It was with considerable disappointment, therefore, that the 800lb. Gorilla watched Pike’s recent video file, “Hate Law Jihad: Criminalizing Islam’s Critics,” in which the reverend makes the outrageous claim that Muslims represent the chief beneficiaries of current and pending “hate crimes” legislation.

The assertion is ludicrous on its face, as we all know that “hate laws” are the work of religion-hating Zionists, designed for use against their opponents -- be they Christian, Muslim or otherwise.

So one has to wonder, Rev -- when did they get to you?

“I call on the Israeli army to crush these Palestinian terrorists who are at Iran’s beck and call; chase the rebels of Hamas, annihilate its lunatics and demented leaders who are disguised as men of faith, crush them and exterminate them and teach them a lesson which they will never forget just as you taught the terrorist Hizbullah a harsh lesson in 2006….So deliver Gaza from the grip of Hamas. These Palestinians, wherever they go, they take with them terror, corruption, trouble l, tumult and ingratitude…..!”

These words were not written by Israeli propagandists or Zionist apologists seeking to justify the recent Israeli blitzkrieg in Gaza. They are actually the words of a Kuwaiti Arab columnist who has apparently sold his soul to the devil.

The absurd charge does not deserve rebuttal. There’s more than enough proof -- photographic and otherwise -- of the unprecedented carnage in Gaza, most of it borne by the defenseless civilian population.

Nevertheless, we would remind Mr. MacLeod -- as a propagandist for one party to the conflict -- that he could become criminally liable if that party is found guilty of war crimes or crimes against humanity by a legitimate court of law.

Doctors in Gaza City have told Al Jazeera that people have been admitted suffering burns consistent with the use of the controversial chemical white phosphorus. Human rights campaigners say that Israeli forces have used the munitions, which can burn away human flesh to the bone, over Gaza City and Jabaliya in recent days.

Even before the assault, the Gaza Strip had been subject to an international “embargo” -- supported by the Zionist-run US, EU and UN -- that destroyed its economy and deprived its 1.5 million inhabitants of food, medicine and fuel. Now, the people of Gaza are being pounded from air, land and sea by Israel’s U.S.-funded war machine.

The Jewish-run “mainstream media,” meanwhile, has gone into overdrive, justifying the killing by doing what it does best: portraying “poor little Israel” as the blameless victim in an existential struggle with Islamic “terror.” The following January 5 article from the Associated Press (AP) -- written by Zionist propagandist Arthur Max -- is a case in point.

“Because so many bonds attach me to Israel, I am ready to condone preventive war; I rejoiced when my side won,” the talentless Hitchens quotes Stone as saying about Israel’s martial victories.

The phenomenon of crypto-Judaism, by which Jews adopt gentile names and downplay their origins, is hardly new. But in the case of Stone -- or Feinstein, rather -- one has to ask: what do these people -- so often prominent journalists and influential opinion-makers -- have to hide?

Yet an intelligent reading of Hersh’s work, especially his most recent books dealing with JFK and 9/11, will expose this Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for what he is: a professional liar for the Zionist establishment.
