Just watch the bad German army’s treatment of French:
http://www.renegadetribune.com/france-under-german-occupation-vs-jewish-occupation/
BTW. You failed to answer one of my questions about your hero Eli Weizel appearing in the West while imprisoned in famous killing center Auschwitz which was liberated by the Soviets and not by the Allies.
The Soviet archives show volumes of listing of dead in Auschwitz. Anti Semite Russians……
While Auschwitz entrance placard has lowered the dead to 1.1 million but the magic 6 million still remain. I suppose Talmudist forgot their math skills or waiting OK from Rabbi.
One Rabbi argued with God. The Rabbi won the argument and God lost. I am making it up. Check Talmud. I will furnish the reference if you are interested.
In future I am going to teach a few things from Talmud which you are shy to learn.
Take the word peace from your emoji.
Occupation Armies tasked with brutalizing a foreign population that is sullen etc; will always AlWAYS lose its ability to prevail against trained fighters. It’s corrosive to military ethos and ultimately leads to defeat. One example is the 2006 failure to invade Lebanon. 15 years later, it’s likely the IDF is even in worse condition.
A fictional account of this phenomenon can be found in Steinbeck’s ‘The Moon is Down’
Arab terrorists don’t impress me any more than jewish terrorists. They deserve each other.
Many Americans, especially those belonging to the brainwashed Christian Zionist gang, numbering in the millions, will simply dismiss these self evident truths as propaganda and label Shamir a terrorist lover and a self hating Jew. This is how efficiently religion is being employed to such great effect in thought control and passively accepting crimes committed in the people’s name. America is effectively ruled by criminals directed by their Jewish puppeteers.
You would quickly understand if I gave you private lessons with a baseball bat in your home
I arrive, and I tell you: -this house is mine
We, a group of Russians and Poles, enthusiastic readers of Don Quixote de la Mancha, have a special sentimental attachment to the land of “La Mancha”
We, Argentine Catholics, claim the lands that belonged to the Pope of Rome, and that is why we are going to unleash the Terror on the Italians as the Great Rag Doll in the hands of Aramean ventriloquists commands us
And you would say with surprise and bewilderment: -You are completely crazy
And just as you say, I begin to beat you to found on solid foundations “our colonial project” (Jabotinsky)
This fight is akin to a fight between a mongoose and a snake. Only nature has the answer if it can ever be resolved.
I agree with Shamir’s statement that Jews think others are inferior. However most Jew haters leave out the fact that all Muslims consider others the same way. Ask a veteran of Desert Storm what the Kuwaitis thought of Americans. They considered us to be lower than dogs and treated us that way whenever they could. Two groups in the Middle East that have a superiority complex and want to fight each other to the death. Americans should just stay out of it and let them kill each other. There will be peace in the Middle East when most of them are dead. I don’t hate either side but I see no reason to send our money or our young people over there to die.
The Palestinian people are often on my mind.
Their destiny is shared by many of us here.
We pray that they will be delivered from suppression.
And praise the beacon in the dark, excellent writer.
May this rod of lightning prepare.
Together with un-covid action.
A formidable wave, a conciousness super-wave.
That will cleanse the earth from ”Reset-Opportunists”.
And resilient reptiles.
Sustainable usury.
Improving the skies.
Hollowing out the value.
Improving just about everything.
Domine veni.
Jesus Christus, come!
thank you for this crucial update. i’ve been watching for news, your report is a brilliant statement to be presented in the war crimes tribunal. if like assange you can manage as craig used to provide updates without ending up like craig yet another political prisoner the world will be better for it. stay safe & blessing be upon you.
Right you are. The “chosenness” in Islam is 100x more than any the Jews have. You see rag tag idiot Somalis here in the US? They think they are far superior to you, because they are Muslim and you are infidel. aka a Dirty Kuffar.
Anyways, Zakaria Zubeidi is a pos psycho-killer. He is lucky the Izzies do not have the death penalty. At Wikipedia I can see that ZZ is responsible for the deaths of 6 Israelis.
Israelis truly are a benelovnet and generous people, he is lucky indeed.
Yes, migrants coming to the USA should follow the example of the Zionist migrants who came to the land of Canaan: arm themselves and unleash Terror on the local population or at least make them political irrelevant
Who cares about these third-world savages? And I include the Jews in that. They are no different from their enemies. They are all beneath contempt.
The problem is that we give aid to the (((Cuckoos in the Nest))). We collaborate with Jewish parasites and give them power over us and others.
That needs to end. We need to dispossess our domestic Jews and eject them from our White countries. We need to totally cut off ALL aid of ALL kinds to the Jews currently stealing an entire Arab country.
Let them sink or swim totally on their own. That won’t last long. (((Parasites))) die when deprived of their hosts.
While we’re at it we need to end ALL aid to Africa.
While we’re at it we need to eject ALL third-world savages from White countries and let no more in.
Otherwise White people, and civilization, are doomed.
If you believe that 6 dead jews is license to kill and maim thousands of Palestinians your twisted. As for peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis, they are worth the time. The word of Israel is worthless.
Thanks. It feels hopeless.
Again, you twist history. The jews have out nazied Hitler.
Yes. And Lenin who traveled from Zurich had support or at least blessing from german chancellor during that time possibly to undermine the Tsar. What’s more is the support from bankers. One can say this so called revolution wasnt that red. Some Jews went to US and went neocon. Joke is even today many leftist who clamps down on “capitalism” mainly seem to have issues with bourgoise enterprise but not the “roll up your sleeves” corporatist type.
Thanks for for posting this link, for your humanity and noble soul.
Islam and many religions may state things such you mentioned but it does not effect us at all in the west. Jewish religious groupthink in western MSM effects all of us every second of the day in the west.

Look at Facebook or any western MSM, it is Jewish groupthink censorship 24/7. It is relentless. It is nice to have a respite from that totalitarian nonsense here at Unz.
What Israel Shamir mentions in this article is unknown to anyone who reads Jewish led western MSM. It should be more well known. No religious/ethnic groupthink should be dominating us all 24/7. It has gone on too long, at least since 12.23.1913. Humanity is yearning to be free of totalitarian Jewish religious groupthink enforcement. No religious/ethnic group should have such total power over what humanity hears, reads or speaks.
In Arab countries they would’ve treated him worse
“…Also spelled ‘kafir’ or ‘kaffir’, Kuffar is a highly derogatory Arabic term used to refer to non-Muslims…”
Kuffar is the plural of kafir.
Things like this listed below can not be topped anywhere in world. What has been happening in Israel since 1948 is a very low level, the lowest level for a sentient being.
Rwandan genocide is up there. The US is starving Syria and Yemen as I type, Venezuela and North Korea too. Some, or a lot, of that is for Israel, but it’s bad.
I fear humans can get like that too easily, but the only Muslim groups that bad currently are ISIS, al Qaeda, some of the Kurds. All of them seem to be allies of Israel.
we really are all Palestinians now.
CHRISTIAN IDOLATERS?
According to the Noahide Laws, Christians who worship Jesus Christ are guilty of idolatry.
The Noachides & Rome’s Chief Rabbi, Riccardo Di Segni
The consequence is that, according to the literal opinion, the Christian would not be on the path of salvation’ since he is guilty of idolatry…
“Di Segni concludes: ‘If one must literally apply the Noachide system of laws, it [the punishment of death] would be applied to all, so that the Noachides might observe it. Likewise, the punishment of death would apply to what treats forbidding the worship of strange gods,’ in view of monotheism.”
Source: “The Noachides and Rome’s Chief Rabbi, Riccardo Di Segni,” Father Francesco Ricossa, Sodalitium, French Edition, No. 53, July, 2002, translated by Suzanne M. Rini, Trans Et Alia, Vol. 3, Nowa 3, Sept. 2002.
The Chief Rabbi of Rome was putting the Roman Catholic hierarchy on notice that the Jewish elite, which even now controls the world from behind the scenes, will soon have legal authority to prosecute and execute Christians for the crime of idolatry. According to the Sodalitium article, not one of the Vatican prelates protested the agenda of the Jews: “Today, the unthinkable has been realized. But the Cardinals present at the lecture of…Rabbi Di Segni, keep silent.” Nor did the prelates question the Jewish power in a court of law.

Kingdom of Israel: Extremist Rabbis Dream of Jewish Monarchy, With a Special Role for Non-Jews
Regarding non-Jews who do not observe the Seven Laws of Noah, they add that the Rambam says gentiles we conquer become like slaves to us; it is permissible not to return a loan to a gentile, since the failure to involve them in decisions amounts to less than expropriating a loan as it does not involve financial loss.
According to WikiNoah. a United Noachide Council is training Yeshiva students from every country to be Noachide Judges:
United Noachide Council
COURTS OF JUSTICE FOR NOAHIDES (GENTILES)
The Orthodox Jewish yeshivas are also teaching Christians. This is a trap for Zionist and Messianic Christians. They will not be learning the Torah but the oral traditions of the Rabbis, and Jewish magic from the Talmud, and the Kabbalah, which is Jewish mysticism and the Soul of Judaism.

“Many American Jews would be surprised how many Israelis hold them in contempt – unless…they do the Zionist thing, move over to Israel and pass our ritual of passage, service in the IDF. Those who do that are considered heroes – people who have left the soft Diaspora behind and joined Israelis in their increasingly bitter quest for revenge on history.”

Btw Sept 17 & October 2, 1981, over 300 people were killed in a series of car bombs in Lebanon
The worst terror bombing campaign on record began Sept. 17, 40 years ago, but it drew little attention, because the #Israelis carried it out, under the direction of then defense minister Ariel Sharon. Should have been clear it was #Israeliterrorism, but media showed no interest.
And the treatment meted out to the Palestinians for seventy years, ie murder, torture, destruction, dispossession, abuse etc, is PRECISELY what the Judaic and Zionazi death-cults propose, in the fullness of time, for all goyim who get in their way. That this pitiless Evil paints itself as moral perfection is sickening.
Tut, tut, Robijil. Did you not get the message? Jews are not mere ‘sentient beings’, but ‘Gods Upon the Earth’. Killing is their one true religion.
Wazoo-the Talmudist formula is that ALL the Arabs, Palestinians, goyim, whatever, are not worth a Jewish finger-nail. Oft repeated.

I make a monthly donation to the Ramallah Friends School.
https://www.rfs.edu.ps/
I believe it is channeled via the American Friends Service Committee–not sure because it is automatic, and I set it up a couple of years ago.
Here is their giving page:

I reckoned that support of this school (I think Hanan Ashwari is a graduate) might be the best way I could “leverage” a small monthly donation to help all Palestinians.

In my view, Linh Dinh and Israel Shamir are the very best writers at this webzine. This article is another masterpiece of the latter. It is a great service to the more humane elements of humanity. The intellect and compassion for humanity that permeates the work of these two fine writers is what distinguishes both from other writers of this or any other popular webzine today.
There is a remarkable movie version of the Zakaria story presented in this article (as well as from other sources referenced in the article) that is screaming to be made. Its protagonist (Zakaria and his unfortunate cohorts) puts to shame the vapid comic book woke super-hero commodity movies being rubber-stamped into existence today. There are so many existential questions that can and should be examined publicly in such a film creation. If done well, it would have almost universal appeal for audiences today…except perhaps for some portion (large or small I cannot say) of the Israeli population. The question is, who would fund such a film? Since such financing power lies mostly in the hands of committed zionists and their fellow-traveling goyim, the obstacles to making the film would be formidable. It’s even doubtful the powers that be would countenance fund-raising efforts on crowd-source websites. That’s most unfortunate…for humanity. The current powers that be seemed hell-bent on starving humanity into submission to their will by depriving it of all spiritual and psychological nourishment…until we’re fit for nothing else except to be inserted as the human component of a human-machine hybrid system program. For these zionist powers, something like a Zakaria movie would be food too rich for humanity. They’d much rather substitute such satisfying sustenance with something like the meal-worm that the comic book woke super-hero movies provide.
The Jewish elites in the West have ruthlessly sought power, as ever in their 3500 years of existence, and succeeded extraordinarily through bribery, nepotism, entryism, and where necessary, character assassination (eg Corbyn) or liquidation of those who ‘..get in our way’. The same old story. How could it end other than the way it has hundreds of times before-a ferocious reaction, pogroms, massacres, expropriations (ie restitutions)and expulsions? Not with nukes and bio-weapons it doesn’t, this time.
Brilliant, Israel!
Shamir is one of the handful of brave people alive. God Bless him and may he live a long healthy life.
Luke 10
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

Israeli troops kill Palestinian in occupied West Bank

I will never cease to be amazed by the bravery and maturity of that young girl in ” jenin, jenin” among the rubble. She must be in her 20s now and wonder what became of her. That is someone who inspired me enough I’d have gladly paid her uni tuition (although all western unis are cancerous now).
I fear she’s no longer alive as the Zionist entity could never allow someone who showed that much courage at that age to grow into a leader. Compare that girl at 8 or 9 to our Western women with their ” pussy hats” and hand maiden’s tale” outfits. Were I to ever marry again, I’d want to find a woman who has that kind of character and strength. Although the Hadid girls prove that within one generation they forget their roots.
I knew a former American spec ops guy who became a contractor and married an Iraqi woman and brought her here ( he had to convert to Shia Islam there to avoid a major scene) just because, compared to our fat, selfished, spoiled, grotesque women, the character and family- oriented nature of muslimas is immensely appealing.
I call bullshit on that entire story of ” remote control sniper rifle” and ” AI” to kill that scientist. If the Zionists had such technology, why reveal it?
Highly suspect it was a planted story to throw the persians off the trail of the scurvy traitor in the ranks and an attempt to frighten hezbollah/ Assad.
Does anyone know the name of the young girl in ” jenin, jenin” who was atop the rubble of her camp and so proud and defiant talking about Sharon, the butcher of Sabra and Shatila ( if you don’t know the story of what the Jews did there, find a good source on it and you’ll never again wonder why pogroms were an integral part of life in Eastern Europe).
I have the utmost respect for the very few like mr. Shamir and Ron zunz who had the moral fibre to both step away from that satanic death cult and try to expose it.
Back to my original question, that girl from the beginning of ” jenin, jenin” would be about 30 now. I wonder if she used talent to become an advocate for her people or if the Jews murderer her. Israelis truly are a satanic group.
I couldn’t find the name of the soulful little heroine ; she was featured in a documentary about the Jenin massacre made in 2003-2004. Here she is:

Another Palestinian heroine:
And another one:

Such are the offspring of an elite people with an ancient civilisational value system: strong, soulful, spiritual, and brave beyond any measure.
For all the harm that was done to them by Israel, with full support and complicity from the US and the West, the Palestinian people will prevail and will take back their land.
The clock is ticking for Israel, whose existence will only last as long as the illusion of the US’ geopolitical supremacy persists, five years, ten years maximum.
Again in this article it becomes clear that Shamir is not a vulgarian brutalist like all other contemporary journalists, and not cheap like the rest, or a snake, or a whore, but journalism becomes a higher art in his hands. Journalism becomes again what it should be, reports with soul.
Rest easy: it may have required a ‘scurvy traitor’ to set up the robot.
Are there not reasons that Palestinians fight back?
Were I ever to have daughter, I pray that she would have 1/10th the grace, poise, and courage of that little girl. Here in the west the media make “heroes” out of misguided pawns like Greta Thunberg while girls like this are of course ignored since she is fighting against ZOG.
And yes, the Zionist, satanic free masons can lie, murder,torture, rape but even in a few short minutes of video you can see that this girl and others in the video have an almost ethereal kind of courage and grace.
That one little girl seems– without exaggeration– to have the courage of an Alexander or Julius Ceaser, In the ZOG, our billionaire class pours money into fraudulent garbage like BLM, while at the same time managing to ignore the strength and fearlessness of children like this,
I really hope she made it to adulthood without being murdered by the Satanic Zionists.
Speaking of Palestinian heroines, you don’t happen to know the name of that Palestinian girl with blondish, curly hair and blue eyes whom the Jews used to call “Shirley Templar” due to her semi-Nordic appearance a d her openly confronting the Zionists?
She was in her early 20s I think and constantly being arrested and put into solitary confinement by the Zionist demons. Still never ceases to amaze me how the judenpresse will ignoreP the stories of girls like that fighting genuine talmudic, satan-possessed demons a d hold up great thunberg as an icon when some of these Palestinians ( and even Western volunteers like Rachel Corrie) literally face down and get run over by jew tanks– paid for with US taxes of course.
The teenage Palestinian you mentioned, who confronted the Israeli army with her bare hands and inflexible patriotism is Ahed Tamimi.
She protested her 15-year old cousin being shot in the head, at close range, by the putrid sub-human filth called IDF, and was condemned to 8 month in prison, aged 17.

Ahed is a modest and much dignified young girl, although she receives much praise and honours from supporters of the Palestinian cause worldwide.

Rachel Corrie was deliberately crushed to death by an IDF armoured bulldozer , aged only 23.
She belonged to the exceptional elite within humankind who makes up saints and martyrs. Elite people recognise elite individuals: Rachel’s life and sacrifice are commemorated every year in Gaza by a youth football tournament named after her. She will never be forgotten.

https://www.palestinechronicle.com/gaza-remembers-rachel-corrie-in-a-football-tournament/
Thank you for reminding me of those names. There was going to be a. Off-Broadway play years ago titled ” My Name Is Rachel Corrie,” about her short life and brutal murder at the hands of these blood-sucking parasites. Not.suprisingly, a few days before its opening the spawns of satan managed to get it cancelled.
Will never cease to amaze me how all these crowds in BLM never stop to ask themselves why the “leaders” of such movements never dare to mention Palestine a scythe and the christ jew and then end up with real estate portfolios worth tens of millions of dollars.
Even if every insane holyco$t claim of the Jews were true (“gas ovens, mastubation machines, etc…) were true, it would be worth another of ” much milion” Jews going through it all again just to give that one little girl from “jenin, jeni ” a dignified life of opportunity.
This is a bit off topic and they may delete this, but ever since the entire Epstein thing (and I think even Mr. Shamir has written about this) I’ve become more a d more interested and convinced that Jewish Ritual Murder does indeed take place and that those who wrote about it– from little Hugh of Lincoln to Simon of Trent– knew what their society had witnessed and wrote about it faithfully.
For Christ”s sake, Epstein had a literal temple on his private island for Jewish ritual rape and molestation of underage ” shiksa” girls. To the best of my knowledge, the FBI has refused to dig on that island or use ground penetrating radar to search for bodies.
I would be willing to bet a substantial amount that a meticulous search of that island would turn up the bodies of girls who had been tortured to death– historically, certain sects perform these human sacrifices near the time of purim.
To be clear, not suggesting that your average jew dentist down the street is engaged in such things– but I AM suggesting that a small amount of Jews– carrying out some obscure, hate-filled ritual from the Talmud– could very well still be carrying out this rituals.
Why hasn’t Wexner been arrested? Why haven’t they investigated missing girls from the greater Palm Beach area and then gone and dug up that island looking for human remain?
My God, we as a society are sick unto death. And we are literally one crash away from true Weimar territory and people whoring out their prepubescent children for food. Whenever anyone asks you about ” the nazis,” change the subject and bring up the Weimar sewer that gave birth to the NSDAP with its child sex-change operations, drag queens, child whores, etc… we are headed directly ( and in some respects have already surpassed) the Weimar Telublic in many respects.
