tiOHFOüC Actio v £rs what's going on in the MID-EAST? What do the Arabs want? Basically, all the Arabs want is to live peacefully in their homeland. Egypt and Syria want to regain their territory lost in 1967. The Palestinians want to return from the desert to the homes they were forced out of 25 years ago. Fateh, the major Palestinian commando group, says that its goal is "to establish a just and democratic society in which Jew, Moslem, and Christian can work and live peacefully together." A simple goal, but it runs into the opposition of Western financiers and oilmen who seek to protect their mortgage on Israel, the only country in East Asia which gives them a free hand for profit- making. What is Israel? The state of Israel was created 25 years ago against the wishes of the United nations and the majority of the people living in the Mid-East. World War II caused thousands of Jewish refugees to become homeless. The rulers of the victorious Allied countries had no wish to see thousands of immigrants sitting on their own doorsteps. They decided to ship the refugees off to Palestine, an Arab country which became a British war prize in 1918. Luckily for the West, this plan coincided perfectly with the interests of two other groups: Western bankers and oilmen, and the Zionists. Bankers and oilmen wanted to expand or create spheres of profit-making. Zionists saw the chance to make a 50-year old dream come true. What is Zionism? It is an ideology first developed in the 1890's by Jewish businessmen. They were seeking an answer to European racism which was brutally oppressing the Jewish people. The idea was that all persons of Jewish religion had a God-given right to establish and live in a new country, unfortunately, the land they chose to settle, Palestine, was occupied by two million Arabs, who had farmed there for 2,000 years. Beginning in 1900, Europeans began emigrating to Palestine, buying land and property when possible, or swindling peasants when necessary. By the 1940's, underground gangster groups, such as the Stern Gang and the Haganah, began a campaign of terrorist bombings and murders to force the Arab inhabitants to flee for their lives. In 1948, the United Nations proposed to establish two nations in the area, one Arab, the other immigrant. The Zionists refused, demanding the whole pie, or else. Immediately, the U.S. capitalist community bent over
