Sharon: A leader like Bush in the 30s could have prevented the Holocaust
By Ellis Shuman March 11, 2003

Bush: After Iraq, we'll make progress towards Palestinian state
Sharon expresses support for Bush peace plan leading to Palestinian state
Bush asks Israel to keep low profile on Iraq

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday praised U.S. President George W. Bush and his determination to wage war against Iraq. Sharon strongly supported the need to change the leadership in Iraq, but said Israel is not involved in the war. Senior defense officials say the likelihood that Iraq would launch missiles at Israel in the case of an American attack is "very, very, very low."

"It's impossible to free one's self from the feeling that if in Europe, in the 1930s, there had similarly been such a leader, it's possible that Europe would not have been ravaged by World War II and that we, the Jewish nation, would not have paid the terrible price of losing 6 million people," Sharon told members of Likud's Knesset faction on Monday.

"We know there is a real and necessary attempt here to stop rogue governments, like the one in Iraq, from endangering the region and the world... We have been fighting terrorism for more than 120 years; we know the threat it poses, and now the world has a better understanding of how serious the danger is...

"We hope that if there is such a war, it will open up more opportunities for diplomatic initiatives that could lead to peace," Sharon said.

Sharon emphasized that Israel was not involved in the war. "We are neither pressing to move it forward, nor do we seek to postpone it. We know that this is a necessary attempt to bring an end to the capability of tyrannical regimes, such as the one in Iraq, to tangibly endanger the entire world."

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and U.S. Ambassador Dan Kurtzer yesterday denied reports published in Maariv on Monday that the Bush administration was so angry about leaks and public pronouncements emanating from Israel that it had decided not to give Israel prior warning about the beginning of the expected campaign against Iraq.

"There is no way we are going to surprise our ally, so I don't know where those press reports came from," Kurtzer said. "They are without foundation."

"The blabbering of senior officials in and out of uniform who talk as if they were conducting the war is causing harm," ynet yesterday quoted Foreign Ministry sources as saying.

Sharon decided that from now on, only he, Shalom and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz will make public comments about the expected war with Iraq, while all other ministers will be forbidden to give interviews on the topic

Warning will be given hours ahead of American attack
Yediot Aharonot reported today that the United States promised to provide Israel with advance warning of the start of its attack against Iraq, but it would be only "hours" in advance, much shorter than earlier assumed. The notice would be given to Sharon personally in a phone call from Washington, the paper said. Previously it was thought that Israel would have as much as a 72-hour advance notice of the attack.

Sharon met yesterday with Maj.-Gen. Charles Simpson, director of operations for the U.S. Air Forces in Europe, who will serve as liaison between the American army and the defense establishment in Israel. Simpson is due to remain in Israel during the entire Iraqi campaign and coordinate security arrangements between the two countries.

Senior IDF officials said that if Saddam Hussein planned to attack Israel in response to an American strike, there would already be signs of preparations in western Iraq, Maariv reported today. According to foreign news reports, dozens of satellites are spying on territories from which Scud rockets could be fired at Israel, and the area is presently free from rockets.

Maariv reported that senior officials in the IDF have reached the conclusion that the possibility of an Iraqi missile strike at Israel is highly unlikely. One unnamed senior official was quoted as saying, "The chance [of an Iraqi attack] is very, very, very low."

A leader like bush in europe in the thirties COMITTED the holocaust.

Why oh why

12.03.2003 17:05

Why oh why do you have to ruin a perfectly good post by going on about "kikes"?

I take it you also hate "spics", "darkies" and "Pakis", not to mention "taffies", "micks" and "jocks."

Hating Zionism does not equate to hating Jews in general and unthinking twattiness like this simply gives ammo to the psycho pro-Sharon lobby who LOVE to paint any criticism of their murderous regime as "anti-semitic."

Check your attitude, you schlemiel.

Chapter - II - The Hitler Project

Bush Property Seized--Trading with the Enemy

In October 1942, ten months after entering World War II, America was preparing its first assault against Nazi military forces. Prescott Bush was managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. His 18-year-old son George, the future U.S. President, had just begun training to become a naval pilot. On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.

Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland `` Bunny '' Harriman, three Nazi executives, and two other associates of Bush.@s1

The order seizing the bank `` vests '' (seizes) `` all of the capital stock of Union Banking Corporation, a New York corporation, '' and names the holders of its shares as:

`` E. Roland Harriman--3991 shares ''
[chairman and director of Union Banking Corp. (UBC); this is `` Bunny '' Harriman, described by Prescott Bush as a place holder who didn't get much into banking affairs; Prescott managed his personal investments]

`` Cornelis Lievense--4 shares ''
[president and director of UBC; New York resident banking functionary for the Nazis]

`` Harold D. Pennington--1 share ''
[treasurer and director of UBC; an office manager employed by Bush at Brown Brothers Harriman]

`` Ray Morris--1 share ''


[director of UBC; partner of Bush and the Harrimans]

`` Prescott S. Bush--1 share ''
[director of UBC, which was co-founded and sponsored by his father-in-law George Walker; senior managing partner for E. Roland Harriman and Averell Harriman]

`` H.J. Kouwenhoven--1 share ''
[director of UBC; organized UBC as the emissary of Fritz Thyssen in negotiations with George Walker and Averell Harriman; managing director of UBC's Netherlands affiliate under Nazi occupation; industrial executive in Nazi Germany; director and chief foreign financial executive of the German Steel Trust]

`` Johann G. Groeninger--1 share ''
[director of UBC and of its Netherlands affiliate; industrial executive in Nazi Germany]

`` all of which shares are held for the benefit of ... members of the Thyssen family, [and] is property of nationals ... of a designated enemy country.... ''

By Oct. 26, 1942, U.S. troops were under way for North Africa. On Oct. 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation.@s2

U.S. forces landed under fire near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy combat raged throughout November. Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942. In this action, the government announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis' U.S. partners to carry on the business.@s3

These and other actions taken by the U.S. government in wartime were, tragically, too little and too late. President Bush's family had already played a central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany; in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries for the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A.; and in the development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with their well-known results.

The facts presented here must be known, and their implications reflected upon, for a proper understanding of President George Herbert Walker Bush and of the danger to mankind that he represents. The President's family fortune was largely a result of the Hitler project. The powerful Anglo-American family associations, which later boosted him into the Central Intelligence Agency and up to the White House, were his father's partners in the Hitler project.

NOT ANTISEMTIC

12.03.2003 18:51

israel is a fetter on US relations with other nations in the middle east and has a controlling influence on foreign policy much like the oil industry does on domestic policy.
o compare bush to hitler because his father was a chairman of a german banking enterprise? 9or some such involvement) in america prior to wwII s the equivilent of saying that the chairman of the bank of england is responsible for civilian deaths in iraq if blair decides to attack it without UN aproval.... HOW EXACTLY IS THAT ANTISEMITIC... you people remove any non marxist material or opinions.

lets keep clear heads

1. Absolutely. Do not confuse the appalling actions of the Israeli govt with jews in general or with jewishness. Mind you, things are slowly deteriorating. The number of Israeli citizens supporting forcible ejection of Palestinians is climbing steadily, and is currently reported at 44%. Very worrying trend.
2. It cannot be anything but good that Israel is keeping its distance, and its mouth shut, in regard to the Iraq conflict. It cannot be anything but good that Bush commits himself, even faintly, to brokering creation of a palestinian state as his next agenda item. I hope to God he means it, and in Gaza and the West Bank, not somewhere else chosen by Israel and rendered irreversible by massive expulsions under the cover and excuse of the Iraq war. This is what I fear. Many in Israel are pushing for it at this last opportunity.
3. Fallout from MOAB. There is none. It is a conventional weapon. I think it involves creating a huge cloud of explosive vapour, and igniting it.
