*** IMPORTANT NOTE: Palestine. Palestine is a vital component of the Fertile Crescent. Palestine has been continuously inhabited by our people for over 10,000 years. For the last century alien colonialists from outside the Fertile Crescent have conducted a massive campaign of expulsion, expropriation and settlement. This settler-colonialist movement is known as "Zionism". To paraphrase Proudhon, "Zionism is theft". Everyone who is concerned with the Near East in general and the Fertile Crescent in particular MUST take a forthright stand against Zionism. Zionism is an extremely destructive, destabilizing and reactionary movement. It has brought great pain and suffering to the Fertile Crescent. There can be no denying or avoiding the fact that Zionism is committed to the utter annihilation of the Fertile Crescent. *** |
