By Francis Boyle - Law Professor Illinois UniversityMay 25, 2011 "Information Clearing House" -- Israel’s Likudnik Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached into his bag of Zionist tricks and pulled out a brand-new demand that had never surfaced before in the history of the Middle East Peace Process going all the way back to their beginning with the negotiation of the original Camp David Accords conducted under the personal auspices of U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 1978: The Palestinians must recognize Israel as “the Jewish State.” Not surprisingly, the Zionist controlled and funded Obama administration publicly endorsed this latest roadblock to peace that was maliciously constructed by Israel.
Netanyahu deliberately shifted the goal-posts on the Palestinians. It would be as if the United States of America demanded that Iran recognize it as the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) State as a condition for negotiating and then concluding any comprehensive peace settlement with it. Of course such demands are racist and premeditated non-starters to begin with.
Netanyahu’s racist ultimatum would lead to the denationalization of the 1.5 million Palestinians who are already less than third-class citizens of Israel and set the stage for their mass expulsion to the Palestinian Bantustan envisioned by Netanyahu as the “final solution” to Zionism’s “demographic problem” created by the very existence of the Palestinians. This racist and genocidal demand would also illegally terminate the well-recognized Right of Return for five million Palestinian refugees living around the world as required by U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194(III) of 1948, by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 13(2) (1948), and by general principles of public international law, international humanitarian law, and human rights law. This would doom all prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians forever, and pave the way for the creation of “Greater Israel” dominating the entire former Mandate for Palestine, both of which objectives have been the intention of Netanyahu and Likud all along.
But if Netanyahu is really serious about Israel being recognized internationally as “the Jewish State” then there is a simple manner by which this universal diplomatic status can instantly be achieved unilaterally and without the consent of the Palestinians. Under basic principles of international law, every state is free to change its own name if it so desires: e.g., from Congo to Zaire then back to Congo. Therefore Israel is free to change its name to Jewistan -- the State of the Jews.
Thereafter every state in the world that has diplomatic relations and treaty relations with Israel will henceforth necessarily have to recognize it as Jewistan -- the State of Jews -- and deal with it as such by that name on a daily basis. The name of Jewistan would automatically replace the name of Israel in the United Nations System, at all other concerned international organizations, and on all bilateral and multilateral treaties to which Israel is currently a contracting party. Indeed, in the aftermath of its serial genocidal atrocities perpetrated against the Palestinians and the Lebanese, Israel has quite understandably been seeking to “re-brand” itself. Jewistan is Israel’s perfect new moniker.
In fact, Israel has never been anything but a Bantustan for Jews setup in the Middle East by the White racist and genocidal Western colonial imperial powers in order to serve as their racist attack dog and genocidal enforcer against the Arab and Muslim world. From the very moment of Western imperialism’s genocidal conception of Israel in 1947-1948, Israel has historically always functioned as Jewistan – the world’s Bantustan for the Jews. So Israel might as well finally change its name today to Jewistan, own up to its racist birthright, and make it official for the rest of the world to acknowledge.
Of course, all the Black Bantustans in racist criminal apartheid South Africa were eventually dismantled and no longer exist. The same will eventually happen to the racist criminal apartheid Jewish Bantustan in the Middle East no matter what name they call themselves. Actually, Jewistan/Israel is more closely analogous to the genocidal Yugoslavia that collapsed as a State, lost its U.N. membership, and no longer exists as a State for that precise reason.
In either event, when this Israeli Bantustan for Jews predictably collapses as a State, all the Palestinian refugees living in their Diaspora around the world will be able to return to their homes as guaranteed by Resolution 194. Such is the ultimate solution for securing the Palestinian Right of Return under International Law. In the meantime, the Palestinians should sign nothing with Jewistan/Israel and let this Bantustan for Jews collapse of its own racist and genocidal weight. Good riddance!

Zahir’s Response to Francis Boyle’s Jewistan – What Elephant?

This is a response to Dr. Francis Boyle’s missive titled Jewistan: Finally Recognizing Israel as the Jewish State published widely. I am going to home in to the core-point of contention directly, the rest being all very interesting dinner table conversation.
In my view, Jewistan, which I have always referred to as Zionistan, has something which neither the criminal apartheid South Africa nor the genocidal Yugoslavia enjoyed: the protection of an “iron wall” that none can breach, nor, evidently, even see.
Dr. Boyle’s statement “when this Israeli Bantustan for Jews predictably collapses as a State” is a wishful platitude riding high on moral-sense and moral-outrage rather than the calculus of power which creates both the international law, and the realities du jour. In such reality construction, neither moral-sense nor peoples, has ever had significant roles – for, were that not an empirical statement of truth, then The Ten Commandments which have been around for a fairly long time surely would have seen some enactment somewhere on planet earth.
The suzerainty of the masters of the universe upon that tiny slither of land can be hegemonized at the expense of the Palestinians for an indefinite period. Israel’s Likudnik Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is nothing but a foot soldier, an emissary, of those who wield the real power calculus from behind the scenes, and whose own construction is the UN. Ergo, UN 194 is merely the fig leaf it was always intended to be, like the Balfour Declaration‘s “it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine,” thrown in there for the real purpose which is stated in the fragment that follows: “or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.” Like “Thou Shall Not Kill”, the fig leaf was an un-implementable platitude – un-implementable because there was never any interest in actually implementing it – sold to the plebeian victims by the masters of the universe for indulging the commoners’ moral-sense and to help them nurse their fatal wounds on high-sounding placebos until fait accompli, rather than having them indulge in any acute intelligence or even political awareness that might transcend the visible puppetshows enacted for their distraction. Today, ex post facto, can a UN 194 equivalent be implemented for the Native American Indians? The settlement of Jewistan in this context closely resembles the settlement of the United States of America rather than the specious parallels drawn with Apartheid South Africa (never mind Yugoslavia).
Who are these omniscient masters of the universe then – and how do they acquire their phenomenal access into the highest corridors of imperial powers such that a former empire willingly grants them the ‘Balfour Declaration’; they host the peace conference after the blood-soaked World War 1 that dismantled all then existing empires in the world, in which they present that Balfour Declaration as the political instrument for Jewistan’s creation; its successor empire, the sole superpower du jour, using its own instrument of the UN subsequently grants them the Jewistan; and this new anomaly among nations can do murder by daylight and plunder by nightfall with such impunity that all the Christian heads of state of the entire Western world come out in support of them in that enterprise?
Watch Rebbe Meachem Schneerson explain from the Likutei Torah who these masters of the world are:
But how can mental asylum escapees who fanatically hold on to the ancient beliefs in their Rabbinical books of antiquity that “Since G-d and the Jews are one, each Jew becomes a True Being, and is thus able to bring about all of creation”, “that through the Jew, all beings were created, he therefore becomes the master over all of them”, and “thus every single creation owes them recognition for this good”, gain such unfettered access into the earthly corridors of world power as captured in these photographs:
unless they are also the vicegerents, emissaries, and ambassadors of a real global power so immense that it can throw an “iron wall” around the inflection of its muscles through its multifaceted frontmen, minions and craftsmen that none may breach?
Without these Western heads – now bobbing their own head in unison with the masters of the universe – being fully cognizant that these lunatics actually represented that immense power to whom they are themselves beholden to in order to get elected/appointed to the various offices of their nation, and having sipped with the devil to also staying alive, and therefore only doing their real masters’ bidding when they treasonously open up their own nation’s political, financial, intellectual, and military coffers to them, these mental asylum escapees would not progress an inch past the guardwall without being shot.
The matter is analogous to the power exuded by the East India Company representatives, always finding welcoming access into the courts of the formerly independent but then colonized mini-kingdoms of the Indo-subcontinent in the 17th-18th century with only a tiny contingent at hand. They were the Representative of a far great power from across the seas and if their emissaries were not smilingly given the due they demanded, the real power behind the East India Company would rumble. That great power from 20000 miles away afforded the East India Company with the protection of an “Iron Wall” which was entirely over-the-head of the natives of the Indo-subcontinent. Consequently, few among the colonized natives could comprehend it, never mind counter it, and in time most even came to see the white man as their own great benefactor of high-civilization and a new great-language.
In order to understand the uncanny power of Jewistan today, and as per my analysis penned elsewhere, its ability to outlast all its moral critics for an indefinitely long time until another power of greater force comes and dislodges it, one has to look for the real benefactors of Jewistan – from Basel Switzerland to New York to the City of London – who are endeavoring to create world government to be headquartered in a “Zion that will light up all the world”. The Jewistan can be made to last as long as world government. The Way Forward to the Re-Genesis of Palestine takes more than inevitability, or hope, virtue, and pious platitudes. Bad things can be made to last a very long time and there is no empiricism to suggest that they simply disappear by Pollyanish good wishes or by God’s will. It takes actual engineering, with mens et manus – mind and hand – to overcome abhorrence.
I am saddened once again that the opinion presented in the article by Francis Boyle sheds no light on the real power calculus behind Jewistan. It is, as if, Dr. Francis Boyle, the leading International law expert, like most of the rest of the world riding high on hope and platitudes, has an aversion to seeing the elephant shitting in the bedroom.
