Warning! The sordid, obscene literature you are about to read is better suited for Penthouse and Playboy magazines. At least the editors of such promiscuous publications have not had the chutzpah or audacity to ascribe the authorship of their literary works to God, the Creator or the Force.

Ezekiel 9:5 "And I heard God say to the other men, 'Follow him through the city and kill. Spare no one.'"

Deuteronomy 23:1, 2 "No man who has been castrated or whose penis has been cut off may be included among the Lord's people. No one born out of wedlock or any descendant of such a person, even to the tenth generation, may be included among the Lord's people." (A Jew whose gonads have been removed or whose penis has been surgically cut off to protect the rest of his body from cancer loses his citizenship among God's "chosen people." In Israel today, any illegitimate child born of Jewish parents is not permitted to marry there. The fanatic, rabbinical courts in Israel are supported in part by United States foreign aid tax dollars despite the United States Constitution's mandate for the separation of religion and state, and these religious courts control Israel's marriage laws.)

Deuteronomy 23:19, 20 "When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israelite, do not charge him interest. You may charge interest on what you lend to a foreigner, but not on what you lend to a fellow Israelite." (This doctrine espoused by Israel's radical rabbis holding that Israelis may charge usury to a Gentile but not to another Jew is blatant, economic discrimination based upon religious prejudice. By contrast, U.S. taxpayers have given to Israel billions of dollars interest-free. See "The Cost of Israel to U.S. Taxpayers," The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, April/May, '93, p.17.)

Deuteronomy 25:11, 12 "If two men are having a fight and the wife of one tries to help her husband by grabbing hold of the other man's genitals, show her no mercy, cut off her hand." (This is comparable to the Islamic law that a thief's hand be cut off.)

Deuteronomy 25:19 "So then, when the Lord your God has given you the land and made you safe from all your enemies who live around you, be sure to kill all the Amalekites, so that no one will remember them any longer. Do not forget!" (And, they haven't forgotten. As most Israelis and some other Jews are quick to remind Gentiles, Jews have long memories [some of their memories stretch back further than anybody can remember]. Rabbi Meir Kahane of recent past and Rabbi Levinger, among many other Zionists, refer to present-day Palestinians as Amalekites and preach that the Palestinians should be exterminated like cockroaches or at the very least deported from their ancient homeland, Palestine.)

1 Chronicles 20:3 "And he [King David, a man after the Jewish god's own heart] brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon."

Exodus 22:18 "Put to death any woman who practices magic." (The author of this command no doubt was a man, probably a rabbi.)

1 Samuel 27:8-11 "During that time David [the man after the Jewish god's own heart] and his men would attack the people of Geshur, Girzi, and Amalek, who had been living in the region a very long time. He would raid their land as far as Shur, all the way down to Egypt, killing all the men and women and taking the sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and even the clothes. Then he would come back to Achish, who would ask him, 'Where did you go on a raid this time?' And David would tell him that he had gone to the southern part of Judah or to the territory of the tribe of Jerahmeel or to the territory where the Kenites lived. David would kill everyone, men and women, so that no one could go back to Gath and report what he and his men had really done." (The question that arises here is, if all this killing was indeed done at the command of God, why would He seek to leave just the Jews as witnesses to this mayhem, only to reverse Himself later by revealing this mayhem to all of mankind in "holy" manuscripts written by Jews?)

1 Samuel 15:1-3 "Now listen to what the Lord Almighty says, .... Go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Don't leave a thing; kill all the men, women, and children, and babies; the cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys." (Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the attendant massacre of innocents in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila are mournful reminders of this dastardly command. Israel's Defense Minister Ariel Sharon took a leading role in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. An official Israeli committee found General Ariel Sharon to be partly responsible for the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. See pictures below. This mass-murderer and terrorist, Ariel Sharon, was afterwards elected prime minister of Israel and was enthusiastically welcomed in the White House by the President George W. Bush in the United States' so-called war against terrorism!)

Verse 33 "King Horum of Gezer came to the aid of Lachish, but Joshua defeated him and his army and left none of them alive." (Note: No prisoners of war allowed under this barbaric policy.)

Verses 34, 35 "Next, Joshua and his army went on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounded it and attacked it. They captured it the same day and put everyone there to death, just as they had done at Lachish."

Verses 38, 39 "Then Joshua and his army turned back to Debir and attacked it. He captured it, with its king and all the nearby towns. They put everyone there to death. Joshua did to Debir and its king what he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king." (Modern day Hebron is still under holy siege.)

Verse 40 "Joshua conquered the whole land. He defeated the kings of the hill country, the eastern slopes, and the western foothills, as well as those of the dry country in the south. He spared no one; everyone was put to death. This was what the Lord commanded."

Verse 15 "The Lord had given his commands to his servant Moses, Moses had given them to Joshua, and Joshua obeyed them. He did everything that the Lord had commanded Moses." (Joshua had the perfect excuse; like any good soldier, he followed orders handed down through the chain of command.)

Joshua 8:24-26 "The Israelites killed everyone of the enemy in the barren country where they had chased them. Then they went back to Ai and killed everyone there. Joshua kept his spear pointed at Ai and did not put it down until every person there had been killed. The whole population of Ai was killed that day, twelve thousand men and women." (Does anyone still wonder where the modern day Serbs, the late David Koresh and the Israeli ethnic cleansers, religious nuts and bigots got their crackpot mentality?)

2 Kings 15:16 "As Menahem [then king of Israel, who had assassinated his predecessor] was on his way from Tirzah, he completely destroyed the city of Tappuah, its inhabitants, and the surrounding territory, because the city did not surrender to him. He even ripped open the bellies of all the pregnant women." (In more recent times [on April 9, 1948] Menachem Begin, who later was elected prime minister of the only alleged democracy in the Middle East, Israel, commanded a terrorist gang that attacked the small Palestinian village of Deir Yassin. Subsequent investigation by the International Red Cross discovered that 254 Arab men, women and children had been slaughtered and that several pregnant women had their stomachs ripped open. In 1978, Menachem Begin was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, an event that ought to be featured in Ripley's "Believe it or Not!")

Numbers 31:13-15 "Moses, Eleazer, and all the other leaders of the community went out of the camp to meet the army. Moses became angry with the officers, the commanders of battalions and companies, who had returned from the war. He asked, 'Why have you kept all the women alive?'" (After all, the Lord's command was to kill everybody! Or so the Book says.)

Verse 17 "So now kill every boy and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse but keep alive for yourselves all the girls and all the women who are virgins." (Does anyone still wonder where David Koresh got his despicable ideas about religion and sex?)

Numbers 33:51-52 "On the steppes of Moab beside the Jordan at Jericho the Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, you must drive all the inhabitants of the land out of your way…."  (Numbers 33:51-55 constitute the harsh, biblical basis of Zionism which leaves no room whatsoever for a theocratic, Zionist-based Israel to negotiate with the Palestinians a two-state solution to the Middle East Conflict - or even a one-state solution if that means sharing the land with Palestinians or other non-Jews.)

Verse 55 "But if you do not drive the inhabitants of the land out of your way . . . I will treat you as I intended to treat them." (In his article, "Bible Diplomacy," I. F. Stone commented on these horrific verses in Numbers 33: "If the Jews do not drive out the Canaanites, God will drive out the Jews. This is the harsh theology of depopulating a land to make room for one’s own." Washington Post, August 19, 1977.  For more harsh theology - satanic verses - see  http://www.come-and-hear.com/supplement/ot-select.html .)

Notes: The above pledge of allegiance to Israel is reputed to be taken by 99 percent of all members of Congress immediately upon taking office. Its author is thought to be that illustrious U.S. statesman, Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson, who gave new meaning to the word "obscene" by kissing Israel’s ass. Since the founding of Israel, President Dwight D. Eisenhower is believed to be the only U.S. president who adamantly refused to take this infamous pledge.

The observant reader will have noticed that the ancient neocons, just as the modern day ones, were commanded by their god who to kill and when.  The modern-day neocons must be experiencing really warm, fuzzy feelings just knowing - er, uh, well, at least believing - that they have their very own god - Yahweh - as their super Commander-in-Chief of the United States armed forces as they anxiously anticipate his every command concerning which country must be invaded next or even nuked.  Will it be Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt or Saudi Arabia?  The world - wobbling and trembling on its axis - is fearfully awaiting the next Holy Commands for war to be issued directly from the White House by way of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.
