Dimitri and Khalid explore the tragic denouement of World War One in Ottoman Palestine, including: the origins of the notorious Balfour Declaration and the surprising ambivalence of Anglo-Jewish elites towards it, managing the Arab reaction to Balfour (gaslighting Hussein), James Renton's “The Zionist Masquerade” and the origins of a vast British psyop against American Jews, how the racist weltanschauung of the British Establishment shaped their Balfour policy, targeting various ethnic groups as stereotypical monolithic “nations”, the impact of the Bolshevik Revolution on British anxieties about winning the support of “the Jews”, “their consciousness is NOT our consciousness”, Winston Churchill's 1920 ravings about using Zionism to combat International Judeo-Bolshevism, largely unsuccessful British efforts to psyop Polish-Americans and Irish-Americans into supporting the Allies, the perfidious anti-British machinations of the Irish-American “boss”, Vladimir Jabotinsky's thwarted desire for a Zionist “Maccabee Brigade” to join the war, flooding Jewish-American media with pro-Zionist content after Balfour, the sinister dramaturgy of General Allenby's entrance into Jerusalem, and more.

Vladimir Jabotinsky founds one of the most important youth movements in Jewish history.

Lately it seems all anyone can talk about is... Zionism. But what even is Zionism? Jump into the world of Revisionist Zionist leader, Vladimir Jabotinsky, exploring his unique, and somewhat paradoxical, vision of zionism and a Jewish homeland: a delicate balance of strength and diplomacy. Join Yael and Schwab as they explore Jabotinsky's divergence from 'mainstream' Zionism, his advocacy for territorial maximalism, and his enduring impact on Israeli politics, providing new insight into his legacy and its effects on Zionism as we know it today. This episode was hosted by Jonathan Schwab and Yael Steiner. Our education lead is Dr. Henry Abramson. Audio was edited by Rob Pera, and we're produced by Rivky Stern.

Make sure to give him a follow on Twitter at @thingobserver & check out his Patreon, as well. **The time has come to put Hanussen's body back in the earth. Luke & I conclude our exhumation & critically paranoid examination of the life & espionage times of the Nazi Nostradamus & sexual blackmailer. We break down the symmetries b/w Hanussen & his likely fellow anti-communist, Austro-Hungarian Zionist agent/ asset named Arthur Koestler (and the incredibly sus, See-Eye-Aye nexus that he was enmeshed in... Including connections to McCarthy, Nixon, Orwell, Langston Hughes, Vladimir Jabotinsky, Timothy Leary, voluntary euthenasia societies, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a parapsychology department at the University of Edinburgh, the list goes on)... We get to Koestler via his autobiographical account of visiting Hanussen at his lavish Capone-cum-geisha apartment in Berlin—Koestler & a German occult journalist were on assignment & arrived to test their respective susceptibility to Hanussen's "clairvoyant" abilities. The article was never published. So yeah, a Hanussen & Koestler spying for Zion hypothesis is considered. We then turn our attention to Hanussen's Reichstag Fire prophecy & his possible role in the cover-up (realizing I may have forgot to mention this, but Hanussen spoke to the media & helped the Nazis to set the tone for their constructed narrative immediately following the fiery false flag). We conclude w/ a discussion of varying motivations for the Nazis to off him (especially his betrayal during the Mosse publishing empire purchase), the particulars of his unceremonious death, & the discovery of his body in a wooded glade, half gnawed by wild animals. And finally, Luke & I put guns to each others heads to force each other to make a final, fatal assessment re: Hanussen's motivations & allegiance(s).** Songs:  | The Prodigy - "Firestarter" |  | Rammstein - "Benzin" | 

“Arap İsyanı” ibaresi, yakın tarihimizin en yanıltıcı terimlerinden biridir. Yalnızca Şerif Hüseyin ve ailesiyle onları destekleyen bazı kabilelerin başlattığı isyana, Osmanlı coğrafyasının her yerindeki Arap nüfus kitlesel biçimde katılmış gibi bir algı oluşturan bu terim, Arap dünyasına dair güncel genellemelere zemin hazırlar: “Bizi arkamızdan vuranlar...” Böyle genellemeler Türkiye kamuoyunda Araplara karşı ölçüsüz bir nefret ve önyargı doğururken, imparatorluğu en kritik zamanda gerçekten arkadan vuran başka aktörleri de ustalıkla gözden kaçırmaya yarar. Mesela Çanakkale cephesinde, İngilizlerin safında Osmanlı'ya karşı savaşan Yahudileri... İngilizlerin kontrolündeki Mısır'da eğitilip donatılan, ardından 17 Nisan 1915 günü Gelibolu cephesine sevk edilen Yahudi gönüllüler, tarihe “Siyon Katır Bölüğü” adıyla geçti. Cephe önünde ve gerisinde savaşa iştirak ettiler, imparatorluk dağıldıktan sonra da Filistin topraklarına yönelerek aktif biçimde Arap kıyımına katıldılar. Siyon Katır Bölüğü'nün iki kurucusundan biri, Joseph Trumpeldor, 1 Mart 1920 günü Arap köyü Tel Hay'da Filistin'in yerli sakinlerine karşı Siyonizm uğruna savaşırken öldürüldü. Diğer kurucu Vladimir Zeev Jabotinsky ise, 1940'taki ölümüne kadar, İsrail'de bugün hâlâ ana akım içinde temsil edilen, Arap ve İslâm düşmanı Likud çizgisinin ideoloğu ve teorisyeni olarak sivrildi. Chaim Weizmann ve David Ben-Gurion gibi İngiliz siyasetine yakın duran Siyonist liderlerin aksine, Jabotinsky, Filistin topraklarının Araplarla hiçbir şekilde uzlaşmadan ve “diplomatik usullerle vakit israf etmeden” işgalini savunuyordu. Bu yolda katliamlar, tedhiş eylemleri ve tehcir de dâhil olmak üzere, her türlü yöntem kullanılmalıydı. Araplar, “hayvanlardan daha aşağı” bir ırktı ve onların yaşam hakkı yoktu. 1923'te kaleme aldığı “Demir Duvar” adlı ünlü makalesinde görüşlerini sistemleştiren Jabotinsky, ana akım Siyonizm'den koptu ve “Revizyonist Siyonizm”i kurdu. Buna göre, bugünkü Ürdün, Suriye ve hatta Irak'ın bir bölümü de Siyonizm'in hedefinde olmalıydı. Revizyonistlerin terör örgütü “Irgun”du, gençlik kolları da “Betar” adıyla sahneye çıktı. Jabotinsky'nin yanından hiç ayrılmayan isimlerden biri ise Ben-Siyon Netanyahu idi. Ben-Siyon'un 1949'da dünyaya gelen oğlu Benyamin, İsrail'in müstakbel başbakanlarından biri olacaktı. Vladimir Jabotinsky, 4 Ağustos 1940'ta, Betar'ın gençlik kampı için bulunduğu New York'ta kalp krizinden öldüğünde, terör bayrağını sadık talebesi Menahem Begin devraldı. Begin, Araplara karşı gaddarlıkta ustasını fersah fersah geride bıraktı, çünkü Jabotinsky'nin planladığı pek çok şeyi hayata geçirecek imkânlar buldu. Irgun terör örgütünün lideri olarak, Deyr Yâsîn Katliamı (9 Nisan 1948) başta olmak üzere çok sayıda insanlık suçuna imza atan Begin, aynı zamanda İngilizlere de saldırmayı ihmal etmiyordu. 22 Temmuz 1946'da Kudüs'teki King David Hotel'in güney kanadında konuşlanan İngiliz manda idaresi ofislerine düzenlenen bombalı saldırı, Filistin meselesinin BM'ye havale edilmesine yol açacaktı.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy's Grant F. Smith returns to discuss his new podcast documentary series How Israel Made AIPAC. Grant takes through the history of AIPAC, often simply referred to as the Israel lobby, from its earliest days vis-a-vis the figure of lobbyist Isaiah L. Kenen. Grant gives an overview about the origins of AIPAC and issues related to Israel in the 20th century including the Transfer Agreement and the Third Reich, Haganah arms smuggling, NUMEC and how Israel acquired nuclear weapons, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA),  the U.S. State Department, Ze'ev "Vladimir" Jabotinsky and the Likud Party, and more. We'll also discuss the importance of this documentary series to current events and U.S. foreign policy today as well as the ways in which previous Presidents like the Pendergast Machine-affiliated Harry Truman could be compromised by private or foreign interests. Then, in a brief bonus segment, Dave DeCamp of Antiwar.Com joins us to discuss how a recent CBS documentary on U.S./NATO arming of Ukraine was pulled after Volodymyr Zelensky's government complained about it. One of the issues raised by the documentary was the question of how many of the arms being sent to Ukraine are actually making it into the hands of the military. Ukraine's foreign defense minister has called for CBS to launch an internal investigation to see who "enabled" the documentary.

Few figures in twentieth-century Jewish life were quite so admired and loathed as Vladimir Jabotinsky (1880-1940). The founder of the branch of Zionism now headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, he is perhaps the most controversial of all Zionist political leaders. Join us as author Hillel Halkin explores the life and legacy of Jabotinsky. Halkin will also explain the importance of Odessa, Ukraine, Jabotinsky's native city, in shaping his character and outlook.

El 17 de octubre de 1880, nació Ze'ev Vladimir Jabotinsky, en Odessa, Ucrania. Ze'ev fue un destacado líder sionista, escritor, orador, periodista y soldado. A sus 23 años fue profundamente conmovido por los sangrientos ataques en contra de los judíos de Odessa y Kishinev. Este suceso fue conocido como el Pogromo de Kishinev, e influenció la ideología de Ze'ev, enfocada en la auto-defensa y el militarismo judío como algo fundamental para la misión sionista. Jabotinsky fue crucial para la creación de la Legión Judía del Ejército Británico durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, y ayudó a organizar las fuerzas de defensa judía que protegían a los miembros del Yishuv. Además de su participación en el establecimiento del Keren Hayesod, Jabotinsky también creó el Movimiento Juvenil Betar, el cual fue importante en la enseñanza del idioma hebreo, la cultura, la autodefensa, y el establecimiento del núcleo del partido moderno Likud. Se dedicó a traer a inmigrantes judíos a Israel, a veces de manera clandestina, a pesar de las crecientes restricciones por parte del gobierno británico. Jabotinsky dejó un legado intelectual de miles de trabajos y documentos: correspondencia, discursos, artículos publicados, panfletos y libros. Jabotinsky falleció en Nueva York en 1940 y no alcanzó a ver el cumplimiento de su sueño: ver la creación del estado judío. Más info en: www.hoyenlahistoriadeisrael.com

Special Tisha Ba'av Episode   The 1903 Kishinev Pogrom was a tragic massacre, with reverberations within the wider Jewish world remaining until this very day. Goaded on by anti-Semitic newspapers with cries of 'Death to the Jews', a blood libel was fabricated and a mob was unleashed on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1903. Leaving 49 killed, hundreds maimed and injured in its wake, Jewish property was destroyed and looted as well. Claims of complicity of the police and government were voiced in many quarters. But it was primarily the after effects of this pogrom which had a long term transformative effect on Jewish society in Russia and worldwide. The great immigration to the United States was already long underway, but it significantly intensified in the years following Kishinev and the subsequent 1905 revolution. American Jewry was galvanized to assist the victims, and this cemented the relationship US Jewry was to have with their brethren back in Eastern Europe. Within Russia, many of the Jewish youth became radicalized as a result of the massacre, joining clandestine revolutionary organizations with the goal of overthrowing the Czar. The most profound impact was felt within the nascent Zionist movement. Chaim Nachman Bialik was dispatched by the historian Shimon Dubnow to gather testimonies from survivors. Following his five week stay in Kishinev, Bialik penned 'Be'ir Hahareiga' - In the City of Death, a poem about the pogrom. Powerfully written, it also included strongly worded accusations in regards to the perceived passivity of the victims. The poem and its message was to have an immense impact, as it was published and translated and became immensely popular. Vladimir Jabotinsky's conclusion was to organize Jewish self defense, and Theodore Herzl's conclusion was the Uganda proposal at the Sixth Zionist Congress.  The shadow of the Kishinev tragedy was to hover over the many subsequent, and ever greater tragedies of the bloody 20th century.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:    PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Ian Lustick is a prominent political scientist at the University of Pennsylvania.  He is known for his analysis of intractable conflicts:  South Africa, Algeria, Northern Ireland, and Israel-Palestine. I discussed some of his ideas in the podcast on The Black Swan.   In his book Paradigm Lost Lustick discusses why the option of a two-state solution is no longer possible.  He says there is now a single state reality containing Israel and Palestine.  He also discusses how Israeli thinking of the Holocaust has gone through four stages, with dramatically different implications for public policy.  There were several opportunities in the past for Israel to make a serious effort to create a Palestinian state.  There were partners available.  Why did Israel not take this opportunity to solve a problem that could potentially destabilize the state?  He says there are two reasons rooted in how the Israelis think – one involves the idea of an Iron Wall and the other an understanding of the Holocaust.  There is also a political factor, the role of the Israel Lobby in America.  His discussion of these factors is deeply analytical and grounded in reality.  After all, he is a political scientist. This is my summary of Lustick's thinking.  If you are concerned about this conflict, you should listen to this podcast.  And if you think it is as important as I do, you should probably buy this book to discover all the things I did not have time to discuss.   Glitch:  The Reagan Plan, also called the Comprehensive Solution, was in 1982.  Sorry for the confusion. People Mentioned: Meir Pa'il,  David Ben-Gurion, Vladimir Jabotinsky, Menachem Begin, Ariel Sharon, Konrad Adenauer, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, King Fahd, James Madison, Golda Meir, Adolph Eichmann,  President George H. W. Bush, James Baker. Other Things Mentioned:  AIPAC, Reagan Plan, Resolution 242, Oslo Accords, Holocaustia, Yad Vashem, Sabra and Shatilla, Ibrahami Mosque massacre (Hebron), Federalist Ten, Treblinka. 

Anzac Day is on 25.4.2021. What is the Jewish connection to Gallipoli? One of the heroes of the Anzac troops was John Henry Patterson, a highly decorated British soldier who trained Jewish soldiers for the Zion Mule Corps for Gallipoli, Jews that the Turks expelled out of Palestine. This became the first Jewish army in 2000 years. Our guest is the Melbourne eye surgeon, Dr Henry Lew OAM who was intrigued why John Henry Patterson was actively written out of history. After an extensive research he had written a book, “Patterson of Israel” Dr Henry Lew had in fact discovered that Patterson, a high-ranking British officer, has been actively been sidelined. Dr Lew found that in fact, Patterson was a great friend of Israel and the Zionism and was a great friend of both Vladimir Jabotinsky and Chaim Weizmann.

The Mountains, the Catskills, the Borscht Belt, upstate, the country. Monticello, Liberty, Woodridge, Swan Lake, Woodbourne, Fallsburg. A place of many names with one thing in common: a place rich in Jewish history and lore. As a summer destination, the Catskills would be home to countless bungalow colonies as city Jews organized their communities for a mountain air getaway. Generations of children attended the many summer camps that dotted Sullivan County. Camps included Mesivta, Agudah, Munk, HILI, Kol Rinah, Torah Vodaath, Ohr Shraga, Sternberg and many more including the Betar Jewish self defense camp where Vladimir Jabotinsky died in 1940. It was also famously known as the Borscht Belt, and the legendary hotels/resorts/country clubs like Grossinger's, Kutscher's and the Concord made their mark as vacation sites. Most Jewish comedians of the time commenced their careers there. In addition to the summer crowd, the Catskills were home to many year round Jewish communities over the years. These towns built shuls, mikvas, hired Rabbis and even Jewish owned farms burgeoned for a time. This included Yeshivas as well such as the Mountaindale Yeshiva of Rav Yehuda Davis and the famous Yeshiva of South Fallsburg.   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:   PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

À propos du livre : « Les douze piliers d'Israël » paru aux éditions Perrin L'histoire d'Israël à travers ses figures de proue. Peut-être parce que sa vocation est d'être le refuge ultime d'un peuple persécuté durant des siècles, parce qu'il est aussi le premier État moderne dont la naissance procède non de la force militaire ou de l'arbitraire politique mais d'une volonté clairement exprimée par la communauté internationale, Israël n'est pas un État comme les autres. Sa naissance et son développement, son épanouissement – sa survie, aussi – reposent sur la condition et la volonté d'hommes et de femmes dont Georges Ayache brosse ici le portrait avec talent. Douze personnalités, de Theodore Herzl le " visionnaire " à Shimon Peres le " survivant " en passant par Ben Gourion et Golda Meir, et autant de piliers d'Israël qui parvinrent à s'imposer avec la foi parfois utopique des précurseurs, mais toujours aussi la détermination implacable des pionniers bâtisseurs. Ancien diplomate et universitaire, aujourd'hui avocat, Georges Ayache a déjà écrit plusieurs ouvrages remarqués, dont, chez Perrin, Kennedy, Nixon : les meilleurs ennemis, Les Présidents des États-Unis et Joe Kennedy.

In am wide-ranging discussion, we cover the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate period; the beginnings of the Jewish-Arab conflict; the thinking of Vladimir Jabotinsky and Revisionist Zionism; the story of Rabbi Jonathan's Grandfather, Professor I. J. Kligler, and his pioneering work eradicating malaria in Palestine; and background on the Jews from Arab-speaking countries.

Daniel Heller joins us to discuss his book Jabotinsky's Children: Polish Jews and the Rise of Right-Wing Zionism and the big issues it brings up: The rise of the Revisionist Zionist movement in interwar Europe and its relationship with right-wing politics and fascism; Jabotinsky and his ideological and political legacy, particularly in Israel; the importance of youth and youth movements in the history of Zionism and politics broadly speaking; the history of fascism and how it relates to the present; and the implications of studying the history of politics for understanding our own world.

Vladimir Jabotinsky, the founder of right-wing Zionism, argues with mainstream Zionism over relations with the Arabs, Jewish immigration, and Jewish territory in Palestine.

–Written and narrated by Peter Bejger.Perhaps some listeners fall into the same serendipitous mood I do when reading a book, or any collection of texts. Perhaps you start from the end. Or the middle. After all, every story has a beginning, middle, and end. But it doesn’t have to be told in that manner.A very interesting new issue of the Odessa Review prompts this reflection. The October/November issue focuses on one vital theme—relations between Ukrainians and Jews. Past, present, and future.This very special issue—supported by the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter—recognizes an important truth. As Vladislav Davidzon, editor-in-chief of the Odessa Review notes, no matter how complicated or difficult the subject of Ukrainian-Jewish relations has been, the story is far from over.An impressive array of contributors presents multiple views on the complexities and challenges of the Ukrainian-Jewish relationship.Wolf Moskovich, Professor Emeritus at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, reviews the impact of two towering figures on Ukrainian-Jewish relations in the early decades of the 20th century. The Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko and the Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky both attempted to build bridges between the two groups. Professor Moskovich shows how they helped to sow seeds of cooperation on what he calls “distinctly infertile soil.”A profile of the Ukrainian-born Israeli Anna Zharova, one of the founders of “Israeli Friends of Ukraine,” shows how cooperation has blossomed in a contemporary context. She outlines how both Israel and Ukraine can work with each other and learn from each other, especially in the humanitarian and cultural fields.The prolific author, historian, and Yale University professor Timothy Snyder is also represented in this special edition. His contribution underlines the fact that Ukrainian-Jewish relations were often subject to the malign influence of third parties. In his speech on Germany’s historical responsibility to Ukraine, delivered to the German Bundestag in June 2017, Snyder points to the primacy of Ukraine in sparking the Second World War. He notes, “Ukraine is the cause of the war. Had Hitler not had the colonial idea to fight a war in Eastern Europe to control Ukraine…had there not been that plan, there could not have been a Holocaust.”In another take on third party influence on Jewish-Ukrainian issues, the British scholar and journalist Bohdan Nahaylo traces how Ukrainian and Jewish political prisoners forged solidarity in Soviet penal institutions. Ironically, it was the Gulag that provided an unlikely forum for liberal Ukrainian and Jewish dissenters to meet and bond.Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Portnikov makes the astute observation that “Ukraine remained a colony of Russia not because it purchased Russian gas or because its fourth president was a Russian puppet, but because the Soviet mentality of Ukrainians correlated to the Soviet mentality of Russians, who were tragically incapable of adapting to modernity.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Franko and Jabotinsky: Setting the stage for cross-cultural understanding between Ukrainians and Jews-Written and narrated by Peter Bejger.Two writers, two politicians. Two outstanding public figures. And two intriguing viewpoints on the historic challenges of Ukrainian-Jewish relations.The Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko passed away in 1916. The Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky was from a generation younger. Both made vital contributions to the creation of their respective national states of Israel and an independent Ukraine. But both did not live long enough to see their national dreams come true.Wolf Moskovich, professor emeritus at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, compares and contrasts the lives of these two men in a fascinating essay. The essay was one of the contributions to an international conference and subsequent book on Ivan Franko and the Jewish issue in Galicia by the Vienna University Press.There is no evidence Franko and Jabotinsky ever crossed paths, though both met intellectuals they knew in common. Professor Moskovich traces some remarkable similarities in both men’s life stories. Both men ran for an elective political office before the First World War, Franko for the Habsburg Austrian parliament, and Jabotinsky for the Imperial Russian Duma. And both were defeated by corrupt party machines that were hostile to the interests of the two men’s electorate.Professor Moskovich calls Franko unique among Ukrainian writers of his times in his deep understanding of the Jewish community of Galicia. Franko apparently knew Yiddish from childhood and published some of his own translations of Yiddish works. Franko wrote more on Jewish subjects than any of his Ukrainian contemporaries.And no Jewish leader before or after Jabotinsky devoted as much attention to Ukrainian national issues. His support of the Ukrainian national struggle remained consistent and his writings reflected only a positive attitude towards Ukrainians.But there were inevitable differences.Professor Moskovich points out that Ivan Franko could be considered ambivalent about the Jewish community. Some of Franko’s writing can be considered philo-Semitic. However Moskovich notes Franko depicts Jews in an unfriendly manner in some of his works of fiction and poetry.Franko was evidently the first non-Jewish reviewer of Theodor Herzl’s 1896 landmark book The Jewish State, which called for the Jewish people of Europe to leave for their historic homeland. Professor Moskovich asserts Franko’s sympathy toward the Zionist idea did not originate in his deep Christian beliefs, as was the case with many Christian supporters of Zionism. Instead, Franko felt that the dire economic conditions of Ukrainians in Galicia, seen as Jewish exploitation, demanded the emigration of Jews as a safety valve. Herzl’s idea of a national state for Jews stimulated Franko’s own dreams of an independent Ukrainian state.Franko believed pauperized Ukrainian peasants and workers should defend their economic interests by creating cooperative structures that would eventually eliminate Jewish middlemen. And yet Franko supported the recognition of Jews as a separate nation with full equality of rights and obligations.Jabotinsky recognized the grave economic situation in Galicia and pursued Ukrainian-Jewish political cooperation. He saw the similarity in the national destinies of both peoples. Jabotinsky wrote that circumstances in Galicia were against the Jews. The only viable answer was to return to Zion and create the Jewish national state in Palestine.Professor Moskovich notes that at the end of the day Jabotinsky understood competing interests and history would make it difficult t...

In the second half of the 1930s the Polish Government abandoned its previously liberal policies towards Poland's large Jewish population and instead hoped to force mass migration to the British mandate of Palestine. Their partners in this endeavour were the extreme right wingers on the zionist movement, the revisionists, led by Vladimir Jabotinsky.If you can spare a dime towards the hosting, I'd be ever so grateful: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-fund-the-explaining-history-podcast/x/13613771#/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
