Rootless Cosmopolitan - By Tony Karon: May 15, 11:24am 5 reviews blogs, middle-east, israel, zionism, tony-karon
http://www.tonykaron.com/; The curious irony of history is that while the Zionist movement managed to successfully create a nation state in the Middle East against considerable odds, that movement is dead — the majority of Jews quite simply don’t want to be part of a Jewish nation-state in the Middle East. And so the very purpose of Israel has come into question. Jewish immigration to Israel is at an all-time low, and that’s unlikely to change. In a world where persecution of Jews is increasingly marginal, the majority of Jews prefer to live scattered among the peoples, rather than in an ethnic enclave of our own. That’s what we’ve chosen. So where does this leave Israel? Tony Karon

Annies letters: May 7, 6:46am 2 reviews blogs, middle-east, israel, palestine, zionism
http://annies-letters.blogspot.com/; Next week is the 60th anniversary of Palestine's grief and Annie's Letters is a blog that fills in the blanks for those who care to look past the celebrations of Israel's birth -- which are being trumpeted everywhere. The 60th anniversary of Al-Nakba: the disaster of the people of Palestine. On this date, May 15th 1948, we, the people of Palestine began our long and painful journey into exile. Dispossessed from home and homeland, this was the start of the refugee `problem' that still exists today. So as Israel "celebrates", we mourn the disgraceful fact that more than 3 million Palestinians still languish as refugees in squalid conditions in what were supposed to be "temporary camps" in Palestine and throughout the Arab world. The world seems to have "forgotten" the promise made to them, enshrined in International Law and United Nations Resolution 194, The Right of Return of Palestinian refugees to the homes, lands, and villages which they were forced to leave. My own grandmother and the grandparents of my children were forcibly expelled from their ancestral village of Lifta, leaving their homes, lands, and belongings as they fled in fear. The villages empty homes were looted of their contents before holes were blown in the roofs and floors of these houses by the Zionist forces . . ." -- Mike Odetalla

An invention called the Jewish people - Haaretz - Israel News: Mar 3, 4:54am 3 reviews judaism, israel, zionism, jewish-history
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/959229.html; Great to see a taboo subject being raised here by Ha'aretz, Tom Segev and Israeli historian Shlomo Zand. The claims of Arthur Koestler that the Ashkenazi (European) Jews who dominate Israel today were not in fact Semites were supposedly laid to rest decades ago. I continue(d) to believe he may have been right. Obviously the political agenda in disproving and silencing such claims is huge, since the "right to return" is a fundamental of Israel's existence as a state. But what if there never was a Jewish people, and what if they never were exiled? Professor Zand raises questions that need to be taken seriously and of course they will anger the hell out of Israelis and Zionists.

Israel and racism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Aug 20, 2007 12:27pm 1 review middle-east, israel, zionism, palestinians
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_racism; What Israeli leaders have
said about Palestinians

(a sampling from the page)

"The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more
you give them meat, they want more."
Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel at the time - August 28, 2000.
Reported in the Jerusalem Post August 30, 2000

"When we have settled the land, all the Arabs
will be able to do about it will be to scurry
around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle."
Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence
Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.

"How can we return the occupied territories?
There is nobody to return them to."
Golda Meir, March 8, 1969

"There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed."
Golda Meir, June 15, 1969

David Ben Gurion in 1948 (no source given):
"We must do everything to ensure they
( the Palestinians) never do return."

Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians
will never come back to their homes:
"The old will die and the young will forget."

"We should prepare to go over to the offensive.
Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria.
The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is
artificial and easy for us to undermine.
We shall establish a Christian state there, and then
we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate
Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us.
We then bomb and move on and
take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai."
Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff.
From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael
Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.

"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages.
You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I
do not blame you because geography books no longer exist ...
There is not a single place built in this country that did not
have a former Arab population."
Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion,
Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969
