The complete text of The origin of Palestine-Israel Conflict
============================================================
Published by Jews for Justice in the Middle East
As the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for an
equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the conflict.
The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the
Palestinians are irrational "terrorists" who have no point of view worth
listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians have a real
grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their
consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And
all subsequent crimes - on both sides - inevitably follow from this original
injustice.
This paper outlines the history of Palestine to show how this process
occurred and what a moral solution to the region's problems should consist
of. If you care about the people of the Middle East, Jewish and Arab, you owe
it to yourself to read this account of the other side of the historical
record.
Introduction
============
The standard Zionist position is that they showed up in Palestine in the late
19th century to reclaim their ancestral homeland. Jews bought land and
started building up the Jewish community there. They were met with
increasingly violent opposition from the Palestinian Arabs, presumably
stemming from the Arabs' inherent anti-Semitism. The Zionists were then
forced to defend themselves and, in one form or another, this same situation
continues up to today.
The problem with this explanation is that it is simply not true, as the
documentary evidence in this booklet will show. What really happened was that
the Zionist movement, from the beginning, looked forward to a practically
complete dispossession of the indigenous Arab population so that Israel could
be a wholly Jewish state, or as much as was possible. Land bought by the
Jewish National Fund was held in the name of the Jewish people and could
never be sold or even leased back to Arabs (a situation which continues to
the present).
The Arab community, as it became increasingly aware of the Zionists'
intentions, strenuously opposed further Jewish immigration and land buying
because it posed a real and imminent danger to the very existence of Arab
society in Palestine. Because of this opposition, the entire Zionist project
never could have been realized without the military backing of the British.
The vast majority of the population of Palestine, by the way, had been Arabic
since the seventh century A.D. (Over 1200 years)
In short, Zionism was based on a faulty, colonialist world view that the
rights of the indigenous inhabitants didn't matter. The Arabs' opposition to
Zionism wasn't based on anti-Semitism but rather on a totally reasonable fear
of the dispossession of their people.
One further point: being Jewish ourselves, the position we present here is
critical of Zionism but is in no way anti-Semitic. We do not believe that the
Jews acted worse than any other group might have acted in their situation.
The Zionists (who were a distinct minority of the Jewish people until after
WWII) had an understandable desire to establish a place where Jews could be
masters of their own fate, given the bleak history of Jewish oppression.
Especially as the danger to European Jewry crystalized in the late 1930's and
after, the actions of the Zionists were propelled by real desperation.
But so were the actions of the Arabs. The mythic "land without people for a
people without land" was already home to 700,000 Palestinians in 1919. This
is the root of the problem, as we shall see ,...
