Zionist Logic -- Malcolm X on Zionism
Malcolm X (Omowale Malcolm X Shabazz)

Taken from The Egyptian Gazette -- Sept. 17, 1964

The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient 
Jewish prophets predicted that in the "last days of this world" their 
own God would raise them up a "messiah" who would lead them to their 
promised land, and they would set up their own "divine" government in 
this newly-gained land, this "divine" government would enable them to 
"rule all other nations with a rod of iron."

If the Israeli Zionists believe their present occupation of Arab 
Palestine is the fulfillment of predictions made by their Jewish 
prophets, then they also religiously believe that Israel must fulfill 
its "divine" mission to rule all other nations with a rod of irons, 
which only means a different form of iron-like rule, more firmly 
entrenched even, than that of the former European Colonial Powers.

These Israeli Zionists religiously believe their Jewish God has 
chosen them to replace the outdated European colonialism with a new 
form of colonialism, so well disguised that it will enable them to 
deceive the African masses into submitting willingly to their 
"divine" authority and guidance, without the African masses being 
aware that they are still colonized.

CAMOUFLAGE

The Israeli Zionists are convinced they have successfully camouflaged 
their new kind of colonialism. Their colonialism appears to be more 
"benevolent," more "philanthropic," a system with which they rule 
simply by getting their potential victims to accept their friendly 
offers of economic "aid," and other tempting gifts, that they dangle 
in front of the newly-independent African nations, whose economies 
are experiencing great difficulties. During the 19th century, when 
the masses here in Africa were largely illiterate it was easy for 
European imperialists to rule them with "force and fear," but in this 
present era of enlightenment the African masses are awakening, and it 
is impossible to hold them in check now with the antiquated methods 
of the 19th century.

The imperialists, therefore, have been compelled to devise new 
methods. Since they can no longer force or frighten the masses into 
submission, they must devise modern methods that will enable them to 
manouevre the African masses into willing submission.

The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is "dollarism." The 
Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come 
posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms 
of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power 
and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly "independent" 
African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of 
the 18th century European colonialists... and this new kind of 
Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in 
motive or objective.

At the close of the 19th century when European imperialists wisely 
foresaw that the awakening masses of Africa would not submit to their 
old method of ruling through force and fears, these ever-scheming 
imperialists had to create a "new weapon," and to find a "new base" 
for that weapon.

DOLLARISM

The number one weapon of 20th century imperialism is zionist 
dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist 
Israel. The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel 
where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and 
sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the 
Africans against the Asians.

Zionist Israel's occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab 
world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it 
impossible for these newly independent Arab nations to concentrate on 
strengthening the economies of their countries and elevate the living 
standard of their people.

And the continued low standard of living in the Arab world has been 
skillfully used by the Zionist propagandists to make it appear to the 
Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically 
qualified to lift the living standard of their people ... thus, 
indirectly "enducing" Africans to turn away from the Arabs and 
towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance.

"They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as 
fast as they."

The imperialists always make themselves look good, but it is only 
because they are competing against economically crippled newly 
independent countries whose economies are actually crippled by the 
Zionist-capitalist conspiracy. They can't stand against fair 
competition, thus they dread Gamal Abdul Nasser's call for 
African-Arab Unity under Socialism.

MESSIAH?

If the "religious" claim of the Zionists is true that they were to be 
led to the promised land by their messiah, and Israel's present 
occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of that prophesy: 
where is their messiah whom their prophets said would get the credit 
for leading them there? It was Ralph Bunche who "negotiated" the 
Zionists into possession of Occupied Palestine! Is Ralph Bunche the 
messiah of Zionism? If Ralph Bunche is not their messiah, and their 
messsiah has not yet come, then what are they doing in Palestine 
ahead of their messiah?

Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab 
Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all 
Arab property for themselves just based on the "religious" claim that 
their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand 
years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of 
today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, 
drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation 
... where Spain used to be, as the European zionists have done to our 
Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?...

In short the Zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation 
of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history ... 
not even in their own religion. Where is their Messiah?
