THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL (1976; Eye TV/Intravenous Video).
First broadcast on October 29, 1976, this hour-long TV-special is so excruciatingly ill-conceived that it's difficult to avert your eyes from the multi-career carnage -- it's not unlike driving past a highway pile-up, and suddenly spotting Paul Lynde's sneering, severed head hanging from a shattered windshield. But first, some backstory for younger readers unfamiliar with Lynde. Thanks to '60s and '70s TV-gigs like BEWITCHED and THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES, the 'flamboyant' (nudge nudge) Paul Lynde became one of the biggest, cruelest, barely-closeted douchebags in Hollywood. And at the height of his comedic fame, some coked-up ABC exec greenlighted this holiday fiasco, which is loaded with guest stars and (in the rudest in-joke of all) begins with perpetual-asshole Lynde in a Santa suit! He looks so uncomfortable that you'd think he was being forced to perform a gynecological exam. The slim excuse for a plot has Margaret Hamilton as Paul's homonculus housekeeper, who takes him to her sister's creepy manor on Halloween night. Suddenly Hamilton transforms into her old WIZARD OF OZ Wicked Witch of the West costume, while sis is H.R. Pufnstuf's Witchiepoo, Billie Hayes! They hope to hire Lynde as a "spokeshuman" who'll convince the world that witches are cool, in exchange for three wishes -- with each wish segueing into one bile-rising skit after another. First up, Paul is the 18-wheeled, white-pleathered "Rhinestone Trucker." In an effort to find a guest star with even less testosterone than Paul, Tim Conway plays his CB-buddy, and both fight over truckstop waitress Roz "Pinky Tuscadero" Kelly. Next up, Lynde is a Valentino-style desert sheik, "Florence of Arabia," who attempts to seduce Florence Henderson (hey, if '60s audiences believed Robert Reed could do it, why not Paul?). Finally, Lynde and the witches host a Halloween disco, with Henderson warbling a 'groovy' cover of "That Old Black Magic." The only genuine highlight is an appearance by KISS, with full regalia and pyrotechnics, performing three tunes from the recently-released "Destroyer" album: "Detroit Rock City," "King of the Night Time World" and "Beth." The band merely seems bored while bantering with Lynde, but later looks like they're ready to can their management and slit their own throats when forced to sit in on a "Disco Lady" finale with the whole cast. Also look for Billy Barty playing the witches' butler and a diner cook, and Donny & Marie Osmond making a public-service cameo by putting Lynde in a garbage can. Musically inept and comedically challenged, it's hard to imagine anyone having the nerve to accept a paycheck for this lame drivel. That includes talentless fat-fuck co-writer Bruce Vilanch (in an early gig back when he was still penning stale one-liners for Manilow and Midler), director Sidney Smith and production supervisor William Asher, who all deserve an extra circle of Hell as punishment for this kitsch abomination.

The letter George Washington wrote to the Rabbi of the Touro Synagogue made clear the issue. Basically he said...
you are welcome to be here and practice your religion as long as you are productive citizens and support our form of Government.
The Zionists of AIPAC & PNAC have clearly violated that understanding, perhaps George Walker Bush III's fatuous, untrue, and now hypocritical words of "with us or against us" should now be applied to them? Hmmmm?

IS ZIONISM RACISM?
Yes, but not inherently
On August 31, the UN will convene a conference on racism that has already caused a storm of controversy here in the United States and abroad. We have only to invoke its formal name, the "World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance," to get some idea of the bogus nature of this fabulous convocation. No doubt the alleged "rights" of each and every aggrieved "minority" on earth will be trotted out and their loss ascribed to the evil machinations of white male patriarchs whose very existence is an affront to Disabled Lesbians of Color the world over.
PROPAGANDA PLOY
The international Left, armed with the systematized victimology of Michel Foucault and the brash self-confidence of those who have nothing to lose but their white male guilt, may be intellectually and politically bankrupt, but they know a good propaganda ploy when they see one. They have very cleverly seized on two issues – Israel and reparations for American blacks as restitution for slavery – and run with them, and the Bush administration has been forced to respond with a threat to boycott the meeting. While maintaining that they really do want to attend, US officials were clear that if the "Zionism-is-racism" and reparations issues were raised the American delegates would somehow manage to miss their planes. "The United States intends to go to this conference. The only thing that would stop the United States from going," said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, "is in the event that this conference and its organizers equate Zionism with racism in the agenda leading up to the conference or if they look backward at the very tangled question of reparations and slavery.''
LOOKING BACKWARD
Oh yes, we mustn't "look backward," at least not too far. Naturally, it's okay to look back at the Holocaust, and at the depredations faced by blacks in the American south in, say, the 1950s and '60s. But as for examining how the Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes by Zionist ideologues in league with various colonial powers (the Ottomans, the British, the Americans) – forget it. As Israeli bulldozers demolish Palestinian homes, and the blood of their children stains the soil that is no longer theirs, Zionism in action certainly seems like racism to them. But, then, these are the victims of Zionism, and what do they know?
ZIONISM AND THE LEFT
Zionism was originally a tendency of the Left, a subset of the socialist movement inspired by Marx, the German Social Democracy, and the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party of Lenin's time. As such, it was egalitarian, internationalist, and its militants were convinced that with the onset of true socialism, all racial and religious strife would automatically disappear along with capitalism, the nuclear family, and bourgeois individualism. It was only later that the right-wing "revisionist" school, embodied by today's Likud party, arose amid the realities of the Zionist project. For the onset of Israeli socialism did not give rise to the idyllic commune envisioned by Zionists of the Left, but to an increasingly militarized and expansionist society that turned the Palestinians into an inferior caste. Labor Zionism created the supreme irony: Israeli national socialism.
THEY CAME AS LIBERATORS . . .
The tragic inversion of the original Zionist vision is a function of the failure of socialism. The all-powerful Israeli state, invested with total power over the economy, naturally sought to expropriate the private property of the Palestinians. In the Zionist socialist mindset, these were the evil landlords, who were oppressing the Palestinian workers and peasants. That they were also an obstacle to the creation of an explicitly Jewish state was obscured in a fog of left-wing jargon. The Palestinians understood this very well, however, and failed to welcome the Zionists as their liberators. Why, those ingrates even resisted this latest assault by foreign religious zealots with some imagined theological claim to their land and livelihood, just as they had resisted the medieval Crusaders. Palestinian hostility to Zionist aims led to an equal and opposite reaction, and Zionism began to evolve in a troubling direction.
. . . AND ENDED UP AS CONQUERORS
Imbued with a religious dimension, the Zionist brand of socialism easily took on a millennialist coloration, which, early on, inspired its fanatical adherents to commit acts of terrorism against civilians with impunity. The Stern Gang and other underground groups were no less violent than Hamas. The only difference is that they had a success that Hamas can only dream of: they won, after all, and their leaders became the founders and chief executives of the Israeli state.
DEGENERATE SOCIALISM
Once in power, Zionism became an ideology that justified what we call today "ethnic cleansing," the systematic expulsion of entire communities based on their ethnicity. The aim of this Israeli government policy was to repopulate the emptied land with settlers, replacing the ousted Palestinians with the aliyah (or in-migration) of their religious brethren from all over the world. The last dregs of the "internationalism" of this variety of socialism was an appeal to the Jews – not the workers – of all countries to unite in a single nation, a clarion call that married the narrowest exclusivity with the "proletarian internationalism" of classical Marxism.
LOVE IS BLIND
"Love," said the novelist Ayn Rand, "is exception-making," and certainly by this standard the relation between Israel and the US can only be described as torrid. We ignore, in Israel, the sort of actions that would normally have the US government in a permanent lather. Here, after all, is a state that brazenly discriminates on the basis of religion: Jews from all over the world have the "right of return," and are granted automatic citizenship as well as numerous subsidies, but Palestinians displaced by Israeli bulldozers have no such rights.
WEIMAR ISRAEL
The Israeli government, which directly subsidizes religion and regulates social and economic life so that it conforms to the strictures of a religious dogma, is arguably a theocracy closer to the Iranian model than to any Western democracy. But the Zionists make the mullahs look mild in comparison, for consider their actions: a whole population has been ghettoized and corralled, much as the Jews of medieval Europe were penned up in overcrowded fenced-off areas, and all on the basis of race and ethnicity. The last government that did these sorts of things also massacred multi-millions, at least 6 million of which were Jews. The irony of this should leave a bitter aftertaste in the mind of the reader, while I segue safely on to the next paragraph.
OPEN BORDERS? NOT ALWAYS . . .
It is also interesting to note that some of the biggest advocates of the alleged benefits of virtually unlimited immigration – Norman Podhoretz, Ben Wattenberg, and many non-Jewish neoconservatives come to mind – would never dream of imposing such an "open borders" regime on Israel. For that would lead, very shortly, to the demise of Israel as a specifically Jewish state, and would force Israelis to make a fateful choice between Zionism and democracy – and basic human decency. Indeed, they are already making that choice in favor of the former as Ariel Sharon gets ready to impose a semi-Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem.
BLOOD BROTHERS
Even as the US applauds the kidnapping and prosecution of Slobodan Milosevic for alleged war crimes, we aid and abet eerily similar crimes in the Holy Land. If Milosevic is guilty of "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia, and Kosovo, then didn't the same sort of war crimes occur in Palestine? More interestingly, weren't these atrocities rationalized by two varieties of national socialism that are brothers under the skin?
FLYING STANDBY
With the threat of a Danish court to indict the Israeli ambassador to Denmark, Israeli ambassadors all over the world must be wondering whether to pack their bags rather than take the risk. After all, the evidence of Israeli war crimes is a lot more plentiful and convincing than what Carla Del Ponte has on Slobo.
A SOCIALIST SPARTA
So, is Zionism racism? If we are talking about the Zionism that is, then the answer is an emphatic yes. But Zionism per se – the idea that Jews, like all peoples, have the right to national and cultural self-determination – is certainly not inherently racist. While the term has been much abused – indeed, in our era, it enjoys a special status as the single most abused term in the English language – racism is a valid concept in its original meaning, which is a variety of collectivism based on race instead of class. Yet Zionism could conceivably be separated out from its collectivist historical roots, and understood as a strategy for the survival of the Jewish people. If Zionism is seen as a survival strategy, then the interests of the Jewish people cannot be well-served by the unabashed arrogance and violence of the present regime. The founders of the Zionist ideal must be spinning in their graves. Instead of building a socialist Elysian Fields they birthed a theocratic Sparta.
PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE KEY
Conceived in this pure, a-historical sense, Zionism could conceivably evolve in a free market and therefore a just direction. This movement would depend on the growth of a libertarian tendency in Israeli society, one that is based on the inviolability and centrality of property rights as the basis of a free and prosperous commonwealth. There is no such movement in Israel, at present, and no sign that one will arise in time to avert disaster.
LIBERTY, LAND, AND JUST RESTITUTION
Furthermore, a truly libertarian movement in Israel would be concerned, above all, with the protection and restoration of just titles to land and other property: once in power, Israeli libertarians would not only denationalize but also restore stolen property to its rightful owners or their heirs. For the defense of private property, the prerequisite for human civilization, does not exist only in the present, but must extend back in time – and there is no cutoff point, nor can there be. For what is the difference, in terms of justice as an absolute principle, if my stolen property is recovered and I or my heirs are recompensed inside of five minutes, five hours, five weeks, or five centuries? While the original victims of a theft may be long dead, their heirs and legatees are still being ripped off, continually, so long as restitution is not made.
THE STOLEN BICYCLE PRINCIPLE
This principle applies to the bicycle you stole when you were in high school (all those years ago) and is still stored away in your parents' garage, and to the Israeli government, which has expropriated, bulldozed, and overrun the private property of Palestinians. Justice will not be done until you return that bike to its rightful owners – the family of the kid you stole it from. (He has since passed away, but his family still lives in the old neighborhood and they always wondered what happened to that bike.) The same principle applies to Palestinians – and to American blacks, whose very liberty was stolen from them.
REPARATIONS AS BOURGEOIS RIGHT
The international Left has latched on to issues that, ironically, should be of paramount concern to those who uphold a thoroughgoing enforcement of property rights and strict adherence to free markets, that is, markets cleansed of all coercion and fraud, whether past or present. The "reparations" movement that has sprung up among blacks, for all its demagogic white-baiting, has a kind of popular resonance not because it is revolutionary but precisely due to its complaint that the rules of a bourgeois society based on property rights are not being followed to the letter. Something was stolen from us, they aver, and justice requires restitution.
A HINT
Like Zionism, the reparations movement arose out of a sense of perceived injustice – a violation of property rights. This is not a socialist or leftist grievance, but the complaint of a dispossessed owner. For a libertarian solution – or, at least, a basis for one – see page 75 of the New York University Press edition of Murray N. Rothbard's The Ethics of Liberty. This reference will have to suffice, for the moment: it can be only a hint of a column to come, as this column is already overly long.
A SINKING FEELING
For the moment, however, let us focus on the UN conference itself, and the sheer unselfconscious pomposity of such an event, reflected in its official title. The absurdity of Americans being judged by the tribal chiefs of Zimbabawe and the mullahs of Tazikistan gives the whole production the air of Kakfa novel, a surrealistic nightmare in broad daylight. This is the Zeitgeist of the new millennium, the cultural ethos of the New World Order: the sinking feeling that we Americans are caught in a bad dream from which there is no awakening.
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The only good thing about the UN racism conference is that it further discredits the idea that the UN has any moral legitimacy or authority over the people of the United States, or that it ought to. Unfortunately, the efforts of the Left to discredit the US abroad are aided and abetted by Washington's unconditional support for Israel. Such a policy is not in America's national self-interest: furthermore, as long as we subsidize and encourage the Israelis by our silence, we enable them to carry out what are genuine war crimes against the Palestinian people.

Why Zionism Is Racism
Zionism is a racist and irredeemable movement, like Bolshevism, Nazism, and Apartheid.
By Rabee' Sahyoun
Posted: 11 Rabi-u-Thani 1422, 3 July 2001
(Note: This article is a direct response, using the same format, on a line by line basis, to an editorial that appeared in the Montreal Gazette on April 26, 2001, written by Gil Troy, a Professor of History at McGill University.)
On this, the 53rd anniversary of the Nakbe' (the Catastrophe of the Palestinian people), it is all too tempting for friend and foe alike to define Israel, and zionism, solely by the Americans' proclamations of its enlightened democracy. To do so is to miss the normal atrocities that occur in Israel daily, the millions who are under curfew and blockade, starving and brutalized, in the Middle East's only colonized state. To do so is to feign the reality of zionism, a racist and irredeemable movement, that survived the twentieth centuries' other genocidal and seemingly passing revolutions such as Bolshevism, Nazism, and Apartheid.
A century ago, zionism extended Western colonialism to Palestine.
The sad truth is that over a century after its founding, zionism seems to be grander and more honorable than its reality. Arabs have suffered from Zionism's belligerence and exclusivity, and many have blamed the United States, and the West, for this because of their unshakeable support of zionism. Israeli aggression over the past seven months has finally renewed international recognition that zionism is racism.
On this anniversary of the Nabke', it is now up to all Jews to follow in the footsteps of the brave few, and denounce the racist and separatist nature of zionism, while the world should encourage them to do so. The world should not allow the torchbearers of zionism to silence and quell the idealism of these few. No nationalism is pure, no movement is perfect, no state is ideal, but today, Zionism persists as a menace, a militaristic and dictatory movement to me and to most Palestinians. A century ago, zionism extended Western colonialism to Palestine; today, as in the rest of the world, colonialism must be ideologically purged from Palestine.
I believe that zionism is racism, because 53 years after being exiled from their homeland, in defiance of the four Geneva Conventions, UN Resolutions 181, 194, 242, 338, and others, and other multilateral and international human rights conventions, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the disinherited refugees of Palestine, continue to endure merciless punishment from the Zionist entity, most recently in the bulldozing of makeshift homes in the Khan Younis refugee camp in Gaza.
I believe that zionism is racism, because I am a Palestinian, and without recognizing the colonialist component in zionism, I cannot explain its racist character, a western movement uprooting the native peoples of Palestine, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Samaritan alike, a people bound to their land, through centuries of raising orange groves, and herding sheep, lending grace to the Hills of God, historically, religiously and culturally.
I believe that zionism is racism, because it fails to appreciate or acknowledge the Palestinians' ties to their homeland, their love for their historical capital, Jerusalem, and the 53-yar plight they have endured as refugees worldwide, in Europe, in North America, in camps Dheishe, Shatila, Wehdaat and others, never giving up hope or struggle in yearning to return home.
I believe that zionism is racism, because it fails to admit the reality that the minority indigenous Jewish community in Palestine, that lived there for the last two thousand years, was an undistinguishable people from its Christian and Muslim Palestinian brethren, and that the leader of the Jewish community of the Jewish quarter of Old Jerusalem, Rabbi Lamram Blau, stood on the side of his Palestinian brothers and sisters being exiled in 1948.
I believe that zionism is racism because in modern times, the promise of liberal democracy and justice is a double-edged sword, preached by the Western powers, yet only paid lip-service to in the case of Israel, where Palestinian are continuously expelled, ethnically cleansed, and subjugated, and in the cases where they are assimilated, they are granted, limited, if any, civil rights.
I believe that zionism is racism, because in establishing the racially exclusive state of Israel, in 1948, and expelling the indigenous Palestinians from the land, the zionists severed a relationship that people had to the land for over 4,000 years, uninterrupted, since before Abraham.
I believe that zionism is racism, because in building Israel, the zionists were revising history, embracing the notion of racial superiority, an ideology that has empowered them to discriminate, with all of its associated social ills, injustices, and moral bankruptcy.
I believe that zionism is racism because it fails to distinguish between the nationalism of the American, based on multi-cultural harmony, and the racial exclusivity, separatism, ethnic cleansing, and brutality of zionism, that stands in clear violation of the most basic elements of international law and human rights practices, as most recently highlighted by reports issued by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
I believe that zionism is racism because in our world of post-modern identities, I know that we do not have to be "either-ors", we can be "ands and buts" – a zionist and a settler, an American citizen of Polish heritage but a soldier in the Israeli army.
I believe that zionism is racism because it self-propagates itself as a democratic movement. However, a democracy, cannot, by definition, only be representative of one community in a bi-national and tri-religious contiguous geographic area. A democracy cannot exist for one people and not for another. This as called Apartheid in South Africa, and is now called zionism in Palestine.
I believe that zionism is racism, because it espouses an independent and sovereign Jewish state, in a land where there is no Jewish majority. It espouses that such a sovereign state be at peace and harmony with its neighbors without allowing the Palestinian refugees dwelling within their borders, who were expelled from their homes in Palestine by zionist militias, as is clearly documented by numerous sources including the memoirs of David-Ben Gurion himself, to return to their homes, which is a basic human right guaranteed by Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
I believe that zionism is racism because it is presented by its champions, from Gil Troy to Elie Wiesel, as a romantic movement, which allowed zionists to reclaim the desert and build a model nation-state. This is racism at its most acute, since there was no desert in Palestine, other than the Negev in the South. This is simply a myth that has been propagated by racists who have supported Israel for the last 53 years, and economic data on agricultural exports to Europe from Palestine dating to medieval times easily rejects and exposes this as a blasphemous claim.
Yes, it sounds far-fetched today. But as Vladamir Jabotinsky, father of revisionist zionism said in a racist boast in 1923, "There can be no discussion of a voluntary reconciliation between us and the Arabs… Any native people…view their country as their national home… They will not voluntarily allow, not only a new master, but even a new partner… Colonization can have only one goal. For the Palestinian Arabs this goal is inadmissible. This is in the nature of things. To change that nature is impossible… colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population - an iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy."
And thus, Gil Troy and zionists abound are exposed as nothing more than unabashed racists.

You would not believe this, but when we were with Eric, Bones said, 'Hey Mom! Tell Eric about the Llama song! He doesn't know it!" We kept telling him that Eric did know it, but he didn't believe it. |
