The aftermath of this kind of communicative is material on the Warsaw paper websiteIt states that the presence of an Israeli field infirmary in a war-torn Ukraine is the beginning of building a judaic state in this country and that similar actions are to take place in Poland. Even in fresh weeks, any net creators have returned to the widely understood concept of building “the Heavenly Jerusalem”.
Did Henry Kissinger anticipate the end of Israel in 10 years?
Leszek Pietrzak, a historian, erstwhile worker of the Institute of National Memory, the Office of State Protection and the Office of National Security, is simply a specialist in the video published on YouTube PL1. He presently runs his YouTube channel “Forbidden Stories” and cooperates with “Warsaw Newspaper” – a controversial weekly that refers, among others, to anti-Semitism and promotes anti-vaccine content.
In this material, originally posted on YouTube, Pietrzak puts the thesis, allegedly highly popular among analysts and experts on geopolitical issues, that “in 10 years there will be no Israel”. In his opinion, Henry Kissinger, erstwhile Secretary of State during the presidency of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, was to say these words.
After research, it turns out Kissinger didn't say anything like that. most likely as the first of these words Assigned The American diplomat, and even, colloquially, put them in his mouth, Cindy Adams, leading a gossip column in the "New York Post". There is besides much indication that the opinion that Kissinger is attributed to became ‘popular’ after it appeared in the aforementioned American tabloid. As a result, Tara Butzbaugh, an worker of Kissinger's office, denied this on September 25, 2012 in The Times of Israel..
Ihor Berkut and the task “The Heavenly Jerusalem”
Ihor Berkut (also known as Harry Berkut or Igor Gekko) is liable for the “Heavenly Jerusalem” project. This "enough mysterious figure of Ukrainian politics" is the leader of the insignificant pro-Russian organization large Ukraine. The politician spoke out against Ukrainian membership in global alliances and agreements specified as the North Atlantic Pact or the European Union. He besides supported pro-Russian separatistism in Ukraine. His organization has not actively participated in Ukraine's political life for many years, though – as 1 of Ukrainian services notes fact-checking – is inactive registered as active.
At the time of writing this article, the website of this political organization does not work. It besides appears that the site was active until 2014, and the last entries on it were posted in 2013. In 2020. Ukrainian portal Texty reported the arrest of Berkut and 2 another pro-Russian activists and to charge them, among others, with calling for a change in the constitutional strategy and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Is Israel planning to decision to southeast Ukraine?
Due to the threat from the arabian States, Israel would decision to southeastern Ukraine. According to the video released on YouTube, "The Heavenly Jerusalem" would be established within the limits of today's circuits of djeepropetrovsk, Zaporosian, Khersonian, Nikolayevsky and Odski. In this false material, the narrator states that the choice was made for this region, since in the mediate Ages it was part of the state of the Chazars in which Judaism was to be a religion.
Source: PL1.TVThe Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkish people who, after conflicts with the Arabs, moved their capital to Itil in 737 – a city close the Volga mouth. In the following years they began to grow west and in the 8th century they peaked at their power. The state of the Chazars then extended from the northern coast of the Black Sea (specifically from the lower Volga and Caspian Sea) to the east to Dnieper in the west. any written sources that can be dated to the 9th and 10th centuries study that in the 8th century the Chazars were to adopt Judaism as their religion. In the technological world, this hypothesis raises quite a few controversy and is the subject of many fierce discussions and disputes.
Shaul Stampfer, prof. at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has been on the subject for many years, and his investigation has culminated article published in judaic Social Studies in 2013 The student states that the texts analysed by him are pseudoepigraphs (works whose authorship is attributed to a peculiar person, and in fact they were written by individual else), and reliable texts do not mention the alleged conversion of the Chazars to Judaism by many. Moreover, there is no archaeological evidence of the alleged change in their religion. Shaul Stampfer besides gave his opinion on the subject in 2015 lecture prepared for the Museum of the past of Polish Jews Polin, in which he explained that the sources of conversion of the nomadic people to Judaism are internally contradictory, illogical, contain factual errors and should so be regarded as false.
Source: YouTubeAt the moment, there is no convincing evidence that the Chazars have accepted Judaism. This conclusion should so be considered as unfounded.
Secret Agreement between Israel and Ukraine
In the following part of the movie published by PL1.TV, the aforementioned Leszek Pietrzak informs that the governments of Israel and Ukraine have concluded a secret agreement concerning the settlement of Jews in south-eastern Ukraine. In many places of the network, you can find fragments pasted from 1 source, saying that “Times of Israel” was to inform about the alleged conclusion of a secret agreement. This passage appears in the context of the “Jewish Republic in Crimea” and an analysis of the geopolitical situation of Israel, which Pietrzak conducted for the Financial Gazette. Both articles appeared in September 2018. It is worth reminding that Leszek Pietrzak has late returned to the subject of secret agreements between Kiev and Jerusalem on his YouTube channel in film “The Future of Israel”, published on 25 March 2022.
From a logical point of view, if the agreements are secret, there is small chance that they will see the light of day and know only a fistful of people active in diplomatic talks. The red light in this case should besides light the reader's recalling an anonymous origin from the environment of Benjamin Netanyahu, the then Prime Minister of Israel, and the device re-painting of the aforementioned passage.
It is impossible to find where the conspiracy environments received this top-secret information, but they are not confirmed in any past or present Israeli activities.
Source: Forbidden storiesSummary
The full communicative line for both attempts to build Israel in the southeast Ukraine and Poland are based on the sensation, mystery and cognition held by a fewer online experts who have reviewed the alleged conspiracy.
False assumptions are supported by the authority of experts and academic degrees (in this case Henry Kissinger and Dr Leszek Pietrzak). Issues whose designation in the academic community is at least dubious are presented as historical truth. In the end, it is worth noting that according to Report CyberPolicy NASK The alleged ‘New Chazaria’ and ‘New Jerusalem’ are among the axes of Russian disinformation. In this context, it should not be amazing that the movie presenting false communicative gained a second life just erstwhile Russia attacked Ukraine. Neither should the political activity of Ihor Berkut, his firming of the “Heavenly Jerusalem” and his detention by the Ukrainian services be a shock.
