Disappearing Palestine

Jonathan Cook (born 1965) is a British writer and a freelance journalist based in Nazareth, Israel, who writes about the Middle East, and more specifically, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This book is describes how Palestine is fast disappearing and fulfilling the objectives of Israel's founding fathers. Over many decades, Israel has developed and refined policies to disperse, imprison and impoverish the Palestinian people, in a relentless effort to destroy them as a nation. It has industrialized Palestinian despair through ever more sophisticated systems of curfews, checkpoints, walls, permits and land grabs. Cook analyzes how Israel has transformed the West Bank and Gaza into laboratories for testing the infrastructure of confinement, creating a lucrative "defense" industry by pioneering the technologies needed for urban warfare, crowd control and collective punishment. Antony Loewenstein is an atheist Jewish-Australian political activist, freelance journalist, author and blogger who is based in Sydney. states , "Cook bravely skewers the mainstream narrative of a Jewish state constantly striving for peace with the Palestinians." According to Lowenstein, Cook argues that Israel "pursues policies that lead to civil war and partition," and that this idea of dissolving many of the nations of the Middle East, shared by the neocons and the Bush administration, was developed by Israel's security establishment in the 1980s.[10] Cook discusses an essay authored by Oded Yinon and published by the World Zionist Organisation in 1982 which advocated for Israel's transformation into a regional imperial power via the fragmentation of the Arab world, "into a mosaic of ethnic and confessional groupings that could be more easily manipulated" (p. 107). A review of the book in The Jordan Times called it, "well-researched and very readable." Before another very interesting upload by a famous Israeli Gideon Levy, I think you might be interested to check out these interesting series where Gideon Levy discusses the findings of his most recent book, The Punishment of Gaza.

The Zionist jews think they have the right to destroy and steal Palestine and think that calling anyone who opposes their brutal APARTHEID state of israel an "anti-Semite" will shut us up. The behavior of the Zionist jews in every country is the reason people have treated them that way for thousands of years and hateful idiots like jilthgow just make another pogrom that much more likely.

ramikaz (2011-07-26)

PS. Only liar jews like jilthgow would call the jew authors of this book and other decent jews like Dr. Chomsky, Dr. Norm Finkelstein, and Racheal Corrie, "neo-nazis" or the even more stupid, "self-hating" jews.

Guys thanks a lot for proving even more my point, as to how disgusting and fantastically mind-blowing fascistic racist turds with no compassion or sign of humanness you actually are. You realize what you're doing is just backfiring on yourself, making the world hate you more and more every minute. But You are probably just some brainwashed Israeli 11 year old, who just bought a new iMac. Nevertheless you have officially demonstrated your sub-human state thru your loathsome, cheap words.
I suggest you go play bejewelled or steal land from the poor.

How can these jewish people who roam internet claime that Israel needs to defend itself by any means necessary and yet overlook that Israel itself was created using terrorism where minority of jewish immigrants de facto stole Palestine and created Israel? Write to your political representative to give his voice against Israel's policy of ethnic cleansing.
People constantly talk about how they would like that there's a peace in the middle-east yet most of it is created because of creation Israel. Until Palestinians get at least half of their country back and half of Jerusalem most peace talk is just empty words.

Do you know what historically comes first: Palestine with muslim arabs or Israel populated by Jewish tribes and Jerusalem as it's capital? How can someone say 'Disappearing Palestine' and remove Jews from it? 'Palestine disappears' only when Jews are gone from Palestine not muslim arabs.

ramikaz (2011-07-27)

^ I recall the same being said about you jews, how did it feel?

rajin.33 (2011-07-27)

Wow... smoothdong, firstly i ask why am i talking to a fanatic jew loving piece of dong literally! .. If they only had a word like the Jews did to make the whole world feel sorry for their asses, like the misnomer 'anti-antisemitism', cockroach You fucking antisemite ! You filthy piece of shit, go eat ur self and feed the rest to ur mind fucked family and Israel .. Yes Arabs are Semite too, u ignorant shit face. I DARE YOU to go watch the crap u'v pulled in Gaza to innocent new borns, kids, on ''Tears of Gaza'', then only IF YOU HAVE THE HEART, come back and continue ur bull, unless if ur so ashamed of yourself and ur belief that you apologize and repent !

rajin.33 (2011-07-27)

WOW! hearing the shit these Israeli are capable of saying about other HUMANS,
which roots in to their most core fundamental belief systems, sets a whole new level of Racism that most of you were probably unaware of .
This certainly supersedes any Nazi form of racism. I present you ladies and gentlemen with true Zionism, what most Israeli population believes! I wont have to speak, you just be the judge !
If this is how you think, then down with you and death upon you I wish you racist beasts, Moses Won't forgive you as you don't deserve to be called human and have arms and legs, cause ur despicably sordid and lowborn existence and your rotten heads producing such despicable hating thoughts is phenomenally of too little value, in this universe.

@ rajin.33, well said. When I hear jews speaking like this, it means that either the "holocaust" is a lie, or they are savage animals that learn nothing from history and deserve every one of the endless pogroms that come along.

the palestinians have lost
they know it and the israelis know it, even some americans know it.
the palestinian movement is dead, no one comes to their demonstrations anymore and
israel settles legally in a controlled and planned way on unoccupied land.
palestinians dont object anymore because it’s a futile waste of their time, there are hardly any demonstrations at all, and they are poorly attended, except by middle age liberal euro women hoping for adventure!
the best part is that the palestinians are being paid by israel to build israel !
while israelis work good jobs that help build the country, palestinians build houses for settlers.
everyone is happy and 30% of the west bank is already jewish, with more people moving into israel every day, and making more babies everyday, and abbas hasnt a clue and neither does hamas,
israel will continue to grow and flourish!
the chosen have returned and will populate every centimeter of historical israel.
the northern part of jordan was israel too, but we dont need that now.
the only people upset about it are silly leftists, who
were married to communism, arafat, stalinism, anti americanism
and now do not know which way to turn, and nazis who are racist haters, but jews have the guns this time.
come get some nazi punk assed bitch!

asma272727 (2012-12-27)

rajin is a 9 year old inbred hater who just got a slightly used commodore...
stupid pos jew haters, come and try to move us tough guy!
we have the guns, you keep blogging nazi, some other nazi will believe you!
