Israel's Longstanding Middle East Plan
http://www.rense.com/general92/dsid.htm
By Stephen Lendman

In 1982, Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs senior advisor Oded Yinon
published a revealing document for regional conquest and dominance.
Still relevant today, it's titled "A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s,
translated, edited, and retitled "The Zionist Plan for the Middle
East" by distinguished Professor Israel Shahak (1933 - 2001), longtime
activist, analyst, and outspoken Israeli critic.
Its publisher, the Association of Arab-American University Graduates
called it "the most explicit, detailed and unambiguous statement to
date of the Zionist strategy in the Middle East....Its
importance....lies not in its historical value but in the nightmare
which it represents," what thereafter continued to unfold.
Its two essential premises include:
-- to survive, Israel must dominate the region and become a world power, and
-- succeeding requires dividing Arab nations into small states -
Balkanizing them along ethnic and sectarian lines as Israeli
satellites, controllable satraps, the idea modeled after the Ottoman
Empire's Millet (or nation) system under which local authorities
governed confessional communities with separate ethnic identities.
Israel's 1967 Golan seizure and 1978 and 1982 Lebanon invasions
followed the plan, Yinon noting "far-reaching opportunities for the
first time since 1967, (created by the) very stormy situation
surround(ing) Israel," resurrected whenever Israel wishes. Its method
involves preemptive belligerence against Palestinians and regional
states, making them all eventual targets to be weakened, fragmented,
divided, and reconfigured under Israeli control.
In 1982, it included dividing Iraq into Shi'ite, Sunni, and Kurdish
areas, what, in fact, unfolded after 2003, Shahak noting that:
"The plan follows faithfully the geopolitical ideas current in Germany
of 1890 - 1933, which were swallowed whole by Hitler and the Nazi
movement, and determined their aims for East Europe." They were then
implemented from 1939 - 1941, "and only (a global alliance) prevented
their consolidation for a period of time."
Citing the "early stages of a new epoch," Yinon said "The existence,
prosperity and steadfastness of (Israel) depend(s) upon its ability to
adopt a new framework for its domestic and foreign affairs," based on
securing its material needs through winnable resource wars and Arab
world divisions.
"All the Arab States east of Israel are torn apart, broken up and
riddled with inner conflicts even more than those of the Maghreb"
(Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, and Western Sahara).
All the Gulf states are "built upon a delicate house of sand in which
there is only oil." Jordan is in reality Palestine, Amman the same as
Nablus.
Other Muslim states are similar. Half of Iran's population is Persian
speaking, the rest ethnically Turkish. Turkey is half Sunni Muslim,
the rest Shi'ite Alawis and Sunni Kurds. Today, Afghanistan's
divisions are clearer, including Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks,
Turkmen, and others. Pakistan also is comprised of Punjabis, Pashtuns,
Sindhis, Seraikis, Muhajirs, Balochs and others.
From Morocco to India, Somalia to Turkey, stability is absent,
"point(ing) to....a rapid degeneration in the entire region" to be
exploited to Israel's advantage. Throughout the Middle East,
depravation, including hunger and unemployment affect millions,
potentially explosive problems only security forces can contain,
giving Israel "far-reaching opportunities for the first time since
1967."
The Six Day War's strategic error was failing to give Jordan to the
Palestinians, thereby "neutralizing" today's problem by removing them.
"Today, we suddenly face immense opportunities for transforming the
situation thoroughly and this we must do in the coming decade,
otherwise we shall not survive as a state."
He recommended far-reaching foreign and domestic political and
economic changes. He also called Israel's peace agreement with Egypt a
mistake, said its economy depends on acquiring oil resources without
which it could be destroyed, and named two ways to get them:
-- directly by breaking the treaty; or
-- regaining control of the Sinai indirectly, Egypt no military
obstacle because of its internal conflicts.
In 1956, its myth as the Arab world's strong leader was revealed,
reiterated in 1967. Its economy is also in crisis, making foreign help
essential. Israel's strategic aim is to weaken it further by breaking
it into distinct geographical regions. If accomplished, other
countries may follow, including Libya and Sudan.
"The vision of a Christian Coptic State in Upper Egypt alongside a
number of weak states with very localized power (and none centrally)
is the key to a historical development which was only set back by the
peace agreement but which seems inevitable in the long run."
Lebanon's division into five provinces is a precedent for the entire
Arab world, including Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and the Arabian
peninsula. Syria will divide into a Shi'ite Alawi coastal state, an
Aleppo area Sunni one, another in Damascus, and the Druzes will set up
their own. This outcome will guarantee peace and security in the long
run, "and that aim is already within our reach today."
Oil rich/internally torn Iraq is a "guaranteed" Israeli target, more
important than Syria. In the short run, it's Israel's greatest threat.
A war with Iran will tear it apart, lead to its downfall, and perhaps
fragment Iran, separating its oil rich Arab speaking province from the
rest of the country. Confrontations elsewhere will cause further
dissolutions.
Because of internal and external pressure, the entire Arabian
peninsula is vulnerable, especially Saudi Arabia. Jordan won't
threaten in the long run after dissolution. "There is no chance that
(it) will continue to exist in its present structure for a long time."
Thus, Israel's policy should be transferring Jordanian power to
Palestinians, hastened by Occupied Territory emigration, resulting in
"Arabs to Jordan and the Jews to the areas west of the river. Genuine
coexistence and peace will reign over the land only when Arabs
understand that without Jewish rule between Jordan and the sea they
will have neither existence nor security." Jordan is their only
alternative, giving Israel more land cleansed of Arabs.
Otherwise, "we shall cease to exist within any borders. Judea, Samaria
(the West Bank and Jerusalem) and the Galilee are our sole guarantee
for national existence....Rebalancing the country demographically,
strategically and economically is the highest and most central aim
today."
Changes transforming world Jewry make Israel the only existential
option. "Our existence is certain." Nothing can "remove us (either)
forcefully or by treachery (Sadat's method)."
Three important points are stressed:
First, Israel's military alone can't occupy more territory. The
solution - rule by "Haddad forces" or "Village Associations,"
controllable local authorities, dissociated from their populations,
Israeli garrisons strategically positioned between the mini states.
Making it feasible depends on keeping Arabs divided.
Second, Yinon's plan was published to win over Israeli society,
especially its elites able to influence others. Problems about Arabs
awareness are minimal, given their divisions and inability to
understand Israeli society.
Neither is America of concern, its pro-Israeli media assumes "good
intentions" regardless of policy, and the Israeli Lobby does the rest.
As a result, Israel operates freely "because the world wants to close
its eyes."
In 1985, Israeli President and Labor Party leader Chaim Herzog echoed
the views of hardline extremists like Sharon and Netanyahu:
"We are certainly not willing to make partners of the Palestinians in
any way in a land that was holy to our people for thousands of years.
There can be no partner with the Jews of this land," leaving
resettlement (expulsion) the only option, a favored policy today, the
same one revisionist leader Ze've Jabotinsky advocated, including in a
1939 letter, saying:
"There is no choice: The Arabs must make room for the Jews in Eretz
Israel. It it was possible to transfer the Baltic peoples, it is also
possible to move the Palestinian Arabs." Most was accomplished in
Israel's 1948 "War of Independence," again in the 1967 Six Day War.
Thereafter it continued, supported and funded by Israel's Washington
paymaster/partner in crime. As a result, Palestinians have been on
their own resisting for over six decades, their courage and
determination unreported in the West, but global support builds and
offers hope.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its full
capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not mean that I
agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL" means that I believe
it is important for the people of this planet to know about what people think or
do, even when what they think or do is completely stupid and against our
philosophy. When I selected articles in the past about stupid Christian
fundamentalists in America praying for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader
was stupid enough to believe that I was supporting praying to change the
weather. So, when I select articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-semitic,
anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or
religion, or any other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It
just means that it is important for all human beings to know about them. Common
sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good enough to
understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug decriminalization, it
is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment, which in this case was very
clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs, as it is stupid to throw depressed
and sad people (as only depressed and sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin
their life with a criminal record. That does not mean that there is any change
to the Message which says clearly that we must not use any drug except for
medical purposes. The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be
absolute. That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
antisemites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your enemies
or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight them. With love
and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence of the French philosopher
Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
Rael
