British Jewry Tried To Stop Zionism - Edwin Montagu

By Henry Makow PhD 3-12-6

http://www.savethemales.ca/001458.html

When the British Cabinet issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917, it was over the
strenuous objections of its only Jewish member, Edwin Montagu.

But non-Jews, including many anti-Semites, tipped the scales. They saw Zionism
as a way to advance British imperialism and the Masonic "New World Order."
Montagu, who was the Secretary of State for India, told Prime Minister Lloyd
George. "All my life I have been trying to get out of the ghetto. You want to
force me back there."

An assimilated Jew, Montagu regarded Judaism as only a religion, and viewed
Zionism as a "mischievous political creed, untenable by any patriotic citizen of
the United Kingdom." His story suggests that the New World Order is an elite
conspiracy led by specific members of certain Jewish and non-Jewish dynastic
families who often intermarried. It is not "Jewish" in terms of the Jewish
people as a whole, who historically prefer assimilation.

In May 1917, a committee representing the leading Jewish organizations published
a statement in the "London Times" saying: "Emancipated Jews... have no separate
political aspirations...the establishment of a Jewish nationality in Palestine
founded on [the] theory of a Jewish homelessness, must have the effect of
stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands." ("Cousinhood", p.260)

The Balfour Declaration promised Jews a "national home" in Palestine. Partly, it
was payment to Zionists for getting the USA into WWI on Britain's side. Zionist
president Chaim Weismann fumed that Jewish opposition was the main stumbling
block to consummating the deal. ("payment"
http://www.savethemales.ca/000357.html)

The Jewish community was split. The Samuels and the Rothschilds favored the
Balfour Declaration; Cohen, Magnus, Mountefiore and Montagu were against it. "If
it had been merely an issue between Zionist and non-Zionist factions within the
community, there is little question that the latter would have won," writes
Chaim Bermant in "The Cousinhood." "But there were the gentile Zionists to
consider and they carried the day." (262)

These gentiles included Arthur Balfour, Lord Milner, Lord Lothian (Phillip Kerr)
and Lord Robert Cecil. Chaim Weismann recognized that Zionism is part of a much
larger game: "To [Cecil], the re-establishment of a Jewish Homeland in Palestine
and the organization of the world in a great federation were complementary
features in the next step in the management of human affairs..." (Reed,
"Controversy of Zion," p. 249.)

Georgetown University professor Caroll Quigley lists about 100 participants in
the world government conspiracy in the Appendix of "The Anglo American
Establishment" (1981). They include the above names and Cecil Rhodes, Lionel
Curtis, William T. Stead, Geoffrey Dawson and Earl Grey. I recognized only three
Jews: Nathan Rothschild, Leopold Amery and Alfred Beit.

Quigley relates how a group of aristocratic families centered on the Cecils has
dominated British politics for centuries. They spawned the secret society
organized by Cecil Rhodes and Nathan Rothschild in 1891, which Rhodes called "a
church for the extension of the British Empire." (34) Known as "The Round Table"
and the "Milner group," its goal was world domination by the British elite and
the re-colonization of the US. The "church" was Freemasonry. The politicians
that backed Zionism were all high-ranking Masons. Some were probably Illuminati.
"World government" is dedicated to enthroning Lucifer as God of this world.
Zionism and Communism are Masonic organizations dedicated to this agenda.

A HERO FOR ASSIMILATED JEWS

Edwin Montagu, the second son of the silver bullion dealer Samuel Montagu, was
caught between his father's Orthodox Judaism and desire to be an Englishman. He
rejected Judaism but was not about to abandon his Jewish identity. "I will
always be a good Jew according to my lights," he wrote his father, "my
definition differing from yours." As a youth he chafed at having to observe the
rituals and marry a Jewish girl. As an adult, he embraced the lifestyle of a
highborn Englishman. On his country estate, he hunted and was a naturalist and
ornithologist. "There was something... alien in the very depth of his affection
for England," Bermant remarks. (259) A tall nerdy-looking man who wore a
monocle, Montagu suffered the gibes of friends and enemies in silence. His
"ugliness was obliterated by his charms," wrote his friend Duff Cooper." He had
a huge ungainly body, a deep soft voice and dark eyes that sparkled with
kindliness." (253) An able debater at Cambridge, Montagu caught the attention of
H.H. Asquith, the President of the rival Oxford Union. He followed Asquith into
politics and after the Liberal landslide of 1906 became his private secretary.
An intelligent and persuasive speaker, Montagu seemed destined for great things.
Asquith became Prime Minister in 1908. He and Montagu were both infatuated with
Venetia Stanley a friend of Asquith's daughter, and 35 years Asquith's junior.
When the Prime Minister's attentions became too much, Venetia married Montagu,
eight years her senior. Like Montagu's love for England, his love for Venetia
was unrequited. She had many affairs and burned through his fortune. But he
ignored this and, on the eve of his premature death at age 45, wrote to her, "I
am miserable at going. You have made me very happy and I hope you will be happy
always." (267)

ON ZIONISM

In 1917, Montagu fought the Balfour Declaration in cabinet and circulated a
document accusing the government of anti-Semitism for making all British Jews
"aliens and foreigners." He said he would "willingly disenfranchise every
Zionist [and was tempted to] proscribe the Zionist organization as illegal and
against the national interest." ("document"
http://student.cs.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/articles/ article0005337.html)

Of course he was right. But despite being a banker's son, he wasn't aware of the
Masonic/Zionist plan for world government. They dedicated 1.2 million troops to
securing Palestine, almost losing the European War as a consequence. They had to
replace Asquith and the Army Chief-of-Staff Gen. William Robertson to get it
done.

Montagu was one of those rare Jews who tried to understand the reasons for anti-
Semitism instead of blaming "irrational hate." "I have always recognized the
unpopularity...of my community. We have obtained a far greater share of this
country's goods and opportunities than we are numerically entitled to. We reach
on the whole maturity earlier, and therefore with people of our own age we
compete unfairly. Many of us have been exclusive in our friendships and
intolerant in our attitude, and I can easily understand that many a non-Jew in
England wants to get rid of us. But just as there is no community of thought and
mode of life among Christian Englishmen, so there is not among Jewish
Englishmen. More and more we are educated in public schools and at the
Universities, and take our part in the politics, in the Army, in the Civil
Service, of our country. And I am glad to think that the prejudices against
inter-marriage are breaking down. But when the Jew has a national home, surely
it follows that the impetus to deprive us of the rights of British citizenship
must be enormously increased. Palestine will become the world's Ghetto."

Montagu was probably responsible for inserting the provision in the Balfour
Declaration that said: "Nothing shall be done that may prejudice the civil and
religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the
rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

FINALLY

Jews are taught that they are scapegoats but they don't learn it is the world
government cabal that is using them. Using Zionist, Communist, Liberal, Feminist
or Neo Con fronts, it dupes many Jews into advancing policies and beliefs that
undermine society which is based on race, religion, nation and family. This
gives the appearance Jews in general are responsible for the New World Order. It
doesn't help that many Jews ignorantly deny this conspiracy exists and cry
"anti-Semitism" every time a banker is criticized. It doesn't help that many
have been conned into thinking they need Israel. In fact Israelis are being used
to secure the Middle East for the Masonic British elite. The new Israeli Supreme
Court building, funded and designed by Rothschilds, is replete with Masonic
symbolism. (http://www.thegoldenreport.com/asp/jerrysnewsmanager/anmviewer.asp?
a=817&z=2) Some of the Rothschilds and their Jewish allies are part of this
satanic conspiracy. But most Jews put their countries first, and would want no
part of world government. Edwin Montagu, a gentle, sincere civilized man, is an
example of such a Jew and an inspiration to us all. --------------- Related:

Reply (Peter M.):

Montagu's concerns may have contributed to the late amendment to the Balfour
Declaration.

This addressed the worry that Jews remaining in the West might thereby be
pressured to leave, or forgo their disproportionate influence in Western
countries.

The late amendment addressed these concerns by adding the words, "nothing shall
be done which may prejudice ... the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews
in any other country."

Makow's line is akin to the Left Gatekeepers (like Chomsky) who say that the
Iraq War is about Oil, not Israel ... that Israel is only a tool of the empire.

Like Chomsky, Makow is blaming "the Empire".

Answer: it doesn't.

David ben Gurion, first Prime Minister of Israel, represents the Zionist faction
of the "One World" movement. In 1962, LOOK magazine invited him and other
leaders to picture the world 25 years into the future, i.e. in 1987. His article
published in the issue of January 16, 1962 shows amazing prescience. Despite the
animosities of the Cold War then under way, ben Gurion sees Eastern Europe being
torn from the USSR and joined with Western Europe; and China (even Mao's China)
and Japan joining the US in what seems the first published depiction of APEC.

A World-Government has been created, with regional blocs in Europe, the USSR and
the Pacific Rim, and a Supreme Court for Mankind has been established in
Jerusalem, as well as a shrine commemmorating the Jewish role in the
bringing-together of mankind:

How do ben Gurion's statements fit with Makow's line about Jews being just a
tool? They don't.

Makow ignores Benjamin H. Freedman's statements, which show that the Rhodes
conspiracy was outplayed by the Jews within it. American Jewish financiers
backed Germany, against Britain, until the Czar fell; then auctioned their
support to both sides.

Rothschild was the trustee of Rhodes' will. He knew of the "British" Conspiracy
for world domination, but Rhodes and the "British" did not know of Rothschild's
own conspiracy for the same.

The crunch came in 1917, when the Balfour Declaration, a contract between the
British Empire and World Jewry, was addressed to Lord Rothschild as head of the
latter.

It lead to the creation of the modern state of Israel, in return for Jewry's
committment to use its media in the US and influence over the US President
(Wilson) to get US troops into the war speedily, to ensure that Britain won.
Prior to the fall of the Czar, only shortly before, US Jewry had been
pro-Germany, because they detested the Czar.

If Rothschild had been loyal to the "British" Conspiracy, he would never have
sought such a quid-pro-quo.

Jewish Defector Warns America: Benjamin Freedman Speaks

{quote} ... World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. Nineteen-hundred and
fourteen was the year in which World War One broke out ...

Within two years Germany had won that war ... the Zionists in Germany, who
represented the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet
and -- I am going to be brief because this is a long story, but I have all the
documents to prove any statement that I make if anyone here is curious, or
doesn't believe what I'm saying is at all possible -- the Zionists in London
went to the British war cabinet and they said: "Look here. You can yet win this
war. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated peace
offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States will
come in as your ally." The United States was not in the war at that time. We
were fresh; we were young; we were rich; we were powerful. They [Zionists] told
England: "We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your
ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you
win the war."

In other words, they made this deal: "We will get the United States into this
war as your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won the
war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey."

However, they made that promise, in October of 1916. October, nineteen hundred
and sixteen. And shortly after that -- I don't know how many here remember it --
the United States, which was almost totally pro-German -- totally pro-German --
because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews, all
the media of mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews, and
they were pro-German because their people, in the majority of cases came from
Germany, and they wanted to see Germany lick the Czar.

The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war. So
the German bankers -- the German-Jews -- Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking
firms in the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of
one dollar. They stood aside and they said: "As long as France and England are
tied up with Russia, not one cent!" But they poured money into Germany, they
fought with Germany against Russia, trying to lick the Czarist regime.

Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting Palestine, they
went to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything changed, like
the traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers had been
all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people of the difficulties that
Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially and in other respects,
all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were villains. They were Huns.
They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands. And
they were no good.

Well, shortly after that, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany. ...

Ben-Ami Shillony presents Judaism to Japanese readers, in his book The Jews and
the Japanese: the Successful Outsiders.

Professor Shillony bills himself as "a Jew, an Israeli" (p. 10). He writes:

{p. 31}... Judaism was the first religion to make world peace a central element
in its eschatology. {borrowed from Zoroastrianism:
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/zoroaster-judaism.html}

{p. 32} Yet quite often peace implies domination, and in many languages the word
"pacify" also means "conquer". King Solomon could afford to be a king of peace
because he ruled "over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the
Philistines, and to the border of Egypt."

{this quote, from 1 Kings 4:21, may not be historically accurate, yet it is the
basis of promises that Jews will rule those lands again - at Genesis 15: 18;
Exodus 23: 30-31; Deut 11: 24; Josh 1:4 - and is a major motivator of modern
Zionism}

... The peaceful world that the Jewish prophets envisioned was to be ruled over
by a scion of the House of David, later called the Messiah.

The Jews ... were always inspired by the belief that in the future world of
peace and justice they would serve as spiritual leaders {i.e. rulers}. This
vision of a world mission gave them the strength to suffer severe persecution
and propelled them to the forefront of various messianic and "idealistic"
movements in modern times like those of human rights, socialism, and communism.

Being on this list, Makow receives Jeff Blankfort's material showing that the
Jewish lobby is behind the war, and that the (New) "Left" are Gatekeepers
protecting Israel from being blamed for it.

To sum up: Makow is a Gatekeeper.
