Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, Vol. 1: The False Messiah

Zionism: the Real Enemy of the Jews #1

by Alan Hart

The False Messiah is Volume I of a monumental history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, The Real Enemy of the Jews, by a seasoned reporter with a vast first-hand knowledge of the Middle East. It is the first book to put the struggle for Palestine into its global context-to show how all the pieces of a complicated jigsaw puzzle fit together. It's also the first ever account of events to address the motives, needs, and dilemmas faced by all diaspora Jews' real fear of Holocaust II; the Palestinian right to justice and self-determination; the legitimate anger of the Arab masses at American support for Zionism right or wrong; and the inevitable corruption and repression of the regimes of the existing Arab Order who, fearing harsher Israeli assaults, have tried to contain them. From the beginning, the conflict pitted a well-financed First World nation of European colonialists who held the upper hand in terms of military hardware, air power and capability against an essentially feudal Third World Arab nation. The False Messiah sheds new light A. The early Zionist relations with UK, German and US governments. A. Zionism's contribution to bringing the US into World War I. A. Zionism's role (and that of domestic non-Zionist Jews) in the diversion of Jewish refugees, first from Russia, then from Germany, to Palestine rather than to the US, UK or elsewhere, sabotaging, inter alia, Truman's efforts to provide visas to the US for 100,000 Jewish immigrants. A.A. Truman's belabored decision-making processes leading to his recognition of the State of Israel, against the advice of 3 US Secretaries of State and his Secretary of Defense who all asserted the US' best interest was alignment with the Arab world. A. The expansion of the Israeli state beyond its UN-recognized borders immediately upon its creation, and how it was made possible by Israel's military superiority even from its pre-creation. At no point throughout its history, Hart contends, has Israel ever faced an "existential threata to its existence. As a former BBC Panorama and ITN Middle East correspondent, Alan Hart knew and interviewed most of the main players in the Israel-Palestine conflict (Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Shimon Peres, Yasser Arafat and other PLO leaders, George Habash, Nasser, King Hussein of Jordan, King Feisal of Saudi Arabia, and many others). He also exhibits a wealth of research into a full spectrum of viewpoints.

Alan Hart, Zionism: the Real Enemy of the Jews
The book is about the endeavours of the Zionists to establish Israel on Palestinian territory which began in the early part of the 20th Century. The first Zionist success came with the Balfour declaration in 1917 when Great Britain promised to give them what really wasn’t British to give or, historically, Jewish to take. Alan Hart gives a brief résumé of Jewish history proving that, genetically, 20th Century Jews have as much right to Palestine as the Romans to Britain.
Hart’s overview of Zionist Lobbies at work, their chief tactic being to put unceasing pressure on UK and especially US politicians, is thorough. The most alarming facet is the ease with which US politicians could and still can be cajoled into supporting the Zionist cause: it’s a question of money. The Zionists fund the election campaigns. Once elected, the new politicians have to do the Zionists’ bidding. Palestinian views were, and remain, unheard.
Following WW2 the Zionists were armed with what Hart calls ‘the Holocaust card’ – a card which beat all others and affords them, to this day, cart blanche in their dealings with the Palestinians and other Arabs (viz. Iran, currently).
In spite of his thorough research, Hart somehow misses a fundamental bit of history: Chaim Weizmann’s pre-war declaration in Poland that Palestine is “no solution for the Jewish problem in Europe....we want only the best of Jewish youth to come to us. We want only people of education to enter Palestine for the purpose of increasing its culture. The other Jews will have to stay where they are and face whatever fate awaits them. These millions of Jews are dust on the wheels of history and have to be blown away. We don’t want them pouring into Palestine. We don’t want our Tel Aviv to become another low grade ghetto”. Ominous, to put it mildly! (This Weizmann declaration also appeared in the New Judea magazine in its 1937 Fall issue).
Unfortunately, while Hart misses out on this real statement, he has a tendency to put thoughts into his principal characters' heads and hypothesises on their conversations, (he must have thought so and so, or the conversation might have gone like this...) then gives these in quotes! This may be a stratagem to make the book more readable but such luxuries should only be used in novels, not in non-fictional works. In spite of this the book is excellent, packed with information and well worth a read.

This book is a must read for anyone interested in the true history of Israel/Palestine.

There are 3 books in the series, which cover much of the history in depth, delving into the political background of decisions made, particularly regarding Israel and the US but also including Britain, and France.

It also gives a startling insight into how the Zionist lobby has, in all practical terms, determined the Middle East policy of the US. The details presented, give a very disturbing picture of how Zionists have hijacked the US government for their own purposes, and the difficulties of all successive Presidents to withstand the pressure of AIPAC (the Zionist lobby).

It explains how this pressure has been allowed to persist by the flawed electoral system of the US.

It shows how Jews in Israel and around the world have been duped by the Israeli propaganda machine, and by the Israeli government's blatant lies to their people and the world.

All Jewish people should definitely read this book to see if they agree with the author's allegation that Zionism is bad for the US, bad for Israel, and bad for Jews around the world, probably causing a rise in antisemitism which nobody wants to see.

The author is very knowledgeable on this topic, and was friends with Golda Meir and Yasser Arafat.

One of the overriding themes of the book is that Israel was never, at any time, seriously threatened with annhilation by Arab states. They were, as Israel knew full well, totally ill equipped to even consider invasion except the disastrous attempt at the very beginning of Israel's existence.

Israel has always presented itself to the world has the 'little man' under existential threat from Arab States. This is a lie, and is shown clearly in the book.

I cannot praise this book enough.

What one arrives at from reading this book is that the book The Israel Lobby, although attacked by both the Zionist power players, the media in general and such leftist magazines as the Nation (by basically attempting to dimiss the notion that there is a lobby and thereby stanch any further inquiry about how the present situation came about), is that the history of the fulfillment of the Zionist quest to take over Palestine was all about lobbying and power politics at each stage of the campaign to bring about a Jewish state. Every bump in the road was overcome with hardnosed threats and coercion of those in power joined with pure propaganda, mythmaking and dumb luck. So the "Israel Lobby" was deficient by not or barely calling attention to the unbroken chain of deviousness, betrayals and dirty politics from the very beginning of Zionism to the present day. Any attempt to adhere to some minimal level of morality by any decision maker involved in this road to catastrophe in attempting to prevent the Balfour declaration for the intended dispossession of Palestinians, avoid gross unfairness to the Palestinians at any stage, seek a refugee solution for the Holocaust survivors or find a solution for the Palestinian refugee solution (to be described in Volume II), has been undermined by the power of the lobby. In some cases maybe to add some "frisson" to the narrative, the author speculates on what might have gone on behind closed doors to help understand what happened. Maybe not necessary, maybe helpful, but possibly a detriment to how serious the book should be taken. On to Vol II: "David Becomes Goliath".

Another nut case talking to the long fanged Jews that populate his mind.

[Marsilla Dewi-Baruch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent regurgitation of lies, fraud, scheme and all sort of evil deeds Israel has done on her victims. Anyone who wants to study the plight of Palestinians and the uprisings that led to the birth of Hamas, this book should be on your lap. Every sane man will do the exact thing what Palestinians have been doing to muster war on Israel.

Zionism has no place on this earth, especially after their repeated sad excuses that holocaust has sapped the Jews of survival and put them at the risk of being deleted. But what we’ve seen is Israel has copied every atrocities they so-called “cruel subjugation of anti-semitism” and planted the strategy on palestinians. Millions of Palestinians were killed, massacred, dispossessed and expelled. Gaza is now the biggest concentration camp on earth, exponentially larger than all camps the Jews were stuffed combined altogether. So, have the Israelis been putting the money where their mouth is?

I dont think so..

This was a real doozy. A lot of things I knew from prior books I’ve read in the subject, but the thing that surprised me most was when the author confirmed that the US and other western nations had wanted to take in Jewish refugees, but the Zionist movement would have none of it. They demanded to live in Palestinian land.

Diabolical division-sowing narcissist bunk.
A writer who says he wants peace, but is against the Camp David peace of 1978 between Israel + Egypt that ended the regular invasion wars! Go figure. He says a separate peace with Egypt put both sides further away from reaching an overall peace among them all. That is an extremist argument of the best as enemy of the good. It implies wanting there to continue to be wars threatening Israel with wipeout as there were for the 30 years before Camp David - yet his thesis also is that wipeout danger to Israel has always been a myth! Denies a danger in the face of the evidence of several wars, at the same time as taking an anti-peace position that would have kept that danger there. A sinister + not very convincing combination from a writer also opposed to Israel's existence.
I'm totally against the gagging trick of calling it anti-Semitic to criticise Israel, outraged by the present siege conditions in Gaza, + believe that equality for the 2 peoples is the only anti-racist position possible. But it helps to show what is or is not anti-Semitic, + that rational opposition to human rights breaches + harsh military actions is not anti-Semitic - to strongly say that this book + Hart's thesis is anti-Semitic. To be against a peace that ended a threat, combined sneakily with irrationally denying the threat, combined sneakily with agreeing with the threat's objective - that combination is anti-peace, dangerously divisive, and when done including a thesis against the Jews being a nation at all, is anti-Semitic.
He believes in,+ presents as an intended revelation to readers, the anti-Jewish theory that the modern Jews are not descended from the Biblically ancient ones, but from Khazars + a Central Asian state's conversion to the Jewish religion in post-Roman times. I have some genetically traced ancestry myself contrary to that theory, + from the ancient population. I had hoped that the progress in gene genealogy and the continuously tracked descent of the Levites had put an end to that muck, yet this book was as recently as 2009.
He is a former TV journalist who had reported from the Middle East in the period of Golda Meir, and in the book's introduction paints a name-dropping picture of a revelatory friendship with her through the period. His expose of how cynically Kissinger handled the Yom Kippur War is probably right, + worth knowing about a war that was a nuclear danger point. But he clearly uses this as a lead-in to get you to trust his judgment. But that type of superiority relationship to readers is irritating + offputting, + all the stronger reason to invest no further time in the book after you have pieced together how bad his agenda is.

[Isidore · Rating 3 out of 5]

Where Hart cites actual documents and describes verifiable events, he can be informative and persuasive. Unfortunately, he often invents thoughts and even conversations on behalf of long-dead public figures, thereby lapsing into historical fiction. His giddy, chatty prose, and an almost adolescent cheerleading for his favourites (e.g. Woodrow Wilson: "a chief most worthy of being hailed") underline that he is an enthusiastic amateur, not a disciplined scholar. Interesting, but to be used with caution, and checked against his sources (where there are any).

[Yousef · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. I loved his clear and factually backed analysis.
He gives a very good and real perspective of history. He touches on the Zionist destructive mentality, Arab failure to support Palestinians,Arab naivety and the death of democracy in america.
great book to read.
