Editorial
Al-Nakba: The Horror Of
Israel:
55 Years of
Jewish
Occupation Funded by the
U.S.
Israel Was Built on 400 bulldozed Arab Villages
and erased Mosques
"Drive them out from where they drove you
out..."
The Qur'an 2:191
"In early 1948, Ein Hud was a small Palestinian
village with 650 inhabitants,
on the southern Carmel ridge, about eight miles
south of Haifa. Its
inhabitants made their lives tending olives, fig
trees, vineyards and carob
trees. The Palestinians of Ein Hud disappeared
from sight and consciousness
late in the summer of 1948, like hundreds of
thousands of others. Today the
village of Ein Hod is a beautiful artists' colony
and a symbol of the good
life in Israel. Thousands visit it every month in
search of art and
enjoyment. Parties and shows are held outdoors
during the summer, as guests
look over the moonlit Mediterranean. This is a
community of artists and
intellectuals, creative people who delight in
beauty and culture. Many of
them are reputed to be liberals and even
leftists. Founded in the early
1950s, the village now boasts one major museum
and countless galleries and
ateliers. The current residents still use the old
Arab homes, remodeled and
modernized. THE OLD VILLAGE MOSQUE IS NOW a
POPULAR RESTAURANT. Four hundred
Arab villages were destroyed in 1948-50. This one
was saved, because artists
wanted to preserve the picturesque homes on the
hill. The agricultural lands
were divided among neighboring Jewish
settlements."
[Original Sins. Reflections on the History of
Zionism and Israel by Benjamin
Beit-Hallahmi, p.99-100]
The facts are simple:
1. Palestine was taken by force from the
Palestinian people by Jewish forces.
2. The "legitimacy" for occupation was provided by
the United Nations, a body
put together by the victors of the Second World
War. The UN has no Islamic
legitimacy whatsoever.
3. In all of history there has never been an
"Israel." One has to go into the
fog of biblical pre-history to find any such
entity.
4. The British "gifted" Palestine to the Jews in
return for Jewish financial
and military cooperation before and during World
War II.
5. The suffering of the Jews under Hitler was
used to create sympathy for the
Zionist
idea of "Israel," first among all Jews
and then among the European
and American populations.
6. The Palestinian people were evicted from their
homes through
well-organized Zionist terrorism.
7. The Arab countries adjoining Palestine made
spasmodic efforts to stop the
Zionist conquest of Palestine but failed
miserably owing to lack of
leadership and lack of effective weaponry.
8. The Israelis today have the most powerful
military force in the Middle
East, funded and armed by the United States.
9. Arab rulers like Gamal Nasser and King Hussain
of Jordan permitted Israel
to conquer even those Palestinian territories
which the United Nations had
not given to the Jews. [King Hussain was working
with the
CIA
and let
Jerusalem fall to the Israelis with little or no
resistance. The only
fighting done was by the Ikhwan]
HOW DID THE SITUATION CHANGE?
The Palestinian people never accepted
Israeli occupation. Their
struggle entered a new phase with the Intifada,
or peaceful uprising, against
Israel.
With Intifada II, the Palestinian struggle
entered a phase of
intensity it has never known before. The
Palestinian people became more and
more united and mobilized against Israel,
although opportunists, agents and
traitors continued to help Israel's terrorist
efforts to crush the Intifada.
ISLAMIC EMERGENCE:
Hamas and Islamic Jihad started hitting
back at Israel. They found
a counter to Israeli tanks and helicopters: The
Martyrs who spread fear and
destruction behind Israeli lines. The Zionist
Jews could no longer enjoy
their dinners while committing daily atrocities
against the Palestinians.
The Islamic martyrdom operations have
over the years impacted the
entire Palestinian people. No longer do the
Palestinians feel that they are
helpless and unable to hit back. The influence of
the martyrs has entered the
ranks of Fatah which was totally secular at one
time. Segments of Fatah,
known as
Al-Aqsa
Martyrs Brigade,
have emulated
Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Israel cannot impose its will on the
Palestinian people as long as the
martyrs are willing to sacrifice themselves.
The SHARON-BUSH Program
For the success of the Zionist entity, the
Islamic resistance has to
be crushed. The Israelis have found, to their
consternation, that even when
they cut off and occupy the major Palestinian
towns, they cannot destroy the
will towards martyrdom. Hence the need to replace
Yasir Arafat with Abu Mazen
or some other secularist leader who would be
willing to STAB PALESTINE FROM
WITHIN.
Bush and the Saudis have funded and
created a mercenary secularist
police force in Palestine which will be used to
hunt down the Palestinian
resistance. Palestine has to be DISARMED.
Disconcertingly for Bush and
Sharon, even when devoid of all modern weaponry,
the Palestinians have the
MARTYR who will go inside "Israel" and spread
terror and dislocation. Hence
the RULES GIVEN TO ABU MAZEN are: If he wants a
puppet Palestinian rump
state, disarmed and supervised by the Israelis,
he must first crush the
Islamic resistance and wipe out the entire
community of believers from among
whom the martyrs arise.
SHARON THINKS THAT BY MAKING THE LIVES OF THE
PALESTINIANS MISERABLE, by
stationing tanks in front of Palestinian homes,
by destroying all economic
resources of the people, he can create a
situation in which the oppressed
masses would be willing to stand by and watch the
martyr-nurturing sections
of the community wiped out.
Meanwhile Saudi and U.S. funds for Abu Mazen
and his secularist groupies
and police thugs keep pouring in. NOTICE HOW WELL
DRESSED AND WELL-FED ABU
MAZEN etc are compared to the Palestinian people?

FIVE PALESTINIANS SACRIFICED THEMSELVES IN
MARTYRDOM ATTACKS ON OCCUPIED
PALESTINE, May 17-19. In the latest of these
attacks, in Afula, the martyr
was a 19-year old woman. Observers say that these
are people who EMBRACE
martyrdom and rush towards Allah's will. Some of
these missions strike terror
in "Israel." Others fail. But in each case,
observers say, it is the spirit
of martyrdom, rather than the number of Zionist
Jews killed and injured which
is important. According to the teachings of the
Prophet (pbuh), the martyrs
go straight to Paradise and all their sins are
forgiven. THOUSANDS OF
PALESTINIANS WANT TO ACHIEVE MARTYRDOM, according
to news reports. Observers
say that after the Jews are defeated and driven
out, these martyrs will be
remembered. The Palestinian villages will be
rebuilt. The villages, their
streets, village squares, mosques will be named
after the martyrs. Abu Mazen
and others will be remembered as clowns who
thought they could sell the land
soaked with Palestinian blood for a little rump
state of their own to be
ruled under U.S. supervision.
