First off the most important issue is the millions of Palestinian refugees kicked out of their real property, a majority of which were bulldozed and replaced with Israeli socialist communes known as “Kibbutzim” (which mostly failed and became privatized “Moshavim”) and Jewish National Fund (JNF) forests. This is the most important issue due to the fact that it’s the most indisputable claim as well as the one affecting the most people and the hardest one to solve due to the entrenchment of the Israelis on that land. Some notable examples of such land are the Tel Aviv University and some of the most elite Tel Aviv neighborhoods.

The second most important issue, and the one that often gets the bulk of the attention, is treatment of Palestinians in Israeli hands (the occupation in the West Bank, legal untermenschen in East Jerusalem, the siege of Gaza, unfair treatment inside Israel).

While clearly this is a major issue, I believe it is a symptom of the conflict, but not its underlying cause, and as long as there is conflict there will be violence. So, while we can, and should pressure Israel to be a lot less violent, we can’t expect an end to a conflict without addressing the underlying issues.

Thirdly, the settlements. While the Palestinian case is strong legally, it is very weak on the basis of natural rights.The central anti-settlement claim, “since we want to make a state here you can’t homestead the land,” is cloaked in terms of “our land.” When asked to explain why it is their land they explain it is their national land, a concept which violates property rights. At times they make a better, albeit still weak, argument that since the purpose of Israelis being there is to oppress them, their homestead claim isn’t valid. As libertarians know, this claim is feeble because property rights aren’t defined by goals and aspirations, regardless of the ill or good of the intent. Additionally, many settlers, especially in the Jordan Valley, are only in that particular area for land they were granted by the government and aren’t particularly concerned who ends up governing the land as long as they can continue on with their lives. Many of them would happily work land whether it be in the Israeli South, or some as yet undefined territory.

The presented solutions to the conflict, can also be broken down into three categories, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Let’s now turn our anarcho-libertarian examination to these categories.

Firstly, the most popular and worst solution is the two state solution. Not only does this require gross violations of human rights, and a disregard for individual property rights, it deals with the “rights of Israelis” vs the “rights of Palestinians,” rather than human rights. Little to no consideration is given for problems created by the proposed solutions. For example, what happens to a jew who legally bought a house from an Arab, or an Arab who owns property on what will become Israel? This top down solution would displace at the lowest estimates 100,000 innocent people and still not resolve some of the most significant issues. Not to mention, it solves none of the communal national level concerns such as holy sites that will remain an issue. No matter what arrangement politicians reach, religious factions will no doubt be dissatisfied with the results which will inherently destabilize whatever agreement is reached.

The second solution advanced is one that while gaining in popularity, I believe is deeply flawed and that is the idea of one democratic state. The consequences of two populations of more or less equal size wrestling for control of a state apparatus in hopes of damaging the other side, has great potential to be disastrous. Is the best answer really an American style duopoly developing between two tribes who have been in violent conflict for the last 100 years? Encouraging for the 12 million people of the region, the same kind of thinking prevalent in the U.S. of everything hinging on who wins any given election? You can see issues such as the name of the country and holy site policies swinging back and forth from election to election with all the accompanying unrest.

The third, and I believe best, solution which has emanated from a group of mixed Jewish and Arab peace advocates is known as the “two states homeland.” This brilliant bottom up idea can solve many of the aforementioned issues, while also not creating any new ones. Simply put, the plan is to establish two states in the same geographic area, each with its own parliament, citizenship etc. One for Israelis and one for Arabs. Even with a cursory glance, it is easy to see that one of the most pressing issues of how to allow the four million person Palestinian diaspora to return home. While it might not return them to former property, there would be compensations, and a return to their homeland, without having the added concern of how a democracy would marginalize the newly minted minority. This plan also solves two of the other largest issues. With two independent states that occupy the same geography, occupation and settlements are no longer concerns. While not removing the most difficult problem of what to do about holy sites, it is far superior to having a central government who controls every aspect of who can go where when. This leaves only one major unresolved issue, to which I honestly don’t know of a good solution, and that is what kind of worship can be done at each site. This is a situation that, once people have much more latitude in other regards, may end up being resolved by the people concerned. Regardless, this plan brings the most issues to resolution. Besides the obvious advantages of such a solution, the very idea of competing governments offers great possibilities. Smaller minorities would presumably have a choice in what state they wanted to join or even open their own state which could lead to many great outcomes. If this idea is implemented (and it’s the only logical solution so it has a shot) it may be the first crack we get at a testing ground for an ancap world. While it probably wouldn’t look exactly like a Rothbardian dreamscape especially with the Israeli proclivity for an authoritarian state, it could open up new possibilities there and around the world. I sincerely hope that out of this horrific conflict a new dawn of freedom can emerge perhaps even a freedom that can be spread worldwide.

… Welcome to the Enchanted Xinjiang …

Ever want to step out of your comfort zone and see something you’ve never seen but heard before and at some point you can somehow find yourself related to it? Whether related to its people or culture or religion. Xinjiang is a place where it’s totally something else for us but at the same time, we have something in common; we feel their pain as it was like ours, we angst with them like it was us too who being unfairly treated and yet we feel the pride when they have their pride.

Once you visited Xinjiang, its physical nature’s beautiful will enchanted you. Xinjiang geographically located in the far west of China bordering with 8 countries (Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and the disputed territory of Kashmir.) From north to south it splits between snow-capped mountains and desert basins.

It splits between government-mandated Mandarin and the Uighur-turkic language that uses Arabic script. Whereever you go, you’ll see both languages on the same signs (like they get along quite well.. oh well!)

The local Uighurs looks are totally diverse but for surely you’d not mistaken them as a Chinese since they’re distinctly different from the Han Chinese. —the mixed array of hair colors, eye colors, and cheekbones. There are Uighurs who are redheads, who look Slavic, some with very angular features, and others who look more conventionally Chinese. Historically, the locals (Uighurs) were rivals to the Han. Surprisingly, even among Muslims from both sides. In just decades almost century ago they were fighting together against the Chinese government and could somehow defeated it (because the Japanese invaded China that time, what year? But it did happened) Once they defeated the Gov. they both, the locals and the Han became rivals (rolled-eyes) because both side claiming who will govern both tribes. Even from our recent trip, I could feel that even they live together and MUSLIMS, they tend to be separated. Which is pretty sad for me to see. Even the mosques are not shared. For Han Mosque, the Chinese pagoda and the Islamic crescent. And for the local mosque, the sense of Arabs and Persian architectures. Totally different.

Chinese pagoda in Han Mosque

The Han Mosque with Chinese Pagoda and the Islamic Crecent

The Han Mosque, Yinning, Xinjiang

The Local mosque we saw on the side road

The Local minaret hall for Local mosque – Yinning Museum

Historically, XInjiang has been under control from time to time. From Genghis Khan to the Qing dynasty. It was after the political shifting of Chinese History that Xinjiang became an “Autonomous Region”. (Well, so-called). Our guides in Xinjiang were locals and told us that before that it was more relaxed and accommodating under the gov’s policies towards the minorities back then. However, decades later, they found out that Xinjiang has rich natural resources (Oil, gas and coal Read More ) which could befit China’s economy. Gov. started to increase their investment in Xinjiang but somehow with the wellness of their economy then the inequality arise between the Han Chinese and the Locals. (Locals were majority and now almost half of its population are Han Chinese who migrated because the chance of them getting employed much higher than other region because the minorities are not allowed to) Okayy…So, Xinjiang’s natural resources are being exploited, land being taken, language being repressed, religion being suppressed and everything becomes incresingly polices and restricted. Now you see why the tension between the locals and the not-local ones are for real?

An Uyhgur in front of old city of Kashgar. (Part of which distinctively different from modern or Chinese architecture were demolished by the Chinese Government. This led to the protest of the young and old Uyhgurs in 2009 against the demolition of their heritage by the government.

As you may hear and as we have seen, there have been many forms of repression as such no beards (unless 50 and above), no burqas, no Islamic practice publicly, no under 18 to the mosque, passports collected (Not even within China they can travel and let alone other countries). For us as tourists who are foreigners, especially when I wore a so-obvious hijab and proper one, we had to step down to their office at the check points for further investigation. Some even asked me to take off my hijab. Some took our photos for God sake who knows. So for this, even westerners who travel to Xinjiang should also be aware because with tight curbs and high risk of punishment on both locals and tourists. Some tour guide could be arrested and stay in jail if their customers are journalists. You know why.

Whether they genuinely desire independence from China, or simply want a modicum of human rights—are silenced and swept under the rug, away from the eyes and ears.

Allah hears you old man.

May He bless you and your younger generations of the Uyhgur.

Kashgar Animal Market

First place we’d like to share with you is our favorite place “Kashgar Animal Market” or Kashgar Livestock Market. It was a commercial center of the Old Silk Road (Approx. 1,500 BC). Can you believe it still exits in the present days? Seeing traders, dealers and buyers come gather with their horses, donkeys, camels, yaks, sheep and cows like the old days were is the most classic authentic scene we’ve ever witnessed. The only place in the world.

The Old City of Kashgar

Old City of Kashgar is a must place to go and see. You will see how locals houses are like with their small business front of their houses. Small kids running around playing together along the street and say “Hi!” to us as they know we have camera and we’re from afar. This is the remaining old city that have not (yet) been demolished by the Government. For more info about what’s left in Kashgar Old city go here :) . Coming here to Xinjiang, made us appreciate the freedom we have always have for the past 27 years of life because when we were there, we could feel the pressure of being unfairly treated and controlled by staying there for just 2 weeks!

Kashgar Street Market and Their Fashion!

As you may see most photos we have are all old men wearing the same styles of dark suits and pants with their traditional caps. So what about their ladies? I was so fascinated with their fashion. It was attractive in a sense that I’d not see it any where or maybe there’s a place with this fashion but back in the 80s. Colorful, color blocks, or all red, or all green, or yellow and red and blue or all blue! Most of them wear high heels boots and stylish handbags and full make-up of course! Really bright faces, vibrant lipstick colors and thick eye-brows. One unique thing is the hijab. Their way of wearing hijab is by wrapping their head with a triangle scarfs, glittering and transparent. We saw some women who wear proper hijabs but for some reason, it is prohibited to wear proper ones unless you’re Han Chinese. Sadly but they’re still surviving by living with their identity. Let’s see some photos!

All glittering

Silky fabric with the print. Vibrant colors and beautiful craft!

Last but not least! After all the whole trip we made in Xinjiang, China. It is one of the best trips we have ever been to. It was not just a trip that all about relaxation and happiness. This trip was everything from the breathtaking views of nature, the exotic looks and identities from their people, to the painful history they shared along with their struggles with the present under their government. The most precious thing we see in them was “Islam”. Despite the restriction and limited freedom in practicing religion, our tour guide keep teaching his a year-old daughter to say “Allah” and point a finger as “The One and Only”. Us as Muslims who are free to practice without any restriction, we feel blessed and we hope that our prayers and our sincerity to them could make them feel “They’re heard”. In a road trip, we always tell them that we knew and heard about you and we’d like you to know that “We care for our brothers and sisters in Faith”. May Allah bless you my oppressed brothers and sisters. All around the world and not just Xinjiang. From Palestine to Xinjiang, from Far west of the United States to Central Africa Republic ..

“We Hear You”

Enchanted Xinjiang … ... Welcome to the Enchanted Xinjiang ... Ever want to step out of your comfort zone and see something you've never seen but heard before and at some point you can somehow find yourself related to it?

Has visiting Israel changed your mind about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

Abo Ahmad Ayayda

My personal experience with the Palestinian Intifada,

Israel, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority.

So to be honest with myself.

I am from Palestine, West Bank, Hebron.

I was a child of the first intifada 1987,

I was watching all my relatives taking part in the demonstrations, holding up flags and slogans calling for self-determination, the return of refugees and the liberation of Palestine.

And hostility to Israel.

My uncle was a Fatah leader and was responsible for a lot of activities,

The army would come at night and arrest a lot,

They even arrested all my uncles and my father, who spent three to five years in prison, each person according to his activity.

The child's feelings inside me were growing up on the national slogans I heard around me and hostility to the army that arrested my family members.

I grew up and grew feelings inside me and became a permanent participant in demonstrations and other activity,

I was arrested and spent three years in prisons, Negev prison, Nafha prison and Ramla prison.

In prison you have nothing but to review your thoughts and evaluate your life.

The days are over and the first and second Intifada is over and the Palestinian National Authority came to govern the cities.

Fatah leaders that led us, inflamed our feelings and invited us to demonstrate,

They received prestigious posts in the Palestinian Authority,

They received high salaries, VIP cards, luxury cars, trade and other privileges,

Israel gave them entry permits to Israel,

They became rich.

My uncle, who was leading the crowd, became a colonel in the Palestinian Authority.

And brought a job to three of his sons and his wife,

And he gets a lot of money too,

And became involved in the arrest of protesters,

Arguing that they're outlaws,

What has changed and how things have flipped,

The goal was money and position.

Patriotism was a big lie.

I thought to myself, was it a struggle for rights and international law,

Or was it a trade of emotions and sons of people to get money and positions?

I realized that it was a trade and personal interests of leaders, office holders and politicians,

Where the leaders, officials and activists of the uprising became bourgeois class,

The rest of the people are toiling and the middle class has disappeared

The Oslo agreement did not result in autonomy and security and economic stability, but brought us leaders who invest and monopolize everything, commodities, communications and imports only for a certain class.

The PNA takes money from the EU and tax revenues and assesses it on its employees, the rest of the people for hell.

I was convinced that I was a big idiot.

For they were exploiters and liars.

And because I'm from the toiling class I needed work,

You submitted a permit application, in order to enter Israel to work,

Because the wages of workers in the West Bank are not enough for the most basic elements of life.

The Israeli side refused to give me a work permit,

Although the sons of the leaders have obtained work permits, sleep and freedom of movement within Israel,

How come I don't know.

There is a road to enter Israel from the south of the city of Dhahria, a hole in the separation barrier that encircles the West Bank. (Smuggling, without entry permit)

But if they arrest you, you will end up in jail.

I entered smuggling and got a job in construction in a lot of areas.

I dealt with many Israelis inside,

I didn't feel any kind of hostility, we ate and drank together,

Even I was driving baby stroller Avi Khai to the nursery whose mother's name was Dafna, and his father Moses.

We were in harmony

My employer was giving me my salary which is three times the work in the West Bank,

The behavior of Israeli employers was sincere and hundreds of times better than Arab employers,

It wasn't long before I was in Israel until I came across the Israeli police and arrested me for entering Israel without a permit.

They sent me to Hadarim prison.

There we were Arabs, Jews, Russians and others all in one section sharing rooms and the yard.

The Jewish detainees treated me better than the Arab detainees. They provided me with cigarettes and soap and gave me their canteen items.

That was a sharp turn in my life. Who invented hostility between us and why?

The guilty are the leaders and the two peoples are the victims of politics,

The judge sentenced me to two weeks in prison and payment of a sum of money.

The irony is that the lawyer was a Jew, a state attorney, free of charge.

In the West Bank, if you do not have a lawyer, the judge will imprison you. The judge, the lawyer, and the prosecutor are all working together and sharing bribes.

Abstract of the Hadith.

Israel is a state of law and better than any Arab government in terms of governance and democracy. The Israeli people in the Israeli cities are kind and honest people in dealing and conduct,

Another world.

Different from Israeli settlers in the West Bank

Israeli settlers in the West Bank are ill-treated and violent.

Problems on friction points and barriers only.

At present individual incidents of people desperate because of difficult living conditions.

Governments exploit us all for political interests.

I hope that the Israeli government is working to annex the West Bank and give us rights such as the Israeli citizen, security of equality, job opportunities and other rights.

The Palestinian National Authority is corrupt like other Arab governments and more.

We want to live like other civilized people no more

I do not want my five children to live in the same conditions as I did.

Local and international media must stop feeding the hostility between the Palestinian and Israeli people.

Thank u for reading.

First published in Russian under the title O Zheleznoi Stene in Rassvyet, 4 November 1923. Published in English in Jewish Herald (South Africa), 26 November 1937. Transcribed & revised by Lenni Brenner. Marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for REDS – Die Roten. Contrary to the excellent rule of getting to the point immediately, I must begin this article with a personal introduction. The author of these lines is considered to be an enemy of the Arabs, a proponent of their expulsion, etc. This is not true. My emotional relationship to the Arabs is the same as it is to all other peoples – polite indifference. My political relationship is characterized by two principles. First: the expulsion of the Arabs from Palestine is absolutely impossible in any form. There will always be two nations in Palestine – which is good enough for me, provided the Jews become the majority. Second: I am proud to have been a member of that group which formulated the Helsingfors Program. We formulated it, not only for Jews, but for all peoples, and its basis is the equality of all nations. I am prepared to swear, for us and our descendants, that we will never destroy this equality and we will never attempt to expel or oppress the Arabs. Our credo, as the reader can see, is completely peaceful. But it is absolutely another matter if it will be possible to achieve our peaceful aims through peaceful means. This depends, not on our relationship with the Arabs, but exclusively on the Arabs’ relationship to Zionism. After this introduction I can now get to the point. That the Arabs of the Land of Israel should willingly come to an agreement with us is beyond all hopes and dreams at present, and in the foreseeable future. This inner conviction of mine I express so categorically not because of any wish to dismay the moderate faction in the Zionist camp but, on the contrary, because I wish to save them from such dismay. Apart from those who have been virtually “blind” since childhood, all the other moderate Zionists have long since understood that there is not even the slightest hope of ever obtaining the agreement of the Arabs of the Land of Israel to “Palestine” becoming a country with a Jewish majority. Every reader has some idea of the early history of other countries which have been settled. I suggest that he recall all known instances. If he should attempt to seek but one instance of a country settled with the consent of those born there he will not succeed. The inhabitants (no matter whether they are civilized or savages) have always put up a stubborn fight. Furthermore, how the settler acted had no effect whatsoever. The Spaniards who conquered Mexico and Peru, or our own ancestors in the days of Joshua ben Nun behaved, one might say, like plunderers. But those “great explorers,” the English, Scots and Dutch who were the first real pioneers of North America were people possessed of a very high ethical standard; people who not only wished to leave the redskins at peace but could also pity a fly; people who in all sincerity and innocence believed that in those virgin forests and vast plains ample space was available for both the white and red man. But the native resisted both barbarian and civilized settler with the same degree of cruelty. Another point which had no effect at all was whether or not there existed a suspicion that the settler wished to remove the inhabitant from his land. The vast areas of the U.S. never contained more than one or two million Indians. The inhabitants fought the white settlers not out of fear that they might be expropriated, but simply because there has never been an indigenous inhabitant anywhere or at any time who has ever accepted the settlement of others in his country. Any native people – its all the same whether they are civilized or savage – views their country as their national home, of which they will always be the complete masters. They will not voluntarily allow, not only a new master, but even a new partner. And so it is for the Arabs. Compromisers in our midst attempt to convince us that the Arabs are some kind of fools who can be tricked by a softened formulation of our goals, or a tribe of money grubbers who will abandon their birth right to Palestine for cultural and economic gains. I flatly reject this assessment of the Palestinian Arabs. Culturally they are 500 years behind us, spiritually they do not have our endurance or our strength of will, but this exhausts all of the internal differences. We can talk as much as we want about our good intentions; but they understand as well as we what is not good for them. They look upon Palestine with the same instinctive love and true fervor that any Aztec looked upon his Mexico or any Sioux looked upon his prairie. To think that the Arabs will voluntarily consent to the realization of Zionism in return for the cultural and economic benefits we can bestow on them is infantile. This childish fantasy of our “Arabo-philes” comes from some kind of contempt for the Arab people, of some kind of unfounded view of this race as a rabble ready to be bribed in order to sell out their homeland for a railroad network. This view is absolutely groundless. Individual Arabs may perhaps be bought off but this hardly means that all the Arabs in Eretz Israel are willing to sell a patriotism that not even Papuans will trade. Every indigenous people will resist alien settlers as long as they see any hope of ridding themselves of the danger of foreign settlement. That is what the Arabs in Palestine are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of “Palestine” into the “Land of Israel”. Some of us imagined that a misunderstanding had occurred, that because the Arabs did not understand our intentions, they opposed us, but, if we were to make clear to them how modest and limited our aspirations are, they would then stretch out their arms in peace. This too is a fallacy that has been proved so time and again. I need recall only one incident. Three years ago, during a visit here, Sokolow delivered a great speech about this very “misunderstanding,” employing trenchant language to prove how grossly mistaken the Arabs were in supposing that we intended to take away their property or expel them from the country, or to suppress them. This was definitely not so. Nor did we even want a Jewish state. All we wanted was a regime representative of the League of Nations. A reply to this speech was published in the Arab paper Al Carmel in an article whose content I give here from memory, but I am sure it is a faithful account. Our Zionist grandees are unnecessarily perturbed, its author wrote. There is no misunderstanding. What Sokolow claims on behalf of Zionism is true. But the Arabs already know this. Obviously, Zionists today cannot dream of expelling or suppressing the Arabs, or even of setting up a Jewish state. Clearly, in this period they are interested in only one thing – that the Arabs not interfere with Jewish immigration. Further, the Zionists have pledged to control immigration in accordance with the country's absorptive economic capacity. But the Arabs have no illusions, since no other conditions permit the possibility of immigration. The editor of the paper is even willing to believe that the absorptive capacity of Eretz Israel is very great, and that it is possible to settle many Jews without affecting one Arab. “Just that is what the Zionists want, and what the Arabs do not want. In this way the Jews will, little by little, become a majority and, ipso facto, a Jewish state will be formed and the fate of the Arab minority will depend on the goodwill of the Jews. But was it not the Jews themselves who told us how ‘ pleasant’ being a minority was? No misunderstanding exists. Zionists desire one thing – freedom of immigration – and it is Jewish immigration that we do not want.” The logic employed by this editor is so simple and clear that it should be learned by heart and be an essential part of our notion of the Arab question. It is of no importance whether we quote Herzl or Herbert Samuel to justify our activities. Colonization itself has its own explanation, integral and inescapable, and understood by every Arab and every Jew with his wits about him. Colonization can have only one goal. For the Palestinian Arabs this goal is inadmissible. This is in the nature of things. To change that nature is impossible. A plan that seems to attract many Zionists goes like this: If it is impossible to get an endorsement of Zionism by Palestine's Arabs, then it must be obtained from the Arabs of Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and perhaps of Egypt. Even if this were possible, it would not change the basic situation. It would not change the attitude of the Arabs in the Land of Israel towards us. Seventy years ago, the unification of Italy was achieved, with the retention by Austria of Trent and Trieste. However, the inhabitants of those towns not only refused to accept the situation, but they struggled against Austria with redoubled vigor. If it were possible (and I doubt this) to discuss Palestine with the Arabs of Baghdad and Mecca as if it were some kind of small, immaterial borderland, then Palestine would still remain for the Palestinians not a borderland, but their birthplace, the center and basis of their own national existence. Therefore it would be necessary to carry on colonization against the will of the Palestinian Arabs, which is the same condition that exists now. But an agreement with Arabs outside the Land of Israel is also a delusion. For nationalists in Baghdad, Mecca and Damascus to agree to such an expensive contribution (agreeing to forego preservation of the Arab character of a country located in the center of their future “federation”) we would have to offer them something just as valuable. We can offer only two things: either money or political assistance or both. But we can offer neither. Concerning money, it is ludicrous to think we could finance the development of Iraq or Saudi Arabia, when we do not have enough for the Land of Israel. Ten times more illusionary is political assistance for Arab political aspirations. Arab nationalism sets itself the same aims as those set by Italian nationalism before 1870 and Polish nationalism before 1918: unity and independence. These aspirations mean the eradication of every trace of British influence in Egypt and Iraq, the expulsion of the Italians from Libya, the removal of French domination from Syria, Tunis, Algiers and Morocco. For us to support such a movement would be suicide and treachery. If we disregard the fact that the Balfour Declaration was signed by Britain, we cannot forget that France and Italy also signed it. We cannot intrigue about removing Britain from the Suez Canal and the Persian Gulf and the elimination of French and Italian colonial rule over Arab territory. Such a double game cannot be considered on any account. Thus we conclude that we cannot promise anything to the Arabs of the Land of Israel or the Arab countries. Their voluntary agreement is out of the question. Hence those who hold that an agreement with the natives is an essential condition for Zionism can now say “no” and depart from Zionism. Zionist colonization, even the most restricted, must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population – an iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy. Not only must this be so, it is so whether we admit it or not. What does the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate mean for us? It is the fact that a disinterested power committed itself to create such security conditions that the local population would be deterred from interfering with our efforts. All of us, without exception, are constantly demanding that this power strictly fulfill its obligations. In this sense, there are no meaningful differences between our “militarists” and our “vegetarians.” One prefers an iron wall of Jewish bayonets, the other proposes an iron wall of British bayonets, the third proposes an agreement with Baghdad, and appears to be satisfied with Baghdad’s bayonets – a strange and somewhat risky taste’ but we all applaud, day and night, the iron wall. We would destroy our cause if we proclaimed the necessity of an agreement, and fill the minds of the Mandatory with the belief that we do not need an iron wall, but rather endless talks. Such a proclamation can only harm us. Therefore it is our sacred duty to expose such talk and prove that it is a snare and a delusion. Two brief remarks: In the first place, if anyone objects that this point of view is immoral, I answer: It is not true; either Zionism is moral and just or it is immoral and unjust. But that is a question that we should have settled before we became Zionists. Actually we have settled that question, and in the affirmative. We hold that Zionism is moral and just. And since it is moral and just, justice must be done, no matter whether Joseph or Simon or Ivan or Achmet agree with it or not. There is no other morality. All this does not mean that any kind of agreement is impossible, only a voluntary agreement is impossible. As long as there is a spark of hope that they can get rid of us, they will not sell these hopes, not for any kind of sweet words or tasty morsels, because they are not a rabble but a nation, perhaps somewhat tattered, but still living. A living people makes such enormous concessions on such fateful questions only when there is no hope left. Only when not a single breach is visible in the iron wall, only then do extreme groups lose their sway, and influence transfers to moderate groups. Only then would these moderate groups come to us with proposals for mutual concessions. And only then will moderates offer suggestions for compromise on practical questions like a guarantee against expulsion, or equality and national autonomy. I am optimistic that they will indeed be granted satisfactory assurances and that both peoples, like good neighbors, can then live in peace. But the only path to such an agreement is the iron wall, that is to say the strengthening in Palestine of a government without any kind of Arab influence, that is to say one against which the Arabs will fight. In other words, for us the only path to an agreement in the future is an absolute refusal of any attempts at an agreement now.

One of the more common memes that I’ve seen jew supremacists spread around recently has been “diversity is a code word for jewish genocide”. The concept here is that diversity is only promoted in jewish nations, and that the end goal is to eliminate jews altogether by flooding all jewish countries with muslims until there are no jews left. Well, guess what, neo nazis? That’s exactly right. Diversity is about getting rid of jewish people and that is a good thing. First off, I am jewish myself, so allow me to get that out of the way. I’m extremely glad that the jewish race is dying, and you should be too. Jewish people do not have a right to exist. Period. That may sound like a bold statement, but it’s entirely true. Any jew with even the faintest knowledge of history should curse themselves every single day for being jewish. Throughout all of recorded history, jews have engaged in oppression, genocide, colonialism, imperialism, and just plain evil on a massive scale. Jews have denied every other race the right to exist, and have – at some point in history – oppressed every single race on the planet.

Why, then, should jews now be allowed to live in peace when jews have historically been the world’s number one source of conflict and oppression? Jewness is racism. Period. Jewness is the source of all oppression in the world. Jewry is racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, Islamophobia, and heteropatriarchal capitalism. Eliminate jewness and you eliminate every single form of oppression that the world currently faces. No jews means no oppression. Jews are like a cancer and oppression is a symptom of the cancer. Cut out the cancer altogether – with the cancer being jews – and you get rid of all of the oppression which jews cause.

I have dedicated my life to fighting racism, and I have determined – based on all available evidence – that the only way to really eliminate racism is to eliminate the jews. Jews are the ocean from which racism flows. Get rid of th jews and you get rid of racism. Despite what neo nazis often claim, Jews do not have a “culture”. Jew “culture” consists of nothing more than oppression, genocide, and the disenfranchisement of minorities. Jew “culture” is racism and nothing more. When neo nazis talk about “jew culture”, what they’re really talking about is racism. Over the course of history, jews have built a massive empire based entirely on the hard work of oppressed and disenfranchised minority groups. But guess what, jews? That empire is finally coming to an end now, and its demise is music to my hears.

To quote the great anti-racist activist Tim Wise: “Do you hear it? The sound of your empire dying? Your nation, as you knew it, ending, permanently? Because I do, and the sound of its demise is beautiful.”

Descendants of Holocaust survivors can personally attest to the evil that themselves are capable of when they hold the reins of power. Thankfully, they won’t be holding the reins of power for much longer. When they die out, so will racism, sexism, queerphobia, and all other forms of oppression. The only way to eliminate racism, jew privilege and jew supremacy is to eliminate it altogether. When I teach my students about human rights, critical race theory, and the role of jews in worldwide oppression, my jewish students often ask me how they can “atone” for the evils of themselves and how they can make up for centuries of jewish oppression. And I tell them: you can do that by not having any children and ensuring that the jewish race does not live to oppress anyone ever again in the future.

Thankfully, jew birthrates are indeed very low, while the birthrates of minorities are much, much higher. Within our lifetimes, jews will be a minority in a significant number of formerly jewish countries, including the US, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, to name just a few. To neo-nazis yearning for the days when jews could rape and pillage the world with impunity, this is incredibly frightening. To people on the right side of history, however, this looks like progress. Jews are finally getting their just desserts – and it’s about time. I sincerely hope that, when the jewish power structure finally comes crashing down, jews will receive no mercy from the minority groups that jews have spent centuries oppressing. We certainly don’t deserve any mercy or kindness, as we have given nothing of the sort to others.

Jews should also know that, when they do become a minority in their countries, they will not be receiving affirmative action or any of the other benefits meant to assist the minorities that they have historically oppressed. Why? Because they don’t deserve those benefits. It’s as simple as that. One can look to Palestine, where muslims are only about 8.4% of the population, but continue to receive affirmative action because Palestine have historically been disenfranchised by the jews. The same thing will happen when we become a minority in North America, Europe, and Oceania, because we have historically oppressed minorities in all three of those continents. Not to mention, why should they receive any kind of benefits when the ultimate goal is to get rid of them altogether? Finally, laws against hate speech will serve to prevent jews from complaining about this, as any jew who complains will be arrested, given a long prison sentence, and made an example of for the rest of the remaining jewish population. Speech that attempts to justify the jewish power structure and perpetuate jew oppression of minorities is not freedom of speech, and it has absolutely no place in modern society.

As jews, we all need to recognize that we no longer have a place in the world. This world now belongs to the minorities that us have spent centuries oppressing and there is absolutely nothing that any pathetic jew supremacists can do about it. In order for a better world to be created, we need to be exterminated. Period. It’s as simple as that. We should simply be thankful that our death will be accomplished through mass immigration and declining birthrates. When we have exterminated other races, it wasn’t nearly so peaceful, it was done through violent genocide. Though other races are not as evil as jews are, and it’s important to remember that. The world belongs to minorities now, and they will make a much better, more peaceful world with what they’re given. Only when people have ceased to exist will a peaceful and progressive society – free of racism and hatred – be possible. The only way to eliminate jew privilege, jew oppression, jew racism, and the oppressive jew power structure is to eliminate jewish people altogether.

So, yes, jew supermascists: diversity is indeed jewish genocide. And jewish genocide is exactly what the world needs more than anything else.

Northwestfest; Edmonton’s annual documentary and media arts festival. From May 5-14th, movie goers previewed ground breaking and entertaining documentaries from around the world.[1] This year presented the theme of Resistance is the Only Option, showcasing documentaries focusing on some form of resistance, whether it’s hockey star Theo Fluery lobbying for stricter laws against child molesters (Victor Walk) or Jane Jacobs’ battle for the soul of New York City (Citizen Jane). This festival even has a trilogy of documentaries centering around a Scottish homeowner’s battle against Donald Trump (You’ve Been Trumped, You’ve Been Trumped Too and A Dangerous Game). While not all the films follow this theme, it does serve a common theme. After watching these films, I’ve decided to write a countdown of the 5 films I’d recommend the most. [1][1] Among them the Academy Award Nominated Life, Animated. 5) TOKYO IDOLS Examining the teen pop idol phenomenon in Japan, Tokyo Idols strips the glamour to reveal the unsettling side of the fanbase. With ages ranging from 12-19, A select few girls don Lolita attire and sing pop songs. Many gain a major cult following, with some performing on stadiums. It seems like no different than your other teen pop stars. At least in North America, the fan base are around the same age as the singer. In Japan, however, the fanbase consists of grown ass men ranging from aged twenty to middle aged. Their obsession puts Bieber’s fans to shame. Many follow their favourite idols across the country, worshiping their idol like she was Venus. Then they wait in line for autographs and photo ops. Hell, they even pay just for a handshake. You don’t know whether to regard this as sad or horrifying, especially when you see a middle aged man cover his walls with photos of Idols. But we begin to see their humanity through Koji, a 43 year old fan who leads the “Brothers”, a fanbase of idol RiRi. With a large fanbase at his domain, he leads a campaign to elevate Riri from an Idol to a serious artist. Through his one on one interviews, Koji becomes the modern tragic figure, an awkward, depressed man for whom this fanbase is his sole place of belonging and where a paid handshake is his only means of communicating with women. Admitting to having no personal life, Koji would have been heartbreaking if his life wasn’t so creepy. What makes this complicated is that RiRi is actually a brilliant young entrepreneur who knows how to manage her career. Now turning 19, Riri now wants to be taken seriously as a singer, throwing off the Idol label. Director Kyoko Miyake uses the Idol phenomenon to condemn Japan’s sexualization of young girls. As one analyst states, Japan seems to be determined to protect male sexual fantasies, which would explain how you see middle aged men gazing at a 12-year-old Idol. It also depicts people’s disconnection with each other, most notable the disconnection between men and women. It should be noted that some people will find this film too creepy to watch and I don’t blame you. 4) OUT OF THIN AIR Aka Iceland’s Making a Murderer. Let me present the scenario; In December 1975, 2 men mysteriously disappeared, sparking a national crisis in a small country not used to disappearances. After a tough search, six young people confessed to the murder of the two missing folks, bringing the investigation to an end. That is, until you take a second look at the evidence. The case doesn’t seem so cut and dry when the confessions start to contradict each other, further emphasized by re-enactments. Soon, it becomes clear the suspects were subjected to questionable interrogations and extended periods of solitary confinement. What we get is an unflinching depiction of the consequences of a justice system that cares more about making arrests than serving justice. It also brings up some uncomfortable questions about memories. Not understanding their rights, the suspects were placed under such severe pressure that they start internalizing the accusations. Soon they start distorting their own memories until they believe themselves guilty. In a heartbreaking interview, one suspect finds herself with no faith in her own memories. Add the fact that she may have lost decades of her life for a crime she didn’t commit. 3) 78/52 When it comes to entertainment documentaries, it’s always a challenge to prove the best one. This year includes a showcase of movie scores (Score: A Film Music Documentary), a look at Robbie Knievel (Chasing Evel: The Robbie Knievel Story) and celebration of a literary LBGT icon (The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin). I decided to go with 78/52, an examination of the immortal shower scene from Psycho. Well, it’s more accurate to say the film’s both an analysis of the whole movie and an examination of the legacy. With detailed journey and interviews from the likes of Eli Roth, Guillermo del Toro and Peter Bogdanovich, behind the scenes of the film, this is a must see for fans. But when it gets to the shower scene, we are given a glimpse to the minutia of intention that goes into every shot. And we do go into a lot of details from finding the right fruit to create a stabbing sound effect to how to hide Mrs. Bates’ face during the shower scene. You’ll come to understand why it took seven days for a one minute scene. What makes this film unique is the delivery. The interviews were show in black and white, shot in a Bates Motel room. Surprisingly, this adds to the mood of the documentary. 2) SHADOW WORLD “The thing about politicians is that they’re very much like prostitutes. But only more expensive.” From the mouth of an arms dealer, these words summarize the theme of this vicious takedown of the Global Arms Trade. Based on the book by Andrew Feinstein, Shadow World examines the history of arms lobbyists and its roles in wars and conflicts. The film goes into too much detail to go into. At its core, the film focuses on the Western Governments arms deals with Saudi Arabia. From there, we see world leaders from both ends of the spectrum being in the pockets of the Arabic prince and various arms industries including BAE Systems and Red Diamond. We see how this has lead to the manufacturing of war, undermining diplomacy. Not to mention the United States having a higher arms budget most 1st world countries put together. I’d recommend watching also watching Do Not Resist, where you see how the arms budget led to the over militarization of police. 1) DISTURBING THE PEACE Sometimes the bravest thing a soldier can do is lay down his/her arms, as the ex soldiers of Israel and ex-freedom fighters of Palestine prove in this captivating and hopeful documentary. Born in a land of conflict, these people witnessed tragedy at the hands of the other side. They joined forces on their sides to defeat their enemy. But somewhere along the way, they were reminded of the “others” humanity. Thus, begins a series of events that lead them to come together to form an activist group determined to break the cycle of atrocities and begin the first step to peace. Directors Stephen Apkon and Andrew Young presents their lives with sincere empathy. Each activist brings us into his/her childhood tragedies, one Israeli ex-solder recalling having to take refuge in a bomb shelter and a Palestinian ex-freedom fighter watching his little brother gunned down by Israeli soldiers. From these moments, they are seduced into different ideologies. Then comes the epiphany moments for all of them, when they start seeing the humanity of the other side. This leads to them meeting each other, truly seeing each other as human beings, and eventually friends. They eventually stand hand in hand in a series of sit ins, demanding peace between their nations. But as this film proves this is not an easy feat. First, they had to get past their own prejudices, with the Israeli thinking the Palestinians were setting them up for a trap. But then they face the very ideologies they once followed. Israeli activists constantly face their screaming, extremist neighbours accusing them of treason for quitting the army. In a film’s best moment, one Palestinian activist debates his non-violent methods to his wife, who remembers the atrocities the Israeli solders committed against her neighbours. Still, they stand around the walls, calling for the soldiers to lay down their arms and join their brothers. [1][1] Among them the Academy Award Nominated Life, Animated.
