  • Introduction

 

I remember, as do many other researchers and writers who attended that meeting with an Arab official , in a cultural hall, after the siege of Beirut(1982) and the invasion of Lebanon…. That the Arab official, who was a prominent one in the leadership of his country, said:" … I'm speaking among researchers and writers, and my responsibility urges me to be frank, because frankness leads each one of us to appreciate the serious situations we are in...And the way to face future…"

 

The official went on explaining, arguing, and mentioning dates and meetings…until he had reached a thunderous conclusion: "... The Zionist project has won, and the nationalistic Arab project has failed…"

 

Silence prevailed inside the hall, and the audience held their pens, and ceased from writing down their observations. For some of them it seemed that this idea was the core issue they were invited to hear about from that Arab Official.

 

True that he went on, after that, elaborating on his main idea:" the importance of self independence", but what he did almost urged the audience to leave the hall, even without asking permission.

Years, or may be a quarter of a century , after that speech had been made, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon achieved - with blood and sweat.. With struggle, patience, perseverance and garrisoning- the first victory over the machine of the Zionist army, in spite of its numerical and qualitative superiority, and all the prestige it had, before and after… and that was in may 2000.

This is only one side of the picture…

The other side of it, which is: dealing with the issue at hand (" the Zionist project between expansion and retraction"), requires much carefulness…

 

There is a great difference between facts and wishes...Between real event and day dreams. And the path of carefulness and information retrieval is undoubtedly the safest path that leads to realism and insight… otherwise; the result will be on more than going too far in pessimism... Or deeming daydreams an easy thing to have…

 

Historian Tomakolsky says:"… there are many predictions that proved to be right... Israeli did not become an ordinary state... it did not become a light for nations… It had been established – ironically- to free Jews from anti-Semitism, isolate them into a ghetto, and then provide them with shelter, but Israel came to be a militarily protected state, and a nation (a "territorial ghetto") located amid hostile neighbors… (It seems that) ominous predictions continuously recur, chasing the Zionists … (1)

 

For Zionists, life cycle turned adversely, and any unbiased observer can realize that the Zionist appeal had strived to move from the "Ghetto" to the "state", but brought nothing except a "Ghetto- to- be state", where the security obsession is the supreme one, and the engine of the political life, as well as the creator of generals and politicians alike, and the cause for their defeats.

 

"Security" is the "determinant", with respect to the kind of armament, the length and the height of the racist wall, as well as to settlement planning. It's also the agent that decides the results of factional and municipal elections. For some time, security, or "Ghetto effect", has been in the incentive which urges contemporary historians, especially, to discuss a title relevant to the whole Zionist project... That is the latter's "avail" for the state, as well as for the horizons of future…

 

I remember that I participated, years ago, in a conference held in Beirut, conducted by "Baheth Center for Studies"… In that conference, I cited a few extracts from the viewpoints of some "contemporary historians" who had set about to discuss the usefulness of the Zionist existence and the avail of going on with this "unicolor state"... and how the discussion was turned, during the conference, to a contest over the importance of these theses, especially at a time when the "age of compromises" had reached its peak.

 

In recent years, the Zionist society tried to face itself … and examine the abutments of its evolution... The meaning of the "functional entity" as a proxy vis-à-vis the original patron... The meaning of the existence of the patron, by military force, massed troops, sophisticated military machine, and giant carriers and systems, on territorial land and near power sources... and the role of the proxy... in the light of these developments...

 

.. the cost of the functional entity that lives on a crises, and had transformed from a "Holocaust Entity" , to an entity that elicits mercy, then to an entity that is based on fire power, clout, cruelty and racism..

 

The "fact" is the basic element in studying the Zionist project, whether expanding or retracting… and the factual information, which can be directly derived from the works of researchers, academics, scholars, historians, reporters, and military men who participated in establishing the "Zionist Entity", is the most objective or "unbiased"… and it’s the most trustable information, because it rings the alarm bell…

 

It can be said that the Herzliya conference has been drawing attention, since a while, to the seriousness of its researchers and deliberations, which has attracted many local and territorial parties...especially in the United States… likewise, it can be said that the Herzliya conference, since its fourth gathering, began seriously reconnoitering the future of the Zionist project. At the beginning, researches where no more than shy low voices, heard at the fifth conference , but they were very few and epitomized…even though, the aforementioned researchers were at the fore front of the works of the sixth Herzliya conference …(2)  which was held under the title :" the balance of the national security and strength in Israel", early in 2006 ( Jan-21-24/2006)… the surprise came much sooner than the objective observers had expected, with an impact much greater than the obsessions of most security officials.. less than seven months after the conference, the July 2006 war erupted… consequently, masks were torn , expectations came true, and the whole project was a subject for examination, which forced one of the founding pioneers of the Zionist entity, Shimon Perez, to say, under oath, in front of Winograd committee. That:" the solution …. Is to reach a compromise as soon as possible... otherwise, we'll be gambling away the future of the people of Israel..." (3)

 

Salem jubran- Nazareth says:" there is crystallizing trend that the questions loudly and clearly the ethics of the Zionist project, and even its democracy. Because, how can democracy go with rooting a people out of their land?"(4)

 

Abraham Borg... a former Knesset spokesman, published a book under the title:"... in order to triumph over Hitler", in which he questions painfully and amazingly the Zionist existence on the Palestinian land, advising each and every settler to …" acquire a foreign transport…"

 

Ialn Pape, a "new Israeli Historian" and a professor in Haifa University, published recently a book in English, about, "Racial Cleansing in Palestine". He issued his book in English because he new what reaction the book will provoke in case it was published in Hebrew.

 

The Book exposes, completely, with names, dates, and figures, the operations of racial cleansing that had been carried out by the "founding leaders" of the Zionist entity…

In short….

 

"…It was noticed, in the last decade, an increase in the number of Israeli university professors of political science, sociology, geography, history, and philosophy, who raise painful questions for political Zionism…(5)

 

For an objective discussion of the Zionist project, and the future horizons, between expansion and retraction, we depend on Zionist as well as foreign sources, in order to come close to the right information, because doing so would help us in approaching a situation where we can shape our view in terms of reluctant and confrontation…

Dr.Yaccov  M. Rapkin, upon demonstrating his summarized notion of the history of Zionism, wrote that  [ Zionism is] one of the most prominent "collective transformation" movements known in the twentieth century and it consequently represents a nationalistic movement that seeks to accomplish four objectives:

-          Transforming the transnational Jewish identity, after the pattern of other European nations…

-          Spreading a new local national language, not founded on the rabbinical or Torah Hebrew...

-          Transferring the Jews from the Diaspora to Palestine…

-          Establishing a political and economic control on Palestine.

 

Dr. Rapkin goes on approaching the subject of the Zionist project:"….Zionism was invented by intellectuals… or (quasi- intellectuals)… it was invented by the (party of intellect), who turned his back to the rabbis, anticipating modernity, and searching vigorously and rushingly for a remedy to the misery of his life…"(6).

 

No doubt that describing the Zionist project as "one of the most prominent collective transformation movements" is a description of a fact that is really embodied on the ground. But elaborating on this subject and saying that "Zionism represents a national movement" is a digression that contains some inaccuracy; because nationalism – according to all schools of sociology- encompasses an approbated language and a certain ethnical identity... While there is no real thing called "Jewish ethnicity" … furthermore, "Semitism" is a comprehensive, even if Zionist movement tried to encapsulate it inside a Jewish "ghetto"…

True that the author attempts to react to this "skepticism", by saying that " Zionism is not a religion, but rather a political movement that had been produced by the European nationalism of the nineteenth century … since its real and actual cradle lies in eastern Europe… but he goes on portraying it as a "national movement"…

 

Zionism is a political movement that had been dressed a popular costume at the time… within the national revivalist movement, and that required "gestures" as well as "incentives", and the two has been depended upon in order to transfer the "political movement" to a project with "roots" and "authenticity".

 

Vladimir Jabotinsky , the Russian writer and a Zionist leader, and the inspirer of all arrogant Zionists, from Begin, to Sharon and Netanyahu, said – according to his disciples- that he had received a letter from a young Jew, during the period of the Zionist project's first birth, in which the young man had written:"… our life is boring… and our hearts are empty… because there is no God among us…so , give us , sir, a God that is worth worshiping and sacrificing, and you will see what we can do.." .

This gesture plays an inner role, in the context of a mobilizing plan within the "Jewish" societies, interrelated only by religion, while differing in terms of other "national" standards... And the Zionist project needed a sounding event that could pave the way for another event, and then make way for a series of violent and barbaric events able to spread and capable of bearing the kind of additions that makes them "more" savage…

 

Every one remembers the holocaust ( La shoah)... and, in this respect, Dr. Yakov maintains that "... it was a fabricated program, the victims of which were millions of Jews who died during the world war two… and it is the essential event in the Zionist rhetoric…"(7).

 

It is the engine... the basic incentive behind most of the Jewish immigrations that lead to settlement in Palestine…

Also, everyone ignores the reason for Germany's enmity to Jews, before and after Hitler, as well as what fabricated the holocaust as a result.

 

Dr. NAACO cites the rabbinical authorities saying that "… the sin which gave forth the holocaust is Zionism… because it was the Zionist who provoked the nations with their arrogance, and it was them who disturbed the tranquility of Jews in the Diaspora, and who called for boycotting Germany economically, infuriating Hitler… Besides, it was the Zionists who dared announcing that they represent the world Jewry all over the globe…

 

Pious Jews described them as ignorant, because they organized the boycott against Germany in 1933, which caused damage to the German economy, and the result was the disaster that befell the Jews all over Europe: the Holocaust..."

 

This fabrication of the program... According to the rabbinical authorities... and declaration of the economic boycott against Germany for reasons the Zionism sought to conceal… can be verified by checking other fabricated events… and perhaps the most evident example here was the scandal of Lavon, the Zionist minister who used the Jews of Egypt in a series of explosions that affected American interests, in an attempt to hit more than one target at a time: to sabotage the American- Egyptian relations, and force the Egyptian Jews to migrate to Palestine…

 

But the "succession of barbaric events" was a necessary precondition, because the completion of the Zionist project would not have been possible without such events…

 

Ilan Pape says:

"… on December 10, 1947, Ben- Gurion was leading an assembly of the consultative body, a body that supervised the "racial cleansing" process… in that meeting , he listened to reports indicating that the Palestinian civilized elite was leaving their homes to writer residence in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt… it was a typical reaction on the side of the civilized elite at times of crises… leaving to another place until the situation is settled… but when they left their homes, they intended to return later… if it were not for the Israelis, who kept them from going back…

 

Keeping people from returning back to their homes, after a short stay abroad are absolute expulsion… like any other action against local residents, with the aim of displacing them…"

 

Pape continues: "… Ezea Danin was disappointed … because he demanded adopting a much more violent policy…"

"… what do you mean by violent actions?" asked Ben- Gurion…

… Destroying means of transportation (buses, trucks that carry crops and agricultural products, private cars and vehicles), sinking down the boats (the they used for fishing in Java), closing down their shops, and preventing them from transporting crude materials to their factories…

 

It seems that the suggestion appealed to Ben- Gurion… so, he wrote to Sharet, three days later, explaining the general idea: "… the Palestinian society will be left to our mercies … and the Jews will be able to deal with them the way they wish… including starving them to death…"(8)

 

The fabrication of a program must be met by perpetuating massacres…

The first stage of fabrication process aimed at eliciting sympathy and mobilizing the immigrants, of whom some were afraid, while others were in need of a "God" who van lead the Zionist project, not withstanding the size of sacrifices…

 

The second stage aimed at displacing the local residents- the people who lived on that land, according to the "paradigm of ethnic cleansing"…

 

The most recent, among those who had followed the aforementioned paradigm wasn’t Abraham Stern, the leader of the Stern terrorist gang, but David Ben- Gurion, the first supervisor of the entity's Zionist project, and his disciples. Moshe Dayan, Ezra Wiseman, Yitzhak Rabin, Rafael Etan, and Ariel Sharon, and a long list of racial sadist names that included politicians , generals, topographers, photographers, journalists, reporters, experts in water resources as well as informants, who were all engaged in the process of fabricating massacres, tasking pictures of them, and then sending these pictures to the press, in order to circulate them, after the Palestinian society had been "left to our mercies", according to Ben- Gurion…

 

"Brutal", "more brutal", and "much more violent" events guaranteed the success of the Zionist project, which represented an invention by the Zionist propagandists who had laid the foundation and conditioned it to meet the growing colonial projects and the expansion of World War II triumphant, who embarked on seizing land booties…

 

The most dangerous threat for the Zionist project, which –in spite of offensive " charge" that attempts to tame Arab formalities, as a whole, in order to reach a collective agreement that can guarantee this project for years to come- still suffers from unacceptability, is the threat of the Zionist society itself, which had been exposed to itself, after it had uncovered its reality through practices and allegations, and through the results on the ground…

 

Shortly before the July 2006 war, "BIG" group conducted a study in the United States, the foremost patron of the Zionist project, in order to achieve several objectives, the most important of which is "to understand how the Americans view Israel…"

 

The abovementioned study concluded that: ((… the picture imprinted in the minds of those engaged about Israel, is the one of a weird military/ militant country, in which men control of the society, and people are different and more extreme that the Americans, in a much harsher atmosphere… the picture of Israel in the American imagination is marked by two characteristics: "conflict" and "religion", while the American perception of Israel is void of any human element…)).

 

…and the purpose is that "… we wanted to garnish the profile of Israel…"(9).

by going back to the origin of the existence of "present entities" that formed states ( states still disputing on borders and creating committees to demarcate frontiers), one can find entities established to tear down a nation, or prevent the birth of territorial or pivotal states, as happened to Syria in the aftermath of Sykes- Pico treaty. One can also find entities that play functional role, and the most obvious example in this regard is the "colonial entity- Israel…"

 

 From the beginning, the two parties know the nature of the function in question, and agree upon it: each of the creator and the creature perceives the intention that the other harbors…

The entity's "creator" understands that the period of existence, for the creature, is open, as long as the objective still exists and the active creature performs its jobs well… as for the latter, it conceals a will to benefit- as much as possible- from the creator's need of it's being…and it always has to remind the creator of this need, even overtly… in this regard, many intelligence/ security events had been uncovered, the most famous of it was the "Lavan  scandal", in Egypt , in 1954, and the case of Zionist spies in the United States of America ( i.e. Jonathan Pollard)…

 

However, the "creature entity" understands that things do not always bide well, or go on safety, because "the span of time" many end suddenly, as was the case with the "entity" of East Germany, where the "creator" was no more able of affording the costs of continuation… the creator itself ceased to exist… and so did what was called the entity of East Germany… and it happened so suddenly, to the degree that this "entity" created an absorption problem for "West Germany"…the unified Germany …even though, "West" Germany was able to overcome the problem, for many reasons, perhaps the most prominent among them was the "belonging" to a "one German nation"… while Yugoslavia could not hold together, and disintegrated into ethnic entities that still suffer from inability to find the components of existence in the case, or cases of separation, to be definite…

 

"The Zionist entity" had been established to be the place where the Zionist movement's "through" could meet the desire of the west, in terms of protecting its vital interests… and to be a military base that forms a society able to "benefit" from the overly magnified impetus of the "guilt complex", which originated towards the Jews due to the exaggerated of the holocaust… (10).

 

In many aspects, "spearhead" [policy] is more profitable and veiling, and less costly than the scandals of sending western troops to our region, to protect western interests which evolved and developed, beginning with the safeguarding of the land and sea routes' network, and ending with the preservation of oil sources, facing the tide, and guaranteeing the continuous flow of power…and, at the same time, striking off the aspirations of the nation in terms of liberation and unification…

   

Pioneers, in the Arab and Islamic nation, and among the Palestinian people as well, identified the function of this entity, and realized that the Palestinian cause is the central one for the nation… for the mission assigned to this entity is to stand in the face of the nation… the whole nation… and Palestinian was chosen for its strategic and vital locations on the map of the Arab world… with regard to the "myth", it could have been forged conveniently in terms of the chosen place…had it not been for the convergence of interests, it might have been possible to solve the problem of the Jews in another place ( ex. Kenya)…

 

The pioneers of the nation early knew that the Zionist entity's function was directed against its aspirations, unity, liberation and wealth… hence, the Arab political thought kept dealing with the Palestinian causes as central to the nation, until institualizing of the compromising thought, when it came to reflect submission to pressures, or conformity with pragmatism or real politics , or with the saying that politics are the " art of possible"… so, the term that rolled down from the climax, the "central cause", described politically and conceptually as the Arab- Zionist conflict, to the Arab- Israeli dispute.. and its widely known that a dispute warrants looking into the claims of each side ( in relation to this dispute), while conflict harbors the meaning of expulsion, replacement and settlement… then the term was replaced by another: " the peace process"… and, according to this term, Camp David Agreements were signed… needless to elaborate further on this subject, we come to the Oslo accord , where the Palestinian land occupied in 1967 was not considered as an occupied land, but a "disputed land"… and the rest of the rolling down process is well known, whereas it came to subdividing the divisions and fractionalizing the fractions and the percentages of the area under discussion, not for withdrawal, but for redeployment, and then land swap…

We do not think there is even one Arab who doubts that America and the West are pressing hard- with settlements and instructions- to accomplish agreements with the Zionist enemy, and that these agreements are not to the good of the Arabs and Palestinians….

 It became clear enough … that all these pressures for settlement- submission, to be exact- are exerted with the aim of securing " the functional entity"- the Zionist colonial occupation, after it had been evident that the Zionist project was becoming costly rather than profitable… and that this project is one of the most important reasons to answer George Bush question:" why do they hat us?".. [Why do they hate America and the west?]…

On the other hand, the positioning of American military bases in the Arab region (with more troops than of those on the American land), and the presence of the headquarters of each of the fifth fleet in Bahrain, the central command in Qatar and the quick Intervention/ preemptive strike in Kuwait, made the function of the Zionist entity able to be " reconsidered".. Not to use another overemphasizing expression…

The functional existence of the "settler" entity, as a product of the Zionist project, is in a stage of reconsideration, no matter how strong this entity is…this strength has become one of the motives behind the reconsideration process, in addition to what we have mentioned above… since, after discovering the fact that it was being used by the Americans, this strength has become a burden for America, itself, that faces now an internal financial crisis in terms of financing the operations of its own troop in Iraq and Afghanistan…

 

How, then, would it look in terms of affording the entity's forces all through the year, knowing that the latter's function has been called in question, and the entity is behind all that hatred to the west, because of all the events that put it face to face with terrorism…

I entered Google on the net, and searched for any essay or study addressing the retraction of the Zionist entity … the site showed 635 articles and researches, in addition to hidden studies and essays, in the forefront of which was a study published by Harvard University…

 

What does this abundance of studies mean?

We believe that the answer to this question lies in two reasons:

-          the creator of this functional entity is no more under the impression of the entity's security is still guaranteed, as had previously been the case, and that this entity is facing an ever increasing threat…the previous need of this entity has decreased to various degrees, and the final disposal of the entity us not due, yet. Rather, this falls in the category of the onerous defeat, which can never be allowed to happen…

hence the creator rushed to guarantee the security of the functional entity by proposing settlements…or by activating the peace process, until this became the compass that indicates how weak or strong this entity is, or assesses the threat or stability of the creator's interests in the region…

 

-          the second reason ( we made it second to clear out research of the charge of being too exaggerated) is that the resistance grew stronger, became more competent, and achieved victories never counted in the strategic calculations of the entity's "creator", nor of the entity itself…above all, was the generalization , deepening, and rooting of the culture of resistance…in Palestine, Lebanon , and Iraq… and this culture is prone to expand and to become something else, if the horizon still seemed block in its nations… moreover, this culture will be capable of causing turbulence with uncontrolled effects, if the states ( where it exists) went on dealing with the American Middle East policy from an inferior position, and not from the position of the one owns the land and has the will…

 

It was the resistance who triumphed in south Lebanon, in May 2006, over the legendary army lead by Ehud Barak, then the prime minister, who has been brought back again, now, as a savior after the July 2006 defeat…

 

It was the resistance who caused the forced evacuation of Gaza strip. To the 1967 borders without any negotiations or bargains, in the age of the Zionist army's bulldozers… and in the age of Ariel Sharon, one of the generals and "Kings of Israel", in 2005.

This evacuation initiated the "breaking down" of the Zionist project…

We all remember the term "Eretz Israel", and recall the statements that Sharon made at the time of construction of the first settlement in Gaza…

 

For Sharon, the settlement was as much important as symbolic as was a Tel-Aviv for every Jew… We also remember that Sharon is the one who could not bear the daily pressure exerted by the resistance in Gaza around the clock… and who chose to run away, pleading with some Arab states to show consent and with the United States to exert tremendous pressure, in order to guarantee a quiet evacuation, without pursuit ( out of his fear of a recurrence of what happened to Antoine Lahd's army in 2000), of the settlements and occupied areas… to recoil again inside the 1967 borders, disappearing behind a wall ( eleven meters high in some places), and twisting as a snake on the Palestinian land, to announce two important events: … the first was that racist Zionism and the south African apartheid have been brought back to life, and the second was the existence of a security threat that could not be pushed away by conventional means only…

 

At the sixth Herzliya conference, early in 2006, Major general (res.) Geora Eiland, the head of the national Security Council (11), interposed a speech under the title "where are we today? What is the current situation of Israel?"... In which he said:

((… we have come to this situation because of our mistakes… the other factor is that the world wishes to end this conflict… and to end it fast… the second reason is that the conflict costs the world huge amounts of money… and the world is getting sick of that… the conflict serves the interests of troublesome entities in different countries… and when Tony Blaire says that the terrorists who attacked London advanced as an excuse the Arab-Israeli conflict, it means a problem fir Israel…))

 

That was early in 2006… but Tony Blaire stood in Ankara, on December 16, 2006 to say:"…if you ask any official in the world about the most important thing to bring about peace and understanding, in general, he would say: (.. it is reactivating the peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians )"(12).

 

Certainly, Tony Blaire did not say that in order to please the Arabs… but " out of fear of the threat (that this conflict poses) to the capitals of the world"…believing, just like his ally George Bush, that it was no more possible to face the increasing security threat to the functional settler entity, unless with a settlement that can besiege the resistance in all its Arab localities, especially Palestine, and protect the moderate allies from any harm…

        

Shimon Peres, "The ninth president", said in front of the Winograd committee:"…Imagine that, after five to ten years from now, the Palestinian terrorist movement will have acquired rockets similar to that of Hezbollah… what would happen to us then? …"… Peres concluded something similar to Blair's confession:"… the solution is to protect ourselves, to protect our generations by heading straight towards a compromise with the Palestinians; otherwise we would be jeopardizing the future of the Jewish people…"

 

Interestingly , the Sharon government had set up –before Sharon went into a coma- a specialized committee that consisted of a military academic and strategic elite, to reconsider the military doctrine; something that a state usually embarks on at crossroads, or under formidable circumstances, or perhaps , every two or three decades… the committee concluded its work with a report to the prime Minister's office, purporting, in short, to confirm that the important thing was not having the troops deployed along the border lines…because the next war will be fought with missiles launched at areas in the depth of the most important thing was to identify and attack what takes place deep beyond the border line.

 

That was early in 2006… then came the July 2006 war, which presented Hezbollah forces as a contemporary resistance that meets the requirements of the modern war, and even merits a qualification as a "post- modernity resistance", according to military doctrine terminology… the resistance triumphed over the enemy, who had established the theory of "carrying the battle to the enemy's territory"… it beat the enemy in "swift knockout" theory, and in the prolonged war theory, and also in its intelligence field, and in terms of ballistic, naval and ground forces preparedness.

 

All that will persist vividly in the mentality of the remaining propagandists committed to the Zionist project, which was defeated as a result of the forced evacuation of Gaza, and in the most protracted confrontation with the Lebanese resistance lead by Hezbollah.

Remarkably, the seventh Herzliya conference incorporated among its axes of research, an axis to discuss features of the "rejection of Israel's right to exist", consequently, Haaretz daily published an article in which one could read:

((… The avail of Israel's existence , as a state, is no more an exclusive discourse between extremists or enemies, now, discussing this existence has widely become a controversial matter inside University campus in Europe and America…))(13).

 

During the seventh conference, as described by the speakers, in most of their introductory speeches, many academics and politicians from Canada, the United States and the Zionist entity alternately attempted to approach this "painful" subject…

Professor Baniaz litzberger, of Haifa university law school , said:" I shall begin, specifically, with a talk about the slopes of the slides… because at the top there are viewpoints, similar to the criticism directed at Israel, part of which is right and interesting, and these viewpoints reflect the public discourse going on inside Israel, but, down the slope, there are two elements, and from my discussions with colleagues in Europe, I knew that these two elements are ever growing, they are:" Anti- Israelism", and "Anti-Semitism". In some cases, the discussion of anti-Israelism remains separate from Anti-Semitism… in other cases, the discussion is the same without differentiation, and Anti- Israelism overlaps with Anti-Semitism.

 

The Denial of Israel's right to exist in certainly "Anti-Israel"… discussing this right, since the establishment of the state, or as for the horizons of the future, carries the same meaning, which is :" the denial of Israel's right to exist"(14).

 

"Splinters" of the Zionist project fly in all directions, as a result of its breakdown and retraction. Several months after this interposition, and in an important statement, British academics made public the academic boycott against the entity's universities and professors, not because of this interposition, but because British academics had discovered that the colonial entity is "racist", exactly as did Jimmy Carter, the former American President who signed Camp David Accords with Menachem Begen and Anwar Sadat in 1979, when he discovers –late- that the entity is racist entity… (See his book: "Palestine Peace and not Racism")…

 

Haaretz report tried to proceed with publishing the Jewish historians' views and the opinions of European authors, intellectuals and academics... And indeed, some of these opinions have been published, including an essay of the well known historian Tony Jaddet, who threw half of the letters of Israel's name the sea…

     

The above mentioned historian suggested the establishment of a "bi-national state", after "invalidating Israel", the state with single nationalism, when he said: "… Israel came to the world very late… the idea of the Jewish state, itself (the idea of a state in which Jews and Jewish religion enjoy distinguished and exclusive rights), came from another place and another age…"

 

Of course… the Jewish historian put forward his findings after a review of the history and foundations of the "national state"…But he stopped just one line before the line with which he should have ended his story… "Racist" is the only description that suits the grass root bases calling for a "state where Jews and the Jewish religion enjoy special and exclusive privileges"… This is the Racist state…

 

We understand why Tony Jaddet stopped only one line before presenting a rational conclusion … Accusations are set, ranging from the charge of being "anti-state" to the charge of being "anti- Semitism"… even if the author were Jewish…(15).

 

The retraction of the Zionist project … the break in its joint of "Greater Israel"… and the shrinking behind the racist wall…are subjects of internal discussion in the Jewish medium… on the top of the mountain… on the slope…and among Europe politicians… but also among European, American and world academics…

In our research, we chose to rely mostly on the viewpoints of scholars or former officers and politicians in the Zionist entity, in addition to the opinions of some prominent international politicians, without depending- not even in a single place- on any Arab study or research, in order to sty closer to objectivity…

 

Finally, it is important to point out that the retraction of the Zionist project came as a result of resistance of the Zionist project came as a result of resistance… the culture of resistance…the confrontational stance of the resistance…the fighting with resistance… the generalization of the resistance… and the continuity of the spirit of steadfastness among the people of the resistance…

 

Without this… the creator of the entity will tend to show its strength and arrogance…and the entity itself will resume the process of self- reconstruction…

 

Only the resistance is capable of promoting the "Arab renaissance project" and delivering the "death blow" to the Zionist project…without the course of the resistance … no talk about the future...
