Only he to whom the land doesn’t belong is capable of burning it
With regards to the recent fires in the “Jewish
State” we can only agree with Naftali Bennett who tweeted: “Only he to whom the land doesn’t belong is capable of burning it”. He is the right-wing Minister
of Education and the President of the Party “Jewish Home” and the “Settlers‘
King” who made of the racist settlers‘ party a powerful coalition partner
within the Netanyahu regime. And it is him who dreams of Eretz Israel, the Great Israel, from the
Mediterranean to Jordan, and in addition wants to annex big parts of the illegally
occupied West Bank.

Who does the land belong to? Certainly not to
the ethnic cleansing Jewish occupiers who have displaced the indigenous
Palestinian people. As a consequence of the fires, Bennett and his right-wing
colleague, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman called for an expansion of Jewish
settlements on occupied land and promptly authorized the building of 500 new
settlement units! Also in this instance, the coward members of the German
Government have remained silent because for them the existence of “a Jewish state”
takes an important priority over human rights and international law.

This raises the question of “why is the Jewish state
burning?” The majority of the hundreds of millions of trees planted since the
Nakba by the Jewish National Fund, are conifers and particularly pines. The
trees were planted for the benefit of the Jewish European immigrant ethnic
cleansers so as to enable them to feel at home in a land for which they had no love,
but simply wanted to possess.

Since Biblical times, trees planted in Palestine
were suited for the dry land – such as olive trees – which were vital for the
livelihood of Palestinian farmers and their families. Other trees included
carob, mulberry, and low oaks which were all ecologically suitable vegetation. Such
trees were and are still being systematically destroyed by the Zionist
intruders to deprive the Palestinians of their livelihood.

This raises a further question of whether the
current and previous fires – such as the 2010 Mount Carmel forest fire – were
natural or cases of deliberate arson. The use of European monoculture to
transform the “Jewish State” into a “Small Switzerland” is, however, doomed to
failure. From the beginning, the Zionist intruders spoke about “Arabs” condescendingly
with the Palestinians and their land being referred to as “uncultured” and “uncultivated” as compared to
the blossoming “Jewish” landscapes which alone were worthy of praise.

Consequently the effectiveness of this hasbara (propaganda)
has deceived the whole world into overlooking the ethnic cleansing of Palestine
while accepting Israel’s “green-wash” disinformation including that relating to
the drainage of important lakes and water sources of the indigenous Palestinian
inhabitants. The scarcity of water for Palestinians has been further exacerbated
by decades of unrestricted theft by Israel of Palestinian water that is then used
to supply the illegal settlements. The extensive damage caused by such water
theft in the illegally occupied West Bank and the barbarically blockaded Gaza
Strip is indescribable! So far, the endless
decades-long ethnic cleansing of Palestine has been tolerated by the
hypocritical international community in general, and by the West and Germany in
particular.

From the beginning, Zionism’s aim has been to erase
the memory of the Nakba by rewriting history in favour of Israel and Judaising the
map of Palestine. Such blatant “Nakba denial” must be also criminalized in line
“Holocaust denial.” It is not without reason that the powerful Israel lobby repeatedly
endeavours to prevent exhibitions that present the truth about the “Nakba” and
the brutal forced expulsions that preceded and followed the Israeli Declaration
of Independence.

Since its foundation in 1948, with its Zionist
exclusive right to the stolen land, the “Jewish State” has not only
systematically violated human rights and international law, but also all accepted
ecological standards. The destruction of Palestinian fields and olive groves;
the systematic poisoning of fields of Palestinian farmers; and the ethnic
cleansing by the “Jewish State,” Jewish settlers, the Jewish National Fund JNF/KKL
under the guise of green-washing and international sponsorship that only served
the colonialism of an Apartheid Jewish State. In this regard, Germany stands
guilty of always donating more woods in the name of German Federal Regions or
with the name of politicians (Mißfelder!) for the JNF and Israel. While
Palestinians are displaced and their trees destroyed, German politicians spectacularly
plant trees in the “Jewish State” like German Foreign Minister Steinmeier!

It is frightening that to this day the false Zionist
sound bite of “a land without people, for a people without land” continues to
justify land expropriations despite international human rights laws prohibiting
such practices. A particularly bad example in this context is the so called “Canada
Park” grassed for millions of Dollars by the Himnuta Organisation, a 99%
subsidiary company of JNF/KKL on the ruins of Palestinian villages, with secret
financial sources and expenses. (1)

For these “green-washers” the future
US-President Donald Trump comes just at the right time, having already supported
Israel’s right to have Jerusalem as its capital! Under the guise of
environmental protection — at the expense of the Palestinian people, and by
means of the land dispossession supported by German-Israeli projects in
forestry and irrigation — this will in time become possible through continual illegal
occupation and by dispossession of the land and water resources of a people “thirsty
for justice”.

Without the displacement of Palestinians there
would be no “Jewish State.” It was the infamous Josef Weitz, President of the Jewish
National Fund, and one of the most fanatic advocates of “transferring” the
Palestinians who in 1940 noted in his diary that “the transfer does not just pursue the aim to
reduce the Arab population, but it also serves for the second objective which
is not unimportant and consists of emptying the land cultivated by Arabs to
make it free for Jewish settlement. The only solution is to transfer the Arabs
from here to the neighbouring countries. We have not to omit neither one
village nor one tribe.” All this and much more is cited by Ilan Pappe in his
commendable book The Ethnic Cleansing of
Palestine.

To this day, this “transfer” concept has been is
the policy of both politicians in the “Jewish State” and of Jewish
Saloon-Zionists in diaspora. That policy has included as its first priority the
denial to Palestinian refugees their legitimate right of return to their
homeland so as to conquer all of Palestine – in violation of international law
– for a strictly “Jewish start.”

However, as long as the duplicitous Western “community

the illegal occupation are not extinguished, the “Jewish State” will burn.

From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free!
