A.N.S.W.E.R. Public Forum: Behind the Crisis in Palestine
Stop Israeli Aggression! End the Occupation Now!

Friday, July 7, 7:30 pm
1800 Argyle Ave, #400, LA

The Palestinian population of Gaza, one of the poorest and most densely populated areas of the world, was already suffering severe shortages of food, medicine and other necessities due to Israel's blockade of Gaza and the cut-off of international aid to the West Bank and Gaza, in effect since January 2006. The new Israeli assault has resulted in the cut-off of power, water and food supplies to most of the people in Gaza. The situation constitutes a deliberately created humanitarian disaster, and now the U.S.-backed Israeli government is "intensifying" its brutal assault on the Palestinians.

Hear an anti-imperialist analysis of the situation in Palestine and discuss the role Israel plays in forwarding U.S. domination in the region. There will be speakers, political discussion and refreshments.

The Devil (George Warmonger Bush): "Sorry to Oil the Hellicopter Gunships, the F16's, the Tanks, and the Artillery being used in the Gaza Strip by Irgun Zvai Leumi / Likud Extremist of IsraOil but Oil comes First. Fill her Up ??????"

As we know, facts, logic,history, morality etc having no part to play in anti-zionist thought. Its all about their ideology and of course,"the ends justify the means" for them.

Israel has had a peace treaty with Egypt since 1979 and would not deign to breach that treaty by kidnapping some Egyptian Army trooper as a deliberate provocation......besides. Israeli companies do a lot of business with Egyptian companies now and Israel is not about to jeopardise that by such an infantile act as suggested by the previous poster

My comments questioning whether A.N.S.W.E.R. is on the right path have been censored.

I will ask again. Why hasn't A.N.S.W.E.R. been able to marshall large anti-war protests?

Public opinion polls show that the American public does not support the Iraq war, believes that Bush lied about the WMD's,
and yet A.N.S.W.E.R. only attracts a small number of people to its protests. Tiny numbers compared to 2003.

Why?

Could it be because their real purpose all along has been to push the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-Palestinian agenda so that supporters have left in droves?

NOTE TO LA.IMC MONITORS: Is it now the official policy of LA Indymedia to censor any comments critical of A.N.S.W.E.R. ????

(or did Nessie join the LA.IMC? and now has monitor status?)

"How can Palestinians send their kids to riot against Israeli soldiers? They are responsible for the high rate of casualties among their kids (Lie) "

Both sentences are the God honest truth. This is what Palestnian pre-adolescents are avidly trained and encouraged to do. This has been documented and proven painstakingly ad nauseum. Some of us who frequent Indymedia have read the extensive evidence accumulated over more than the last decade and already know these to be facts. You can only fool so many people most of the time.

Next time, just use the URL

I have in my hands a copy of the pamphlet "remember these children"- its a list of child casualties in the Middle east over the past few years. If you go through and count (yes, I did)- you'll find the overwhelming majority are older Palestinian boys, indicating, beyond a doubt, the use of children as combatents. When asked about this at one of her presenations, even Alison Weir agreed that boys were more likely to participate in "risk taking behavior".
Who is to blame? Certainly the culture that encouragse this behavior. Certainly the gunmen that hide behind children.

Doubt the culture encourages the use of child martyrs: Check this out:

http://www.pmw.org.il/asx/PMW_duraClip2006.asx

The clip features a child actor playing the most famous Palestinian child martyr, Muhammad al-Dura - whose death in a crossfire was broadcast to the entire world - calling to other Palestinian children to literally follow him to Child Martyrs’ Heaven.

The children watching this video are then shown what awaits them if they join Dura in death. The video follows the child actor - “Dura” - joyously frolicking in heaven. He romps on the beach, plays with a kite and runs toward a Ferris wheel. The children are being told that death in conflict with Israel will bring them into a child’s paradise. Muhammad al-Dura is already in this paradise, tranquil and fun-filled. This call to children to seek death, coming from the child who has turned into a Palestinian hero, and broadcast to their children by PA TV, is one of the most odious examples of exploitation of children by the Palestinian Authority. The words sung by the popular singer Aida are as insidious as the pictures. The earth is described as yearning for the children’s death - “its thirst quenched by the gush of blood flowing from the youthful body.”

The main lyrics of the clip are as follows:

“How sweet is the fragrance of the martyrs,
how sweet is the fragrance of the earth,
its thirst quenched by the gush of blood
flowing from the youthful body.”
Caption: “And so he went...”
Choir: “Goodbye to the boy Muhammad” (2x)
Aida (popular woman soloist):
“Goodbye, goodbye.”...
Aida: How sweet is the fragrance of the earth,
Its thirst quenched by the gush of blood
flowing from the youthful body.
Choir: Goodbye, goodbye.
Aida: Goodbye, goodbye...
Choir: O father, ‘til we meet
Aida (woman soloist):
‘til we meet, my father, ‘til we meet!
I shall go with no fear, no tears,
How sweet is the fragrance of the martyrs!
I shall go to my place in heaven,
How sweet is the fragrance of the martyrs!
Choir: How sweet is the fragrance of the martyrs!
Aida: O my father, ‘til we meet
Choir: O my father, ‘til we meet ...
Goodbye to the child, Muhammad
Aida: O the children of the world say
Choir: Goodbye to the child, Muhammad!
Aida: ‘til we meet, O Muhammad
Choir: ‘til we meet, O Muhammad

I guess ferris wheels and kites are more appealing to children than 72 virgins

"The anti-Zionist censorship doesn't portend good things for this site."

You would be within your rights, LA-IMC, to consider this a terrorist threat. Zionist lunatics have been committing murders and property crimes all over the world for decades over "offenses" no worse than what moron-boy here is objecting to. Above is a picture of what they did to a publishing house in greater LA exactly 22 years ago

A people living under occupation have the right according to international law to attack the military which is actively engaged in occupying them. An occupying power does not have the right to kill civilians, in fact it has the obligation to protect civilians.

Israel does have the right to use the force necessary (maybe a paramilitary force to go in and get their soldier, killing his captors if necessary), but they do not have the right to use collective punishment against a whole people. That is what the government of Israel did when it bombed bridges, civilian infrastructure and the main power plant in Gaza, taking out the electricity and running water for 1.4 million Palestinians and seriously disrupting hospital services. It does not have the right to arrest the Palestinian elected leaders, many of whom have called upon the soldiers captors to release him. Israel does not have the right to kill civilians, which the Israeli army routinely does. Israel does not have the right to close the border between Egypt and Gaza stopping the flow of foodstuffs, medical supplies and fuels through commercial crossings, which may (in combination with the other factors mentioned above) lead to a serious humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. These are violations of international law.

In January 2005, Hamas announced its resolution to replace armed struggle with political struggle and agreed to a unilateral ceasefire. In the 17 months since then, Hamas has not perpetrated terrorist attacks. Since the election, Hamas has not launched rockets from Gaza, most of which are launched by Fatah, until last month after the Israel army killed Jamal Abu Samhanada, who had recently been appointed head of the security forces of the Interior Ministry by the Hamas government. And after the Israeli army shelled Gaza, killing eight members of a Palestinian family on a beach and killed nine Palestinians when they shot a missile to destroy a rocket. Ambulance drivers and children were among those killed because the Israeli (American made) F-16 fired another missile into a group of civilians who came to the aid of the injured. There have been about 40 Palestinians killed in the last couple of days, civilians among those killed and seriously injured.

Who is refusing to negotiate? Hamas reportedly has recently accepted a two-state solution, thereby implicitly (if not openly) accepting the existence of Israel. But, Israel refuses to deal with the Hamas led govt. and has withheld millions in Palestinian tax dollars to their govt. Israel may have pulled settlers out of Gaza, but the Israeli govt. remains in control of the borders (imports/exports), airspace, sea and water sources. They are not even allowing taxes collected from Palestinians to reach the Palestinian people. Many govt. workers have gone months without pay.
In addition, those holding the Israeli soldier have offered to exchange him for the release of all female Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Israel has absolutely refused to negotiate with those holding the soldier.

I encourage people to listen to the interview for themselves, as Johnson did a poor job of patching together "quotes" of Haddad. One example, Johnson says that Haddad contradicted herself by saying, "Actually he would be considered a hostage because the other side is making demands--but not a kidnapping." In fact Haddad was not stating that herself, but was saying that a representative from Human Rights Watch (who had a somewhat different point of view than Haddad)had said that the soldier would be considered a hostage.

I did a google search for "Palestinian civilians killed" and I got 8,580,000 hits, as opposed to 12,000,000 when I did a google search for "Israeli civilans killed". So, the Israeli civilian deaths got more hits. But really so what? How many of these were mainstream, American news sources (that was what Haddad was talking about). A wide Google search is too broad to be used as a basis to try to challenge her statements about mainstream, American media. But, really, we do not have to look very far for the obvious slant in the American media. When Israeli civilians are killed, there is often front page, full color coverage and plenty of heart wrenching detail, (as there should be). But, when Palestinian civilians are killed, it almost never makes the front page, if there are photos at all they are rarely in color and the painful personal details are often lacking.

Be your own judge of the American media, be your own judge of the interview with Haddad and do your own Google searches. Don't take anyone else's word for any of this. And while you are at it, do your own research and read from a wide variety of sources. then you might get a complete picture.

"You would be within your rights, LA-IMC, to consider this a terrorist threat. Zionist lunatics have been committing murders and property crimes all over the world for decades over "offenses" no worse than what moron-boy here is objecting to. Above is a picture of what they did to a publishing house in greater LA exactly 22 years ago"

By that logic we should ban anything that is in favor of a Muslim state (say, pro-Palestine stuff) because of terrorist attacks. You know quite well that you're taking the actions of fringe extremists (who, by the way, most zionists consider an embarassment to the cause, and have been isolated from us) and attributing them to all who hold one basic common belief.

Tink: "Above is a picture of what they did to a publishing house in greater LA exactly 22 years ago"

Now, be sure to tell the good people exactly who the IHR are. You _do_ know, don't you? And be sure to explain why you're taking their antisemitic explanation at face value.

While we're at it, please post all the evidence you have that the naziboys of IHR didn't do it to themeselves for the insurance money. Please be specific.

@%<

How many times do I have to say this? WE ARE NOT JDL. It's like saying all Arabs are with al Quaeda, or all Americans are neo nazis. Saying that LA-IMC should censor us because we are clearly a terrorist threat is ridiculous.

"WE [zionist PR volunteers categorically?] ARE NOT JDL."
"Saying that LA-IMC should censor us because we are clearly a terrorist threat..."

What does this have to do with anything I actually said?

...that's pretty much the exact same thing you said here:

http://la.indymedia.org/news/2006/07/167190_comment.php#167856

and I gave you my response to this already. Revisionist zionism is right up there with the IRA in terms of being synonymous with violent extremism

Now you're just arguing in circles

"And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd'.".

CBS's Mideast 'Cycle of Violence'
Analysis omits Palestinian deaths

6/30/06

On June 28, CBS Evening News anchor Bob Schieffer turned to CBS reporter Bob Simon for analysis of the current Israel-Palestine crisis. What Simon offered, however, was a familiar scenario that puts the blame squarely on the Palestinian side.

As Simon put it:

We can't say how it's going to end, but there is a pattern to these Israeli-Palestinian crises which hardly ever varies. They begin with a Palestinian attack, in this case. The attack is designed to provoke a brutal Israeli response. The Israelis follow suit with that response. The response invariably radicalizes the population, makes them even more anti-Israeli, creates more suicide bombers. And the way it's going now, it looks once more like there is, at least in the Middle East, nothing new under the sun.


There's no reason why Simon's timeline of the crisis would 'begin' with the June 25 kidnapping of Israel soldier Gilad Shalit, or why that attack would be unequivocally attributed to a desire to "provoke a brutal Israeli response"—unless one wishes to erase the killings of Palestinian civilians over the past several weeks. Those deaths were mentioned by Hamas spokespeople in their statements justifying the raid, as was reported in many media outlets—including Simon's own CBS Evening News (6/25/06): "Gunmen from the armed wing of the ruling Hamas group took part in the raid, saying it was retaliation for recent Israeli air strikes that killed a top militant and 13 civilians."

If anything, what "hardly ever varies" is mainstream media's adherence to an attack-retaliation formula that overwhelmingly places the blame on the Palestinian side, though in the ongoing cycle of attacks both sides usually describe their actions as retaliatory. As FAIR noted in an April 4, 2002 Action Alert:
From the start of the Intifada in September 2000 through March 17, 2002, the three major networks' nightly news shows used some variation of the word "retaliation" ("retaliated," "will retaliate," etc.) 150 times to describe attacks in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. About 79 percent of those references were to Israeli "retaliation" against Palestinians. Only 9 percent referred to Palestinian "retaliation" against Israelis. (Approximately 12 percent were ambiguous or referred to both sides simultaneously.)


ACTION:
Contact CBS Evening News and tell them that Bob Simon's claim that a crisis in the Mideast only "begins" with attacks on Israelis does a disservice to CBS viewers—and sends the message that Palestinian lives are less important.

Israeli Massacres:
Details and Numbers


Although the Image that Israel distributes about herself is that of an oppressed nation, it is with heavy hearts that we present these crimes that stand for themselves for the brutality of the Israeli Army and the heartlessness of its soldiers who seem to have a thirst for blood. It is for the hope that the world may see a clearer picture that we present these painful facts. It is interesting to notice that today's media does not dwell on these crimes as they do on the Holocaust. They are reported in the news for a week or two and then swept into the sea of oblivion. Those who attempt to revive the true history of Israel are charged of being anti-Semitic. So with the hope to keep those memories in mind we present this shameful history of Israel that seems to have found that the role of Goliath is more interesting than that of David.

The following list of massacres is by no means exclusive, but they reflect the nature of the Zionist occupation of Palestine and Lebanon and show that massacres and expulsions were not aberrations that happen in any war, but organized atrocities with only one aim, that is to have a Zionist state which is 'goyim rein'.

The King David Massacre:

The King David Hotel explosion of July 22, 1946 (Palestine), which resulted in the deaths of 92 Britons, Arabs and Jews, and in the wounding of 58, was not just an act of “Jewish extremists,” but a premeditated massacre conducted by the Irgun in agreement with the highest Jewish political authorities in Palestine-- the Jewish Agency and its head David-Ben-Gurion.
According to Yitshaq Ben-Ami, a Palestinian Jew who spent 30 years in exile after the establishment of Israel investigating the crimes of the “ruthless clique heading the internal Zionist movement,”
The Irgun had conceived a plan for the King David attack early in 1946, but the green light was given only on July first. According to Dr. Sneh, the operation was personally approved by Ben-Gurion, from his self-exile in Europe. Sadeh, the operations officer of the Haganah, and Giddy Paglin, the head of the Irgun operation under Menachem Begin agreed that thirty-five minutes advance notice would give the British time enough to evacuate the wing, without enabling them to disarm the explosion.
The Jewish Agency’s motive was to destroy all evidence the British had gathered proving that the terrorist crime waves in Palestine were not merely the actions of “fringe” groups such as the Irgun and Stern Gang, but were committed in collusion with the Haganah and Palmach groups and under the direction of the highest political body of the Zionist establishment itself, namely the Jewish Agency.
That so many innocent civilian lives were lost in the King David massacre is a normal part of the pattern of the history of Zionist outrages: A criminal act is committed, allegedly by an isolated group, but actually under the direct authorization of the highest Zionist authorities, whether of the Jewish Agency
during the Palestine Mandate or of the Government of Israel thereafter.

The following is a statement made in the House of Commons by then British Prime Minister Clement Attlee:
On July 22, 1946, one of the most dastardly and cowardly crimes in recorded history took place. We refer to the blowing up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Ninety-two persons lost their lives in that stealthy attack, 45 were injured, among whom there were many high officials, junior officers and office personnel, both men and women. The King David Hotel was used as an office housing the Secretariat of the Palestine Government and British Army Headquarters. The attack was made on 22 July at about 12 o’clock noon when offices are usually in full swing. The attackers, disguised as milkmen, carried the explosives in milk containers, placed them in the basement of the Hotel and ran away.

The Chief Secretary for the Government of Palestine, Sir John Shaw, declared in a broadcast: “As head of the Secretariat, the majority of the dead and wounded were my own staff, many of whom I have known personally for eleven years. They are more than official colleagues. British, Arabs, Jews, Greeks, Armenians; senior officers, police, my orderly, my chauffeur, messengers, guards, men and
women-- young and old-- they were my friends.

“No man could wish to be served by a more industrious, loyal and honest group of ordinary decent people. Their only crime was their devoted, unselfish and impartial service to Palestine and its people. For this they have been rewarded by cold-blooded mass murder.”

Although members of the Irgun Z’vai Leumi took responsibility for this crime, yet they also made it public later that they obtained the consent and approval of the Haganah Command, and it follows, that of the Jewish Agency.

The King David Hotel massacre shocked the conscience of the civilizedworld. On July 23, Anthony Eden, leader of the British opposition Conservative
Party, posed a question in the House of Commons to Prime Minister Atlee of the Labor Party, asking “the Prime Minister whether he has any statement to make on the bomb outrage at the British Headquarters in Jerusalem.” The Prime Minister responded:
“…It appears that, after exploding a small bomb in the street, presumably as a diversionary measure-- this did virtually no damage-- a lorry drove up to the tradesmen’s entrance of the King David Hotel and the occupants, after holding up the staff at pistol point, entered the kitchen premises carrying a number of milk cans. At some stage of the proceedings, they shot and seriously wounded a British soldier who attempted to interfere with them. All available information so far is to the effect that they were Jews. Somewhere in the basement of the hotel they planted bombs which went off shortly afterwards. They appear to have made good their escape.
“Every effort is being made to identify and arrest the perpetrators of this outrage. The work of rescue in the debris, which was immediately organized, still continues. The next-of-kin of casualties are being notified by telegram as soon as accurate information is available. The House will wish to express their
profound sympathy with the relatives of the killed and with those injured in this dastardly outrage.”

The Massacre at Baldat al-Shaikh:

January 30-31, 1947(Palestine) : This massacre took place following an argument which broke out between Palestinian workers and Zionists in the Haifa Petroleum Refinery, leading to the deaths of a number of Palestinians and wounding and killing approximately sixty Zionists. A large number of the Palestinian Arab workers were living in Baldat al-Shaikh and Hawasa, located in the southeast of Haifa. Consequently, the Zionists planned to take revenge on behalf of fellow Zionists who had been killed in the refinery by attacking Baldat al-Shaikh and Hawasa.1
On the night of January 30-31, 1947, a mixed force composed of the First Battalion
of Palmakh and the Carmelie brigade (estimated at approximately 150 to 200
Zionist terrorists) launched a raid against the two towns under the leadership of
Hayim Afinu'am.]2 They focused their attack on the outskirts of Baldat al-Shaikh and
Hawasa. Taking the outlying homes by surprise as their inhabitants slept, they pelted
them with hand grenades, then went inside, firing their machine guns.3 The terrorist
attack led to the deaths of approximately sixty citizens inside their homes, most of
them women, elderly and children.4 The attack lasted for an hour, after which the
Zionists withdrew at 2:00 a.m., having attacked a large number of noncombatant
homes.5 According to a report written by the leader of the terrorist operation, "the
attacking units slipped into the town and began working on the houses. And due to
the fact that gunfire was directed inside the rooms, it was not possible to avoid
injuring women and children."6

YEHIDA MASSACRE:
13 December 1947(Palestine) : men of the Arab village of Yehiday (near Petah Tekva, the first Zionist settlement to be established) met at the local coffee house when they saw a British Army patrol enter the village, they were reassured espeically that Jewish terrorists had murdered 12 Palestinians the previous day. The four cars stopped in front of the cafe house and out stepped men dressed in khaki uniforms and steel helmets. However, it soon became apparent that they had not come to protect the villagers. With machine guns they sprayed bullets into the crowd gathered in the coffee house. Some of the invaders placed bombs next to Arab homes while other disguised terrorists tossed grenades at civilians. For a while it seemed as if the villagers would be annihilated but soon a real British patrol arrived to foil the well organized killing raid. The death toll of 7 Arab civilans could have been much higher. Earlier the same day 6 Arabs were killed and 23 wounded when home made bombs were tossed at a crowd of Arabs standing near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. In Jaffa another bomb killed six more Arabs and injured 40.

KHISAS MASSACRE:

The Semiramis Hotel Massacre:

5/7/1948(Palestine): The Jewish Agency escalated their terror campaign against Palestinian Arabs.
They decided to perpetrate a wholesale massacre by bombing the Semiramis Hotel in the Katamon section of Jerusalem, in order to drive out the Palestinians from Jerusalem. The massacre of the Semiramis Hotel on January 5, 1948, was the direct responsibility of Jewish Agency leader David Ben-Gurion and Haganah leaders Moshe Sneh and Yisrael Galili. If this massacre had taken place in World War II, they would have been sentenced to death for their criminal responsibility along with the terrorists who placed the explosives.
A description of the massacre of the Semiramis Hotel from the United Nations Documents follows, as well as the Palestinian Police report on the crime sent to the Colonial Office in London:
January 5, 1948. Haganah terrorists made a most barbarous attack at one o’clock in the early morning of Monday…at the Semiramis Hotel in the Katamon section of Jerusalem, killing innocent people and wounding many. The Jewish Agency terrorist forces blasted the entrance to the hotel by a small bomb and then placed bombs in the basement of the building. As a result of the explosion the whole building collapsed with its residents. As the terrorists withdrew, they started shooting at the houses in the neighborhood. Those killed were: Subhi El-Taher, Moslem; Mary Masoud, Christian; Georgette Khoury, Christian; Abbas Awadin, Moslem; Nazira Lorenzo, Christian; Mary Lorenzo, Christian; Mohammed
Saleh Ahmed, Moslem; Ashur Abed El Razik Juma, Moslem; Ismail Abed El Aziz, Moslem; Ambeer Lorenzo, Christian; Raof Lorenzo, Christian; Abu Suwan Christian family, seven members, husband, wife, and five children.
Besides those killed, 16 more were wounded, among them women and children. The following is a text of a cable by the High Commissioner for Palestine to the Colonial Office about the massacre:
Jerusalem. 0117 hours, Urban. At approximately 0117 hours, a grenade was thrown into the Semiramis Hotel, Katamon Quarter, causing superficial damage but no casualties. During the ensuing confusion, a charge was placed in the building and it exploded about one minute later, completely demolishing half the hotel. Witnesses have stated that the perpetrators arrived by way of the Upper Katamon Road in two taxis. Four persons are reported to have alighted from the first taxi, and one person, who apparently covered the main party, from the second. All were wearing European clothes…

The Massacre at Dair Yasin:

9/4/1948(Palestine): The forces of the Zionist gangs Tsel, Irgun and Hagana, fitted out with the Zionist terrorist strategy of killing civilians in order to achieve their aspirations, began stealing into the village on the night of April 9, 1948. Their purpose was to uproot the Palestinian people from their land by coming upon the inhabitants of the village
unawares, destroying their homes and burning them down on top of those inside, thereby making clear to the entire world to what depths of barbarism Zionist had sunk. The attack began as the children were asleep in their mothers' and fathers' arms. In the words of Menachim Begin as he described events, "the Arabs fought tenaciously in defense of their homes, their women and their children." The fighting proceeded from house to house, and whenever the Jews occupied a house, they
would blow it up, then direct a call to the inhabitants to flee or face death. Believing the threat, the people left in terror in hopes of saving their children and women. But what should the Stern and Irgun gangs do but rush to mow down whoever fell within range of their weapons. Then, in a picture of barbarism the likes of which humanity has rarely witnessed except on the part of the most depraved, the terrorists began throwing bombs inside the houses in order to bring them down on whoever was
inside. The orders they had received were for them to destroy every house. Behind the explosives there marched the Stern and Irgun terrorists, who killed whoever they found alive. The explosions continued in the same barbaric fashion until the afternoon of April 10, 1948.7 Then they gathered together the civilians who were still alive, stood them up beside the walls and in corners, then fired on them.8 About twenty-five men were brought out of the houses, loaded onto a truck and led on a
"victory tour" in the neighborhood of Judah Mahayina and Zakhroun Yousif. At the end of the tour, the men were brought to a stone quarry located between Tahawwu'at Shawul and Dair Yasin, where they were shot in cold blood. Then the Etsel and Layhi "fighters" brought the women and the children who had managed to survive up to a truck and took them to the Mendelbaum Gate.8 Finally, a Hagana unit came and dug a mass grave in which it buried 250 Arab corpses, most of them women, children
and the elderly.9

A woman who survived the massacre by the name of Halima Id describes what happened to her sister. She says, "I saw a soldier grabbing my sister, Saliha al-Halabi, who was nine months pregnant. He pointed a machine gun at her neck, then emptied its contents into her body. Then he turned into a butcher, and grabbed a knife and ripped open her stomach to take out the slaughtered child with his
iniquitous Nazi knife."10 In another location in the village, Hanna Khalil, a girl at the time, saw a man unsheathing a large knife and ripping open the body her neighbor Jamila Habash from head to toe. Then he murdered their neighbor Fathi in the same way at the entranceway to the house.11 A 40-year-old woman named Safiya describes how she was come upon by a man who suddenly opened up his trousers and pounced on her. "I began screaming and wailing. But the women around me were all meeting the same fate. After that they tore off our clothes so that they could fondle our breasts and our bodies with gestures too horrible to describe."12 Some of the soldiers cut off women's ears in order to get at a few small earrings.13 Once news of the massacre had gotten out, a delegation from the Red Cross tried to visit the village. However, they weren't allowed to visit the site until a day after the
time they had requested. Meanwhile the Zionists tried to cover up the evidence of their crime. They gathered up as much as they could of the victims' dismembered corpses, threw them in the village well, then closed it up. And they tried to change the landmarks in the area so that the Red Cross representative wouldn't be able to find his way there. However, he did find his way to the well, where he found 150 maimed corpses belonging to women, children and the elderly. And in addition to the bodies which were found in the well, scores of others had been buried in mass graves while
still others remained strewn over street corners and in the ruins of houses.14
Afterwards, the head of the terrorist Hagana gang which had taken part in burying the Palestinian civilians wrote saying that his group had not undertaken a military operation against armed men, the reason being that they wanted to plant fear in the Arabs' hearts. This was the reason they chose a peaceable, unarmed village, since in this way they could spread terror among the Arabs and force them to flee.15

NASER AL-DIN MASSACRE:
13-14 April 1948(Palestine) : a contingent of Lehi and Irgon entered this village (near Tiberias) entered the village on the night of 13 April dressed as Arab fighters.

(coming soon)

THE TANTURA MASSACRE:

May 15, 1948 (Palestine): "From testimonies and information I got from Jewish and Arab witnesses and from soldiers who were there, at least 200 people from the village of Tantura were killed by Israeli troops...

"From the numbers, this is definitely one of the biggest massacres," Teddy Katz an Israeli historian said Tantura, near Haifa in northern Palestine, had 1,500 residents at the time. It was later demolished to make way for a parking lot for a nearby beach and the Nahsholim kibbutz, or cooperative farm.

Fawzi Tanji, now 73 and a refugee at a camp in the West Bank, is from Tantura he said:
I was 21 years old then.They took a group of 10 men,lined them up against the cemetery wall and killed them.Then they brought another group, killed them, threw away the bodies and so on, Tanji said. I was waiting for my turn to die in cold blood as I saw the men drop in front of me.

Katz said other Palestinians were killed inside their homes and in other parts of the village. At one point, he said, soldiers shot at anything that moved.

THE DAHMASH MOSQUE MASSACRE:
11 July 1948 (Palestine): after the Israeli 89th Commando Battalion lead by Moshe Dayan occupied Lydda, the Israelis told Arabs through loudspeakers that if they went into a certain mosque they would be safe. In retaliation for a hand grenade attack after the surrender that killed several Israeli soldiers, 80-100 Palestinians were massacred in the mosque, their bodies lay decomposing for 10 days in the mid-summer heat. The mosque still stands abandoned today. This massacre spread fear and panic among the Arab population of Lydda and Ramle, who were then ordered to march out of these towns after they were stripped of all personal belonging by Israeli soldiers. Yetzak Rabin, Brigade Commander then says: - There was no way of avoiding the use of force and warning shots in order to make the inhabitants march ten to fifteen miles to the point where they met up with the legion-. Most of the 60,000 inhabitants of Lyda and Ramble came to refugee camps near Ramallah, around 350 lost their lives on the way through dehydration and son stroke. Many survived by drinking their own urine. The conditions in the refugee camps were to claim more lives.

DAWAYMA MASSACRE:
On October 29 Palestine): the Israeli army brutally massacred about 100 women and children, precipitating a massive flight of people from that village on the western side of the Hebron mountains. Mr. Walid Khalidi, author of All That Remains, says that the Palestinian inhabitants at Dawayma faced one of the larger Israel massacres, though today it is among the least well-known.

The following are excerpts of a description of the massacre published in the
Israeli daily ‘Al ha Mishmar, quoted in All That Remains:

The children they killed by breaking their heads with sticks. There was not a house
without dead…one commander ordered a sapper to put two old women in a certain
house…and to blow up the house with them. The sapper refused…the commander then ordered his men to put in the old women and the evil deed was done. One soldier boasted that he had raped a woman and then shot her…

A former mukhtar (head of a village) of Dawayma interviewed in 1984 by the Israeli daily Hadashot, also quoted by Mr. Khalidi, offered another description:

The people fled, and everyone they saw in the houses, they shot and killed. They
also killed people in the streets. They came and blew up my house, in the presence of eye-witnesses…the moment that the tanks came and opened fire, I left the village immediately. At about half-past ten, two tanks passed the Darawish Mosque. About 75 old people were there, who had come early for Friday prayers. They gathered in the mosque to pray. They were all killed.

About 35 families had been hiding in caves outside Dawayma, according to the
mukhtar, and when the Israeli forces discovered them they were told to come out, line up, and begin walking. “And as they started to walk, they were shot by machine guns from two sides…we sent people there that night, who collected the bodies, put them into a cistern, and buried them,” the mukhtar told the Israeli daily.

HOULA MASSACRE:

26/10/1948 (Lebanon) :Houla is located in southern Lebanon, only a few kilometers from the Israeli border. When Arab volunteers gathered to liberate Palestine from "Israeli" occupation, they established their headquarters in Houla, on hills overlooking Palestine. The force was successful in fending off major attacks on Lebanese villages, but the fighters suddenly withdrew on October 26, 1948." "Jewish militants attacked the town to avenge the residents' support of Arab resistance forces. On October 31, Jewish militants dressed in traditional Arab attire entered the border village. Residents gathered to cheer the men, thinking Arab volunteer fighters had returned. They were wrong. The militants rounded up 85 people and detained them in a number of houses, firing live ammunition at the civilians and killing all but three. That was not enough. Jewish militants blew up the houses with dead corpses inside. They confiscated property and livestock. The three who survived the massacre, of whom one is still alive, and other town residents fled to Beirut. Following the armistice agreement between Lebanon and "Israel" in 1949, village residents returned to find their houses in rubbles and their farms burnt. Houla remains under Israeli occupation today, and has suffered the brunt of "Israeli" animosity towards Lebanon. Only 1,200 out of 12,000 people remain in the village. The Houla massacre was one of a series of massacres committed by "Israel" against Lebanese civilians.

The Massacre at Qibya:

14-15/10/1953 (Palestine): On the night of October 14-15, 1953 , this village was the object of a brutal "Israeli" attack which was carried out by units from the regular army as part of a pre-meditated plan and in which a variety of weapon types were used. On the
evening of October 14, an Israeli military force estimated at about 600 soldiers
moved toward the village. Upon arrival, it surrounded it and cordoned it off from all of
the other Arab villages. The attack began with concentrated, indiscriminate artillery
fire on the homes in the village. This continued until the main force reached the
outskirts of the village. Meanwhile, other forces headed for nearby Arab towns such
as Shuqba, Badrus and Na'lin in order to distract them and prevent any aid from
reaching the people in Qibya. They also planted mines on various roads so as to
isolate the village completely. As units of the Israeli infantry were attacking the village
residents, units of military engineers were placing explosives around some of the
houses in the village and blowing them up with everyone in them under the protection
of the infantrymen, who fired on everyone who tried to flee. These acts of brutality
continued until 4:00 a.m., October 15, 1953, at which time the enemy forces
withdrew to the bases from which they had begun.16 There was a particular sight the
memory of which remained in the minds of all who saw it: an Arab woman sitting on a
pile of debris and casting a forlorn look into the sky. From beneath the rubble one
could see small legs and hands which were the remains of her six children, while the
bullet-maimed body of her husband lay in the road before her.17
This vicious terrorist attack resulted in the destruction of 56 houses, the village
mosque, the village school and the water tank which supplied it with water. Moreover,
67 citizens lost their lives, both men and women, with many others wounded.18
Terrorist Ariel Sharon, the commander of the "101" unit which undertook the terrorist
aggression, stated that his leaders' orders had been clear with regard to how the
residents of the village were to be dealt with. He says, "The orders were utterly clear:
Qibya was to be an example to everyone."19

KAFR QASEM MASSACRE:
On October 29, 1956 (Palestine): the day on which Israel launched its assault on Egypt , units of Israel Frontier guards started at 4:00 PM what they called a tour of the Triangle Villages. They told the Mukhtars (Aldermen) of those villages that the curfew from that day onwards was to start from 5:00 PM instead of the usual 6:00 PM, and that the inhabitants are requested to stay home. The Mukhtar (Alderman) protested that there were about 400 villagers working outside the village and there was not enough time to inform them of the new times. An officer assured him that they will be taken care of.

Meanwhile, the officers positioned themselves at the village entrance. At about 4.55 PM, unaware of the ambush awaiting them, the innocent farmers started flocking in after a hard day of work. The Israeli soldiers started stepping out of their military trucks and ordered the villagers to line up. Then the officer in charge screamed "REAP THEM," and the soldiers
riddled the bodies of the Palestinian villagers with bullets in cold blood. With the massacre practically over, the soldiers moved around finishing off whoever still had a pulse in him.

The government of Israel took great pains to hide the truth, but after the investigation was concluded, Ben Gurion, the Israeli Prime Minister, announced that some people in the Triangle had been injured by thefrontier guards. The press also was part of the conspiracy to cover up the incident. The Hebrew press wrote about a "mistake?" and a "misfortune" , when it mentioned the victims, and it was difficult to tell whom it meant.
More absurd than the trial of accomplices was their light sentences. The court found Major Meilinki and Lt. Daham guilty of killing 43 people and sentenced the former to 17 years and the latter to 15 years. What was remarkable about the Israeli official attitude was that various authorities competed to lighten the killer's sentences. Finally, the committee for the release of prisoners ordered the remission of a third of the prison sentence of all those who were convicted. In September 1960, Daham was appointed in the municipality of the city of Ramle as officer for the Arab Affairs.

Khan Yunis Massacre:

3/11/1956 (Palestine): Another massacre is committed on November 3, 1956 when the Israelis occupy the town of Khan Yunis and the adjacent refugee camp. The Israelis claim that there was
resistance, but the refugees state that all resistance had ceased when the Israelis arrived and that all of the victims were unarmed civilians.
Many homes in Khan Yunis are raided at random. Corpses lie everywhere and because of the curfew no one could go out to bury them. (An UNRWA investigation later found that the Israelis at Khan Yunis and therefugee camp had murdered 275 civilians that day ).

After the Israelis withdrew from Gaza under American pressure, a mass grave
was unearthed at Khan Yunis in March 1957. The grave contained the bodies
of forty Arabs who had been shot in the back of the head after their hands
had been tied. ("IMPERIAL ISRAEL", Michael Palumbo; London; Bloomsbury Publishing; 1990 pp. 30 - 32, citing UN General Assembly: Official Record, 11th session supplement, nop.)

The Massacre at the Sabra and Shatila Camps:

A number of events led to the decision of an extremist terrorist group of the Lebanese kata'ib forces and forces belonging to the Zionist Army to carry out massacres against the Palestinians. From the beginning of the Zionist invasion of Lebanon, the Zionists and their agents were working toward being able to extirpate the Palestinian presence in Lebanon. This may be seen from a number of massacres of which the world heard only little, carried out by Israeli forces and militias under their command in the Palestinian camps in south Lebanon (al-Rushaidiya, 'Ayn al-Hilu, al-Miya Miya, and others).32 This massacre was thus the outcome of a long mathematical calculation. It was carried out by groups of
Lebanese forces under the leadership of Ilyas Haqiba, head of the kata'ib intelligence apparatus and with the approval of the Zionist Minister of Defense, Ariel Sharon and the Commander of the Northern District, General Amir Dawri. High-level Israeli officers had been planning for some time to enable the Lebanese forces to go into the Palestinian camps once West Beirut had been surrounded.33
Two days before the massacre began - on the evening of September 14 - planning and coordination meetings were held between terrorist Sharon and his companion, Eitan. Plans were laid to have the kata'ib forces storm the camps, and at dawn, September 15, Israel stormed West Beirut and cordoned off the camps. A high-level meeting was held on Thursday morning, September 16, 1982 in which Israel was represented by General Amir Dawri, Supreme Commander of the Northern Forces.
The job of carrying out the operation was assigned to Eli Haqiba, a major security official in the Lebanese forces. The meeting was also attended by Fadi Afram, Commander of the Lebanese Forces.34
The process of storming the camps began before sunset on Thursday, September 16,35 and continued for approximately 36 hours.
The Israeli Army surrounded the camps, providing the murderers with all the support, aid and facilities necessary for them to carry out their appalling crime. They supplied them with bulldozers and with the necessary pictures and maps. In addition, they set off incandescent bombs in the air in order to turn night into day so that none of the Palestinians would be able to escape death's grip. And those who did flee - women, children and the elderly - were brought back inside the camps by Israeli soldiers to face their destiny.36 At noon on Friday, the second day of the terrorist massacre, and with the approval of the Israeli Army, the kata'ib forces began receiving more ammunition, while the forces which had been in the camps were replaced by other, "fresh" forces.37 On Saturday morning, September 18, 1982, the massacre had reached its peak, and thousands of Sabra and Shatila camp residents had been annihilated.
Information about the massacre began to leak out after a number of children and women fled to the Gaza Hospital in the Shatila camp, where they told doctors what was happening. News of the massacre also began to reach some foreign journalists on Friday morning, September 17.38
One of the journalists who went into the camps after the massacre reports what he saw, saying, "The corpses of the Palestinians had been thrown among the rubble that remained of the Shatila camp. It was impossible to know exactly how many victims there were, but there had to be more than 1,000 dead. Some of the men who had been executed had been lined up in front of a wall, and bulldozers had been
used in an attempt to bury the bodies and cover up the aftermath of the massacre.
But the hands and feet of the victims protruded from the debris."
Hasan Salama (57 years old), whose 80-year-old brother was killed in the massacre, says, "They came from the mountains in thirty huge trucks. At first they started killing people with knives so that they wouldn't make any noise. Then on Friday there were snipers in the Shatila camp killing anybody who crossed the street. On Friday afternoon, armed men began going into the houses and firing on men, women and children. Then they started blowing up the houses and turning them into piles of
rubble."40
Author Amnoun Kabliyouk [p. 10] writes in his book about the tragedy of a young Palestinian girl who, like the rest of the children in the camp, faced this horrific massacre. Thirteen years old, she was the only survivor out of her entire family (her father, her mother, her grandfather and all her brothers and sisters were killed). She related to a Lebanese officer, saying, "We stayed in the shelter until really late on Thursday night, but then I decided to leave with my girl friend because we couldn't breathe anymore. Then all of a sudden we saw people raising white flags and handkerchiefs and coming toward the kata'ib saying, 'We're for peace and harmony.'
And they killed them right then and there. The women were screaming, moaning and begging [for mercy]. As for me, I ran back to our house and got into the bathtub. I saw them leading our neighbors away and shooting them. I tried to stand up at the window to look outside, but one of the kata'ib fighters saw me and shot at me. So I went back to the bathtub and stayed there for five hours. When I came out, they grabbed me and threw me down with everybody else. One of them asked me if I was Palestinian, and I said yes. My nine-month-old nephew was beside me, and he was crying and screaming so much that one of the men got angry, so he shot him. I burst into tears and told him that this baby had been all the family I had left. That made him all the more angry, and he took the baby and tore him in two."41
The massacre continued until noon on Saturday, September 18, leaving between 3,000 and 3,500 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians dead, most of them women, children and elderly people.42

AL-AQSA MOSQUE MASSACRE:

October 8, 1990:

As an extension of the Zionist policy based upon exercising control over the city of Jerusalem and emptying it of its [Arab] residents by various and sundry means, such as Zionist terrorism and shedding the blood of the Palestinian people - a policy which Zionists have acted upon on numerous occasions - Zionist authorities undertook on Monday, October 8, 1990 to carry out this heinous massacre against Palestinian worshippers.
Several days before the events of the massacre began, the "Temple Trustees" group distributed a statement to the media on the occasion of a religious festival of theirs which they call "the Throne Festival". In the statement the organization announced that it intended to stage a march to the Temple Mount (or so they call it). The statement called upon Jews to participate in this march since, according to the statement, it would involve the decisive act of placing the foundation stone for what is
called "the Third Temple." In addition, the founder of the organization, Ghershoun Salmoun, announced that "the Arab-Islamic occupation of the temple area must come to an end, and the Jews must renew their profound ties to the sacred area." The march, in which 200,000 Jews took part, headed toward al-Aqsa Mosque in order for "the foundation stone" of the so-called "Third Temple" to be put in place.43 At the same time, that is, at 10:00 a.m. and a half-hour before the beginning of the
massacre, Israeli occupation forces began placing military barriers along various roads leading to Jerusalem in order to prevent Palestinians from getting to the city.

They also closed the doors of the mosque itself and forbid Jerusalem residents to go in. However, thousands had already gathered inside the mosque before this time in response to calls from the imam of the mosque and the Islamic movement to protect the mosque and to prevent the "Temple Trustees" from storming it and perhaps even imposing Jewish control over it.44 When the Muslim worshippers began resisting the Zionist group to prevent them from placing the "foundation stone" for their so-called temple, Zionist occupation forces began carrying out the massacre, using all the weapons at their disposal: poison gas bombs, automatic weapons, military helicopters, etc. The soldiers,

[Israeli] intelligence men and Jewish settlers resorted to firing live ammunition in the form of a continuous spray of machine-gun fire which came from all directions and in a well planned and coordinated fashion. The result was that thousands of Palestinian worshippers of various ages and nationalities found themselves in a mass death trap. Twenty-three Palestinians were killed, and 850 others were wounded to varying degrees.45 The Israeli soldiers began firing at 10:30 a.m. and stopped 35 minutes later. They opened fire on the Palestinian worshippers randomly and in cold blood.
Then they pursued them with clubs and rifles [outside the mosque].46 Nurse Fatima Abu Khadir, who was wounded by a bullet which fractured her wrist, states, "We went into the mosque precincts in an ambulance. I saw a large number of injured who had fallen on the ground. Then I saw lots of soldiers, hundreds of soldiers. They were about 30 meters from the ambulance and kneeling on one knee the way snipers do, and their weapons were aimed inside the ambulance. After that I couldn't see anything."47
News agencies described the blessed precincts of al-Aqsa Mosque saying that blood had covered "the entire two hundred meters between the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque. Blood was flowing everywhere, all over the wide steps, and had stained the white tile the length of the broad courtyard, as well as the doors of both mosques. The walls of the two mosques had long, crimson lines etched onto them by bleeding hands, and blood had stained the white uniforms of the woman
first-aid workers. Everyone - the wounded and the more fortunate, first-aid workers, journalists, and Israeli soldiers - all of them looked as though they were swimming in blood.48
Physician Muhammad Abu 'Ayila relates what happened to him and to a wounded man to whom he had been trying to administer first aid, and how the Zionists' glee at the sight of Palestinian blood spilled in the precincts of the holy mosque had blinded their eyes so much that they couldn't distinguish between a young child and an old man, between a man and a woman, between a wounded man and one seeking to treat him. He says, "I got out of the ambulance carrying a first-aid kit. I was wearing a
white uniform. The soldiers saw me and knew I was a doctor. But when I got to the wounded person nearest me and bent down to treat him, I got three bullets in my back in the region of the kidney. At that very moment, the wounded man near me died. But he could have been saved if I hadn't been hit."49 Most of the wounds, in fact, were in the head and in the heart.50
Then, in a farce designed to justify the crime which had been committed by Zionists' hands now stained with Palestinian blood, terrorist Yitzhaq Shamir, Prime Minister of the Zionist entity at that time, hastened to form a fact-finding committee which he called the "Zamir Committee" after its head, Tu'fi Zamir, former head of the Israeli Mossad. As for the outcome of the committee's investigation, it was announced by Moshe Almert, head of the Media Office of the occupation government, who said,
"The report confirms clearly that the responsibility and fault for escalating [the conflict] lies on the side of the thousands of Muslim extremists, who were attacking the holy place of the Jews."51

THE IBRAHIMI MOSQUE MASSACRE:
February 25, 1994 (Palestine):
While worshippers in the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Hebron were kneeling and
prostrating before God, turning their faces toward the sacred house of God in the
Friday dawn prayer on February 25, 1994, showers of treacherous Zionist bullets
began raining down on them from all directions, felling more than 350 peaceable
worshippers, some of whom were killed, and others wounded. And thus began the
second chapter of this terrorist massacre at the hands of terrorist settler Baroukh
Goldstein and his helpers. As for the first chapter, it had begun at the hour for the
final evening prayer on Thursday, at which time Jewish settlers and soldiers
prevented Muslim worshippers from entering the sacred masque to perform the
evening prayer under the pretext that this was the day of their "Boleme" feast.
Terrorist settlers gathered in the outer courtyards of the mosque and began setting
off fireworks in the direction of the worshippers. Some time after this, the occupation
forces allowed them to go inside the mosque itself in groups. At 10:00 p.m. the
Muslim worshippers were asked to leave the mosque, and Zionist occupation
soldiers began beating many of them as they left.
Hatim Qufaysha, a witness of the Zionist crime, says, "At 5:20 a.m. today everyone
was standing up [in the mosque]. As I took off my shoes, I saw an old man wearing
military clothes who was running along carrying a huge weapon loaded with
ammunition. I was surprised to see him come into the mosque during the prayer. He
opened fire, and I ran away and asked the soldier who guards the area to intervene.
But all he did was beat me up, then I left the mosque area.52
Eye witnesses who survived the massacre say, "We heard the sound of a muffled
explosion. It was followed by the whiz of bullets passing over the heads of the
worshippers." Talal Abu Sunayna, who was shot in both shoulders, adds, "I saw a
settler hiding behind one of the pillars in the mosque' as he fired on the worshippers
with his rifle. Another [Jewish] settler stood beside him loading a second rifle so that
it would be ready to go to work next."53 Muhammad Sari, one of the worshippers
present at the time of the massacre, states, "People are used to attending the dawn
prayer on Fridays in large numbers." He estimated the number of worshippers
present that morning at about 500. Then he added, "the muezzin announced the
beginning of the prayer, so we knelt and made the first prostration. Then all of a
sudden we heard the sound of heavy gun fire coming from behind us. When I turned
around in the direction of the sound, I saw a soldier in full uniform. He had put ear
pieces in his ears, and he was holding a rapid-firing machine gun and firing in the
direction of the worshippers."54 Sari was wounded in both legs when he tried to
stand up. A number of young men were able to get over to where the attacker was
and to protect others in the mosque with their bodies. And within moments Goldstein
had been brought to the ground by the young men.55 But due to the heavy gun fire,
the mosque had turned into something on the order of a slaughterhouse, filled with
pools of blood. Muhammad Sulayman Abu Salih, a custodian at the Abrahamic
mosque, describes the terrifying sight inside the mosque saying, "The terrorist was
trying to kill as many people as possible. The corpses were scattered all over,
spattering the floor of the mosque with blood. Worshippers who had been prostrate
tried to flee in terror, and some of them fell on the floor." Then he adds, "I shouted at
the top of my lungs to the soldiers to come and stop him, but all they did was run
away. The armed man reloaded his rifle at least once and killed at least seven
people at one time, the contents of their skulls scattering all over the floor. He kept on
shooting for ten minutes, and the army didn't step in until the massacre was over."
Sheikh Ibrahim Abdeen, the imam of the mosque, says that the bullets were coming
from several places, that it was a true blood bath. The Israeli soldiers' reaction was
very slow; they actually delayed the arrival of the ambulances.57 Nor did this terrorist
massacre stop with the killing of Goldstein. When the shooting stopped, the soldiers
came pouring into the mosque. According to witnesses of the massacre, the
soldiers, together with a number of Jewish settlers, opened fire on those who had
gathered around Goldstein, and not one of them survived. And thus occurred the
second massacre. Then outside the mosque, the soldiers opened fire on the
ambulance which had arrived at the mosque to treat the wounded; thus occurred the
third massacre, which itself did not stop there, since the soldiers pursued the
wounded and those seeking to treat them as far as the doors of the hospitals, where
they proceeded to kill even more. Other forces pursued their victims' funeral
processions as far as the cemetery gates, where they killed still more. Hence, this
heinous massacre carried out against worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque led to
more than 24 deaths and injured hundreds of others.

Around 6:30 a.m., IDF helicopters fired rockets at three buildings in the village, demolishing one totally and severely damaging the other two. Lebanese families were living in the buildings. The IDF Spokesperson claimed that the helicopters fired at the building in which the eleven were killed because Hizbullah was hiding there after firing the mortars. Investigations conducted by Amnesty and HRW did not confirm this contention The IDF's statement ignored the fact that the IDF fired at two other buildings during the same attack. Back to top


Qana Massacre :
18 April 1996, The "ethnic cleansing" operations carried out by the Zionist terrorist army have
encompassed not only Palestinian civilians, but Lebanese civilians in south Lebanon
as well.
In an attempt to break the power of the Lebanese Hizbollah organization, Zionist
forces undertook a military operation against south Lebanon. This operation was
likewise based upon the Zionist mentality, supportive as it is of blood-letting and
terrorism and based upon the belief that "exercising pressure against Lebanese
citizens . . . will lead in practical terms to comprehensive, overall pressure on account
of which the Hizbollah organization will be obliged to adhere to a ceasefire."59 Given
this reasoning, the Zionist forces bombed the shelter which was providing refuge to
approximately five hundred Lebanese, most of whom were children, elderly and
women who had been forced out of their homes by Israeli raids on their villages, and
who had been unable to get to Beirut. This bombing led to the deaths of 109
Lebanese civilians and seriously wounded 116 others. During the attack, Israeli
forces used between 5 and 6 advanced bombs designed to explode above their
target in order to cause the largest possible number of casualties. Moreover,
international investigations confirmed that the Israeli forces had deliberately targeted
the shelter.60
Ali, one of those wounded in the attack, says, "I fled in the morning with two friends
and went for refuge to the emergency forces in Qana. I had my wife and my four
children with me. They led us into a shelter where there were about fifty people. Then
suddenly the sound of bombing rang out. A first shell, then a second fell near the
shelter, and as we were trying to get out, another shell hit the shelter directly. I don't
know what happened to my wife and children."61 Fadi Jabir weeps as he talks about
things he saw after the Israeli bombs fell on those who had left their homes to come
to the base for the UN Fayjiya peace-keeping forces. He says, "I heard people
shouting 'Allahu akbar!', and a woman fell down unconscious. I reached out to get an
idea what had happened to her, and her brain fell into my hand."62 As for Sa'd Allah
Balhas, who was wounded by a piece of shrapnel in the Zionist massacre, he says,
"In one second I lost everything: my children, 14 of my grandchildren, and my wife. I
don't want to live anymore. Tell the doctors to let me die."63

These are just some of the massacres committed against the Palestinians and Lebanese by the Zionists. If the raids on southern Lebanon old and new were to be taken into account the true magnitude of Zionist crimes against humanity could start to emerge. If one were to go into the gruesome details of the atrocities committed in 1948 the -mopping up operations -, the deliberate humiliation and massacres of Arabs and the desecration of the holy places of both Muslim and Christian as well as the looting of these holy places and personal property by the Israeli army and settlers; one might just start to appreciate what Zionism is all about.

"Destroy all of the land; beat down their pillars and break their statues and waste all of their high places, cleansing the land and dwelling in it, for I have given it to you for a possession" Numbers 33:52,53

"And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city both men and women, young and old and ox and sheep and ass with the edge of the sword." Joshua 6:21

Thanks for reaffirming my point.

I am not a historian. I don't have any special insight or knowledge of the slew of "Israeli massacres" which GABE posted far above. The only ones I recognized were Deir Yassin,
Sabra Shatila, and Qana. The accounts of these three were so distorted and exagerrated (e.g. the people at Sabra & Shatila were not killed by Israeli forces, but by Lebanese Christians Phalanges. The death toll at Deir Yassin was super-inflated and neglected to mention the heavy loss of life on the Israeli side from the "peaceful" village.

But I DO have very good contacts with Israeli historians and experts.

Here is what David Meir-Levi wrote in response to my questions about GABE's list of massacres:

As you can see by the comments of the writer below the list, most of the 'massacres' were not massacres at all, but military actions in which civilians were killed in large part because the Arab forces implaced themselves in civilian sites. Most took place as part of the fighting between Israel and its 7 Arab enemy states that sent in troops in 1947-49.

Some, such as the Haifa refinery "massacre", were retaliations for Arab massacres; and these retaliations were aimed at the Arab perpetrators of the previous massacre of Jews.

Some, like the air attacks in Lebanon, were directed at PLO military emplacements. recall the Qana "Massacre", where the PLO places its forces alongside of and inside of the UN camp at Qana. The Israeli shelling of the PLO forces did indeed damage some UN property and caused some UN casualties and pesonnel injury. But this was because the UN commander, in sympathy with the PLO, allowed them to set up their camp alongside of the UN camp.

Such casualties are not massacres, they are collateral damage caused by the Arab terrorists use of civilian (or in this case UN) personnel to hinder Israeli action.
Many of the others are pure fiction, a la 'tantura'.

it is an interesting phenomenon in modern Israeli scholarship that the "neo-historians" aka the 'post zionist historians' have accepted recent Arab
pseudo-historiography uncritically and enthusiastically. Almost all of these attacks were never mentioned in Arab histories of the 1948 war, but somehow magically appeared in much later history writing.

Much neo-historian pseudo-historiography has been debunked effectively by Ephraim Karsh.

It is also a known phenomenon that the Arab PR uses a strategy of deceit and a tactic of serial lying. The accidental premature explosion of a terrorist bomb kills local Arabs who are living in the house where the bomb is being
made....and the PLO/PA PR system blames Israeli shelling.

Recall the recent Gaza beach shelling -- a Hamas piece of ordnance exploded, the Hamas folks come in quickly to clean up the evidence, and instantaneously thereafter a
photo-journalist shows up the film the scene of the surviving daughter keening over her family, with heart-rending accounts of how Israel did this....and only days thereafter is there enough evidence to show that it
was not Israel at all.

Recall as well the issue of 'Pallywood', where the PLO/PA make up stuff and stage it and then give it to the EU and USA and UK news outlets....who uncritically and enthusiastically accept it and show it as news.

Note too how often B'Tzelem accuses Israel of killing civilians when these 'civilians' are armed terrorists.....but because they do not wear the uniform of a national army, they are civilians for B'Tzelem.

So...i can't disprove every one of the so called massacres above....but Ican be pretty sure, per the issues above, that most of them are fake.

IGNORE THEM, BUT WAS CONVENIENTLY OUT TO LUNCH ELSEWHERE WHEN THE EXPLOSION
OCCURRED.

AND...THIS HAPPENED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PRE-STATE FIGHTING BY JEWISH FORCES AGAINST BOTH THE BRITISH AND THE ARABS. IT WAS CLEARLY A TERRORIST ATTACK, AND IT INCLUDED CIVILIANS BECAUSE THE WARNINGS WERE IGNORED. SO IT
CAN QUALIFY AS A MASSACRE.

50 OR SO ARAB FARMERS WERE OUT IN THEIR FIELDS. DID NOT HEAR THE CURFEW ANNOUNCEMENT. UPON THEIR RETURN TO THEIR HOMES FROM THE FIELDS, THEY ENCOUNTERED ISRAELI POLICE AND ARMY UNITS WHO FIRED ON THEM, KILLING 46.

The Unbearable Lightness of My Critics

by Efraim Karsh

In the late 1990s, I took issue with a group of Israeli academics and journalists who called themselves the "new historians," and who claimed to be offering a revisionist history of the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict in general and the 1948 war in particular.

To start with, I showed that there was nothing revisionist about their work. Far from unearthing new facts or offering fresh interpretations that would transform the general understanding of events, the new historians were effectively reiterating the standard Arab narrative of the conflict, in an attempt to give it academic respectability. Moreover, while this group insists on tracing its origins, indeed its raison d'être, to the opening of Israeli state archives in the late 1980s, an examination of their works easily reveals a highly eclectic and superficial use of these archives. Thus, for example, while claiming to have overturned the "myth of the few [Jews] against the many [Arabs]" during the 1948 war, Avi Shlaim, at Oxford University, had not even attempted to tap the archives of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and its pre-state precursor, the Hagana, both of which contain millions of declassified documents relating to the issue. Similarly, in his book on The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949, Benny Morris, at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba, presents the Hagana and the IDF as the main instigators of the Palestinian exodus, again without reference to archival material held by these two military organizations.

Apparently in response to my repeated criticisms, Morris recently conceded that "when writing The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949 in the mid-1980s, I had no access to the materials in the IDFA [Israel Defense Forces Archive] or Hagana archive and precious little to first-hand military materials deposited elsewhere." "None the less," he hastened to reassure his readers, "the new materials I have seen over the past few years tend to confirm and reinforce the major lines of description and analysis, and the conclusions, in The Birth."1 In other words, the foremost new historian admits both to having written the single most influential revisionist work without the use of the most important archives and to having a preconceived view of what his archival findings would be.

Any self-respecting academic discipline would not tolerate such an inversion of the research process. However, such is the politicization of modern Middle Eastern studies, especially in relation to the Arab-Israeli conflict, that partisan rewriting of history in line with contemporary political agendas has not only become the norm, its practitioners are even applauded as courageous revisionists, who present their discoveries at a considerable professional, if not personal, risk to themselves. "The historian who reveals undesirable truths, who challenges or explodes myths," complained Ze'ev Sternhell of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem "is perceived [in Israel] as a troublemaker, an enemy of the people."2 And Ilan Pappé of Haifa University has gone a step further by calling for "some kind of international protection" for Israel-based researchers of the nakba ("catastrophe," as Palestinians call the 1948 war).3

Nothing can be further from the truth. Not only have the new historians not faced the slightest risk to their careers - the humanities and social sciences faculties in most Israeli (and Western) universities are dominated by like-minded academics - but their writings have brought them instantaneous celebrity status that would have otherwise been unattainable. For what could possibly provide better "proof" of the validity of the Arab narrative than "inside" evidence by Israeli scholars on the basis of (allegedly) declassified Israeli documents? Indeed, Palestinian and Arab establishments have quickly embraced the new historians. Prominent Palestinian politicians, such as Hanan Ashrawi and Abu Mazin, refer regularly to their findings in support of Palestinian territorial and political claims from Israel. The partisan Journal of Palestine Studies (JPS) has not only thrown its doors open to this group but has turned them into its favorite contributors. Since the late 1980s, it has featured at least seven articles by both Shlaim and Morris, in addition to a string of review essays - far more than any Palestinian or Arab scholar, with the sole exception of Edward Said.

The JPS has also used the new historians as its foremost demolition team, particularly against works by Israeli historians deemed most damaging to the Palestinian narrative. In 1994, for example, Morris wrote a lengthy and venomous review of The Road Not Taken, an account of early Arab-Israeli peace talks by Itamar Rabinovich of Tel Aviv University. Yet this review pales in comparison to his fifteen-page assault on the first edition of my book, Fabricating Israeli History: The "New Historians" - the longest review essay ever published by the Journal of Palestine Studies.4

Last but not least, the JPS has turned the new historians into regular commentators on contemporary Israeli-Palestinian affairs, where their adherence to the truth has been no stricter than in their historical studies. Thus, for example, having traced the origins of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination to a mixture of "national-religious tradition of ideological and actual lawlessness" and "the older tradition of ‘Revisionist' terrorism," Morris argues that "during the late 1960s and the 1970s, Gush Emunim continuously broke the law in its campaign to set up Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The Labor-led governments of the day, under prime ministers Levi Eshkol, Golda Meir, and Yitzhak Rabin, continually bent to their will."5 But Gush Emunim was established in March 1974, in the twilight of the Yom Kippur war, and as such could not have "continuously broke[n] the law" during the late 1960s. Nor could prime ministers Meir and Eshkol have "continually bent to their will," if only because the former had resigned her post before the start of the Gush's activities while the latter had died five years before the establishment of Gush Emunim. But why be bothered by facts?

The new historians' partisanship has also served as an entry ticket to the influential Arabist club (comprising scholars of the Middle East and veterans of institutions dealing with the region, such as foreign ministries, oil companies, economic and financial organizations, etc.) and its attendant access to academic journals, respected publishing houses, and the mass media. Shlaim, for instance, was the primary academic consultant to a six-part British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) television series about the Arab-Israeli conflict produced on the occasion of Israel's fiftieth anniversary, which cast the Jewish state in the role of the regional villain. Morris was the moving spirit behind a televised documentary on the Palestinians by an Israeli expatriate. "We perform at weddings and bar mitzvas," a leading new historian, Tom Segev, joked about this group's popularity.6 Indeed, admiring reports on the new historians feature regularly in the Western press.

This state of affairs is not difficult to understand. Half a century after Israel's creation and its victory over the concerted Arab attempt to strangle it at birth, these heroic events seem to have been all but forgotten. Not only is there widespread ignorance in the West regarding the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the reasons for its persistence, but Middle Eastern studies have increasingly fallen under the sway of the Arabists and/or scholars of Arab descent, as a glance at the membership rolls of the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA) and its European counterparts will easily reveal. Moreover, for quite some time the Arab oil-producing countries have been penetrating the foremost Western universities and academic publishing houses by subsidizing publications and extending generous grants for the establishment of endowed chairs and research centers, over which they exercise a lasting control. Finally, since democracy is an extremely rare commodity in the Middle East, and since students of the region's contemporary affairs are anxious to maintain free access to its countries, they exercise a strict self-censorship, avoiding anything that smacks of criticism of local societies and regimes, however brutal and repressive they might be.

Consider, for example, a doctoral student who wanted to research contemporary Syrian state-sponsored terrorism. It did not take him long to realize that the topic would make him persona non grata in Syria (and Lebanon) and would isolate him among fellow Arabists, and he changed his research focus and its time frame. Or consider an international conference on Iraq, held at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (or Chatham House as it is commonly known after the building in which it resides), shortly before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. All participants, British, Europeans, and Americans, went out of their way to heap praise on Saddam Husayn's regime and to rub shoulders with the senior Iraqi officials in attendance (notably Nizar Hamdun, then Iraq's deputy foreign minister). A respected American Arabist even applauded as decent hamlets the desert concentration camps in which the Iraqi authorities had herded tens of thousands of Kurds exiled from their homes during and after the Iran-Iraq war. When the handful of Iraqi expatriates, who had somehow managed to obtain invitations to the conference, tried to voice criticism of the repressive nature of the Iraqi regime, they were peremptorily silenced by the moderators, with some of them being unceremoniously ushered out of the discussion hall.

This trend has not been confined to academia. In today's global village, where events in one part of the world are instantaneously transmitted around the globe, reaching the public and policymakers at the same moment, Arabists have gradually become key shapers of public opinion in their field of specialty. It is they who interpret the Middle East to the general public whenever there is a fresh conflagration in this volatile area; and it is they who regularly give the benefit of their opinion to government and Congress. The Arabist presence has been particularly conspicuous on television, where the proliferation of around-the-clock news channels has generated a cozy symbiosis between broadcasters and pundits: the former constantly hunger for commentary while the latter are eager to ply their merchandise, come what may. A good case in point is the recent whitewashing by Western broadcasters and pundits of the extent of Palestinian rejoicing over the World Trade Center atrocity, and their acquiescence in the Palestinian Authority's violent suppression of the freedom of information by preventing the distribution of photos and videos of these celebrations.

In this disturbing atmosphere, where propaganda is often substituted for scholarship, Israel has increasingly been cast in the role of the regional villain and implicated in every Middle Eastern crisis over several decades, regardless of any actual connection. And whoever dares to challenge this comfortable consensus is subjected to massive retaliation, or rather a defamation campaign, aimed at shooting the messenger before he or she has been given the opportunity to speak.
Defame Game

Such has been the reaction of the new historians and their sympathizers to my book Fabricating Israeli History: The "New Historians": a sustained campaign of personal smear and innuendo aimed at discrediting my professional credentials. Boasting he had never read the book, Morris dismissed it as "idiotic slander indicative of the man himself, who is probably seeking to promote his own personal interests" (what particular interests could be promoted by going against the grain Morris did not say),7 while Pappé derided me as a "court historian." "Perhaps in the patriotic Israeli colony in London there still exist the fighting spirit and the readiness to fight for Zionism to the last drop of ink," he wrote,8 as if there is something fundamentally wrong when expatriate Israelis rebut historical fabrications (though, of course, not when they fabricate in the first place).

Omer Bartov, an Israeli history professor at Brown University, expressed similar sentiments. In a review of Fabricating in London's Times Literary Supplement, Bartov made no attempt to rebut any of my factual assertions, which in itself is hardly surprising given that his field of research is modern German history. Instead, he made a number of wholly irrelevant comments regarding my (alleged) personal background, aimed at discrediting my academic integrity. In an attempt to portray me as part of the Israeli defense establishment - the current version of the much-maligned orientalist - Bartov claimed that I began my "specialization in Middle Eastern affairs as an officer in Israeli army intelligence." In fact, I acquired my first academic degree in modern Middle Eastern history prior to joining the army, and during my military service, dealt with superpower involvement in the Middle East rather than with Arab affairs. But then, what is the relevance of my educational background to the validity of my assertions? What counts is their factual basis. Similarly, Bartov finds a fundamental incongruity between my criticism of the revisionist writings and my longstanding support for Palestinian self-determination,9 as if one's contemporary political views should necessarily influence one's historical propriety.

Indeed, a vivid illustration of the political agenda underlying the new historiography has been afforded by Benny Morris's apparent about-face following the outbreak of Palestinian violence in the autumn of 2000. So long as the Oslo peace process appeared to be edging towards a two-state solution - Israel and a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza - Morris had no compunction about charging Israel with the original sin of dispossessing the Palestinians and perpetuating the conflict with the Arab world. Yet, when in the summer of 2000 the Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat, rebuffed Prime Minister Ehud Barak's generous territorial concessions and, rejecting Israel's very right to exist, unleashed a tidal wave of violence, Morris changed tack. Departing from the line he and his fellow new historians had been toeing for more than a decade, he blamed the persistence of the Arab-Israeli conflict on the Palestinians' intransigence and their rejection of all compromise solutions since the 1930s.10

But then, would a true historian discard his own archival research on a specific historical period, without the discovery of new documentary evidence, merely on account of political developments taking place some half-a-century after the original events? Hardly. For all of Yasir Arafat's shortcomings, including his failure to accept Morris's definition of a "fair" solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, this does not change one iota in the historical record of the 1948 war and its aftermath.

Even when criticism of Fabricating has ostensibly moved from the personal to the professional sphere, it has never genuinely attempted to grapple with the book's central thesis, let alone refute its factual assertions. Instead, the critics have misrepresented its substance altogether. Consider, for example, the assertion by Joel Beinin of Stanford University (now president of MESA), that "by returning the debate to the arena of intellectual history, Karsh … avoids engaging [Benny] Morris's archival discoveries."11 In fact, my book has nothing to do with intellectual history, its exclusive concern being to engage the new historians' archival discoveries. Indeed, after both The Economist and The Times Literary Supplement cited a number of Morris's factual falsifications exposed by my book,12 he begrudgingly conceded the validity of my claims, while simultaneously seeking to disguise their real nature. "Karsh has a point," Morris wrote to The Times Literary Supplement. "My treatment of transfer thinking before 1948 was, indeed, superficial." He also acknowledged my refutation of his misinterpretation of an important speech made by David Ben-Gurion on December 3, 1947: "[Karsh] is probably right in rejecting the ‘transfer interpretation' I suggested in The Birth to a sentence in that speech."13 He also admitted elsewhere that "Karsh appears to be correct in charging that I ‘stretched' the evidence to make my point."14 But then, the issue is not the misinterpretation of a specific sentence in Ben-Gurion's speech, or even the stretching of evidence. It is the deliberate and complex attempt to misrepresent the contents of the speech so as to portray a false picture of the moral and political worldview of Israel's founding father.

Shlaim resorts to cruder means to discredit my rebuttal of his conspiracy theory of an Anglo-Transjordanian-Zionist collusion to disinherit the Palestinians. Rather than engage my archival discoveries, he dismissed my criticism as based on a single "unimportant and insignificant document," written by "a middle-level career civil servant" and deemed "not suitable for circulation outside the Foreign Office."15 This is an incredible charge indeed, given that two full chapters in Fabricating, containing hundreds of documents from official British archives, are dedicated to the rebuttal of the conspiracy charge.

But the story does not end here, for Shlaim chose to misrepresent the nature of the above document and its significance. First, this was not an obscure document by a middle-level career civil servant but rather a summary of a crucial consultation, held by Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin with his key advisers immediately after his meeting with the Transjordanian prime minister, Tawfiq Abu'l-Huda. The consultation addressed the critical issue of Transjordan's possible incursion into Palestine after the termination of the British mandate, raised by Abu'l-Huda during the meeting, and its implications. Secondly, contrary to Shlaim's claim, the memorandum was circulated well beyond the bounds of the Foreign Office, as clearly evidenced by the comment on the foot of the page: "This was briefly discussed with the S. of S. [i.e. Bevin] who did not object to the substance of the above minute being confidentially discussed with the State Depat [sic]. I attach a draft tel."16

In short, Shlaim has totally misrepresented the above memorandum, turning black into white. Again, this is not a matter of academic sophistry but rather a deliberate distortion of archival evidence so as to defend an important but false aspect of his thesis. I challenged Shlaim to publish the sources of his (mis)representation of the document.17 He never did.

The only sympathizer of the new historians willing to acknowledge the nature of my criticism and its far-reaching implications has been William Quandt of the University of Virginia. "Karsh is not talking about differences of interpretation, of nuanced readings of texts," he wrote in a review of Fabricating, "he is making a different and more damaging accusation - namely, that these academics are deliberately misleading readers. That is, they know what the record says and choose to distort it." "Along with plagiarism," he continued, "fabrication is the worst accusation one academic can make against another."

Do I succeed in making my case? Here, Quandt is reluctant to break rank: "I do not come away convinced, although in some cases he does raise points that seem to warrant examination of the originals."18 But then, why not press this point to its logical conclusion and conduct an examination of the originals prior to writing the review, so as to inform the readers of your findings? Don't they deserve an analysis that gets to the bottom of things, rather than an open-ended question?

That Quandt alone, among establishment Middle East scholars, has been prepared to admit what Fabricating is all about is a sad testament to the prejudice and dogmatism plaguing this field of studies over the past few decades. There is no real freedom of expression, no revisionism in the true sense of the word: only founding myths and preconceived dogmas to which scholars must conform, such as the presentation of Israel as "the bad guy," to use Edward Said's words, and the Arabs as hapless victims of Zionist and Israeli aggression.19 "Revisionism," in this Orwellian environment, means simply the rewriting of history in line with these dogmas. If this requires the substitution of fiction for fact, so be it.

Needless to say, it has been taken for granted that the Arab narrative of the conflict needs no revisionist history. "It is important to stress that for all their flaws, the versions of history produced by the traditional Arab historiography are fundamentally different from the Israeli myths of origin," Rashid Khalidi of the University of Chicago has recently argued.
This is true notably because it is not a myth that a determined enemy bent on taking control of their homeland subjected the Palestinians to overwhelming force. It is not a myth, moreover, that as a result of this process the Palestinian people were victims, regardless of what they might have done differently in this situation of formidable difficulty, and of the sins of omission or commission of their leaders. In this case, as in so much else in the conflict, there can be no facile equivalence between the two sides, however much some may long for the appearance of Palestinian "new historians" to shatter the "myths" on the Arab side.20
This blind nationalist belief in one's absolute justice may have some merit at the level of political polemics. As a historical statement it has none at all. During the past decade, Israeli and Western archives have declassified millions of records, including invaluable contemporary Arab and Palestinian documents, relating to the 1948 war and the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. These make it possible to establish that, contrary to Khalidi's assertion, the Palestinian tragedy was by no means a foregone conclusion. It could have been averted altogether had the Palestinians and the Arab states accepted the United Nations Partition Resolution of November 29, 1947, and opted for peaceful coexistence with their Jewish neighbors rather than attempt to ethnically cleanse this community.

This mass of documentation also proves beyond any reasonable doubt that, far from being an act of expulsion, the mass Arab flight was a direct result of the fragmentation and lack of cohesiveness of Palestinian society, which led to its collapse under the weight of the war it had initiated and whose enormity it had failed to predict. But then, why tap this indispensable mine of information if the historical narrative has already been decided?

Heads in the Sand

Another founding myth of modern Middle Eastern history views Western imperialism as the foremost source of regional instability. According to this conventional wisdom, the European powers - Britain, France, Russia, and Italy - having long coveted the declining Ottoman Empire, exploited its entry into World War I in order to carve it into artificial entities, in accordance with their imperial interests and in total disregard of the yearning of the indigenous peoples for political unity. In order to do so, they duped the naive and well-intentioned Arab nationalist movement into a revolt against its Ottoman suzerain, only to cheat it of the fruits of its efforts. The European powers broke the historical unity of this predominantly Arab area, thus sowing the seeds of the endemic malaise plaguing the Middle East to this day.

As with the Arab-Israeli conflict there has been no real revisionism of this dogma. The only historian to have attempted to do so was the eminent British historian, Elie Kedourie (1926-92), and he paid dearly for his moral and scholarly integrity. His refusal to revise his dissertation so as to bring it into line with the misconceptions of his examiner, H.A.R. Gibb (later Sir Hamilton Gibb), the Laudian Professor of Arabic at Oxford University and the leading Orientalist of the day, cost Kedourie his ultimate objective: his doctorate. When Kedourie later led the assault on the blame-the-West thesis,21 the dogmatic denizens of Middle Eastern studies shunned him.

A similar treatment was meted out to me and my wife upon the publication of our co-authored Empires of the Sand: The Struggle for Mastery in the Middle East, 1789-1923 (Harvard University Press, 1999) - a comprehensive reinterpretation of the origins of the modern Middle East. Denying primacy to Western imperialism and attributing equal responsibility to regional powers, it refuted the orthodox belief in a longstanding European design on the Middle East culminating in the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, as well as the notion that the European powers broke the Middle East's political unity by carving artificial states out of the defunct entity. No less important, Empires of the Sand laid to rest the popular myth of "Perfidious Albion," proving that it was Britain's Arab war allies who duped the largest empire on earth into backing the "Great Arab Revolt," rather than the other way round.

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the book has incurred the ire of the Arabist establishment. Scathing indictments have been made, on the basis of hearsay, without writers taking the trouble to read the book. A leading academic has even urged fellow academics to place negative reviews on the website of a major Internet bookstore, so as to warn potential readers of our book.

Following a lengthy pre-publication review of Empires in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Kenneth Cuno of the University of Illinois quickly alerted fellow members of MESCHA (Middle East Social and Cultural History Association), an informal network of scholars and graduate students, of the new threat to their cherished dogmas and conceptual frameworks.22 "I have just submitted a comment to a ‘colloquy' site created by The Chronicle of Higher Education with regard to a pre-reviewed book by Efraim and Inari Karsh entitled Empires of the Sand (Harvard, due out in December)," he wrote without the benefit of reading a single sentence of our book. "Never mind the Karshes' book. What I am more concerned about is The Chronicle author's evident conviction that what is new and cutting-edge in our field is old-fashioned political history cum polemic. Consider the damage that will do. Maybe if they hear from enough of us that something else is going on, they might take notice. Maybe even in the form of another article entitled something like ‘Middle East Historians Protest out of Date Image of their Field.'"

Cuno's letter elicited a string of enthusiastic responses from his colleagues. Though none of them had read the book, and some had not even read The Chronicle review, these staunch Arabists unquestioningly rallied to the call to discredit a scholarly work, the actual substance of which they were totally ignorant. "I think Ken's idea is good, and the most efficient way to do it is to have him or someone write a letter, and e-mail it to us for signatures," wrote Nikki Keddie of the University of California, Los Angeles. "The letter should be consensual enough in its views so most of us will sign." After reading The Chronicle review, her alarm seemed to have intensified, and she suggested a more comprehensive struggle against the book: "I no longer think a group letter important," she decided. It was better to have people "who both know the documents and can make general points give specific answers; and best of all, doing so after reading the book. But others of course can contribute answers that are useful."

Joel Beinin concurred. "I agree with the general thrust of Ken Cuno's comments and warning about the Karshes' new book," he wrote. "I was not planning on writing anything about this book before having a chance to read it (is that too old-fashioned now?) but I have reviewed a previous opus of Ephraim Karsh on the Israeli new historians which may give those interested an idea of what kind of person/scholar he is."

Beinin's reluctance to review a book without reading it first is to be commended; far less so his readiness to warn readers away from a scholarly work he has never read, or to dismiss it out of hand merely on the basis of an author's perceived personality. But this is precisely how this group has sought to confront the presumed threat of our book: not a scholarly debate on facts and theses but a character assassination couched in high pseudo-academic rhetoric. "This is not the first time that Efraim Karsh has written a highly self-important rebuttal of revisionist history," wrote Yezid Sayigh of Cambridge University. "He is simply not what he makes himself out to be, a trained historian (nor political/social scientist)."

Leave aside the fact that both my training (undergraduate degree in modern Middle Eastern history and Arabic language and literature, and a doctorate in political science and international relations) and my research output refute Sayigh's assertion. His misleading misrepresentation of my scholarly background is wholly irrelevant. Fabricating Israeli History has nothing to do with Empires of the Sand, which is a wholly different work in terms of scope, time frame, and historical methodology. But Sayigh is not a person to be bothered by such niceties. Having told his colleagues how "Morris and Shlaim et al … ‘swept the floor' with Karsh on methodological and documentary grounds" (although, so far it is Morris, rather than myself, who has admitted mistakes and backtracked on his earlier claims), Sayigh urges the writing of "robust responses [that] make sure that any self-respecting scholar will be too embarrassed to even try to incorporate the Karsh books in his/her teaching or research because they can't pretend they didn't know how flimsy their foundations are."

Mary Ann Fay from the American University of Sharjah seems to share his view. "Why this book?" she protested. "It is appalling to think that the wider academic community believes that all we do is ‘old' history, but what is even worse is the notion that our work still has to be judged for legitimacy (or illegitimacy) on where we stand in relation to Palestine."

Had Fay taken the trouble to read the book, she would have easily discovered that it has nothing to do with the Palestine question. Only one of its twenty-one chapters (twelve pages out of 400) deals with the origins of the Balfour Declaration, and even this, from a predominantly great-power perspective. There is a discussion of Palestine in a couple of other chapters, but then again, not from the perspective of an Arab-Jewish conflict but rather as an illustration of the perennial tension between imperialism and nationalism. Empires of the Sand simply ends before this conflict began to transcend its embryonic phase, and its scope is far wider than this localized feud.

Since we have seen the nature of Shlaim's and Morris's responses to Fabricating, it takes no great imagination to guess the essence of the "robust responses" envisaged by Sayigh. Indeed, when such robust responses were published, they made no greater an effort than Sayigh to grapple with Empires' thesis or to rebut its factual assertions. Consider, for example, the criticism by Richard Bulliet of Columbia University of our claim that "the price of Ottoman imperialism was often paid for by its national minorities." Referring to our description of a large-scale massacre of Armenians in Baku in September 1918, Bulliet argues that since Baku lies "some 500 miles beyond the Ottoman frontier[,] to the degree Armenians in Baku were a national minority, surely they were a national minority in the Russian, rather than in the Ottoman, empire. But to have said so would not so well have served the Karshes' interest."23

This is wrong not just by a mile, but by 500 miles. The Armenians of Baku were not massacred by the Russians, as implied by Bulliet, but rather by Ottoman forces that had occupied the city, together with vast Russian territories. Bulliet seems blissfully unaware of the history of the war in the Middle East: Russian forces in Transcaucasia went into rapid disintegration following the revolutionary upheavals of 1917, and Ottoman forces reached Baku the following year. To the degree Armenians in Baku were a national minority in the autumn of 1918, they were a national minority in the (temporarily) expanded Ottoman, rather than Russian empire. They were slaughtered precisely because of this fact. Bulliet's error is an appalling example of ignorance in a professional historian.

Indeed, what credential did Bulliet possess, that a leading journal in the field should ask him to review our book? He is a medievalist who has done no research or writing on the subject. But in his spare time, he propagates the view of the Middle East and its nations as hapless victims of Western imperialism. In Middle Eastern studies that in itself is a sufficient credential to pronounce on anything. In his review, Bulliet rushes to absolve the Ottomans of responsibility for crimes they committed in their effort to keep their own empire intact. The evidence be damned - for it would not so well have served Bulliet's interest.

Truth and Untruth

This conventional view - absolving Middle Easterners and blaming the West - is academically unsound and morally reprehensible. It is academically unsound because the facts tell an altogether different story of modern Middle Eastern history, one that has consistently been suppressed because of its incongruity with the politically correct dogmas of the Arabist establishment. And it is morally reprehensible because denying the responsibility of individuals and societies for their actions is patronizing and in the worst tradition of the "white man's burden" approach, which has dismissed regional players as half-witted creatures, too dim to be accountable for their own fate. As Lawrence of Arabia, perhaps the most influential early exponent of this approach, described the Arabs: "They were a limited, narrow-minded people, whose inert intellect lay fallow in incurious resignation. Their imaginations were vivid, but not creative … They did not understand our metaphysical difficulties, our introspective questioning. They knew only truth and untruth, belief and unbelief, without our hesitating retinue of finer shades."24

Little wonder therefore that Empires of the Sand was more favorably received by Middle Eastern intellectuals, fed up with being talked down to and open to real revisionism of their region's history after suffering decades of condescension from their paternalistic champions in the West.

"...transcribed by fellow liar Leni Brenner."

That's absolutely irrelevant. She's not the author. Also, just cuz she rips giant fatal holes into your entire corpus of dogmas, this does not make her a liar. Unlike you she massively documents her arguments with, among other things, absolutely damning historical documents. 'The Iron Wall' for example. You're the one who's a desperate liar. If you don't like how her name just happens to be associated with the author here, go read one of your own side's transliterations. This site gives a very glowing apologist (typical zionist) version of his life story ( http://www.jabotinsky.org/jabl_e.htm ):

http://www.jabotinsky.org/Jaboworld/docs/ethics.doc
quote: "Let us consider for a moment the point of view of those to whom [zionist theft ("colonization") of Palestine] seems immoral. We shall trace the root of the evil to this – that we are seeking to colonise a country against the wishes of its population, in other words, by force. Everything else that is undesirable grows out of this root with axiomatic inevitability. What then is to be done?
...Yet if homeless Jewry demands (sic) Palestine for itself it is "immoral" because it does not suit the native population. Such morality may be accepted among cannibals, but not in a civilised world. The soil does not belong to those who possess land in excess but to those who do not possess any."

Fascinating moral "logic" here, as Jabotinsky himself acknowledges by way of setting up that amazing conceit:

"From the Jewish point of view, morality has a particularly interesting appearance."

In short, this guy was just as morally insane as you, which is no accident. Your whackoness traces directly back to his.

EVERYONE who opposes zionism should read this thing in full. It's one of the most damning pieces of the puzzle you will ever see.

The allegation at top is the only thing resembling a counterpoint you could come up with. To state the obvious, if all you can counter with is amazingly flimsy red herrings and canards, it's probably best to just run down your rathole and not poke your head out.

"Use of force can mean any number of things and isn't tantamount nor interchangeable with murder."

Uh-huh. Except that if you'd phrased this HONESTLY it would have read "use of force isn't NECESSARILY tantamount nor interchangeable with murder." Two obvious problems with this morally insane "reasoning":

1) In Israel's case, it obviously doesn't remotely apply

2) Name me a single case in history when forceful colonization by Westerners has not BOTH killed people AND been morally grotesque

What did I just say to you, idiot? Go back and re-read the last sentence of my previous post. You really are nuts, you know

Name me a single case in history when forceful colonization by Westerners has not BOTH killed people AND been morally grotesque

Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence. Israel is not a colonizier

A colony is defined as such:
A group of emigrants or their descendants who settle in a distant territory but remain subject to or closely associated with the parent country.

(If Israel is a colony, what is it a colony of/ to?)

A region politically controlled by a distant country; a dependency.
(If Israel is a colony than what is it a colony of/to?)

- Use of force can mean any number of things and isn't tantamount nor interchangeable with murder.

Truth Warper:
"blah blah Two obvious problems with this morally insane "reasoning":

"1) In Israel's case, it obviously doesn't remotely apply

"2) Name me a single case in history when forceful colonization by Westerners has not BOTH killed people AND been morally grotesque "

We were discussing Jabotinsky's philosophy as he mused it, not Israel's case. You're going to every length humanly possible to sidestep that I've shown your anti-Jabotinsky argument to be barely nibbling at straws.

"If Israel is a colony, what is it a colony of/ to?"

Words usually have more than one definition, you know. Here's another definition of colony:

a) A group of people with the same interests or ethnic origin concentrated in a particular area: e.g. the American colony in Paris.
b) The area occupied by such a group.

Also, there is an entity analogous to a nation behind this, which is zionism as a whole, i.e. the racist / nationalist world-wide movement to reunite diaspora Jews in a Jewish national home. Even thuh Yidiot said as much.

Also, if Israel isn't a colony, how come the originator of your whackoness himself referred to it as such? Morally unsettling movements always start out more honest at first and then get more crypto as people catch on. Colonialism, "Manifest destiny" (a.k.a. lebensraum), all that criminal shit, was still sort of acceptable when Jabbo wrote this screed. It was only after WWII that it really had to go crypto.

Moron Thinker: "We were discussing Jabotinsky's philosophy as he mused it"

Ah, bullshit. The violence he'd get into later was clearly implied by his language

Here's Jabbo finally spilling the beans of his thesis:
"Zionist colonization, even the most restricted, must
either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the
will of the native population. This colonization can,
therefore, continue and develop only under the
protection of a force independent of the local
population – an iron wall which the native population
cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy
towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would
only be hypocrisy."

"A [colonized] people makes such enormous
concessions on such fateful questions only when
there is no hope left. Only when not a single breach is
visible in the iron wall, only then do extreme groups
lose their sway, and influence transfers to moderate
groups [obviously wrong]. Only then would these
moderate groups come to us with proposals for
mutual concessions."

"...the only path to such an agreement is the iron wall,
that is to say the strengthening in Palestine of a
government without any kind of Arab influence, that is
to say one against which the Arabs will fight. In other
words, for us the only path to an agreement in the
future is an absolute refusal of any attempts at an
agreement now [what an incredibly circular
disingenuous argument!]."

an 'iron wall', eh? That's reminiscent of the death camp wall you slimes are building over there now

"...there are no meaningful differences between
our “militarists” and our “vegetarians.” One prefers an
iron wall of Jewish bayonets, the other proposes an
iron wall of British bayonets..."

Bayonets, eh? Oh yah, that's "non-violent musing"

"...either Zionism is moral and just or it is immoral and
unjust. But that is a question that we should have
settled before we became Zionists. Actually we have
settled that question, and in the affirmative."

"We hold that Zionism is moral and just. And since it is
moral and just, justice must be done...

There is no other morality."

Wow does this facile shit sound familiar or what?! "Hey, we're the Chosen Race! OF COURSE we're moral. It's automatic, even when we're playing bayonet Lacrosse with Ay-rab babies." Typical colonialist mentality

Even Yidio-bot slipped into exceptionalist bigot-think:
"The standard Marxist categories just don't apply to this situation."

Oh no, OF COURSE NOT! Jews are ALWAYS exempt from the standard moral frame that applies to everybody else. What imbecile doesn't know this?

Finally, Jabbo went on to institute a fascist variant of zionism ('Revisionism'), incomparably bellicose, that continues to this day. That ups the jig of his coy rhetorical games right there

Rereading Iron Wall, I see where you got some of your horseshit about "benevolent" colonization:

Jabbo:
"But those “great explorers,” the English, Scots and
Dutch who were the first real pioneers of North
America were people possessed of a very high ethical
standard; people who not only wished to leave the
redskins at peace but could also pity a fly."

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!!!

Need I say more?

This just the beginning of his fucked up lies on this front, by the way

Thuh Yidiot: "It must suck royally to be anti-Zionist today!!!"

Wutchameen? Toying with you head-cases is the best fun in town! Right JA?

11 July 2006: Human rights groups to Israeli High Court: Stop the harm to the civilian population in Gaza

Today, July 11, 2006, six human rights groups petitioned the Israeli High Court demanding that the crossings in Gaza be opened to allow for the steady and regular supply of fuel, food, medicine, and equipment, including spare parts needed to operate generators.

The groups – The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, Hamoked: Center for Defence of the Individual, B’tselem, The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel and Gisha - Center for the Legal Protection of Freedom of Movement also asked for an urgent hearing in order to prevent serious harm to the health of the civilian population, especially patients in hospital, and to prevent the breakdown of the water and sewage system in Gaza.

During the current military operation in the Gaza Strip the Israeli military has interrupted the supply of fuel to Gaza and kept Gaza's crossings mostly closed to supply of food and other humanitarian goods. The uninterrupted supply of fuel and equipment is necessary for the functioning of Gaza's health and sanitation systems, and Gaza requires a steady supply of food and medicine.

Since Gaza's power station was destroyed on June 28, there is an increased need for fuel to power the generators in Gaza and for spare parts to keep the generators running at such a high capacity. The closure of Karni Crossing has led to shortages in food at a time when, given the difficulty of obtaining electricity to prepare and refrigerate foodstuffs, Gaza requires increased shipments of dairy products, meat, flour, and other goods.

Without a steady supply of fuel and parts, hospitals cannot perform life-saving surgery and treatment plants cannot pump and treat sewage in Gaza. Gaza hospitals have reduced their activities to life-saving procedures. Since the bombing of the power plant, Gaza's water utility has been dumping 60,000 cubic meters of raw sewage into the sea each day, for lack of power and equipment to run the treatment plants, and there is concern that untreated sewage will pollute the aquifer or spill into the streets.

Because of the electricity shortages, stores in Gaza have stopped selling meat and dairy products. Trucks laden with food and medicine have been stuck at Karni Crossing, which has been closed since July 6, including 230 containers from international aid organizations.

Withholding fuel, food, and equipment from Gaza residents constitutes collective punishment, in violation of international law. The petition argues that Israel is not fulfilling its legal obligations to provide for the needs of the civilian population and to distinguish between military and civilian targets.

According to Faysal Shawa, a businessman and Gaza resident: "We have been thrown back to the way people lived 100 years ago ... We don't have water, we don't have milk for our kids."

According to Maher Najer, Deputy Director of Gaza's Water Company: "We face severe shortages in the electricity, fuel, and spare parts needed to operate Gaza's water and sewage systems. These shortages threaten to create a public health catastrophe."

...but I sure got evidence. Right here:

Among all the varieties of zionists, this sort of frothing bug-eyed rabies is usually only seen in the Jewish ones. Take you for example

Same goes for Carlos, same goes for Sefarad. I call it the 'Becky Johnson Syndrome." BTW Seffy saying she was a Catholic Spaniard is no more credible than anything else she said -- that is, not at all. Zionists lie about everything. It's hard-wired into their brains

STOP THE U.S.--ISRAELI WAR AGAINST LEBANON AND PALESTINE!

July 13, 2006

The blood in Gaza and Lebanon is on George Bush's hands. The bombs,
shells and missiles now pounding Lebanese and Palestinian cities and
villages, wiping out entire families and leaving hundreds of thousands
without power or water, are made in the U.S. So are the planes and
cannons that launch them.

The Israeli attack on Gaza and the sovereign state of Lebanon is part
of Bush's war against Iraq--part of a decades-long war against the Arab
people and the people of the Middle East.

The Bush regime pays the bills for the Israeli war machine and has
given it a green light to go to war. And it is using the
Israeli-created crisis as a pretext for attacks on Syria and Iran.

Israel has launched a terror bombing against the people of Gaza and
Lebanon, allegedly in response to the capture of Israeli soldiers by
Palestinian and Lebanese freedom fighters. This excuse is a lie.
Israeli artillery murdered a dozen civilians in Gaza, including a
family resting on the beach, the week before Corporal Shalit was
captured.

Israel's invasion of Gaza and kidnapping of Palestinian ministers were
planned six months ago. What Israel seeks is the overthrow of
Palestine's democratically elected government. And the Bush regime
seeks complete control over the Middle East for the greater profit of
Big Oil and the military-industrial complex.

The three captured Israeli soldiers are not hostages, as Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert claims. They are volunteers in the brutal, racist
Israeli military. They are prisoners of war. The real hostages are the
9,000 Palestinian political prisoners, including hundreds of women and
children, held in Israeli concentration camps. They are illegally
imprisoned, and many have been tortured. If the Israeli state cared
about its soldiers' welfare, it would agree to a prisoner exchange.

The three POWs are the latest of many pretenses used by Israel to
justify decades of war and terror against the people of Palestine,
Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Jordan. Since the Palestinian people were
forced from their homes by force and massacre in 1948, hundreds of
thousands of Arab women, men and children have been murdered and maimed
by Israeli bombs and missiles. And the U.S. government has spent
hundreds of billions to make this possible. The U.S. poured arms and
aid to Israel while the people of New Orleans drowned, while Katrina
evacuees are being evicted onto the street, while tens of millions in
this country lack health care.

The International Action Center calls on justice-loving people in the
U.S. and the world over to stand in solidarity with the people of
Palestine and Lebanon. They have a right to defend themselves. They
have a right to fight for land and freedom. They have a right to seek
freedom for their unjustly imprisoned compatriots.

The Lebanese and Palestinian combatants--be they in Hezbollah, Hamas or
the Popular Resistance Committees--are not terrorists. They are freedom
fighters, like the Spear of the Nation in South Africa, like the Jewish
resisters of the Warsaw Ghetto. The Israelis, with their mass
collective punishment of civilians, are emulating the Nazis.

We salute the stand of the Congress of South African Trade Unions
(COSATU), which fought so long against a white minority regime backed
by Israel and the United States. COSATU has denounced Israeli apartheid
as worse than that in South Africa, and called for international
sanctions against the racist Israeli settler state. The South African
Council of Churches has also adopted this call.

Peace in the Middle East is possible. It requires an end to occupation
from Iraq to Palestine, the freedom of Lebanese and Palestinian
prisoners and the right of displaced Palestinians to return to their
homes. It requires the U.S. to withdraw from the region and stop
financing the brutal Israeli war machine.

U.S.-Israel, Hands Off Gaza and Lebanon!
Free All Lebanese and Palestinian Political Prisoners!
U.S. Out of the Middle East!
Stop Aid to Israel!

Also, there is an entity analogous to a nation behind [Israel's colonization], which is zionism as a whole, i.e. the racist / nationalist world-wide movement to reunite diaspora Jews in a Jewish national home. Even thuh Yidiot said as much.

Also, if Israel isn't a colony, how come the originator of your whackoness himself referred to it as such? Morally questionable movements always start out more honest at first and then get more crypto as people catch on. Colonialism, "Manifest destiny" (a.k.a. lebensraum), all that criminal shit, was still sort of acceptable when Jabbo wrote this screed. It was only after WWII that it really had to go crypto.

As I have said many times, the dominant NATIONS of the West (would be called 'empires' in any honest era) have been locking down CRYPTO-colonial control of the entire planet since WWII, and Israel is absolutely an instrument of their global design. It is a geo-strategic colony of the West

Reality is more nuanced for this observation to hold water. For example, Israel's ocassional attempts to deal with China that were at variance with the US etiles' (ilitary-industrial complex) wishes.
You problem is you seldom think your constructs through. When you do, you stifle the logical conclusion and end up spewing some fallacy.

BECKY: There is a world-wide Catholic entity too. So what?
This is NOT the same as a sovereign foreign power and you know this. The worldwide effort to form a national homeland for the Jewish people was based on the need for them to have a place where they could live without suffering from the prejudice, reprisals, discrimination, pogroms, and genocide of the 1940's. Biblical texts talk of Jews returning to their ancient homeland given to them by God.


I can't speculate why one of the founders of the modern Zionist movement (not to be confused with the pre-Christianity Zionist movement) made some kind of comment in the context of the time. In those days, the prevailing authority was the Ottoman Empire.

My point is that Israel is not a colony of any foreign power, nor has it colonized a sovereign nation. It is as legitimate as Jordan or Lebanon which were also formed out of the defeated Ottoman Empire by manipulating foreign powers.

TW continues to present the myth that white Europeans came into land which belonged to indigenous Arabs and "occupied" "their" land. He ignores indigenous Jews, ignores ancient Israeli history, and ignores the relatively recent arrival of Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Egyptian, Saudi, and Yemenese immigrants who compose the bulk of the Palestinian Arab population today.

He ignores that the early Zionists purchased land.
He ignores that the newborn Israeli state begged the Arabs to stay in their homes and become Israeli citizens
He ignores that it was a UN resolution that partitioned the remaining 20% of Palestine into 2 states: Israel and Palestine. --Accepted by Israel/Rejected by the Arab States
He ignores that the Jewish claim to the land far pre-dates any Arab claim to the land

It is a FICTION to state that Israel is a colony of any other country nor that Israel is colonizing any other country.

And its not racist if you accept people of all religions, races, and colors into your nation as equal citizens.

As I have said many times, the dominant NATIONS of the West (would be called 'empires' in any honest era) have been locking down CRYPTO-colonial control of the entire planet since WWII, and Israel is absolutely an instrument of their global design. It is a geo-strategic colony of the West

So, its a SECRET colony, like yet another conspiracy then? Whose in on the secret colony thing? Has anyone told the Jews who think that they've finally obtained national self determination? I don't think so.

"1939 White Paper virtually curtailing Jewish immigration"

"they've been siding squarely with the local Arabs since the discovery of oil"

Oil politics of the 1920s and geopolitics of the 1930s might as well have been on a different planet considering how profoundly these changed in the immediate aftermath of WWII, so don't go pretending this stuff has any relevance to the post-war crypto-colonial game

I suggest that the British had much more strategic (i.e. devious and complicated) motives for doing this stuff than you're admitting. Your knee-jerk habit is to see simplistic 'anti-Semite' bogeymen and 'poo-ah Iswael' victimology everywhere you look. You're of course conveniently cherry-picking AROUND the Balfour deal and Britain's Security Council vote favoring Israel's creation. These are more significant than the obscure trivia you're selecting from history

You're deliberately throwing up straw men Yiddo. I didn't say the British CREATED zionism. I just said they know useful geo-strategic boobs when they see them. British foreign policy ALWAYS has self-interested motives lurking behind it. They would have just kept fucking you over on Balfour if some such reason were not in the mix. Just because European Jews stampeded into a mass movement to invade Israel, this gave Britain no motive whatsoever for signing off on the UN resolution to create a zionist state. International decree could just as easily have left you as Jewish immigrants living in scattered enclaves in an Arab country.

Truth Warper:

You take the proverbial cake when it comes to an obfuscation job. I fail to see how this invalidatesanything I've said in the previous post.

First off, the Balfour Declaration was given before oil became a notable factor in British foreign policy. Secondly, the highest echelons in Britain may have felt it appropriate to support Israel's creation in the SC once the Partition resolution was a fait accompli accepted by the Zionists and perhaps the Cold War geopolitical calculations played a factor in this too.
I didn't cherry pick nothing.

"So, you're whole stupid point ... was that the British acted in their own self interest? DUH!"

Oh gee, ya think?

Rising Soviet power on the world stage is not the only such specter that figures in here. There's a much more pertinent one: the immensely forceful movement to create a pan-Arab state stretching from North Africa to Iraq. This obviously would have produced a major strategic power. The creation of Israel surgically drove a stake exactly into the heart of pan-Arab nationalism, i.e. it geographically isolated the two major Arab spheres (North Africa and Arabia proper) from each other. Britain's pre-war plan for this permanent barricade was to settle in and make the place a long-term colonial beach-head, but then WWII broke Britain's back, which clearly made this plan toast.

This development is what made zionist fanatics the instrumental proxies in the West's program to nip pan-Arabism in the bud.

Another indication that this geo-strategic program was/is real is the list of Arab leaders the West has gone after with a vengeance: Qaddafi, Qassem, Nasser, Saddam, Assad. All of these guys have been/are big public icons of the Pan-Arab movement (and also secular modernists). Arab leaders sign their own death warrant when they set foot anywhere near this movement.

There's also the way all of the capitalist SC members (England, France, the US) covertly helped Israel become a nuclear power beginning in the 1950s. At that time it really looked like Nasser might make pan-Arabism happen, so the West wanted its proxy to have the capability to deal this movement the ultimate death blow, if necessary. Wow, what a fukkin horrible mistake that was!

The quiet war to contain pan-Arabism was a Cold War in itself, only loosely associated with the other more famous one

The Iron Wall

The tension between the claim that the land was empty and the demand that the “non-existent” inhabitants be ruthlessly subjugated was less acute when Zionists discussed strategy among themselves. The reality of what was necessary to colonize Palestine took precedence over propaganda.

One of the ideological forbears of Zionism, Vladimir Jabotinsky, is known as the founder of “Revisionist Zionism”, the Zionist current which had little patience with the liberal and socialist facade employed by the “labor” Zionists. [Revisionist Zionism is represented today by Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir.]

In 1923 Jabotinsky wrote The Iron Wall, which could be called a benchmark essay for the entire Zionist movement. He set forth bluntly the essential premises of Zionism which had, indeed, been laid out before, if not as eloquently, by Theodor Herzl, Chaim Weizmann and others. Jabotinsky’s reasoning has been cited and reflected in subsequent Zionist advocacy – from nominal “left” to so-called “right”. He wrote as follows:

There can be no discussion of voluntary reconciliation between us and the Arabs, not now, and not in the foreseeable future. All well-meaning people, with the exception of those blind from birth, understood long ago the complete impossibility of arriving at a voluntary agreement with the Arabs of Palestine for the transformation of Palestine from an Arab country to a country with a Jewish majority. Each of you has some general understanding of the history of colonization. Try to find even one example when the colonization of a country took place with the agreement of the native population. Such an event has never occurred.

The natives will always struggle obstinately against the colonists – and it is all the same whether they are cultured or uncultured. The comrades in arms of [Hernan] Cortez or [Francisco] Pizarro conducted themselves like brigands. The Redskins fought with uncompromising fervor against both evil and good-hearted colonizers. The natives struggled because any kind of colonization anywhere at anytime is inadmissible to any native people.

Any native people view their country as their national home, of which they will be complete masters. They will never voluntarily allow a new master. So it is for the Arabs. Compromisers among us try to convince us that the Arabs are some kind of fools who can be tricked with hidden formulations of our basic goals. I flatly refuse to accept this view of the Palestinian Arabs.

They have the precise psychology that we have. They look upon Palestine with the same instinctive love and true fervor that any Aztec looked upon his Mexico or any Sioux upon his prairie. Each people will struggle against colonizers until the last spark of hope that they can avoid the dangers of conquest and colonization is extinguished. The Palestinians will struggle in this way until there is hardly a spark of hope.

It matters not what kind of words we use to explain our colonization. Colonization has its own integral and inescapable meaning understood by every Jew and by every Arab. Colonization has only one goal. This is in the nature of things. To change that nature is impossible. It has been necessary to carry on colonization against the will of the Palestinian Arabs and the same condition exists now.

Even an agreement with non-Palestinians represents the same kind of fantasy. In order for Arab nationalists of Baghdad and Mecca and Damascus to agree to pay so serious a price they would have to refuse to maintain the Arab character of Palestine.

We cannot give any compensation for Palestine, neither to the Palestinians nor to other Arabs. Therefore, a voluntary agreement is inconceivable. All colonization, even the most restricted, must continue in defiance of the will of the native population. Therefore, it can continue and develop only under the shield of force which comprises an Iron Wall through which the local population can never break through. This is our Arab policy. To formulate it any other way would be hypocrisy.

Whether through the Balfour Declaration or the Mandate, external force is a necessity for establishing in the country conditions of rule and defense through which the local population, regardless of what it wishes, will be deprived of the possibility of impeding our colonization, administratively or physically. Force must play its role – with strength and without indulgence. In this, there are no meaningful differences between our militarists and our vegetarians. One prefers an Iron Wall of Jewish bayonets; the other an Iron Wall of English bayonets.

To the hackneyed reproach that this point of view is unethical, I answer, ’absolutely untrue.’ This is our ethic. There is no other ethic. As long as there is the faintest spark of hope for the Arabs to impede us, they will not sell these hopes – not for any sweet words nor for any tasty morsel, because this is not a rabble but a people, a living people. And no people makes such enormous concessions on such fateful questions, except when there is no hope left, until we have removed every opening visible in the Iron Wall. [27]


The Metaphor of Iron

The theme and imagery of coercive iron and steel evoked by Vladimir Jabotinsky was to be taken up by the nascent national socialist movement in Germany, even as Jabotinsky had, in turn, been inspired by Benito Mussolini. The mystical invocation of iron will in the service of martial and chauvinist conquest united Zionist, colonial and fascist ideologues. It sought its legitimacy in legends of a conquering past.

Cecil B. de Mille’s Samson and Delilah was more than a Hollywood biblical romance about the perfidy of woman and the virtue of manly strength. It carried, as well, the authoritarian values of the novel from which it was adopted, Vladimir Jabotinsky’s Samson, which trumpeted the necessity of brute force if the Israelites were to conquer the Philistines.

“Shall I give our people a message from you?” Samson thought for a while, and then said slowly: “The first word is iron. They must get iron. They must give everything they have for iron – their silver and wheat, oil and wine and flocks, even their wives and daughters. All for iron! There is nothing in the world more valuable than iron.” [28]

Jabotinsky, the siren of “an iron wall through which the local population can not break through” and of “the iron law of every colonizing movement ... armed force”, found his call echoed in major Zionist forays against victim peoples in the decades to come.

Israel’s current Minister of Defense, Yitzhak Rabin, launched the 1967 war as Chief of Staff with “Iron Will”. As Prime Minister in 1975 and 1976 he declared the policy of Hayad Barzel, the “Iron Hand”, in the West Bank. Over 300,000 Palestinians were to pass through Israeli prisons under conditions of sustained and institutionalized torture exposed by the Sunday Times of London and denounced by Amnesty International.

His successor as Chief of Staff, Raphael Eitan, imposed the “Iron Arm” – Zro’aa Barzel – on the West Bank, and assassination was added to the repressive arsenal. On July 17, 1982, the Israeli cabinet met to prepare what the London Sunday Times would term “this carefully pre-planned military operation to purge the camps, called Moah Barzel or ‘Iron Brain’”. The camps were Sabra and Shatila and the operation “was familiar to Sharon and Begin, part of Sharon’s larger plan discussed by the Israeli cabinet”. [29]

When Yitzhak Rabin, who had supported the Revisionist Likud in Lebanon during the war, became Shimon Peres’ Minister of Defense in the current “national unity” government, he launched in Lebanon and the West Bank the policy of Egrouf Barzel, the “Iron Fist”. It is the “Iron Fist” which Rabin again cited as the basis for his policy of allout repression and collective punishment during the 1987-1988 Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza.

HAMAS is the perpetrator

GABE WRITES: "Israel does have the right to use the force necessary (maybe a paramilitary force to go in and get their soldier, killing his captors if necessary), but they do not have the right to use collective punishment against a whole people."

BECKY: This attack, in which the HAMAS MILITARY WING tunneled under the INTERNATIONAL BORDER OF ISRAEL to attack INSIDE PRE-1967 TERRITORY IDF soldiers, killing two, wounding 4, and kidnapping one corporal, was an act of war committed by the HAMAS GOVT.

HAMAS THEN PRAISED THE OPERATION PUBLICLY and asserted that the soldier would be released when all women and children held by Israel are released.

NOR has Hamas stopped the rocket attacks.

Therefore, HAMAS has declared war on Israel. This is not a mere police operation where a few bad terrorists are being rounded up. Hamas has declared war on Israel and the gloves are off. Palestinians elected this govt. At some point, they are responsible too.

That said, I deplore the bombing of the power station.
I don't see why this was militarily necessary, and it is short-sighted.

REPLY TO TRUTH WARPER: The JDL lost members in droves following the violence perpetrated by that organization. I personally know someone who was heavily involved with the JDL who will have nothing to do with it now. LA.IMC has nothing to fear from "Zionist" anger.
You are a trouble-maker, attempting to smear and label where no such phenomenon exists.

BECKY: If GABE got this one so wrong, how reliable do you think his other statements are? His take on International law is absurd. Israel is NOT occupying Gaza --they left in Sept. 2005. The recent incursion is to reclaim a kidnapped soldier and to stop the illegitimate under International law rocket attacks!!!

NOTE TO LA.IMC READERS!! Don't take either Gabe's or my word for it. Google the two fields yourself and see what you get!!

Batshit Boy: "...Saddam was cuddled by the US since 1958..."

Mhm. Cuddled until he finally dumped the US international agenda entirely in favor of decisive anti-colonial Arab nationalist action (dismantling the West's 80-year-old bantustanization of the ME). uh-huh.

Oh you mean Assad Sr had trouble from Iraq and Jordan back when both of them were US imperial lap-dogs (which Jordan still is)? Quel astonishissimo! Mmm, I'm devastated.

You know, you better do some mechanical maintenance on that cherry-picker soon. You're going to wear out its shoulder elbow and wrist whipping it around like that all the time.

"Pardon? The US wasn't a party to this."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! The US has been the unquestioned master of the Western sphere since WWII. Nobody in the West makes a move this big without the US knowing and signing off on it.

BTW, Yiddo said earlier that the program to use international zionism as a proxy buffoon in the ME was "SECRET." This isn't true. It's never been a secret to Israeli political leaders. Anybody above a certain level of the political food chain can figure this stuff out on their own. Israel's leadership has deliberately made Israel as instrumental as possible in this sense cuz they knew doing so would free them to slash Ay-rab babies' heads off to their hearts' content. They'd also feed their own babies to the Molech in order to get a piece of the internationalist extreme power & wealth action. Just like they're consciously selling the bunch of you down the river, too.
