PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE



Israeli occupation on gaza
A view in Beit Dajan (Jaffa District) soon after Nakba where you can see the persecuted European Jews who had usurped a Palestinian shop.

By Abu al-Sous (Salah Mansour)*

Since the inception of the Zionists movement, its founders and the Western Powers proclaimed that if Arabs accepted the Zionist vision (which aims to turn Palestine to a “Jewish majority state”), then “peace”, prosperity, and democracy shall follow soon after. Paradoxically, what happened on the ground has been the complete the opposite. It should be noted that up to this date, all Arab countries who accepted the Western version of “peace” and recognized the “Jewish state” have become

  • more repressive against their own people,
  • have the best intelligence services and torture centers the West can to offer,
  • their democracy is almost non-existent at all levels, and
  • their economies cannot survive without foreign aid.

Because this version of “peace” ignores that facts that the Palestinian people have been ethnically cleansed and dispossessed of their homeland, it’s extremely unpopular among Arabs. Consequently, Western Powers have resorted to all sorts of methods to impose this version of “peace” on Arab regimes, and as a result repression and corruption have reached unprecedented levels. The examples in the Arab World are too many to enumerate, especially in the occupied West Bank and Egypt.

Such a version of “peace” requires the West and Israel to continuously shore up corrupt Arab regimes to prolong the unpopular “peace” treaties with Israel, and without corruption and repression these unpopular treaties won’t last for a day. As repression and corruption increases, these Arab regimes become even more unpopular which entails even more sustainable repression and corruption. This vicious circle of repression and corruption (which are required to sustain this version of “peace”) has become a kind of a ponzi or a pyramid scheme that will eventually crumble under its own weight. If history can be a judge, this version of “peace” (which is based on usurping Palestinian national rights) will be a curse on the Arab regimes and people who choose it as their path. In that respect, it is helpful to point out that even David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister) recognized that peace without justice is simply impossible, he stated in 1919:

“Everybody sees the problem in the relations between the Jews and the Arabs. But not everybody sees that there’s no solution to it. There is no solution! . . . The conflict between the interests of the Jews and the interests of the Arabs in Palestine cannot be resolved by sophisms. I don’t know any Arabs who would agree to Palestine being ours—even if we learn Arabic . . .and I have no need to learn Arabic. On the other hand, I don’t see why ‘Mustafa’ should learn Hebrew. . . . There’s a national question here. We want the country to be ours. The Arabs want the country to be theirs.” (One Palestine Complete, p. 116)

Similarly, Ze’ev Jabotinsky (one of the most influential Zionists leaders) recognized that Arabs will accept Zionist vision only by the force of arms, he stated in his famous iron wall article in 1923:

“…. Settlement can thus develop under the protection of a force that is not dependent on the local population, behind an iron wall which they will be powerless to break down. ….a voluntary agreement is just not possible. As long as the Arabs preserve a gleam of hope that they will succeed in getting rid of us, nothing in the world can cause them to relinquish this hope, precisely because they are not a rubble but a living people. And a living people will be ready to yield on such fateful issues only when they give up all hope of getting rid of the Alien Settlers. Only then will extremist groups with their slogan ‘No, never’ lose their influence, and only then their influence be transferred to more moderate groups. And only then will the moderates offer suggestions for compromise. Then only will they begin bargaining with us on practical matters, such as guarantees against pushing them out, and equality of civil, and national rights.”

“Peace” without justice for the Palestinian people is equivalent to some kind of a financial transaction between individuals not people. The Palestinian people are a patient people and like all people eager for a justice peace; they shall wait for the day when a just and lasting peace comes.

Our DATE is 60 years LATE, God willing sooner or later we shall return.

السلام غير العادل
بقلم أبو السوس (صلاح منصور)
منذ بداية الحركة الصهيونية، أعلن مؤسسيها وداعميها في العالم الغربي أنه إذا وافق العرب على المُخطط الصهيوني –الذي يطمح لتحويل فلسطين لدولة أغلبيتها من اليهود– فإنهم سينعمون بالسلام والرخاء الإقتصادي والديموقراطية. بالفعل قامت عدة دول عربية بالإعتراف “بالدولة اليهودية” ومُخططها الصهيوني في فلسطين ولكن النتيجة كانت معاكسة تماماً للتعهدات الغربية، فهذه الدول أصبحت:

  • تنعم بالمزيد من القمع وتراجع الحريات،
  • تنعم بدوائر مخابرات ومراكز تعذيب تعد من أحدث ما يُصدره العالم الغربي،
  • تنعم بديموقراطية شبه معدومة،
  • تنعم بفساد يشمل كافة طبقات المجتمع،
  • وتنعم بإقتصاد شبه مُنهار يمعتمد على المِنح الخارجية.

تحظى نظرة الدول الغربية “للسلام” في الشرق الأوسط بشعبية عربية شبه معدومة وذلك لأنها ترتكز على ظلم الشعب الفلسطيني ولأنها تنتقص من الحق العربي والإسلامي في فلسطين. ولذلك لجأت الدول الغربية وإسرائيل بإستخدام كافة أنواع الضغوطات لإلزام بعض الأنظمة العربية بالقبول بهذا “السلام” غير العادل. فبسبب إنعدام شعبية هذا “السلام” –المبني على اُسس ظالمة– إزداد القمع والفساد في الأنظمة العربية التي إعترفت بالدولة اليهوية، وهذا يقلص من شعبية تلك الأنظمة مما يُجبرها على إستخدام المزيد من القمع والفساد للمحافظة على سدة الحكم، فالفجوة ما بين الأنظمة وشعوبها تزداد ولا تقل.

فبإختصار، تمرير المفهوم الغربي والصهيوني “للسلام العادل” يتتطلب إفساد الأنظمة العربية وهذا يستوجب قمع وإفساد شعوبها، وبدون ذلك فإن معاهدات السلام المُوقعة مع “الدولة اليهودية” لن تصمد ليوم واحد؛ فالأمثلة على ذلك كثيرة خاصةً في الضفة الغربية المُحتلة وجمهورية مصر التي تعتمد على دوامة الفساد والإفساد للمحافظة على مراكزها. فللأسف الشديد إستمرارية هذه المُعاهدات يتتطلب المزيد من القمع والفساد، واُشبهها بأنظمة الإستثمار الهرمية التي ستنهار في يومٍ ليس ببعيد تحت وطأة وزنها. فالوعودات الغربية والصهيونية بالرخاء والسلام والديموقراطية تتحول أمام أعيننا للعنة على الأمة العربية، عسى أن يعتبر منها البعض الذين يتهافتون لتوقيع مُعاهدات “سلام” جديدة على حساب الحقوق العربية والإسلامية في فلسطين. وهنا تجدر الإشارة بأن ديفيد بن غوريون–أول رئيس وزراء إسرائيلي– إعترف بأن سلام عادل مع العرب غير ممكن مهما تم التلاعب بالكلمات، فقال في عام 1923:

“الكل يرى بأنه يوجد حل للمشكلة ما بين اليهود والعرب، ولكن لا يرى الجميع بأنه لا يوجد حلّ لهذه المشكلة. ليس هنالك حلّ! … فتضارب المصالح العربية واليهودية في فلسطين لا يمكن حله بالتلاعب بالكالمات … أنا لا أجد عربي يوافق بأن تتحول فلسطين لنا حتى وإن تكلمنا العربية ….. وعلى الجانب الآخر لماذا ينبغي على ((مصطفى)) تعلم العبرية … يوجد هنا تضارب بالأهداف الوطنية، فهم يريدون فلسطين لهم ونحن نريدها لنا.” (One Palestine Complete, p. 116)

وبالمثل إعترف زئيف جابوتنسكي –أحد أهم مؤسسي الفكر الصهيوني– بأن العرب لن يتقبلوا المُخطط الصهيوني إلا إذا فرض عليهم بقوة السلاح، ففي عام 1923 كتب في مقالته المشهورة ((الجدار الحديدي)):

“الإستيطان ممكن فقط من خلال الإعتماد على قوة السلاح وأن لا يعتمد على موافقة السكان الأصليين… فهذا الإستيطان ممكن فقط من وراء جدار حديدي يصعب إختراقه …. فالتوصل لإتفاق بملئ إرادة السكان اللأصليين ببساطة غير ممكن. فكلما بقي عند العرب البصيص من الأمل بإقتلاعنا، فإنهم لن يتخلون عن هذا الأمل مهما كان الثمن وذلك لأنهم ليسو بأنقاض بل شعب حي. والشعب الحي لا يتخلى عن أمور مصيرية إلا إذا فقد الأمل بالتخلص من المستوطنين الأجانب، وعندها سينتقل نفوذ المجموعات المُتطرفة التي ترفض التسوية معنا وينتقل نفودها الى مجموعات أكثر إعتدالاً وعندئذٍ المعتدلين سيقدمون إقتراحات للتسوية معنا وبعد ذلك يبدأون بالتفواض عن الأمور المصيرية، مثل ضمانات بعدم طردهم والمساومة على حقوقهم المدنية والوطنية.”

وهنا أطرح الأسئلة التالية:

  • ألم يتنبأ جابوتينسكي بما يحدث لنا الآن منذ أكثر من ثماني عقود؟
  • هل بإمكاننا الإعتبار مما قاله جابوتينسكي ؟

“السلام” في المفهوم الغربي والصهيوني هو مفهوم مُضلل لأنه يعتمد على نكران الحق العربي والإسلامي في فلسطين، وما هو إلا نوع من أنواع الصفقات التجارية التي لا تمت للسلام بأي صلة. فالشعب الفلسطيني شعب صبور يطمح بسلام عادل وشامل الذي سيضمن له كافة حقوقه الوطنية والمدنية خاصة حقوقه في العودة والتعويض. فالشعب الجزائري قدم تضحيات أكثر من الشعب الفلسطيني وتم إستعمار وإحتلال وطنه لأكثر من 130 سنة، ومع ذلك لم يتخلى الجزائريون عن أنملة من حقوقهم الوطنية. عسى أن تعتبر الشعوب الأنظمة العربية بالتجربة الجزائرية وأن تناصر الشعب الفلسطيني كما ناصرت الشعب الجزائري لضمان كافة الحقوق العربية والإسلامية في فلسطين، فصبرنا هو مفتاح الفرج والله الموفق.

Photographs Of Most Wanted Terrorists

Pictures of Hamas’ most wanted terrorists”

By Khalid Amayreh


The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday released the pictures of some of Hamas’ most wanted “terrorists” it said it has killed since the start of the Israeli onslaught in the Gaza Strip more two weeks ago.


An Israeli spokesman told foreign reporters in Jerusalem that the world community, especially Americans and Europeans, shouldn’t be deceived by the ostensibly young age of the killed terrorists.


“They may look young to you and me. But these people are terrorists at heart. Don’t look at their deceptively innocent faces, try to think of the demons inside each of them.”


The spokesman, Nachman Abramovic, said he was “absolutely certain” that these people would grow to be “evil terrorists if we allowed them to grow.”

“If you were in our shoes, would you allow them to grow to kill your children or finish them off right now”?


Asked if he was worried about possible criticisms from the international community, Abramovic said he was not worried a bit because “We are only defending ourselves.”

“Would you apologize for defending yourself if another person attacked you without any provocation,” the Israeli spokesman asked an American reporter.


Impressed by the answer, the American reporter said “You are right, Sir, absolutely.”

The IDF spokesman added that Israel didn’t really target civilians in Gaza and that the world should fall into trap of Hamas’s propaganda.


“I challenge serious news media to prove that we have killed a single innocent civilian in Gaza.


“Don’t tell me Aljazeera said this or CNN said that. You know all these people are anti-Semites and can’t be relied upon to tell the truth.”


He added that in any case, honest and moral people ought to differentiate between “true human beings” and “human animals.”


“We do kill human animals, and we do so unapologetically. Besides who in the West is in a position to lecture us on killing human animals. After all, whose hands are cleaned?”


Another Israeli spokesman, Tzipora Menache, said she was not immensely worried about negative ramifications that Operation Cast Lead might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel.


“You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House.”


“You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable.”


Asked if he was not worried that her remarks would cause a public relations disaster, Menache said “what can they do to us. We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, we control everything in America.


“In America you can criticize G-d, but you can’t criticize Israel.”


Now, after this imaginary but very realistic introduction, we shall view the pictures of these “evil terrorists.”

The pain and suffering of just one family in gaza


The following was written by a very dear friend….
Shiv'a is the traditional seven day mourning period observed by Jews at the loss of a loved one…..
In this report, Deb describes the suffering of just one Palestinian family, one of hundreds…

Shiv'a in Gaza: December 2008
By Deb Reich

My heart has been broken so many times, writes Alice Walker somewhere, that it feels like an open suitcase with the wind blowing through it… But maybe, she muses, hearts are made to be broken, and what is required of us is simply a steadfast acknowledgment: Open up and let the wind blow through; that's what hearts are for.

If so, Gaza 2008 is good cardiac training.

I am an American-Israeli Jewish woman of 60 living now in an Arab town in Israel and working for Jewish-Palestinian-Arab-Israeli reconciliation. I have two friends in Gaza and I will tell you how we came to be acquainted.

The first step was simply refusing to be enemies. There are thousands of Palestinians and Jews like me, in the Middle East and worldwide, who refuse to be enemies. We rarely make the headlines in your local paper, but we are here. One day we will prevail - not over anyone, but with everyone together. We are creating a new reality together and the paradigm, sooner or later, will shift decisively. Meantime, people needlessly bleed and suffer and die and mourn; the scenarios are endless but the outcomes are identical: death, injury, pain. What distinguishes Gazan suffering at the moment is that the noncombatants have nowhere to run to. The borders are sealed. The bombs fall. The world watches.

* * *

In 2006, one of my several informally adopted children, business consultant and "business for peace" activist Sam Bahour of Al Bireh, Palestine, started an Arabic-English-Arabic translation service, AIM Word Factory. A key goal was to provide employment for underemployed Gazan translators. To have the honor of being one of the first customers and helping that great idea launch, I sent him, for translation into Arabic, an anti-war story I wrote many years ago called "Dudu in Heaven [1]," about an Israeli woman who loses her brother in the 1967 Six-Day War. The translator in Gaza was a young professional named Maha M., and the shared literary mission led to some email exchanges, all conducted via Sam. "Maha says the story is too sad," Sam reported at one point. "She likes it very much, but she says you ought to write a happier one next time."

Not long ago, I discovered that Maha's nephew Mohammed, 14, is the boy whom Sam has been helping for some years now in a very personal struggle with a rare inherited immune disease, CGD. Sam donates and helps raise money from private donors for Mo's treatment and medication and has been successful in assisting Maha to get the necessary "permits" from Israel to enable her to accompany Mo for his treatment. Mo became a patient at the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, an excellent Israeli facility near Tel Aviv. ("Everyone on the medical staff will go straight to heaven someday," says Sam.) Mo and Maha recently spent two and a half months at the hospital and the nearby Bet Hayeled ("Children's House"), the hostel for young patients and their families on the hospital grounds; their "permits" do not permit them to leave the campus and their travel documents are deposited with the guard at the hospital entrance. This is the reality of Israel and Palestine, so far; the change we are struggling to midwife is not yet. In November, Mo underwent a bone marrow transplant at Tel Hashomer.

I only discovered that our Gaza-based translator of "Dudu in Heaven" was in Israel toward the end of their stay, early in December when Sam mentioned it by chance. I got organized fairly quickly and went to visit them, accompanied by Abdalla, the 22-year-old son of my landlord upstairs. I figured Mo would enjoy an Arabic-speaking visitor and Abdalla was happy to oblige. We invested in an enormous basket of chocolates - "the absolutely correct gift to bring to a Palestinian child in the hospital," according to Abdalla - chocolate being one of those things that evidently transcend cultures. Also for the young patient, Abdalla's mom Faryal contributed some never-worn boy's jeans and sweatshirts that her sister Shadya in New Jersey sent recently for Abdalla's kid brother, who is too big to wear them. For Maha, I raided my bookshelf and selected Garrison Keillor's anthology, "Good Poems for Hard Times," and a couple of other books I thought she might enjoy.

We drove to the hospital and found Maha and Mo and a parking space, and had a wonderful visit, everyone bonding instantly after the first hug. Maha is a writer-editor-translator type just like me, only a couple decades younger. She and Abdalla took a bunch of digital photographs and I prayed inwardly - even though some ghastly crisis in Gaza was already clearly imminent - that all four of us would be back together again one day soon for a reunion. Mo is a great kid: undersized, on account of the illness, but with a smile like a lighthouse and a passionate interest in airplanes. His dream to become an airline pilot someday is not the most realistic dream for a seriously ill Palestinian child from Gaza in 2008, but insofar as our dreams keep us going, maybe it's very functional. The boys talked soccer and other guy topics and there was a lot of laughter. The chocolates were a big hit.

Abdalla was rather subdued afterwards and I saw that the experience had deeply affected him. We talked mostly of inconsequential things during the drive home.

* * *

Around the time of that visit in early December, after a battery of tests, Mo's bone marrow transplant was declared a guarded success and he was discharged the week before Christmas to make room for the next young patient, despite the iffy situation in Gaza and the near-impossibility of obtaining "permits" to return to the hospital for the required twice- monthly follow-up treatment. There are never enough beds, apparently, for the sick children in this world.

Mo's prospects soon took a dramatic turn for the worse with the Israeli assault on Gaza launched last week - two days after Christmas, on December 27, 2008. Not even the indomitable Sam Bahour can get a child out of Gaza right now. The date for Mo's first post-op intravenous treatment at Tel Hashomer - December 30th - came and went. The treatments are - how shall I put it? - not optional. As I write this, cosy at my desk with a fresh cup of coffee and plenty of everything, Mo and Maha are sitting in Gaza in the dark, in the cold, with little fuel and no reliable supply of food and water, along with Mo's parents and six siblings. Right about now, the family are surely thinking of Mo's seventh sibling, Nora, who died four years ago of CGD at the age of 16, in a hospital in Egypt, before the doctors were able to diagnose her. Mo has a good chance to manage his illness, if only he can somehow get back to Tel Hashomer. I think of them sitting there, listening to the bombs whistle in flight and waiting for the planned Israeli ground assault, while tanks mass along the Gaza perimeter. In the lethal game of mindless violence and counter-violence playing out in Israel and Palestine lo these many years, Mo and his family are innocent bystanders. His innocence will not get Mo to his IV treatments, however.

Can you feel that wind blowing right through your heart?

* * *

While Abdalla and Mo were talking sports at the hostel that day in early December, Maha and I were chatting about the things women talk about. She told me about her shopping, at the minimarket on the hospital grounds, in preparation for their expected return to Gaza. "My sister-in-law told me to buy us a lot of candles," she remarked, "because, you know, there's no electricity most of the time now." We contemplated this bleak picture together in silence for a few moments.

"So I asked the clerk at the shop to sell me some candles that will last a long time," Maha continued. "And he showed me these fat, tall ones that are encased in a solid glass container…" I could feel the hair lifting on the back of my neck. "He said they would burn for a week, so I bought a whole bunch of them," concluded Maha, oblivious, as I sat there, dumbstruck. She was describing the traditional Jewish shiv'a candle - the candle of bereavement lit by Jewish families all over the world for the seven days of mourning on the death of a loved one.

As this ghastly December drew to its grim close, Maha still had enough fuel left to run a small generator for an hour every day or two, so she could get online and do some emails or charge her mobile phone. I got an email saying they are OK ("bombs falling nearby but not on us, so far") and I sent my love and prayers for the family. As of New Year's Eve, I knew they were still alive because I got an e-card from Maha yesterday. Her message said: Dear Deb, I wish you and your children a Happy New Year and a long, happy, healthy and successful life. May every day of the New Year glow with good cheer and happiness for you and your family… Love and best wishes, Maha.

TERRORISM ON ITS 8th DAY



Day 8 of Israeli War On Gaza

An Another Baby Killed In Gaza

A baby has been killed and dozens of others injured by Israeli fire in Gaza and the West Bank after Israel rejected American ideas for ending seven months of violence.

Medical officials said the four-month-old girl, Iman Hajo, died as Israeli forces shelled Khan Younis town and refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip.

"Shrapnel went into her abdomen and came out of her back," a doctor at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis told Reuters news agency.

The baby's mother Suzanne Hajo, was seriously wounded in the attack and 24 others were slightly injured.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said he was sorry and that Israel troops did not intend to harm children.

The death brings the number killed since September, according to some reports, to 513, of which 425 - a considerable have been on the Palestinian side.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army kept up pressure in the West Bank, entering two more Palestinian-controlled areas and destroying a Palestinian police post at Tulkarm with bulldozers.

Eleven Palestinians were injured during an exchange of machine-gun fire.

On Sunday, Mr Sharon flatly rejected a US-led commission's plea to end building Jewish settlements on occupied land.

Mr Sharon was responding at a cabinet meeting to an unpublished report into the seven months of violence by an international team led by former American senator George Mitchell.

The Mitchell report was handed to the Israelis and the Palestinians on Friday and they were asked not to make any public comment on it for a fortnight.

Leaks

But there have been several leaks: One extract says that it will be hard to stop the violence unless all settlement building in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is frozen.


Mr Sharon reluctantly met the Mitchell commission when it was gathering evidence in Israel. But he described the investigation as an "historic mistake".

Mr Sharon said on Sunday that settlements should only be discussed "within the framework of the final status negotiations," according to Israeli radio.

Palestinians have broadly welcomed the report because of its recommendation on settlement building.

But their most often repeated demand - for a peacekeeping force to be sent to the region - is not echoed in the report, according to sources.

Rejection

Israel has rebuffed a call by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for a summit to discuss the findings of the Mitchell report.

Responding to Mr Arafat's initiative, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said on Saturday that such a meeting would be possible only if it was clear "what its outcome will be and how it will start".

"It cannot start while the shooting continues... Either you shoot or you talk," he told Israeli television.

Mr Arafat called for an international summit in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to discuss the report.
