"The horrors grew from small beginnings.The belief in a Jewish homeland which began well over a hundred years ago following the progroms in Tsarist Russiahas now developed into state violence.

When the zionists came to Palestine they emphasised their separateness .They took over arab land,often evicting the occupiers.

The zionists organised their own trade union [the Histradut[.They organised their own markets and shops.They desttoyed arab produce.No arab was allowed into the Kibbutz movement.The majority of Jewish owned land belonged to the Jewish National Fund whose constitution forbade arab tenants.By 1946 Tel Aviv with a population of 300000 had no arab residents.

Zionism ,however was beginning to inflict more and more outrages on the Palestinian people.The state of Israel,declared in 1948, was accomplished by a terror campaign that drove out many of the indiginous Palestinians----they have never been allowed to return.

The Israelis search for allies has meant it has become close to some of the worst regimes in the world including the apartheid state in South Africa and the Death Squad states of central and south Ameica.
It even trained the SAVAK secret police in the Shah's Iran.

In 1935 the Zionist practiced discrimination....but today that crack has widened .The crack of Jewish sperateness has lead to the horror of the Lebanon and the monstrosities of Zionism.

The arab working class is the only power that can stop Zionism and smash imperialism .The existing states can't do it."
