Israel Shamir (born 1947[1]) is a writer and journalist.[2] He is a commentator on Arab - Israeli relations and Jewish culture.[3][4][5] He is originally from Novosibirsk, Siberia and moved to Israel in 1969, served as paratrooper in the army and fought in the 1973 war. He took up journalism and writing in 1975.[6]
As an author
In February 2005 Labour life peer Nazir Ahmed held a book launch for Shamir in the House of Lords.[7]
Personal life
In 2004 Shamir was baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem by Archbishop Theodosios (Atallah) Hanna of Sabastia and given the name Adam.[6]
Views
He is critical of what he considers the Jewish quest for world hegemony, having written, "Palestine is not the ultimate goal of the Jews; the world is. Palestine is just the place for world state headquarters; necessary, for otherwise the people of Europe wouldn't be magnetised like a rabbit in the headlights of a car."[4]
Shamir has argued that there is organized Jewish control of the media and public discourse: "The rich Jews buy media so it will cover up their (and their brethren's) misdeeds. The Jews in the media are giving protection to the rich Jews. ... In the US, even in Western Europe, no view can be proposed to the general public unless approved (after being vetted and corrected) by a Jewish group."[5]
Shamir is a supporter of the proposed one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[9]
Views on the Holocaust
Shamir regards mainstream historical views on the Holocaust to be the product of Jewish conspiracy, "the official version provided by Jewish organisations as the Holy Writ given to Moses on Mt Sinai," and he wrote that "holocaust dogma is a basic tenet in the great world-embracing brainwashing machine of mass media."[10]
Shamir has stated in an interview, "I think it is every Muslim's and Christian's duty to deny the Holocaust, to reject this belief, just as Abraham and Moses rejected the idols. Any person who confesses to God should deny the Holocaust."[11] He has argued for the post-war invention of the claim of industrial-scale extermination at Auschwitz: "This idea of 'bombing Auschwitz' makes sense only if one accepts the vision of 'industrial extermination factory', and it was formed only well after the war."[12]
The wide-spread acceptance of the historicity of the Holocaust is, he argues, a result of Jewish media control of public discussion: "But its success and its integration show that the mass media machine is well integrated and concentrated in philosemitic, mostly Jewish hands. The occupation of Palestine by Jews is painful, but it is not more harmful than this captivity of free discourse."[10]
