We Don't Specifically *Want* To Genocide Jews From Palestine - We Just Want Nobody To Interfere If We *Do*
By Marwan Shibli, Palestinian activist

man smoking hookaGaza City, June 19 - Too much misunderstanding and willful distortion of the Palestinian position pervade the rhetoric surrounding the issue, to the point that many people wrongly assume we aim to kill every Jew between the River and the Sea, along with whoever gets in the way. In fact we plan no such set of operations once we remove the colonialist pig-dog usurper invader Jews from our land - rather, in the eventuality that we do conduct such operations, we insist that everyone stay out of the way.

A casual reading of our statements and literature might convey the incorrect impression that, upon achieving the longed-for liberation of our land, we will continue the same treatment of Jews that we have demonstrated for a hundred years. Such an attitude ignores the fact that we will be sovereign, not under the - sometimes nominal - boot of Israel, the British, the Ottomans, or whoever. That means we will enjoy the power to choose our own method of dealing with the Jews, unencumbered by occupiers' preventive policies. Of course genocide will be on the table - but the point is not that we intend specifically to round up the Jews, plunder their property, rape the women and girls, and yeah, the men and boys too, all while we beat, stab, shoot, what have you; we just want the *power* that represents, to play the oppressor instead of the victim. The specifics of whom we victimize and how are less important.

For this reason and others, we Palestinians sometimes object to comparisons between our movement and Nazis. Yes, our leadership allied with Hitler during the Second World War; yes, Nazis trained our fighters; yes, we fought the immigration of Jews fleeing extermination at the hand of the Nazis; yes, we fly the Nazi swastika and openly admire Hitler and his goals. None of those points, however, get at the true kernel: it's not so much the desire to destroy every Jew while subject them all to fear and pain; it's more that it's the best way we can feel the power and control we feel we deserve, especially once we could no longer lord it over the lowly dhimmi Jew no matter how low we ourselves fell in society.

Our aim isn't genocide of the Jews per se, in other words. We just want you to stay out of our way when we end up doing just that.
