Intifada

Israel , the great democracy of the MiddleEast

We must expel Arabs and take their places. We must use terror,
assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all
social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”, David Ben
Gurion,  Ben Gurion and Israel  the Palestinian Arabs, Oxford
University Press, 1985.

The ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israel was not an unintended
consequence, or fortuitous occurrence, or even a “miracle,” as
Israel’s first president Chaim Weitzmann later proclaimed; it  was the
result of long and meticulous planning.”, Illan Pappe, Professor of
Political Science  at Haifa University, in his recent book  “The
Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine .”

There is no doubt that Israel was born in sin, the sin of mass-
murdering Palestinians, destroying their homes, bulldozing their
villages, stealing their land and  expelling them to the four corners
of the world. Denying this cardinal reality goes beyond the pale of
human discourse and common sense.

Israel actually not only is denying the outrage, but has been using a
huge propaganda machine extending from Sydney to Los Angeles, to
cover, blur and justify its ongoing ethnic cleansing of the remaining
Palestinians.

Thus, Israel can be viewed, without a bit of exaggeration, as an
illegitimate child of terror, genocide, rape and ethnic cleansing. The
way it came into existence was an act of rape, it continues to be an
act of rape and will always be an act of rape.

This is why one is really affronted by the shameless Israeli demands
that the victims of Zionism recognize Israel’s right to exist, as if
all the massacres and ethnic cleansing perpetrated against the
Palestinians by the children and grand children of the holocaust were
commendable acts of charity.

Deir Yasin will always be a stigma of ignominy on the forehead of
Zionism, especially the racist ethnic East European Ashkenazi
supremacists.

It represented the brutal ugliness of their mentality and underscored
the fact that Zionists, as Harry Truman said back in 1948, are like
all underdogs, when they get on the top, they become as savage and
brutal to their victims as their former oppressors were to them when
they were underneath.

What happened?

On April 9, a combined force of Irgun and the Stern Jewish Gang
supported by the Palmach forces captured the peaceable Palestinian
village of Deir  Yasin near Jerusalem .  The Gestapo-like terrorists,
commandeered by the certified Jewish war criminal and later Prime
Minister of Israel, Menachem Begin, brutally murdered dozens of
unarmed and unprotected civilians, including countless women and
children. The exact number of the victims is not certain, but most
estimates put the number between 100-250.

Older men and young women were paraded in chains in the Jewish Quarter
of Jerusalem; 25 of the captives were then brutally murdered in cold
blood at a quarry in the nearby Jewish colony of Giva’at Shaul.

The “History of the Hagana, “ as quoted by Walid  Khalidi’s “All That
Remains: The Palestinian villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel
in 1948)   mentioned that at dawn on 9 April 1948, 120 men (80 from
IZL and 40 and from LEHI) began an assault on the village and “carried
out a massacre without discriminating among men, women, children and
old people.

They had fallen into their hands onto cars and parading them in the
streets of Jerusalem in a ‘victory convoy’ amidst the cheers of the
Jewish masses. After that, these ‘prisoners’ were returned to the
village and killed. The victims included men, women and children, a
total of 245 people.” (All That Remains, page 291)

Survivors testified that the attackers slaughtered children, opened up
the bellies of pregnant women with their bayonets and even played
“football” with the decapitated heads of their victims.

Following the massacre, fifty-three orphaned children were literally
dumped along the wall of the Old City, where they were found by Miss
Hind al Husseini and brought behind the American Colony Hotel to here
home, which was to become the Dar El-Tifl El-Arabi Orphanage.

Deir Yasin lay outside of the area assigned by the UN to the Jewish
state; it had had a peaceful reputation. However, the fact that it was
located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem,
it was coveted for occupation by the Zionist leadership under Plan
Dalet.

Indeed, the main Jewish Defense Force under the command of Ben Gurion
had authorized the irregular terrorist groups of the Irgun led by
Begin and Stern Gang led by another certified Jewish war criminal,
Yitzhak Shamir  who too later became  Prime Minister, to carry out the
takeover.

The main and probably only aim of the massacre was to terrorize the
native Palestinian inhabitants, who at that time, made up the vast
majority of Palestine’s population into leaving.

Indeed, the massacre carried the following message to the unprotected
Palestinian villagers, that either you leave, or you will meet the
same fate like that of Deir Yasin.

The Israeli plan, augmented by dozens of massacres, many of which were
greater in scope than Deir Yasin’s, did succeed as 750,000-800,000
Palestinians were forced to leave, fearing genocide.

The Israeli leadership sought to distant itself from the massacre,
claiming that it happened without its knowledge.

However, it was crystal clear, as several Israeli Jewish historians
stressed, that these massacres were part and parcel of a deliberate
and well-devised Israeli plan to ethnically cleanse the bulk of
Palestinian Arabs from their ancestral homeland. (see for example:
Illan Pappe’s “the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.” Published in 2007)

Same mentality

In fact, it is amply safe to say that the Zio-Nazi mentality that
planned and executed the Deir Yasin massacre and numerous other
genocidal atrocities against the Palestinians in 1948 is still intact.

Today, and despite all the babbling about peace by Zionist leaders,
ethnic cleansing of Palestinians remains Israel’s undeclared strategy.

One could safely argue that the current Israeli government and Knesset
include a majority of ministers and lawmakers who advocate one form or
the other of “transfer.” And for those who don’t know, transfer is
nothing less than a euphemism for “genocide,” at least a partial
genocide.

Even the Israeli Jewish public, which has been steadily and menacingly
drifting to right-wing religious-Talmudic chauvinism, is
enthusiastically favoring the idea of adopting policies and taking
actions that would “encourage” Israel’s  non-Jewish citizens to
immigrate.

Jewish apologists might argue that Israel, unlike Nazi Germany, is a
democracy and that it is inconceivable that Israel would become a kind
of a Jewish Third Reich.

But this argument is superficial and misleading. Hitler himself came
to power more or less democratically, and the vast bulk of Germans,
supported him enthusiastically just as the vast bulk of Jews are
backing the systematic policies of apartheid and repression against
Palestinians.

Besides, as the various German security organs were dominated by the
“Nazis,” the Israeli army today is more or less dominated by Talmudic-
minded religious Zionists who view non-Jews as virtual animals, whose
lives are worthless.

Hence, Deir Yasin would be a minor incident compared to what the
present Israeli-Zionist mindset is capable of doing if Israel is
allowed to continue on the path of racism and ethnic cleansing.
