Items related to Zionisn-The Real Enemy of the Jews Paperback Alan Hart
The False Messiah is Volume I of a monumental history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Zionism: 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 jig-saw puzzle fit together. It's also the first ever account of events to address the motives, needs, and dilemmas faced by all sides: 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. 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, to unearth how and by whom the levers of US policy in the Middle East have been pulled from pre-creation of Israel to the end of the Clinton era. Hart takes us well beyond the existing written record, weaving events play by play/player by player, prying out the motivating factors and sequences of events which the surface flow of official histories leave uncovered, where, truly, the devil is in the details. This series is key to understanding US/Israeli relations as developed over the long term, and who has been the primary determiner of policy in the region.

From the Publisher:
Historic. Momentous. Profound. Alan Hart has succeeded in producing the first ever truly balanced assessement of why Palestine is in such a mess and who must do what to prevent this greatest of all injustices leading to a greater anti-Semitism and Islamophobia around the world.
From the Author:
ZIONISM: THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS is the first ever book to put the struggle for Palestine into its global context – to show how all the pieces of a complicated jig-saw puzzle fit together. It’s also the first ever account of events to empathise with both sides: with the real fear of diaspora Jews – Holocaust II; and with the humiliation of the Arab masses – humiliation which is the product of Israel’s arrogance of power, American support for Zionism right or wrong, and the incompetence, corruption and repression of the regimes of the existing Arab Order.
Stripped down to its fundamental essence, my book is a call for the Jews to become the light unto nations. (Not least because the rest of us need them to be). In the text of the Epilogue, and highlighted on the back cover of Volume Two, I write as follows:
If the Jews of the diaspora can summon up the will and the courage to make common cause with the forces of reason in Israel before it is too late for us all, a very great prize awaits them. By demonstrating that right can triumph over might, and that there is a place for morality in politics, they would become the light unto nations. It is a prize available to no other people on earth because of the uniqueness of the suffering of the Jews. Perhaps that is the real point of the idea of the Jews as Chosen People... Chosen to endure unique suffering and, having endured it, to show the rest of us that creating a better and more just world is not a mission impossible.I wrote this book to provoke and promote, worldwide, the first ever informed and honest debate about who must do what if there is to be a peaceful resolution of the Palestine problem, which is the prerequisite for averting a Clash of Civilisations, Judeo-Christian v Islamic.
