Zionist logic
Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves?
Malcolm X was the most perceptive and upstanding political figure in 20th century America bar none. Despite mainstream efforts to malign him during his lifetime and sully his reputation after his — in all likelihood — state-sanctioned assassination, Malcolm’s legacy has been a beacon for everyone seeking truth and justice in this depraved and malicious sociopolitical environment we inhabit.
Malcolm — or El-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, the name he adopted after his conversion to orthodox Islam and subsequent pilgrimage to Makkah — visited Gaza from September 5-6, 1964. During his brief stay in the enclave, Malcolm visited Khan Yunis, met refugees, religious leaders, and also held a press conference. After his return from Gaza, Malcolm wrote an article titled “Zionist logic” for Cairo-based newspaper, The Egyptian Gazette.
In the essay, Malcolm was at his eloquent and perceptive best and what he wrote — like pretty much everything he ever wrote and said — remains as honest, seering and relevant as ever.
Here’s a reproduction of the “Zionist logic” — published in The Egyptian Gazette on September 17, 1964 — in full:
The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient Jewish prophets predicted that in the "last days of this world" their own God would raise them up a “messiah” who would lead them to their promised land, and they would set up their own “divine” government in this newly-gained land, this “divine” government would enable them to “rule all other nations with a rod of iron.”
If the Israeli Zionists believe their present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of predictions made by their Jewish prophets, then they also religiously believe that Israel must fulfill its “divine” mission to rule all other nations with a rod of irons, which only means a different form of iron-like rule, more firmly entrenched even, than that of the former European Colonial Powers.
These Israeli Zionists religiously believe their Jewish God has chosen them to replace the outdated European colonialism with a new form of colonialism, so well disguised that it will enable them to deceive the African masses into submitting willingly to their “divine” authority and guidance, without the African masses being aware that they are still colonized.
Camouflage
The Israeli Zionists are convinced they have successfully camouflaged their new kind of colonialism. Their colonialism appears to be more “benevolent,” more “philanthropic,” a system with which they rule simply by getting their potential victims to accept their friendly offers of economic “aid,” and other tempting gifts, that they dangle in front of the newly-independent African nations, whose economies are experiencing great difficulties. During the 19th century, when the masses here in Africa were largely illiterate it was easy for European imperialists to rule them with “force and fear,” but in this present era of enlightenment the African masses are awakening, and it is impossible to hold them in check now with the antiquated methods of the 19th century.
The imperialists, therefore, have been compelled to devise new methods. Since they can no longer force or frighten the masses into submission, they must devise modern methods that will enable them to maneuver the African masses into willing submission.
The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is “dollarism.” The Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly “independent” African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of the 18th century European colonialists...and this new kind of Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in motive or objective.
At the close of the 19th century when European imperialists wisely foresaw that the awakening masses of Africa would not submit to their old method of ruling through force and fears, these ever-scheming imperialists had to create a “new weapon,” and to find a “new base” for that weapon.
Dollarism
The number one weapon of 20th century imperialism is Zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel. The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians.
Zionist Israel’s occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it impossible for these newly independent Arab nations to concentrate on strengthening the economies of their countries and elevate the living standard of their people.
And the continued low standard of living in the Arab world has been skillfully used by the Zionist propagandists to make it appear to the Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically qualified to lift the living standard of their people...thus, indirectly inducing Africans to turn away from the Arabs and towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance.
“They cripple the bird’s wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they.”
The imperialists always make themselves look good, but it is only because they are competing against economically crippled newly independent countries whose economies are actually crippled by the Zionist-capitalist conspiracy. They can’t stand against fair competition, thus they dread Gamal Abdul Nasser’s call for African-Arab Unity under Socialism.
Messiah?
If the “religious” claim of the Zionists is true that they were to be led to the promised land by their messiah, and Israel’s present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of that prophesy: where is their messiah whom their prophets said would get the credit for leading them there? It was [United Nations mediator] Ralph Bunche who “negotiated” the Zionists into possession of Occupied Palestine! Is Ralph Bunche the messiah of Zionism? If Ralph Bunche is not their messiah, and their messiah has not yet come, then what are they doing in Palestine ahead of their messiah?
Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves just based on the "religious" claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation...where Spain used to be, as the European Zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?
In short the Zionist argument to justify Israel’s present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history...not even in their own religion. Where is their Messiah?

A brilliant statement by Malcolm X as pertinent today as when he spoke it.
Let's also acknowledge the extent to which Zionism is also a fake cover story for Anglo-American imperialism in anchoring the southern extremity of their line of control extending down through Europe to the Middle East. The U.S. military has called Israel its "aircraft carrier" in the region. Biden has said if Israel didn't exist, the U.S. would have to create it.
Fanatic supremacists are what we thought of the nazis, zionists go beyond the fanatism of nazism, as they have again proven for more than 6 months now.
The so called zionism, as we can all see, is a form of extremism which is cherished by the eugenists technocrats, as they them selfs, are supremacists which believe in Genocide as mean of maintain control.
In fact, as we can all see, they are the same ones which is sponsoring and endorsing this Genocide turned into an holocaust. “By the way, on day 100 of the war they also all met in Davos.
To tell you the truth, I don’t see how we can end one and let the other Scott free, I mean, it is impossible as they both are essentially one of the same.
Nevertheless, the pressure made by people is working, and the nazizionists are now retreating, which to me is a sign that the massacres will soon stop.
Nevertheless, israeli Genocidal authorities must be made to pay for their crimes.
So many decades of warcrimes and theft under total impunity, have naturally morphed into this brutal Genocide, and for sure, if again no accountability would be given, the situation is going to eventually, as we have again now witnessed, degenerate into something even worst.
Indoctrination to supremacists cults which instigate violence, or terror on other groups, must be declared for what they are, criminal, and as such, treated.
Peace, freedom, dignity, prosperity, and justice for Palestine, means peace freedom prosperity and justice for the entire world.
We are all Palestine.
Thank you for sharing.
