Compatibility of Zionism and Peace in the Middle East

The United States was the first country to recognize Israel and has been supporting it since the very first day of its independence in 1948 [1]. The US backed the United Nations mandate for a Jewish homeland in Palestine [2] and has sold weapons to Israel during wars with its Arab neighbors. But the US support of Israel has never helped bring peace in the Middle East.

The creation of the Jewish State has started the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Israelis, or the Jews who migrated to the new State of Israel, were not very welcome in the Muslim World. The fact that the land has been taken from the Palestinians [3] sparked the first Arab-Israeli War in 1948. After numerous wars, including the first Arab-Israeli War and the Six-Day War, the Israeli land has grown; Israel has “annexed” the lands occupied after wars, refusing to return them [4] and stating that “the war will give us the land. The concepts of ‘ours’ and ‘not ours’ are only concepts for peacetime, and during war they lose all their meaning.” [5] The Zionists completely refuse to exchange the occupied land for peace. It is also believed that many Arabs, especially the Palestinians, who believe the Jews took their land, have sworn to drive Israel into the sea. If that case is true, however, exchanging “land for peace” does not seem to be a good option.

The Arab-Israeli conflict continues even today, after almost 60 years. The US support of Israel continues, while the UN, whose resolutions solve nothing, seems to be useless. The most recent war in 2006 has again shown the power of Israel’s military y. Although more Lebanese civilians have suffered [6], the war was officially fought between Israel and Hezbollah, or the Shia Islamic political and parliamentary organization, officially labeled as a “terrorist organization” in six countries, including the United Kingdom, United States and Israel [7]. By the end of the 2006 Lebanon War, after the UN resolution called for cease-fire, Israel has attacked a group that was transporting weapons from Syria[8], breaking the UN peace resolution. George Galloway, a Scottish politician, at that time said:

“America has given Israel missiles that can target not only every city in Lebanon, but every city in the Arab and Muslim World, including Iran. Why should America be allowed to give long-range missiles to Israel, including hundreds of nuclear missiles…?” [9]

Israel receives more aid from the US than any other country in the world. According to BBC News, “Israel receives billions of dollars from the US no matter what it does.” [10] Thus, it perhaps has the most advanced military in the Middle East. Israel also has its own Weapons of Mass Destruction. [11]

Russian Fascism

I almost had a heart attack tonight… after watching a video made by some fucking FASCIST MOTHERFUCKERS who killed two guys from Dagestan and Tajikistan. The video is very shocking (I WARN you), I would not recommend watching it. They shoot one guy in the head and behead the second guy. I fail to understand how things like this can happen in Russia. The country who fought against fascism in WWII is growing fascists itself! I fail to understand how easily people get killed and these horrible videos get published online, while the murderers remain free. I never saw this in the news.

• Recently, a student from Africa was shot in the head with a shotgun in St. Petersburg.
• A NINE-year-old Tajik girl was knife killed in front of her father by a group of skinheads in Moscow. Her father could not do anything. He saw her get killed by a group of sick, heartless motherfuckers.
• On December 14, 2003 Kim Khenik (Chinese citizen born in Russia) was killed in St.Petersburg
• An Armenian teenager standing on a crowded metro platform in the
  heart of the city was stabbed to death Saturday by an unknown
  attacker.
