David Becomes Goliath is Volume II of Alan Hart’s epic work, ZIONISM, THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS. Itreveals the detailed and fully documented story, starting from 1948, of why the assertion that Israel haslived in constant danger of annihilation, the “driving into the sea” of its Jews, is Zionist propaganda nonsense. Inthe true story of what really happened after Israel unilaterally declared itself to be in existence, the Arab armiesdid not have the ability to defeat Israel’s forces and, despite some stupid Arab rhetoric to the contrary which wasa propaganda gift for Zionism, the Arab regimes had no intention of trying to destroy Israel.Here, too, is the riveting story of how Zionism, assisted by deluded British and French leaders and Americanhawks, conned the Western world into believing that Eygpt’s President Nasser was as an enemy of the Westwhen, actually, he was seeking an accommodation with Israel from almost his first days in power and wantedmore than anything else a relationship with America on equal terms with Israel.Hart takes us inside President Eisenhower’s struggle to contain Zionism, and President Kennedy’s unsuccessfulattempt to prevent the Zionist state acquiring an atom bomb (an acquisition still not admitted by either the USor Israel to this very day).Most importantly, Volume II records a turning point: the defeat of reason in Israel, and the despairing diary entryof Moshe Sharett (Israel’s foreign minister and briefly prime minister who was opposed to almost everythingBen-Gurion represented): “What is our vision on this earth—war to the end of generations and life by thesword?” In this extraordinary book, Alan Hart has succeeded in elucidating for us the immediate and long term dangers involved in the unconditional Western support for Zionism and its oppressive policies against the Palestinians. The author provides us with a chilling exposure of how this embrace developed and continues to endanger the Jewish existence and fuels the anti-Semitism that refuses to disappear. Motivated by a genuine concern for peace in Israel and Palestine and beyond in the world at large, Alan Hart has written not only a strong indictment of Zionism, based on both research and personal experience, but also provided us with a charter for a better future. --ILAN PAPPE Leading Israeli revisionist historican, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine "I hope that all who are concerned about the troubles of the Middle East will read this book. It is immensely readable and a magnificent piece of work which reflects Alan Hart s close relationship with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. We are in terrible trouble in the Middle East. The book explains how we got here and how we could move forward. The tragedy is hurting Palestinians, Israelis and the rest of the world. All who wish to engage in finding a way forward will be helped by reading this book." --CLARE SHORT, MP-UK and International Development Secretary in Tony Blair's government until her resignation over Iraq "Alan Hart's new books about Zionism and about the Israeli-Palestinian, Israeli- Arab, and now the Israeli-Muslim conflicts are, taken together, remarkably important and timely. His unique experiences and personal relationships make it possible for him to connect, and maybe even more notably to correct, the historical dots in a uniquely comprehensive way. Doing so as a seasoned journalist as well as a passionate advocate of true peace and real justice makes Hart's trilogy of books covering 1948 to the present nothing less than extraordinary. Taken together they represent a monumental accomplishment of epic proportions. If only responsible government officials around the world, especially in Washington, would read and ponder these books, take profound note of Hart's conclusions, and even at this very late date act before it is completely too late." --MARK BRUZONSKY MiddleEast.org, founder World Jewish Congress, first Washington Representative Alan Hart is a former BBC Panorama and ITN Middle East correspondent with a vast first-hand knowledge of the subject.
