THE DEEPLY ZIONIST JEFF HALPER? Posted by: "Paul Eisen"<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:paul@eisen.demon.co.uk">paul@eisen.demon.co.uk</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; deiryassinuk Fri Aug 10, 2007 7:45 am (PST)<br>
<br>
<span style="white-space: pre;">&gt;&gt; Dear Paul,<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; Hope you're doing well. Would you please elaborate on how Jeff<br>
&gt;&gt; Halper is zionist?<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; X<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Dear X<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Jeff Halper made aliyah in the sixties. He has, since that time, <br>
&gt; lived as an Israeli bringing up an Israeli family. He lives in
west <br>
&gt; Jerusalem - a part of Palestine cleansed of Palestinians.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Jeff Halper has consistently supported and worked for an empowered
<br>
&gt; Jewish entity in Palestine. For most of the time this has been in
the<br>
&gt;&nbsp; form of advocacy for a two-state solution, explicitly designed to
<br>
&gt; ensure Jewish supremacy in Palestine. He has in recent years begun
to<br>
&gt;&nbsp; talk about a federation of Israel, Palestine and other Mid-East <br>
&gt; states and has even dallied with the notion of one state. However,
<br>
&gt; this has only been in the light of his realisation of the <br>
&gt; impossibility of two states, and no matter what formulation he <br>
&gt; supports at any time, always at the bottom of it is a supreme
Jewish <br>
&gt; empowerment in Palestine.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Halper made his name as founder of the Israeli Committee Against <br>
&gt; House Demolitions (ICAHD). ICAHD rebuilds (in effect,
symbolically) <br>
&gt; bulldozed Palestinian homes. The most famous instance of this was
the<br>
&gt;&nbsp; home of Salim Sharamweh in the village of Anata. Three times,<br>
&gt; Salim's house was bulldozed and three times ICAHD rebuilt it. The<br>
&gt; house is now standing as "Beit Arabiyah" , a centre for solidarity<br>
&gt; activism on the West Bank. "What excellent work" I hear you say,
"Why<br>
&gt; is this grumpy Paul Eisen rubbishing this excellent Jew!" The
answer<br>
&gt; is that what the IDF does with bulldozers, Jeff Halper does with
good<br>
&gt; works. Salim Sharamweh now lives in what was his own house by kind
<br>
&gt; permission of the good Jew Jeff Halper. "Beit Arabiyah" is no
longer <br>
&gt; a Palestinian house - it is a Jewish house, a testament to Jewish <br>
&gt; moral supremacy. Again, what the IDF does with bull-dozers, Jeff <br>
&gt; Halper does with good works.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Halper on occasions has made the grave error of trying to talk to
me <br>
&gt; Jew-to-Jew. I can tell you, when Jeff Halper is speaking to
another <br>
&gt; Jew, his supremacism is breathtaking and surpassed only by the
extent<br>
&gt;&nbsp; to which he keeps it concealed.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; In conclusion, it is my view that Jeff Halper is the very worst
kind <br>
&gt; of Jewish supremacist - the kind who doesn't look the part. <br>
&gt; Personally, I would rather have tea with Ehud Olmert any day of
the <br>
&gt; week.<br>
