The wretchedness and inevitable end of Zionism

How the Zionists perceive the world, how they look at themselves and at other people besides themselves and how they treat them, and what kind of justification these views and behaviours rest on, is understood better with each passing day. As it is understood, it is impossible for people not to feel astonishment and horror. The Zionists, who, because of the persecutions, pressures, exiles and holocausts they have been subjected to up to now, constantly took refuge in the conscience of humanity at large and begged understanding and compassion from it, have exhausted that conscience too and have stopped making it a sound refuge for themselves.

Humanity has no compassion left to show to Zionism, and this is precisely a sign that Zionism is drawing very near the end of the road it is rapidly travelling toward its own end. During the crimes against humanity they commit today, the Zionists are exhausting from their own account all of the understanding and compassion they withhold. When that moment comes, neither the United States nor the leaders of European countries will be able to form a safe harbour for them as they do today, and they will not find the leaders of the Islamic world, whom they have taken hostage in exchange for interests or through intimidation, in a position to help them either.

Have no doubt, we are moving rapidly toward those days. It will not be Jew-hating anti-Semites who destroy Israel; it will be its senseless, conscience-defying, history-defying arrogance and spoiled aggression that destroy it. For in the face of this immoderate arrogance and aggression, an anger and a revolt are inevitably growing. This anger and revolt are spreading in waves across the whole world, creating a common perception, awareness and feeling in everyone.

This does not arise out of nowhere; it is created, nourished and provoked by Israel itself. It is reaching such a point that no argument can be constructed to defend Israel by the standards of reason and conscience, and no person can be found, nor will be found, who will stand up for them in one way or another. The truth has come out as clear as day. Those who try to plaster the sun with mud will be disgraced. In fact, they are disgraced the moment they open their mouths, but in this context every sentence that can be constructed to try to justify Israel can only end in disappointment.

Just like the disgraceful situation Azra Kohen fell into while trying to stand up for Israel. Many people reacted with outrage, starting from how conscienceless and even how foolish Kohen's words were. From whatever side one looks, Kohen's words are a degradation that is hard to believe.

She is a mother, she lives in Turkey, her uncle is someone who sells extreme nationalism and Turkism in Turkey, who is active in politics in the Zafer Party, that racist and Turkist-broker party which has found its proper address, and the niece Kohen herself takes pride in being the niece of such a person. In her haste to make what Israel does look pleasant and reasonable, she attributes the responsibility for the children killed, torn to pieces and burned under Israeli bombardments to their being under the bombs. She says that their parents supposedly stood in front of them and filmed videos so that their children would be bombed, and so, far from being angry at Israel, she is angry at these children's parents, and so angry that she "feels like killing them with her bare hands." She is a dark soul who speaks of doing with her bare hands what Israeli bombs could not, who has pushed the limits of fantasy to this level of base spite and hatred. Of course, there is neither reason nor sense nor conscience in these words. And the one saying them is a mother, moreover. And an author whose books sell very, very well.

Of course, this senselessness and conscienceless is not only Kohen's matter; it is now the problem of Israel and Zionism. It also stems from the fact that Israel has no rational, conscientious and moral ground left on which it could be defended. It is the clearest view of the moral, conscientious and rational bankruptcy of Zionism. But the fact that Azra Kohen's books have sold so much, and that her uncle, who speaks with the same lack of reason, sense, conscience and morality, can make so much noise, is that not also, to some extent, Turkey's

serious security matter?

Over all those years, what snails, what pigs have been sold in the Muslim neighbourhood? Should we not make this our concern as well? Does it not give us some pause that none of those who sold Turkism at the level of racism to the people of Turkey, to Turkish children, were Turks? Should we not now see how and why Tekin Alp, who was himself a Kohen, whose real name was Moiz Kohen, practised Turkism for years while hiding his real name? It was certainly not because they were in love with the Turks. Should we not now see that these circles, whose Turkism is in essence hostility to Arabs, are giving the most cunning and greatest support to Zionism?

For the Zionists the Arab is the Palestinian, and he in turn is the resister lined up against their throat in the lands they have occupied. He is the enemy who must be eliminated, discredited and isolated. How can the rationale of Turkey's support for Palestine be watered down? Whatever needed to be done for that was done by these very hands. That the Arabs stabbed us in the back, that the Palestinians sold their lands, that these Arabs never managed to unite anyway, and so on. Meanwhile, the distances that have come between Arabs and Turks, with the English, the Americans, the French infiltrating and settling upon all their wealth. We, however, keep consoling ourselves with the national arrogance and pride that the enemies of Turks and Islam have implanted in us. We fail to see that the brave men fighting in Gaza for Palestine are defending Turkey's own border, and we call them terrorists, exactly as the Zionists who are preparing step by step to occupy our country want.

Azra Kohen's words do not only show her own vulgarity and lack of reason; they also show the wretchedness of Zionism. Let no one be deceived by the fact that Zionism today has material power and support. Since the reason and sense that would defend it have fallen into this wretchedness, all that can be seen from here is inevitable defeat. It is an ownerlessness with no one to claim it, in which whatever it takes refuge behind will itself give it away. But not through anyone's counter-racism, or even through the anti-Semitic feelings that they have exploited to the hilt until now, but by its own hand, as the most just consequence of what it itself has done...
