Let’s hand it to Martin
Van Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, for speaking the mind of nearly half of all Israelis. “The
Palestinians should all be deported,” declared Van Creveld in 2003. “The
people who strive for this (the Israeli government) are waiting only for the
right man and the right time. Two years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis
were of the opinion that this would be the best solution, two months ago it
was 33 per cent, and now, according to a Gallup poll, the figure is 44 percent.”
Actually, according to Haaretz
and the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, “46 percent of Israel’s
Jewish citizens favor transferring Palestinians out of the territories, while
31 percent favor transferring Israeli Arabs out of the country…. In 1991,
38 percent of Israel’s Jewish population was in favor of transferring
the Palestinians out of the territories [i.e., militarily occupied land] while
24 percent supported transferring Israeli Arabs,” or rather ethnically
cleansing them. Such a “final solution” to the fact millions of Arabs live in Palestine—and
have for centuries—would be a serious violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions
and 1977 Additional Protocols, not that Israel believes in humanitarian law
when it comes to Arabs and Muslims. “Israeli-Arabs pose a threat to Israel’s
security, according to 61 percent of the Jewish population, while around 80
percent are opposed to Israeli-Arabs being involved in important decisions,
such as delineating the country’s borders, up from 75 percent last year
and 67 percent in 2000,” Haaretz continues. In other words, a large majority
of Israelis believe Arabs should suffer in perpetuity as second class citizens,
mere “hew’ers of wood’ and draw’ers of wa’ter,”
as described in the Old Testament (Josh. 9:21). Moreover, Van Crevel boasted “Israel had the capability of hitting most
European capitals with nuclear weapons,” a remark especially pertinent
now, as the Israelis and Americans claim Iran will do likewise the moment it
develops a nuke. “We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets
and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most
European capitals are targets of our air force.” Iran has never made such
a remark (or threat) and yet we are told the country is a threat to world peace.
“Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother,” Van Crevel
explained. “Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world,
but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down
with us. And I can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under.” Of course, Israel really has no intention of “hitting most European capitals
with nuclear weapons,” as this would be counterproductive to its real
agenda—using its nukes and conventional military (lavished with U.S. tax-payer
money) to dominate the Muslim and Arab Middle East. “Abdul Sattar Qassem,
a professor of political science and former candidate for President in the Palestinian
Authority, said Israel wanted all Arabs and Muslims in this region to remain
in a ‘perpetual state of strategic and military inferiority….This
means they can invade, attack and occupy any rampage through any Arab or Muslim
country in this region with impunity,’ he said while speaking during a
symposium in Dura Tuesday, marking the 58th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba,
the forced usurpation of Palestine by Zionist Jews,” the Islamic
Republic News Agency reports. According to Qassem, it is “imperative
that Muslim states seek to create military and strategic parity with Israel”
in order “to prevent Israel from annihilating millions of Muslims….
Just imagine if some crazy Jewish fundamentalists take power in Israel, would
it be far-fetched to imagine the possibility that these racists would seek to
attack neighboring states with nuclear bombs in order to fulfill their messianic
aspirations.” In order to preserve its illegal stockpile of nukes—and thus its trump
card against all Muslims in the Middle East—Israel and its collaborators
in the corporate media here in America (and Europe) have distorted the words
of Iran’s leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In order to assure Iran will be
unable to protect itself, Ahmadinejad is now being portrayed as Hitler, as Saddam
Hussein was before him. Iran will be shock and awed before it can produce one
single nuclear bomb. Iran, not unlike like Iraq, will be broken down into mutually
antangonistic bantustans. Our problem is Israel, not Iran. I fear Israel and its 46 percent of
ethnic cleansing and Islam hating fanatics—who are essentially racists,
no different than troglodytic members of the KKK or the millions of deluded
Germans who believed the racial theories of the Nazi Alfred Rosenberg. I am
more worried about our bought and sold Congress—almost all prostituted
down to the man and woman—on the AIPAC food chain and the neocon leash.
I fear the rabid Van Crevel and his fellow citizens more than I fear Ahmadinejad
and the Iranian mullahs. Rosenberg, at least, suffered the noose as a war criminal at Nuremberg. |
