The History and "Morals" of Ethnic Cleansing
6 January 2009, by Victoria BuchI arrived in Israel 40 years ago. It took me many years to understand that the very existence of my country, as it is today, is based on an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The project started many years ago. Its seed can be traced to the basic fallacy of the Zionist movement, which set out to establish a Jewish-national state in a location already inhabited by another nation. Under these conditions, one has, at most, a moral right to strive for a bi-national state; establishing a (…) -
A PRE-PLANNED AND PRE-MEDITATED EFFORT FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING AND LAND THEFT
28 February 2009, by Nizar SakhniniPROLOGUE: The Zionist propaganda began with a big lie claiming that Palestine was a “land without people for a people without a land”. Palestine, however, was not a ‘land without people’. Accordingly, creation of a ‘Jewish State’ with a ‘Jewish Majority’ implied getting rid of its indigenous population and stealing their homes and lands. The pre-planned and pre-meditated Zionist efforts for Ethnic Cleansing and Land Theft started in 1948 and never stopped to this date. HISTORICAL (…) -
Ahmadinejad, time for a change of tactics?
21 April 2009, by Mary RizzoEvery time I see Ahmadinejad go to speak at a forum, I start to put my hands in my hair. It is not that I disagree with the man, it’s simply that I can’t figure out why he has still not yet learned how the game works at least where the majority of the world’s power structure is located. It is enough for him to be announced as a visitor, be it at Columbia University, the UN General Assembly or an international forum on racism, and all the players line up to go through the motions. While his (…) -
Israel - a Jewish State or a state of its citizens ?
8 May 2009, by Oren MedicksIsrael is possibly the only state where such a question could have any meaning. According to the declaration of Independence, Israel belongs to the entire Jewish people, not only to those who choose to live here. This is the foundation for the ‘law of return’, under which every Jew has, upon arrival, the right to immediate Israeli citizenship. This means that Israeli actions are carried out on behalf of the Jewish people and that the Jewish people shares responsibility for Israeli policy. (…) -
The language of Zionism
13 May 2010, by Joseph MassadThe reason for the ongoing "violence" in Israel and Palestine is not on account of Israeli colonialism at all but rather a direct result of mistranslation. Joseph Massad provides an abridged lexicon of Zionist terminology -
Les mots et la terre - Fayard 2006
2 février 2007, par Shlomo SandLe post-sionisme Le passé juif entre histoire religieuse et construction nationale Le Bilan national, de Boaz Evron, paru en 1988, a été le seul essai des années quatre-vingt écrit et publié en hébreu . Les critiques n’en sont pas moins demeurées rares et le silence qui a entouré sa sortie est révélateur du mode de fonctionnement du monde universitaire israélien. Non pas historien mais intellectuel indépendant, déjà auteur d’un essai de philosophie, Boaz Evron fait montre d’un esprit (…) -
Détruire la Palestine ou comment terminer la guerre de 1948
16 avril 2007, par Tanya ReinhartDepuis l’occupation de 1967, les responsables politiques et militaires israéliens débattent de la meilleure façon de conserver le maximum de terres avec le minimum de Palestiniens. Les dirigeants de la "génération de 1948", Alon, Sharon, Dayan, Rabin, Pérès ont été élevés dans le mythe de la rédemption de la terre. Sharon, dans un entretien étonnamment candide avec Ari Shavit (Haaretz, supplément hebdomadaire, 13 avril 2001), a donné un aperçu de la vision du monde qui avait cours dans le (…) -
