Celebrating the Catastrophe

Lorenzo Canizares | 06.05.2003 22:57

Zionism is a disgrace to the human race.

One of the biggest injustices of the twentieth century -- the 55th anniversary of the establishment of the State of "Israel" -- is being celebrated in a manner bordering on the scandalous. The implantation of the zionist entity in Palestine has been rightly described as the al-Nakba (the catastrophe) by Palestinians.

The hoopla surrounding Israeli celebrations conveniently ignores the fact that European Jews stole Palestine in connivance with the European powers, primarily Britain. This was only made possible by driving out the indigenous
population -- the Palestinians -- from their ancestral lands, through terror and mass murder.

The zionists have peddled the mythology of turning "deserts into orchards" with the active collaboration of the West. Their claim to Palestine is based on a complete perversion of historical facts sprinkled with Biblical references to geography. The zionists -- most of them secular fanatics who have nothing to do with Judaism -- have reduced the Bible to a real estate manual.

Shedding the blood of the Palestinians launched the zionist colonial settler enterprise. It has been sustained through terror, the most common characteristic of the zionists, for 55 years. More than 475 Palestinian towns and villages were completely wiped out. There is no trace left of them anymore.

Soon after the June 1967 war, Moshe Dayan, the one-eyed Israeli general (may it burn in the "Gehenna"), had boasted to a group of visiting Jews from the U.S. that the present generation had expanded the boundaries of the State of "Israel" this far. Now it was up to the next generation to take them further. He also candidly admitted that hundreds of Palestinian villages and towns had been wiped out.

Contrary to zionist propaganda, now admitted even by some Israeli historians, the Palestinian inhabitants of these once-thriving towns did not flee on orders from the Arab regimes. They fled in the face of the zionist terror machine. Deir Yasin (April 9, 1948) was but one example of numerous zionist atrocities perpetrated against innocent civilians. Palestinian women were parade naked in the streets. Many of them were bayoneted to death before their bodies were dumped in wells. At least 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes in this campaign to settle European Jews in Palestine. This obscenity is being celebrated today as a great achievement.

Many leaders of the zionist terrorist gangs (may they also burn in the "Gehenna") -- Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir et el -- later became prime ministers of the "only democracy in the Middle East."

While America continues her massive annual handouts to the parasite state of Israel, many American citizens are denied many of their basic needs.
