ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever:

July 21, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

It always amazes me that Israel Shamir, who is Jewish but not a 
Zionist, is allowed
to write the way he writes.  Here is another Original Shamir - seeing 
what we see
but from an unusual slant:

[START]

Avnery's Two States idea is fully applicable everywhere, if it applicable in
Palestine.

Wolf, Lamb and Ouroboros
by Israel Shamir

A perfect propaganda man could make cat lick mustard, at least by pushing
mustard up under cat's tail, Bertolt Brecht wrote.  Avnery's last essay
called The Bi-National State[1] is a similar exercise: he wants us to love
and accept the Jewish state, for (he claims) the fate of Palestinians would
be worse without it.

Why it is better for Palestinians to be locked up in their small enclaves
than to be equal citizens of the whole of Palestine? In a mental somersault,
Avnery breaks a new ground in public discourse and proclaims: Jews can't
live with non-Jews. The Jew and the Goy are like wolf and lamb; if you want
the Wolf dwell with the Lamb, please provide a fresh lamb every day. There
was, I understand, a slight difference of opinion who of the twain is a
wolf, (classic Zionists clamoured the lamb skin), but Avnery leaves us in no
doubt: while sojourning together, the Goy will lose to the Jew. In his own
words, "In a joint state, if it were to be set up, the Jews would dominate
the economy and most other aspects of the state, and try very hard to
preserve that situation."

Well, this is the opinion of many men in many countries. They point up
Jewish dominance in Hollywood and the media, as well as in banking and
finance from Moscow with its oligarchs to New York and Washington and
conclude as Avnery does: the Jews can not live in one state with non-Jews,
for the Jews would dominate the economy and most other aspects of the
state[2]. Usually they call for transfer of Jews, too. However, until the
present publication of the Avnery's ground-breaking article, this opinion
was effectively banned from majority of websites and printed media. Now, the
Counterpunch presented the discerned reader with the opinion, and none of
the ADL gang expressed shock or dissatisfaction. Indeed, if you support
Zionism you may express any opinion including that "the Jews can not live in
one state with non-Jews".

Avnery made a great improvement upon the old line by presenting it as
benevolent care for the weak goy: 'Let them have a separate state, for
otherwise Jews will dominate them'. But there is no reason to distinguish
between Palestine and other lands with sizeable Jewish communities. Here is
Rhodes, as Greeks said to a man who claimed he can jump very high - on the
isle of Rhodes. Avnery's idea is fully applicable everywhere, if it
applicable in Palestine. It should be equally applicable in the US, where a
Jewish state should be created soonest so that Jews wouldn't dominate the
Goyim.

The Jewish State of America (the JSA) does not have to be contiguous: it can
use the pattern established by Jews for the Goyim in Palestine. However, the
citizens of the JSA should not be allowed to vote in the USA, or influence
its discourse, or hold property in the USA, in full compliance with Avnery's
ideas on Palestine. Their property outside the boundaries can be dealt with
the same way the Jewish state in Palestine dealt with Gentile property. It
will solve the main problem on the way to democracy in Palestine presented
by Avnery, namely: "American Jewry has immense political, economic and media
might, and they will not lose it for many years to come".  The might of
American Jewry contained within the limits of the JSA would not matter much
for the rest of the world. It will solve the second problem presented by
Avnery: "the Arabs are becoming more and more the bogyman of the Western
world", for with the Jews safely contained in the JSA, the USA will pay
attention to its own interests and will become the best friend of the Arabs.
If that doesn't suffice, Jewish states can be created elsewhere too: the
Jewish state of France, the Jewish state of Russia, the Jewish state of
Germany, for Avnery's approach to Palestine contains a universal message.
(Germans actually tried to create a Jewish state in Poland, probably for the
same altruistic reasons.)

And then, we will be able to undo the Jewish state in Palestine. Extreme
Jewish nationalists from the settlements will trek back home to Brooklyn
(surely an integral part of the JSA), while millions of ordinary dwellers of
Palestine, of Jewish or other origin, will be able to live together in
peace.
