INTERVIEW: Alan Hart, author of 'Zionism: The Real Enemy of Jews'

[Mukhtar_Scotland]

Alan Hart, author of 'Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews' will be our Guest on He will be answering your questions and will be with us for an hour, between 7.30pm to 8.30pm.

~o~

Alan Hart, has been engaged with events in the Middle East and their global consequences and terrifying implications – the possibility of a Clash of Civilisations, Judeo-Christian v Islamic, and, along the way, another great turning against the Jews – for nearly 40 years:

• As a correspondent for ITN's News At Ten and the BBC's Panorama programme (covering wars and conflicts wherever they were taking place in the world).

• As a researcher and author. (His first book Arafat, Terrorist or Peacemaker? was published by Sidgwick & Jackson in 1984 and subsequently in several updated editions over a decade).

• As a participant at leadership level, working to a Security Council background briefing, in the covert diplomacy of the search for peace.

Alan Hart thus brings to the pages of his latest book, Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, and to the debating chamber, a deep understanding of why, really, the Countdown to Armageddon is on and how it can be stopped.

The Zionism of the book's title is Jewish nationalism, the creating and sustaining force of modern Israel. And this Zionism, political Zionism, is not to be confused with what could be called the spiritual Zionism of Judaism. Awareness of the difference between political Zionism and Judaism is the key to understanding why it is perfectly possible to be passionately anti-Zionist without being in any way, shape or form anti-Semitic or anti-Israel inside its pre-1967 borders.

Alan hart has witnessed the war with the israeli and palestinians but the learning experience he values most, and which he believes gave him rare insight, came from his one-to-one private conversations over the years with many leaders on both sides of the conflict. For example, Golda Meir, Mother Israel, and Yasser Arafat, Father Palestine. The significance of these private conversations was that they enabled Alan to be aware of the truth of what leaders really believed and feared as opposed to what they said in public for propaganda and myth-sustaining purposes.

Alan has long believed that what peacemaking needs above all else is some truth-telling, about many things but, especially, the difference between Zionist mythology and real history, and, the difference between Jews and Judaism on the one hand and Zionists and Zionism on the other.
(The Zionism of the title and substance of Alan's latest book is, of course, political Zionism or Jewish nationalism as the creating and sustaining force of the Zionist state, not what could be called the spiritual Zionism of Judaism).

Hi Alan Hart

Thanks for taking time to come on the forum, very much appreciated, couple off questions:


1) Could you tell me what Zionism is - your definition of Zionism and who are the Zionist today?

2) carry on from the first question, could you tell us more about the alliance between the Christian fundamentalist and Zionism. Why do Christians fundamentalist support the state of Israel and back its aggressive policies against the innocent Palestinians?


Thanks.

Hello Alan

Thanks for taking time to come on the forum

What made you write your book Zionism:The real Enemy of the Jews?

[dark_knight]

how was the state of israel created?

what part did Britian play in this?

And what did this mean for its indigenous (the Palestinians)?

[dark_knight]

We are told that the Arabs rejected the proposed UN GA partition plan which planned to split Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. Is this true?

[dark_knight]

How can this conflict be stopped?

Is the two state solution the answer?

[(*Ramadhan]

Hi.

Zionists, are they the real enemy of the Jews or is this just a mere excuse? Does the zionist state exist to be the refuge of last resort of Jews everywhere and is this the solid ground for the survival of the Jewish people?


Your opinions will be appreciated.

[(*Ramadhan]

We know that they (Zionists) succeeded in influencing the British government to issue the Balfour Declaration concerning the "establishment of a national home for the Jews in the land of Israel" but why did the British government agree to this without the concent of the Rabbis as we know and not forgetting the Muslims who lived there. How did the British government alone get the authority to take this step?

[dark_knight]

what is the Husayn and McMahon document?

[iraniboy]

Hello Mr Alan Hart

Thanks for joining us in this forum.
Why do we seldom hear about Non-Zionist? Most people even don’t know if Zionism and Judaism are different! Is it because Zionists are outnumbered or it is because of Zionists’ resources and influences in medias.Why Non-Zionist Jews don’t have enough power to express themselves, globally?

Your efforts are realy appreciated.I think that would be appreciated by real Jews,too because you exstracted murdur and blood from a pure religion.It would show a better face from Jews and it is bases on truth.

[Tahira]

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer questions on the forum.

1) You have a lot of experience in the media - what is your advice to Muslims who want to get a better portrayal in the media for Islam, Muslims and issues such Palestine?

2) In your opinion what are the most important things British supporters of the Palestinian cause can do?

[dark_knight]

what is the Balfour Declaration?

[Duncan]

Hi,
I'm somewhat skeptical of government in general. If I could, I'd vote for the stuffed-shirt party that just does as it's told. Hence the following questions:

Is Zionism the enemy of the Jews or of Israelis?
Would you say Bush and Cheney et al are America's real enemy? (We've had some debates here as to whether they're really neo-cons, so I didn't use the word).
Did Blair do more harm than good to Britian and its interests?

Basically:
Do you make a special case of Zionism? Or do you agree with Hobson on Imperialism?

Seeing that the Imperialism of the last three decades is clearly condemned as a business policy, in that at enormous expense it has procured a small, bad, unsafe increase of markets, and has jeopardised the entire wealth of the nation in rousing the strong resentment of other nations, we may ask, “How is the British nation induced to embark upon such unsound business?” The only possible answer is that the business interests of the nation as a whole are subordinated to those of certain sectional interests that usurp control of the national resources and use them for their private gain.

Thanks for your time.

Hello Alan! How are you?
1. As regards the inalienable Right of Return: As I understand it, nobody can sign that away excepy the individual holder of that right (and there are around 5 million of them!!!) - so even if Olmert's dancing bear Mahmoud Abbas does sign that right away, it would be legally null and void - what is your reading of that please?

2. Even a complete Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 "borders" would constitute an illegal land-grab, would it not??
As I understand it, the UN agreed that 46% of the British Palestine Mandate should become Israel in early 1948 but -due to massacres and ethnic cleansing worthy of Stalin and Hitler- it had mysteriously expanded to 78% by Spring 1949, in complete contravention of all agreements. Is this true??

3. As you know Alan, I write poems about this on my website [Advertising] (select POEMS) and there are many new ones and I invite you to have a look, MYSPEAK will also have a stand at the GPU in November. Long live Hamas and Hizbollah!! All the best - Ibraheem (Denmark).

[big al]

I would like to know how the corruption of zionism has such a strong hold on people of now who cannot be called Jews.

[Smiley]

Hi Alan,

Thanks for coming on!

Which mainstream newspapers and news channels, in your opinion, represent the true situation in the Middle East?

What kind of reactions have you received from Israelis in response to your book 'Zionism: The Real Enemy of Jews'?

Thank you!

[dark_knight]

Alan,

you have had a rare insight and one-to-one private conversations with Golda Mier, so it would seem that you are the best person to ask about this question.

There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed – Golda Mier

Why did Golda make this remark?.

It has since, been used by many zionists

The palestinians clearly exists

[dark_knight]

will a two state solution work to stop the conflict?

[Abdullah Ali]

Hello Alan, hope you are, and continue to be in good health.

Would Zionists be afraid to see loyal,united Muslims(with one leader) spread across the world with 1 country acting as the main base?
What would Zionists do to stop this happening?
What are the Zionists allies?
What have America got to do with Zionists?
Are Zionists preparing/ready for a world war?
Where can truth in matters be found?

How much money do the Zionists have?
How do the Zionists make their money?
What is the main aim of the Zionists?

[Alan Hart]

The key to understanding is knowledge of the difference between Judaism and Zionism. Judaism s the religion of Jews. Not all Jews because not all Jews are religious. Like Islam and Christianity, Judaism has at tis cre a set of moral values and ethnical principles. Zionism is a secatarian colonial enterprise which makes acomplete mockey of, and has contrempt for, the moral values and ethnical principles ofnJudaism. Which is why ultra orthodox religious Jews, and some others, say, and I believe they are right, that Zionism is destroying Judaism

Why is it important to know the differenmce between Judaism and Zionism? When you know you can understand (a) why it is perfectly possible to be passionately anti Zionist (opposed to Zionism's colonial enterprise) withoutm beng in any way, shape or form anti- Semtic (ant-Jew); and (b) you can undersatand why it is wrong to blame all Jews everywhere for the crimes, repeat crimes, of the few.

One of the most terrifying things is the alliance between Zionism and rightwing Amercan Christian fundamentalismDeep dwn American Christian fundamentalists are the classic Jew haters. Thet make comon cause with Zionsm because they see Israel as the instrument for bringng about Armageddon, the end of the world as th bible story has it.

How sick can you get?!
