"We could also see how something was happening in the heart of the boy,
something that, when he grew up, could only become a viper inside him,
the same thing that was now the weeping of a helpless child.” ~ Yizhar Smilansky, intelligence officer in the Israeli army in 1948

The title of the article
might remind the reader of George Orwell book 1984. Orwell wrote about the
totalitarian state and how the (big brother) controls every individual life.
And since the soviet state was the assumed totalitarian state in Orwell mind it
was a paradox that the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1990 which is 6 years
after the title date.
But if the culture of the
comprehensive terror ended in the Soviet Union the state of Israel has become
the legal heir of the compressive culture of terror towards the whole region.
Meanwhile as the Germans
were destroying the Berlin wall it was announced that the Second World War is
over in Europe.
By mere coincidence, I
read Orwell book (1984) in the year 1984. It was a birthday present from
Kristin, a French artist who spent one year at an Israeli kipputz. At the
period when Kristin was at the Israeli kipputz it was popular among European
left wing men and woman to take part in the (unique socialist Zionist
experiment!).
Not many of them asked
the fate of the Palestinians that were living on the land on which the kipputz
were going to be situated on. Israel wanted them to disappear from the
geography and from history and its politicians declared that Palestinians never
exist!
Luckily Kristin got to
know about the Palestinian rights through the lies and the falsifications of
the Israeli guide about the establishment of the Zionist state. (I knew that he
was telling lies), Kristin told me. I was very happy to hear that.
Nothing pleases a
Palestinian more than seeing brainwashed persons freed from the Zionist
hasbara. However I am talking about a period when the Zionist falsification was
stronger than the voice of the Palestinian victims.
But today in the age of
the alternative media Zionists are unable to market their lies any more or at
least not as successfully as before. We have seen their failure in the war on
Gaza which we commemorate these days. They denied the international media the
access to enter Gaza but, thanks to modern means of communication the horrible
pictures of the Zionist crimes came out to the world.
However, if Europeans saw
the destruction of the Berlin wall as ending the Second World War, Palestinians
are still living the result of the world war two. Its result was devastating on
Palestine and Palestinians until today.
If the world lives now in the year 2012 Palestinians are still living in 1948.
The year 1948 is not only
the year when Polish and Russian terrorist Jews occupied and wiped out
Palestine. 1948 represents the spirit of Zionist ideology based on land grab
and continuous organized terror.
The 1948 policy of destroying Palestine and Palestine has been always and still the corner stone of the Zionist policy. And thusly the Zionist terror in Palestine today and tomorrow and after tomorrow is a renewed 1948.
What would be the picture
of Palestine and the region without 1948, or without the transplantation of
Zionist state?
The immediate answer does
not take much to think of. There will be no wars, and the hundreds of thousands
killed by Zionist would be living now.
There would be no nuclear
race in the region because Zionists who introduced this terrific arm in the
region, and said no body is allowed to own it and the one who think to have it
will be attacked.
There would be no tension
between the Islamic east and the western world, and there would be no
fundamentalism in the region, and all the resources went to war would have been
devoted to construction.
Only this week and within
the spirit of 1948 the Israeli foreign minister Lieberman threatens to uproot
one and half million Palestinians from their home.
This threat is not in the
year 1948 but in the year 2012 which carries the ethnic cleansing spirit of
1948. However it is obvious that Zionists are unable to see the changes that
took place in the region and the world.
The decisive change is
that Palestinians have learnt much from the 1948 tragedy and the Zionist terror
machines won’t be able to uproot Palestinians from their home no matter what
Zionist Jews will be doing.
Jew and Palestinian in a world without Zionism.
In 1948 Palestinian did
not know their enemies who recently arrived from Poland and Russia.
Arabs had no negative attitude towards Arab Jews who were part of the region.Arabs did not know that period the difference between those Jews and the racist Jews arriving from east Europe with the culture of murder and destruction.
But today it is not a
secret to say that the Zionist Jews are the most hated in the Palestinian and
Arab culture.
However if the 1948
spirit of Zionism continues its terror machine the 1948 spirit of resistance
continues to be the dominant factor in the Palestinian culture. It is a long
way to go.
