It is doubtful that the mass of displaced Palestinians,
seated in the West Bank and Gaza,
and scattered throughout the world, consider themselves well represented, and
approve foreigners still making plans for validating the usurpation of their
lands and providing them with a new state. Do the two-staters place the needs
of the Palestinians before the wants of the Israelis and do they recommend a
viable Palestinian nation on land that can provide sufficient agriculture to
feed the population, sufficient water to satisfy their thirst and sufficient
area to house those hoping to return to ancestral homes, or are they only
legitimizing Israel's illegal land gains, illegal seizure of Palestinian bank
accounts and property and illegal ethnic cleansing? Do they expect that
international agencies will maintain the new state, as it does now? Do they
propose a real state or only real estate, which is a huge encampment with the
trappings of a state?
The use of the words "solution' and "conflict' in the
expression, "the only solution for the Middle East conflict"
betrays the thinking behind the two-state "solution."
The argument between the Palestinians and Israelis is not a
conflict; it is a crisis -- a singular crisis in which the Palestinian people
suffer displacement, oppression and degradation. It is this crisis that needs a
resolution, rather than a solution. Solution satisfies the Israelis -- a method
to separate themselves from the pesky
Palestinians in their midst and purify
their tribe.
The
very essence of Zionism was to have a state where Jews would be masters of
their fate, preferably in all of Palestine .
Note the clause, "preferably in all of Palestine."
Is that slip of the pen, or does it show the Zionists' true intentions, since
Day One?
What mastery and what fate does Avery
have in mind? Do Jewish families have different inclinations, different
pursuits, different hopes than other people? How do millions of people get together
and master their fate without becoming robotic responders to a totalitarian
system and by surrendering their personal fates. This proposition reinforces
the concept that Jews are an international conspiracy, who are contemptuous of
others and perceive themselves as being uniquely solidified and possessing
superior goals.
Has Zionism given Jews a state where they are masters of their fate?
All Israeli Jews have been forced to disregard their past cultures and historical
identities, conform to a new culture and establish a new identity -- badgered into
discarding previous languages, literature, music and religious litany. The
Israeli Jews don't decide their fate but serve masters of a problematic fate -- continually
governed by a collection of nationalist militarists, Ariel Sharon, Bib
Netanyahu, Avigdor Lieberman, to name a few -
behaving as one involuntary organism, serving most of a lifetime in the
military reserves, being killed and killing in continuous wars, and seeing
themselves pushed around by an orthodox assembly who feeds from their earnings.
Not wanting to be bothered by the orthodox ruffians, most Israelis refuse to
visit Jerusalem. Nowhere in the
world are Jews more compartmentalized, more dominated by a government, more
insecure, and less "masters of their fate."
Has Zionism decreased enmity toward Jews -- just the opposite
-- twenty first century Jews are criticized mainly due to their support for the
Zionist incursion into Palestine
and its oppressive and warlike actions.
