Dreams and nightmares are faces of
the same coin. Clearly the creation of the state of Israel is based
on the Zionist dream, outsmarting both the international community,
and definitely the Arabs. For the past century, the dream of Israel
has depended on skillful manipulation, international deals and the
use of force whenever needed. Among all states built on dreams or
doctrines that are exclusive, xenophobic, racist, or religious; in
case like the Soviet Union, Hitler Germany, Milosevic's Greater
Serbia, or Taliban, Israel has managed to survive due to constant
support of artificial means, made possible through numerous and
spread veins that feed it from remote parts of the globe. While the
support of Israel’s uphill existence has no address, the state
itself has one; an address in the heart of the most ancient,
complex, and emotional part of the world.
The fact that Israel survives on
the manipulation of the public opinion of the west, western funds,
and occasionally blackmail (Monika Lewinsky) means that it must
sustain the constant pressure of such skills. This strategy is
proving to be a costly endeavor, for both the parasite and the host.
This also means that the host’s contribution, taxpayer money, is
invested in a difficult address, drained, and wasted often with
disastrous backfiring as we now witness.
Demographic Displacements
The creation of Israel can be
described as a triple transplant surgery; the removal of most of the
Palestinian people from their historic land, the transplanting of
Oriental Jews out of their natural habitat in several Arab countries
and into an artificially adhered society, and the incitement of the
emigration of Western Jews, all to be concentrated within the a body
that is naturally Arab. This complicated, ideologically based
surgery is unique to human history; a kidney transplant conducted by
a fanatic priest. The body has rejected the kidney for almost half
of a century, and with all the painkillers and suppressive
medications, the kidney remains a foreign object with recurrent
rejection flairs as the current one. The question remains whether
the body, with this surgical malpractice, is the Middle East or the
World at large.
Straining of Ecology
Because the creation of Israel is
based on the displacement of population, it is important that we
view this experiment within its ecological context. Scientifically
speaking, landscape in the Middle East has a very limited carrying
capacity in view of its limited natural resources; water in
specific. Not only that this carrying capacity has been outstretched
to it’s collapsing limits, by numbers of Jews brought to the land of
Palestine, it also reaching a breaking point outside the state of
Israel (the reasons for the right of return are not purely moral or
legal) due to the unnatural pushing of refugees into the Arabian
Desert and away from the shores of the Mediterranean. This eminent
ecological failure is also inflamed by different levels of water
consumption (liter-per capita) of the western Jews who evolved in
wetter landscapes.
What is most alarming, ironic, or
tragic, is the fact that every single Jewish emigrant that came from
the west, came from countries in which water is much more abundant.
This fact presents a vivid example
of the ecological shortsightedness of Zionists, beside the drying of
Lake Houla and “making the desert bloom” against its will.
With all the Zionist scientific,
intellectual, and calculative vision, the displacement of people
against forces of ecology, into one of the world’s most arid regions
is a recipe for a painful disaster, a collapsing invention on which
nature will take no sides and will ultimately address no matter
when.
With this argument in mind, the
synergy of the creation of Israel with the American – Red Indian
case does not hold. To understand the difference it would be
sufficient only to consider the different land/person ratio; the
kilometer per capita of irrigatable land in both cases. A more
meaningful comparison should be between Israel and Apartheid South
Africa, or the failing colonial experiment in Zimbabwe.
The world will pay dearly at every
attempt to outwit nature. Nature and ecology will remain to say “no”
no matter how much the American Administration would intervene.
Ecology will not obey western pressure and definitely will not
listen to the Bush Administration since this administration does not
listen to ecology (Kyoto).
Ecologically speaking, Israel
remains a dangerous, unsustainable, and unviable experiment.
The Global Costs
Not only Israel is a dangerous,
environmentally un-friendly, law-manipulative experiment, it is also
an expensive one. Israel’s cost has managed to maintain an
accumulating account; it sticks out as the most expensive endeavor
in human history, both per capita and per square meter. These costs
not only include impossible-to-add-up dollar figure of American and
European tax money, the hereditary guilt-tax paid by each German
generation, but also the human lives, destruction and delayed
development of countries in the region. The bill can include Egypt
of Jamal Abdulnaser, Jordan’s unrest in the 1970s, Lebanon of the
1980s, the Iraqi-Iranian war (1980- 1988) with the agenda of
creating a lasting rift between Sunni Muslims and Sheit Muslims (a
duty first performed by Saddam and then continued by Taliban and in
both cases the Zionist inspired job-description got out of hand).
The bill also includes, most importantly the Diaspora of the people
of Palestine.
Ideologically speaking, Sharon’s
Israel is identical to Mullah Omar’s Taliban, as both are based on
religion. Sharon’s attempt of cleansing Israel from the rights of
stubborn Palestinians is identical to Mullah Omar’s attack on
historic statues of another religion that preceded Taliban’s
Government for centuries. What is alarming is that in Israel’s case
the civilized world is deceived and manipulated into unquestionable
support of this uncivilized doctrine (Zionism) dressed in a
democracy that didn’t stop the return of a War Criminal as their
leader. For extending its power of deception, Israel benefits
greatly from the suicide attacks on both its civilians and army, in
the way it uses it in the media. It must always be stressed that
these awful uncivilized crimes, when a teenager blows himself (or
herself) to inflict casualties, should never be defendable. On the
other hand, this phenomenon should be deciphered and understood. In
order for Bush to understand it’s proper context, it would be
advisable to call upon experts, university research to investigate
to which level of humiliation, frustration and feeling of deception,
a human being has to go through, to commit such a terrible act. The
explanations that Israel pre-casts for the white House consumption,
linking this phenomenon with Islamic fundamentalism or Iraqi
funding, is not valid; at least not for any one with average
intelligence. Why fundamental terrorists in Egypt (Luxor), Ireland,
or in the massacre of Hebron by an Israeli fanatic Jew did not
resort to suicide? It is because the criminals in all there cases
are not frustrated enough to kill themselves with the targeted
unarmed civilians. As for the scenario of the Iraqi funding of the
Intifada, it is clear that Saddam is so desperate to bail himself
out of his bloody past. His cashing on this legitimate struggle for
independence is an attempt to hide his grave misconduct, human right
record, and being fooled to implement Israel’s plan for a Sunni-Sheit
division (Knight of the Eastern Gate; hence his favorite Texan hat)
a war which killed one million human beings, more than all the Arabs
killed by Israel for the past 100 years. But his action was designed
by Israel and advised by America, which explains the total silence
and lack of interest in his human right record (gassing of Kurds,
etc.) as long as he is on the job. Funds arrive to the Intifada from
many other Arab Countries, but the accepting Iraqi funds to mix with
other Arab money sent for the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian
people is a grave mistake that Arafat allowed to happen. It must be
said that Israel’s technique of making the Palestinians desperate to
a blinding degree has succeed in this case.
As a secular, civilized Arab
Muslim, Ayatollah Khomainy’s neo-Islam never appealed to me. I never
liked their hybrid neo-Saladdin dress, especially that relating to
the fashion of scarves, in a style, or better lack of stile, that is
predominantly polyester. While at the same time I am fascinated with
the Afghani dress. But now, after 20 years, the most important fact
that the Arabs must realize, is that Iran of Today is not Iran of
Ayatollah Khomayni, and it is moving away from that awful, Israeli
style, religion-based, experiment of the 1980s and back into our
common multi-ethnic eastern civilization; we must help it to do so.
This tragically accumulative bill
to fund a peculiar and astronomically overpriced existence has a
carbon copy of moral costs. The moral cost of glucosing Israel with
Palestinian blood, will keep adding up beyond estimated budget. The
good-intentioned people of the west might wakeup, maybe soon, and
shy away from sharing responsibility for a questionable morality on
which Israel’s very existence depends. Israel harvesting of western
support, through deception, is reaching diminishing returns.
The Way Out?
1-
The Israel experiment should be viewed within its proper size
without any consideration to arms or hi-tech resources (the Soviet
Union had more of both).
2-
An account must be kept of
the costs of Israel; in human lives, natural resources, financial
resources, and (most important) moral costs.
3-
It must remain the duty of
every freedom-loving morally-sober individual in this world to point
the finger to the American Government and hold it responsible as
partner in Israel’s official terrorism, as supporter of illegal
acts, and as a government that allows itself to be manipulated by
Israel and to get Palestinian blood on it’s hands.
4-
It must be remembered that
the US has accumulated a record of unfair vetoes, has obstructed any
attempt of international justice, and has refused any even-handed
international peacekeeping forces. The US has allowed it’s policy in
the Middle East to be hijacked by Israel and to be turned into a
single-sided support for the state that has the longest list of
unapplied UN resolutions. America’s very policy that gives
unconditional support for only one side gets in return much of its
criminal record.
5-
The current attack on humanity as we see in the occupied
territories, should be a wake-up call to people of the region, as
was the case of the attack of 11th of Sept. to Americans. Although
both are very similar in being immoral and criminal acts targeting
civilians, In Israel’s case it is a premeditated, state-run act of
terror with clearer record of evidence, weapons used and green
lights given. What is happening in the Palestinian cities of
Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus and Jineen refugee camp is the
Palestinian equivalent of the 11th of Sept. a terrorist
attack on aspiration for freedom, put on hold for half a century.
But Sharon’s terrorist attack is also different from the terrorist
attack of 11th of Sept. in two ways. First that Sharon’s
attack is backed up directly by the Israeli democracy and indirectly
by the American one. Secondly the casualties in Sharon’s terrorism
are left bleeding where they fall, in many cases mutilated by the
Israeli army, and ambulances are not permitted on the scene.
6-
The Oriental world, I dare
not say the Arab World or the Muslim World should take the
opportunity of this wake-up call and start a sustained, consistent
project of thinking diversity. Globalization is an experiment more
dangerous than that of Israel. The Orientals should use as a
catalyst not religion, language, or color; but rather the same
diversity that is maliciously used to separate them; cultural
diversity, language diversity, technical diversity, biodiversity and
diversity of opinion.
7-
We should join forces to say
no to globalization that erases our colorful mosaic of
ecologically shaped cultures, no to genetically modified
seeds (seeds that are eradicating a farming tradition that goes back
to 10 thousand years), diminishing our crop-diversity and robbing us
from our unique crops made fit through evolution and nature-friendly
domestication, and putting our farmers under the mercy of global
corporatism.
8-
We should look to the East, to India and to other countries that are
rejecting GM products. Cultures that have great talents of technical
diversity, innovatively using intermediate technology that is based
on accumulating knowledge rather than the replacement of it.
9-
We should be careful of
“experts” that come through “aid” which is now obviously tarnished
in blood, and learn from us complex solutions to sell them back to
us labeled and patented. Instead we should look for experts from
eastern countries with similar problems and needs to exchange
experiences in grass-root, sustainable, environment-friendly,
energy-efficient and donor-agency-free development.
10-
We should beware the flow and
content of ” IT” as it has an extinctive effect on cultural
diversity on the style of the silent invasion of GM seeds.
11-
We should, as Orientals,
better manage our landscape, create some degradation monitoring
system and learn about it’s secrets, assets and potentials, beyond
the out-dated economy of extracting commodities.
12-
We should look for hope and
economic vitality that can only come from inside and not as
pre-packaged kit imported from outside. The fact is that no one can
design a working kit specially not those who are enemies of
diversity as personified in globalization.
13-
We must understand that
economic bailout through aid in bloodstained dollars is addictive
and will only pull us into greater dependency.
14-
We shall not fear devaluation
of our currencies, for it is not as bad as devaluation of our
morality, and we must realize that the strength of our currency is
working ageist the creative in us, diminishing chances of the
exporters and boosting the business of importers, raising
un-employment and sending job opportunities abroad.
15-
We must realize that Israel
and America have cornered themselves in their own lacks of political
option and the only face-saving way out for them, is an armed
conflict with countries of the region, because we all know that
their military might outweighs a thousand times their diplomatic
wisdom. We should not bail them out through military confrontation.
Let us witness the American Policy in the Middle East snowball into
further failure, diminishing any leftovers of American credibility
in front of the rest of the civilized and uncivilized worlds.
16-
Terrorism is intentional
deprivation of the life, legal rights, aspiration, freedom of
movement, land, resources, and of the opinion of un-armed civilians.
17-
We should not, after all call
for the destruction of Israel, for this is unrealistic and
definitely create a messy situation. We might bet on it being
partially or totally, quickly or slowly, dismantled. Since all
dogma-based states have some elements of reversibility. A partial
dismantling that might, and should, start with the large number of
illegal settlements, (many of which crept when the Arabs were
intoxicated with the “Pease Process”) can best be performed by the
same surgeon, who operated on this transplant; namely the UK and the
US. The best thing we can do is to refuse taking the painkillers,
the fever suppressing drugs, the anti-inflammatory and antibiotic
pills so that the final life-saving operation becomes as eminent as
death.

Ex Oriente Lux; light comes
from the East
