From: Karen Tahirah Jayes Subject: Response to Dis-chem CEO Salzman Salaam walaikum all, I am writing in response to the re-publishing of a portion of a letter written by Ivan Saltzman, CEO of Dis-Chem by The Herald newspaper (24 August, 2014) entitled “Many every day products come from Israel”. The letter, which was the subject of December 2011 report and has now resurfaced due to either editorial indiscretion on the part of The Herald, or a typically sly media bomb from the Zionist camp, has numerous inaccuracies. Although rehashing old copy is poor one-eyed journalism, the re-publishing of the letter does give an opportunity to dispel its lies once and for all. My full article is attached. Please feel free to distribute to your networks. Best wishes, Tahirah Article I am writing in response to the re-publishing of a portion of a letter written by Ivan Saltzman, CEO of Dis-Chem by The Herald newspaper (24 August, 2014) entitled “Many every day products come from Israel”. The letter, which was the subject of December 2011 report and has now resurfaced due to either editorial indiscretion on the part of The Herald, or a typically sly media bomb from the Zionist camp, has numerous inaccuracies. Although rehashing old copy is just plain bad journalism, the re-publishing of the letter does give an opportunity to dispel its lies once and for all. The letter was a response to a Dis-Chem customer, Fathima Moosa, who wrote to enquire as the reason behind Dis-Chem stocking Dead Sea beauty products – presumably Ahava products, which are currently the target of a successful international boycott campaign called Stolen Beauty (run by Code Pink), since they are produced from stolen Palestinian natural resources in the Occupied Territory of the West Bank, and are produced in the illegal settlement of Mitzpe Shalem. In his reply, Saltzman suggests that Moosa reconsider her stance based on the fact that Israel had “invented” numerous medical and other technologies, and that should she decide to boycott Israel, this would mean that she should boycott all these products, implying that by boycotting Israel she is denying herself of the right to live a full life. But Saltzman’s claims to Israeli innovation are false and can be disputed piece by piece. The first of his claims reads: “I hope you don’t use an Intel chip in your computer, with which you probably wrote your e-mail, because it was invented in Israel.” The first Intel microchip, the Intel 4004, was released in 1971 – but certainly not by Israel. Federico Faggin, an Italian-born physicist and US citizen proposed the project in 1970, formulated the architecture and led the design. Faggin’s invention was honoured in 2010, when he received the 2009 National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the highest award in the US for technological progress. He is still alive. After 4004, came the Intel 8008 and 4040 – the 4040 was introduced in 1974 also by the US-based Intel team. After that, the chip was modified numerous times. The modification of the 8086 design was one of the first jobs assigned to the Intel office in Haifa, Israel, in 1979, after which followed the 8088. But these were minor modifications and by no means inventions. In fact, the modifications to the 8088 made by the Haifa laboratory resulted in some defects in design that actually caused IBM substantial losses at the time. False medical invention claims “I hope that you stay in good health because if you need preventative surgery against a heart attack, you will have to boycott the procedure because the stent was invented in Israel,” he writes. In actual fact, the stent evolved through the use by many physicians of various compounds in surgery, starting with Jan Esser, a Dutch plastic surgeon who in 1916 used the word “stent” to describe a dental impression compound invented in 1856 by an English dentist Charles Stent. The first medical stents were invented by Hans Wallsten, a Swedish engineer. The first heart stent was invented in 1969 by a US vascular radiologist, Charles Theodore Dotter. The first coronary heart stent implantation was performed by Jacques Puel in France. The first FDA approved stent was invented by Gary S Roubin. The Argentinian doctor Julio Palmaz, invented the balloon expandable stent, for which he clinched the patent in 1988. Saltzman’s claims to Israeli ascendency in the realm of stent development could easily be disputed within a European or US patent court. “I hope you are never prescribed any patch for diabetes…” Saltzman says. The patch Saltzman is referring to is presumably the diabetes patch – still undergoing human trials under the US-based company Encapsulife, and invented by former astronaut and NASA researcher Dr Taylor Wang. Dr Wang is in fact a resident at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Other capsule-based diabetes treatments are available from medical companies based in Canada, New Zealand and the United States. But type 1 diabetes has also, thanks to current scientific research by among others, our very own Dr. Tim Noakes’, proven to be reversible through diet. “If you are an asthmatic,” quips Saltzman, “you may have to use a new type of inhaler (Spin) invented in Israel.” What Saltzman is referring to is the Spinhaler, one of numerous brands of inhalers advocated by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GIA). Other inhalers include the Accuhaler, Aerohaler, Aerolizer, Airma, Autohaler, Clickhaler, Diskhaler, Easi-Breathe, Fisionair and Integra, among others. Nonetheless the Spinhaler was in fact invented by an Englishman, Roger Altounyan, an ex-RAF pilot who used the principle of the propeller as the basis for this dry inhaler. His remarkable thought process is revealed here: https://youtube/watch?v=JV4TpyA_lyM. Saltzman then turns his Zionist pen to agriculture, claiming that “drip irrigation was invented by Israel”. Drip irrigation – when plants are watered gradually by a dripping action that saves water and prevents water logging and salination – in truth first appeared in ancient China. The subject of the book Fan Sheng-Chih Shu, drip irrigation is described through the use of unglazed clay pots filled with water that were buried and used as a means of slow irrigation. Drip irrigation was in fact first introduced to the Middle East by a Muslim. The 12th Century botanist Ibn al-Awwam, who lived in southern Spain, refers to drip irrigation in his Book of Agriculture (in Arabic Kitāb al-Filāḥa). He also partially buried water filled pots at the bases of trees, with specific sized holes for controlling the dripping rate. Modern drip irrigation began its development in Germany in 1860 when researchers began experimenting with subsurface irrigation using clay pipes. Perforated pipe systems were introduced in the 1920s, and the use of plastic to hold and distribute water in drip irrigation was later developed in Australia by Hannis Thill. One type of plastic pipe drip irrigation was developed – but not invented – in Israel by Simcha Blass and his son Yeshayahu. Blass was a Zionist, a Polish immigrant and a founding member of the Kibbutz Hatzerim, a settlement located 8km west of Beersheba in the Negev. Kibbutz Hatzerim was founded in 1946 and produced the first of the Haganah militias, rag-tag bands of Zionist Jews who raided Palestinian villages, and were reported by the New York Times to have reinforced the notorious Irgun and Stern Gangs in their massacre of over 100 Palestinians at Deir Yassin in 1948, a blueprint for the future eradication of over 400 Palestinian villages, and the creation of over 700 000 Palestinian refugees in the land of their birth. Haganah members later populated the inner circle of the IDF. Blass’s developments are one of the many technological developments that are flown as Zionist “inventions”. In keeping with The Israel Project’s 2009 Global Language Dictionary - a 100+ page propaganda booklet coaching Israelis on how to speak to the world about Israel in order to garner public favour – Zionist “thought leaders” such as Saltzman are advised: “Americans want a team to cheer for. Let the public know good things about Israel.” The booklet encourages Zionists to emphasise, among other things, “Israel’s remarkable advances in alternative energy”. This, despite the fact that to developing nations like South Africa, these technologies are extremely costly – the drip irrigation system being a case in point. Nonetheless, the boasting has reached such fever pitch that the Kibbutz Hatzerim is now synonymous with Blass’s company Netafim, which exports drip irrigation systems through a network of dealerships in, among other countries, South Africa. Blass was also one of the founders of Israel’s Mekorot water company in 1937, a corporate that oversees water provision and services in Palestine. It is through Mekorot that Palestine and Gaza’s water is rationed, controlled and – if political expediency demands it – shut off. A 2013 UN Human Rights Council Report testifies in detail how Mekorot undermines Palestinians’ access to water. Mekorot took over responsibility for the West Bank’s water resources from the Israeli military in 1982, part of a clear plan to not only eliminate Palestinians militarily, but also through controlling services, technology and infrastructure. Social activists are now well aware that this Zionist plan for domination is being replicated throughout the world, under the guise of humanitarian development and sustainable technologies. It is happening, as we speak, in South Africa. This brings us back to Netafim. Netafim SA’s head office is based in Kraaifontein, and it has a number of dealerships scattered throughout the country. One of its “quality clients” is the Franschoek winery La Motte. La Motte is owned by Hanneli Rupert-Koegelenberg and her husband Hein Koegelenberg. Hanneli’s brother Johann Rupert, owns L’Omarins, and the Rupert siblings are in partnership with the Rothschilds, producing wines under the Rupert & Rothschild label. Another of Netafim’s success stories is Simunye, a sugar project in Swaziland that has been successfully operating for the past 15 years. The project belongs to the Royal Swazi Sugarcane Corporation (RSSC). Health stats aside, there’s never been a better reason to cut sugar. Salzman’s claims to Israeli fame are at worst fabricated, at best, exaggerated. But the fact that he claims the inventions of individuals from the US and Europe, as Israel’s own, is a portent of things to come: when the US and her allies – including even the Zionist Christians – have served their purpose, Zionist Israel will turn around and betray them. Resist. Boycott Zionist Israel. Boycott Dis-Chem.
