Politics – By the time the fighting ended in 1949, Israel had expanded its territory from 56% to 78% of Palestine, and the large majority of the Arabs, who made up two-thirds of Palestine's population before 1948, had become refugees barred from returning to their homes
Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews
... In my view and also that of all real experts I know including, for example, the two leading Israeli "revisionist" (honest) historians of our time, Professors Ilan Pappe and Aviv Shlaim, the key to understanding is knowledge of the difference between Judaism and Zionism. The mainly Gentile Judeo-Christian or Western world has been conditioned to believe that they are one and the same thing. They are not. They are total opposites.
Judaism is the religion of Jews (not "the Jews" because not all Jews are religious), and, like Christianity and Islam, it has at its core a set of ethical principles and moral values.
Zionism is a secular, colonialist ideology which, in 1948, and mainly by resorting to terrorism and ethnic cleansing, established a state for some Jews in the Arab heartland. (At the time of Zionism's birth and first mission statement in 1897, its colonial ambition was supported by only a very small minority of the Jews of the world; and it can be said that without the obscenity of the Nazi holocaust - a European crime for which, effectively, the Arabs of Palestine were punished - Israel would not have come into being). Simply stated, Zionism in action has made a mockery of, and actually has contempt for, the ethical principles and moral values of Judaism. Which is why those most often described as "ultra orthodox" religious Jews say that Zionism is destroying Judaism
For those who might wish to have a much deeper understanding of the difference between Zionism and Judaism, I recommend another recently published book â;; A Threat From Within, A Century of Jewish Opposition To Zionism. Its author is a Canadian Jew, Yakov Rabkin, who is Professor of History at the University of Montreal. When Yakov was in London, I asked him on-the-record a very explicit question: "Is it reasonable to say that the Jews of the world now have a choice to make - either to reaffirm or affirm their commitment to Judaism and renounce Zionism, or to reaffirm or affirm their commitment to Zionism and renounce Judaism?" He replied with one word, "Yes!"
Knowledge of the difference between Judaism and Zionism is the key to understanding why it is perfectly possible to be anti-Zionist (opposed to Zionism's colonial enterprise either in whole or in part) without being in any way, shape or form anti-Semitic. The significance of that statement is in the following.
The false charge of anti-Semitism is the blackmail card which the obscenity of the Nazi holocaust enables Zionism to play to silence criticism of its self-righteous and aggressive child, Israel, and to suppress informed and honest debate about who must do what and why for justice and peace. But when citizens know the difference between Zionism and Judaism (and the truth of history, of which more later) they do not have to be frightened into silence, as most Gentiles currently are, by the fear of being falsely charged with anti-Semitism for criticising the Zionist state of Israel.
There is, however, another reason why it is essential for the citizens of the Western nations, among whom most of the Jews of the world live, to be aware of the difference between Judaism and Zionism. Knowledge of the difference is the explanation of why it is wrong to blame all Jews for the crimes of the few (hardcore Zionists in Israel/Palestine).
...The first is that the sleeping giant of classical anti-Semitism has been re-awakened in the mainly Gentile nations of the Western world.. After the obscenity of the Nazi holocaust, and because of it, the giant most likely would have gone back to sleep, remained asleep and, in all probability, would have died in its sleep â;; IF Zionism had not been allowed by the major powers, first Britain, then America, to have its way, as Balfour put it, "right or wrong". (There is a case for saying that with British and American politicians as "friends", the Jews of the world have not needed enemies).
...It's also my view, which I know is shared in private by some eminent Jews, that if the monster of anti-Semitism goes on the rampage again, it might well start its journey in America.
Two summary reasons why:
* Many members of Congress (past and present) hate themselves for doing the bidding of the Zionist lobby. If the opportunity to let rip with their suppressed, guilt-driven anger arises, they will want revenge.
* The prime pushers for the invasion of Iraq were neo-cons who are also hardcore Zionists. While few want to admit this publicly, many know it to be so.
QUESTION: What can be done to eliminate the danger of the monster of anti-Semitism going on the rampage again?
Short answerâ;¦ The Gentiles of the Western nations must be informed and educated about the difference between Judaism and Zionism, and thus why it is wrong to blame all Jews for the crimes of the hardcore Zionist few. And that's one of the reasons why I devoted more than five years of my life to researching and writing Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews. I want to do my bit to stop the monster of anti-Semitism going on the rampage again. And that's the essential difference between the Gentile me and hardcore Zionists. They want, even need, anti-Semitism, to justify their crimes - past, present and future....

Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews
... In my book and on public platforms I also take head-on the matter of Israel's right or not to exist.
According to first and still existing draft of history, Israel was given its birth certificate and thus legitimacy by the UN Partition Resolution of 29 November 1947. This is nonsense.
In the first place the UN without the consent of the majority of the people of Palestine did not have the right to decide to partition Palestine or assign any part of its territory to a minority of alien immigrants in order for them to establish a state of their own.
Despite that, by the narrowest of margins, and only after a rigged vote, the UN General Assembly did pass a resolution to partition Palestine and create two states, one Arab, one Jewish, with Jerusalem not part of either. But the General Assembly resolution was only a proposal â;; meaning that it could have no effect, would not become policy, unless approved by the Security Council.
The truth is that the General Assembly's partition proposal never went to the Security Council for consideration. Why not? Because the US knew that, if approved, it could only be implemented by force; and President Truman was not prepared to use force to partition Palestine.
So the partition plan was vitiated, became invalid, and the question of what the hell to do about Palestine (after Britain had made a mess of it and walked away) was taken back to the General Assembly for more discussion. The option favoured and proposed by the US was temporary UN Trusteeship. It was while the General Assembly was debating what do that Israel unilaterally declared itself to be in existence â;; actually in defiance of the will of the organised international community, including the Truman administration.
The truth of the time was that the Zionist state, which came into being mainly as a consequence of Zionism terrorism and ethnic cleansing, had no right to exist and, more to the point, could have no right to exist unless â;¦.. Unless it was recognised and legitimized by those who were dispossessed of their land and their rights during the creation of the Zionist state. In international law only the Palestinians could give Israel the legitimacy it craved. And that legitimacy was the only thing the Zionists could not take from the Palestinians by force....
It took an entire page of childish temper tantrum for Hyperbola to say what another, rational person could say in one posting. That should tell you something about the intelligence factor of Hyperbola. Fortunately, most people just laugh at her, only she's not smart enough to realize it, even when people like yourself point it out to her ChefEOD. It must be true, Laughter is the best medicine. I feel better already.
Instead of making an a s s out of yourself try to refute her posts, that way we can see the level of your intelligence.
Do you really think acting like an arrogant lil pi s s is going to win you any respect here?
Every time somebody says something factual and meaningful about Jewish apartheid , the arrogant lil p i s s in you gets the best of you.
First , the term anti-semitic is absolutely meaningless and vague since not every Jew is a Semite and not every Semite is Jew.
While Judaism and evil nature of Zionism are not the same , it is the not right to simply blame this Nakbah on just a few hard core Zionists. These hard core Zionists have recruited the Jewish Taliban and Jewish extremists as their foot soldiers and the call to dispossess Palestinians and steal their lands at gun point might have been the Zionists' dream but the divine justification for that has come from the Holy Book of Jews, Torah, which has clear instructions for ethnic cleansing, these instructions are so clear that there is no two way of looking at them Book of Numbers, Chapter 33.
This has recruited lot of Jews into the ethnic cleansing and Zionist camps. After all, a genocidal mass murderer such as Sharon was voted into office by more than just a few hard core Zionists, not once but twice.Same is true about another genocidal Jewish terrorist Begin.
Other divine justification for these Jewish taliban and extremists to suppress Palestinians comes from a Jewish book of laws, a book of horror that Jewish taliban consider it the word of God.
This book of horror has clear instructions for oppressing and hurting none Jews and getting away with it. In fact if a none Jew woman is raped by a Jew, according to Talmud, the mother of all books of horror, the woman, even if she is just 3 years (the age of marriage for a girl set by Talmud) and one day old has to be stoned to death because it was she who made the Jew sin. My point is that there are many of these Jewish talibans who as foot soldiers of Zionists get their divine inspiration and justification for crimes they commit from Torah and Talmud and those Jews who desire to renounce and denounce Zionists need also to address the source of the divine inspiration for the foot soldiers of Zionists. They need to grab the bull by the horn.
As for the rise of bigotry against Jews I am afraid I agree with the author. If the giant is awakened which already has to some extent, it will be right here in US. As the author says many of the US representatives, under the corruptive influence of pro Israeli lobby have been doing Israel's bidding, while Israel has been committing massacre after massacre, crime after crime, these representatives have been robbed out of their conscious and freedom of speech by pro Israeli lobby in Washington, when the tides turn , they will be back like a bad habit, roaring, using their full freedom of speech and conscious to do Israel in.The signs are there already. As for general public, I would say the same about them. American public may be quiet about pro Israeli lobby's corruptive influence on their politics, but they know the game has more than one inning.

And ever since then, we have been sold a series of zionist myths aimed at "justifying" the zionist crimes against humanity.
Holding Zionism To Account
Open Letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
... The problem with the "historical record" - I mean the first and still existing draft of Judeo-Christian history - is that it's mostly nonsense. Propaganda nonsense. Zionist propaganda nonsense. At its core are two myths.
One is that the Zionist state of Israel has lived in constant danger of annihilation, the "driving into the sea" of its Jews. The truth of history is that Israel's existence has never, ever, been in danger. Not in 19448/49. Not in 1956. Not in 1967. And not even in 1973. Zionism's assertion to the contrary was the cover which allowed Israel to get away where it mattered most, America and Western Europe, with presenting its aggression as self-defence and itself as the victim when it was, and is, the oppressor.
... The other is that Israel has not had a Palestinian partner for peace. The truth of history on this account is that the ground for peace on the Palestinian side was prepared by Yasser Arafat as far back as 1979 â;; more than a quarter of a century ago. In that year, 1979, Arafat persuaded the Palestine National Council, the highest decision-making body on the Palestinian side, to back his policy of politics and (until then) unthinkable compromise with Israel....
..The problem was that Arafat did not have a partner for peace on the Israeli side - because Zionism was not, and is not, interested in peace on any terms the vast majority of Palestinians and other Arabs and most Muslims everywhere could accept.... Didn't Barak offer Arafat "95 percent" of everything he had said he wanted? No, he did not! That, too, is a propaganda lie...
.. And if you really want to come to grips with the truth of history in order to formulate a real policy for peace, I suggest you read my latest book, Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews. It's epic in length (two volumes) as well as sweep and substance because I've re-written the whole history of the making and sustaining of what used to be called the Arab-Israeli conflict, replacing Zionist mythology with the documented facts and truth of history. Though it's available from Amazon, it's not yet published in America because all American publishers are too terrified of totally offending Zionism to take it on. I should stress that it's the opposite of anti-Semitic. It's my Gentile call for the Jews to become the light unto nations by demonstrating that right can triumph over might, and that there is a place for morality in politics..
The key to understanding is knowledge of the difference between Judaism and Zionism - why they are total opposites: and thus why it is (a) perfectly possible to be passionately anti-Zionist (opposed to Zionism's colonial enterprise) without being in any way, shape or form anti-Semitic; and (b) why it is wrong to blame all Jews for the crimes of the hardcore Zionist few.
Now to the principle of real peace-making....
... It's my understanding that Defence Secretary Gates is quietly leading the campaign to stop the madness Cheney and his associates represent. Once upon a time you, Secretary Rice, had great influence on President Bush. You were subsequently sidelined to a very large extent by Cheney and Zionism's watchers in the White House and your own department. But what of today? I have the impression that your seven visits to Israel/Palestine have led you to the conclusion (of course you can't say so in public) that the Zionist state of Israel is the obstacle to peace.
If my impression is correct (and, of course, I could be wrong), it's my hope that you'll now use your influence to tip the balance of power in Washington DC in favour of those on the side of justice and peace and sanity.
