Numerous scholarly sources treated this subject including publications by the British government, the Arab League, the United Nations, and other sources. When professing impartiality toward the subject, Zionist literature and propaganda are the worst source of information. A reliable source of figures on Jewish Emigration to Palestine is the Encyclopedia Britannica EDITION 1929. Although, its entry to Zionism has been written by Zionists or their sympathizers (for instance, it treated Palestine as if it were uninhabited as there has been no mention whatsoever, of the Palestinians!) that edition, because it was written much long before the foundation of Israel (where Zionism was not an international force), provides somewhat early figures on the size of the early emigration to Palestine. Also, we call on readers to carry out their own research by visiting the archives of the British Library to draw their own conclusions.

However, in searching and writing this series and enumerating the magnitude of European Jewish emigration to Palestine, we depended on a source whose detailed documentation are immune from the infantile vilification and banal fanfare raised by some Zionist agitators without clue on history or the dialectics of discussion. Further, to inform the readers, when we wrote the series, we did not consider discussing the statistics on Jewish emigration to Palestine such an important topic because the MAIN AND ONLY issue was defining Israeli Zionist racism in its objective context as it is practiced today by the Israeli state.

Document: Population of Ottoman and Mandate Palestine Statistical and Demographic Considerations, the Population of Palestine Prior to 1948

URL: http://www.mideastweb.org/palpop.htm

This is an extensive study that we recommend reading.

Extract: In table 1: the population of Jewish faith that lived in Palestine in 1878 was 3.2% of the population or 15,001 individuals. BUT People of Jewish faith who were foreign-born were 2.1% or an estimated 10,000 individuals and most probably they moved to Palestine for religious motives rather to form a state. Otherwise, the Ottomans who rules Arab lands at that time under the “aegis” of the Ottoman Islamic Caliphate would have never allowed it. But this number is significant: it means, in that specific year there were about 5000 native people Jewish faith who lived in Palestine. Those 5000 people and their descendants are natural to the land thus have full rights to Palestine.

Maybe, but it has a circulation of over 1.5 million a week.

And the default choice for those who haven’t selected “ink” (negotiations) as an option…is blood.

So spare us the crocodile tears, Angie. You’ve made your choice, now live with it. But spare us the pretensions of being a “peace” activist.

He wasn’t interested enough to ascertain whether I had replied to his hilariously asinine allegation, nor did he read my comments above. If he had, he’d not have me laughing uproariously by repeating his “question” here. Did I not state clearly I do not respond to questions put to me by supporters of Israeli terrorism? Learn to read, Jamie. That would be a welcome beginning. Then, perhaps, you could study history not attempt to rewrite it.

The National Post is a zionist cheering excuse for a newspaper, hardly a shining example of unbiased and objective journalism.

The infamous Barbara Kay (who foolishly and tellingly dragged Bernard Lewis, an Armenian holocaust denier, into the mix) may some day cease floundering about in zioinist disinformation and attempting to pass it off as truth; however, after reading her totally ineffectual and meaningless replies to Mr. Petersen learned comments, I doubt that will ever happen.

Run along, Jamie. You are more to be pitied than blamed, continually regurgitating, as you do, the same brainwashed rhetoric we see wherever zionists gather. There is not an original thought in anything you’ve written.

Foolish, unproven allegations, interspersed with flippant nothing comments, do not a contribution to a discussion make.

Angie wrote: “hitherto little known Barbara Kay…”

Little known to you maybe, but she’s has a regular column with a real newspaper that has an audience of literally millions of people in Canada.

What will it be?

Ongoing warfare until either the Palestinians or the Israelis become extinct? (Blood)
Or a negotiated homeland for the Palestinian Arabs, side by side with the majority Jewish state of Israel? (ink)

Hint: Israel already exists.

Please expand and accelerate the divestment campaigns against Israel!
Please implement all the UN Security Council resolutions against Israel!
Viva Palestine!

p.s. Capitalists are anti-Jew; Socialists are not anti-Jew, they are
anti-zionism!

What can be more racist than the concept of a jews only state? Or a whites only state? Or a blacks only state? The mere suggestion reeks of an arrogance and bigotry that causes us to draw back in disgust. It’s even more nauseous when that racism is denied and/or foolish attempts made to defend same. The racism so deeply entrenched in zionism cannot be defended.

When people of good conscience ignore racism, wherever its ugliness appears, we are failing in our mission to identify it and eradicate it. In the case of zionism and its odious entity, Israel, we cannot remain silent, and we cannot allow the truth to be pushed aside by supporters of this terrorist regime and its inherent racist policies and practices, while it and its supporters world wide pretend such racism is non-existent. The belligerent nationalism and racism of Israel, coupled with its arrogant, unsubstantiated belief that its people are superior to all others, represents zionism in all its indefensibility.

When supporters of Israeli terrorism make loathsome, racist comments that reach the public domain, immediately we are treated to the familiar and wearisome “the remark has been taken out of context”. God forbid that the sick, distorted, hate-filled mindset of Israeli politicians and rabbis be repeated, discussed, condemned by a listening world. Which is why the minute such diatribes are published in some media outlet, be it print or television, the Israeli propaganda machine leaps into action.

Israeli politicians and rabbis, however, are not the only ones who let their barely concealed civility slip to reveal their racist tendencies. I recall a spiel by Israeli writer, A.B. Yehoshua, (which appeared in Ha’aretz on March 19, 2004) wherein he urged in part: “After we take out the settlements, we would use force against an entire population, use force in a total manner. We would cut off the electricity in Gaza. We would cut off communications in Gaza. We would stop fuel supply to Gaza. It won’t be a desirable war, but definitely a purifying one.”

Certainly the Israeli government and military, as we see today, paid attention to this warmongering individual purporting to be, as writer, Ran HaCohen, described him as “an old peacenik”. (Who knew, then, that he had been secretly harbouring a passion for the extermination of Gaza and its people?)

Not to be outdone, Israeli poet, Ilan Shenfeld, in an overwrought impassioned plea to the war criminals in the Israeli government and military in the July 30, 2006 edition of Ynet, begged them (in part) to: “March on Lebanon and also on Gaza with ploughs and salt. Destroy them to the last inhabitant”.

This sort of thing, thanks to the zionist controlled media, rarely gets beyond the initial outburst before it’s pushed under the proverbial rug, denied outright, or was “taken out of context”. All one has to do, however, is pay attention to Israeli newspapers, periodicals from zionist groups around the globe, statements made by Israeli “spokespersons”, etc. to realize how rampant these racist statements are.

Which is why, of course, there are the Jamies of open forums (the names change, but the content never does) whose job it is to disrupt learned discussion by whatever means possible. We know the diversionist tactics by heart, and Jamie covered them all. There is a plea for honesty, implying dishonesty where none exists except in his own spiels; the ever present ridiculous reference to anti semitism and its derivatives, culminating with claims that readers want Israel destroyed. This is followed by a reference to another conflict occurring (or having had occurred) elsewhere in the world in an effort to draw our attention away from Israeli atrocities. Then there is a list of questions with an explicit or implied demand to reply to same, always with the constant irritating accusation “you didn’t answer my question”.

To the Jamies who hang around open forums such as DV and elsewhere waiting to attack writers and equally the posters who defend them, take note. I do not respond to questions put to me by individuals supporting the terrorist state of Israel and its racism — period. This is a well known tactic destined to waste people’s time. It’s a game I refuse to play.

We don’t need to look very far to be disgusted by Israeli racism — its racist marriage laws and jews-only roads are but a small part of it. The very essence of the state of Israel is racist, and one should always be cognizant of this fact.

It’s a place built by force, and maintained by force, in someone else’s homeland, whose brutal history has been rewritten by zionist revisionists; a place where sadistic war criminals continue to escape punishment for their terrorist activities; a place where jews have their own laws, their own rights; a place where killing Palestinian and Lebanese people is applauded, and, in fact, encouraged; where torture is legal; where no one ever stands trial for the continual murder of Palestinian people, the destruction of their homes and lands, the curtailment of their freedoms and rights. In fact, the rights of the Palestinian people in their own homeland have been eradicated by a cruel, vicious, lying occupier caught up in its self-absorbed, whining victim persona which is quite laughable, really, in light of its murderous army and its cache of every weapon known to man including its nuclear capabilities. And there are fools out there who actually believe this blather.

Which is why this excellent series by Kim Petersen and B.J. Sabri is so hugely important. It dispels much of the misinformation and outright lies fed to the public on a continual basis by supporters of Israeli brutality and Israeli racism.

My hope is that this series, showing the courage and determination of its authors in fighting zionist racism and its revisionist disinformation, will become a guiding light for all progressives as the fight against evil continues.

As for the Jamies of this world, all is not lost. He and his ilk can always serve as a bad example.

(sorry, this went before I finished it or pressed anything!)

I use the nickname myself. May I assume the questions I asked about sources are going to be answered?

Yitz

I’ve never seen Borat but your synopsis is an excellent example of Zionism effect on culture. Culture influence perception and ultimately policies that the people support or persuaded to support. This yet another example of a problem being ignored by the “left” and why this series by Kim and BJ is extremely important.

A zionist (he vacations in Israel) makes an ignorant racist character who’s ancestors threw Jews down wells…It’s soooooo fun laughing at him and all those dirty terrorists he “represents”, right?

Per above:

“The tentacles of Zionism have pervaded much of the western world, in large part aided by infiltration of foreign governments and control of the corporate media.”

This is a very basic premise of the Protocols.

If it was good enough for the Tsar and Hitler, and good enough for Hezbollah and The Hamas, it’s certainly good enough for Petersen, Sabri, and apparently Ralphie, Hughie and you other nice village people.

This one’s for you sweetie! Take it away Borat!

“OK sometimes he borrows from the Protocols or whatever’s handy.”

Who besides Putz a would say “Yitz.” Or hysterically accuse someone else of being hysterical while hysterically referencing the Protocols as part of an attempted smear campaign. Jaime, what a Putz you are!!
