Israel’s military indoctrination of children
By Stephen Lendman | Al-Ahram | May 6, 2010
The modern roots of Zionism go back to its founding at the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland, in 1897, its programme being the “establishing for the Jewish people of a publicly and legally assured home in Eretz Yisrael”. Five decades later, this was accomplished by dispossessing indigenous Palestinians, denying them the right to their land, creating a new Jewish identity, legitimising Jews as rightful owners, and using superior military force to support the state against defenceless civilians who were no match against their powerful adversary.
Leading up to and after its war of independence, Israel stayed politically and militarily hard line, negotiating from strength, choosing confrontation over diplomacy, and naked aggression as a form of self- defence and occupation in order to seize as much of historic Palestine as possible and secure an ethnically pure Jewish state. These policies were called “Israelification [and] De-Arabisation” to preserve a “Jewish character”.
In his book, The Making of Israeli Militarism, author Uri Ben-Eliezer says writing about Israeli militarism involves “ventur(ing) into an intellectual minefield”, given Jewish history under the Nazis and the perception of Israel as a safe haven. Yet, decades of Arab- Israeli conflict have produced seven full-scale wars, two Intifadas, and many hundreds of violent incidents.
Ben-Eliezer believes that, beginning in the 1930s, militarism “was gradually legitimized within the Yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine, then within the new state [it was] crystallized into a value, a formula, and an ideology.” Over time, it acquired a dynamic of its own, and then, during the 1948 war, it “acquired full legitimacy” and became decisive in setting policy.
Politics and militarism were wedded to create a militaristic view of reality. Thereafter, it was institutionalised to the point that “the idea of implementing a military solution to [political problems] was not only enshrined as a value in its own right, but was also considered legitimate, desirable, and indeed the best option.” … continue

“Eretz Yisrael according to Rabbi Kashtiel should include Turkey in the north and the Nile river to the West”.
Well, there you go. I’ll bet Turkey won’t take that crap lying down. And, Israel might control the Egyptian Government, but I’ll bet the Egyptian people will never accept Israel as their neighbours on the other side of the Nile River.
More Trouble Brewing in the near future, but, Israel won’t worry, they’ll get the USA to do the fighting and the dying for them.

A Jew writes yesterday:
“Among the many differences between SA apartheid and Zionist apartheid is the fact that genocide could not be realistically considered or even desirable in SA as there were way too many blacks and besides, who would do all the work? Palestinians do not constitute a huge majority in the Zionist territories at all and genocide could very well be undertaken perhaps under cover of larger upheaval and war in the region. I feel certain that it is already Zionist policy to kill Palestinians whenever there is plausible justification or deniability. We have seen this graphically under conditions where the killer IDF thought there was no surveillance.”
“Were this biblical times, the conquered population would have been liquidated or sold into slavery. While it is difficult today — not impossible -=- to do this sort of mass murder, the principle itself is alive and well: These Palestinians must disappear completely so that there is no competing claim to the land. I am confident that genocide of the indigenous people lurked in Zionist cabals all along. I know my people. They are thinking genocide while talking “peace” and transfers and a Palestinian “state” subject to Israel completely. They think that Palestinians should have relocated themselves in the Arab world long ago. After all, Jews relocated repeatedly throughout the twenty centuries of “exile”. Why can’t these Arabs do this? What’s wrong with them? What’s wrong with them is that they are not Jews! Either Palestinians move on or die in place.
They will eliminate Palestinians one body at a time (with occasional holiday massacres in Gaza.) Apparently Jewish forces murder a number of Palestinians every single day, making up reasons and scenarios as they go. Jews can get away with murder in the ME at the very least.”

The deluded Zios imagine that they are re-enacting the Book of Joshua: kill them all, their men, their women, their children, their animals, leave not one alive, destroy their holy places. They are literally insane, and cannot be reasoned with.

If that disgusting individual is not a Terrorist I don’t know who is. Any religious ‘nutter’ who advocates taking land from their neighbours, by whatever means is a Terrorist, and claiming God has told you to do it is utterly ridiculous.
Israel is not “The Holy Land” and Israeli’s are not “God’s Chosen People”. Israel/Palestine is part of the planet Earth, just like every other part of the planet.

Wow. Eternal war. The mentality is… deranged. And if this mentality is directed from a religious tenant, a religious instruction, as direct instruction from their God, then it’s a holy mission. Which means the mission is never fulfilled, since eternity means… forever.
Peace is a concept alien.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Get that, non-jews? Your slavery is their freedom.
Israel is not an ally. It is the opposite. Get that, non-jews? Either death or slavery.
Why is that difficult to comprehend when listening to, or reading such, over and over?
