5Transcript of Freedman's Speech
6______________________
7Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to hear a very frightening speech. This
8speech is an explanation of the plans now being laid to throw the United
9States into a third world war. It was made a short time ago before a large
10group in the Congressional `Room of the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.
11Both the speech and the question and answer period later so electrified the
12audience that a group of patriots has transferred it to two long-playing
13records to play for friends, clubs, and your church group in your community.
14The speaker is Mr. Benjamin Freedman, noted authority on Zionism and all
15of its schemes.
16Mr. Freedman is a former Jew, and I mean a FORMER Jew.
17
18He has fought the Communist world conspiracy tooth and nail, and stands
19today as a leading American patriot. We now take you to the speaker's
20platform to present Benjamin Freedman.

26"What I intend to tell you tonight is something that you have never been able
27to learn from any other source, and what I tell you now concerns not only
28you, but your children and the survival of this country and Christianity. I'm
29not here just to dish up a few facts to send up your blood pressure, but I'm
30here to tell you things that will help you preserve what you consider the
31most sacred things in the world: the liberty, and the freedom, and the right
32to live as Christians, where you have a little dignity, and a little right to
33pursue the things that your conscience tells you are the right things, as
34Christians.
35
36Now, first of all, I'd like to tell you that on August 25th 1960 -- that was
37shortly before elections -- Senator Kennedy, who is now the President of the
38United States, went to New York, and delivered an address to the Zionist
39Organization of America. In that address, to reduce it to its briefest form,
40he stated that he would use the armed forces of the United States to preserve
41the existence of the regime set up in Palestine by the Zionists who are now
42in occupation of that area.
43
44In other words, Christian boys are going to be yanked out of their homes,
45away from their families, and sent abroad to fight in Palestine against the
46Christian and Moslem Arabs who merely want to return to their homes. And
47these Christian boys are going to be asked to shoot to kill these innocent
48[Arab Palestinians] people who only want to follow out fifteen resolutions
49passed by the United Nations in the last twelve years calling upon the
50Zionists to allow these people to return to their homes.
51
52Now, when United States troops appear in the Middle East to fight with the
53Zionists as their allies to prevent the return of these people who were evicted
54from their homes in the 1948 armed insurrection by the Zionists who were
55transplanted there from Eastern Europe... when that happens, the United
56States will trigger World War III.
57
58You say, when will that take place? The answer is, as soon as the difficulty
59between France and Algeria has been settled, that will take place. As soon as
60France and Algeria have been settled, that will take place. As soon as France
61and Algeria have settled their difficulty, and the Arab world, or the Moslem
62world, has no more war on their hands with France, they are going to move
63these people back into their homes, and when they do that and President
64kennedy sends your sons to fight over there to help the crooks hold on to
65what they stole from innocent men, women and children, we will trigger
66World War III; and when that starts you can be sure we cannot emerge from
67that war a victor. We are going to lose that war because there is not one
68nation in the world that will let one of their sons fight with us for such a
69cause.
70
71I know and speak to these ambassadors in Washington and the United
72Nations -- and of the ninety-nine nations there, I've consulted with maybe
73seventy of them --and when we go to war in Palestine to help the thieves
74retain possession of what they have stolen from these innocent people we're
75not going to have a man there to fight with us as our ally.
76
77And who will these people have supporting them, you ask. Well, four days
78after President Kennedy -- or he was then Senator Kennedy -- made that
79statement on August 28, 1960, the Arab nations called a meeting in Lebanon
80and there they decided to resurrect, or reactivate, the government of
81Palestine, which has been dormant more or less, since the 1948 armed
82insurrection by the Zionists.
83
84Not only that... they ordered the creation of the Palestine Army, and they are
85now drilling maybe a half a million soldiers in that area of the world to lead
86these people back to theirhomeland. With them, they have as their allies all
87the nations of what is termed the Bandung Conference Group. That includes
88the Soviet Union and every Soviet Union satellite. It includes Red China; it
89includes every independent country in Asia and Africa; or eighty percent of
90the world's total population. Eighty percent of the world's population. Four
91out of five human beings on the face of the earth will be our enemies at war
92with us. And not alone are they four out of five human beings now on the
93face of this earth, but they are the non-Christian population of the world and
94they are the non-Caucasians... the non-white nations of the world, and that's
95what we face.
96
97And what is the reason ? The reason is that here in the United States, the
98Zionists and their co-religionists have complete control of our government.
99For many reasons too many and too complex to go into here at this -- time
100I'll be glad to answer questions, however, to support that statement -- the
101Zionists and their co-religionists rule this United States as though they were
102the absolute monarchs of this country.
103
104Now, you say, 'well, that's a very broad statement to make', but let me show
105what happened while you were -- I don't want to wear that out --- let me
106show what happened while WE were all asleep. I'm including myself with
107you. We were all asleep. What happened ?
108
109World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. Nineteen-hundred and
110fourteen was the year in which World War One broke out. There are few
111people here my age who remember that. Now that war was waged on one
112side by Great Britain, France, and Russia; and on the other side by Germany,
113Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. What happened ?
114
115Within two years Germany had won that war: not alone won it nominally,
116but won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the
117world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean, and Great Britain
118stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, stood there with one week's
119food supply facing her -- and after that, starvation.
120
121At that time, the French army had mutinied. They lost 600,000 of the flower
122of French youth in the defense of Verdun on the Somme. The Russian army
123was defecting. They were picking up their toys and going home, they didn't
124want to play war anymore, they didn't like the Czar. And the Italian army
125had collapsed.
126
127Now Germany -- not a shot had been fired on the German soil. Not an
128enemy soldier had crossed the border into Germany. And yet, here was
129Germany offering England peace terms. They offered England a negotiated
130peace on what the lawyers call a status quo ante basis. That means: "Let's
131call the war off, and let everything be as it was before the war started."
132Well, England, in the summer of 1916 was considering that. Seriously !
133They had no choice. It was either accepting this negotiated peace that
134Germany was magnanimously offering them, or going on with the war and
135being totally defeated.
136
137While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany, who represented the
138Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet and -- I am
139going to be brief because this is a long story, but I have all the documents to
140prove any statement that I make if anyone here is curious, or doesn't believe
141what I'm saying is at all possible -- the Zionists in London went to the
142British war cabinet and they said: "Look here. You can yet win this war.
143You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated peace
144offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States
145will come in as your ally."
146
147The United States was not in the war at that time. We were fresh; we were
148young; we were rich; we were powerful. They [Zionists] told England: "We
149will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight
150with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the
151war."
152
153In other words, they made this deal: " We will get the United States into this
154war as your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won
155the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey."
156Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the
157United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason
158whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain -- that never had any
159connection or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine --
160should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the
161United States into the war.
162
163However, they made that promise, in October of 1916. October, nineteen
164hundred and sixteen. And shortly after that -- I don't know how many here
165remember it -- the United States, which was almost totally pro-German --
166totally pro-German -- because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews,
167the bankers were Jews, all the media of mass communications in this country
168were controlled by Jews, and they were pro-German because their people, in
169the majority of cases came from Germany, and they wanted to see Germany
170lick the Czar.
171
172The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war. So
173the German bankers -- the German-Jews -- Kuhn Loeb and the other big
174banking firms in the United States refused to finance France or England to
175the extent of one dollar. They stood aside and they said: &"As long as
176France and England are tied up with Russia, not one cent ! " But they poured
177money into Germany, they fought with Germany against Russia, trying to
178lick the Czarist regime.
179
180Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting Palestine,
181they went to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything
182changed, like the traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the
183newspapers had been all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people
184of the difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain
185commercially and in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans were no
186good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross
187nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands. And they were no good.
188Well, shortly after that, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany.
189
190The Zionists in London sent these cables to the United States, to Justice
191Brandeis: "Go to work on President Wilson. We're getting from England
192what we want. Now you go to work, and you go to work on President
193Wilson and get the United States into the war." And that did happen. That's
194how the United States got into the war. We had no more interest in it; we
195had no more right to be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead
196of in this room.
197
198Now the war -- World War One -- in which the United States participated
199had absolutely no reason to be our war. We went in there -- we were
200railroaded into it -- if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into -- that war
201merely so that the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. Now, that is
202something that the people in the United States have never been told. They
203never knew why we went into World War One. Now, what happened ?
204After we got into the war, the Zionists went to Great Britain and they said:
205
206"Well, we performed our part of the agreement. Let's have something in
207writing that shows that you are going to keep your bargain and give us
208Palestine after you win the war." Because they didn't know whether the war
209would last another year or another ten years. So they started to work out a
210receipt. The receipt took the form of a letter, and it was worded in very
211cryptic language so that the world at large wouldn't know what it was all
212about. And that was called the Balfour Declaration.
213
214The Balfour Declaration was merely Great Britain's promise to pay the
215Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting the United
216States into the war. So this great Balfour Declaration, that you hear so much
217about, is just as phony as a three dollar bill. And I don't think I could make it
218more emphatic than that.
219
220Now, that is where all the trouble started. The United States went in the war.
221The United States crushed Germany. We went in there, and it's history. You
222know what happened. Now, when the war was ended, and the Germans went
223to Paris, to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, there were 117 Jews there,
224as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by Bernard Baruch. I was
225there: I ought to know. Now what happened ?
226
227The Jews at that peace conference, when they were cutting up Germany and
228parceling out Europe to all these nations that claimed a right to a certain part
229of European territory, the Jews said, ?How about Palestine for us?? And
230they produced, for the first time to the knowledge of the Germans, this
231Balfour Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time realized, ? Oh, that
232was the game! That's why the United States came into the war.? And the
233Germans for the first time realized that they were defeated, they suffered this
234terrific reparation that was slapped onto them, because the Zionists wanted
235Palestine and they were determined to get it at any cost.
236
237Now, that brings us up to another very interesting point. When the Germans
238realized this, they naturally resented it. Up to that time, the Jews had never
239been better off in any country in the world than they had been in Germany.
240You had Mr. Rathenau there, who was maybe 100 times as important in
241industry and finance as is Bernard Baruch in this country. You had Mr.
242Balin, who owned the two big steamship lines, the North German Lloyd's
243and the Hamburg-American Lines. You had Mr. Bleichroder, who was the
244banker for the Hohenzollern family. You had the Warburgs in Hamburg,
245who were the big merchant bankers -- the biggest in the world. The Jews
246were doing very well in Germany. No question about that. Now, the
247Germans felt: ?Well, that was quite a sellout.?
248
249It was a sellout that I can best compare -- suppose the United States was at
250war today with the Soviet Union. And we were winning. And we told the
251Soviet Union: "Well, let's quit. We offer you peace terms. Let's forget the
252whole thing." And all of a sudden Red China came into the war as an ally of
253the Soviet Union. And throwing them into the war brought about our defeat.
254A crushing defeat, with reparations the likes of which man's imagination
255cannot encompass.
256
257Imagine, then, after that defeat, if we found out that it was the Chinese in
258this country, our Chinese citizens, who all the time we thought they were
259loyal citizens working with us, were selling us out to the Soviet Union and
260that it was through them that Red China was brought into the war against us.
261How would we feel, in the United States against Chinese ? I don't think that
262one of them would dare show his face on any street. There wouldn't be
263lampposts enough, convenient, to take care of them. Imagine how we would
264feel.
265
266Well, that's how the Germans felt towards these Jews. "We've been so nice
267to them"; and from 1905 on, when the first Communist revolution in Russia
268failed, and the Jews had to scramble out of Russia, they all went to
269Germany. And Germany gave them refuge. And they were treated very
270nicely. And here they sold Germany down the river for no reason at all other
271than they wanted Palestine as a so-called "Jewish commonwealth."
272
273Now, Nahum Sokolow -- all the great leaders, the big names that you read
274about in connection with Zionism today -- they, in 1919, 1920, '21, '22, and
275'23, they wrote in all their papers -- and the press was filled with their
276statements -- that "the feeling against the Jews in Germany is due to the fact
277that they realized that this great defeat was brought about by our intercession
278and bringing the United States into the war against them."
279
280The Jews themselves admitted that. It wasn't that the Germans in 1919
281discovered that a glass of Jewish blood tasted better than Coca-Cola or
282Muenschner Beer. There was no religious feeling. There was no sentiment
283against those people merely on account of their religious belief. It was all
284political. It was economic. It was anything but religious.
285
286Nobody cared in Germany whether a Jew went home and pulled down the
287shades and said ?Shema' Yisrael? or ?Our Father.? No one cared in
288Germany any more than they do in the United States. Now this feeling that
289developed later in Germany was due to one thing: that the Germans held the
290Jews responsible for their crushing defeat, for no reason at all, because
291World War One was started against Germany for no reason for which they
292[Germans] were responsible. They were guilty of nothing. Only of being
293successful. They built up a big navy. They built up world trade.
294
295You must remember, Germany, at the time of Napoleon, at the time of the
296French Revolution, what was the German Reich consisted of 300 -- three
297hundred ! -- small city-states, principalities, dukedoms, and so forth. Three
298hundred little separate political entities. And between that time, between the
299period of... between Napoleon and Bismarck, they were consolidated into
300one state. And within 50 years after that time they became one of the world's
301great powers. Their navy was rivalling Great Britain's, they were doing
302business all over the world, they could undersell anybody and make better
303products. And what happened? What happened as a result of that ?
304
305There was a conspiracy between England, France, and Russia that: "We
306must slap down Germany", because there isn't one historian in the world that
307can find a valid reason why those three countries decided to wipe Germany
308off the map politically. Now, what happened after that ?
309
310When Germany realized that the Jews were responsible for her defeat, they
311naturally resented it. But not a hair on the head of any Jew was harmed. Not
312a single hair. Professor Tansill, of Georgetown University, who had access
313to all the secret papers of the State Department, wrote in his book, and
314quoted from a State Department document written by Hugo Schoenfelt, a
315Jew who Cordell Hull sent to Europe in 1933 to investigate the so-called
316camps of political prisoners. And he wrote back that he found them in very
317fine condition.
318
319They were in excellent shape; everybody treated well. And they were filled
320with Communists. Well, a lot of them were Jews, because the Jews happened
321to be maybe 98 per cent of the Communists in Europe at that time. And there
322were some priests there, and ministers, and labor leaders, Masons, and others
323who had international affiliations.
324
325Now, the Jews sort of tried to keep the lid on this fact. They didn't want the
326world to really understand that they had sold out Germany, and that the
327Germans resented that.
328So they did take appropriate action against them [against the Jews]. They. . .
329shall I say, discriminated against them wherever they could ? They shunned
330them. The same as we would the Chinese, or the Negroes, or the Catholics,
331or anyone in this country who had sold us out to an enemy and brought
332about our defeat.
333
334Now, after a while, the Jews of the world didn't know what to do, so they
335called a meeting in Amsterdam. Jews from every country in the world
336attended in July 1933. And they said to Germany: ?You fire Hitler! And you
337put every Jew back into his former position, whether he was a Communist,
338no matter what he was. You can't treat us that way! And we, the Jews of the
339world, are calling upon you, and serving this ultimatum upon you.? Well, the
340Germans told them... you can imagine. So what did they [the Jews] do?
341They broke up, and Samuel Untermyer, if the name means anything to
342people here... (You want to ask a question? --- Uh, there were no
343Communists in Germany at that time, they were called 'Social Democrats.)
344
345Well, I don't want to go by what they were called. We're now using English
346words, and what they were called in Germany is not very material. . . but
347they were Communists, because in 1917, the Communists took over
348Germany for a few days. Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht, and a
349group of Jews in Germany took over the government for three days. In fact,
350when the Kaiser ended the war, he fled to Holland because he thought the
351Communists were going to take over Germany as they did Russia, and that
352he was going to meet the same fate that the Czar did in Russia. So he left and
353went to Holland for safety and for security.
354
355Now, at that time, when the Communist threat in Germany was quashed, it
356was quiet, the Jews were working, still trying to get back into their former --
357their status -- and the Germans fought them in every way they could, without
358hurting a hair on anyone's head. The same as one group, the Prohibitionists,
359fought the people who were interested in liquor, and they didn't fight one
360another with pistols, they did it every way they could.
361
362Well, that's the way they were fighting the Jews in Germany. And, at that
363time, mind you, there were 80 to 90 million Germans and there were only
364460,000 Jews. . . less than one half of one percent of Germany were Jews.
365And yet, they controlled all of the press, they controlled most of the
366economy, because they had come in and with cheap money -- you know the
367way the Mark was devalued -- they bought up practically everything.
368
369Well, in 1933 when Germany refused to surrender, mind you, to the World
370Conference of Jews in Amsterdam, they broke up and Mr. Untermeyer came
371back to the United States -- who was the head of the American delegation
372and the president of the whole conference -- and he went from the steamer to
373ABC and made a radio broadcast throughout the United States in which he
374said:
375
376"The Jews of the world now declare a Holy War against Germany. We are
377now engaged in a sacred conflict against the Germans. And we are going to
378starve them into surrender. We are going to use a world-wide boycott against
379them, that will destroy them because they are dependent upon their export
380business."
381
382And it is a fact that two thirds of Germany's food supply had to be imported,
383and it could only be imported with the proceeds of what they exported. Their
384labor. So if Germany could not export, two thirds of Germany's population
385would have to starve. There just was not enough food for more than one
386third of the population.
387
388Now in this declaration, which I have here, it was printed on page -- a whole
389page -- in the New York Times on August 7, 1933, Mr. Samuel Untermyer
390boldly stated that: "this economic boycott is our means of self-defense.
391President Roosevelt has advocated its use in the NRA" . [National Recovery
392Administration] -- which some of you may remember, where everybody was
393to be boycotted unless they followed the rules laid down by the New Deal,
394which of course was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court at that
395time.
396
397Nevertheless, the Jews of the world declared a boycott against Germany, and
398it was so effective that you couldn't find one thing in any store anywhere in
399the world with the words "made in Germany" on it.
400
401In fact, an executive of the Woolworth Company told me that they had to
402dump millions of dollars worth of crockery and dishes into the river; that
403their stores were boycotted. If anyone came in and found a dish marked
404"made in Germany," they were picketed with signs: "Hitler", "murderer",
405and so forth, and like -- something like these sit-ins that are taking place in
406the South.
407
408R. H. Macy, which is controlled by a family called Strauss who also happen
409to be Jews. . . a woman found stockings there which came from Chemnitz,
410marked "made in Germany". Well, they were cotton stockings. They may
411have been there 20 years, because since I've been observing women's legs in
412the last twenty years, I haven't seen a pair with cotton stockings on them. So
413Macy ! I saw Macy boycotted, with hundreds of people walking around with
414signs saying "MURDERS" and "HITLERITES", and so forth.
415
416Now up to that time, not one hair on the head of any Jew had been hurt in
417Germany. There was no suffering, there was no starvation, there was no
418murder, there was nothing.
419
420Now, that... naturally, the Germans said, "Why, who are these people to
421declare a boycott against us and throw all our people out of work, and our
422industries come to a standstill ? Who are they to do that to us?" They
423naturally resented it. Certainly they painted swastikas on stores owned by
424Jews.
425
426Why should a German go in and give their money to a storekeeper who was
427part of a boycott who was going to starve Germany into surrender into the
428Jews of the world, who were going to dictate who their premier or chancellor
429was to be? Well, it was ridiculous.
430
431That continued for some time, and it wasn't until 1938, when a young Jew
432from Poland walked into the German embassy in Paris and shot one of the
433officials [a German official] that the Germans really started to get rough with
434the Jews in Germany. And you found them then breaking windows and
435having street fights and so forth.
436
437Now, for anyone to say that -- I don't like to use the word 'anti-Semitism'
438because it's meaningless, but it means something to you still, so I'll have to
439use it -- the only reason that there was any feeling in Germany against Jews
440was that they were responsible: number one, for World War One; number
441two, for this world-wide boycott, and number three -- did I say for World
442War One, they were responsible? For the boycott -- and also for World War
443II, because after this thing got out of hand, it was absolutely necessary for
444the Jews and Germany to lock horns in a war to see which one was going to
445survive.
446
447In the meanwhile, I had lived in Germany, and I knew that the Germans had
448decided [that] Europe is going to be Christian or Communist: there is no in
449between. It's going to be Christian or it's going to be Communist. And the
450Germans decided: "We're going to keep it Christian if possible". And they
451started to re-arm.
452
453And there intention was -- by that time the United States had recognized the
454Soviet Union, which they did in November, 1933 -- the Soviet Union was
455becoming very powerful, and Germany realized: "Well, our turn is going to
456come soon, unless we are strong." The same as we in this country are saying
457today, "Our turn is going to come soon, unless we are strong."
458And our government is spending 83 or 84 billion dollars of your money for
459defense, they say.Defense against whom ? Defense against 40,000 little Jews
460in Moscow that took over Russia, and then, in their devious ways, took over
461control of many other governments of the world.
462
463Now, for this country to now be on the verge of a Third World War, from
464which we cannot emerge a victor, is something that staggers my
465imagination. I know that nuclear bombs are measured in terms of megatons.
466A megaton is a term used to describe one million tons of TNT. One million
467tons of TNT is a megaton. Now, our nuclear bombs have a capacity of 10
468megatons, or 10 million tons of TNT. That was when they were first
469developed five or six years ago. Now, the nuclear bombs that are being
470developed have a capacity of 200 megatons, and God knows how many
471megatons the nuclear bombs of the Soviet Union have.
472
473So, what do we face now ? If we trigger a world war that may develop into a
474nuclear war, humanity is finished. And why will it take place ? It will take
475place because Act III... the curtain goes up on Act III. Act I was World War
476I. Act II was World War II. Act III is going to be World War III.
477
478The Jews of the world, the Zionists and their co-religionists everywhere, are
479determined that they are going to again use the United States to help them
480permanently retain Palestine as their foothold for their world government.
481Now, that is just as true as I am standing here, because not alone have I read
482it, but many here have read it, and it's known all over the world.
483
484Now, what are we going to do ? The life you save may be your son's. Your
485boys may be on their way to that war tonight; and you you don't know it any
486more than you knew that in 1916 in London the Zionists made a deal with
487the British War Cabinet to send your sons to war in Europe. Did you know it
488at that time? Not a person in the United States knew it. You weren't
489permitted to know it.
490
491Who knew it ? President Wilson knew it. Colonel House knew it. Other 's
492knew it. Did I know it ? I had a pretty good idea of what was going on: I was
493liaison to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., in the 1912 campaign when President
494Wilson was elected, and there was talk around the office there.
495
496I was 'confidential man' to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., who was chairman of the
497Finance Committee, and I was liaison between him and Rollo Wells, the
498treasurer. So I sat in these meetings with President Wilson at the head of the
499table, and all the others, and I heard them drum into President Wilson's brain
500the graduated income tax and what has become the Federal Reserve, and also
501indoctrinate him with the Zionist movement.
502
503Justice Brandeis and President Wilson were just as close as the two fingers
504on this hand, and President Woodrow Wilson was just as incompetent when
505it came to determining what was going on as a newborn baby. And that's
506how they got us into World War I, while we all slept. They sent our boys
507over there to be slaughtered. For what? So the Jews can have Palestine as
508their "commonwealth." They've fooled you so much that you don't know
509whether you're coming or going.
510
511Now any judge, when he charges a jury, says, "Gentlemen, any witness that
512you find has told a single lie, you can disregard all his testimony." That is
513correct. I don't know from what state you come, but in New York state that
514is the way a judge addresses a jury. If that witness said one lie, disregard his
515testimony.
516
517Now, what are the facts about the Jews ?
518
519The Jews -- I call them Jews to you, because they are known as Jews. I don't
520call them Jews. I refer to them as so-called Jews, because I know what they
521are. If Jesus was a Jew, there isn't a Jew in the world today, and if those
522people are Jews, certainly our Lord and Savior was not one of them, and I
523can prove that.
524
525Now what happened ? The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of
526the world's population of those people who call themselves Jews, were
527originally Khazars.
528
529They were a warlike tribe that lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were
530so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe
531-- and to reduce this so you don't get too confused about the history of
532Eastern Europe -- they set up this big Khazar kingdom: 800,000 square
533miles. Only, there was no Russia, there were no other countries, and the
534Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so
535powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars
536would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were.
537Now, they were phallic worshippers, which is filthy. I don't want to go into
538the details of that now. It was their religion the way it was the religion of
539many other Pagans or Barbarians elsewhere in the world. The Khazar king
540became so disgusted with the degeneracy of his kingdom that he decided to
541adopt a so-called monotheistic faith - either Christianity, Islam -- the moslem
542faith -- or what is known today as Judaism, which is really Talmudism. By
543spinning a top, and calling out "eeny, meeny, miney, moe," he picked out socalled
544Judaism. And that became the state religion.
545
546And he sent down to the Talmudic schools of Pumbedita and Sura and
547brought up thousands of these rabbis with their teachings, and opened up
548synagogues and schools in his kingdom of 800,000 people -- 800,000
549thousand square miles -- and maybe ten to twenty million people; and they
550became what we call Jews. There wasn't one of them that had an ancestor
551that ever put a toe in the Holy Land, not only in Old Testament history, but
552back to the beginning of time. Not one of them! And yet they come to the
553Christians and they ask us to support their armed insurrection in Palestine by
554saying:
555
556"Well, you want to certainly help repatriate God's chosen people to their
557Promised Land, their ancestral homeland, It's your Christian duty. We gave
558you one of our boys as your Lord and Savior. You now go to church on
559Sunday, and kneel and you worship a Jew, and we're Jews."
560
561Well, they were pagan Khazars who were converted just the same as the
562Irish [were converted]. And it's just as ridiculous to call them "people of the
563Holy Land," as it would be... there are 54 million Chinese Moslems. Fifty
564four million ! And, Mohammed only died in 620 A.D., so in that time, 54
565million Chinese have accepted Islam as their religious belief.
566
567Now imagine, in China, 2,000 miles away from Arabia, where the city of
568Mecca is located, where Mohammed was born... imagine if the 54 million
569Chinese called themselves 'Arabs'. Imagine ! Why, you'd say they're lunatics.
570Any man that believes that those 54 million Chinese are Arabs must be
571crazy. All they did was adopt as a religious faith; a belief that had its origin
572in Mecca, in Arabia.
573
574The same as the Irish. When the Irish became Christians, nobody dumped
575them in the ocean and imported from the Holy Land a new crop of
576inhabitants that were Christians. That were christians of flesh and blood.
577They weren't different people. They were the same people, but they had
578accepted Christianity as a religious faith.
579
580Now, these Pagans, these Asiatics, these Turko-Finns... they were a
581Mongoloid race who were forced out of Asia into eastern Europe. They
582likewise, because their king took the faith -- Talmudic faith -- they had no
583choice. Just the same as in Spain: If the king was Catholic, everybody had to
584be a Catholic. If not, you had to get out of Spain. So everybody -- they lived
585on the land just like the trees and the bushes; a human being belonged to the
586land under their feudal system -- so they [Khazars] all became what we call
587today, Jews !
588
589Now imagine how silly it was for the Christians... for the great Christian
590countries of the world to say, "We're going to use our power, our prestige to
591help repatriate God's chosen people to their ancestral homeland, their
592Promised Land."
593
594Now, could there be a bigger lie than that ? Could there be a bigger lie than
595that ?
596
597And because they control the newspapers, the magazines, the radio, the
598television, the book publishing business, they have the ministers in the
599pulpit, they have the politicians on the soap boxes talking the same language
600... so naturally you'd believe black is white if you heard it often enough. You
601wouldn't call black black anymore -- you'd start to call black white. And
602nobody could blame you.
603
604Now, that is one of the great lies... that is the foundation of all the misery
605that has befallen the world. Because after two wars fought in Europe --
606World War I and World War II -- if it wasn't possible for them to live in
607peace and harmony with the people in Europe, like their brethren are living
608in the United States, what were the two wars fought for ? Did they have to --
609like you flush the toilet -- because they couldn't get along, did they have to
610say, "Well, we're going back to our homeland and you Christians can help
611us" ?
612
613I can't understand yet how the Christians in Europe could have been that
614dumb because every theologian, every history teacher, knew the things that
615I'm telling you. But, they naturally bribed them, shut them up with money,
616stuffed their mouths with money, and now... I don't care whether you know
617all this or not. It doesn't make any difference to me whether you know all
618these facts or not, but it does make a difference to me. I've got, in my family,
619boys that will have to be in the next war, and I don't want them to go and
620fight and die... like they died in Korea. Like they died in Japan. Like they've
621died all over the world. For what ?
622
623To help crooks hold on to what they stole from innocent people who had
624been in peaceful possession of that land, those farms, those homes for
625hundreds and maybe thousands of years ? Is that why the United States must
626go to war ? Because the Democratic Party wants New York State -- the
627electoral vote? Illinois, the electoral vote ? And Pennsylvania, the electoral
628vote ?... which are controlled by the Zionists and their co-religionists ?... the
629balance of power ?
630
631In New York City there are 400,000 members of the liberal party, all
632Zionists and their co-religionists. And New York State went for Kennedy by
633400,000 votes. Now, I don't blame Mr. Kennedy. I'm fond of Mr. Kennedy. I
634think he's a great man. I think he can really pull us out of this trouble if we
635get the facts to him. And I believe he knows a great deal more than his
636appointments indicate he knows. He's playing with the enemy. Like when
637you go fishing, you've got to play with the fish. Let 'em out and pull 'em in.
638Let 'em out and pull 'em in. But knowing Mr. Kennedy's father, and how
639well informed he is on this whole subject, and how close Kennedy is to his
640father, I don't think Mr. Kennedy is totally in the dark.
641
642But I do think that it is the duty of every mother, every loyal Christian ,
643every person that regards the defense of this country as a sacred right, that
644they communicate -- not with their congressman, not with their senator, but
645with President Kennedy. And tell him, "I do not think you should send my
646boy, or our boys, wearing the uniform of the United States of America, and
647under the flag that you see here, our red, white and blue, to fight there to
648help keep in the hands of these that which they have stolen". I think
649everyone should not alone write once, but keep writing and get your friends
650to write.
651
652Now, I could go on endlessly, and tell you these things to support what I
653have just asked you to do. But I don't think it's necessary to do that. You're
654above the average group in intelligence and I don't think it's necessary to
655impress this any more.
656
657But... I want to tell you one more thing. You talk about... "Oh, the Jews.
658Why the Jews ? Christianity. Why, we got Christianity from the Jews and
659the Jews gave us Jesus, and the Jews gave us our religion". But do you know
660that on the day of atonement that you think is so sacred to them, that on that
661day... and I was one of them ! This is not hearsay. I'm not here to be a
662rabble-rouser. I'm here to give you facts.
663
664When, on the Day of Atonement, you walk into a synagogue, the very first
665prayer that you recite, you stand -- and it's the only prayer for which you
666stand -- and you repeat three times a short prayer. The Kol Nidre. In that
667prayer, you enter into an agreement with God Almighty that any oath, vow,
668or pledge that you may make during the next twelve months -- any oath, vow
669or pledge that you may take during the next twelve months shall be null and
670void.
671
672The oath shall not be an oath; the vow shall not be a vow; the pledge shall
673not be a pledge. They shall have no force and effect, and so forth and so on.
674And further than that, the Talmud teaches: "Don't forget -- whenever you
675take an oath, vow, and pledge -- remember the Kol Nidre prayer that you
676recited on the Day of Atonement, and that exempts you from fulfilling that".
677How much can you depend on their loyalty ? You can depend upon their
678loyalty as much as the Germans depended upon it in 1916.
679
680And we're going to suffer the same fate as Germany suffered, and for the
681same reason. You can't depend upon something as insecure as the leadership
682that is not obliged to respect an oath, vow or pledge. Now I could go on and
683recite many other things to you, but I would have a little respect for your
684time, and you want to really, uh, get through with all of this. Tomorrow's
685going to be a long day.
686
687Now I want to say one thing. You ask me... well, you think to yourself: "well
688how did this fellow get mixed up in this the way he got mixed up in it."
689
690Well, I opened my mouth in 1945, and I took big pages in newspapers and
691tried to tell the American people what I'm telling you. And one newspaper
692after another refused the advertisement. And when I couldn't find a
693newspaper to take them -- I paid cash, not credit -- what happened ? My
694lawyer told me, "There's an editor over in Jersey with a paper who will take
695your announcement". So, I was brought together with Mr. McGinley, and
696that's how I met him.
697
698So somebody told me the lawyer who introduced me, who was the son of the
699Dean of the Methodist Bishop, he said: "Well, I think he's a little anti-
700Semitic. I don't know whether I can get him over here. So he brought him
701over to my apartment and we hit it off wonderfully, and have since then.
702Now, I say this, and I say it without any qualifications. I say it without any
703reservations. And I say it without any hesitation. . . if it wasn't for the work
704that Mr. Conley McGinley did with "Common Sense" -- he's been sending
705out from 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 every year -- if it wasn't for the work he's
706been doing sending those out for fifteen years now, we would already be a
707communist country. Nobody has done what he did to light fires. Many of the
708other active persons in this fight learned all about if for the first time through
709"Common Sense".
710
711Now, I have been very active in helping him all I could. I'm not as flush as I
712was. I cannot go on spending the money... I'm not going to take up a
713collection. Don't worry. I see five people getting up to leave. (laughter)
714I haven't got the money that I used to spend. I used to print a quarter of a
715million of them out of my own pocket and send them out. Mr. McGinley,
716when I first met him, had maybe 5,000 printed and circulated them locally.
717So I said, "With what you know and what I know, we can really do a good
718job". So I started printing in outside shops of big newspaper companies, a
719quarter of a million, and paid for them. Well, there's always a bottom to the
720barrel. I suppose we've all reached that at times.
721
722I'm not so poor that I can't live without working and that's what worries the
723Anti-Defamation League. I can just get by without going and asking for a
724job or getting on the bread line. But Mr. McGinley is working. He's sick and
725he's going at this stronger than ever. And all I want to say is that they want
726to close up "Common Sense" more than any other single thing in the whole
727world, as a death-blow to the fight Christians are making to survive.
728
729So I just want to tell you this. All they do is circulate rumors: "Mr. Benjamin
730H. Freedman is the wealthy backer of 'Common Sense'." The reason they do
731that is to discourage the people in the United States: don't send any money to
732Common Sense. They don't need it. The've got the wealthy Mr. Freedman as
733a backer. That all has strategy. They don't want to advertise me so that
734people that have real estate or securities to sell will come and call on me.
735
736They just want people to lay off "Common Sense". And all I'm telling you is,
737I do try to help him, but I haven't been able to. And I will be very honest.
738One thing I won't do is lie. In the last year I've had so much sickness in my
739family that I could not give him one dollar.
740
741How he's managed to survive, I don't know. God alone knows. And he must
742be in God's care because how he's pulled through his sickness and with his
743financial troubles, I don't know. But that press is working... and every two
744weeks about a hundred or a hundred-fifty-thousand of "Common Sense" go
745out with a new message. And if that information could be multiplied... if
746people that now get it could buy ten or twenty five, or fifty, give them
747around. Plow that field. Sow those seeds, you don't know which will take
748root, but for God's sake, this is our last chance.
749
750[Freedman then discusses the importance of people forgoing unnecessary
751purchases to 'buy more stuff', play golf, etc., and use the money to keep
752"Common Sense" going. He explains that the paper is going in debt; could
753be closed down and he (Freedman) no longer has the funds, having spent
754some $2,400,000 in his attempt to bring the information to the American
755public and elected officials. He then asks for questions from the audience.]
756
757~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
758{Question inaudible]
759
760Freedman: All right, I'll comment on that. This is rather deep, but you all
761have a very high degree of intelligence, so I'm going to make an attempt. In
762the time of Bible history, there was a geographic area known as Judea. Judea
763was a province of the Roman Empire. Now, a person who lived in Judea was
764known as a Judean, and in Latin it was Judaeus; in Greek it was Judaius.
765
766Those are the two words, in Greek and Latin, for a Judean.
767
768Now, in Latin and Greek there is no such letter as 'j', and the first syllable of
769Judaeus and Judaius starts 'ghu'. Now, when the Bible was written, it was
770first written in Greek, Latin, Panantic, Syriac, Aramaic... all those languages.
771Never Was the word Jew in any of them because the word didn't exist. Judea
772was the country, and the people were Judeans, and Jesus was referred to only
773as a Judean. I've seen those early... the earliest scripts available.
774
775In 1345, a man by the name of Wycliffe in England thought that it was time
776to translate the Bible into English. There was no English edition of the Bible
777because who the Devil could read ? It was only the educated church people
778who could read Latin and Greek, Syriac, Aramaic and the other languages.
779Anyhow, Wycliffe translated the Bible into English. And he did. But in it, he
780had to look around for some words for Judaeas and Judaius.
781
782There was no English word because Judea had passed out of existence.
783There was no Judea. People had long ago forgotten that. So in the first
784translation he used the word, in referring to Jesus, as 'gyu', "jew". At the
785time, there was no printing press.
786
787Now, between 1345 and the 17th century, when the press came into use, that
788word passed through so many changes... I have them all here. If you want I
789can read them to you. I will. That word 'gyu' which was in the Wycliffe
790Bible became. . . first it was ' gyu ', then ' giu ', then ' iu ' (because the ' i ' in
791Latin is pronounced like the ' j '. Julius Caesar is ' Iul ' because there is no 'j'
792in Latin) then ' iuw ', then ' ieuu ', then ' ieuy ', then ' iwe ', then ' iow ', then '
793iewe ', all in Bibles as time went on. Then ' ieue ', then ' iue ', then ' ive ', and
794then ' ivw ', and finally in the 18th century... ' jew '. Jew.
795
796All the corrupt and contracted forms for Judaius, and Judaeas in Latin. Now,
797there was no such thing as 'Jew', and any theologian -- I've lectured in maybe
79820 of the most prominent theological seminaries in this country, and two in
799Europe -- there was no such word as Jew. There only was Judea, and Jesus
800was a Judean and the first English use of a word in an English bible to
801describe him was 'gyu' -- Jew. A contracted and shortened form of Judaeus,
802just the same as we call a laboratory a 'lab', and gasoline 'gas'... a tendency to
803short up. [A few words are missing here]
804
805But [a few words are missing here] in England there were no public schools;
806people didn't know how to read; it looked like a scrambled alphabet so they
807made a short word out of it. Now for a theologian to say that you can't harm
808the Jews, is just ridiculous. I'd like to know where in the scriptures it says
809that. I'd like to know the text.
810
811Look at what happened to Germany for touching Jews. What would you, as
812a citizen of the United States, do to people who did to you what the so-called
813Jews -- the Pollacks and Litvaks and Litzianers -- they weren't Jews, as I just
814explained to you. They were Eastern Europeans who'd been converted to
815Talmudism. There was no such thing as Judaism. Judaism was a name given
816in recent years to this religion known in Bible history as Torah [inaudible].
817No Jew or no educated person ever heard of Judaism. It didn't exist. They
818pulled it out of the air... a meaningless word.
819
820Just like 'anti-Semitic'. The Arab is a Semite. And the Christians talk about
821people who don't like Jews as anti-Semites, and they call all the Arabs anti-
822Semites. The only Semites in the world are the Arabs. There isn't one Jew
823who's a Semite. They're all Turkothean Mongoloids. The Eastern european
824Jews. So, they brainwashed the public, and if you will invite me to meet this
825reverend who told you these things, I'll convince him and it'll be one step in
826the right direction. I'll go wherever I have to go to meet him.
827
828~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
829
830Yes, ma'am. Well... I can answer that. First of all, your first premise is
831wrong. Your first premise that all the Jews are loyal to each other is wrong.
832Because, the Eastern European Jews outnumber all the rest by so many that
833they create the impression that they are the Jewish 'race'; that they are the
834Jewish nation; that they are the Jewish people. . . and the Christians swallow
835it like a cream puff.
836
837But in 1844 the German rabbis called a conference of
838rabbis from all over he world for the purpose of abolishing the Kol Nidre
839from the Day of tonement religious ceremony. In Brunswick, Germany, where that
840conference was held in 1844, there was almost a terrific riot. A civil war.
841The Eastern Europeans said, "What the hell. We should give up Kol Nidre ?
842That gives us our grip on our people. We give them a franchise so they can
843tell the Christians, 'Go to hell. We'll make any deal you want', but they don't
844have to carry it out. That gives us our grip on our people". So, they're not so
845united, and if you knew the feeling that exists.
846
847Now, I'll also show you from an official document by the man responsible
848for. . . uh, who baptized this race. Here is a paper that we obtained from the
849archives of the Zionist organization in New York City, and in it is the
850manuscript by Sir James A. Malcolm, who -- on behalf of the British
851Cabinet -- negotiated the deal with these Zionists.
852
853And in here he says that all the jews in England were against it. The Jews
854who had been there for years, the [inaudible - probably Sephardim], those
855who had Portuguese and Spanish ad Dutch ancestry... who were monotheists
856and believed in that religious belief. That was while the Eastern European
857Jews were still running around in the heart of Asia and then came into
858Europe. But they had no more to do with them than. . . can we talk about a
859Christian 'race' ? or a Christian religion ?... or are the Christians united ?
860So the same disunity is among the Jews. And I'll show you in this same
861document that when they went to France to try and get the French
862government to back that Zionist venture, there was only one Jew in France
863who was for it. That was Rothschild, and they did it because they were
864interested in the oil and the Suez Canal.

868[Question inaudible]
869 
870Freedman: You know why ? Because if they don't,
871they're decked up. They come around and they tell you how much you must
872give, and if you don't . . . oh, you're anti-Semitic. Then none of their friends
873will have anything to do with them, and they start a smear campaign... and
874you have got to give.
875
876In New York city, in the garment center, there are twelve manufacturers in
877the building. And when the drive is on to sell Israel Bonds, the United
878Jewish Drive, they put a big scoreboard with the names of the firms and
879opposite them, as you make the amount they put you down for, they put a
880gold star after the name. Then, the buyers are told, "When you come into
881that building to call on someone and they haven't got a gold star, tell them
882that you won't buy from them until they have the gold star". BLACKMAIL.
883I don't know what else you can call it.
884
885Then what do they do ? They tell you it's for 'humanitarian purposes' and
886they send maybe $8 billion dollars to Israel, tax exempt, tax deductible. So if
887they hadn't sent that eight billion dollars to Israel, seven billion of it would
888have gone into the U.S. Treasury as income tax. So what happens ? That
889seven billion dollars deficit -- that air pocket -- the gullible Christians have
890to make up.
891
892They put a bigger tax on gas or bread or corporation tax. Somebody has to
893pay the housekeeping expenses for the government. So why do you let these
894people send their money over there to buy guns to drive people out of their
895ancient homeland ? And you say, "Oh, well. The poor Jews. They have no
896place to go and they've been persecuted all their lives". They've never been
897persecuted for their religion. And I wish I had two rows of Rabbis here to
898challenge me. Never once, in all of history, have they been persecuted for
899their religion.
900
901Do you know why the Jews were driven out of England ? King Edward the
902First in 1285 drove them out, and they never came back until the Cromwell
903Revolution which was financed by the Rothschilds. For four-hundred years
904there wasn't a Jew. But do you know why they were driven out ? Because in
905the Christian faith and the Moslem faith it's a sin to charge 'rent' for the use
906of money. In other words - what we call interest [usury] is a sin.
907
908So the Jews had a monopoly in England and they charged so much interest,
909and when the Lords and Dukes couldn't pay, they [Jews] foreclosed. And
910they were creating so much trouble that the king of England finally made
911himself their partner, because when they they came to foreclose, some of
912these dukes bumped off the Jews. . . the money-lenders. So the king finally
913said -- and this is all in history, look up Tianson [Tennyson?] or Rourke, the
914History of the Jews in England; two books you can find in your library.
915
916When the king found out what the trouble was all about, and how much
917money they were making, he declared himself a fifty-percent partner of the
918money lenders. Edward the First. And for many years, one-third of the
919revenues of the British Treasury came from the fifty-percent interest in
920money-lending by the Jews.
921
922But it got worse and worse. So much worse that when the Lords and Dukes
923kept killing the money-lenders, the King then said, "I declare myself the heir
924of all the money-lenders. If they're killed you have to pay me, because I'm
925his sole heir". That made so much trouble, because the King had to go out
926and collect the money with an army, so he told the Jews "get the hell out of
927here". There were 15,000 of them, and they had to get out, and they went
928across to Ireland, and that's how Ireland got to be part of the United
929Kingdom.
930
931When King Edward found out what they were doing, he decided to take
932Ireland for himself before someone else did. He sent Robert Southgard with
933a mercenary army and conquered Ireland. So, show me one time where a
934Jew was persecuted in any country because of his religion. It has never
935happened. It's always their impact on the political, social, or economic
936customs and traditions of the community in which they settle.
937
938~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
939
940[Question inaudible] Freedman: Yes, sir. Well, they say most of those things
941themselves. It was unnecessary for Benjamin Franklin to say it. Most of
942those things they say themselves. But Benjamin Franklin observed, and by
943hearsay understood, what was happening in Europe.
944
945When Russia, in 920 was formed, and gradually surrounded the Khazar
946Kingdom, and absorbed them, most of the well-to-do Khazars fled to
947Western Europe and brought with them the very things to which you object
948and I object and a lot of other people object. The customs, the habits, the
949instincts with which they were endowed.
950
951Now, when Benjamin Franklin referred to them as Jews because that's the
952name that they went by. Thats the name that they took. And the Christians,
953when they first heard that these people who were fleeing from Russia -- who
954they were -- that they had practiced this Talmudic faith -- the Christians in
955Western Europe said, "They must be the remnants of the lost ten tribes!"
956And Mr. Grutz, the greatest historian amongst the Jews, said that -- and he's
957probably as good an authority on that subject as there is. So when Ben
958Franklin came to Europe in the 18th century, he already saw the results of
959what these people had done after they left their homeland. And every word
960of it is true... they themselves say it. I can give you half a dozen books
961they've written in which they say the same thing: When they have money
962they become tyrants. And when they become defeated, they become ruthless.
963They're only barbarians. They're the descendants of Asiatic Mongols and
964they will do anything to accomplish their purpose.
965
966What right did they have to take over Russia the way they did ? The Czar
967had abdicated nine or ten months before that. There was no need for them. . .
968they were going to have a constitutional monarchy. But they didn't want that.
969When the constitutional monarchy was to assemble in November, they
970mowed them all down and established the Soviet Union.
971
972There was no need for that. But they thought, "Now is the time", and if you
973you will look in the Encyclopedia Britannica under the word 'Bolshevism',
974you'll find the five laws there that Lenin put down for a successful
975revolution. One of them is, "Wait for the right time, and then give them
976everything you've got". It would pay you to read that.
977
978You'd also find that Mr. Harold Blacktree, who wrote the article for the
979Encyclopedia Britannica states that the Jews conceived and created and
980cultivated the Communist movement. And that their energy made them the
981spearhead of the movement. Harold Blacktree wrote it and no one knew
982more about Communism than he. And the Encyclopedia Britannica for 25
983years has been printing it.
984
985~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
986
987[Question inaudible]
988 
989Freedman: Well, I can't advocate that you do anything
990that's criminal, but I can tell you this. You can start what I call an endless
991chain. If you can get your friends to write, objectively, here is the statement:
992Mr. Kennedy's office gave me this himself. Mr. Smith, who succeeded Mr.
993Kennedy, took over his office -- was in his office -- and gave me this. He
994delivered this on the 25th, and it says here:
995
996"For release to AM (that means morning papers), August 25th". "Israel is
997here to stay. It is a national commitment, special obligation of the
998Democratic Party. The White House must take the lead. American
999intervention. We will act promptly and decisively against any nation in the
1000Middle East which attacks its neighbor. I propose that we make clear to both
1001Israel and the Arab states our guarantee that we will act with whatever force
1002and speed are necessary to halt any aggression by any nation".
1003
1004Well, do you call the return of people to their homeland [the Arab
1005Palestinians] aggression ? Is Mr. Kennedy going to do that ? Suppose three
1006million Mexicans came into Texas and drove the six million Texans into the
1007deserts of Arizona and New Mexico. Suppose these Mexicans were slipped
1008in there armed -- the Texans were disarmed -- and one night they drove them
1009all out of Texas and declared themselves the Republic of the Alamo. What
1010would the United States say ?
1011
1012Would we say it's aggression for these Texans to try to get their homes back
1013from the Mexican thieves ? Suppose the Negroes in Alabama were secretly
1014armed by the Soviets and overnight they rose up and drove all the whites
1015into the swamps of Mississippi and Georgia and Florida. . . drove them out
1016completely, and declared themselves the Republic of Ham, or the Republic
1017of something-or-other. Would we call it aggression if these people, the
1018whites of Alabama, tried to go back to their homes ?
1019
1020Would we. . . what would we think if the soviet Union said, "No, those
1021Negroes now occupy them ! Leave them there!", or "No, those Mexicans are
1022in Texas. they declared themselves a sovereign state. Leave them there. You
1023have plenty of room in Utah and Nevada. Settle somewhere else".
1024
1025Would we call it aggression if the Alabama whites or the Texans wanted to
1026go back to their homes ? So now, you've got to write to President Kennedy
1027and say, "We do not consider it aggression in the sense that you use the
1028word, if these people want to return to their homes as the United Nations --
1029fifteen times in the last twelve years -- called upon the Zionists in occupation
1030of Palestine to allow the Arab Palestinians to return to their former homes
1031and farms".
