Jewish Cowboys and Arab Indians

by Voltaire - Sept 25, 2007

The Zionists are nothing if not clever. For decades they have appealed to the American right by analogizing the Israeli-Arab conflict to the struggles between the white settlers and the savage Indians. The moral is obvious-the "Palestinians had it coming" -just like the Apaches and Commanches. Unfortunately, the analogy is rubbish.

The Arabs had a settled community in Palestine, something which the Indians never had in North America. The Palestinians were never the marauding Bedouins which the Zionist propaganda paints them to be. The vast majority were peasants tilling the communal lands of the Ottoman Empire passed down from generation to generation. The rest were merchants and traders. Corn, wheat and cotton were grown by the Arabs in great abundance. Olive trees flourished on every arable hillside in the land. The orange groves of Jaffa and the vineyards of the Nashashibis were the envy of every copycat Zionist in Palestine. Great tobacco plantations and warehouses were run by the Palestinians. Their fisheries dotted the coastal plains. The soap making industry of the city of Nablus exported its scented products to Egypt, Syria and Europe. Arab shops and ancient homes dotted every city in the tiny land. There was no room for a second people-something which was never true of the vast north American continent.

The Arabs of Palestine were, surprisingly enough, for those indoctrinated with Zionist propaganda, an educated people. Many of their intellectuals had been educated at Oxford and Cambridge. They spoke and wrote perfect English. The members of the Arab Executive which visited England in the early 1920's to plead for the repeal of the Balfour Declaration were of such a class. They were lawyers and men of public affairs. The names of Musa Kazim al-Husseini and Nuri Es Said stand out among those who journyed to London and Paris after the war. These men wrote position papers to His Majesty's Government which resound to this day with impassioned eloquence and reasoned restraint. The Arabs of Palestine were largely a peaceful people. Unlike the Bedouin raiders of the desert they were preoccupied with agriculture and commerce.

What resemblance, then, is there between the Arabs of Palestine and the Indians of North America? Virtually none. In fact, the utterly savage Zionists from Russia with their hammers and sickles hiding behind their Biblical pretensions were, and are, the true savages. The Iroquois warrior scalping his victim is the true analog of the Zionist Khazar scalping the helpless Palestinian. American "cowboys" in Iraq need to stop slaughtering hapless Iraqis and find more suitable victims for their high tech weapons. The Khazar "Indians" of Russia are only a few scant miles to the north. Let the John Waynes of the armored cavalry turn Tel Aviv into the "Little Big Horn" of Moshe Dayan.
