A very interesting article i found about zionism. Its basicly an article about a zionist plan to divide Arab states into small units (as the title
states) its written from an arab view.
In 1982 the Hebrew-language magazine Kivunim (Directions), the official organ of the World Zionist Organization published an important article
entitled, "A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties". The Editor of Kivunim is Yoram Beck, Head of Publications, Department of Information, of
the World Zionist Organization. Also on the Editorial Committee of Kivunim is Amnon Hadary, a member of the Palmach during the 1948 atrocities.
Israel Shahak, professor of organic chemistry at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and chairman of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights
translated the article into English and wrote athe following foreword to it. It was published in 1982 as a pamphlet by the Association of
Arab-American University graduates. Professor Shahak states:

The following essay represents, in my opinion, the accurate and detailed plan of the present Zionist regime for the Middle East which is based on the
division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states. I will comment on the military aspect of this plan
in a concluding note. Here I want to draw the attention of the readers to several important points:
1 . The idea that all the Arab states should be broken down, by Israel, into small units, occurs again and again in Israeli strategic thinking. For
example, Ze'ev Schiff, the military correspondent of Ha'aretz (and probably the most knowledgeable in Israel, on this topic) writes about the îbestî
that can happen for Israeli interests in Iraq : "The dissolution of Iraq into a Shi'ite state, a Sunni state and the separation of the Kurdish
part" (Ha'aretz, 2/6/1982). Actually this aspect of the plan is very old.
2. The strong connection with neo-Conservative thought in the USA is very prominent, especially in the author's notes. But, while lip service is paid
to the idea of the îdefense of the Westî from Soviet power, the real aim of the author, and of the present Israeli establishment is clear: To make an
imperial Israel into a world power. In other words, the aim of Sharon is to deceive the Americans after be has deceived all the rest.
3. It is obvious that much of the relevant data, both in the notes and in the text, is garbled or omitted, such as the financial help of the US to
Israel. Much of it is pure fantasy.
But, the plan is not to be regarded as not influential or as not capable of realization for a short time. The plan follows faithfully the geopolitical
ideas current in Germany of 1890-1933, which were swallowed whole by Hitler and the Nazi movement, and determined their aims for East Europe. Those
aims, especially the division of the existing states, were carried out in 1939-1941, and only an alliance on the global scale prevented their
consolidation for a period of time.
