A Leauki's Writings
Published on June 23, 2009 By Leauki In War on Terror

I support freedom and independence for all minorities in the Middle East including the Imazighen, the Fur and the other African tribes in Sudan, the Kurds, the Assyrians, and the Jews. I am a Phoenicianist and a Pharaonist, a supporter of the Darfurians and respectful of Aramaean, Chaldaean, and Assyrian culture.

I support the right of Christians to worship as they want in Muslim countries and the right of Muslims to worship as they want in Christian countries. I support the right of Muslims to pray in Jerusalem and the right of Jews to pray in Mecca, if they want to.

I suport equal rights for Arabs and Jews and Assyrians and everybody else, women, homosexuals, Christians, and Yezidis, everywhere.

I support gay pride parades in holy cities and equal rights for homosexuals and heterosexuals before the law.

I support democracy and freedom of speech and religion.

I support a Jewish state in Israel, an Aramaic state in Syria, a Kurdish state in Kurdistan, and Berber states in northern Africa and Arab states in Arabia. I support freedom for Somaliland and the African tribal regions of Sudan.

I oppose the death penalty and the mistreatment of foreign workers.

I believe that whites and blacks have the same value, that black Africans are not merely potential slaves and that white Arabs are not automatic masters.

So, yes, in other words, I am a Zionist.

I am what white supremacists, Arab nationalists, slave holders, and Islamic fundamentalists hate. And I am proud of it and I believe that I am right.

These are all things that most people in Israel believe in, that most people who consider themselves Zionists stand for. Some Zionists might disagree with one or two of these points, but all-in-all this is pretty consistent. Conversely those are the points that Israel's enemies disagree with. Some of them might still agree with a few of these points, but all-in-all this is again pretty consistent.

So take this as my attitude towards people who try to equate Zionism with racism or Nazi Germany or capitalism or communism, for some form of Jewish religious fundamentalism or Islamophobia, or for western imperialism or an artificial ideology.

I have prejudices.

If you are from the middle east and tell me that you hate Israel and support the Arabisation of Assyrians and Kurds in Iraq, I'll assume that you are probably homophobic too.

And if you are from the west and tell me that Israel resembles Nazi Germany, I'll assume that you are against the overthrowal of Saddam Hussein as well and that you never ever considered any part of the middle east to be anything but "Arab" and never demonstrated for the rights of middle-eastern ethnic or religious minorities, be they Berber or Christian or African or Jewish.

And when either of you speak of "refugees", I just know you don't mean Jewish such.

 

My policy is simple.

1. Bring up the concept of "land for peace" and I will want to know how much land Israel is going to receive in exchange for peace.

2. Bring up the concept of "illegal settlements" and I will want to know whether those rules should also affect Arab settlements in Israel or whether they are rules against Jews only. I will reject any anti-Semitic rules.

3. Bring up the refugee question and I will want to know how much each Jewish and Arab refugee is supposed to receive as compensation. There have been more Jewish than Arab refugees in this conflict. I support equal compensation for each individual.

4. And finally, bring up the question of annexation of land and occupation of Islamic holy cities and I will enthusiastically support any measure designed to convince the Saudis to withdraw from the Kingdom of Hejaz and the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina. I will want to address the holy cities in order of Islamic holiness.
