Articles, Radio Addresses, and Interviews Recorded at the Time in My Own Papers - Part 4: A 1948 Address on Alleged Jewish World Domination, and Telegrams to Nasser and Sadat
The Jews' Own Methods for Dominating the World
People's astonishment was immense at America's own position on the Palestinian cause on the day the ill-fated partition plan was approved, and their astonishment grew even greater at this same country's position when its president, Mr. Truman, contrary to every assurance given by his own late predecessor Roosevelt, hastened to recognize the state of Israel within mere minutes of the end of the British Mandate...
And here he is today, having slipped and fallen into the very arms of Zionism, working tirelessly in the Security Council to apply economic and punitive sanctions against the Arabs as well, invoking Article 39 of the United Nations Charter, all to rescue an illusory state that will remain, in his own memory, nothing but a bitter recollection, God willing.
But those following the course of events have not been especially surprised by what has happened, since they are well aware of the hidden reasons that drove the American Democratic Party to push President Truman down this treacherous path. He wants to win the presidential race a few months from now, and to win this race, he finds himself compelled to court the American Jewish vote...
And this electoral desire of his is matched by an even more fervent one among his Republican rivals. Both sides, for this reason, display an extraordinary generosity, competing with one another to win the Jews' own favor, in a manner that borders on outright submission and surrender...
Someone might ask: "is it conceivable that the president of a great power would sacrifice his own country's vital interests in the Middle East for the sake of a handful of Jews whom not a single one of the many millions of United States citizens would even notice?" As for the sacrifice of America's own interests to some danger in the Middle East, I have nothing more to say on this now except that the Americans firmly believe the Arabs are not serious in their own threats, or else they would have reckoned with them a thousand times over. Let us recall that the telegram Monsieur Clemenceau sent to President Wilson toward the end of the First World War contained this deeply significant sentence: "a single drop of oil is worth a drop of blood." As for the two American parties' own pursuit of Jewish support, this is easily explained by the vast wealth these people enjoy and the masterful propaganda methods they command. And what is said of America in this regard applies equally to the states of Eastern Europe, and to an opportunistic Russia, albeit with a difference in aim, and to a reckless France as well, for this state, subject as it is to Jewish influence, harbors no true goodwill toward the Arabs, as we well know, fearing for its own influence in the Arab Maghreb. It has once again dropped its own mask, voting against us only yesterday in the Security Council, when America tried to extract a resolution from it declaring that the situation in the Middle East posed a threat to peace. Add to this that it has taken to shaping both its domestic and foreign policy in line with the Marshall Plan.
Had our own citizens truly grasped the extent of Jewish influence across the American and European continents, they would not have found it so strange that communist Russia and capitalist America agreed, for the first time since the founding of the United Nations, on so criminal a solution to the question of Palestine. These same two powers have failed at everything else, failing in Germany, Italy, Trieste, Greece, and Japan, just as they failed in Indonesia, Indochina, and China, as though the United Nations had been created for no purpose other than serving Israel's own interest, and this is simply because Jewish propaganda has seeped into both camps the way wine seeps into the body of a man already drunk on it...
Propaganda is a fearsome weapon, one whose dangers and harms we have only now come to truly appreciate. I cannot recall the name of the English minister who said, during this last war, that "the Allies had to fight two stubborn enemies," the Wehrmacht, meaning the German army, and Goebbels's own propaganda machine, ranking Goebbels's propaganda as no less dangerous or formidable than Hitler's own army, which had overwhelmed nation after nation in a manner history had never before seen.
The Jews have mastered this fearsome art, having specialized in it since ancient times, and you will find them exploiting every single person according to his own particular understanding and need, with calculated, masterful method. I read in the newspapers just a few days ago that they are selling cards across the American continent, said to number two hundred and fifty million, printed with the following words: "Noble American, in paying the one dollar this card costs, you are helping to kill a savage Arab, or to save the life of a civilized Jew."
One of their own wealthy men was once asked what he would do if he lost his entire fortune and had nothing left but a thousand dollars. He answered at once: "spend nine hundred on propaganda, and trade with the remaining hundred."
This is because ordinary people everywhere are simple and good-hearted, and believe whatever they are told. The Jews have grasped this truth perfectly, and have taken to deceiving the peoples of the earth by every base method available to them. Whenever they fail to deceive someone, they set about buying him with their own money, and when he proves too costly to buy, they buy someone else instead to use against him, and the means of this violence range from political resistance and character assassination to the stirring of sedition and the fueling of bloody revolutions. How many times have they set off strife with their own lies and deceptions, and how many times have they shattered whole peoples and tribes with their own intrigues and slanders. For this reason, we saw fit to offer our fellow Arab citizens a truthful picture of our own enemy, since whoever knows his enemy knows how to guard against him and resist him, and this picture is drawn from the Jews' own words and from their own history, so that the well-known saying might be borne out: "By your own mouth do I condemn you, O Israel."
1. A Letter from the Jews of the City of ( ) (in southern France) to the Jews of Constantinople
"Honored Jews, greetings and respect. We must inform you that the King of France, the new lord of the province of Provence, has forced us, through his own town criers, to either convert to Christianity or leave the country, and that the inhabitants of the cities of Aix and Marseille wish to seize our own wealth, threaten our lives, destroy our synagogues, and place every obstacle in our path. This leaves us in a state of confusion regarding the Law of Moses. We therefore turn to your own sound judgment, that you may advise us on what must be done.
Signed, Chambourg, Rabbi of Arles
13 Shevat 1489"
2. The Reply
"Our dear brothers in Moses, your letter has reached us, describing the anxiety and pain you now endure. This has cut through to our own hearts, wounding us just as it has wounded you.
Here is the opinion of our senior judges and rabbis:
You say the King of France is forcing you to convert. Then convert, since you are unable to resist, but let the Law of Moses remain in your own hearts.
You say they are scheming to seize your own wealth. Then make your sons merchants, so that they may seize the wealth of the Christians in revenge.
You say they are destroying your synagogues. Then make your sons deacons and priests, so that they may destroy the Christians' own churches instead.
You say they humiliate you. Then make your sons lawyers and notaries, and give them a hand in matters of state, so that the Christians remain forever under your own yoke, and so that you achieve complete dominance over them, and take the fullest revenge upon them.
Take care never to stray from these instructions. Follow them, and you will find that you, who now stand humiliated and abased, will one day stand at the very height of power and authority.
Signed ( ), Prince of the Jews of Constantinople
On the 21st of ( ), 1489."
Whoever holds this view of life, and follows this method within it, deserves to be regarded with real caution by every human being, the Arabs before anyone else, who ought to guard against his own harm and danger with every ounce of strength and every tethered warhorse they can muster.
The Jews stand ever watchful over every stirring impulse among the peoples they sit crouched upon, and thanks to their own wealth, cohesion, and mutual solidarity, they penetrate straight to the heart of public movements, exploiting them for Israel's own benefit.
I came across this important passage in the (Jewish World Review), published on 26 July 1907 (p. 585):
"The Jewish influence is palpable and evident in every major event, sometimes openly and plainly, sometimes hidden and secret. And so Jewish history moves hand in hand with the history of the world, penetrating to its very depths in most cases."
In truth, we can see the Jews' own secret dominance at work in the French Revolution and in the modern revolutions that followed it, and we Syrians ourselves felt the touch of this same dominance in 1936, when the French parliament was forced to reject the Franco-Syrian treaty, fortunately for us in any case. This explains why the Jews stand at the very forefront of capitalists in capitalist countries, while proving the most extreme of all people in countries of extremist ideology, and pledge themselves, in countries aspiring toward a progressive socialist order, to a mysticism and asceticism without equal. The first tool the Jews attach the greatest importance to, alongside money, in spreading their own influence, is the pen, and for this reason they seized control of the European press as early as the beginning of the last century, and set about using it to spread their own influence, impose their own will, and mete out punishment through it against anyone in whom they detected the slightest resistance to their own infernal schemes.
The Jewish writer ( ) wrote the following in 1888:
"We know that the world's greatest bankers are the Jewish House of Rothschild, and we know that they control the financial markets and oversee the politics of the European world. Alongside them, we see that the entire European press lies in Jewish hands, and that its own senior editors are Jewish as well."
The English writer Mr. ( ) comments on this same statement, which he cites in his own book titled "The Jews of England" (1938), with the following remark: "there exists no important position from which public opinion may be shaped, without finding the Jews gathered there in disproportionate numbers.
This is no matter of chance or coincidence, but rather the outcome of deep study and premeditated decision.
The Jews' own relentless drive to control the press is an ancient one, and may well, in their own view, surpass even the accumulation of wealth itself, since wealth is gathered only to be spent on immediate ends and passing desires, while the press secures for them a real, effective dominance, and firmly cements their own controlling inclinations.
Listen to the Jew ( ) delivering a speech at the rabbinical council held in 1840 in the town of ( ), in the province of Poland, where he says:
"What good are your hollow speeches to us? If we do not control the press, then all your talk is empty sophistry, worth nothing at all. What good are your financial associations, your loans, and your schemes? If we do not place the press under our own command, in order to subjugate the world and drive it like a flock of sheep, then all our efforts will remain in vain, and our own hopes of seizing dominion over humanity will remain nothing more than a smothered fire."
And indeed, they have truly achieved their own aim of seizing control of the press. Here, for instance, are the great newspapers of the United States and elsewhere, a fertile field for Zionist opinion and the sinful propaganda directed against us, poisoning public opinion and steering the very rudder of high politics. And what greater influence could there be than one capable of driving the president of one of the world's greatest powers to strike at the very heart of justice itself, shaking the confidence of seventy million Arabs, and hundreds of millions of Muslims and Christians across the length and breadth of the earth, in the very supreme international body that every human being ought, by duty, to support, for the preservation of peace and the fulfillment of the principles of justice...
These vile methods and this strange psychology spring from the Jews' own deep-seated hatred of the rest of humankind, and from their own belief that they alone are the chosen people. Mr. ( ) expressed this same hatred in his own book, titled "A Historical Introduction to the Study of Law" (published in Paris in 1875), when he wrote: "In the international field, we see the Jews as a race possessed of a pathological selfishness, one that grows only more intense the more narrowly they cling to their own religious understanding...
The foreigner, as a people, is to them not merely a foreigner, nor an enemy in the Roman sense, nor a barbarian in the old Greek sense, but is, beyond all of this, the infidel, the enemy of God, possessed of no rights whatsoever."
This, fellow citizens, is our own enemy: a deceiver, a schemer, who cares nothing at all for virtue, for whom every means, however base, becomes acceptable, even sacred, so long as it delivers him to his own sinful ends. He is hard of heart, thick of liver, showing no mercy, and grasping nothing at all of the true meaning of compassion. His own dark history bears witness to a rare ferocity and savagery, the day he fell upon the Arab Canaanites, slaughtering them like sheep and subjecting them to the cruelest torment. And here he is now, repeating the very same deed, against this very same people, in this very same land. How deep his hatred runs, and how patient he has been in pursuing it...
And now that the armies of the Arabs have closed in around him, there must be no truce with him before he is finished off once and for all, so that he can never again rise as a standing state. Whatever price we pay, in sacrifice and in deprivation, remains a small thing set against the far greater danger threatening our very existence as a race and as a people, the danger of utter, crushing annihilation, God forbid.
Let us arm ourselves with patience, cast aside our own quarrels and disputes, and stand together as one single man against this overwhelming flood. I ask God to lift this dark cloud from Arabism and from Islam.
And may He grant victory to our own blessed, struggling armies, a victory whose bright, blood-drenched first signs have already begun sending hope and glad tidings into our own hearts. He is indeed the finest Guardian, and the finest Helper.

An interview conducted by the Cairo newspaper Al-Akhbar with President Hafez al-Assad, published on 22/9/1993 (and reprinted the next day, 23 September, by the Syrian newspaper Tishreen), in which the editor, Mr. Ibrahim Nafie, is quoted as saying:
"I said to President al-Assad:
Do you recall, Your Excellency, that I once met with the al-Nahlawi group in Switzerland, after their exile there, having been expelled from Syria and settled in Lausanne, and that they sent a letter to Gamal Abdel Nasser containing their own apology for what they had done.
I published an interview with them in Akhbar al-Yawm at the time, and they were expelled from Switzerland shortly after the interview appeared, and went on to Germany."
