Zionism: The Real Enemy of Jews
A Book for Peace
By Alan Hart
The book that mainstream publishers were too frightened to publish
out of fear of offending Zionism is now published.
Alan Hart's book, ZIONISM: THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS gives an
unparalleled insight into the unchecked rise of Zionist power and the
inevitable consequences for all - the Jews of the world as well Moslems and
Gentiles - if this power is not now checked. The consequence Alan foresees is a
Clash of Civilisations, Judeo-Christian v Islamic, with, along the way, the
unleashing of the twin monsters of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. And one of
the many questions he asks and answers is - How can these monsters be stopped
from going on the rampage?
As a correspondent for ITN's News At Ten and the BBC's Panorama
programme, Alan covered what used to be called the Arab-Israeli conflict from
both sides. And from his one-to-one private conversations with such leaders as
Golda Meir, Mother Israel, and Yasser Arafat, Father Palestine, he was able to
distinguish between what they really believed and feared as opposed to what
they said in public for propaganda and myth-sustaining purposes.
The result is a riveting read, all the more so because because of
Alan's very personal style of story telling which makes each reader feel that
the author is in conversation with him or her. It is a completely absorbing
book, a page-turner.. Clare Short has described it as "a magificent piece of
work."
The truth of Alan's words should give all communities - Jewish,
Moslem and Gentile - pause for thought and hope.
In August 2005...(as is replacing only last sentence with the
following). What we Moslems (Muslims) have to ask ourselves is - are we strong
enough to say the same? Alan himself is aware that most people of all faiths
and none are frightened to criticise the Zionist state of Israel out of fear of
being accused of anti-Semitism. But his whole book is the evidence of why it is
perfectly possible to be passionately anti-Zionist without being in any way,
shape or form anti-Semitic. Alan says: "The charge of anti-Semitism is a
blackmail card Zionism plays to silence critics of Israel's arrogance of power
and to suppress informed and honest debate. If there is to be informed and
honest debate about who must do what and why for peace, peoples of all faiths
and none must overcome the fear of being falsely and maliciously accused of
being anti-Semitic."
ZIONISM AND TRUTH
If Zionism could have been honest it would have said, in public,
after the Nazi holocaust and Israel's unilateral declaration of independence in
1948, something like the following.Jews can never again trust Gentiles. We take
it as a given that Jews will always be hated and that the monster of
anti-Semitism will go on the rampage again. The Zionist state exists to be the
refuge of last resort for Jews everywhere and is thus an insurance policy to
guarantee the survival of the Jewish people. We will do whatever it takes to
maintain this guarantee, and if what we do causes our state to be regarded as a
pariah by the rest of the world, well, the rest of the world can go to hell.
This truth could not be told because telling it would have been to
admit, even to proclaim, that Zionism had no time or need for, and was
estranged from, the moral principles and teachings of Judaism.
Unable to tell the truth, Zionism had to tell a lie to justify its
actions. The lie was that Israel - a Zionist state NOT a Jewish state - was in
constant danger of annihilation. Except in Arab rhetoric, it never was. Not in
1948. Not in 1967. And not in 1973.
a.. According to the first and still existing draft of
Judeo-Christian history, Israel went to war in 1967 either because the Arabs
attacked first or were intending to attack. The truth is that this was a war of
Israeli aggression, not self-defense. Avi Shlaim was both right and wrong when
he wrote in The Iron Wall that Israel did not go to war to take territory. The
government of Israel headed by Prime Minister Eshkol with Rabin as chief of
staff, did NOT; but Defense Minister Dayan, imposed upon Eshkol at the last
minute in something close to a military coup, DID. The truth is that Dayan set
a trap for Nasser and, for reasons of face, he was daft enough to walk into it.
For Dayan the war of 1967 was about the creation of Greater Israel, Zionism's
unfinished business of 1948.
a.. Part of the untold truth (revealed in my book) is that the
Arab regimes and elites secretly shared the hope of Zionism and the major
powers - that there would not be a regeneration of Palestinian nationalism
after the Palestine file had been closed by Israel's victory on the battlefield
in 1948. The Palestine file was supposed to have remained closed for ever
because, if it was re-opened, there would at some point have to be a
confrontation with Zionism - i.e. if the major powers were not to have to admit
that there was nothing they would or could do to right the terrible wrong done
to the Palestinians; and if the Arab regimes were not to be exposed as all the
things they are - impotent and incompetent on account of their divisions, and
corrupt and repressive.
a.. So far as Zionism, the major powers and Arab regimes and
elites were concerned but could never say, Arafat's real crime was that he
caused the Palestine file to be re-opened.
WHY THE JEWISH SILENCE?
As some courageous anti-Zionist Jews and Israelis have said,
mainstream diaspora Jewish silence on the matter of the Zionist state's
behaviour is, effectively, "complicity" in its crimes and its preference for
land without peace. So why the silence?
As noted in the updated Acknowledgments of my book, the main reason
is fear of the future and thus the perceived need, perhaps, one day, for Israel
as a refuge of last resort. I write that, because of the past, mainstream
diaspora Jews are so fearful of the future - unspeakably terrified not just
frightened - that they are frozen in silence, unable more than unwilling to
criticise Israel. They fear that if they do, they could undermine the wellbeing
and security of Israel as their insurance policy. Effectively, silence on the
matter of the Zionist state's behaviour is the diaspora's contribution (at
least as important as the money) to the maintenance of the insurance policy.
The tragedy is that the Zionist state's behaviour has re-awakened
the sleeping giant of anti-Semitism, and by their silence and complicity
mainstream diaspora Jews are assisting Zionism to become a self-fulfilling
prophesy of doom. They are also standing idly by while Zionism demolishes the
moral foundations of Judaism.
Is there a way to encourage mainstream diaspora Jews to end their
silence? (And play their necessary and essential part in persuading Israel to
make peace on the basis of a genuine two-state solution, a proposition almost
all Palestinians and most other Arabs accepted many years ago, mainly because
of Arafat's pragmatism and courage). The only possible way I can see is with
the assistance of a NEW COVENANT, not between the Jews and their God but
between the Jews and the Gentiles. I call for this in the Epilogue of my book
which is titled The Jews as the Light Unto Nations.
MEDIA COMPLICITY
My book is fiercely controversial ONLY because of Zionism's success
in getting the mainstream information providers of the Judeo-Christian world -
including me in my ITN and Panorama reporting days - to accept its mythology as
real history. I have replaced the former with the latter. In effect my book
puts much of the mainstream media on trial. The question is: Does it now have
the courage and integrity to come to grips with the truth - for the purpose of
assisting informed and honest debate? My view is that if it does not, it, too,
will be complicit in a catastrophe that will engulf us all. With, along the
way, another great turning against Jews. As an aside in my book I say that with
pork-barrel American politicians as friends, Jews do not need enemies. My so
far unstated companion point is that the best real interests of the Jews are
not well served by the mainstream media's fear of offending Zionism.
