Zionist leaders have taught that Israel can only exist, that it can only have peace and security, by beating the Palestinians (and indeed the entire Arab world) into total submission to its demands. Since the earliest days, Zionist leaders have recognized the need to forcefully dictate terms of surrender to the Palestinians, to the Arab world, even to all the Jews of the diaspora, in order to colonize the land formerly known as Israel. The central demand in this involuntary agreement calls for a Jewish majority to be established in Eretz Yisrael by physical intimidation (including the West Bank and Gaza) and absolute Israeli dominance over all the land of “Greater Israel” (from southern Turkey to the Nile River, all the way to the Euphrates River). [1]
The militant teachings of Vladimir (”Wolf”) Jabotinsky, the father of Jewish self-defense and creator of the Iron Wall doctrine, have formed the basis for all Israeli government policies toward the native Palestinian population. [2] The Iron Wall doctrine envisioned by him has been given physical form in the great wall dividing them from the Palestinians. [3] These policies call for the use force, restrictions and imposed suffering, to drive the Palestinians to desperation and eventual resignation to their imposed fate. To quote David Ben-Gurion, “We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” [4] (David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978)
Jabotinsky taught future Zionists that to negotiate with the Palestinians, or even to give them the hope of fair negotiations, is to undermine the only viable solution to the “Palestinian problem,” which is a violently imposed settlement, on Zionist terms. The Iron Wall doctrine [5] was intended to leave the Palestinians with one possible solution, accept Israel’s terms, to avoid complete expulsion. This is the essence of militant Zionism. The solution to Israel’s “Palestinian problem” is almost a mirror image of some of the elements of Germany’s solution to its “Jewish problem.” Israel’s “final solution” is modeled after the tactics of the more infamous European “final solution.”
To this end, it was advisable to encourage the Palestinian militants into attempting suicidal self-defense, in order to teach them the futility of resistance. The notoriously controversial Koenig Report/Memorandum [6] highlights a series of punitive measures intended to educate the angry Palestinians with these lessons of Zionism. This fits in with the covert Israeli policies that have been enacted since then, which fostered the creation of Hamas, [7] as a means to agitate and radicalize the Arabs and bleed the PLO. These policies of promoting radicalism were cited by former UN Ambassador Alvaro de Soto, when he turned in his resignation in protest of Israel policies [8]
Israeli policies seemed to be “perversely designed to encourage the continued action by Palestinian militants.”
and United States and UN support of those policies. [9]
American pressure has “pummelled into submission” the UN’s role as an impartial Middle East negotiator…the boycott [of Gaza]… transformed the Quartet… into a body that was all-but imposing sanctions on a freely elected government of a people under occupation as well as setting unattainable preconditions for dialogue”
Jabotinsky’s violent theories were reflective of the teachings of the founder of modern Zionism Theodor Herzl, who postulated that the key to establishing a Zionist homeland in the land of Palestine was to encourage the forces of anti-Semitism, in order to force the Jews out of Europe. [10]
“It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-Semites shall be our best friends”.
Additional quotes from Herzl echo this position, from p. 68 of Part I of his Diary:
“So anti-Semitism, which is a deeply imbedded force in the subconscious mind of the masses, will not harm the Jews. I actually find it to be advantageous to building the Jewish character, education by the masses that will lead to assimilation. This education can only happen through suffering, and the Jews will adapt.”
Herzl was one of the first to hit on the idea of recreating the plans of the anti-Semites in Palestine, with the Arabs as the intended target of the anti-Semitism. [11]
“The removal of Arabs bodily from Palestine is part of the Zionist plan to spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment…Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried away discreetly and circumspectly.”
(THEODORE HERZL founder of the World Zionist Organization Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.) In his book Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), [12] he identified Jewish comfort in their assimilation in other nations as a problem for Zionism, which had to be disturbed by creative brushes with anti-Semitism.
Jabotinsky formulated his “evacuation plan,” [13] which called for the physical removal of all Jews, against their will, from Poland, Hungary and Romania. He negotiated with those governments to enact it, but it wasn’t carried out. He proposed the same solution in Palestine: [14]
“We Jews, thank God, have nothing to do with the East. . . . The Islamic soul must be broomed out of Eretz-Yisrael. . . . [Muslims are] yelling rabble dressed up in gaudy, savage rags.” (Expulsion Of The Palestinians, Jabotinsky, p. 29)
Just before his death, in 1940, he was singing the praises of using Hitler’s idea of ethnic cleansing against the Arabs, thereby creating massive refugee populations in the exodus:
“The world has become accustomed to the idea of mass migrations and has become fond of them.” He later added, “Hitler— as odious as he is to us—has given this idea a good name in the world.” (One Palestine Complete, p. 407)
The brutal policies of the Wolf were carried on by modern Israeli leaders. Rafael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (Gad Becker, Yediot Ahronot 13 April 1983, New York Times 14 April 1983) is reported to have said:
“We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel… Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours.”
The Final Solution for the Palestinians is that they are the Arabs’ problem. Only Jews have a “right of return” to Israel. The Zionists have sought to make them into a refugee people in their own country, without rights or hope, even as they were made into a refugee population, after they were expelled from their desert home. The Palestinians cannot be allowed their own “right of return.” The Palestinian claim to the same right demanded by the Zionists is considered to be an obstacle to peace. [15] It is considered to be an attempt to demographically overrun Israel, a “back-door attempt to destroy Israel and deny our right to exist… Palestine and the Arab states, not Israel, are the solution to the refugee problem.” For Zionism to work, Palestinians cannot be allowed to have rights.
Vladimir Jabotinsky was Founder of the Betar Youth Movement, Founder of the Jewish Legion, Founder of the Irgun, a participating founder of the Likud Party, with former Israeli Prime Minister and commander of Betar in Poland, Menachim Begin. He was a close personal friend of Rabbi Charles Kahane, father of Rabbi Meir Kahane, head of the Jewish Defense League.
The Betar Youth movement is a militant ideological movement that both indoctrinates young Zionist men and provides them with military training. [16] Such a facility in the Islamic world would be called a “terrorist training camp.” Similar efforts in Nazi Germany produced thousands of “Hitler youth.” The CIA followed this pattern of indoctrination and paramilitary training in its Islamic training camps in the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Replication of these camps and tactics throughout the Islamic world has produced the generation of Islamic militant terrorists that fight the United States all over the world today. America’s use of militant Zionist tactics has produced the flood of refugees that plague the Middle East and caused our defeat in the war on terrorism. American support of Israel, as it enforces these brutal policies, not only makes us complicit in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, it reinforces stereotypical idea that the war on terrorism is really a crusade against all Islam. [17]
Some of Jabotinsky’s slogans: [18]
“Jewish Youth Learn to Shoot!”
“We shall create, with sweat and blood, a race of men, strong, brave and cruel.”
“Eliminate the Diaspora, before it eliminates you.”
“You cannot have humane Zionism, it is a contradiction in terms.” (David Ben Gurion, 1956, quoted by Nahum Goldmann in The Jewish Paradox, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p.99) Zionism cannot succeed without anti-Semitism, whether the targets of its anger are Arabs or Jews.
