Racism, Not Defense, At The Heart Of Israeli Politics
By Joe Quinn
Signs of the Times
June 29, 2006
Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert came out and publicly stated something that every unbiased observer of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has privately known for many years: that, to the Israeli oligarchs, the life of an Israeli citizen is “more important” than that of a Palestinian.
Speaking of the recent mass murders by the Israeli army of Palestinian civilians in Gaza (which were ostensibly to stop the firing of impotent qassam rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot by the Palestinian resistance ) Olmert said: “I am deeply sorry for the residents of Gaza, but the lives, security and well-being of the residents of Sderot is even more important.”
Of course, Olmert’s comment, and the deep-seated racism at the heart of Israeli politics that it appears to belie, can possibly be rationalised with the claim that it is not unreasonable that an Israeli PM would be more concerned about the lives of Israeli citizens than those of the Palestinian ‘enemy’. After all, this is “war”, is it not? Well, yes and no. Yes, if your definition of “war” is:
- to dispossess an entire people from large parts of their land
- shepherd them into refugee camps
- exile others and refuse them a right to return
- manipulate international opinion via the mainstream press and demonise the dispossessed people as terrorists when they resist your brutal measures against them
- deprive them of any real means to resist yet when they do manage to strike back, portray them as being a greater source of evil than you
- isolate them from any international aid and begin a process of slowly making their lives into a living hell
- periodically murder them, including many children to an average of 600 per year and then lie about it and ensure that their suffering is played down in the international mainstream press.
Israel has done all of this, and much more…
