Palestine Hijacked: How Zionism Forged An Apartheid State From River to Sea By Thomas Suárez
A Review
Much has been written in the alternative press over the past year about the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians and its other war crimes in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc. This has often been viewed within the historical context of the self-declared Zionist Israeli state’s founding in 1948 up to the present day. But far less has been said about the Zionist’s racial-nationalist-settler-colonialist movement’s history of terrorism to seize Palestine and kill and drive the Palestinians into exile that goes back for more than a century
For those who think Donald Trump’s recent announcement that the United States will take over Gaza and force the besieged Palestinians to leave their country is shocking, the history presented by Thomas Suárez will disabuse them of that notion. The Zionist Trump is stating baldly the ultimate goal of the ethnic cleansing of all non-Jews from Palestine, which has been the Zionists’ goal from the beginning and lies behind Biden, who considers himself a Zionist, and Trump’s recent support for Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
When questioned why he supported the Zionist leaders’ efforts to drive the Palestinians from their land, Winston Churchill, in 1937, replied, “I do not admit the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger, even though he may have lain there for a very long time.”
As Suárez, a London-based historical researcher, former West Bank resident, violinist, and composer, writes, “He denied that ‘a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the Black people of Australia’ by their replacement with ‘a higher grade race’.” This higher grade race rhetoric is racism, pure and simple, and it has been applied to the Palestinians by the Zionists from the start. Dogs, vermin, etc. Hitler would be proud.
It is nothing new. Ethnic supremacy and a pure Jewish state have always been the goal, even as the Zionists used Nazi rhetoric and tactics that they allegedly abhorred while working with the Nazis to get German Jews into Palestine but nowhere else. What became known as The Haavara Transfer Agreement is proof of that.
In January 1933 when Hitler came to power as German Chancellor, there were international calls for a boycott of German goods and services, supported by prominent Jews and Christians. The boycott caused a severe blow to the Reich’s economy. But an agreement with Hitler was arranged by Zionists to circumvent the boycott and provide Germany with needed capital, with Hitler allowing German Jews with sufficient wealth to emigrate to Palestine in return for their purchase of German goods and equipment, a quid pro quo arrangement that provided Germany with a propaganda win by claiming the boycott-breaking deal was made by Jews. Four years later, Adolph Eichmann, on a trip to Palestine, was involved in a follow-up effort with the Zionist terrorist militia, the Haganah, and its representative Feival Pokes, for the Nazis to pressure German Jewish groups to urge Jews to go only to Palestine and no other countries.
The irony of Churchill’s racist statement is that the Zionists, despite the UK’s Balfour Declaration of 1917 declaring its support for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,” turned on their British accomplices, who were in Palestine as “administrators” under a League of Nations mandate following WW I, with a savage terrorist campaign to drive the British out. This gave the Zionists a narrative propaganda myth that they have exploited to the present day that they were the victims of occupation in their own land, while it was the Zionists who, through terrorism, were driving the Palestinians from the land that was theirs for a very long time.
Treachery of this nature defines the history of all those arrayed against the Palestinians from the start – as today, with Trump being no exception.
Suárez makes it clear that the “Palestinians also committed terror attacks, and this book’s focus on Zionist and Israeli terror must never be misinterpreted as excusing Palestinian violence against innocents,” but the “Palestinian terror occurred principally during the uprisings of the late 1920s and late 1930 after years of being institutionally discriminated against and killed for the benefit of the Zionists, and after non-violent resistance – diplomacy, entreaties, strikes, boycotts – proved futile.” His focus in this book, therefore, is to document and offer a comprehensive and structural analysis of the decades-long terror campaign the Zionist racial-nationalist settler movement used to obliterate the “inferior” Arabs who were “dogs in the manger.”
The Zionists’ twin terror campaigns against the Palestinians and the British forced the British to withdraw in 1948. They then turned their full attention to exterminating the Palestinians, which resulted in the what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba – the purging of nearly a million Palestinians from their land and the destruction of more than five hundred of their villages – (what Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann, the first president of Israel, called “a miraculous simplification of our task” ). It was then that the siege of Gaza began, not as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his accomplices claim began after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack.
As Suárez writes, “The siege of Gaza began in 1948, fifty-eight years before the 2006 election of Hamas, which Israeli now uses to justify it. It served then the same purpose it serves today: to block people of the wrong ethnicity from returning home.”
From its start, the Zionist settler project was rooted in a fanatical messianism marketed as the myth of these modern Jewish settlers simply sailing back to the Hebrew land of the Bible after a 2,000 year absence, a land that belonged to them even though they had never lived there. They were just returning to their sovereign home, decreed by God, and those Palestinians living there, no matter for how long, were usurpers who had to be driven from their homes, killed, or forced into exile. The branding of the Jewish state “Israel,” a name entrenched in the messianic Jewish and Christian culture of the West, was crucial since it called up all the nostalgia for the Holy Land of yore and all the images of one’s “true” homecoming. This was crucial to get Christian support in the West.
Palestine Hijacked (2022) is a book of deeply documented historical research (686 detailed endnotes) that tears the mask off the narrative that paints Zionism as a benign force. Through assiduous archival research in poorly accessed and newly declassified archives of the Central Intelligence Agency, the British National Archives, the Library of Congress, the Zionist Organization of America, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, etc., Suárez uses original source documents to hoist the well-known Zionist leaders with their own petards, often in their own words, words never meant to see the light of day. Chaim Weizmann. Theodore Herzl, David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, Moshe Sharett are exposed as liars, and the latter three as ruthless terrorists, with the former three in complete accord with their terror tactics. The same is shown to be true for those Western leaders who supported the terrorist seizure of Palestine by a Zionist racial-nationalist settler movement that had zero legal or moral right to the land, as they still do not.
Suárez sets the scene early on page 14:
Through the decades to come [from the early days of Zionism], from mainstream leaders like David Ben-Gurion and Chaim Weizmann to the fanatical terror gang Lehi, the ideological pronouncements of the settler project were couched in the language of messianism. Zionism was building the final Kingdom, the Biblical Third Temple, a resurrection rising from the ashes of the fabled Second Temple and Solomon’s Temple. Zionism’s battles, its enemies, its conquests, its tragedies, were Biblical, and its establishment of the Israeli state in 1948 was sold as the resumption, the reconstitution, of the Biblical realm. As Ben-Gurion put it, “the Bible is our mandate” to take Palestine.
[my emphasis above]
Again, as with Trump’s pronouncement, the old is new and the new, old; thus today we have American conservative Christian evangelicals’ (Christian Zionists) passionate support for Netanyahu’s war crimes, justified and blessed by the Biblical canard that lives on in the propagandistic narrative promoted by Israel and the corporate media.
It’s all here in Suárez’s chronicle. Not just details about the rather well-known Zionist terror attacks such as the bombing of The King David Hotel that could be turned into Zionist propaganda, but all the years of the slaughters of Palestinians, old and young, men and women and children in small villages and markets, in homes and on the roads and in the fields, done without mercy and carried out with a Biblical gleefulness by fanatics doing their “God’s will.” It chills the soul to read the details of such genocide’s long history.
Suárez writes:
The King David bombing endures as the iconic terror attack of the Mandate years, and history books falsely cite it as the most deadly. The 1940 bombing of the Patria [an immigrant ship] bombing was three times deadlier, killing about 267 people, and the two atrocities are identical in the claim that only infrastructure, not people, were the targets.
Of the attacks in which the killing was the acknowledged purpose, at least one of the Irgun’s bombing [the Irgun, the Lehi, and the Haganah were the Zionist’s three main terror groups] of Palestinian markets killed more (July 6, 1980, about 120), and the Zionist armies coming slaughter of villages such as Deir Yassin – still during the Mandate – would also kill more people than the King David attack.
If you wish to understand the terrorist nature of today’s Israeli government, you need to read this book.
If you think the recent Israeli use of exploding pagers has no history, learn about the Zionist use of exploding leaflets long ago.
If you think critics’ use of the term Nazi to describe the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians is over-the-top, learn about the history of Zionist collaborations with Hitler and the Italian fascist Mussolini.
If you think the Israel designs and attacks on Lebanon and Syria are something new, think again.
If you are shocked by the question: Does Israel have a right to exist?, discover the illegal and immoral nature of its claims to that right. Then ask yourself to answer.
If you are afraid to learn these things for fear of being called antisemitic, learn how the Zionist founders of Israel weaponized that term long ago, against fellow Jews and anyone else who dared question their legitimacy, and how their progenitors and the U.S. government that supports them now stand rightly condemned as supporters of genocide.
If you think Zionism and Judaism are synonymous, you have swallowed a package of lies wrapped as a treacherous gift; for Jews with a conscience know that the Zionist project is a terrible stain on their name.
Thomas Suárez has written a brave and great book. He should have the last word:
The reason Israel holds millions of human beings under various levels of apartheid, the reason it keeps millions more languishing in refuge camps, is not that they are Palestinians, not that they are Arab.
It is rather, strictly, because they are not Jewish. If they were Jewish, whether Palestinian or Arab or anything else, they would be welcomed and given a generous subsidy to move in from whatever part of the world they live and take over a house whose owner was expelled because s/he is not Jewish.
Nothing in the history of Zionism, of the Israeli state, or the so-called conflict can be understood divorced from this.

Does it have some function that no other mineral has? Will it cure deceases? Make it rain? Stop the rain? Slow the wind? Fertilize the garden? Why was it so sot after as far back as we can discover? What does it do besides being shiny? There must be some underlying reason somewhere in the mists of time that allowed it to rise to such prominence.

The USAID funding to NGO’s to “combat child trafficking” was in actual fact funding the international child trafficking network itself, because it is the NGO’s who are doing the trafficking and providing both logistics and legal cover, diplomatic and media cover for it all.
Long story short, the Government of the United States is the biggest human trafficking operation that the world has ever NOT seen (because the same U.S. government manages all of the cover-up, too)
The sex trafficking part of it also provides the blackmail material that keeps the collaborators under control (and continuing to provide money, cover and cooperation, assuring that no one talks, and no one ever goes to jail.

Inevitable And Unforeseen https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/inevitable-and-unforeseen
Surplus Energy Economics, The Arc Of Inevitability: AGENCY, VISIBILITY & CHAINED CAUSALITY
Whenever some economic crisis or challenge arises, finance ministers, central bankers and officials are expected to respond, choosing appropriate policies from a wide selection of possibilities.
We might, of course, later conclude that these choices were mistaken. Decision-makers are also open to accusations of favouring some interest-groups over others.
But the existence of agency itself – of the ability to make largely unfettered policy choices – is seldom called into question.
There are, though, plenty of reasons to wonder about how much agency actually exists, and a strong possibility that the economy follows its own “arc of inevitability”.
If this turned out to be the case, it would overturn a whole series of assumptions about the art of the possible, and provide unsuspected visibility about the future course of events.
Instead of demanding economic ‘fixes’ from governments, we – and they – could start planning on the basis of a very largely foreseeable trajectory of economic and financial development…
..We cannot control material systems in the same way that we can control money. We can loan money into existence through the banking system, and central bankers can conjure it, ex nihilo, out of the ether. But we cannot similarly create material resources such as energy, minerals, productive agricultural land and water.
As agency is re-thought in a downwards direction, so the importance of material systems outside our control will gain ever greater significance in our interpretations.
This opens up the very real possibility that economic trends and outcomes are determined by a material sequence of causation which we have little or no ability to influence.
My term for this is the arc of inevitability.
If this is indeed the case, it’s unreasonable to expect leadership to steer the economy in desired directions. If, for example, an arc of inevitability is pushing British material prosperity in a downwards direction, neither chancellor (finance minister) Rachel Reeves – nor anybody else – can do anything much about it.
There is, moreover, a compensatory process involved here. What we lose in agency, we gain in predictability. We can cease asking ourselves which leadership contenders have the best plans for changing directions, and start examining the forward implications of a knowable trajectory.
The basic premise of the arc of inevitability is that each event contains, within itself, the causation of the next trend or occurrence. On this basis, we can visualize outcomes, not as discrete, self-contained happenings, but as beads strung along a central thread of tendency. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2025/02/10/299-the-arc-of-inevitability/

Frances Leader: DOGE COIN HAS SOME INTERESTING HISTORY! [And an elegant palace, too.]
The Doge is the senior member of the Venetian Black Nobility – an exceedingly powerful individual who is voted into office by representatives of the world criminal syndicates. The office of Doge dates back to medieval times!!
Once Head of State of Byzantine origin whose military features were already present in the title – doge derives from the Latin dux, military commander –, the doge became in Venice the official representative of the Serenissima in the eyes of the world.
“Monsignor the Doge”, as he was called in public documents, was the symbol and incarnation of Venetian power, the protagonist of solemn public ceremonies, receptions and feasts. His real power, however, was limited and controlled by the Venetian merchant aristocracy, while his person was under the constant supervision of the ducal councillors because, despite being the ‘Most Serene Prince’, he was and remained the first servant of the Republic, to all intents and purposes.
Resorting to a perfect and straightforward synthesis, the doge was called Princeps in solemnitatibus, in curia senator, in urbe captivus, extra urbe reus in Latin, which translates to: Prince in solemnities, senator in the senate, prisoner within the city, guilty outside the city. https://francesleader.substack.com/p/doge-coin-has-some-interesting-historyCatherine Austin Fitts argues that Trump & Musk are instituting tyrannical digital technocracy.: Trump Administration: Digital Control Grid Coming Together at High Speed https://solarireport.substack.com/p/trump-administration-digital-control

He’s not actually holding Israel back, is he? Trump threatens to ‘let hell break out’ in Gaza
US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the release of all remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza by midday Saturday, and warning that failure to comply would result in “all hell” breaking out.
On Monday, Hamas threatened to halt the release of additional hostages, accusing Israel of violating the terms of the fragile ceasefire agreement by preventing displaced Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza, restricting the delivery of humanitarian aid, and delaying negotiations for the second phase of the deal. https://swentr.site/news/612488-trump-gaza-hell-break-out/Israel Backs Trump’s Unleash Hell Plan For Gaza If Hostages Aren’t Freed By Saturday https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-backs-trumps-unleash-hell-plan-gaza-if-hostages-arent-freed-saturday
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said in a statement on Monday that the number of Palestinians Israel has displaced in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of its ongoing offensive has reached 40,000.
Dubbed “Operation Iron Wall,” the ongoing Israeli military invasion overtook the northern West Bank in mid-January, leading to the forcible displacement of thousands of residents. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/02/israel-has-displaced-40000-palestinians-in-the-west-bank-unrwa-says/ Israeli army expands shooting orders for soldiers to kill Palestinians in West Bank: Report

Netanyahu has made it clear he wants to redraw the region’s map, and the IDF’s refusal to withdraw backs up that intent
If Israel chooses to stay inside Lebanese territory, for whatever reason, it will only be a matter of time before action is taken. The next round will also likely be much more bloody, and the death toll will make the conflict last year seem relatively insignificant in comparison. This may not happen in the immediate future and could even take over a year, but the conflict is far from over and that is because there isn’t really a ceasefire in effect as of now.
On November 27, Israel made a point of not only violating it from the first moments and later advancing further into southern Lebanon, it committed hundreds of violations of the ceasefire. Israel has made it very clear that the new reality is that it has full freedom of action and can remain inside pockets of southern Lebanon for as long as it chooses. Therefore, there will have to be a war to ensure that a real ceasefire is reached and Lebanese territory will not be open season for the Israeli military to bomb, shoot at, and kidnap civilians.
Netanyahu is now bragging about changing the map of the surrounding region, while his new army chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, recently declared “2025 will continue to be a year of combat.” Israel is acting aggressively, expanding its borders, and does not appear to be backing down from its warmongering with Iran, which will lead to even greater chaos. https://www.rt.com/news/612465-war-between-israel-lebanon-inevitable/O’Keeffe’s girl is irresistible for the “dry-dick-guys” in important positions.

Gilbert Doctorow, Waiting for the Munich Security Conference to Open: What ‘peace plan’ is Team Trump bringing?
All of the optimism coming from the Trump camp that it holds the high cards in relations with Russia flies in the face of the statements made yesterday afternoon by Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov that relations with the USA “are at the breaking point.” The war will end, said Ryabkov, only when the conditions set down by Vladimir Putin in June 2023 are satisfied. These conditions include the withdrawal of all Ukrainian military forces from the 4 Eastern Ukrainian regions that have been formally integrated into the Russian Federation, disavowal by Kiev on its hopes to enter the NATO alliance together with acceptance of neutral status without the presence of any foreign military personnel or installations on its territory. Let us remember that Ryabkov is the same official who announced in December 2021 Russia’s ultimatum to the USA calling for return of NATO to its borders of 1997, that is to say, before the multiple expansion waves that took in the former Warsaw Pact countries and the Baltic States.
Yesterday, Ryabkov also said that there are no prospects presently for successful discussions with the United States about limitations on medium range ground-based missiles or other items on the agenda in regulating strategic stability. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/02/11/waiting-for-the-munich-security-conference-to-open-what-peace-plan-is-team-trump-bringing/ Russia treated US ‘very nicely’ – Trump

Fogel also expressed gratitude, calling Putin “very generous” and “statesman-like” in allowing him to return home after spending more than three years in prison on drug trafficking charges.
At the time of his arrest Fogel was a teacher at an elite Anglo-American school in Moscow, but he had previously worked at the US Embassy in Russia. He lost his diplomatic immunity in May 2021. In August of that year, he was detained at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow after the authorities found marijuana and hashish oil in his possession. He was later sentenced to 14 years in prison. https://swentr.site/russia/612542-russia-fogel-treated-nicely-trump/ Russian Crypto Kingpin Freed By US In Marc Fogel Swap
