Manipulating the World to Destruction
The Middle East crisis has
reached a decisive point. From the entry of a relatively few Zionists
to Palestine, the trajectory of the crisis has monotonically pursued a
direction toward complete Zionist control of former Palestinian lands
and complete disruption of Palestinian life. A startled world wonders
how this happened, while neglecting the social and psychological
manipulations that preceded each stage of the Zionists’ forward
movement. Unaware of this strategy of conditioning, the world fails to
apply necessary countermeasures and halt a more far reaching
conflagration.
Manipulating a world to enhance a nation’s interests
is not unique, and especially easy for a country that is a global
economic and military power. Citizens relish the strength that gives
them respect and advantages, refuse to regard the harm done to others
and are blinded to the eventual retribution. Napoleon and Queen Victoria
convinced their own and colonial subjects, for a while, that their
armies, navies and administrations brought civilization and prosperity
to subdued peoples. Nazi Germany had approval of its nationals and many
peoples from other nations as its Panzers swept across a Europe that
Hitler posed as one to which Germany would bring stability, peace and
cleared of what he defined as the “scourge of liberalism.” The United
States spread its influence with slogans of bringing freedom and
democracy until injured peoples surveyed their dead and wounded and
realized these were dubious phrases.
An expanding Israel is unique. Although not starting
as a global economic and military power, Israel has advanced its
frontiers with its own manipulations - convincing a part of the world
that its development has been defensive, a reaction to events, and
honestly implemented. Can we trust the words of a nation that, for
whatever reason, occupies other people’s lands, has forced out the
native peoples, committed a myriad of proven atrocities, changes daily
the landmarks and artifacts of history to suit its agenda, and has
maintained generations of Palestinians in oppressive and captive
conditions?
The manipulated scenario describes dispersed Jews
seeking a national home, obtaining it after fleeing the World War II
Holocaust and arriving in the land of their ancestors, which, as Israeli
education teaches students, was given to them by a vote from the United
Nations. Because of consistent attacks upon the Yishuv, the Jewish
residents in Palestine and their Israeli descendants were forced to
defend themselves. Conflicts caused turmoil, and a major part of the
Arab population of Palestine became displaced. Continuous wars, forced
upon Israel by adjacent Arab nations, pushed development of a strong
military whose decisive victories captured territory for defensive
purposes. For security reasons, Israel expanded its boundaries and
placed immigrants in strategic locations in the West Bank. Roads and a
security wall, which happened to cut through Palestinian lands, became
necessary in order to prevent terrorists from entering the homeland.
Security measures demanded absolute control of Palestinian movements.
Unfortunately, a poorly directed and recalcitrant Palestinian community
has been responsible for its decline and egregious fate.
Facts create a contradictory scenario, which will
have its detractors. However, any refutation should argue with the facts
and not the overall scenario.
History contradicts the portrayal of Zionism as a
mass movement by the Jewish people. The Zionist message prompted nations
to question the loyalty of their Jewish citizens, served to impede
their advances, and reinforced a race-baiting theory that Jews engaged
in international conspiracies. Proof is shown by the Russian Jews, who
had major problems and did not consider Zionism as a relief for their
difficulties. Between 1881 and 1914, 2.5 million Jews migrated from
Russia - 1.7 million to America, 500,000 to Western Europe, almost
300,000 to other nations, and only 30,000 - 50,000 to Palestine (ED:
15,000 returned to Russia). Plans for establishing a nation on
Palestinian lands occurred long before World War II, and therefore the
World War II Holocaust had no relation to the Zionist concept for the
creation of a state. The settlers, of whom only 180,000 came from
refugee camps, arrived in Palestine with no more verified connection
with the ancient Hebrews than many other ethnicities. Known to
archaeology and accepted history (not Biblical history) as mainly
wandering tribes that established themselves in hilltop areas of Canaan,
the Hebrews never formed a vibrant civilization or a unified nation of
extensive administered territory. Not only is it unproven that the land
to which European Zionists returned was a land of their forefathers, but
the claim is supercilious – in a world of democratic law, legal
qualifications, not self-proclaimed and spurious identifications that
span thousands of years, determine land ownership, and the Zionists had
no legal claims, while Palestinian people had occupied and tilled the
area for generations.
Identification of Hebrews as Jews happened
principally during the during the fifth century B.C., after Hebrews
returned from exile in Persia with a more complete vision of
monotheistic Judaism, and later in Mesopotamia during the fifth century
A.D., where the center of Rabbinical Judaism composed the main body of
Jewish law, the Babylonian (not the Jerusalem)Talmud. More
