Is it possible to support Israel?
Amongst the numerous letters here, a small amount are supportive of Israel, mentioning this or that Palestinian behaviour.
I think one has to go back to the very beginning: Israel is a colonialist state that chased Palestinians out of their territory in 1948. They oppose their return which is in complete denial of international rights.
With its colonies, this racist state has endlessly practised ethnic cleansing in order to increase its own territory. It has violated UN recommendations for sixty years, obviously protected by Europe and the United States. These countries need a cop in the Middle-East to control the oil.
Israel is moaning against possible nuclear weapons in the neighbouring countries but they have at least 200 nuclear warheads, illegally installed.
Israel pretends to be ‘the only democracy in the Middle-East’ (as if an apartheid regime could be democratic!) However, Israeli's allies in the Middle-East (United Emirates, Kuwait, Egypt...) are all atrocious dictatorships.
Furthermore, as soon as Palestinians from Gaza ‘vote wrongly’, Israel immediately enforces blocades or endless repression.
Those who criticise some of the actual Palestinian political movements forget to say that previously, Israel destroyed left-wing or nationalist parties in Palestine. And that they systematically refused to negociate with Yasser Arafat whilst pretending the opposite.
All of the above is proven by historians (including Israelis such as Shlomo Sand and Benny Morris), declarations from Zionist leaders themselves and testimonies from progressive Jews nowadays.
The colonialists are now complaining about rocket attacks and acts of terrorism. Certainly, not all methods are convenient. But since the oppressors, super-armed, have deprived the oppressed of any means of legal action, could you please be so kind as to indicate the convenient way to resist?
There won't be any solution in the Middle-East without enforcing a real democracy for all. And thus recognising all the rights of the Palestinian people.
Yes, some Israelis are also suffering (they suffer from poverty and consequences of racial discrimination imposed by Israeli leaders). The Internet enables us to open the debate, here and now, about the real causes of the problem. By highlighting the medialies and distortions of history.
There is no peace without justice.
