If you are a Jewish family
living in Europe, you are expected to conform to the mindset that the
state of Israel is your personal insurance policy should anti-Semitism
again become mainstream and Jews are prohibited from holding public
office, or any office. A time when concentration camps will spring up in
London’s Hyde Park and under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. A
time when the horrors of another Holocaust could be visited upon the
now reborn Jewish communities of France and England.
That is what Mr Netanyahu and
his extremist right-wing government would have you believe as they
continue with their illegal settlement of now 400,000 Israeli citizens
in the Occupied Palestinian West Bank, in violation of the 4th Geneva
Convention on Human Rights (GCIV). That is what they would have you
believe as they continue their blockade of essential goods and services
to 1.8 million
ordinary families in Gaza in a deliberate policy to
starve the indigenous population into submission in this, its eighth
year and subsequent to the attempt by the IDF to totally destroy the
infrastructure during its viciously unprovoked attack upon the civilian
population in July 2014. And Mr Netanyahu is not wrong, as his policies
are increasingly successful in driving anti-Jewish sentiment throughout
Europe in an expression of disgust at this anachronistic,
neo-colonialism of the 21st century, supported and funded by a United
States Congress paid to carry out the will of the American Zionist
Council.
That the UN General Assembly
Resolution 181, for partition, in 1947 was a substantial error of
judgement being an act of political expediency by a minority of the
international community, is only now being fully appreciated for the
terrible tragedy that it has become as the Middle East descends into a
violent chaos unknown in modern times. This is the legacy of a political
movement that has been allowed to circumvent international law in its
bid for regional power and hegemony and to indulge in criminal activity
in the Occupied Territories – supported and funded, even today, by a
lobby in America that allows others to bear the direct consequences of
its actions.
Yet the situation is even worse
than that which is already apparent for Israel is, in addition to being a
neo-colonial power, also the only undeclared nuclear weapons state on
the planet with an estimated secret arsenal of up 400 nuclear warheads –
entirely outside the inspection of the IAEA. This is a brief snapshot
of the result of the global submission to the neo-colonial ideology of
Political Zionism in the 21st century. That there is an urgent
requirement for a paradigm shift to be initiated by the European Union,
is a need that now screams out for action.
The continuing dispossession and
persecution of an indigenous people that has been the regional majority
in the Holy Land, uninterrupted for over a thousand years, is a
movement that now needs to be confronted and discontinued without
further delay. Otherwise, there will be a war that will impact not only
the Middle East but the whole of Europe. There is an urgent imperative
for action. The European Union must act because Political Zionism is a
movement that is very clearly not in God’s name.
