The Broken Promise of a Promised Land by William Hanna

The Broken Promise of a Promised Land by William Hanna

Zionism . . . promotes the narrative that the Nazi holocaust is exceptional in human history - despite it being one of many holocausts from Native Americans North and South to Armenia and Rwanda. It sets Jews apart from the victims and survivors of other genocides instead of uniting us with them . . . Billions of US dollars flow annually to Israel to sustain the occupation and Israel's sophisticated and brutal army. The war machine they fund is a leader in the global arms industry, which drains resources craved by a world in desperate need of water, food, health care, housing and education.

- International Jewish anti-Zionist Network Charter

. . .Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. Zionism has meant profound trauma for generations, systematically separating Palestinians from their homes, land, and each other. Zionism, in practice, has resulted in massacres of Palestinian people, ancient villages and olive groves destroyed, families who live just a mile away from each other separated by checkpoints and walls, and children holding onto the keys of the homes from which their grandparents were forcibly exiled . . .

- Jewish Voice for Peace in its Approach to Zionism

What will be seared into the consciousness of the world will be the image of Israel as a blood-stained monster, ready at any moment to commit war crimes and not prepared to abide by any moral restraints . . .

- Uri Avnery, former Zionist Irgun paramilitary member

Having grown up and travelled in East Africa and the Middle East, London based freelance writer William Hanna had already witnessed the appalling inequity of colonialism wherein indigenous populations were economically marginalised, maligned, maltreated, and even massacred while European settlers occupied their lands and exploited their resources. While British, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and other colonial powers had been mainly concerned with subjugating indigenous populations, plundering their countries' resources, and then eventually recognising the necessity to grant them independence as occurred in Africa, the Jewish settlers had come to Palestine not just to simply colonise, but to ruthlessly replace the indigenous population. It was this cold, calculated, and cruel rapaciousness of Zionism's colonisation of Palestine that motivated Hanna to write about such barbaric ethnic cleansing by a people - who more than any other - should know better.
