Great Israel, Israel and Palestina

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Second Cold War

Abstract

On May 22, 2012, Barack Obama gave a speech to the Israeli lobby group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which has always exercised a lot of influence in the domestic politics of the United States by funding both Democratic and Republican candidates, and which consequently had a powerful influence on US international policy. In his talk, Obama said that a Palestinian State should be recognized according to the borders of 1967, before the Six Day War, warning that the isolation of Israel would grow without a reliable peace process in the Middle East.

A return to the 1967 borders was objectively and practically unfeasible. Israel wouldn’t even accept the return of the expelled Palestinians, since the regions occupied in the wars of 1947, 1967 and 1973 already had towns with luxurious neighborhoods, hospitals and universities. The Israelis wouldn’t give up these areas. And an agreement through a swap, an exchange of lands, as suggested by President Obama, also didn’t seem feasible. Additionally, the return of the Palestinians would mean the end of the ethnocratic, nationalist state with its religious and mystical ethos. In 2012, Israel had an estimated population of 7.6 million citizens, 5.7 million of which were Jews and almost 2 million Palestinians. It was surrounded by another 1.3 million Palestinians, 33% of which living with UN aid in refugee camps in the Gaza Strip (under the command of Hamas), and almost two million or more in the West Bank, administered by the Palestinian Authority, but also populated by more than 350,000 Israeli settlers, who controlled a vast area.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The idea of the State of Israel as a national home was born with the Ashkenazi Jew Tivadar Herzl, who sought financial support from the Rothschild family. The Dismemberment of Palestine was consummated with the Treaty of Sèvres (1920).

  2. 2.

    In 1919, there were around 65,000 Jews in Palestine in a population estimated at 700,000 inhabitants. Renouvin and Durosell (1967, p. 47), Hourani (1991, p. 323).

  3. 3.

    The Arabs had occupied Palestine for more than 1200 years, i.e., since the seventh century. The acquisition of land by Jewish immigrants from Europe began in the nineteenth century and after the First World War it continued with funds from the Jewish National Fund, on behalf of the Jewish people, and these lands could never be sold or leased back to the Arabs. But the Zionist project could already be achieved without the military support of Great Britain.

    The General Assembly of the UN didn’t approve a partition plan, but only accepted the principle proposed by UNSCOP. See: Israel’s borders after the 1947 UN partition plan (UN-RESOLUTION No. 181) in: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/UN_Partition_Plan_For_Palestine_1947_de.svg. Accessed 04.02.2015. NB: After 1948, practically all of Palestine, the international zone, the west of Syria (Golan) and southern Lebanon were gradually occupied by Israel and settled by Jewish settlers.

    The Jews who emigrated to Palestine spoke several languages, but only those from eastern Europe, the Ashkenazim, saw themselves as a nation and spoke Yiddish, a language that developed in the Middle Ages based on the German spoken in the region of the Rhine (Rheinland), with the influence of Hebrew, Slavic and other languages. Many Cossack Jews who served in the Imperial army in Russia, said they had their origins in Ashkenazi Jewish families from Kiev, Ladyzhin (a village on the banks of the Bug river) and Odessa. Brook (2010, p. 177). The Sephardi, Jews from the Iberian Peninsula, spoke and continued to speak Ladino (djudezmo), derived from the medieval Spanish, with influences from Hebrew, Turkish and Greek. Just as with Yiddish, however, Ladino or Judaeo-Spanish is only written in Hebrew characters.

    Ikhnaton or Amen-hotep IV of the 18th dynasty in Egypt, established a monotheistic religion in Egypt, represented by the god Aton, in order to take away the political power from the priests, especially those of the god Amon in the city of Thebes, and concentrate it in his own hands. (Freud 1967, p. 31–32.) After his death, the cult of Ikhnaton was banned in Egypt. The German Egyptologist Jan Assmann of the University of Heidelberg suggested that the cult of Ikhnaton caused an anti-monotheistic trauma in Egyptian cultural memory, which then led to anti-Hebrew sentiment in ancient Egypt (Assmann 2000, p. 77). The figure of Moses, therefore, was identified with the cult of Ikhnaton early on by the historian Manetho in the third century BC. However, Assmann denies that there is a causal relationship between the cult of Ikhnaton and Judaism (Assmann 2011, p. 47–48).

    With the support of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Shimon Peres, then director-general of the Ministry of Defense, the scientist Ernst David Berman, the son of a rabbi who had fled Nazi Germany, developed the program in the mid-1950s of the twentieth century. The first nuclear reactor in Israel was established near the Mediterranean, in Nahal Sorek, and Israel counted on the cooperation of France, which ceded nuclear material and scientists to collaborate in the construction of reactors.

    OPEC was created in 1960 as a cartel to coordinate the oil production policies of its members, most of which from the Middle East, such as Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. African states, such as Libya, Algeria and Nigeria, as well as Venezuela, also participated in OPEC.

    In 1973, President Richard Nixon, facing the deterioration of the fiscal crisis in the United States, had to devalue the dollar by 10%, breaking both the Smithsonian Agreement and the European Joint Float, and paving the way for the free floating currencies. The dollar, which only the United States could produce, became the international reserve currency. General Charles de Gaulle, President of France (1959–1969), then accused the United States of taking on an “exorbitant privilege”, to the extent that it could continue financing its deficits by issuing more dollars and putting them into circulation.

    The Ashkenazim Jews, according to the writer Arthur Koestler and various scholars, were not ethnically of Hebrew origin. They were descended from the khazars, a people that adopted Judaism as the official religion probably around 740, during the reign of the bek Bulan Sabriel, perhaps due to the influence of his wife Serakh, who was Jewish, and/or his descendant Obadiah, due to contacts with the Jews of Persian origin persecuted by the Byzantine Empire, ancestors of the Mountain Jews, known as Juhuros, who lived in the East and North Caucasus, especially in Dagestan, Chechnya and Azerbaijan. According to Arthur Koestler, these Jews were ethnically closer related to the Hungarian, Magyar and Uighur tribes than with the seeds of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Khanate of Khazar occupied a strategic position between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and was destroyed by the Arabs between the seventh and eighth centuries. This led to a diaspora. A substantial part of the Khazar Jews fled to Poland, and another established itself in the region of the Rhine, Palatinate, Freiburg, Ulm and Heidelberg, in Germany, as well as in France. Brook (2010, pp. xi, 3, 126–127, 200–201), Koestler (1976, p. 13–19, 154–166, 223–226).
