The Israeli Justice Minister Justifies Genocide of the Palestinian People for Starting a War against the Jews: But What If She Is Wrong?

By William A. Cook | American Herald Tribune | April 6, 2019

A day before Palestinian teenager Muhammad Abu Khudair was kidnapped and burned alive (2014), Israeli Justice Minister, Ayelet Shaked, published in Facebook, a call for genocide of the Palestinian people. I was guided to her call for genocide by an article Ali Abunimah wrote covering Ayelet’s recent fashion video, created for her New Right Party, that decries the power of judges while proclaiming a passion for Fascism. Last year’s decision to confirm that the democratic state of Israel is only for Israelis, underscores just how democratic it isn’t.

But it is her call for genocide that bothers me because it declares that “the entire Palestinian people is the enemy” and justifies its destruction, “including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure.”

“It is a call for genocide because it calls for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers who give birth to “little snakes.”

“I don’t know why it’s so hard for us to define reality with the simple words that language puts at our disposal,” she asserts. “Why do we have to make up a new name for the war every other week, just to avoid calling it by its name. What’s so horrifying about understanding that the entire Palestinian people is the enemy? Every war is between two peoples, and in every war the people who started the war, that whole people, is the enemy.”

“The Palestinian people has declared war on us, and we must respond with war. Not an operation, not a slow-moving one, not low-intensity, not controlled escalation, no destruction of terror infrastructure, no targeted killings. Enough with the oblique references. This is a war. Words have meanings. This is a war. It is not a war against terror, and not a war against extremists, and not even a war against the Palestinian Authority. These too are forms of avoiding reality. This is a war between two people. Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they started.”

The premise of her call for genocide rests on a simple statement: the people who started the war are the enemy and can be justifiably assassinated, murdered, killed at will by the people who did not start the war. “Words,” after all, “ have meanings.”

A justice minister should be ready to defend her premise, especially when the eradication of the other people is the accepted outcome.

Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, published The Jewish State (Der Judenstaat) in 1896. “Herzl claimed that the Jews could gain acceptance in the world only if they stopped being an anomaly among nations. He asserted that the scattered Jews are one people. Their plight could be transformed into a positive force by the establishment of a Jewish state guaranteed in international (public)  law – “volkerrechtig” — with the consent of the great powers.”

“The Jewish State and Herzl’s novel, Altneuland (Old New Land) published in 1902,  pictured a Jewish social utopia in Palestine. It would be a pluralist, technologically advanced, secular society with equality for Arabs.  Altneuland became a symbol of the Zionist vision in the Land of Israel.” (Zionism and Israel-Biographies, Theodore Herzl)

Obviously, Shaked’s promotion of Fascism is not democratic and her genocide does not call for equality of Arabs. Yet, Herzl rests on top of Mount Herzl so his image can be used as a PR image for Israel. The reality of Zionism can be enunciated through its real founders, Jabotinsky, Ben Gurion, Shertok, Begin, Stern, and Captain Orde Wingate.”

“There can be no kind of discussion of a voluntary reconciliation between us and the Arabs…Any native people…view their country as their national home… native population cannot break through. They will not voluntarily allow, not only a new master, but even a new partner…Colonization can have only one goal. For the Palestinian Arabs this goal is inadmissible. This is the nature of things. To change that nature is impossible… colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population-an iron wall which the native population cannot break through.  This is in toto, our policy toward the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy.” (Jabotinsky, November 1923)

Check the date, before Vladimir Jabotinsky ever set foot in Palestine. He as the President of WZO maneuvered its action to use Balfour as a puppet to ensure control of the London government enabling the Mandatory to change its content and hand over Palestine to create a state for the Jews and deny the rights of the Palestinians their guaranteed ascendancy to nationhood in ten years.

Haganah Commander David Yosef Weitz, the Jewish Agency’s administrator responsible for Jewish colonization as he spoke to the fresh recruits of the Irgun and Stern gangs who were being indoctrinated into the revisionist forces:

“Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We shall not achieve our goal of being an independent people with the Arabs in this small country. The only solution is a Palestine west of the Jordan.” (adapted for The Mandate, a novel, by Cook, in progress).

Tomorrow you will crush those who inhabit our land, and we must, but ‘… 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.’”

(David Ben Gurion, quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech).

‘We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.’”  (David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael en-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978).

Make no mistake, these are foreign invaders from Russia, Poland, Romania, and Kiev where the Ashkenazi lived, converted Jews of the old Khazar kingdom, men armed with a single ideology conceived by Herzl but not in his image, where His Zionism was twisted to grasp a land from the indigenous people who lived there for thousands of years. As Dr. Ilan Pappe puts it succinctly, “The Zionist project could only be realized through the creation in Palestine of a purely Jewish state, both as a safe haven for the Jews from persecution and a cradle for a new Jewish nationalism. And such a state had to be exclusively Jewish not only in its socio-political structure but also in its ethnic composition.”

The Partition Plan adopted by the UN in November of 1947 was followed by the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in December. By the middle of February forced expulsion followed and in March 1948 Plan Dalat went into effect;

“These operations can be carried out in the following manner: either by destroying villages (by setting fire to them, by blowing them up, and by planting mines in their rubble), and especially those population centres that are difficult to control permanently or by mounting combing and control operations according to the following guidelines: encirclement of the villages, conducting a search inside them. In case of resistance, the armed forces must be wiped out and the population expelled outside the borders of the state.” (The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine).

Sounds familiar to justice minister Shaked, I’m sure. Perhaps the justice minister is too young to have studied the true origins of her Zionist state, the one started by amoral, ruthless murderers against a relatively defenseless people, one put into place by a treasonous Lord Arthur Balfour in collusion with Chaim Weismann and the dozen or so men who determined the outcome of the Palestinian people sitting in the Red House offices safe from ‘harms’ way as the roads jammed with refugees fleeing the onslaught of Jewish terrorism and ferocity.  Such Ayelet was the start of the war between the Jews and the Arabs.

Should you wish to engage your conscience before using your position as justice minister you might read Hope Destroyed, Justice Denied, The Rape of Palestine. (William A.  Cook, 2008).

I should point out that not all Zionists are of the ideology of the few men who invaded Palestine from Russia. Many accept the justice sited by Herzl, others are True Torah Jews who practice what their Bible teaches in all its moral teachings, and in America, the Neturei Karta, Friends of Jerusalem, as well as Jews for Peace. Now is a good time to Know.
