The Campaigner

of myths revolving around the extermination of Jews by
"the others," of which the two most prominent myths are
that of the massacre of the Zealots at Masada fortress
during the first century, and that of the Nazi holocaust.
We do not, of course, say that these events did not
happen or should be forgotten. But they most certainly
did not occur as Zionist historians would have us believe.
In both cases, the cause of the slaughter was a deliberate
killing of Jews by Zionists! Unless this simple fact is
understood, Israelis, and Jews generally, cannot be freed
of their adherence to the Zionist cult.

MASADA TODAY
The facts of these cases will be presented below; first,
however, we must examine the problem from the standpoint
of current Israeli policy.
The settler-founders of the state of Israel in the period
after World War II were not, except for a tiny handful of
Zionist elite, aware of the strategic political importance
of Zionism and the Israeli state in the overall design of
British Imperial policy. But these settlers, who enlisted in
the underground Haganah and other Zionist militia
during and after the war, were a carefully selected "raw
material" for the construction of the timebomb now
called Israel.
During the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, under
the guidance of Prime Minister Ben-Gurion, Moshe
Dayan, Shimon Peres and Yigal Yadin, Israel began an
active policy of seeking to develop its "nuclear option."
This policy coincided with the promulgation of the
doctrine of "limited nuclear warfare" and "theatre
nuclear war" by Dr. Henry Kissinger and James Rodney
Schlesinger, at the behest of London's Royal Institute for
International Affairs (RIIA) and the London International
Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). For these
gentlemen, the state of Israel was, test-tube-like, to
become the first live model of the effects of a regional
nuclear war.
In 1957, with the aid of Zionist French circles and
British intelligence, Israel acquired a nuclear weapons
research facility at Dimona. With the construction of the
Dimona nuclear facility, Ben-Gurion and Dayan began
to wage a factional battle within the Israeli military and
scientific establishment for the hegemony of an active
nuclear defense policy.
In 1960, the entire membership of the seven-person
panel of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission resigned
in protest over the horrifying and suicidal implications of
tiny, indefensible Israel developing an atomic weapons
capability. Within the Israeli establishment, important
"traditional Zionist" factions were purged, apparently
"Does not policy then ... exhort
England to foster the nationality of
the Jews and aid them, as opportunity
may offer, to return as a
leavening power to their old country?"
— Lord Shaftesbury
including the former Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon and
other elements allied to him.
While the internal battles raged among the Zionist
elite, British intelligence unleashed a two-phase effort to
create the proper psychological climate within the Israeli
population for the assimilation of an Israeli doctrine of
national nuclear suicide.
First, beginning in 1955, General Yigal Yadin, an
archeologist-intelligence agent in the best British tradition,
began the excavation of the death-cult monument
of Masada, leading a team from the Hebrew University
and the Israel Exploration Society, with the official support
of the Israeli Defense Force. Yadin, who was a former
chief of staff of the IDF, had resigned his commission
in 1952 and traveled to London to prepare for the
Masada dig. The financing of the Yadin mission came
from James A. de Rothschild.
In 1965, the publication of Yadin's work capped a
decade-long effort at propaganda and mythmaking in
regard to the Masada suicide of 960 Jewish Zealots.
Gradually, the fortress at Masada came to represent a
national symbol of Israel:
Second, the unspeakable horror of the Nazi holocaust
was suddenly and shockingly revived by the announcement
on May 23, 1960 by Ben-Gurion that Israeli secret
services had arrested Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.
