Thank you for that clarification – to both, the above commenter, and posthumously, to Prof. Baruch Kimmerling.

And therein lies the quintessential component of the endless trail of red herrings that almost all on the proverbial “LEFT” spin in support of Zion.

The logical follow-up question to ask then, is to which past and future “regime” aren’t they opposed to in Israel in order to not be “defined as anti-Zionist”? Then we can further examine that regime and dismantle that too.

It is worthwhile remembering that powerful wordsmithing is a crucial strength of Zion – many of its exponents happen to be superb linguists not just accidentally! It is best captured in this pithy saying of Golda Meir:

“We can forgive them for killing our children, we cannot forgive them for making us kill theirs.”

Indeed, it is not insignificant that in Arabistan (i.e., the abode of the Arabs), the following bit of wisdom is not un-common – they will first plan to kill you with a design most brutal, and then come to your funeral lamenting: “We can forgive them for killing our children, we cannot forgive them for making us kill theirs.”

If interested, see Chapter 3 of “Prisoners of the Cave” for how it is all put together – the moralists and the terrorists united in a common cause, the two antipodes with all the rest of Zionists in between: http://prisonersofthecave.blogspot.com/2007/04/chapter-3.html

Acquiring a penetrating perspective of how Zionistan has been intellectually orchestrated piece-meal with deception as the key weapon system of choice – wage war by way of deception – is a prerequisite in order to even begin to deal with any sort of solution-space that rescues the Palestinians on their own lands.

Palestinians as a peoples will surely survive and even thrive in their forced Diaspora, just as the Jews before them – at least those who are able to escape from the Concentration Camps in what remains of their checkered-lands. But to effectively stop the systematic barbaric conquests of their ancestral homes and the continuous shattering of their tabula rasa (or what little might remain of it), requires a massive and overwhelming “shock and awe” war-front to be opened up in the intellectual space.

A conquest and an oppression originally begun in the intellectual space, will also only be concluded there. The Zionist masterminds apparently understand this far better than the Palestinians. And therefore, always appear to be better prepared across the board. The Palestinians to this day, sadly, unprepared for the Nakba as they were, have evidently mainly excelled in vociferous laments, and in reacting – rather than in astutely anticipating, and preempting!

Anecdotally, in 1967 after the onset of the second Nakba, another Pakistani, a far more distinguished and astute one, wrote to Yaser Arafat to not engage the Israelis by firing Katsuya rockets at them – but to understand that the Jews barely escaping their Holocaust will always garner the Western world’s sympathy ex post facto, in their disingenuous vociferous clamoring ‘they are doing another Holocaust on us’ as they conquer more and more in response to the Katsuyas. That instead, the Palestinians should engage the Zionists by astutely comprehending their antagonists strengths, and their weaknesses (and not just in military terms). That the best and most efficacious defense against them was Gandhian means – effective surrogates and “frontier-post” as they were of the superpowers. He was entirely ignored.

And yet this Pakistani persisted – being a close friend and compatriot of Edward Said that he was – and with every incremental fait accompli gained by Israel in reaction to PLO’s Katsuya rockets, he reminded them again, and again. And he remained ignored – to this very day – even posthumously.

And with every new “peace process”, the Palestinians have lost more, using the method: take 10 and give back 1 if the Palestinians behave, then repeat! Anyone can hopefully do that math to get the total sum!

This distinguished Pakistani friend of the Palestinian’s name? Eqbal Ahmad – see http://www.bitsonline.net/eqbal/

Sometimes, it is indeed too late to learn. That time, mercifully, hasn’t come yet – but is close at hand!

“I happen to be a Zionist. I’m a Zionist by dint of the fact that I live here and constitute part of Hebrew culture, even if I am opposed to the present regime and criticize it harshly. I am opposed to the definitions and practices of Zionism. They have taken on monstrous forms, alongside islands of marvelous humanism and creativity. Of course, there is a political and cultural struggle over the question of what Zionism is and who is a Zionist. For now, I’m on the losing side of this struggle, therefore I’m defined as anti-Zionist. So be it.”

Could the reason for this is becuse Israel plays a major role in the Congolese Holocaust? They benefit from the extraction of diamonds and other natural resources from the COngo as well as the sale of weapons and use of slave labor.

Zionism is perceived by some to come in many flavors – which to me are merely flavors of deception and inhumanity a Jewish person in Diaspora is willing to inflict upon others in their eternal quest for Zion – a cultural and ethnic weight of three thousand years of history. The following is merely a sampling:

There is the Chomskyian Labor Zionism of 1940s which believes all the world Jewry should be able to live together with the Palestinian Arabs in Eretz Yisrael in peace. There is Nutri Karta which believes forcibly evicting Palestinians from their homes and forcibly returning the Jews to Zion is morally wrong – that one day the Jews will be returned more peacefully after their redemption (see their website). There is Kibbutzim Zionism which is largely atheistic and wants to live closer to the natural-communal state of man (as they perceive it) but only in the land of Canaan. Then there is the 1967 borders-only Zionism, to which the likes of Kimmerling and Uri Avenry, and also Noam Chomsky too on pragmatic grounds, support. And then there is all-of-the-Land-of-Cannan Zionism called Eretz Yisrael that the present state of Israel forcibly wants and for which it is systematically performing its devilish state-craft that needs no additional description. And there is still more. There is the Uri Davis system of Zionism which suggests that the 1948 partition of Palestine was really meant to be two separate states only in culture and social laws, but one unified state in national Administration (if I understood him correctly), whereby, as an example, when one is driving in Tel Aviv, one find the road signs are in Hebrew first, and Arabic second; and when one is driving in the West Bank, one finds the road signs in Arabic first, then Hebrew; and when one is in Jerusalem, a city sacred to all, the road signs are in English first, and last, i.e., an international city; and all of Israel-Palestine is governed as one-state with different ethnic social laws governing each peoples much like the British Common Law in India. Indeed, he favors property ownership having time-limits as in London today. Prof. Ilan Pappe has his own version of Zionism I am sure, probably similar to the one argued by Uri Davis (see his website).

Please note that every single flavor of Zionism has one universal ingredient in common – persons of Jewish origin, race, culture, heritage, or mere assertion of belonging to any of the Lost Tribes, throughout the Diaspora, acquiring rights to live in Palestine solely on account of that claim.

So which version of Zionism is one “anti” when one not born in Palestine, by one’s own admission, writes a composition like “My Holiday, Their Tragedy”, and lives and dies in lands occupied and confiscated by the Zionists?
