Titolo: a proposito di sionismo

Prego leggere per intero questo articolo sull'IHT che cito parzialmente.
Si e' spesso parlato in questo NG dei pii ed innocenti (pacifici soprattutto)
obiettivi del sionismo - prego leggere sotto la parte
sul "revisionismo sionista" e su dove sono i confini della grande Israele.
Breve ma completo riassunto dei piani del mandante del massacro
di Sabra e Chatila - insomma un vero riassunto di buone intenzioni,
proprio davvero bello il sionismo.

At least Sharon is consistent on the settlements

 Leaving Gaza
 
BOSTON More than 25 years ago Moshe Dayan, then Israel's foreign minister, was
showing me his beloved collection of Egyptian artifacts, some of which he had
helped dig from the desert in Gaza. With a wink of his one good eye, Dayan said
that he hoped that the remains of an ancient synagogue would never be found in
the Gaza Strip. What he meant was that he hoped Gaza would never become so
embedded in the Zionist dreams of his boss, Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and
his right-wing Likud Party that it could never be given up.
(..)
So the Labor government let just a few Jews set up shop above Hebron. But the
seeds had been sown, and when the Likud Party took power, Jewish settlements
became official policy and Ariel Sharon their biggest backer. More and more Arab
land was taken.
.
For the roots of the Likud Party are to be found in the philosophy of Zeev
Jabotinsky, who died before the Israeli state was born. His "revisionist"
Zionism was much less compromising than the mainstream Zionist movement and
advocated force "without paying attention to the mood of the natives." The Arabs
would be contained behind "an iron wall" of Zionist resolve "which they will be
powerless to break down," he wrote in 1923. He considered a "voluntary agreement
between us and the Arabs of Palestine" as "inconceivable now or in the
foreseeable future."
.
When the state of Israel was born in compromise, Begin, a Jabotinsky disciple,
broke with David Ben Gurion because Begin could not agree to giving up any of
the sacred soil of Israel. Indeed, the original goals of Begin's Irgun movement,
which many mainstream Jews considered a terrorist organization, was a Greater
Israel to include what is now Jordan.
(..)
When Egypt's Anwar Sadat came to Israel to make peace a quarter of a century
ago, he said it would be part of a package deal that would bring a solution to
the Palestinian issue as well. But while Begin was willing to give back the
Sinai and remove Jewish settlements, he never intended to give up the West Bank.
.
Now another Likud prime minister, Ariel Sharon, is willing to disengage in Gaza,
which seethes with poverty, unemployment and discontent, leaving it to its own
devices while maintaining control of its borders, coastline, and airspace - a
vast prison. What is left of the West Bank in Sharon's plan will be cut up into
separated territories that are being compared to apartheid South Africa's
Bantustans. Gaza is to be traded for much of the West Bank. There is no surprise
in Sharon's plans. He at least has remained consistent.
