Politicizing the Holocaust

The Holocaust has been turned by Israel and its supporters into a political tool to silence criticism against its expansionist actions as anti-Semitism. It has also been turned into a money-making, and vote-collecting tool for lawyers and politicians. Indeed the reason why some Arabs are sometimes more inclined than others to adopt Holocaust Revisionism/Denial is the use by Israel's supporters of the Holocaust as a weapon to silence critics of Israel in its treatement of Palestinians.

Inter-Jewish Discrimination and Violence

Discrimination in Israel extends further to Jews, where Ashkenazim (European Jews) look down to/discriminate against Sephardim (oriental Jews), and the ultra-religious (Orthodox, who control many aspects of civil law, e.g. marriages and burial) against other Jewish sects (Reform/Conservative) and secular Jews. The majority of U.S. Jews --thanks to whom Israel virtually controls American Middle East policy-- are of the Reform/Conservative sects, while the U.S. Orthodox Jews are a minority. In Israel, reform and consevative Judaism has very little following. About 85 percent of Jews in Israel are secular, (but still call for control of the land based on biblical accounts). Famous victims of inner Jewish discrimination include the family of Mordecai Vanunu, the Dimona nuclear technician who exposed Israel's nuclear program to the London Sunday Times. His family emigrated to Israel hoping to live in Haifa, but were instead forced to live in the desert town of Beersheba (see A Cockburn Dangerous Liaison, 1991, p.95). Perhaps the constant state of mobilization and fear of war created by Israel's rulers is one way to divert attention from those differences which may otherwise ignite bitter internal conflict.

• Golan Settlements to Add 5,000 Units, Ministers Rule by Ziv Maor and David Makovsky, (Ha'aretz 08/20/1998). Even though Israeli leadership tells us, on TV, it is "yearning for peace," it has never exhibited a shortage of provocative actions, the major purpose of which is to force the Palestinian to give up on the "peace process" and thus be the ones to blame. Here, Israel decides to add 5000 units, even though reports show that 25 percent of Golan settlements are empty (see several articles under the Zionism link in this site about settlements). This, again and again, shows that the settlement movement, in addition to provoking the Palestinians and appeasing Jewish extremists, is more for possession of Syrian and Palestinian land, rather than housing needy Jews.
• Golan Law --Making it More Difficult for Israel to Give Back Golan-- Passes. by Gideon Allon (Israel Wire/Ha'aretz 01/26-27/1999). If peace if more important than land to Israel, why make it more difficult for Israel to return Golan Heights back to Syria -- the only way Syria will give Israel peace? What is more startling is that the bill was initiated by Labor PM Rabin, a hailed "prince of peace"!!! Again, the difference between Labor and Likud is proven to be more in style than outcome.

Jerusalem

• Jerusalem Keeps Expanding Israel Approves Jerusalem Expansion Plan by Daniel Sternoff (Reuters 06/21/1998). After capturing E. Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967 Israel further expanded the boundary of Jerusalem form 40 SqKm to 100 SqKm. Since it decided, with U.S. support, that Jerusalem is not on the negotiating table, all Israel has to do now is expand it towards the West Bank to swallow as much land as possible hence increasing the "non-negotiable" area. This also has the usual demographic advantage of further making the Palestinians a minority in Jerusalem. See map 1 of 1997 "greater" Jerusalem, and map 2 of expropriated land around Jerusalem.

Despite promises to the U.S. of not expanding settlements, DM Moshe Arens signed the order annexing more than 13,000 dunams (about 4,250 acres). "About a year ago the [Netanyahu] government tried to expand Jerusalem eastward, in an attempt to create a "greater Jerusalem." But under world pressure Netanyahu capitulated. "Now, however, the plan is quietly returning through the back door. This time, instead of moving Jerusalem's border to the east, the border of Ma'aleh Adumim is moving west toward the capital city. If the plan is carried out, the area of Ma'aleh Adumim will be greater than that of Tel Aviv."

Jews from Arab countries (as well as from other countries) have been used by Israel to spy on their countries, which certainly is not a good way to help eliminate anti-Semitism, which is supposed to be of interest to Israel. It also was an important factor in nourishing Arab anti-Jewish feelings. An example is the present case of Israeli spy Eli Cohen, an Egyptian with Syrian parents who caused a lot of damage to Syria and facilitated the 1967 Israeli victory. Another example is the Lavon affair (see U.S. Interest Section)

Labor vs Likud: No Difference in Actions. Israel's "Left"

"You are exactly like the Likud. Don't you think that the Arabs need someplace to live?" member of Knesset Shulamit Aloni complained to Rabin after he made up his wide settlement plan of 1995, on 01/25/1995, Rabin Responded "I think about Israelis,". (Quoted in Settlements and the Israel-Palestinian Negotiations by Geoffrey Aronson, 1996)

• Likud vs. Labor: Any Difference? Israel's Labor Party "Cleverly Concealed" West Bank Settlements by Paul Findley (Washington Report 11/1994). Many are fooled to think that there is a real difference between Likud and Labor, as far as the Palestinians are concerned. Although Likud might have a slightly larger resume of anti-Palestinian oppression, both have similar stand on all the main issues, such as settlements, refugees, Jerusalem, Abou Ghoneim (Har Homa), and house demolition. While Likud (Netanyahu, Shamir, Begin) does things in-your-face style, Labor (Rabin, Peres, Barak) is more soothing and diplomatic in its rhetoric, says one thing but does the complete opposite, maneuvers more skillfully around the media to avoid raising many flags, and speaks with a more mellow tone, giving the false impression that it is more for peace than Likud.
