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chosen them to replace the outdated European colonialism with a new  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?
