   Will France recognize the State of Palestine? Will Malta recognize the State of Palestine if no one else does on the 20th, or will there be another U turn by the Government? Let’s wait and see….

   A ‘FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND NEGROES’
   We may juxtapose this call against the many statements by Zionists, varying in their explicit racism, of the need to replace the native Arab inhabitants of Palestine with Jewish émigrés. Herzl, for instance, wrote of the indigenous Arabs of Palestine in his diary, that ‘we shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border…while denying it employment in our own country.’ Lord Balfour, the foreign secretary who declared the British Empire’s official backing for the cause of a Jewish nation-state in Palestine, remarked in 1922 that Zionism was ‘of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land.’ For Chaim Weizmann, Palestine contained ‘a few hundred thousand Negroes [כושים], but that is a matter of no significance.’ One challenge for Zionists was what to do with these Palestinian ‘Negroes’. Two options were foreseeable, either the transfer of Palestine’s non-Jewish Arabs elsewhere or their rule within the bounds of a territorially contiguous Jewish state—the latter arrangement representing what Ben-Gurion in 1967 and Yitzhak Rabin in 1976 prophetically warned would become ‘apartheid’. Which to choose?

   BITTER CANAAN
   Here analogies to settler colonial states in Africa (not, tellingly, its anti-colonial movements) were useful. In 1941, the head of the Jewish National Fund, Menachem Ussishkin perceptively remarked on South Africa, ‘the blacks are eighty percent and have no rights at all . . . do you want that the Jews who are twenty percent should rule in Palestine?’ He ruled this option out, hoping that Jewish emigration would eventually give the Jews of the Yishuv a majority. ‘First, a Jewish state, and second, equal rights for the Arabs, and third, transfer of the Arabs only if they consent, as Mr. Ben-Gurion has written, is squaring the circle. It is impossible.’

      Explainer: The Zionist movement is made up of white Americanised Eastern European and ex-Soviet Block secular Ashkenazi Jews, who consider the original populations of the region as nothing less than despised vermin who are in the way of the land that they covet for themselves, and are therefore disposable. This includes the original Hasisic (religious orthodox Jewish) population who are protected under the 1947 UN declaration granting separation of the Israeli state from Mandated Palestine, but are in fact also being brutalised by IDF.
