HISTORY

continued...

The Jewish dead cannot be brought back to life and neither can the Palestinian massacred be resurrected.David Ben Gurion said, "Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves… politically, we are the aggressors and they defend themselves.. .The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country…".
Palestine is a land that has been occupied and emptied of its people. Its cultural and physical landmarks have been obliterated and replaced by tidy Hebrew signs. The history of a people was the first thing eradicated by the occupiers. The history of the indigenous people has been all but eradicated as though they never existed. And all this has been hailed by the world as a miraculous act of God. We must recognise that Israel 's existence is not even a question of legality so much as it is an illegal fait accompli realised through the use of force while supported by the Western powers. The UN missions directed at Israel in attempting to correct its violations of have thus far been futile.

"The [Jewish] children of Hebron are just like Hitler's youth."

I've talked with Palestinians. I have yet to meet a Palestinian who hasn't lost a member of their family to the Israeli Shoah, nor a Palestinian who cannot name a relative or friend languishing under inhumane conditionsin an Israeli prison. Time and time again, Israel is cited for human rights violations to no avail. On a recent trip to Israel , I visited the refugee camps inhabited by a people who have waited 52 years in these 'temporary' camps to go home. Every Palestinian grandparent can tell you the name of their village, their street, and where the olive trees were planted. Their grandchildren may never have been home, but they can tell you where their great-grandfather lies buried and where the village well stood. The press has fostered the portrait of the Palestinian terrorist. But the victims who rose up against human indignity in the Warsaw Ghetto are called heroes. Those who lost their lives are called martyrs. The Palestinian who tosses a rock in desperation is a terrorist.
Two years ago I drove through Palestine and watched intricate sprinkler systems watering lush green lawns of Zionist settlers in their new condominium complexes, surrounded by armed guards and barbed wire in the midst of a Palestinian community where there was not adequate water to drink and the surrounding fields were sandy and dry. University professor Moshe Zimmerman reported in the Jerusalem Post (30 April, 1995), "The [Jewish] children of Hebron are just like Hitler's youth."

This is how they are.
Cruel hard people. They have little respect for anyone who is not Jewish.

Do you all realise that EVERY PERSON in Israel is in the army. The RESERVISTS have a code and they have to listen to the radio and they hear their call up, or they get it by text message.

Their women are tough too.

She was forced into a patrol vehicle with several soldiers, two carrying shovels, and they drove off into the dunes. When the girl realised what was about to happen she tried to run, but only made it a few paces before she was shot by a Sergeant Michael.

Her body was buried in a grave less than a foot deep.

A few days later the battalion commander, Yehuda Drexler, asked Moshe if he had carried out an order to return the girl to her village.

"They killed her," replied Moshe. "It was a shame to waste the petrol." He was ordered to write a report. Ha'aretz has obtained a copy.

It said: "In my patrol on 12.8.49 I encountered Arabs in the territory under my command, one of them armed. I killed the armed Arab on the spot and took his weapon. I took the Arab female captive. On the first night the soldiers abused her and the next day I saw fit to remove her from the world."

He and most of the soldiers at the outpost were tried in secret. Some said they were carrying out their commander's orders. The military judges rejected that line of defense. Moshe denied rape. "Morally speaking, it was impossible to sleep with such a dirty girl," he told the court.

He was acquitted of rape but convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison. The judges likened his stated willingness "to murder even women and children in cold blood" to "Hitler's methods in France".

Nineteen other soldiers received light sentences of between one and three years, mostly for "negligence in preventing a crime".

The appeal court reduced their sentences, saying: "At the time there was a general feeling of contempt for the life of Arabs ... and sometimes wanton events occurred in this sphere. All this helped create an atmosphere of 'anything goes'.

"We are convinced that this atmosphere existed at the Nirim outpost, too."

But the government and army understood the shame that would fall on the armed forces if the girl's fate became known to wider Israeli society, so the murder and trial were classified as secret.

The case was briefly resurrected at the trial in 1956 of Israeli soldiers and police officers who murdered 43 Arab civilians in Kafr Qassem, to help establish the precedent that there is no defence in obeying illegal orders.

Then it disappeared from view again.

Several years later members of a kibbutz near the Nirim base noticed that the wind had uncovered a small hand.

For 54 years the fate of a young Bedouin girl who disappeared in the Negev desert was relegated to rumour and a single entry in the diary of David Ben-Gurion, the prime minister of the fledgling Israeli state.

"It was decided and carried out: they washed her, cut her hair, raped her and killed her," he wrote.

After that the case became one of the state's earliest secrets, and no more than hearsay passed between soldiers.

Now
the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz has used previously classified army
documents to reveal the full story of what Mr Ben-Gurion called a
"horrific atrocity".

In August 1949, an army unit stationed at
Nirim in the Negev shot an Arab man and captured a Bedouin girl with him. Her name and age remain unknown, but she was probably in her mid-teens.

In the following hours she was taken from the hut
and forced to shower naked in full view of the soldiers. Three of the men then raped her.

After the Sabbath meal the platoon commander, identified by Ha'aretz as a man called Moshe who had served in the British army during the second world war, proposed a vote on what should be done with her.

One option was to put her to work in the outpost's kitchen.

Most of the 20 or so soldiers present voted for the alternative by chanting: "We want to fuck". The commander organized a rota for groups of his men to gang rape the girl over the next three days. Moshe and one of his sergeants went first, leaving the girl unconscious. Next morning, she complicated matters by protesting about her treatment. Moshe told one of his sergeants to kill her.

The cost in direct loss of infrastructure from the recent Israeli military campaign in Gaza has been placed at $1.1bn.
Figures released by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) place the cost in destroyed housing throughout Gaza at $200m, while the estimated cost of clearing up the debris is $600m.
Around 4,000 buildings have been destroyed in Gaza, while another 20,000 have been severely damaged. Some 50,000 Gazans have been left homeless by the fighting and 400,000 do not have running water.
The PCBS says the Gazan economy is losing almost $4m a day as a result of the damage.
Over 1,300 Palestinians died in the three-week campaign, while 13 Israelis were killed.

THE PALESTINIANS

By
JONATHAN DIMBLEBY

''To pay attention to Palestinian accounts of their own history, to record the impact upon them of the rise of Zionism, to relate their stories of the exodus, the exile and the resurgence - is for the reporter To isk finding himself in the dock, charged by an articulate lobby with being an enemy of the people of Israel, if not an anti-Semitic racist.
The charge is pressed with a noisy vehemence, reinforced - for lack of evidence - by a particularly virulent form of moral blackmail which invites public opinion to perceive Zionism in terms of the Holocaust, filtering the facts of the Middle East through the tears of disgust, outrage and guilt which the bestialities of Nazism arouse in all civilized men

You really do not like the Jews, huh?

On the 10th. April 1948, the head of the International Red Cross delegation in Palestine drove into a small Arab village outside Jerasulem. He was met by a detachment of a Jewish organisation called the Irgun.

''All of them were young, some even adolescents, men and women armed to the teeth: revolvers, machine-guns, hand-grenades, and also cutlasses in their hands, most of them still blood stained. A beautiful young girl with criminal eyes,showed me hers still dripping with blood; she displayed it like a trophy.'

It is always dangerous to stumble upon an atrocity. Jacques de Reynier was fortunate to emerge alive with his official Red Cross report of what happened the previous night in the village of Deir Yassin.

''I found some bodies cold. Here the 'cleaning up' had been done with machine-guns, then hand-grenades. It had been finished off with knives, anyone could see that. The same thing in the next room, but as I was about to leave, I heard something like a sigh. I looked everywhere, turned over all the bodies, and eventually found a litle foot, still warm. It was a little girl of ten, mutilated by a hand-grenade, but still alive....everywhere it was the same horrible sight.''

Altogether 250 men, women and children hd been butchered to death. The survivors, at the point of hysterical collapse from shock and grief, recorded their hideous experience for the British authorities: families had been lined up and shot down in a barrage of machine-gun fire; young girls raped; a pregnant mother was first slaughtered and then had her stomach cut open by her murderer with a butcher's knife; a girl who tried to remove the unborn child from the woman's womb was shot down Some of the Irgun fighters slashed their victims to pieces with cutlasses. All of this was meticioiusly recorded by the British authorities, even to the detail observed by Assistant-General Richard Cutling, the British interrogating officer, that ; 'women had bracelets torn from their arms and rings from their fingers, and parts of some of the women's ears were severed in order to remove ear-rings.'

There was no place for the Palestinians: the Jews did not need the Arabs. Not only did the Zionists speak their own language, follow their own separate faith and enjoy a different culture, but they also insulated themselves from the Arab world in every way possible. They formed their own industries, trade unions, banks, schools, hospitals - and from all of these Palestinians were carefully excluded. When the Jewish Agency bought Arab land, the new settlers to whom it was bequeathed expelled the Arab families who had farmed it for generations, thus depriving them of their means of subsistence. The Histradruth ( the Zionist trade union) forbade Arabs to join, and picketed any Jewish employer who took on Arab labor. These employers who persisted were branded as traitors.

The leader of the aggressively exclusive Histradruth wasDAVID BEN GURION.

Jonathan Dimbleby's book continued:

Arab frustration erupted...................the Palestinians killed some 200 jews, and suffered in consequence 120 casualties among their own people. Arab atrocity begat jewish revenge. Innocents - women and children among them - were clubbed, stabbed and beaten to death in a frenzy of atavistic bloodletting..........The British Enquiry understood, and offered its conclusion that indeed it was fear and hated of Zionist immigration which was the root cause.

As the rate of immigration increased, so did the fear. It was not simply a matter of numbers but of purpose. In 1035 the British High Commissioner for Palestine, recognizing what was happening, wrote to the Colonial Secretary at Westminister of: '....a genuine feeling of fear that the jews will succeed in establishing themselves in such large numbers that in the not too distant future that they will gain economic and political control of the country'.
