Zionism

Zionism is a political movement that was originated in the middle of the 19th century to establish --A-- homeland for Jews. Theodore Herzel was the main leader and originator of the Zionist movement. Jews were influenced by many factors that led them to create this movement. One factor was the rising spirit of nationalism in Europe during that era, and the anti Jewish sentiment among Europeans. In that context, Jews were split. One stream advocated communism as a solution for the world’s problems by creating the International Proletariat Dictatorship. This clique was composed of Marxism. Later, Lenin (also a Jew) came to revive the failure of the Marxist theory by his book Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism. While fighting nationalism by theory, communism and Lenin in particular, was defending the Jewish Nationalism. The second group was led by secular Jews who established the controversial Protocol of The Elder of Zion; a concept aiming to dominate the entire world. The third group was composed of secular and Orthodox Jewish Zionists, who  conferred in Basil, Switzerland for the first time in 1897, and declared their intention of establishing --A-- homeland for Jews. In the second Zionist Conference, Zionists were split. One group led by Ben Gurion and Jabotinsky advocated a homeland in Uganda, Africa. The other group led by Orthodox Rabbis insisted on Palestine as a homeland. Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Israeli prime minister, stated in his book 'A Place Among The Nations, p.13' that "Jabotinsky and Ben Gurion were in favor of Uganda as a tactic, and only a minor part of Zionism ever thought of Palestine as a permanent homeland for Jews, if they; as a religious group; needed one."

Zionists intensified their efforts to have Jews come to Palestine. And they were successful to a great extent, with thousands of Jews immigrating to Palestine. Two main underground groups; the Haganah and Aragon; committed several massacres against Palestinians (prior to 1948) to force them to leave Palestine. Yitzhak Shamir, also a former Israeli prime minister, is on the top of the Most Wanted by the British Intelligence Service as a dangerous terrorist whose men massacred scores of British officials at King David Hotel in Jerusalem.

After occupying the entire Palestinian land, Zionists resorted to all measures to force people out, those measures still continue to the present time, whether it was  physical, economical, psychological or even murder. Massacring Palestinians was not limited to those in the West Bank and Gaza; During its invasion of Lebanon in 1982, Zionist agents committed one of the most horrible massacre in the history of humanity, the Sabra & Shatilla Massacre. In an official report under the pressure of human activists, the Kahan Commission, named after the High Supreme Court judge Kahan; implicated the murderer Defense Minister Ariel Sharon in the massacres, who later resigned under pressure, only to come back again in the Netanyahu government.

A LAND WITHOUT PEOPLE is the Zionist dream. They want Palestine but without Arabs. In June of 1987, and few months before the Palestinian uprising, the Palestinian local leadership requested that the Zionist state annex the occupied territories (West bank and Gaza) and impose the Israeli civil laws on the people living there, but they declined. If the Zionists believe that the territories or what they call Judea and Samaria are Jewish, and that it is  Gods given land, then why did not they annex these territories like they did to Jerusalem? Why did they maintain the territories with fragments of British and Jordanian laws as well as hundreds of military orders to run peoples lives? Why -among other things- do they still use the civil administrative laws; the very same laws that Hitler used to prosecute Jews? Where on earth does the Military Governor have the right to manipulate the policies of admissions, curriculum, and the hiring of staff in Palestinian education institutions?

The Zionist, lurking behind verses of the Torah, keep saying that Palestine is their God’s given land. And for that, these issues need to be addressed:

First, in many verses of the Torah, God promised the Israelites -which is a race, not a religion- all the land from the Euphrates river in Iraq to the Nile river in Egypt. But, this land was promised to the seeds of Abraham whose one of his sons -Ismael- delivered the Arab race. What gives a person, any person who converts to Judaism, the right to come to Palestine, confiscate a Palestinian house or property, displace a family, and establish his or her own house in place?

Second, when confronted with this argument, the Zionists quote another verse of the Torah; "Judea and Samaria were promised to the Israelites". If this is true, and if the present Zionists are of a genuine, pure Israelite race, then Israel is a false fulfillment of the Torah, for the verse they quote indicate that the promised land does not include the coastal strip of Palestine. which means that Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa, Ashdod, and all the rest of the coastal cities are not part of the promised land.  Therefore, it can be concluded that, under the best circumstances, only "Judea and Samaria" make their promised land.

Based on the above analysis it can be concluded that the Zionist Movement is a pure colonial movement that USED Judaism to serve its purposes. Zionism is not a representation of Judaism or a fulfillment of a Judicial prophecy, for Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together peacefully in Palestine and other places for generations. Since 1918, Many of Orthodox Jews fought side by side with their Muslim and Christian Palestinians the Zionist invaders.  

Palestinians in particular, and Muslims in general, are never against peace, they are compelled to accept peace when the enemy asks for it. But the actions and statements of Zionist Israeli officials reveal that they are dodging peace. For real peace cannot and will not be gained without properly addressing the livelihood of the Palestinians in Palestine.
