Ayoon Wa Azan (All Israeli Prime Minister Are of this Breed)

Earlier this week, Benzion Mileikowsky passed away. He was 102 years. Mileikowsky was a prominent Polish historian who emigrated to America and an expert on the Jewish golden age in Spain (where they served the Arab kings). He chronicled the lives of Zionist leaders, including Ze'ev Jabotinsky, ‘the father of Zionist revisionism’ -or extremism- and was his representative and the leader of his movement’s chapter in the United States. But who was Benzion Mileikowsky exactly? He was the father of the Prime Minister of Israel, the war (and peace) criminal, who inherited extremism from his father. So much so that I read in the latter’s obituary that the Prime Minister may become more willing to reach a peace settlement after the passing of his father, who prevented him from showing any flexibility in the peace process. Mileikowsky changed his name to Netanyahu. I read that this word in Hebrew means ‘God’s Gift’, which is also the meaning of the Arab family name ‘Atallah, found in many Arab countries. The ‘Atallah family is a noble and honorable family, and its members are all known by the names of their fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers - unlike Zionist leaders, be they moderate socialists or extremist revisionists. On 21/2/2010, I wrote in this column about the Prime Ministers of Israel, beginning with the first PM Ben-Gurion, and ending with the last PM Netanyahu. I said that each one of them had changed his family name because they are all ‘mongrels’. In Lebanon, we call a dog born to a pedigree (like a German, Polish or Hungarian pedigree) and a hybrid, a ‘howling bastard’. By the same measure, all Israeli prime ministers are of this breed. I hope that it is clear that I am talking here about 13 men and one woman, and not all Israelis, and certainly not the Jews, who include many peace advocates that I find to be even better than Arab peace advocates, and it is possible to have accord and coexist with them as soon as tomorrow. Mongrels are those like Ben-Gurion, whose original family name was Grün, and who was also Polish. Moreover, Moshe Sharett’s original family name was Shertok; Yitzhak Shamir’s original family name was Jeziernicky; Golda Meir’s original name was Mabovitch and she was originally from Kiev; and Ariel Sharon’s original family name was Scheinermann, and he was originally from Russia…and so forth and so on all the way to Netanyahu. If the reader wishes to know where Netanyahu inherited his political baseness from, then all he has to do is read his father’s history. Benzion was born in Poland in 1910 to Zionist activist Nathan Mileikowsky. In 1920, he immigrated to Palestine, and he married in 1944. He then immigrated to the United States to continue his education, and there he became a known university professor. Benzion Mileikowsky belonged to the Jabotinsky Zionist School, which is the most extreme among its peers, and was that Revisionist Zionist’s secretary in the United States. Such was the extremism of this faction that it refused the UN partition plan of 1947, demanding instead an Israeli state over all of Palestine, including the East Bank of the Jordan River, and spoke of an Israel that extended from the Euphrates to the Nile. This is all just a myth. There are no traces of any Israel in our countries in any stages of ancient history. There were Jews, but there were no kingdoms at all. In Jerusalem, there are no traces of Solomon and his Temple, or of any of the so-called kings and prophets, whether before or after him. If the reader opts to study ancient Middle Eastern history in any international university, even an American one as I did, he would hear that the alleged Israeli history is but a bunch of biblical myths that have no archaeological traces on the ground to corroborate them. Returning to Benzion Mileikowsky, he returned with his family to Israel (Palestine) after its foundation. However, despite his academic reputation, he found himself an outcast among the socialist Zionists, so he returned to America where he taught in many universities, and became a professor emeritus at Cornell University. Politically, he was without honor, just like his mentor Jabotinsky was, and he bequeathed his extremist ‘genes’ to his children. Thus, his son Benjamin Netanyahu went on to become a war criminal who once boasted his part in the attack against Beirut Airport, around Christmas in 1968, and the destruction of civilian airplanes there. But God soon took revenge against him when his brother Yonatan was killed in the hostage rescue raid on an Air France plane, which had been hijacked to Entebbe, Uganda, in 1976. Today, there is Benjamin Netanyahu, or yet another Zionist mongrel in the land of Palestine.
