| The “De-Zionization” of Israel: Drying up Ideological Wellsprings of Arab – Israeli Conflict!

The “De-Zionization” of Israel: Drying up Ideological Wellsprings of Arab – Israeli Conflict ~ Nicola Nasser, Global Research.

Gradually, awareness That de-Zionization of the U.S. and European foreign policy as well as the internal policies of the State of Israel HAS Become a prerequisite for peace in the Middle East is Steadily taking roots in Israeli and world public opinion and consciousness.

HOWEVER this awareness HAS yet to wait for drying up the Zionist Ideological wellsprings of the Arab – Israeli conflict and translating it into real politics by de-Zionization of Israel and Western foreign policy disengaging from icts Ideological attachment to Zionism.

In His Article published by Foreign Policy on October 25 last, James Traub quoted U.S. President Barack Obama in a speech last May, ” Announcing a reformulation of the war on terror, “as saying:” We cannot use strength everywhere That a radical ideology takes root, “the only alternative to” perpetual war “is a sustained endeavor to Reduce” the wellsprings of extremism. “

The “wellsprings” of “perpetual wars” and “extremism” in the Middle East falling on MOST of the past twentieth century up to now Could Easily be detected in the unholy combination of real politics and the “radical ideology” of the secular – turned – religious Zionism.

This combination made it possible, and seemingly ethical for Americans and Europeans to accept and justify the unethical displacement of the indigenous Arab people of Palestine to be mittal by a multi-national artificial gathering of Jews Have you Suffered oppression, anti – Semitism, pogroms and holocaust in Their western home countries.

U.S. and European Continued attachment to the Zionist ideology lies at the heart of Their treatment of Israel, the offspring of this ideology, as one of Their top “vital interests” in the Middle East, All which is an attachment That in turn lies at the heart of anti-Americanism and other forms of Arab conflicts with the “west.”

The safe haven of the “new world” in America was a Timely and practical solution for Europeans to get rid of and solve Their “Jewish Question,” it now Absorbs more Jews than Israel does.

The communists offert Their own solution, it materialized in the Jewish autonomous “Oblast” first ever republic in the Russian Birobidzhan, close to the border of the form Soviet Union with China, All which was home to some three million Jews before some one third of Them immigrated to Israel Following the collapse of the communist empire.

The nation states basing citizenship on the rule of law is now the rule of the day in Europe, Where Jews enjoy full constitutional religious, civil, political and all the other rights enjoyed by Their compatriots.

There is no more a “Jewish Question” in Europe in Particular gold in the west in general. Such a question if there still Persists it is one related to the disproportionation of Jewish Citizens impact on the decision makers in the political, financial and media arenas.

Nonetheless, the Zionist propaganda in Israel and abroad is still fervently inciting That Jews are an endangered species outside Israel, soliciting Jewish immigration, dual citizenship and binational Encouraging loyalty and Among Them Considering all Jews outside Israel as “Refugees.”

Writing in the http://www.huffingtonpost.com on September 6 last year, Hanan Ashrawi, a Palestinian leader and parliamentarian Elected, quoted Shlomo Hillel, a government minister and an active Zionist from Iraq, as saying, “I do not regard the departure of Jews from Arab lands as That of Refugees. They came here Because They wanted to, as Zionists “and quoted Former Knesset member Ran Cohen, Have you immigrated from Iraq, as saying:” I have to say: I am not a refugee. I came at the behest of Zionism. “

Consequently, the “Jewish Question” Moved ironically to the very Arab safe haven to All which the oppressed European Jews Fled With Their lives to survive the inquisition of Culture in Medieval Europe. Among the large largest Jewish minority Arabs in Morocco nowadays tells the story.

This Arab safe haven was turned by the Zionist ideology into a hell of wars, instability, conflict and Ongoing home of a revived “Jewish Question” since Israel was artificially created 65 years ago in the heart of the Arab world, Where Jews Previously used to be a prosperous minority in every one of the capitals of the 22 Arab states except Jordan.

Zionism justified the establishment of Israel in Palestine by controversial two basic arguments: That God promised the land to Jews no matter what Would Happen to icts Arab Inhabitants Have you was there long before Joshua and his army crossed Jordan River to Jericho destroy and kill every man, woman, child and animal by “God’s command.”

On November 2, 1917, then British Foreign Secretary, Lord Balfour, ACTED as the self – appointed messenger of God’s will to end a modern God’s promise to Jews to Have a “homeland” in Palestine.

The modern justification of the Holocaust Does not care That Reviews another people derived, namely Arab Palestinians, pay the price for a crime They Did not commit.

Ironic but informative as well is the fact That Zionism was not originally a Jewish product.

According to t he author of “Christian Zionism: Road-map to Armageddon?” (InterVarsity Press, 2004) Revd. Dr. Stephen Sizer, writing in the Middle East Monitor on August 1 last, ” The origins of the movement can be traced to the early 19th century When a group of eccentric British Christian leaders Began to lobby for Jewish restoration to Palestine as a precondition Necessary for the return of Christ … Christian Zionism Jewish Zionism therefore Preceded by more than 50 years. Some of Theodore Herzl’s Strongest advocates Were Christian clergy. ” Dr. Sizer headlined His article, “Christian Zionism: The Heresy That Undermines Middle East Peace.”

He, together with the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem: The Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, Archbishop Swerios Malki Mourad of the Syrian Orthodox, the Episcopal Church Bishop Riah Abu El-Assal and the Evangelical Lutheran Church Bishop Munib Younan Issued in 2006 and signed the Jerusalem Declaration on Christian Zionism, All which Concluded: “We categorically reject Christian Zionist doctrines as a false teaching That corrupts the biblical messages of love, justice and reconciliation.”

The Zionist narrative was challenged by Israel ‘s Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe “New Historians.”‘, Avi Shlaim, Tom Segev, Hillel Cohen, Baruch Kimmerling and others Have Already reconsidered and created a post – Zionists’ awareness. Pappe ‘Concluded That The Zionist leaders Planned and Executed “ethnic cleansing” to displace MOST of the Arab Palestinians.

Shlomo Sand’s trilogy – “The Invention of the Jewish People,” “The Invention of the Land of Israel” and his upcoming third volume of “The Invention of the Secular Jew” – hard hits at the very foundations of Zionism.

The fact That the secular Zionism was not popular Among the religious world Jewry in the early stages of the movement and That It is an ideology still Opposed by a strong Jewish minority is a fact Zionists are keen to smokescreen.

“The UN avenue” in Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv was renamed “The Zionism Avenue” in response to the adoption by the United Nations  General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution of 3379 on November 10, 1975 All which Determined That ” Zionism  is a form of  racism  and racial discrimination, “it was Revoked by the UNGA resolution 46/86 in 1991 The ongoing Israeli Zionist ideology and practices render its repeal a premature step That should be reconsidering reinstating it.

The world community as Represented by the United Nations, by Resolution 181 of 1947 Adopting dividing Palestine betweens icts indigenous Arab Palestinians and the invading aliens of the Zionist settlers played in the hands of Christian and Jewish Zionism to commit an historical mistake That doomed peace in the Middle East as an elusive Humanitarian hope for a long time to come.

Jews Were an integral portion of the area’s history and social fabric up to this fact Zionism cut short.Only the prerequisite of de-Zionization of Israel and world politics Will Make That Would peace a dream come true in the area and restore history to normal icts race in it. The Crusaders’ interruption of the regional history is an informative precedent from All Those pertaining concerned Could All which draw lessons.
