Dayr Yasin - دير ياسين: On April 10^th, 1948, the day after the horrific Deir Yassin Massacre, Albert Einstein penned a response to the Stern terror gang, who had solicited funds from him in the United States

Einstein's Insight on Zionism and the Nakba

Our gift to so many Jews who still deny Nakba!

You can view Einstein's full response here. It is striking because it shows that as early as April 10, 1948, Einstein foresaw the consequences of the Zionist movement's actions, which led to the massacre at Deir Yassin, which was covered by the NY Times on the same date. Einstein predicted that the Zionists would eventually bring a Nakba (using the word "catastrophe" --see a comparative analysis here) upon the Jewish people. Two years earlier, Hannah Arendt (one of the top intellectuals in the 20th century) predicted something similar in May 1946.

Einstein's deep understanding suggests he knew that Zionists fomented antisemitism, even in places where it did not previously exist. This perspective forces us to reflect: when was antisemitism ever bad for Zionism? The honest answer is never, which speaks volumes about the nature of the movement.

Beyond "Fringe Elements": Deir Yassin and the Zionist Leadership

Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

Shamelessly, so many Jews attempt to deflect blame for the atrocities by claiming they were committed only by a small, fringe element within the Zionist movement. While the Irgun and Stern gangs were key perpetrators, this deflection intentionally omits crucial facts about the involvement of the mainstream Zionist leadership:

• Haganah Approval: David Ben-Gurion's Haganah approved of the attack on the village of Deir Yassin, despite a non-aggression agreement with the villagers.
• Haganah Assistance: The Haganah even bombed the village while the Irgun was en route to attack.
• Celebrated War Criminals: Two of Irgun's leaders, Menachem Begin and Yishak Shamir, later became Prime Ministers of the "Jewish state" and are celebrated as heroes by the majority of its Jewish population. It is particularly disturbing to recall that these same criminals bombed WWII efforts in Palestine while their own families were being gassed in Poland.

The Reality of Palestinian Dispossession

JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

Let Einstein's letter serve as a critical piece of evidence for the many Jews who keep denying that the Nakba ever happened. This is the historical process by which we Palestinians were replaced and dispossessed.

We must ask: Does this history of replacement and ethnic cleansing make Jews safer? Do the actions of these Zionist founders reflect well on the concept of refugees? Do Palestinians have every right to hate (not love) those who replaced them? We find it amazing how so many Jews still expect Palestinians to approve of those who replaced them!

Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

Unabashedly, often Zionist Jews try to paint Albert Einstein as a Zionist like them, which cannot be further from the truth. Yes, Einstein indeed called himself a "Zionist"; however, he was a Zionist who was vehemently against the nation-state concept, as you'll see below. His close friends Judah Leon Magnes (founder of the Hebrew University) & Hannah Arendt. Thus, their version of "Zionism" was and still is in sync with Palestinians' demand: a bi-national state which in practice is as anti-Zionist as it gets!

In any case, here are samples of his letters, which we have cited from EINSTEIN ON ISRAEL AND ZIONISM, p. 110-111 and 112-113.

Address for the Third Seder, National Labor
Committee for Palestine, as Reported in The New York Times

3,000 HEAR EINSTEIN AT SEDER SERVICE
Against Palestine State
Division Might Give Rise to "Narrow Nationalism"
That Is Being Fought, He Holds

...Professor Einstein spoke in German at the Seder of the National Labor Committee for Palestine, attended by representatives of Jewish labor and civic and cultural life.
...While urging continued effort in the upbuilding of Palestine as a Jewish homeland, he expressed himself as op-Posed to the British proposal for a division of Palestine between Jews and Arabs and the creation of a separate Jewish State. He feared that the setting up of a political Jewish State in Palestine might lead to the development of a "narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against we have already to fight strongly even without a Jewish state."

Excerpt from "Our Debt to Zionism"

Israel Honored Hitler's Lover Boy (Avraham Stern) By Placing His Portrait On Stamp

To be a Jew ... means first of all to acknowledge and follow in practice those fundamentals in humaneness laid down in the Bible....
We meet today because of our concern for the development of Palestine.... [O]ne thing, above all, must be emphasized: Judaism owes a great debt of gratitude to Zionism. The Zionist movement has revived among Jews the sense of community....

Now the fateful disease of our time--exaggerated nationalism, borne up by blind hatred--has brought our work in Palestine to a most difficult stage... [We must have] armed protection against fanatical Arab outlaws.

Everyone knows that the riots arc artificially fomented by those directly interested in embarrassing not only ourselves but especially England. Everyone that banditry would cease if foreign subsidies were withdrawn....

A Playlist Of Short Clips Of Jews Sharing Their DNA Test Results

Just one more personal word on the question of partition:

I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state.... [T]hc essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and measure of temporal power.... I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain--especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even a Jewish state.... A return to a nation in the political sense of the word would be equivalent to turning away from the spiritualization of our community which we owe to the genius of our prophets. If external necessity should after all compel us to assume this burden, let us bear it with tact and patience.

Letter from F. I. Shatara, President of the Arab National League

My dear Professor Einstein:

Click the image to enlarge it.

Permit me to congratulate you for your address delivered on April 17th, at Seder Service, Hotel Astor, New York City. The warning that you have uttered against the dangers inherent in Political Zionism finds ample substantiation in the current unfortunate events in Palestine. At a time when most Jewish leaders seem to have yielded to emotional romanticism, it is refreshing to hear from a clear-headed leader and thinker who has the courage to tell the truth no matter how unpopular the truth may be.
It is my humble opinion that if Zionists will follow your advice, the historic friendship between the Jews and Arabs will be restored, peace will reign in Palestine, and the two cousin races can then collaborate towards the upbuilding of a Semitic civilization.

This is a great task, which requires a great leader like yourself. If you will lend your efforts and prestige towards solving the Palestine problem, you will have rendered a service to humanity which will rival your immortal service to science.

Very truly yours,
F. I. Shatara
