Roald Dahl wrote famous children’s books such as these…

Dahl was born in Wales, but his parents were Norwegian -- hence his Norwegian name.

In 1939 he joined the British Air Force, and fought Germans in North Africa. He crashed in Egypt and was badly injured, but eventually recovered and flew air combat missions over Greece in 1941.

In the summer of 1983 he wrote a Literary Review of the book God Cried by Newsweek writer Tony Clifton, plus photographer Catherine Leroy. The book is a record of Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon.

Dahl's says in his review of the book that the Israeli attack in June 1982 was when "we all started hating Israel," and that God Cried would make readers "violently anti-Israeli.”

In 1983, he told a reporter that: "There is a streak in the Jewish character that provokes animosity.” He also said that even a man such as Hitler did not pick on Jews for no reason.

Dahl made several other statements around that time regarding Jewish people, which caused a serious backlash in the USA. Booksellers stopped selling his books. Zionists returned his books to his publisher with letters protesting Dahl's “anti-semitism.”

Dahl said he was not anti-Semitic, but anti-Israel, because of the invasion of Lebanon.

He hated Israel the rest of his life. Shortly before his death in 1990, he told the British newspaper The Independent, "I'm certainly anti-Israeli, and I've become anti-Semitic -- in as much as Jewish people in England strongly support Zionism.”

He also said that Jews "control the media.”

Wikipedia calls him anti-Semitic.

Concerning the book GOD CRIED, Catherine Leroy (French-born photojournalist) won many awards for her work in combat zones. Her pictures are on the covers of LIFE magazine when LIFE was still being published.

In 1968, the North Vietnamese captured her during the Tet Offensive, but Leroy managed to talk her way out, and returned to Saigon with a unique document of the North Vietnamese Army in action. Her story was featured on the cover of LIFE magazine.

In 1972 she shot and directed a film titled "The Last Patrol" about Ron Kovic and the anti-war Vietnam veterans.

After the Vietnam War, she covered conflicts in Somalia, Afghanistan, Cyprus, Iran, Iraq, and Libya, among others.

However nothing prepared her for what she saw when the Israelis invaded Lebanon in 1982. Israeli atrocities were so extreme that she never covered war again. (She died on 11 July 2006 in Santa Monica, California.)

Newsweek journalist Tony Clifton wrote the text of God Cried. He had worked in various parts of the world, including Biafra, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Saigon, and Iran. As with Ms. Leroy, nothing prepared him for the Israeli atrocities.

Ms. Leroy photographed the results of the Israeli-planned massacre of 3,500 people at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps (September 1982). She and Clifton say this massacre was nightmarish, but the Israeli siege of West Beirut was much worse. The Israelis murdered over 19,000 Lebanese, Palestinians, and Syrians. The architect of this slaughter was Israeli defense minister Ariel Sharon.

God Cried gives photographic proof that the Israelis deliberately targeted schools, hospitals and apartment blocs – all of which were clearly marked.

At one point, Catherine Leroy focused on a high-rise apartment building in the Rue Assi, Beirut. The Israelis specifically targeted it, and their bombs made the large building collapse, burying several hundred people in the rubble. Day after day Leroy returned to photograph the search for bodies. A young man who waited for news of relatives asked her why she was taking so many photos. Leroy said she did not want things like this to be forgotten. The young man asked why shouldn't it be forgotten. "Who cares about us? They'll keep doing this to us again and again. You're wasting your time here."

During Israel’s siege, Tony Clifton sent dispatches to Newsweek, describing how the Israelis carpet-bombed slums and refugee camps. The Newsweek editors sanitized all reports. Words such as “indiscriminate bombing” were removed.

Eventually the massacres became so extreme that the U.S. and Israeli censors could no longer conceal them, and President Reagan finally begged Israeli prime minister Begin to stop.

Leroy photographed -- and Clifton recorded – stories such as the tragedy of the Assaf family. A shell crashed in the children's bedroom in the middle of the night, and the children’s mother found eleven-year-old Lina Assaf lying with blood gushing out of the stump where her left leg used to be. Beside her, drenched in blood, screaming hysterically, was her seven-year-old sister Linda. The trauma drove Linda mad, and she remains a mental cripple to this day.

What Israel did to Lebanon, the USA is doing on a much larger scale in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel uses F-15s and F-16s for carpet-bombing. The USA uses B-52s and B-2s.

Again I say Zionists could never have gained total control of the USA if the USA were not warlike to begin with.
