GAZA DISENGAGEMENT MEANS WE MUST LOOK AT HISTORY

By Felix Quigley May 12 , 2005

The situation facing Jews in Israel is extremely serious.

First of all threats from the Arab and Islamist world: Since the PLO was founded by Arafat, and based on the pro-Nazi Arab Higher Committee, the aim of ‘Palestinianism’ has been to end the state of Israel totally. In this regard, and despite what is being promoted by the major powers such as the USA and Russia, nothing has changed.

Holocaust denier (he gained his doctorate doing so) Abbas simply thinks that things like suicide bombing is bad publicity and he reckons he can end Israel by means of outside pressure and armed attacks.

Then there are the continual attacks on Israel from these major powers who set up the Road Map.

The Arabs have continually said that they will take anything in the shape of land offered to them but they see this only as a stage. The final stage is to smash Israel completely and replace it with one ‘Palestinian’ state.

Once Sharon saw this and argued against this. Now he has caved in to American and EU pressure.

Arguing just a couple of years ago against a Palestinian terrorist state Sharon won the election from Labour who argued the opposite. Having won the election on that programme Sharon very quickly turned 180 degrees, adopted the programme of Labour and proceeded to announce the forced withdrawal from Gaza.

In making this about turn he fired Cabinet Ministers who did not toe the line.

Then began an underhand campaign against the Jewish ‘settlers’ in Gaza and the West Bank. Sharon has turned to secular Jew-haters in the army to prepare the forced evacuation. Special jails have been prepared. It is estimated that they have 4 army personnel to every Jew being evacuated.

Meanwhile as Jewish opinion changes as it sees what is going on and because of the brave, peaceful and democratic door to door campaigning of the Yesha Jews time is running out for Sharon and Peres. The latter is desparate to drive forward with the forced evacuation as soon as possible.

As and if Jews leave the areas where Jews have lived from eternity they will be replaced by members of Hamas and the other terror groups who have sent suicide murderers into Israel and murdered countless Jews.

It will be a completely Judenfrei area. It will also be Islamist.

At this website www.isill.com and also at www.IrelandSupportsIsrael.com we will plot these developments very carefully.

I believe firmly in the rights of Jews to live anywhere in the world, to have their homes and to raise their children in peace, and generally like the rest of us try to enjoy life. This right to live applies especially to Israel and to Jerusalem where they have lived for 4000 years.

It is in the course of these struggles and in experiences such as this forced evacuation in Gaza that a new type of leadership will emerge in Israel and in the Diaspora. In other words the experiences can bring enlightenment if we have got discussion and draw lessons.

Please see articles 1 to 10 which launched www.IrelandSupportsIsrael.com for material and for an explanation as to why this leadership inside Israel, with its connections in the Diaspora, betrays its own people and the aspirations of Jews. In particular read Article 10, especially towards the end when I note a few very important things about the leadership of Mapam:

(What is the Israeli Communist Party? Some notes on reading a recent document) is the name of the article.

The present political tendency around Sharon has its roots in the Stalinist Communist Party and in the reformist Social Democratic Parties who were in the leadership of Israel in 1948-9 and before.

Betrayal was not new to these types of leaders.

Just 15 years before there had taken place the greatest berayal ever in the history of mankind: Hitler was allowed to assume power, along with his Nazi apparatus, without a shot being fired to stop him.

That type of political leadership was brought into Israeli politics and has remained.

Sharon was brought up in a family who were specifically attached to that dead-end type of Stalinist and labourist politics. Their secularism was the secularism of the Marxists, a crude hatred of Judaism. In other words it was not true secularism at all, more a self-hating persecutory mechanism. That was their politics. I am sure they were brave and intelligent people and devoted to the cause as they saw it. But that was their politics.

I have seriously studied this history and these issues and thus I have not been surprised by the treachery of Sharon’s tendency. For one thing anybody with even a cursory knowledge of Israeli history will know that it is not the first time. This is a continuation of the great struggles in the 40s when the Revisionist Movement was also persecuted by the Jewish Establishment. What became known as ‘The Hunting Season’ springs to mind.

Finally, this battle against the Sharon leadership, literally for the survival of Israel as a state, cannot possibly be won simply by an activist agenda. The struggle is throwing up vital issues from the past which have been hidden by a type of anti-intellectualism inside the Israeli leadership over many years. These issues must be once more examined and conclusions drawn.
