Conclusion This concise but thorough Online Documentary Primer on State Terrorism was developed using no fewer than 105 Internet pages as reference materials. In effect, with the inclusion of these web pages as references, there is a virtual cornucopia of information on the hottest issue of the time. Some of the sources listed below represent a number of related web pages which also offer up-to-date information on Israel's terror tactics and other topics. Our mission, as stated in the introduction, has been to present a concise but thorough history of the birth of the "Jewish State." That has been done. We have also offered some insight into the major events leading up to the founding of Zionism, the resultant establishment of a Zionist colony in Palestine, the Zionists' agreement to obstruct an international boycott against Nazi Germany in 1933-34 and their collaboration with the Third Reich during the holocaust, the myths38a, 38b that support their claims to Palestine, the oft repeated lies and half-truths justifying their repressive tactics, the United States' apparent policy to support whatever Israel does to oppress the Palestinians, and why the Palestians in concert with Islamic and other non-Jewish peoples and organizations are defiantly opposed to Israel's continuation as a racist and undemocratic Jewish state. We have also pointed out how the Zionists use the holocaust and European and American traditional anti-Semitism to blackmail, bully, if you will, the United States, France and Germany into supporting Israel come hell or high water. The problem with this tactic is that the Palestinians "do not believe . . . they should forfeit their homeland to compensate Jews for Europe's crimes against them." And they and others are determined not to let that happen. We have gone into some detail on the United States' geopolitical interests in the so-called Middle East. We believe Noam Chomsky's Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel and the Palestinians which gives a much more thorough and insightful analysis of the Palestinian-Israel conflict, should be read in tandem with the other books cited and especially the numerous Internet references. The information the American public should receive is not communicated by the media. Indeed, Americans are reputed to be the most informed people in the world; nevertheless, they are actually the most uninformed. For instance, they are not informed that citizenship in Israel is reserved for Jews only. Gentiles, Arabs and other ethnic groups, i.e., goyims, can enter and live in the country permanently; however, they cannot attain full citizenship. "Today, Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel comprise approximately 19 percent of the total population of the country, numbering close to 900,000. They live predominantly in villages, towns, and mixed cities in the Galilee region in the north, the Triangle area in central Israel, and the Negev desert in the south. They belong to three religious communities: Muslim (76%), Christian (15%), and Druze (9%). . . . Israel never sought to assimilate or integrate its Palestinian citizens, excluding them from public life while practicing systematic discrimination in all fields. Successive Israeli governments maintained tight control over the community, attempting to suppress Palestinian/Arab identity and to divide the community within itself. To that end, Arabs are not defined by the state as a national minority: rather they are referred to as "Israeli Arabs" or by religious affiliation."39 Not having citizenship in Israel presents, as we have seen, a serious problem for non-Jews. There is, however, a more serious problem which is manifested in Israel's response to the Palestinian's projected superior population numbers. Because of this population imbalance, the Israeli leadership has decided to drive them out, turn them into refugees. The status of the refugees is one the hot button issues – the Right of Return – in this conflict between the two nations – one Arab, the other Jewish. The Israelis almost to the man and woman state rather matter-of-factly that to let the refugees return, Israel would cease to be a Jewish state. Dr. Nur Masalha writes in his monograph The Palestinian Refugee Problem: Israeli Plans to Resettle the Palestinian Refugees, 1948-1972, outlines the problem rather forthrightly: . . . The Arab states and the Palestinians have traditionally demanded that the Palestinian refugees be given a free choice between repatriation or compensation. The official Israeli position, on the other hand, has always been that there can be no returning of the refugees to Israeli territories, and that the only solution to the problem was their resettlement in the Arab states or elsewhere. Since 1949 all Israeli governments have consistently refused to discuss any possible return of refugees to the pre-1967 borders. They did not want the refugees back under any condition. They did not want them to return because they needed their lands and their villages for Jewish immigrants. Nor did they want the repatriation of an Arab population that would question the Zionist-Jewish identity of the state and undermine it demographically [emphasis added]. Israel did, however, consider some form of restitution of refugee property in lieu of repatriation.This statement – "the 'right of return' is an unacceptable maximalist position that “would wipe out the national character of the state of Israel” – confirms what we have stressed though out this documentary primer. When the Zionists first colonized portions of Palestine in 1917, the idea was to render this land "goyim rein." At the close of the 1948 war, and indeed before, native Palestinians were literally forced to flee for their lives (see Related Internet References #32 for maps illustrating where the refugees fled to). And once gone, their homes, businesses, farms and property were confiscated. This plan to drive the Palestinians out also applies to Gaza and the West Bank. This is why Netanyahu and Sharon are intent on speedily building more settlements in these territories and  further
"bantustanize" the West Bank. There will then be no "reasonable and
fair
solution"! When a thief is caught, immediate restitution is the only "JUST"
solution. Shim'on Peres, a former Israeli prime minister, is a member
of
the Labor Party, which is the party of Israel's liberals, the party of
Ehud Barak and Yitzhak Rabin. Bibi Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon are
members
of the Likud, Israel’s major conservative
party. But like the Republican and Democratic Parties here in the
United
States, when it comes down to the vital interests of the nation, all
party
differences vanish. Since 1973, the Likud has
either
been the ruling party in the Knesset or the leading opposition party.
Likud’s
leaders Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir and Benyamin Netanyahu have all
served as prime minister. It would be a serious mistake, however, were
we to accept Peres as an Israeli politician who can be "trusted."
Wasn't
he linked to Ariel Sharon when Sharon invaded Lebanon and massacred the
Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila? Isn't he the leader of the
Labor
Party that initiated the oppressive regulations? Aren't they two
terrorist
birds of a feather? Won't Peres take the Palestinians to the brink of a
"land for peace" negotiation, just like Barak did, and then break it
off
in order to preserve a Zionist principle: "All of Greater Palestine
is Our Promised Land."41
Anwar Sadat (1971), King Fahd (1981), the Syrians (1982) and Yasir Arafat (1982) offered to accommodate their political and territorial objectives to include the recognition of Israel's right to exist. Indeed, in 1981 the Saudis proposed a peace plan that "called for a two state settlement on the 1967 borders, with recognition of the right for all states in the region to exist in peace" (Chomsky, op. cit., p. 75). lf we are not mistaken, this proposal is exactly similar to their 2002 offer. Israel and the United States rejected the plan out of hand as if it were a "trick," a threat to their driving concept of a "Greater Israel" on the one hand, and the continuation of U.S. domination of the region on the other. All signs point to the Israeli and United States rejection of this "new" Saudi plan as well. The only way out of this impasse for the Palestinians and the Arab World in general is to pursue their objectives forcefully. Unfortunately and, perhaps, irrationally, they may have to forego any temptation to eschew a resort to violence be it with martyrs (shahids), car bombs or well conceived stealth attacks on IDF roadblocks and cabinet ministers. This may be the only way to make a dent when an entire people are deprived of a secure future – economic, political, social, or psychological. In African American Folklore, the old folks used to relate a parable to young people and their elders as well. It went like this: Not too long ago in African America, there was a farmer who needed a mule to plough his fields. The mule he used to use was old, worn out and just refused to plough any more. So the farmer went to see his neighbor who lived down the road a ways. The neighbor, he had heard, had a mule for sale. The neighbor agreed to sell the farmer his mule for a reasonable price. However, before the farmer paid for the mule, he asked his neighbor, "Is this mule good at ploughing large fields?" The neighbor assured, "Of course, that's what I used him for!" So the farmer hustled back to his place, hitched up the new mule, and said: "Ghee! Ghee!" The mule didn't respond. So he said again, "Ghee! Ghee!" Again there was no response. Thinking he had been cheated, he unhitched the mule, and lead it with some difficulty back to his neighbor and complained that the mule wouldn't plough as he was told. Hearing this, the neighbor ran into his barn and returned with an axe handle. He approached the mule, took a great swing, and struck the mule in the front center of its head. To the surprise of the farmer, the mule raced back to his farm, hitched itself up, ploughed not only the farmer's fields, but also those of a man who lived next door. When the farmer saw his neighbor again, he thanked him for the mule. Straight away the neighbor apologized for not telling the farmer about the mule earlier: "You see," he said, "To get this mule to plough, you first have to get its attention!"This is what is advised in dealing with the Zionists and their international supporters. GET THEIR ATTENTION BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY FIRST! The Palestinian martyrs have done just that it appears. The Israeli's feelings of security are now on edge. Unfortunately, Palestinian youth have taken the lead by sacrificing themselves. This is a tragic consequence, indeed, but given the circumstances, understandable. Where are their elders, the Palestinian and extended Arab leadership? Where are the United Nations? Whatever, one thing is objectively clear, these youths have gotten the Israelis' and the world's attention. The 416 (some say 1,000) Israeli IDF (Israeli Defense Force) refuseniks are categorical evidence that the justifiable Palestinian resistance message is getting through.42a, 42b, 43 More evidence of having done so can also be detected from the frustration Ariel Sharon is undoubtedly showing with his resort to unbridled force and violence. Moreover, his violent actions have or will eventually force an embarrassed response from his supporters in Israel and elsewhere. Testimony to this inevitable likelihood is found in the Tikkun Community made up of American Jews who represent "the liberal alternative to the voices of Jewish conservatism and spiritual deadness in the Jewish world." The Jews and others in Tikkun are supporters of Israel, but are deeply distressed by the unethical actions of current Israeli leadership, specifically Ariel Sharon. Already, as alluded to above, anti-Israel protests have increased in the United States, England, France, and Germany. Indeed, protests are heard all around the world. Some have proposed that the Palestinians use non-violent methods to get Sharon's, the Knesset's, the United States' and the general Israeli population's attention. Whatever method works, these Jewish terrorists, along with their supporters in the U.S. government, are human rights violators and war criminals. The Israeli's brutish deprivation of an oppressed people can be tolerated no longer.44 To define this oppression as a war crime under the provisions of Article 85 of the Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, it must include the following attributes:
John B. Anderson, member of Congress (R) between 1960 and 1980, comments in "Lonesome Cowboy," The Nation (April 28, 2002) on George W. Bush's refusal on April 11 to submit to the Senate for ratification the Treaty of Rome that establishes an International Criminal Court. This treaty, according to Anderson, has been signed since July 17, 1998 "by our closest allies, including every NATO country but Turkey and all members of the European Union. . . . Unilaterally focused on the domestically popular war on terrorism, the Administration had averted its eyes from the pustulating Israel-Palestine sore. As a result, . . . Bush overplayed the 'anti-terrorist card,' not only greatly broadening "the scope of needed response" but giving "governments around the planet a green light to increase the level of violence directed at their longtime internal adversaries.' None ran with that ball harder than Israel's Ariel Sharon." This is what Bush's tangled foreign policy has wrought in Southeast Asia and the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. The portent is U.S. foreign policy will do likewise in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Columbia, in the Philippines, and in Yemen. The Report on Sabra and Shatila on Sabra and Shatila is found on this Web site: http://www.caabu.org/press/documents/kahan-commission-contents.html "Many Americans are questioning their government's unconditional support of and military aid to Israel. Many are speaking out in favor of the growing international campaign against impunity for war crimes. Unless the US government heeds increasing calls to enforce and implement international law fairly, more deaths of Israelis, Palestinians and even Americans are likely to result." NEXT
