ZIONISM UNMASKED – A fairy tale that’s become a terrifying nightmare

  • February 11, 2010
  • Comments: 26

This article was written as one in a series with other authors under the title ZIONISM UNMASKED. I will be tweeting the contributions of others in due course.

Most Jews of the world (and probably many Gentiles) believe that Zionism is the return of Jews to the land promised to them by God. At the risk of offending some readers of all faiths for saying so, I must confess, and do so cheerfully, that I don’t buy this concept because the Gentile me does not believe in the God of organized, institutional religions. So, I say to myself, no God, no promise to Jews (or anybody else). In my perception of the scheme of things, God is the potential for good inside each and every one of us. God so defined is a prisoner within each of us and our prime task is to liberate this prisoner. But let’s put that to one side.

The Jews who “returned” in answer to Zionism’s call had no biological connection to the ancient Hebrews. They were converts to Judaism long after the end of the Hebrew conquest and short-lived domination of much of Canaan, the name as in the Bible by which Palestine was first known to the world. They therefore had no legitimate claim on the land.

The Jews who did have a legitimate claim, probably not more than about 10,000 at the time of Zionism’s first dishonest mission statement in 1897, were the direct descendants of the Israelites who stayed in place on the land through time. They regarded themselves as Palestinians, and they were fiercely opposed to Zionism’s colonial enterprise because they feared it would make them as well as the incoming alien Jews enemies of the Palestinian Arabs.

Also true is that prior to the obscenity of the Nazi holocaust, most Jews of the world were not at all interested in Zionism’s colonial enterprise and many were opposed to it. The most informed and thoughtful of those who did express their opposition believed that Zionism was morally wrong. They also feared that Zionism’s colonial enterprise would lead to unending conflict. But most of all they feared that Zionism, if it was allowed by the major powers to have its way, would one day provoke anti-Semitism. Which is precisely what is happening today. (Hence the title of my book, ZIONISM: THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS).

In reality it is how the Zionists created their state – a Zionist not a Jewish state – that best defines what Zionism actually is.

Israel was created, mainly, by Zionist terrorism and ethnic cleansing – a pre-planned process that saw three-quarters of the indigenous Arab inhabitants of Palestine dispossessed of their homes, their land and their rights.

Zionism asserts that its state was given its birth certificate and thus legitimacy by the UN Partition Resolution of 29 November 1947. That is propaganda nonsense. The truth can be summarized as follows.

  • In the first place the UN without the consent of the majority of the people of Palestine did not have the right to decide to partition Palestine or assign any part of its territory to a minority of alien immigrants in order for them to establish a state of their own.
  • By the narrowest of margins, and only after a rigged vote, the UN General Assembly did pass a resolution to partition Palestine and create two states, one Arab, one Jewish, with Jerusalem not part of either. But the General Assembly resolution was only a recommendation – meaning that it could have no effect, would not become policy, unless approved by the Security Council.
  • The General Assembly’s recommendation never went to the Security Council for consideration because the U.S. knew that, if approved, it could only be implemented by force given the extent of Arab and other Muslim opposition to it; and President Truman was not prepared to use force to partition Palestine.
  • So the partition plan was vitiated (became invalid) and the question of what the hell to do about Palestine – after Britain had made a mess of it and walked away, effectively surrendering to Zionist terrorism – was taken back to the General Assembly for more discussion. The option favoured and proposed by the U.S. was temporary UN Trusteeship. It was while the General Assembly was debating what do that Israel unilaterally declared itself to be in existence - actually in defiance of the will of the organised international community, including the Truman administration.

The truth of the time was that the Zionist state had no right to exist and, more to the point, could have no right to exist UNLESS … Unless it was recognised and legitimized by those Zionism had dispossessed of their land and their rights. In international law only the Palestinians could give Israel the legitimacy it craved.

What is a Zionist today?

Short answer: One, not necessarily a Jew, who (to quote Balfour) supports the Zionist state of Israel “right or wrong” and who cannot or will not admit that a terrible wrong was done to the Palestinians by Zionism – a wrong that must be acknowledged and then corrected on terms acceptable to the Palestinians if there is ever to be peace and the countdown to catastrophe for all is to be stopped. The Arab word for the catastrophe of the original dispossession of the Palestinians is Nakba. In my view, Zionism’s Nakba denial is as obscene and as evil as denial of the Nazi holocaust.

One thing nobody can deny is the effectiveness of Zionism’s propaganda machine. Zionism’s spin doctors probably learned from the Nazis that the bigger the lies and the more frequently they are told, the more likely it is that they will be believed in the mainly Gentile, Judeo-Christian or Western world; and all the more so when the mainstream media is terrified of offending Zionism either too much or at all.

The biggest of all of Zionism’s propaganda lies is the one which asserts that Israel has lived in constant danger of annihilation, the “driving into the sea” of its Jews. As I document in detail in my book, Israel’s existence has never, ever, been in danger from any combination of Arab force. Not in 1948. Not in 1967. And not even in 1973. Zionism’s assertion to the contrary was the cover which allowed Israel to get away where it mattered most, in North America and Western Europe, with presenting its aggression (often state terrorism) as self-defense, and itself as the victim when actually it was, and is, the oppressor.

The companion propaganda lie is that Israel never had Arab partners for peace.

Zionism has two hallmarks.

One is self-righteousness of a most extraordinary kind. In 1986 this self-righteousness was described by Yehoshafat Harkabi, a former Director of Israeli Military Intelligence, as “the biggest real danger” to the Jewish state.

The other hallmark is a shocking and awesome arrogance of military and economic power and the influence the latter buys, most critically in the U.S. Congress where what passes for democracy is for sale to the highest bidders.

On the matter of truth as it relates to the making and sustaining of conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel, I hope the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) is right: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” If that’s true, Zionism not only can be defeated but will be.

    Thanks Alan.

    What I so much appreciate about ALL your articles, is the clearness of analysis and exposition. Whoever reads this article, undoubtedly must come to one simple conclusion: That your arguments are irrefutable. And that Israel is an illegal state. Only a person who is not aware of the bare facts of history and on top of that is under a complete Zionist propaganda spell could be tempted to openly challenge your statements.

    Yes, Zionism will go away. And perhaps sooner than some expect - or fear.

    Yes THEY are afraid! "Among USA citizens, support for Israel is diminishing by the hour", said today American Legal Advisor, Mr. Lamb, in a Live comment from PressTv's Beirut Studios. "You can hear the drum-beat of war as America's Congress pressures Obama into attacking Iran, because the Zionist Lobby wants him to. ... Once you attack Iran, all the world's eyes will be turned away from Israel and its evil ways".

    That, in a nut-shell, is Zionism's way of dealing with the rest of the world.

    Can your article please be published in the Forum Palestina website?

    Kind regards,

    Martina, Italy

    Myth--you have that right. You have a mixed people of Oriental (majority Ashkenazim) and Sephardic (minority Semitic)origin claiming a "birthright" left to a different people thousands of years in antiquity. A property claim by "normal" humans of this nature would be laughed out of any court in the civilized world. I'd like to think that reason will prevail--that even many Zionist Jews will, at the last moment, come to their senses. If not them, at least, the rest of the world must realize that it now has to deal with mad Zealots with 400 nuclear weapons, guided missiles, submarines and God knows what else. And what is the goal of these Zealots? A mass killing of ordinary humans--perhaps in the several billions--and the imposition of a world messiah-dictator to rule terrorized slaves with a "rod of iron".

    Yes THEY are afraid indeed!

    "American citizens' support for Israel is shrinking by the hour" - said the American expert in International Law, Dr. Franklin Lamb, yeterday during in a Live comment from PressTv's Beirut broadcating station. And he added (moree or less) the following: "You can almost hear the drumbeat of war as Congress stronly pressures Obama into attacking Iran, because that is the will of the Zionist Lobby: Once Iran is attacked, the world's eyes will turn away from Israel and its crimes."

    That, in a nutshell, summarizes Zionism's way in dealing with the rest of the world.

    Can your article please be published on the Forum Palestina website, following Marco's suggestions?

    Thanks for your article Alan. I am a Muslim and whenever I think about this issue, I look at it this way. If all Arabs in Mecca (or all of Saudi Arabia) convert to some other religion (Hinduism or Christianity), would Muslims from all over the world (Asia, Africa and other parts) have the right, with support from rest of the world, to expel the Saudis from their motherland because as per our religious book that land belongs to Muslims. We can drive them out in the worst possible way and make claim on that land based on what Koran says. It is like asking the entire world to share my religious belief. Claims should be made based on historical facts and not on one's religious believes or prehistoric folk tales.

    Alan,

    I live in NYC and have many Jewish friends who cannot accept that Zionists are not Jews as Zionists do not follow the Laws of the Torah. I first came across this when reading about the Satmar Jews who do not accept the creation of the State of Israel as being legitimate.

    The corruption religions has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

    This sitting President Obama must make it clear that Israel withdraw to it's 1948 borders and make a peace with its neighorin countries. Israel needs water from Lebanon and oil from Iraq; Let them get it the old fashion way and that is to pay for it.

    Thank you for your perseverance.

    Max

    Congratulations : sure, you read the Palestinian Henry Cattan ;-)))

    Not only "rigged" , Mr.Hart

    I apologize but my english is very short and poor; but I read a french translation

    You write :

    “By the narrowest of margins, and only after a rigged vote”,

    "rigged" : yes; but it's not enough; it's too short.

    Seven not free votes :

    1/ Haiti, Liberia (Mr.Firestone), Philippines

    2/ Byelorussian, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ukrainian S.S.R. They must vote like Staline’s orders

    Often man does n’t know that .

    And what about Cardinal Spelman’s travel into South-America and Jerusalem’s statut ? To obtain “good vote”. Then Ben Gourion would not apply this.

    The truth : 26 """free"" votes for 56 countries (because Siam was not present)

    Best regards

    Jean-Marie, 66 y.o

    France

    Free Palestine

    Palestine will win

    Alan Hart is the greatest ally the Jewish people could wish for, and the greatest enemy of Zionism outside of the Jewish people.

    Increasingly Jews are voting with their feet, abandoning the Zionist state and trying, as much as is possible, to spread the word that not only is Zionism separate to Judaism but is - in most cases - completely anti-ethical to Judaism. In fact going by the numbers, a survey says that 10% of Americans identify themselves as Zionists, which works out at about 30 million people or more than double the number of Jews in the world. So even if every Jew was a Zionist, and that is not true, Zionism would still be a majority non-Jewish secular belief.

    Dear mr. Hart,

    You are a brave and highly moral man. Thank you for your efforts. I'm sure many more people would like to thank you but are afraid of the zio-cops wherever they live so they will only say it to themselves. I'm Persian and not religious and I cant ignore this injustice that's the stain on humanity of our time. Hoping that you and MLK are right that the arc of history bends towards justice. Shame on Saudi arabia and other GCC pigs. Long live Palestine, Iran and the American Republic
