The myths of zionism (book review)

Here's a summary of some of the points that Rose makes in his book.
__________________________________________________
The Khazar invaders say, “God gave them Israel.”
But what is this “Israel” they refer to?
Rose says there was never any land of “Israel.” It’s a zionist fabrication.
Palestine in Roman times consisted of three distinct lands (Samaria, Galilee and Judea) that almost always fought with each other, and never formed any united “state” against Roman rule. And Jews were only one population among many in the three lands.
Further back in time, there are no written records from the region of 3,000 years ago, suggesting a pre-literate people around the time of the biblical Moses that lacked any inkling of our modern concept of statehood.
Rose says David Ben-Gurion knew this, but promoted the lie for its political value. Ben-Gurion cast the zionist project in religious terms, and saw himself as the Messiah, the savior and redeemer of the Jewish people.
Herzl himself was not particularly religious. He considered invading Argentina or South Africa, but later decided that Jewish Biblical myths were useful.
Before I proceed further, I say that all national, political, and social movements are based on myths. The problem is when myths are used to justify mass murder, as the zionists use myths. Evil reduces a myth to a vicious lie -- or in the case of the “holocaust” -- a calculated hoax. Likewise, any violent defense of a myth reduces it to a lie.
Continuing with Rose’s book….
Khazar lie: Jews have always been persecuted.
Fact: On the contrary, Jewish medical and commercial expertise was highly valued in mediaeval Islamic countries, as it is in Iran today. The “Geniza” documents (a storehouse of records left by Jewish merchants and scholars in an 11th century Cairo synagogue, and discovered in the late 1800s) show that Jewish communities in mediaeval times were well integrated into Islamic culture and society. Indeed, from the historical angle it is very questionable to distinguish between “Arab” and “Jew.” In many ways, everyone lived under a Judaeo-Arabic-Islamic whole. When things did go awry in Jewish-Arab relations under Islam, it resulted from widespread bad times, and affected only certain locales, e.g., Cairo versus Alexandria.
Jewish theology scholar David Biale points out the favorable legal status of Jews in several medieval European countries, while most Gentiles were mere serfs.
In his book, Rose acknowledges the backlash against Jews during the Reformation, Counter-Reformation and Spain's Inquisition, but he notes that these periods were brief.
(And of course, Jews are now most powerful group in western countries.)
The main problems started with zionism. You already know that, but Rose backs it up by examining at the historical evidence – or the lack thereof.
Rose notes that the Jewish claims to Palestine are based on the western concept of “history,” which tends to be territorial, whereas Islamic “history” tends to be personal or clan-based.
Khazar lie: The Levant was a “land without people.” The Arabs neglected the land.
Fact: Palestinian society underwent dramatic forward developments under the Ottomans. Nablus flourished as Palestine's main trading and manufacturing center. Arabs drained marshes and transformed the soil, creating a prosperous agricultural sector. And what about all the Arab advances in science, math, and medicine during medieval times?
At the end of World War I there were 56,000 Jews and about a million Palestinians in Palestine. The Palestinians had lived there for centuries. Even though Jewish immigration more than doubled in the next five years, the Khazars were still a tiny minority in a “land without people.” Obviously the Khazar invasion could never have succeeded without British help. In the middle of the First World War, Britain’s entire imperial war cabinet - with one honorable exception, Edwin Montagu (a Jew) adopted zionism in exchange for the Jewish promise to get the USA into the war.
Khazar lie: Jews were historically “prevented” from returning to “Israel.
Fact: Jews have historically chosen to go anywhere but the Levant. Instead, they went to places like the USA. Most Jews, given a choice, would never go to Palestine. Herzl and the zionists knew this, and therefore bombed Jews in places like Iraq, forcing them to go to Palestine. During World War II, many European Jews wanted to go to the USA or Canada, but Bronfman and the World zionist organization would not allow this. They said it had to be Palestine or nothing. Hence zionists deliberately caused Jews to be stuck in Nazi detention centers.
Khazar lie: Jews have always regarded Palestine as their “homeland.”
Fact: More than 2,000 years ago, the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria described “homeland” ( patris) as one’s place of birth and education. There was Jewish pilgrimage to the temple at Jerusalem, but this meant reluctantly abandoning patris to visit what Philo called not "homeland", but a "strange land.”
Do Muslims call Arabia their “homeland”?
Jews of the past -- like Iranian Jews today – regarded the place where they were born as their “homeland.”
(I say that if the Khazars really want to go back to some historic “homeland,” then why don’t they go back to Khazaria?)
Khazar lie: Muslims are oppressive because Muslims had a gizyah system, or taxes levied on non-Muslims.
Fact: Rose notes that gizyah involved an exemption from military duty. Hence the gizyah tax was levied only on able-bodied men who avoided military duty. In early Islamic history, the rich paid proportionately more gizyah than the poor. Slaves, the very poor, and the homeless paid nothing. Nor did religious institutions. In short, gizyah functioned the same way as modern taxes. Unfortunately, cash-strapped Caliphs later perverted the gizyah system to fund wars and palaces, tapping the surplus of the high merchant class -- but then, rulers in every land exploit the revenue source if they are allowed to.
Khazar lie: Jews were cast into “exile” in Roman times after the fall of the second temple.
Fact: Long before the fall of the second temple, Jews lived in flourishing communities across the Mediterranean and beyond. The zionist enterprise is supposed to overcome “forcible dispersal,” but this "dispersal" was a natural condition, not a forcible one.
Khazar lie: Jews were imprisoned in various countries.
Fact: In 1949 the zionists started to bomb Iraqi Jews (with the help of Iraq's pro-British puppet government) to force Jews out of Iraq.
Iraqi Jews boast about their uninterrupted 2,500-year history from Babylon to Baghdad. Immediately after World War I, they joined the Iraqi national movement to throw out the British. Jewish culture flourished as part of Iraqi culture. Over a third of Iraq's top musicians were Jewish.
Iraqi Jews (i.e., Arabs) were strongly opposed the zionists. Menahem Daniel, a Baghdadi Jew, wrote to the zionists in 1922: "You are regarded as a threat to Arab national life. Please stay away.”
Therefore the zionists had to bomb them out.
Khazar lie: We must have Palestine in order to avoid another holocaust.
Fact: This does not merit a response.
Naturally the Khazars denounce all this exposure as “anti-Semitism.”




Excellent information!

"The Khazar invaders say, “God gave them Israel.”

And so I used to say to the israeli bloggers:
If there was a land without people [the Palestinians], why indeed are there so many Palestinian prisoners in this new bastard nation's gulags?
And if there was this land without a people [the Palestinians], well then why such a huge extravagant terrorist military needed to murder peace activists and children?
--Where did all these people come from?
--Did they just conjure themselves up out of thin air?
And if there was a land without people [the palestinians], why is so much of "israel" built on old park grounds, cemeteries, houses, and schools, and so on?
And if there was this land without people, why is it taking "israel" 60 plus years to get rid of these non-existent people? I posted this question on many sites. Good old beit shemesh, my sociopathic friend had my comment removed.
I think the questions overwhelmed his shriveled up gargoyle brain cells.
