To Kill an American!
Written by Haitham Sabbah on 26. November 2007, 2224hrs // Part of Haitham Sabbah's adventure in Religion, USA, Video, Zionism // Other posts by Haitham Sabbah
I got the link to this video today from the infamous Zionist propaganda called giyus(dot)com.
Of course they are distributing it for an evil reason. Watching them since inception (during Zionist war on Lebanon last year), they have never spread anything of good use, but only spread hate and being a warmongers who miss no opportunity but to spread more lies. These days their concentration is on Iran and they are doing a massive job to spread their poison, pushing for an American war on Iran. Yes, not them, but Uncle Sam to send his kids to die for Israel.
You can find out yourself the venomous job they are doing by subscribing to their alerts.
Back to this video. To surprise the Hasbara, I like it. In fact I encourage everyone to rate it high and spread it. Why? Because we LOVE Americans. It is important that we stress on this fact. No body hate Americans, but we hate their hypocritical politicians and their policy towards Arabs and Muslims (and many other nations and religions).
Don’t let Zionists and their Hasbara propaganda blind you. No body wants to kill Americans except Zionist and their Lobby.
Regards to all my American friends who know what I’m talking about and knows that we don’t hate Americans.
Here is the video:

No we dont want to kill Americans, and so does the average Israeli citizen.
Lets hope that Annapolis brings some peace to this region.

Think like an adult.
Such articles as this serve no purpose but to further the division between us normal people in the United States and the Middle East.
I challenge you to post some news on this blog of what America is really like and believes, not just news from Washington, New York and LA. MENA blog after MENA blog implies that America consists of NYC, DC and LA and is composed of rich Anglos, Jews and a few angry black people. This is an inaccurate reflection of who (and what) we are and does nothing but anger all parties.
Let me give you some stats on how often the majority of us red state Americans think about Israel: 0.0005%. Believe it or not, most of the other 300 million + Americans actually LIKE (or ARE) Middle Eastern people and will judge people on their individual qualities, not the color of skin. Additionally, we share many of the same beliefs (family, God, tradition), as does most of the friggin world.
Now, is the world perfect? NO. Are there idiots in power that wish you, me, others harm, so they can expand their power? YES. The first step toward a solution is to NOT enable their power by buying into the us -vs- them mentality. This is classic groupthink tactics that enrich a few at the expense of the masses.
So, I challenge each of you readers. Before you write another word of America this, Zionism that, American occupation, etc…, get on a plane, come visit us in the middle of America (yes, the airport security is no fun), THEN make your own decision. After all, its easy to demonize a faceless entity (those Americans) then it is to realize we are all human and share many values. I know such non-controversial actions don’t bring eyeballs and advertisers, but fostering division between people will only entrench the power base of those that cause the hatred in the first place.

Good video, thanks for sharing!

Darius,
Let’s see who wants to division between Americans and rest of the world and who is spreading hate?
If searched YouTube you will find two incident of this video before I published it again. The first one reads:
The second one was published by the Zionist propaganda tool and it reads:
Any similarity between the two? I guess it is obvious. Maybe both are done by the same guy.
Now, What I posted over YouTube was:
It is very obvious that the first and second videos were posted to serve no purpose but to further the division between ‘you’ normal people in the United States and the Middle East. Open your eyes and know your enemy, Darius. Unless you are the enemy of yourself (i.e. another Zionist)! In this case I can’t help you.

Ill give the video a miss, i take your word haitham . but i do not want to watch any sickening zionist propaganda
I do not hate Americans , in fact i have many US cyberfriends who support the Palestinian cause , and shame me because they seem to know a lot more about the issue . I hate the US foreign policy , the double standards and the Blind Biased support to the zionists , who control the whitehouse anyway .
November 27th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
darius
Im sorry but a large number of Americans do not get the full picture about the Middle east and side with israel whatever is the issue , and do not know about how the Palestinians suffer . why ?, because many in the Media are zionists at heart and will only paint israel as the victim as the weak and vulnerable . many have no idea what is really going on , and many have never heard of Amy goodman democracy now program not watched Noam Chomsky videos , but trust fox news and what the zionist owned media tells them. i wish they knew the truth . I do not blame Americans i blame the media and those who are controlled by the zionists in the whitehouse and congress .

Think like a reader with good comprehension.
Such articles as this serve the purpose to let the world know that firstly, as stated, the poster (in this case Sabbah) LIKED the video as stated and no one LIKES something unless they agree with it.
I challenge one posting here (Darius) that this video posted here as well as the MANY American commentors here are proof positive that the blog owner is well aware that America does not just consist of “New York, DC and LA, rich anglos, Jews and a few angry blacks”. I also posit that the other Arab/Muslim readers/commenters are EDUCATED and know the difference between the government policy which is understandably decried and the American people, because AGAIN, as stated, Arabs and Muslims do NOT hate Americans-they hate our country’s foreign policy of which they are the victims.
Let me give you some statistics, that unless you know them and WORK to overcome them (either by activism or CAREFUL voting), then you are complicit. Read http://www.ifamericansknew.org/
Now is the world perfect? NO. Is the Arab/Muslim world (the masses, not the wealthy) the victims of US foreign policy? YES. Just look at the current status in Iraq, last year’s Israeli mass bombing of Lebanon which was SANCTIONED and SUPPLIED by the US, and the inhumane occupation of the Palestinian people which AGAIN has been sanctioned and supplied by the US.
YET-I challenge all readers (and Darius in particular) to get on a plane and go LIVE in the Middle East. Visit a Palestinian refugee camp, they will WELCOME you, invite you in and more than likely offer you to stay with them because this is THEIR CULTURE. Then mix it up a bit,go to other countries in the area, heck, why not try Iraq and see what it’s like there with the American occupation, one million dead, four million refugees. If the same were going on here and the shoe were on the other foot, I am SURE Darius would welcome them in to his home and I am SURE he would NEVER be inclined to be angry!
You see-as someone who HAS lived in the Middle East, who lived in a Muslim family and having been accepted LOVINGLY by both them and ALL whom I came in contact with I KNOW Arabs/Muslims in the Middle East do NOT hate Americans-they RIGHTFULLY hate our policies because they are paying the price of those policies. Given the length and severity of those policies it is no surprise that SOME have become extremists-this is NOT to condone this-I decry ALL violence-it is just to state a HUMAN fact. (read “Blowback” by Chalmers Johnson) Try living somewhere in the Middle East with Israeli planes buzzing by at eye level threatening your very existence and see if YOU think this is AOK, planes SUPPLIED to them by the US.
It is “easy” to demonize all those Arabs/Muslims who are only wanting their OWN sovereignty and human dignity to be recognized. I know such ideas are CONTROVERSIAL, but offering the invitation to come to America to “visit” to those who are LIVING in a place at our mercy, is an invitation cloaked in a superiority complex. Instead, I challenge EVERYONE who has not lived in or visited the Middle East to do so. Get out of your hotels and go meet the people. You will be more than pleasantly surprised.

Fatima,
Thank you for taking my words. As you have seen, the video is very nice, but the Zionist Hasbara propaganda used it in different context to spread fear and hate. They are just doing their job.
Robin,
Bless you

Well said.
Calling anyone who criticizes US foreign policy or the invasion of Iraq Anti-American is a right-wing propoganda ploy. Their tag-line is: Are you with us or with the terrorists ? Moreover another variation of the same trick is used on Americans who criticize the war. They get called unpatriotic. This tactic was very popular immediately after 9-11. Another ploy is to call them anti-military which would immediately put any American politician on the deffensive since it can be career-ending if it sticks.
The same trick has been used by Israel for years now, where anyone who criticizes Israel or the occupation is immediately labeled an anti-semite which implies racism, and through media saturation about the holocaust immediately brings up negative images. Funny word to use because Arabs are semites too.
November 28th, 2007 at 4:55 am
What a great Vid, Haitham! I like the person who said America is an idea and if you believe in that idea you’re an American too.
Unfortunately, some people who call themselves Americans really don’t believe in the idea. They believe in Israel first. And they believe in using the power of the United States to maintain an apartheid state that any real American would die before they would live in such a country as Israel let alone support the racism that it represents.
Darius, unfortunately, is an example of someone who just doesn’t get what the U.S. Government is doing in his name. Darius believes, like most Americans, that because everyone he knows is a good person than there is no difference between his friends and U.S. foreign policy. Well that’s just wrong. It’s not Darius’ fault. There are so many layers of bull* being layed down by the Zionist media, it’s no wonder Americans don’t know what is going down.
Darius, Please watch Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land. It’s a bit long, but it documents exactly how the Zionist media portrays Israel as the victim in all of this and never questions the U.S. role in the genocide that has been taking place in Palestine for the last 60 years.
Haitham is 100% correct. It’s the Zionists who are trying to get Americans killed, and they are succeeding as long as this charade called the global war on terror is used to cover up the real facts from ordinary Americans.
November 28th, 2007 at 12:11 pm
wow , robin , Bravo for such an excellent reply , bless you . You said it all . im so proud of you .
Im sure that Palestinian in refugiee camps with a miserable lifestyle will be more than happy to welcome darius among them , and im sure they wont blame him for their misery but blame those who support the occupation and those who supply the US dollars, who support the settlments and the Catterpillar bulldozers which flatten their homes and their olive trees daily .
Im sure if Darius visited a refugiee camp in Sabra and shattila , Ain el Hilweh or rafah refugiee camp and saw what they go through in one single day he will be a changed man .
Rachel Corrie became a Martyr for the Palestinian cause just after reading about the palestinian cause with pictures that broke her heart .

Wow, I want to go to this country, what is this place? My country is currently a police state. My country incarcerates 25% of the world’s prisoners yet accounts for only 5% of the world’s population. My state within this country boasts the second highest percentage of wrongly convicted people in its prisons; the highest percentage of over classified prisoners which means they are in higher security facilities (read: the guards are even more brutal and highly paid) than they require; has the highest percentage of suicide in DYS as well as in adult prisons nationwide. My country’s three branches of government are occupied by a foreign power whose interests are not with my country’s people, and our people of color are treated like second, third and fourth class citizens across the land.
There is very little tolerance for difference in my country although laws exist on the books that would have you believe such intolerance is not acceptable but it’s quite difficult to fight hatred and intolerance in my country unless to do so would somehow suit our occupiers or perhaps serve as a distracter while they continue their complete control of this land. My country has signed laws that allowed most of our skilled and well paying jobs to be outsourced overseas to third world countries’ sweatshops so its corporations can increase their profit margins. In my country, healthcare and education are not afforded by all and many go without both. My country has turned black to white, up to down, left to right by labeling decent countries terrorists and terrorist countries decent. I could write all day about the injustices that occur in my neighborhood towards poor people and those who are not of European descent, not to mention the violence, drug, and alcohol abuse within mainly the poorer communities of color because of the systemic (Zionist) goal of infusing guns, drugs and alcohol into these neighborhoods to feed their lucrative industries. My country is also STILL forcing the relocation of its native people whenever it discovers valuable resources within that land, and these native people are still living in extreme poverty with up to 90% unemployment. My country also rounded up over 1000 people of Arab, Muslim and South Asian decent after the Zionist occupiers attacked it on 9/11 and wanted to blame it on their favorite targets. So much for tolerance!
What is my country? The United States of America. Funny how my country has the same name as the fantasy country these people speak about. I do wonder if all these people knew what the filmmakers planned to do with their contributions. It’s hard to say but I highly doubt that many people would have agreed to contribute to such a film. But then again, my country is also the biggest leader in sellouts; almost anyone would do anything for a buck these days.

Darius says “Let me give you some stats on how often the majority of us red state Americans think about Israel: 0.0005%.”
I would like to know if a majority of red-staters even think, or at least think about something other than NASCAR. Probably most Americans, and especially red-staters, don’t even know where Israel is. What do you find in red-states? Fundamentalist preachers who support Israel because they think it heralds the second-coming of Christ, their mythological hero, and will send them to the kingdom of their god.
Karen makes quite appropriate remarks, and I know as I am an American too.
One thing I noticed about the video, is that America seems to be the opposite of Israel. Israelis and American zionists don’t like America, they just see it as a bunch of suckers to get the money and arms from.

Most of the world doesn’t recognize the Palestinian people.
Are they occupied people or terrorists?
Maybe both.
Mostly occupied.
I don’t know how the Zionists will agree to loosing their stolen lands.
Maybe as much as the Palestinians are upset of loosing their lands.

Being from a free mid-western red state, I like to make a distinction between southern red-states and the other red-states, or the free red states. Those bible thumping sterotypes originate mostly in the former slave states, although evangelicals do quite well in the northern xurbs too. The average U.S. family relocates about five times in their average life time, so you pickup services wherever your job takes you.
The more west you go and the further you get away from cities and collectivism in general, the less you find people who are willing to let government make their decisions for them. The western red-staters just want to stay as far away from Washington as possible. Probably a wise thing. NASCARism is concentrated mostly to the former slave red states. Southerners take great pride in getting corporate sponsorship to run moonshine in fast cars, except without moonshine.
Those of us familiar with Peak Oil enjoy the ultimate absurdity of having an entire cable television channel devoted to all kinds of racing sports - from monster trucks to tractor pulling to Harley racing speed-boat racing. Monster truck jam seems to be more popular in the blue-states than in the red states for some reason. It’s a southern export.
To get the maximum cognitive dissonance out of your Peak Oil experience, watch one of the early Mad Max flicks while you flip back and forth to the NASCAR channel as a field of 50 cars races 500 miles, each burning about a gallon of gas every three minutes. Meanwhile cousin Jethro is over in Iraq dodging car bombs because - well them thar A-rabs hates our freedom. Freedom means never having to say I can’t afford to put gas in my car. I hate your freedom too, ya damn redneck ‘n’ I’m an American! No - I don’t hate your freedom. I hate what you chose to do with it.
The _other_ red states provide vast new opportunities to make fresh stereotypes, but they also contain many of the people whose votes are needed to turn this thing around so I try not to piss em off too much. Besides - stereotyping and name calling are mainly conservative tools. Those of us on the progressive side prefer to use sarcasm and education to get our point of view across.
What with the Zionists occupying the federal government - I also want to stay as far away from Washington as possible, just like the western red staters. So I see potential allies in them thar red states and I try not to think of people as cartoons.

I was born in America, but I can honestly say that the people ARE brainwashed into believing that Israel is first. Wouldn’t that be considered treason? Palestine I believe is my homeland, but not without my people…all of them, not just a few select that really have no hebrew blood coursing through their vains. The whole land that has been taken, should be given back. Before WWI and WWII, during the Ottoman Empire, jews were allowed to emigrate to their homeland freely. I believe the ones that were denied access for a time were in fact the Ashkenazi’s. (Big surprise!) I am a Sephardi, and the amount of predjudice that comes to Sephards, Arab-Israeli’s, Ethiopians and really anybody else not totally Askenaz says something. I think that the land should go back to pre 1948, forget 1967 and forward.
Americans do not understand, and when I speak of my love for Palestinians, often I am sited as a muslim…I say, “Thank you for identifying me with them, they are my family.” Or I get this from fellow Americans, “Gee, you don’t look jewish.” At the height of violence in Iraq, here in America, I was asked on many occasions if I was “one of those Arabs.” I was getting some food from the only pub/store in the area, and these guys were drunk. I just smiled and got what I came for and left. Oh yes, middle America is filled with misinformation about not only Zionist puppetry, but about Middle Eastern peoples in general. To be rejected by Ashkenazi’s because I don’t look the part, I consider a badge of honor. I will put a link up for other American’s to also review. This one is about Sharon. It is written by an American, who of course has been labled an anti-semite.
The judaizing of the churches has in recent days contributed to the deepening “Israel first” mantra. If only they truely understood that they are not really supporting Israel but “jewish roots” that do not have any resemblence of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob’s roots… which is that God is our identity, our clothing of praise, our hands of gentleness, our face shining his countanence, our hearts and mouths that lift God up, and say He is our God. Zionist would have every one believe that they are god, and they are training everyone here in America to sing it’s praises. It is idolatry, nothing more. We can see it with Ethiopian jews who were not corrupted by Eastern European ways. They are brought into Israel, and made to “assimilate.” Why? They have a beautiful culture and language. Zionists and Hasids want to make Israel Babylon. Sorry for my rant…there is much suffering on both sides of the wall. Palestinians are suffering most assuredly, but so are hebrew’s that have been suckered into living there. Theirs are the wounds that few see. They have been hyjacked by Zionists, and they are being held, in my opinion, hostage…used for political purposes. Not all of them, but many. They have taken holocaust surviors into the land, and left them to die. I grieve for what is going on in Zion as well.

Sephardic Jews are said to be the original descendents of the Hebrews. The Ashkenazi Jews are Europeans who converted in the 8th century from orders of the King of Khazaria to make trading easier. Fact is, Americans really only know mostly Ashkenazi Jews so it makes sense that they would say a Sephardic Jew or Ethiopian Jew doesn’t look Jewish. But then again, it was the Sephardic Jews who ran the Trans-Atlantic African Slave trade mostly settling in Brazil with Jewish colonies (Christopher Columbus was actually a Spanish Jew, not at all Italian), but slavery allowed this country to prosper far more than it would have if people got paid to work. Sephardic Jews once looked down on the European Jews because they knew they weren’t “original,” until Zionism, now the Europeans are looking down on the Sephardic Jews. What goes around comes around as they say.
Listen, we’re all just people first. We MUST stop trying to determine who is what and who deserves what. I live in the US. I know that if the Europeans had come to this country back in the 1600s and chose to be respectful and live here the way the native people would have allowed, or simply in harmony with them, it would have been a different history. Fact is, humans migrate. We’ve been migrating all over this planet since the days our ancestors began to leave Africa. We will continue to move around, and there is no such thing as purity because all that moving around has made no one pure. Now that the planet is entirely populated, the idea of exploring and populating new areas is no more. The new goal is complete conquest and control of it all, with headquarters in Israel.

Concerning the short video, it seems to imply that Americans are not only aware of their diversity, but celebrate it and appreciate it. It shows people saying “we” quite a bit. As an American with a diverse ethnic background and having grown up and lived here all my life, I can say the people rarely declare “we” as a diverse but unified group and there is really, truely a lack of appreciation for the what the U.S. Constitution was intended to do. Along with liberty, this nation was founded on the value of individual prosperity. What’s wrong with that? It eventually leads to the worship of money, thus making societiy hollow. Being hollow leads to not doing the right thing but the most profitable right thing. Of course there are almost 300 million people here and we are not all hollow. But I can say there are people I know, many- Catholic and of various churches who swear they abide by Christian values, yet they do not help the poor/sick or otherwise in need. Those same people swear Christian values and American values are one in the same. Those same people don’t want to be around certain people-for reasons unknown(Just look in our segregated schools and neighborhoods). By default, shouldn’t racism be absent in a Christian society? But here we are all around it. Americans, including myself, are guilty of feeling uncomfortable around others from far away. We expect assimillation and at times demand it. Maybe from the hypocracy of our slave-owning founders,from the American-Christian view on life, or from the worship of money, Americans, especially 2nd generation Americans placed in that piece would give you a totally differnet explaination of what an American is.
December 5th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
Oh yea, By the way, to answer Benarda, I am from Texas the “Red State” hub! I am not caught up by the red-blue fiasco and would like to state that not all Americans are so insecure that they need cling to a party’s ideals, frankly, I have my own.
P.S. I happen to like Grand Prix racing ; NASCAR is below me.
December 5th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
I just appreciate the dialog that’s going on in this thread. I don’t think there is a right or a wrong when it comes to perceptions. Each person is touching a different part of the elephant, as it were, and reporting what they find where they are. We serve as a periscope for the each other to see the world from another perspective. It’s hard to quibble with someone’s report if it is given in earnest.
The blogosphere is now my main source of information. I have turned off PBS, which has turned completely to the “fair and balanced” of experts who cancel each other out. There was hope for a while, but the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds and directs PBS, is now headed by a network of ultra-Zionist Republican Jews.
So if Americans don’t know anything it’s not because they are stupid or because they are resistant to learning. It’s because there just aren’t any good alternative sources of information. What we see and hear is filtered through a media system which has never ever once questioned the U.S. relationship with Israel.
Eden Hadassah’s input gives me a new perspective which I’d heard of before - the myriad distinctions within Jewish history and culture. The Sephardi / Ashkenazi paradigm is rarely discussed from personal experience, but rather in the context of ideology or racist rants.
It’s not enough just to call Americans names and let it end there. We have to find ways to supply them with accurate information. Sabbah’s Blog is doing a great job. As are hundreds of other bloggers and scholars and activists.
I don’t think any one person has a lock on the truth, especially myself. But I rely upon other people to tell me what I need to know because I’m not using the corporate (fascist) media.
Thanks for all your points of view.
December 5th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
It is very true that Sephardics ran the slave trade, and corrupted this country with it. Dominance is the theme of “cultured society.” All domination is wrong. When one party holds their “status” above another party and says “you are not worthy to be here”, it is wrong. But what is the perpetual root of this? I believe it is misinformation. I really enjoyed looking through the website “If Americans Knew”. What comes around goes around theme works I guess if you are first the perpetrator and then become the victim, but I wasn’t involved in the slave trade. We have to go back to the roots of slave trade, money. The same money that funds wars on both sides of the line drawn in the sand. Slave trade, and the treatment of Africans goes back to this idea that “goyim” are less then human. This is not the truth, yet it still exists today. I want that idea to end. I will find my link, and post what I am talking about. There are actually two of them.

There are things being set up behind the scenes, and they receive no media or press. Shouldn’t corruption be exposed on all fronts? Most Americans do not know that they are under gentile Noahide Laws, and they are actually considered “animals.” Think about it. I do not follow the Talmud, but I do watch those who do follow it, very carefully…as should anyone else who actually considers themselves people, human and beautifully created. These are some of the roots of hate, and unfortunately it comes from some of my people. All people are beautifully created in the image of God, make no mistake, and what needs to be exposed is what no gentile has access to…the Babylonian Talmud, and the other extra biblical writings. It is at the heart of much of the so-called “anti-semitism.”

It is not just that Americans don’t get information from the news media(compare CNN to CNN International and they don’t get Al-Jazeera English), they don’t learn much in school either.
http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/report/old/2006/major_findings.html
“America’s colleges and universities fail to increase knowledge about America’s history and institutions. There is a trivial difference between college seniors and their freshmen counterparts regarding knowledge of America’s heritage. Seniors scored just 1.5 percent higher on average than freshmen, and at many schools, seniors know less than freshmen about America’s history, government, foreign affairs, and economy. Overall, college seniors failed the civic literacy exam, with an average score of 53.2 percent, or F, on a traditional grading scale.”
