Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-11 00:00:00 Lance Reynolds Alan Hart, Zionism: the Real Enemy of the Jews The book is about the endeavours of the Zionists to establish Israel on Palestinian territory which began in the early part of the 20th Century. The first Zionist success came with the Balfour declaration in 1917 when Great Britain promised to give them what really wasn't British to give or, historically, Jewish to take. Alan Hart gives a brief résumé of Jewish history proving that, genetically, 20th Century Jews have as much right to Palestine as the Romans to Britain. Hart's overview of Zionist Lobbies at work, their chief tactic being to put unceasing pressure on UK and especially US politicians, is thorough. The most alarming facet is the ease with which US politicians could and still can be cajoled into supporting the Zionist cause: it's a question of money. The Zionists fund the election campaigns. Once elected, the new politicians have to do the Zionists' bidding. Palestinian views were, and remain, unheard. Following WW2 the Zionists were armed with what Hart calls 'the Holocaust card' - a card which beat all others and affords them, to this day, cart blanche in their dealings with the Palestinians and other Arabs (viz. Iran, currently). In spite of his thorough research, Hart somehow misses a fundamental bit of history: Chaim Weizmann's pre-war declaration in Poland that Palestine is "no solution for the Jewish problem in Europe....we want only the best of Jewish youth to come to us. We want only people of education to enter Palestine for the purpose of increasing its culture. The other Jews will have to stay where they are and face whatever fate awaits them. These millions of Jews are dust on the wheels of history and have to be blown away. We don't want them pouring into Palestine. We don't want our Tel Aviv to become another low grade ghetto". Ominous, to put it mildly! (This Weizmann declaration also appeared in the New Judea magazine in its 1937 Fall issue). Unfortunately, while Hart misses out on this real statement, he has a tendency to put thoughts into his principal characters' heads and hypothesises on their conversations, (he must have thought so and so, or the conversation might have gone like this...) then gives these in quotes! This may be a stratagem to make the book more readable but such luxuries should only be used in novels, not in non-fictional works. In spite of this the book is excellent, packed with information and well worth a read.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-20 00:00:00 Celia Taitt This book is a must read for anyone interested in the true history of Israel/Palestine. There are 3 books in the series, which cover much of the history in depth, delving into the political background of decisions made, particularly regarding Israel and the US but also including Britain, and France. It also gives a startling insight into how the Zionist lobby has, in all practical terms, determined the Middle East policy of the US. The details presented, give a very disturbing picture of how Zionists have hijacked the US government for their own purposes, and the difficulties of all successive Presidents to withstand the pressure of AIPAC (the Zionist lobby). It explains how this pressure has been allowed to persist by the flawed electoral system of the US. It shows how Jews in Israel and around the world have been duped by the Israeli propaganda machine, and by the Israeli government's blatant lies to their people and the world. All Jewish people should definitely read this book to see if they agree with the author's allegation that Zionism is bad for the US, bad for Israel, and bad for Jews around the world, probably causing a rise in antisemitism which nobody wants to see. The author is very knowledgeable on this topic, and was friends with Golda Meir and Yasser Arafat. One of the overriding themes of the book is that Israel was never, at any time, seriously threatened with annhilation by Arab states. They were, as Israel knew full well, totally ill equipped to even consider invasion except the disastrous attempt at the very beginning of Israel's existence. Israel has always presented itself to the world has the 'little man' under existential threat from Arab States. This is a lie, and is shown clearly in the book. I cannot praise this book enough.
