The Zionist Plan for the Middle East
Translated and edited by Israel Shahak
from Oded Yinon's
"A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties"
The Association of Arab-American University Graduates finds
it compelling to inaugurate its new publication series,
Special Documents, with Oded Yinon's article which appeared
in Kivunim (Directions), the journal of the Department of
Information of the World Zionist Organization. Oded Yinon is
an Israeli journalist and was formerly attached to the
Foreign Ministry of Israel. To our knowledge, this document
is the most explicit, detailed and unambiguous statement to
date of the Zionist strategy in the Middle East.
Furthermore, it stands as an accurate representation of the
"vision" for the entire Middle East of the presently ruling
Zionist regime of Begin, Sharon and Eitan. Its importance,
hence, lies not in its historical value but in the nightmare
which it presents.
The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive,
Israel must 1) become an imperial regional power, and 2)
must effect the division of the whole area into small states
by the dissolution of all existing Arab states. Small here
will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each
state. Consequently, the Zionist hope is that
sectarian-based states become Israel's satellites and,
ironically, its source of moral legitimation.
