ETHNIC CLEANSING OF GAZA

By Felix Quigley May 10, 2005

The propaganda which has been spread in Ireland about the Jewish ‘settlers’ is all lies. These are people who are above all peaceful and who want to live in peace. They have a right to live anywhere which they want and especially they have a right to live anywhere in Israel, (in Judea, Samaria or Gaza). They face an Islamist Arab enemy who want the whole Middle East to be Judenfrei.

They also face a neo-Left in Ireland who are bitterly anti-Israel and who are in total support of this ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

This Arab Islamist enemy of the Jewish people works deliberately to a stages strategy. At every ‘stage’ they are committed to taking whatever land is offered them by Israel, consolidating and then moving on to the rest.

This process has been likened to a giant boa constrictor which having been offered one meal, swallows it happily and then is prepared to lie in wait for the next.

This is the situation in which all the Jews of Israel are placed. But there are deep divisions inside Israeli society.

Why is Israeli society so bitterly divided? In my mind there are two chief reasons for this. Israeli is a very small country. Geographically it is tiny. Looking at an A4 sized map of the world Israel can scarcely be seen, it is a tiny little dot about the size of an exclamation mark. Not the size of Ireland, closer to one of the provinces of Ireland, Connaught for example.

Historically it is a country which has been and is buffeted by the forces of world anti-Semitism. Any reading of history affirms this. The articles which I wrote to introduce http://www.irelandsupportsisrael.com/ are full of instances of this world anti-Semitism. Against the forces of this anti-Semitism it is something of a fluke that the country managed to launch itself at all in 1948.

In the present moment the Arab world has got great power, which is bought because of its oil resources. Israel on the contrary has no oil; it only has the ingenuity of its people.

Because of this Israel finds itself totally isolated in the world. It faces first of all the deep anti-Semitism of the Arab and Muslim worlds, some billion living beings ranged against these 5 millions of Jews. That is some imbalance! The figures are impossible to comprehend but it is even worse because these enemies totally surround Israel.

But the problems do not end there for this tiny country. Israel also faces the hostility of these others, the EU, the UN, Russia, and as recent events have shown, the US. Israel has been urged by Bush and Rice to give more and more to the Palestinian Arabs at the risk of compromising its own security. This is what the Gaza sell-out by Sharon is all about. He has caved in to this pressure.

So the first aspect to the problems of Israel is this geographical and political isolation. But the second is the kind of political leadership which has developed inside Israel itself.

This has emerged as the most intriguing question of all. Of course there is much speculation and many theories on this. (Jews are adept at theorising about their own history).

A common view by religious Jews is that it is the fault of secularism in Jewish society and if there is a return to the ways of the faith all will be well. But not all Jews are religious and never will be. Just like the Irish, who are not all catholic, and especially after the escapades of Bishop Casey of Galway they never will be either.

Yet the religious Jews are partially correct. What they have identified is the great and continuing betrayals of this secularist Left in Israeli sociaty. Actually, once again, neo-Left would be more accurate to describe this political tendency, rather than Left.

In the articles to launch our website I spent some time investigating this problem. What I found I think provides the solution to this problem.

The state of Israel was set up and led from the beginning by European Leftists, but they were of a particular type. They were of the same political persuasion as those 'socialists' in the German Stalinist Communist Party as well as the reformist Social Democratic Party. These socialist leaders had betrayed the German working class and trade unions to the Nazis. Yet despite that betrayal these types brought that type of politics into the leadership of young Israel. Note that I am not saying they were not courageous and loyal but that is a different matter. It explains the hounding of patriotic Jews in the Revisionist Movement (The Huntimng Season)

The smallness of Israel surrounded by enemies, the international pressure on Israel, a leadership in Israel of this nature (stalinist, social democratic and opportunist) - these are vital factors. To this we add a further phenomenon. It has produced politicians like Sharon who care only about world opinion. Not accepting that they are the leadership of a small persecuted race and country they have developed airs about their own importance.

Self-importance, the great enemy of clear thinking! Every time a person like Sharon goes across to Bush’s ranch he feels a VERY important person indeed. But he is not. He is a very TINY person and is leading a very TINY country.

Such a man wants to sup with the giants. His role is to pick up the crumbs which fall from the tables of the great. He loses his self-respect as a Jew. He becomes angry against those Jews who refuse to pat him on the back, like Bush does. That’s it in a nutshell. It is not a Sharon or exclusively a Jewish thing. But given the vulnerability of the Jewish state it may have fatal consequences for the Jews of Israel.

According to Marlene Young who we quoted in Article 1 this is what this Sharon leadership is now doing in its sell out of Israel and of Jews right to live in peace in Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

Facts put forward by Marlene:

No more apprehending Palestinian terrorists

No jail for Palestinian terrorists, criminals, weapons smugglers.

No more demolitions of PA terrorists' homes [announced Feb 15].

No more operations to search and seize illegal PA weapons and weapons factories.

No more stopping weapons tunnels and smuggling.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah members will be permitted to move into Gush Katif and Shomron.

The EU, the UN, Arab states, Russia and the USA will not compensate Jewish settlers for land given to Palestinian Arabs. They are legitimizing the first forced transfer of Jews since the Holocaust.

The World Bank will not pay Jewish settlers who are the property owners; the World Bank will instead pay the Sharon Government (Sharon, Mofaz, Mazuz, Peres, Sarid) for Jewish farms and homes, and "sell" - give - the Jewish property to the PA, thereby enriching the Left, the Peres Foundation, the PA and PA business monopolies, and Leftist-owned investment funds, but not the Jewish owners. This also makes the Gush Katif and Shomron Jewish-owned land legally Palestinian Arab-owned for the first time in history. Property rights of Jew in the Jewish homeland, in Biblical Israel, are being abrogated by Jewish leaders.

The Sharon government will confiscate the Jewish-owned property from the Jewish owners and transfer the Jews to holding areas, and "compensate" them 10% of the value of the confiscated property, homes, farms, businesses, lost income, relocation costs.

The P.A., EU, UN, Russia, Arab States, World Bank, IMF and USA will not (and have not been asked to by the Sharon, Mofaz government) compensate the thousands of victims of Palestinian Terror, nor their families, for those who were murdered, maimed, paralyzed and burned in the past 5 years of PA-sanctioned Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah terrorism.


The New Orders

Arrests of Jewish Demonstrators

Beatings of Jewish protesters

Jail for Jewish Demonstrators

Jail for Jews who refuse to be transferred

Jail without trial for vocal opponents of Sharon, Mofaz and Mazuz

Confiscation without compensation of Jewish homes of those Jews who refuse transfer, or will not voluntarily sign over their homes to the Sharon government, or will not quietly walk out the door the day of transfer.

Demolition of Jewish homes, communities, hothouses, graveyards, synagogues in Jewish Settlements. [Sharon and Mofaz are now considering not demolishing them but giving the property as is to the PA because wealthy Arabs from Bahrain wish to pay billions to the PA for it].

Gush Katif will be a closed Military Zone sometime after February 20 and before July, preventing supporters from entering and making "Settlers" subject to search and arrest for violation of curfew.

A Special Military Force made up of exclusively secular, non-Jewish IDF and Police is being trained to act solely against their fellow citizens to forcefully transfer them. There will be four Special Forces to every Jewish "Settler" citizen.

Special caravans, remote holding areas and jails previously used for Palestinian Arab terrorists are being set up to incarcerate Jewish demonstrators, and Jewish citizen "Settlers" who refuse transfer.

The Quartet, the UN, Russia, the EU (European Union), and the USA support the "withdrawal from Gaza and part of the West Bank", but have insisted that it must happen "in a manner consistent with the Road Map."

"The Quartet reiterates its view that no party should undertake unilateral actions that could prejudge the resolution of final status issues such as the borders of a future Palestinian state, the right of Palestinian refugees to return home, West Bank settlements and the status of Jerusalem." (Statement made at the London Summit, March 1, 2005.)

In other words, Sharon's violation of the rights of ordinary Jewish citizens and his bringing Israel to the brink of internal civil strife gains nothing, certainly not peace. This deportation of Jews and the enlarging of the power of the PA does not mean secure borders for Israel. THE DISENGAGEMENT IS NOT A FINAL STEP BUT JUST A FIRST IN A SERIES OF JEWISH EXPULSIONS UNDER FIRE.

Sharon is aware that the rest of the West Bank and a part of Jerusalem is the next step, and the return of Palestinian refugees is in the works.
