'Eretz Israel' or greater Israel is a political Jewish-Zionist ideology which was promulgated by European Jews since 1897. It calls for the creation of a Jewish state stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.
The ideology was implemented 50 years later by the United Nations. In 1948 the UN partitioned Palestine into a Jewish and Palestinian state without the consultation of the majority of its Muslim and Christian population.
The designated 53% portion of the land of Palestine was to become the state of Israel inspite of the fact that the majority of its population were Palestinians.
Since its creation, Israel began to implement its expantionist policy by forcing out hundreds of thousands of Palestians.Others fled as a result of fear after the massacre of Dir Yassin. Furthermore, more than 500villages were demolished by the Israeli military forces in order to prevent Palestinians to return to their homes.
Prior to the 1967 War, Israel was in full control of 78% of what used to be Palestine. After the war and the occupation of the West Bank, Israel built more than 250 Jewish settlements.
The construction and the annexation of Palestinian lands in the West Bank were in violation of all UN resolutions, the International Court of Justice, and the Geneva Accord Treaty of 1948.
Anyone criticising Israeli policy towards the Palestinians is branded as an anti-Semitic.
For further information, please read the book entitled 'Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians' by the Israeli Professor Ilan Pappe. The book was published in September 2007 by the National Book Network.

Let's face it. There is no one in the world who has the power to stand against Israel. U.S. Politicians know that it is political suicide to even think of diagreeing with Israeli policy.
ReplyDeleteIsrael is supported by the American Jewish community, which has many positive humanitarian interests, but a blind spot when it comes to their pet project. The Jewish community controls a large percentage of the wealth in this country, but more importantly they are very politically active. They leverage the wealth of their community by controlling the membership of the U.S. Congress, and ultimately control the presidency. Their lobbying is second to none and almost every member of the community is active in some way.
