Ayatollah of the RAF: Academic 'university' head is Muslim convert who claims Nazi gas chambers were British propaganda and criticises Libya air strikes
Last updated at 11:42 AM on 7th August 2011
The head of studies at the Royal Air Force pilot training college is a convert to Islam who has criticised Nato air strikes on Libya in a Muslim magazine.
Dr Joel Hayward is dean of the college at Cranwell, the RAF's equivalent of Sandhurst, and has taught many of the pilots spearheading the military operation against Colonel Gaddafi.
But, to the dismay of defence chiefs, he has cast doubt on the widely held belief that the Nato actions averted the mass killing of civilians in Benghazi. He also warned against the RAF becoming 'the air corps of a rebel army'.

Dr Hayward has previously expressed remorse after appearing to claim that far fewer Jews were killed by the Nazis than generally thought and that the gas chambers of the Holocaust were British propaganda.
In another article recently he likened Churchill to Mohammed.
The magazine article on Libya was published under the headline 'The West runs the risks of its good intentions (and inconsistencies) leading to distrust'.
Dr Hayward wrote: 'When western aircrafts began to destroy tanks and a downpour of missiles wrecked Libya's air force and air defence system, various leaders congratulated themselves for preventing an "atrocity" or "slaughter" - evocative words which conjured up images of a Srebrenica-style massacre [the 1995 killing of Bosnian Muslims].
'Yet we do not know that his army would have "slaughtered" civilians in a Srebrenica-style massacre.'

Dr Hayward also takes issue with the UN Security Council resolution authorising 'all necessary measures' to protect civilians from the dictator's forces.
Describing the resolution as 'elastic', he says: 'Strangely, that resolution condemned human rights abuses and torture to which the world (and the UN) had turned a blind eye for decades.'
His views and behaviour have caused disquiet among senior officers at RAF Cranwell, Lincolnshire, where he is the most senior academic and taught Prince William.
In a letter to The Mail on Sunday entitled The Air Force Ayatollah, one senior officer expressed concern that Dr Hayward was focusing more on 'Islamist activities that are nothing to do with the RAF'.

He also accused him of giving Muslim cadets preferential treatment and making other students take a 'softly, softly line when writing about Muslim terrorists/Islamist extremists'.
Another officer claimed cadets and lecturers 'are in fear' of expressing anything that might be construed as anti-Muslim sentiment. 'Anyone who fails to follow the line that Islam is a peace-loving religion is hauled into his office for re-education,' he said.
Last night Dr Hayward said he did not 'recognise' the allegations.
The Mail on Sunday understands that Dr Hayward's views have embarrassed RAF chiefs, who feel that while he is entitled to his opinions, it was unwise for him to air them in a Muslim magazine.
Conservative MP Patrick Mercer, former chairman of the Commons counter-terrorism sub-committee, said: 'I am delighted that the dean is not restricted in what he can say, as he would be in Islamist societies.
'However, I very much hope that his views don't conflict with any of his professional duties when teaching Her Majesty's officers.'
It is not the first time the New Zealand-born academic has attracted controversy. In 2000, he was accused of denying the Holocaust after the publication of a thesis he had written in 1993 questioning the number of Jews killed. He claimed the idea of gas chambers being used was propaganda invented by Britain, the US and Jewish lobbyists. He has since expressed remorse over the 'mistakes I made as an inexperienced student'.
Dr Hayward has frequently challenged claims of Islamic aggressiveness. Most recently, he wrote on the subject for the Cordoba Foundation, described by David Cameron as a front for the Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. In that article, Dr Hayward likens the prophet Mohammed's inspirational qualities to that of Sir Winston Churchill. He said Mohammed had to go to extra lengths – just as Churchill did in the Second World War - to exhort his people to believe in victory and fight for it.
Dr Hayward was appointed to RAF Cranwell in 2007, but was investigated the following year over complaints of 'harassment and bullying'. It is not clear what became of the investigation. He is employed not by the RAF but by King's College, London, which runs academic courses at Cranwell.
Dr Hayward defended his article on Nato airstrikes and said he wants a free Libya without Gaddafi. He added: 'I write articles on a range of subjects for various scholarly journals and consistently the publications are anti-extremism, anti-terrorism and encouraging of a closer bond between the West and the Arab world.
'In no sense am I anti-Western, I am proud to be Western, I strongly believe in the value system that we have in Britain. I believe in equality, democracy, freedom, plurality, human rights, women's rights.'
An RAF spokesman said: 'Dr Hayward writes for a number of publications. These activities are conducted in his own time and do not impinge on his duties in support of the RAF.'

Gilad Atzmon: The Landlord Wannabe Protest

Gilad Atzmon: The Landlord Wannabe Protest
It is almost amusing to find out that some of the most clichéd Marxists around are so taken by the current Israeli popular protest, which they foolishly interpret as a manifestation of the 'Israeli revolutionary spirit'. They are convinced that now that the Israeli 'working class' are rising, peace will necessarily prevail.
Yet in fact, what we are really seeing unfold in Israel ( at least for the time being ) is the total opposite of a 'working class' re-awakening. Indeed, some in Israel are calling it the 'Real Estate Protest,' because basically, those protesting want assets: they all wish to have property, a house of their own. They want to be landlords. They want the key, and they want it now. What we see in Tel Aviv has no similarity whatsoever to the struggles taking place in al-Tahrir or in Athens. At the most, the Israeli demonstrations mimic some manifestations of a struggle for justice or Socialist protest.
But that is where the similarities end.

Hello Giuseppe,
I wrote this message for the ReporterNotebook, but I don't know if it will be disseminated.I thought about sending you a copy directly in case it is not published.
Best regards,

==============================
Like many of their tribal brethren, Philip and Joel Levy are parasites that prey on the society they infest.
Over the years, these two crooks have scammed probably hundreds of millions of dollars from Medicaid.http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/02/nyregion/for-executives-at-group-homes-generous-pay-and-little-oversight.html?bl
Hardly a week goes by without news of some new large scale swindle or thievery that has been committed by members of their tribe.
The unreported crime, since it does not involve explosions, shooting and blood, is probably many times greater.
It is all in the blizzard of paper they are masters at generating. It takes grim determination on the part of a dedicated investigator to discover the scheme.
Often, the whole operation is plead away as "misunderstandings", "mistakes", "the accountant counseled me to"... etc.
Jail time is meted out to crushed any further, deeper investigation, like in the Bernie Madoff case.
While a large population, such as in the US, will support and suffer a number of petty criminals, swindlers and crooks, only members of the chosen have the audacity, total lack of scruples and Mephistophelean cranial capacity to escalate the crime to the grandiose level.
The average uncircumcised slob will make out with perhaps a few hundred thousand dollars. Even your John Dillingers and Willie Suttons of lore were content with measly hits that enabled them to splurge for few weeks of easy living at the time until brought down by the agents of the law. Typically, the ordinary crook will rake in much less, like the church bookkeeper who embezzles twenty grand from the poor box over the years.
Members of the chosen, however, think in terms of billions. Although few reach the rarefied stratum of a Bernie Madoff, many will make it into the tens and hundreds of millions range, as did the Levy brothers.
Meanwhile, nobody was watching the taxpayers money and nobody seems to be calling for J. Edgar Hoover.

I had an eerie experience yesterday: as I've got off a train in Stockholm and walked a few hundred meters to the bus stop, I have felt a strange sensation as if a child was shooting a toy air gun or a toy water gun into the small of my back. I turned back with an indulgent good-tempered smile ready to see a kid having fun. But there was a darkish slim Moroccan Jewish looking young man in his twenties, with a small blue backpack like the one preferred by the Shabak plain-clothes men as they walk the Old City of Jerusalem. The young man immediately turned away and made an impression he is looking for an entrance in the building. I shrugged and continued another ten meters to the bus stop. On the bus stop, another dark-skinned man made me a sign to look at my back. I took off my thick outer shirt and saw that its back was covered with something looking like glue or whitish liquid soap spray.
The young man came into the bus stop, and I asked him why did he do it; he vehemently denied it and run away looking scared; the second dark man also left without waiting for the bus.
I really do not know what it was: a threat? Warning? Execution in the daylight by some deadly stuff from Ness Ziona biowarfare? Or just a strange prank?
Nobody even knew that I am due in Stockholm... Anyway i took the first flight to Moscow.
