The Nakba

THE NAKBA


Today 15 May 2001 is the anniversary of the “Nakba.” On this day in
1948 a band of terrorists declared the land formerly for centuries upon
centuries known as Palestine was now the State of Israel.

I say terrorists because the leaders of the Irgun and Lehi (the Stern
Gang) were terrorists. They were considered so by commanders of British troops
on the ground in Palestine, and they committed terrorists acts.

Yitzhak Shamir gave himself the nickname ‘Michael’ as in Michael
Collins. But he was just one link in a chain of cooperation between the
Zionist and the Nazis. Shamir worked with Nazis contacts in Beirut and offered
to have the Stern Gang attack the British who occupied Palestine at the time.

In 1944 the British Secretary of State, Lord Moyne, was assassinated in
Cairo By the Stern Gang. Shamir was later detained by the British and later
became a Prime Minister of Israel between 1983-84 and 1986-1992.

The leader of the Stern Gang, Avraham Stern stated to Gang members:

"The NMO(National Military Orgnization-mine), which is well-acquainted with
the goodwill of the German Reich government and its authorities towards Zionist activity inside Germany and towards Zionist emigration plans, is of the opinion
that:

1. Common interests could exist between the establishment of a new order in Europe in conformity with the German concept, and the true national aspirations
of the Jewish people as they are embodied by the NMO.

2. Cooperation between the new Germany and a renewed folkish-national
Hebraium would be possible and,

3. The establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis,
bound by a treaty with the German Reich, would be in the interest of a
maintained and strengthened future German position of power in the Near East.

Proceeding from these considerations, the NMO in Palestine, under the
condition the above-mentioned national aspirations of the Israeli freedom
movement are recognized on the side of the German Reich, offers to actively
take part in the war on Germany's side."

Mr. Brenner, notes ‘They hanged people all over Europe after WW II for
notes to the Nazis like these.’

"There is a country which happens to be called Palestine...a country
without people" Chaim Weismann 1st Israeli President. This comes from ‘Israeli
Confessions (YouTube http://bit.ly/cHtO0 )

This statement makes it appear that Palestine was completely empty. If so,
then Why were British troops stationed there?

Moshe Sharett, 2nd Israeli President stated "We have come to conquer a
Country from people inhabiting it". And that is the truth. This also means that
it was not a ‘War of Independence’ as Israeli history records, but in fact it
was a war of colonial conquest!

David Ben-Gurion, 1st Israeli Prime Minister "We should remove all Arabs
and take their place. I don't see anything immoral in it".

What kind of morality or ethical stance is that? To me it is no different
than what Hitler planned to the lands east of Germany; to take the land and repopulated it with Germans. That is ‘ethnic cleansing.’

And, the did so when they implemented Plan D (for Dalet). Israeli
militias, the Hagana, Irgun and Stern Gangs surrounded villages at night and
blew up houses while people slept.

After the houses were blown up the terrorist put explosives within the rubble
to stop Palestinians from returning to retrieve item of sentimental or other
value.

If I were Jewish I would not want to sleep or live in a house built on
such ground. The blood of the Palestinians cries out for justice.

In other places the Zionists separated men from women and even took away
boys as young as 15. In many places the men and boys were lined up against a
wall with their backs to their murderers (who lacked the courage to face them)
and they were shot dead.

If I were Jewish I would not want to sleep or live in a house built
on such ground. The blood of the Palestinians cries out for justice.

The Zionists militias poisoned water wells, destroyed food stocks, cut
down olive trees. Then, they drove the Palestinian people out at the point of
a rifle. Rapes took place and massacres. At Deir Yassin, on Friday April 9th,
1948 a most horrific butchery took place.

Menachem Begin led a group of Irgun terrorist (the word commandos seems too dignified). The New York Times later reported the final body count as being 254.

Begin was later the Sixth Prime Minister of the Apartheid State of Israel,
and along with Anwar Sadat, The Egyptian President was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1978.

During 1948 the General Assembly United Nations adopted the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. There are all kinds of lofty goals and re-affirmed values stated in the Declaration. One of them re-affirms the ‘Right of Return’
as it is known. This is guaranteed in Article 13 (2). But, somehow the world
ignores this right when it comes to the Palestinian people.

"There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a
former Arab population". Moshe Dayan, (former Israeli Defence/Foreign Minister).

The present state of Israel with its Apartheid wall was built from the
ethnic cleansing, murder, rape and terror of the Palestinian peoples who lived
on the land in peace for Millennia.

“Everybody has to move, Run and grab as many hilltops as they can to
Enlarge the Settlements because everything we take now will STAY OURS'.2 Ariel Sharon, (former Israeli Prime Minister).

The present state of Israel is an Apartheid regime, and the words of
their leaders show how it was conceived and created on land stolen just as in
the America’s. The native population was ethnically cleansed, called savages by
the butchers who massacred them…just as was and continues to be done in Israel.

"No one has the right to put the State of Israel on trial". Ariel Sharon, (former Israeli Prime Minister). You are wrong Mr. Sharon, and you are also a
war criminal.

“If I were an Arab leader I would NEVER make terms with Israel...That is natural: We have taken THEIR COUNTRY". David Ben-Gurion, (father of Israel).
This is true, and it is an admission of guilt. And it is also why the fight
will never end until the truth is recognized and justice is done…that is the Palestinian peoples will return to their former homes, fields and farms and businesses.

Martin Luther King once said "I have a dream that one day on the red hills
of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will
be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.”

May this be true of Jew and Palestinian in the future and may they dwell together in peace.
