German Police Smash Up Palestine Congress
On
the eve of the First World War Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Secretary uttered
the immortal phrase that summed up what was to come, when he said
‘The lamps are
going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.’
I think if Judge Silas Reid is going to start imprisoning jurors for coming up with verdicts for the wrong reasons, he should also deny them food & water whilst they’re in gaol, to really lean into that ‘17th century judicial tyrant’ energy https://t.co/tSZZDbSa4I pic.twitter.com/Y0mdBpPX1F

We
could well say the same today. Patrick Devlin, a former Law Lord, wrote
in his book Trial by Jury (1956) that
the jury system was ‘the lamp that shows
that freedom lives”. That too is under threat from judges like Silas Reid
who threatened
a jury at the Old Bailey with prosecution if they allowed their consciences to
interfere with the verdict. Reid’s action were an echo of the famous case of Bushell’s
in 1670, when a jury was imprisoned for 2 days and nights without ‘meat, drink, fire or tobacco’, because
they refused to return a guilty verdict.
But
it is not only in Britain that the lamp of liberty is in danger of being
extinguished. In Germany, a state which 80 years ago was exterminating millions
of people it classed as subhuman, 2,500 Police forcibly
closed a Palestine Congress in Berlin, banning from the country the former
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.

Germany’s
Support for Israel Mirrors Nazi Germany’s Support for Zionism
Today
the German state purports to be pro-Jewish but when it comes to Jewish
anti-Zionists, the German State is following exactly the same path as the Nazis took 89 years ago. The Nazis too
distinguished between Zionists, (good Jews) and anti-Zionists (bad Jews).
On
28 January 1935 Reinhard Heydrich, whom Gerard Reitlinger described as the ‘real engineer of the final solution’
issued a directive:
The activity of the Zionist-oriented youth
organisations that are engaged in the occupational restructuring of the Jews …
lies in the interest of the National Socialist state’s leadership. (These
organizations) are not to be treated with that strictness that it is necessary
to apply to the members of the so-called German-Jewish organizations
(assimilationists).
This can be found in Lucy Dawidowicz’s War Against the Jews
(p.118).
The result was that the
activities of Zionist groups were supervised with ‘more benevolence’ than comparable activities by non-Zionist Jewish
groups. The Gestapo and the SD (SS Security Service) ‘place(d) no restrictions on Zionist organisations.’ [Herbert Strauss, pp. 352-3.,
Jewish Emigration from Germany: Nazi Policies and Jewish Responses]
In May 1935 Das Schwarze Korps,
the paper of the SS, wrote that:
the Zionists adhere to a strict racial
position and by emigrating to Palestine they are helping to build their own
Jewish state.... The assimilation-minded Jews deny their race and insist on
their loyalty to Germany or claim to be Christians because they have been
baptized, in order to subvert National Socialist principles.
On
26 September 1935 in Das Schwarze Korps Heydrich wrote that the German government
Is in agreement with the great spiritual
movement within Jewry itself, Zionism, whose position is based on the
recognition of the unity of Jewry throughout the world, and the rejection of
all ideas of mixing in. [Francis Nicosia’s Zionism
and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany].
Heydrich was the Deputy to Heinrich Himmler, the head
of the SS and the second most powerful man in Germany to Hitler himself.
Ian Lustick, an Israeli political scientist,
described in The Holocaust in Israeli Political Culture, (p.150) how, in the Eichmann Trial
Extraordinary precautions’ were taken to prevent the name of Hans Globke, the closest advisor to Konrad Adenaeur, the German Chancellor, from being made public.
In
1936 Globke, a senior official at the Interior Ministry, wrote a legal
commentary on the Nuremberg Laws which became standard in Nazi Germany’s
courts. It stipulated that sexual relations between Aryans and non-Aryans was a
crime even if they took place outside Germany. In 1938 he introduced a regulation requiring Jews
to take the first names, Israel and Sarah.
In
1941 Globke took part in drawing up
an ordinance that stripped Jews in the conquered nations of their citizenship
and allowed their possessions to be confiscated. A legal precondition for the
Holocaust. ‘Hitler’s
former henchman, was true architect of modern Germany’, The Times, 4.3.21.
Globke
also played a key role in the development of Israel’s nuclear weapons.
Protecting Israeli-German military and financial relations was paramount.[Lustick, fn. 27 p.150]
Israel was determined to avoid a little matter like the role of ex-Nazi
officials in the new German state coming between Israel and Germany. [ Lars Petersson, Hitler’s Deserters, pp. 123-9]

It
is this that explains the strategic and military alliance between Germany and
Israel and why Germany is prepared to openly
support Israel’s genocide in Gaza, to the extent of joining it at the
International Court of Justice. ‘Anti-Semitism’ is merely the pretext for attacking
democratic rights in Germany itself.
After
all Germany took part in 2 genocides in the last century, so what is a third
genocide between friends? Indeed there was a direct link between the first genocide,
the extermination of the Herero and Nama people in South-West Africa (Namibia)
and the Holocaust.
It is no
surprise that Namibia’s anger boiled over when Germany offered to join Israel’s
case at the ICJ. It was in Namibia, then a German colony, that Germany’s
extermination program became the template for the Holocaust.
Eugen Fischer was the Nazi doctor who helped pioneer eugenics in the Third Reich. As
director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology (1927-42) Fischer
provided the ‘scientific’ rationale for the Nazi’s war of extermination.
On Shark Island in SW Africa Fischer ran medical breeding
experiments on the camp’s inmates. Racist ideas developed in the colony were
brought back to German institutions along with the Africans’ skulls.
Fischer conducted medical experiments on children born
from the rape of African women. His research inspired Adolf Hitler and
in the 1930s, Fischer taught his racist theories to Nazi doctors. One
of his students, Joseph Mengele, was responsible for the medical experiments in
the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp.
In 1939, Fischer
declared
When a people wants … to preserve its
own nature, it must reject alien racial elements,… The Jew is such an alien
and, therefore, when he wants to insinuate himself, he must be warded off.
An organisation named “Commission Number 3” was created by the Nazis to
deal with the so-called problem of the “Rhineland Bastards”. This was organised
under Eugen Fischer. It was decided that the African-German children would be
sterilised under the 1933 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased
Offspring.
The programme began in 1937, when local officials were asked to report
on all “Rhineland Bastards” under their jurisdiction.
All together, some 400 children of mixed parentage were arrested and
sterilised. The Nazis went to great lengths to conceal their sterilisation and
abortion programme. See The Holocaust’s forgotten black victims – the‘Rhineland Bastards’
Liberal
Jews in Germany referred to the Zionists as ‘volkish’ or racial Jews. In
Romania the Zionists were referred to by other Jews as ‘Hitler Juden (Jews)’.
So when the modern day German State favours Zionist Jews they understand their
ideological affinity
Why Does the German State Favour the Zionists?
The
German State never deNazified after the war. In many cases the same civil
servants, the same judges and police chiefs continued to play the same role
that they had played in Nazi Germany.
Hostility
after the war to Germany was very great, given the millions who had died at its
hand. With the division of Europe into East and West, it was crucial to NATO
and the Western Alliance that West Germany be integrated into the West’s
military alliances. At the time there was a vigorous campaign against
German re-armament.
It
was through Israel that Germany was rehabilitated and the price it paid was
billions in reparations, which were meant for the holocaust survivors but were
paid to the Israeli state. Israel stole
the reparations together with the Jewish
Claims Conference. To this day Israel keeps over a third living in poverty,
choosing between heating and eating.
Reparations
and Restitution
Yad
Vashem, the Israeli state Holocaust museum boasted
that West Germany’s government ‘realized
that paying reparations would help accelerate West Germany's acceptance by the
Western powers.’
Through
reparations and direct transfers of weapons Israel paved the way for the
integration of West Germany into NATO. But there was a political price. Israel
was not to make an issue of the presence of Nazis in Konrad Adenaeur’s
government.
Germany
and Britain’s Attack on Democratic Rights
On
December 20th I was arrested under s.12 Terrorism
Act 2000 for having posted, a month before, a tweet
supporting Hamas, a proscribed organisation. Although Hamas’s military wing,
the Al Quassem Brigades had been
proscribed in 2001 its political wing had not been proscribed until 2021.
No
justification has ever been given for why this further step had been taken
although the Zionist organisations had long been lobbying for it. The
government’s explanation
was that:
Hamas IDQ was
proscribed by the UK in March 2001. At the time it was HM government’s
assessment that there was a sufficient distinction between the so called
political and military wings of Hamas, such that they should be treated as
different organisations, and that only the military wing was concerned in
terrorism. The government now assess that the approach of distinguishing
between the various parts of Hamas is artificial. Hamas is a complex but single
terrorist organisation.
No
indication was given as to what this assessment was or what had changed since
2021. In fact there is no evidence whatsoever that Hamas is a single
organisation any more than the IRA was a single organisation between 1969 and
its ceasefire.

Potsdamer Platz area, Berlin, October 15, 2023. The police suppressed the
demonstration shortly after authorizing it.
See Germany cancels pro-Palestine event, bars entry to Gaza war witness
If
Sinn Fein, the IRA’s political wing had been proscribed along with the IRA then
there would have been no Good Friday peace
agreement. The ban on Hamas makes it clear that the British government,
despite pretending to oppose Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory, in
practice does the precise opposite. As
the current genocide demonstrates, the real terrorists have always been the
Israeli army and government.
Hilary Clinton Admits to Creating Al
Qaeda
Hamas
has never operated outside Palestine. It was elected, in
free and fair elections, by the Palestinian people in 2006. Comparisons with
ISIS are nonsense and merely police state rhetoric. If anyone is responsible
for ISIS and Al Qaeda it is the United States. There was no ISIS before the invasion
of Iraq and there was no Al Qaeda before the West began funding Islamic
fundamentalist groups in Afghanistan in order to overthrow the secular
pro-Soviet government there.
During
the 1980s the Israeli government was instrumental in creating Hamas, for similar
reasons. It wanted a Palestinian counterweight to secular Palestinian
nationalism.
Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the
Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s, told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance
the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and
leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by
Yasser Arafat (who referred to Hamas as “a
creature of Israel.”)
“The Israeli
government gave me a budget,” the retired brigadier general confessed, “and the
military government gives to the mosques.”
“Hamas, to my great regret, is
Israel’s creation,”
Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for
more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. In the mid-80s, Cohen
wrote an official report to his superiors warning them not to play
divide-and-rule in the Occupied Territories, by backing Palestinian Islamists
against Palestinian secularists. See Blowback:
How Israel Went From Helping Create Hamas to Bombing It
Today Hamas
is enemy no. 1. ‘Terrorism’ is a term of abuse that one hurls at one’s
opponents. It has no intrinsic meaning. As Lord Carrington, Margaret Thatcher’s
Foreign Secretary admitted ‘one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s
terrorist.’ In other words ‘terrorist’ is a label to stick on your
opponents.
The Nazis
too labelled their opponents ‘terrorists’ or ‘bandits’. To them the Maquis, the
French Resistance, was a terrorist group as were the Partisans and all those
who fought against them but the British had no problem at the time allying with
them.
That is
why Britain’s anti-terrorist legislation is based on a lie. Hamas is no more of
a terrorist than any number of groups that the US and Britain has funded when
it founded convenient.
Hamas has
never operated outside Palestine. Unlike ISIS it did not send operatives to
blow people up in Europe such as at the Bataclan massacre
in Paris in 2015 which both it and Islamic Jihad condemned.
Prevent & The Use of
Anti-Terrorism To Silence Dissent – The Thinking of the Thought Police
The
British state has been very adept at exploiting terrorism in order to
politically attack their opponents and in particular Muslims. It has laid the
basis of Islamaphobia. Prevent was first introduced by
the Blair government in 2006 to counter terrorism.
Since
the passage of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act July 2015 there has been
what is known as the Prevent
Duty. Schools, Universities and a wide range of public sector bodies have a
legal responsibility to “have due regard
to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.
It
is based on the bonkers idea, which the Police have adopted wholesale, that
non-violent ‘extremism’ is the conveyor belt to terrorism. It is bonkers
because there is no proof of this theory and because the causes of terrorism are
self evident. Little things like America and Britain’s illegal invasion of Iraq
that MPs voted for and Blair lied for with the story of Weapons of Mass
Destruction.
Terrorism
has causes and they are down to the fact that Western imperialism insists on invading,
bombing and destabilising countries in the Global South in order that they can
extract their wealth.
In
Libya a country under the unified government of Muammar Ghadaffi was bombed
by NATO countries and the result was a failed state which included ISIS and a
refugee crisis.
The
same
happened in Syria where the CIA, Saudi Arabia and Qatar funded and supplied
weapons to a host of Jihadi groups in their efforts to overthrow the Assad
regime. Not surprisingly this gave ISIS a headstart and as in Afghanistan, the
West’s Frankenstein turned against them. This is what creates terrorism not
radicalisation.
Prevent
operates on the basis that people are ‘radicalised’ by ‘extreme’ views and then
are susceptible to recruitment by terrorists. No proof has ever been found to
back up this nonsense. If anything Prevent
is likely to create the very problem it’s designed to overcome.
It
is no accident that the vast
majority of people targeted by Prevent are Muslims and that support
for Palestine is one of the indicators that someone is susceptible to being
drawn to terrorism.
When
I was remanded in Birmingham prison for a week in 2021, after having been arrested
going on a Palestine Action outing, I was asked at the prison reception whether
I was an ‘extremist’. I asked her if she
knew what an ‘extremist’ was and she confessed she didn’t.
I
then explained that all those who fight for their freedom and democratic rights
are called extremists and I gave as an example the Suffragettes who were called
‘extremists’
and ‘terrorists’.
Today they have plaques in the House of Commons and statues commemorating them
but in their time they were vilified by people like Churchill.
Next
thing I know, the Jewish Chronicle said I was comparing myself to the Suffragettes. Some people just don’t get it.
Last
Thursday I went to court challenging
the Police seizure of my computer and electronic equipment. Although most of it
has no value to the Police they insist on hanging on to it.
I
brought an action under s.1 of the Police Property Act 1897. The matter was
adjourned to a later date. For the hearing the Police officer in charge of my
case, Chris Beckford from the Anti-Terrorist Police prepared a witness statement.
It was very interesting and gives a good insight into the mentality of Britain’s
Thought Police.
In
his statement Beckford stated on page 2, paragraph 7 that:
It is important to the investigation that we fully understand Mr
Greenstein’s mind set and ideology.
This not only comes from public sources, ie his
blog and social media, but from his internet search history and communication with others. How, and indeed
if, he talks about Hamas with others away from the public
domain provides highly relevant insight
into Mr Greenstein. (my emphasis)
This
isn’t ‘anti-terrorism’ it is the thought police. An insight into someone’s mindset
and how they think. Not once in the course of two interviews lasting about 2.5
hours was I asked about any bombs I had made or planted.
The
only questions related to articles on my blog or a speech I made at Holocaust
Memorial Day on January 27. Counter-terrorism has become the policing of
peoples’ minds and what they can say. And there are still fools, knaves and
liars like Starmer and Sunak who pretend that this has something to do with
peoples’ safety when it is about restricting what we are and are not allowed to
say.
In
the final paragraph of his witness statement Beckford wrote that:
The return of
the property to Mr Greenstein at this stage would be prejudicial and
compromising to the investigation as to whether he supports a proscribed
terrorist organisation, and whether there is a wider risk to the public that
they will be subjected to this support.
So
what is this risk to the public? That they will be blown up by my words and
thoughts? Chris Beckford is anxious to ensure that no one will be subjected’ to
my views on Hamas and the Palestinians. Some might call this censorship but I
would be loathe to do so.
This
is not just a paper exercise. I was reported to the Police by Zionists and one racist
in particular by the name of Heidi Bachram. The Zionist
movement in this country is busy trying to extinguish our freedom of speech
having done much the same in Israel.
The
corrupt rogues and thieves who govern us go scot free. Billions
of pounds went to the crooked cronies of the Tories via a VIP channel for
procurement. Yet the Police are not interested in investigating corruption,
perjury or miscarriages of justice. To date just 2 people have been
investigated over the Post Office conspiracy to jail and convict nearly a
thousand innocent sub-postmasters. The Met Police are not interested in crimes
by the rich and powerful.
Clamping
down on free speech in this country or playing the part of the Gestapo by Germany’s
police is what freedom under capitalism means in the 21st century as
world war comes ever closer and climate catastrophe signals the end of the
human race.
So
I guess I am an ‘extremist’ because i want to abolish capitalism before it
abolishes us.
Tony
Greenstein
