This isn't a quote from a current report on West Bank settler violence, but from a report written by Ahad Ha'am and published in June 1891.

Ahad Ha'am (the pen name of Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg) was a leading Zionist ideologue and the founder of "Cultural Zionism". This excerpt is from a report, written after his first trip to Palestine, called Truth from the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), which was published in HaMelitz, a Hebrew newspaper printed in the Russian Empire.

1891 was six years before the official birth of the modern Zionist movement, or "Political Zionism", sixteen years before the establishment of the first Zionist militia in Palestine (Bar Giora), and twenty-six years before the Balfour Declaration. But by this point, at least five Palestinian villages had already been uprooted to make room for proto-Zionist Jewish settlements.

Zionism was always a colonial, violent, racist movement. Zionists never saw Palestinians as human beings equal to themselves. The supremacist tendencies were always there, embedded in the mindset of the colonial settlers, who raised the next generation on the same values. The next generation, in turn, kept the indoctrination going, and so on.

And now, 135 years later, we are seeing the inevitable culmination of this supremacist way of thought. The Zionists are committing an unimaginably horrific genocide against the native people of Palestine. And somehow, the world still turns a blind eye, just like it ignored the warnings all the way back in the 19th century.

The full excerpt from Ginsberg's report:

"We must surely learn, from both our past and present history, how careful we must be not to provoke the anger of the native people by doing them wrong, how we should be cautious in our dealings with a foreign people among whom we returned to live, to handle these people with love and respect and, needless to say, with justice and good judgment. And what do our brothers do? Exactly the opposite! They were slaves in their Diasporas, and suddenly they find themselves with unlimited freedom, wild freedom that only a country like Turkey [the Ottoman Empire] can offer. This sudden change has planted despotic tendencies in their hearts, as always happens to former slaves ["eved ki yimlokh" – when a slave becomes king – Proverbs 30:22]. They deal with the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, trespass unjustly, beat them shamefully for no sufficient reason, and even boast about their actions. There is no one to stop the flood and put an end to this despicable and dangerous tendency. Our brothers indeed were right when they said that the Arab only respects he who exhibits bravery and courage. But when these people feel that the law is on their rival's side and, even more so, if they are right to think their rival's actions are unjust and oppressive, then, even if they are silent and endlessly reserved, they keep their anger in their hearts. And these people will be revengeful like no other."

Nissim Vaturi, Likud MK and deputy speaker of the Knesset, reiterates his call to ethnically cleanse all Palestinians from Palestine.

Excerpt taken from Boaz Golan’s show on Channel 14, the Israeli government’s leading propaganda outlet. Aired on June 24.

There were indeed similarities - both were part of an indigenous anti-colonial struggle, and yes, both also included some horrific deaths.

Another resemblance was the atrocity propaganda. The Zionist atrocity propaganda of 1929 set the atmosphere - not just among Zionists but across the West - for the crushing of the 1936-1939 revolt by the British, the 1948 Nakba, and 76 years of oppression and apartheid. It then inspired the creators of Israeli October 7 atrocity propaganda, which was and still is used to manufacture consent for an ongoing genocide.

One of many supposed "testimonies" from 1929 Hebron, quoted last year in a tweet by Zionist propagandist Melanie Phillips, read: "They cut off hands, they cut off fingers, they held heads over a stove, they gouged out eyes. A rabbi stood immobile, commending the souls of his Jews to God – they scalped him. They made off with his brains.

On Mrs. Sokolov’s lap, one after the other, they sat six students from the yeshiva and, with her still alive, slit their throats. They mutilated the men. They shoved thirteen-year-old girls, mothers, and grandmothers into the blood and raped them in unison."

What never makes it into the Zionist version of "history", is the fact that the British Mandatory authorities, in cooperation with the Zionists, conducted an investigation into the allegations of torture, sexual abuse, and mutilation during the Hebron attacks, and found no proof whatsoever for any of it.

And just like today, Zionists responded with gaslighting - the Jewish doctors involved insisted that "because of the advanced stage of decay of the bodies when the exhumation took place, proper examination was impossible" and Zionist representatives ordered to stop the exhumation, after only one third of the bodies were dug up.

The Zionist Executive declared they "deplored" the mere questioning of the allegations, just like 94 years later, when the state they created outright refused to cooperate with the UN investigation into sexual violence allegations from October 7.

The Zionist newspaper Zionist Bulletin sarcastically mocked the eyewitness account of local British officer Cafferata and wrote that "We fail to appreciate why, if he, as a police officer, present apparently at several places at once, did not, even at the risk of his own life, do something to prevent the murders."

In reality, Officer Cafferata possibly prevented a much larger massacre and actually killed several attackers - and possibly others, since he constantly shot indiscriminately into the crowd - including an Arab policeman under his command. In Zionist historiography, Cafferata and the rest of the British are depicted, of course, as antisemites who helped the Arabs slaughter Jews.

The source of the above info is not some antisemitic British reporter, or a blood-libelous oriental Arab tale, but the September 24, 1929 issue of the Jewish Daily Bulletin, a Jewish newspaper published in New York by the Jewish Telegraphic agency.

"The way things are progressing at the moment, Lebanon will be annihilated. And I say this in a very blunt way: we are in a type of event where Lebanon is going towards annihilation..."

The Minister of Education said that "Lebanon as we know it will cease to exist".

I warned in a tweet back then, but no one listened, unfortunately:

"Please believe these people. They've already promised one genocide and that's exactly what they did. ISRAEL MUST BE STOPPED."
