It never began with a promise of co-existence. Where are you getting this gentle version of Zionism????
Read the words of the Zionist leaders and their Jewish leader allies during the settlement of the 1930s and 1940s. I'll sum them for you: Remove all current residents.
You're right, and I have read their words - they had aggressive genocidal intentions from the start. But my point is that the Palestinians were not aware of this, and they initially welcomed the Zionists, not realising how devious they were. Which is even worse, because in their characteristic "wolf in sheep's clothing" modus, they knew what they were out to do but acted otherwise - until they had a foothold, and then showed their true face.
That's true, the Palestinians weren't aware of the extent of it, although by the 30s they were getting some idea (the Zionist terror attacks were cause for alarm).
Ahad Ha'am wrote in *1891* about how to steadily move in until Jewish numbers dominated, and then it would be too late for the Palestinians who might object. But he wrote in Russia. Israel Zangwill wrote and lectured assiduously about "driving the Arabs out by the sword" with an early modern example of DARVO as his excuse ("tHeY hAvE aLwAyS hAtEd Us")--in 1904, but, this was in response to his distress touring Palestine in the late 1800s and hearing a "peacenik" of sorts propose to merely move in alongside and do some cultural overwriting. He stewed about it for years, until he came up with the idea of slaughter and ethnic cleansing. But he was writing and speaking in Britain and America.
Even the British weren't entirely aware of the Zionists' plans. How could they be--Jabotinsky had the plan of getting the Brits to create a Jewish brigade in WW1 and although they didn't station those soldiers in Palestine, if they had, Jabotinsky's plan was that these soldiers would then take Palestine after the war. Even though in 1920 the Brits caught him arming abd training an underground militia, they only exiled him, when they could have stuck by his prison sentence of 15 years. There were other instances al along in which they dismissed Zionist activities as isolated incidents or as mere impatience. It seems to me that if they'd understood the scope of what the Zionists had planned, they would not have treated the Zionists' demands so kindly.
I am getting dark elf vibes from these people, this would be a great plot for a dark fantasy novel; if the fucking thing isn't real and right in front of our eyes!
Well summarized case of indictment of Zionism as a death cult. And a reminder to all Christians that we cannot follow “the giver of Life” and support such an anti-life movement as Zionism. As a Christian, I’ve NEVER read in the Bible that Jesus said anything like, “Blessed are the warmongers, for they shall be killers of children.”

Yes, I was ready to point that out, it was the lie they used to get into Palestine, there are a lot of lying by them.
Exactly! Like sneaky rats...
Thank you for taking the time to write this perfect piece.
Thank you Jay!

So true. Zionism is anti-life and anti anything to do with humanity, hence anti the true essence of spirituality and religion.
An angry mob of Israelis harass and kick a journalist.
My press photo of the year, even though it's only May.
While there are already so many photos of war crimes this year, it's impossible to single out one in particular.
It certainly tells a story, one which the West likes to deny.
You are talking about a cancer to American and its greatness!
