Zionist regime in occupied Palestine maybe isolated and despised by the majority of Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities around the world – but it has always managed to find friends among the western countries based on their common Islamophobia state of mind. The latest addition to Israeli collection is Spanish prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who will be visiting Israel on October 14, 2009 to meet the Zionazi Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) prime minister of Zionist entity and its FM Avigdor Lieberman. It’s Zapatero’s second visit to the Zionist entity within one year. The main item on their menu would be how to stop Tehran acquiring nuclear technology by agreeing with Bibi’s demand that UNSC must put new crippling sanctions against Islamic regime in Tehran.

In 2004 – The defeat of Spanish ZOG government headed by Jose Maria Aznar (1996-2004) sent a great shocked to the Zionist world just as Hamas victory did in 2006. Zapatero government’s criticism of Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2006, Zapatero’s appearance at an anti-Israel rally wearing a Kaffiyeh, his ME peace proposal, which did not meet Zionists’ expansionist agenda and his meeting with Hizbollah – were some of Zapatero’s actions which put ice on Madrid-Tel Aviv relations. Former Zionist prime minister Ehud Olmert’s response to Zapatero’s peace proposal was: “He doesn’t understand anything about the Middle East”.

When Spanish foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos tried to remove Hamas from the EU terrorist list – the Zionist FrontPage magazine published Dr. Rachel Ehrefeld’s anti-Muslim rant on January 2, 2006 issue – warning Spain, Sicily, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean island that Muslims are conspiring to recapture their former colonies.

However, the ice started breaking up since under EU’s ZOG pressure – Spanish foreign minister agreed to abandon his independent foreign policy statements and promised to consult his EU allies before making such statements behind Israeli back. After Bibi’s victory in the last election – the old friendship between Moratinos and Bibi came handy. They had cultivated this old friendship when Moratinos was EU envoy in Israel. Moratinos also has been praised by Israel and Jewish Lobby groups in the West for his actions to protect from prosecution of the six senior Israelis who were involved in the 2002 assassination of the chief of military arm of Hamas in Gazzah, Salah Shehadeh. Recently, Moratinos’s Israeli ratings got another booster when he expressed his “regrets” for Spanish newspaper El Mundo intentions to publish an interview with British Holocaust revionist Dr. David Irving to mark the WW II anniversary. The Zionist thugs showed their usual double standard when it come to the Freedom of Speech.

On March 11, 2004 – three days before Spanish elections – in order to pave the way for the re-election of the unpopular Spanish ZOG prime minister Jose Maria Aznar – Mossad carried out the false flag bombing operation in Madrid by targetting four commuter trains killing 191 people and injuring 2050. It was Israel’s response to the million Spaniards who protested in Madrid streets against US invasion of Iraq, conceived by Israel Lobby.

In March 1992 – after 500 years – King Carlos of Spain apologized to Eastern Jews on behalf of his ancestors, King Phillip and Queen Isabel for the Jewish Holocaust in which the entire Jewish population (500,000) of Muslim Spain was either killed or forced to convert to Christianity. On the other hand, King Carlos still refuses to apologize to Muslims for the Muslim Holocaust as result of which 4-5 million Muslims perished during the same time period.

Zionists’ actions have destroyed the Muslim-Jewish friendly relations which existed during the time Muslims ruled Spain (711-1492). Professor Maria Rosa Menocal in her book, The Ornament of the World, wrote: “The new Islamic polity not only allowed Jews and Christians to survive but, following Qur’anic mandate, by and large, protected them, and both the Jewish and Christian communities in al-Andalus became thoroughly Arabized within relatively few years’ of Abd al-Rehman’s arrival in Cordoba. In principle, all Islamic polities were (and are) required by Qur’anic injunction to tolerate Christians and Jews living in their midst. Here the Jewish community rose from the ashes of an abysmal existence under the Visigoths to the point that the Emir who proclaimed himself Caliph in the 10th century had a Jew as his foreign minister”.

Under the rule of Visigoths, Jews in Spain were at the lowest end of social and political spectrum. The great majority of them were forced to work as Serfs (slaves) on the Church-owned agricultural land and orchards. With the arrival of Islam, they automatically got elevated to the covenanted ‘People of the Book’, which granted them religious freedom and ability to participate freely in all aspects of civic life.

The “Golden Age of Jews” in Muslim North Africa and Southern Spain existed between 9th to the 13th century. During Abd al-Rehman and his son Al-Hakim, there were 50 Jewish scholars, historians, philologists, grammarians, religious philosophers, mathematicians, doctors and poets – who served in the royal court. Abraham bar Chiyva (known as Abraham Savasorda in the West) was a Jewish writer from Muslim Spain who introduced the scientific method of the Greeks and the Arabs into Europe in the 12th century.

“Let it be known to you, my Lord, that our land is called Sefarad in the Holy Tongue, while the Ishmalite citizens call it al-Andalus, and the kingdom is called Cordoba,” wrote Prince Hasdai ibn Shaprut, the Jew Grand Vazier (prime minister) under Caliph Abd al-Rehman III (912-961 CE).

Samuel Ibn Nagrila (b. 993 CE), a prosperous Jewish merchant – was appointed Vazier of Sultanate of Grenada – the city which was known in Arabic as “Gharnatat al-Yahud (Grenada of the Jews)”.

Allan C. Brownfeld of the American Council for Judaism wrote in 2006: “For Jews and Muslims, in particular, the review of history should be encouraging. On a recent visit to Andalusia – Cordoba, Seville, and Grenada among other places – I observed the many remaining reminders of the Golden Age of Muslim-Jewish cooperation and amity. They serve to illustrate the lack of historic understanding of those who present the current impasses over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the latest in long history of strife and conflict. the real story is far different – and far more hopeful. It might provide us with a genuine road map for the future.”

Professor Steven R. Feldman in his recent article titled A Jewish American’s Evolving View of Israel wrote:

“We defeated the Arab armies against all odds. It was a miracle. Yet Israel remained under constant threat from Muslims who wanted to slaughter Jews. Arabs started wars to annihilate Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. The evil Arabs would terrorize or kill innocents, something Jews never did. We were proud of our commitment to every Jewish life, in contrast to the Arab’s disregard for life. This was evident as we would kill 20 Arabs for every one of us that was killed and we would trade 100 Arab prisoners to recover just one of ours — even a dead one. Our morality was never in doubt. Having American and Jewish values, we were always empathetic to the suffering of the Palestinian refugees. If Muslims had been as caring as we were, Arab countries would have taken the Palestinian refugees in.

My understanding of that story evolved. As a way to expand my horizons, I took an audio course on world religions. The course described Islam as a religion of peace, similar to the Judaism I grew up with. That was very different than what I was taught of Islam — which admittedly was very, very little — in an American Hebrew School. Could this peaceful vision of Islam be reconciled with the violence we Jews saw? On a visit to Israel, I wondered if the Arabs might have a different perspective of the conflict than the one I was taught. Perhaps they saw Israel and the West’s support of Israel as a continuation of the Crusades, an attempt by the West to wrest control of holy land from Muslims.

It is time for the vestiges of the discrimination and horror of the 1940s to end. It is time for Palestinian refugee families to be allowed and encouraged to return and rebuild their homes and lives. This will give the Jews the peace they have always wanted, a peace they could never achieve through expulsions and killings that left Jewish philosopher Martin Buber feeling as though the Jews had learned how to behave from Nazis. It’s time for Americans to give up the notion of supporting a state built for people of one religion at the expense of people of another and to support the American ideal of diverse people living together in equality with justice and peace. This is the Zionism of Martin Buber, a spiritual Zionism of Jews, Christians and Muslims living together in peace. While I am happy and proud of the idea of a Jewish state, the idea of a Jewish state created at the expense of the homes and lives of 700,000 Palestinian men, women and children is inconsistent with my Jewish American values.
