past, present and future
“The moral choice turns out to be the
most pragmatic.”
Andrey Sakharov
From
the very first day of the formation of the State of Israel, its politicians
were clearly guided by the words of Ben Gurion “it doesn’t matter what the
goyim say, it’s important what the Jews do” and all their activities
pursued one goal - to deprive the Palestinian people of their state. From the very first day of the
official appearance of the state, the process of expulsion of Palestinians
began, including from such large cities as Jaffa and Acre, which were supposed
to be part of the Arab state. Millions of Palestinian refugees appeared. Israel motivated the occupation of the
territory intended for a Palestinian state by the fact that it has, firstly, a
historical right to the entire territory of Palestine, and secondly, a myth
about the mental inferiority of the Palestinians and their inability to create
a normal state. (1) In this regard, the Palestinian the people need control and
it is best to implement this on a reservation, fencing the Palestinians with a
concrete wall and barbed wire, which for some reason causes them to frenzied
resistance, accompanied by terrorist attacks and the launch of homemade
primitive missiles at peaceful Israeli cities.
The
Palestinians, who initially did not have the opportunity to create an army,
resist with all the methods available to them, characteristic of guerrillas or
terrorists, which in principle is the same thing, because the difference
between guerrillas and terrorists is the same as between intelligence officers
and spies. By the way, it is appropriate to note that Jews were also involved
in terrorism during the British Mandate, among whom the future Prime Minister
of Israel Yitzhak Shamir was listed as terrorists by the British authorities.
The most significant terrorist attacks were the bombing of the King David
Hotel, which killed 91 people, and the public execution of two British
officers. The terrorist Jewish organization Lehi (Israel Freedom Fighters) is
responsible for the murder of UN representative Count F. Bernadotte, as well as
for a very unsightly and immoral fact, namely the appeal in 1940 to the
fascists of Germany and Italy with a proposal to jointly fight against Great
Britain . The Lehi military movement later became the Israel Defense Forces.
Who knows, maybe Hamas militants will form the basis of the Palestine Defense
Army, and Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh or Yahya Sinwar will become the leaders
of the Palestinian state. The difference between freedom fighters and
terrorists is only in the definition, but not in their methods of fighting.
Having such a powerful ally as the United States behind it, Israel was getting closer to its goal, and the so-called Peace Process, launched in 1991 at the Madrid Peace Conference (2), on which the Palestinians had high hopes, dragged on for a long time to no avail and was buried with murder in 1995 by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at the hands of a Jewish terrorist (3), and to be honest, with the tacit support of the Israeli public, who considered Rabin a traitor for wanting peace for his people, peace without which Israel has no future.(4)
Israel's
subsequent rejection of the Saudi peace initiative, which was based on the
principle of “two states for two peoples,” was the reason for radicalization in
the Palestinian environment and the rise to power of Hamas, whose leaders see
liberation from apartheid, and quite reasonably, in armed struggle, because No
other options, as reality shows, work. From a moral point of view, Hamas is
fighting the occupier for the freedom of the Palestinian people; moreover,
Hamas’s goal is to implement General Assembly resolution No. 181 of November
29, 1947 on the creation of two states in Palestine - Jewish and Arab, a
resolution that has only been half fulfilled. Palestinians have no choice but
to achieve freedom through war. Without an army, they are forced to wage a
guerrilla war, which, like any war, is accompanied by terror, the victims of
which are mainly the civilian population and confirmation of this is the
Israeli war in Gaza, which is an integral part of the state of Palestine
according to the map of the same UN resolution No. 181:
As a result of annexation and the ongoing
seizure of land for the construction of Jewish settlements, crumbs remained of
the territory of Palestine, and the territory of the Gaza Strip shrank five
times from its original size, which is why it became one of the most densely
populated areas in the World.
What
is happening clearly illustrates an indisputable fact that confirms Israel’s
political goal to deprive the Palestinian people of their land or, in other
words, to send both the Palestinian people and the country called Palestine
into oblivion. In this sense, the frank calls of the participants in the debate
on the Israeli Russian-language TV channel 9 to expel the Palestinians from
Gaza are very indicative. It must be said that Russian repatriates, unlike
native Israelis, are unique in their excessive aggressiveness towards Arabs and
not only Palestinians. Thus, the popular leader of Russian aliyah, Knesset member
A. Lieberman, at the dawn of his political activity, longed for a large-scale
war with the Arab world, and first proposed blowing up the Aswan Dam. In the
article “Baggage from the Empire, or why we are right-wing here,” I wrote: “Russian”
aliya is represented mainly by the intelligentsia, which is phenomenally
different from the Israeli, and indeed from the intelligentsia of the whole
world, in its right-wing political views, which are more characteristic of
representatives of the Israeli shuk, which is regularly Likud leaders are sent
before each election. The fact that on the Palestinian issue we look holier
than the Pope compared to the native Israelis is explained not by the desire to
show them our patriotic feelings, but by the imperial worldview that we had and
with which we came from the “Evil Empire”.
Among us, great experts in history, there is
an opinion that there is no Palestinian people as such. There are Arabs who
came to Palestine and let them go back to where they came from. Thus, following
a similar statement, one can extend it to the peoples of Egypt, Libya, Algeria
and other Arab countries, and finally implement the idea of transferring
the Arabs, driving them all into the Arabian desert, and on even greater
grounds, because, for example, in Morocco, they certainly came much later than
in Palestine.” (5)
Regarding
the historical right of the Jews to Palestine, I would like to remind you that
the Jews, as an established people, came out of Egypt when there were no Arabs
there at all. In other words, the true homeland of the Jewish people is Egypt.
In connection with which, historically, the Jewish people have more rights to
Egypt than the Arabs who appeared there millennia later. (6) An irresistible
love for free activity and reluctance to be in the status of slaves of the
Pharaoh, in which the entire population of Egypt was, was the reason for the
mass exodus from the country, where, after more than 200 years of residence,
they became a people from the incoming tribe. According to legend, after 40
years of wandering through the Sinai desert, the Jews came to Canaan, where the
Philistines lived, and subsequently took possession of the land of the
Philistines, Palestine, and formed the Kingdom of Israel, the foundation of which
dates back to the 11th century BC. e. around 1030 BC e. After the death of King
Solomon (930–920 BC), the kingdom of Israel splits into the northern kingdom of
Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
Judging
by the map, the Gaza region was not historically part of the Israeli state. By
the way, the first mention of the word “Israel” was discovered in Egypt on the
stele of Pharaoh Merneptah (late 13th century BC) and referred to the people,
and not to the country of Israel, which did not exist at all in those days.
That is, the word “Jew” carries a more semantic load and comes from a very
common Hindi word in the East - “avara” (tramp). Also in Hebrew it means
“passed over.” This word also gave the name to the nomadic Turkic people -
Avars.
The Jewish kingdoms did not last long. The
north was conquered 200 years later by Assyria (721 BC). The kingdom of Judah
was later destroyed by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BC. and
significant by the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the
Babylonian captivity, which began the resettlement of Jews in the countries of
the East and West. Since then, Israel as a state has disappeared, and its
territory turns out to be part of the Persian Empire, the Empire of Alexander
the Great, the Seleucid Empire, with the fall of which for a short period of
time 110 - 63 years. BC. The Hasmonean Empire emerges in Judea. Further, this
region is controlled by the Great Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the
Sasanian Empire, the Arab Caliphate, the Seljuk Empire, and finally the Ottoman
Empire.
It is important to note the fact that the
Persians and Turks treated the Jews very favorably; it was during the Persian
Empire that the Jews were allowed to return to Israel and conduct religious
ceremonies, and the Second Temple was built at that time. Jewish wandering
Radanite merchants controlled the Great Silk Road and trade not only in the
Middle East, but also in Khazaria and Crimea. During the expulsion of Jews from
Spain, when the Inquisition burned at the stake throughout Europe, the Ottoman
Empire accepted Jewish refugees. And right up to the Islamic Revolution, Israel
and Iran had excellent interstate relations.
So,
Israel as a state, after the Jews captured the land of the Philistines, existed
in the history of human civilization for only 300 years. Since then, due
primarily to the national mentality, preserving the Faith and traditions, Jews
settled in different countries, engaging in trade and usury, preserving in the
people's memory information about Palestine as the Motherland, although in fact
the homeland of the Jewish people, as I said, is Egypt, in which the Jews ,
have more historical rights than the Arabs, the existence of which in those
distant times in those parts no one had ever heard of.
As you know, the Arabs appeared in
Palestine after the victory over Byzantium in 634 and since then did not leave
it until the Jews began to expel them in 1948, in connection with the UN
decision to create two states. Thus, if the Jews who came to Palestine from
Sinai created a state that lasted only 300 years, then the Arabs of Palestine
as part of the Arab Caliphate before its fall in 1258 were on this land for
more than 600 years, plus another 690 years as part of the Seljuk and then Ottoman
empire, so the claim that Jews have more rights to this territory is highly
questionable. As a result of Israel's occupation of all of Palestine, the Arab
state did not exist, and for 77 years now the Palestinians have been waging an
unsuccessful struggle with Israel for their state. It must be said that the
blame for what happened lies entirely with the UN, which made a fatal mistake
for which both Arabs and Jews are paying. First, it was necessary to introduce
international forces to the envisaged border of the division of Palestine into
Arab and Jewish states in order to avoid inevitable bloodshed.(7)
Here
it is appropriate to recall some very unsightly moments from a moral point of
view related to the history of the creation of a state for Jews, which are not
usually remembered. The fact is that, having set out to create a state, the
Jews considered various countries, and in this regard, the Jews came closest to
organizing such a state on the territory of the Soviet Crimea.
It
just so happened that the duty of the so-called Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee,
organized during the war at the instigation of Stalin, was to establish contact
with the rich and influential Jewish community of America, which could provide
financial assistance to the Soviet Union in its fight against Nazi Germany. The
Kremlin's initiative was gladly received by American Jews, but the intended
assistance turned out to be not selfless. The leaders of the JAC, who received
direct financial support, seemed to feel like great political figures, writing
a letter to Stalin in which they requested the creation of a Jewish Socialist
Republic in Crimea, mind you, not an autonomous region, but a union republic.
In order to appease American Jews, the Father of All Nations ordered the
deportation of the indigenous people of Crimea in May 1944, making it clear by
this act that Crimea was being prepared for a future Jewish state. However,
when the war ended, Stalin shot the entire Anti-Fascist Committee in its
entirety. (8) However, subsequently Stalin assisted in the organization of the
Jewish state in Palestine, which, according to his calculations, would be
socialist. It must be said that it initially became such, but over time it
turned into a mafia-socialist one, in which there is no market competition.
Israel is essentially a semi-theocratic state, because religion is not
separated from the state, which is nonsense for a democratic state. Numerous
religious parties take an active part in parliament and government, moreover,
the laws of Halakha are included in the country's legislation, and, who knows,
under certain circumstances, the Jewish state can transform into the Jewish
Republic of Israel, like the Islamic Republic of Iran. (9)
Recently,
the opinion of the world community has changed, today it has become more
influential, and the words of Ben Gurion “it does not matter what the goyim
say, it is important what the Jews do” do not work today. The latest war in
Gaza, marked by an unprecedented number of civilian casualties, caused outrage
among the world community. Anti-Israel demonstrations have taken place in
democratic countries, and even in Israel itself, rallies and numerous
demonstrations do not stop for the withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza and
the resignation of the Netanyahu government, which does not find an answer to
the important question of how he imagines the future status of Gaza. Moreover,
it is not known when Netanyahu’s promised release of the hostages and victory
over Hamas will be fulfilled. In the meantime, literally every day of the war
brings sad news about the death of Israeli soldiers in Gaza, and the worst
thing that can happen is if the state of Palestine becomes a reality and the
untimely death of young people turns out to be in vain.
The
number of countries recognizing the state of Palestine is increasing, but
Israeli society is not ready to come to terms with the idea that the
Palestinians will live in their own state, and this fact is well understood by
Netanyahu, who is forced to continue a senseless war for control over the
entire territory of Israel, including the so-called fiction, that is, the
Palestinian autonomy, which is actively being built up with Jewish settlements
and even cities. Another 10 to 20 years of apartheid, which is exactly what we
can call the conditions created by Israel on the territory designated for a
Palestinian state in accordance with the same UN resolution No. 181, and such a
concept as Palestine and the Palestinian people will become history. This
situation explains the desperate and completely unequal struggle of the
Palestinians with Israel and its patron, the United States, however... .
America,
which usually vetoes resolutions condemning Israel, is essentially pursuing a
policy of double standard. On the one hand, America unconditionally supports
Ukraine in its fight against fascist Russia, which intends to destroy Ukraine
and the Ukrainian people (10,11,12), on the other hand, it covers Israel, whose
goal is to wipe Palestine and its people off the face of the earth.
Increasing
global condemnation of Israel is forcing America to adopt a more cautious
policy, as evidenced by President Biden's op-ed in the Washington Post, which
suggested that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be resolved by creating
two states for two peoples.(13)
One
thing follows from this: America’s policy regarding the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict will no longer consist of unilateral support for Israel. And, most paradoxically,
the terrorist organization Hamas led to this outcome! After all, it was Hamas
that forced the world community to talk about the creation of a Palestinian
state.
The Hamas
ideology defeated the ideology whose goal was to create the state of Israel
throughout the former Palestine. It should be noted here that the ideology of
Zionism was deliberately modified, because initially it was intended to create
a state for the Jews, which was accomplished, but the ideology did not include
a strategy for the destruction of Palestine and the Palestinian people.
Today,
politicians in Tel Aviv are forced to reckon with the international community,
otherwise Israel may find itself isolated, which is detrimental for a country
that is not self-sufficient. Israeli society must abandon the idea of owning
the land of the Palestinian people. Only peace with its neighbors is the key to
a future for Israel. The Jewish state, freed from the confrontation with the
Palestinians, will finally acquire the Constitution long promised to the people
with a clear separation of all three branches of government, and the separation
of religion from the state, which is an indispensable condition for any
democracy. Israeli society must understand that a market economy is the only
way to the country's prosperity, and not the established mafia economy of
Israel with half government companies, legally protected from competition with
the world market. Such an economy cannot be competitive on the world market;
moreover, it impedes the influx of investment.
Israeli society has significant scientific
and technological potential, especially after the Great Aliyah, but this alone
is not an indispensable condition for prosperity. It is necessary to create
production on this basis, but in this regard not everything is going well.
Thus, there are many startups in Israel, but their successful developments
always become the property of other countries. The startup sees its goal as
obtaining a patent for the development and quickly selling it well, without
bothering with the production of a new product. But without production there
can be no prosperity of the country. Only production creates jobs and ensures
the country's wealth. I would like to address a well-known fact in which the
national mentality was of decisive importance. So in Germany, banks ended up in
the hands of Rothschild, and production in the hands of Krupp. It was
production that ensured the prosperity of the country, and not the money of
Rothschild, who moved to America. The Jews have money only to make money; Jews
have been engaged in usury since ancient times; the Germans have money in order
to organize the production of goods and, by selling them, expand production,
which provides work for the population and its well-being, as a whole and for
the entire country. Having financial capital is not yet an indispensable
condition for well-being; in conditions of general hunger, no one will sell you
bread for a mountain of gold.
Israel has all the conditions to become a
leading country in the field of high technology, following the example of South
Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, which, thanks to the smart policies pursued by the
leaders of these countries, organized the production of competitive goods,
which brought the people of these countries out of a miserable existence. In
Israel, politicians are only concerned with the struggle for power and
protecting mafia production from the world market; there is a kind of symbiosis
that ensures the well-being of the authorities and the owners of banks and
manufacturing enterprises.
Today, the people of Israel are faced with
a choice on which their fate depends: either continue a senseless war that
leads to nowhere, or deal with internal problems in order to become the second
Singapore in the Middle East.
