"Zionism matters" (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
The war that Israel is waging against the Palestinian people with its procession of ethnic
cleansing and war crimes did not start either in 1967 or even in 1948. It dates back to
the early twentieth century when the Zionists began their colonial conquest. "Solutions"
like the Oslo Accords who wanted to avoid addressing controversial issues (occupation,
colonization, apartheid, racism ...) finally broke. It is now clear that then was a great
illusion. ---- Pierre Stambul is co-chair of the French Jewish Union for Peace, friend of
AL, and also author of From refusing to be complicit with the commitment released in 2012.
---- This year he published the book Zionism in matters which offers complete tune on what
Zionism and returns on all the myths that he has built. The book disassembled into
several, biblical myths like the alleged Exodus (heard that the majority of the world's
Jews are descendants of converted-es-es from the great North African households and
Yiddish, while the descendants of Jews antiquity are mostly Palestinians), he returned to
the emergence of Zionism as a product of both European anti-Semitism as a project from
within the context of the emergence of nationalist ideologies born in Europe in the
nineteenth and early twentieth century, and of course as a product of European colonial
enterprise.
Historical facts recorded in the book can only dismantle the idea that Zionism could be a
response to anti-Semitism as the famous agreements Haavara where the Zionist Executive
allows the Nazis to bypass the international boycott in exchange for the transfer of Jews
to Palestine.
The large common myths left on Israel are also removed, the kibbutz and its
self-management socialism exclusively for Jews and on stolen Palestinian land until the
Hisdraout, the Israeli union whose exploits were first to break the Palestinian strike of
1936 and which advocated the defense of the Jewish labor only.
Pierre Stambul stressed that Zionism as anti-Semitism, primarily an ideology of
separation, taking the premise that Jews and non-Jews can not live together.
Quick and easy to read, it is essential to read today to be able to meet various
opponents, the Zionist propagandists as to those who say everything and anything to
Zionism, so as to fight against debasement complotiste the expression of anti-Zionism.
This book is a great tool!
