An Allegory
Voiding the Palestinians
By M. SHAHID ALAM
"Palestine belongs to the Arabs
in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France
to the French."
Gandhi [1]
"Palestine will be as Jewish
as England is English."
Chaim Weizman [2]
On October 29, 2003, a leading Israeli daily,
Ha'aretz, reported a rape-murder that occurred more than
fifty years ago at Nirim, an Israeli military outpost in the
Negev. The victim was a Palestinian girl, in her early or mid-teens,
or younger; the perpetrators of this crime were members of the
Israeli Defense Force.[3] Six days later, The Guardian
also reported this crime, but US papers did not think this was
news that is fit for print.[4] In the United States, the media
prefers to shield Israel from adverse notice.
What is the significance of a single
rape-murder in the long and tortuous history of the dispossession
of one people by another? No dispossession ever makes a pretty
picture. Moreover, the dispossession of Palestinians is no ordinary
dispossession. It is not ordinary because it involved the complete
voiding of one people by another: Palestine had to be
emptied of its ancient Palestinian population to make room for
Jews. It is not ordinary because much of this emptying was telescoped
within a few short months (in 1948) rather than over centuries
or decades. It was not ordinary because the people doing the
voiding had themselves been voided from their spaces in Europe,
a people with brilliant accomplishments, voided from the spaces
they had helped to enrich. It is not ordinary because the voiding,
the violence it demanded, had been carefully planned, orchestrated,
justified, explained, excused, and, after it's success, celebrated
and glorified in Israeli and Western media.
What is the significance of a single
rape-murder--I ask again--in the midst of the voiding of Palestine
implemented through the deceit of declarations and the farce
of international laws; through repeated wars and grinding repressions;
through the backing of great powers and support of the world's
organized Jewry; through ethnic cleansings, orchestrated massacres
and obliterated villages; through bombings of cinder block apartments,
hospitals, schools and workshops; through armed settlements built
on hilltops; through house demolitions, curfews, sieges, trenches,
and bypass roads dividing communities; through a million daily
humiliations at a thousand checkpoints; and now through a gargantuan
wall, coiling, advancing, ominous, that dreams of squeezing the
last drop of blood from beleaguered Palestinian communities in
the West Bank?
Perhaps this single rape-murder is
significant. The voiding of a people necessarily involves suffering
on a monumental scale. The Zionists built their Jewish state
by destroying the lives of millions of Palestinians over three
generations. The scale of this suffering has been documented
in reports, in statistics of villages destroyed, houses demolished,
and men, women and children evicted from their homes, robbed,
incarcerated, bombed, shot at, tortured, killed. However, statistics
do not tell stories; they will not grip the reader with the pain
of the victims. As the Holocaust reveals its hellish intent in
images and artifacts, so the narrative of Palestinian voiding
must be conveyed in images, metaphors and allegories, each of
which contains in miniature, in essence, the great pain that
the Palestinians have endured for more than eighty years.
We must read the Ha'aretz disclosure
of the rape-murder in the Negev as an allegory of the fate decreed
by the god-like Zionists for an inferior Arab population. Read
with understanding, the report reveals the darkness at the heart
of the Zionist project, its racism, its moral obtuseness, its
blindness to the irony of the grave injustice the Zionists intended
to do to the Palestinians. The rape-murder of a nameless Palestinian
girl--most likely a minor--by IDF soldiers graphically conveys
the unequal contest between the Zionists and Palestinians, as
the Zionists sought to void the Palestinians so that they could
resurrect a Jewish state that had been dead for some eighteen
hundred years.
The only written record of the rape-murder,
before the Ha'aretz report, is to be found in the diary
of David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel. He made
a terse but telling entry about this episode. "It was decided
and carried out: they washed her, cut her hair, raped her and
killed her."[5] Ben-Gurion could be describing a military
operation, efficiently completed, according to plan, without
hesitation, and without any loss of time. His verbs are active
verbs: they speak of strong men, determined men, confident of
their power to decide, to execute, to wash, to cut, rape and
kill. The decisiveness, the finality of their actions is awe-inspiring.
On the morning of August 12, 1949, the
Platoon Commander at the Nirim outpost in the Negev, Second Lieutenant
Moshe, organized a patrol with six soldiers. During their patrol,
they shot and killed a Palestinian after he threw down
his rifle and was running away. Later, they captured two unarmed
Arab men with a girl. The men were driven away with shots fired
over their heads, but the girl was taken back to the outpost
at Nirim. The patrol had decided that she was "fuckable."
On their way back to the outpost, the patrol shot and killed
six camels, leaving them to rot.
At the outpost, while Moshe was away
on another patrol, the Platoon Sergeant, Michael prepared the
girl for rape. He removed her traditional garments, forced her
to stand under a water pipe, and washed her with his own hands,
while everyone watched. The washing done, he dressed her in a
jersey and shorts, and took her back to a hut where he raped
her. When the girl complained to Moshe about the rape, he ordered
his men to wash her--again--"so that she would be clean
for fucking." The soldiers cut the girl's hair, washed her
head with kerosene, placed her under the water pipe, and sent
her back to the hut in jersey and shorts. She was now clean.
Later the same day, the soldiers at the
Nirim outpost gathered in a large tent for the festivities of
Sabbath eve. The Platoon Commander, Moshe, inaugurated the Sabbath
by blessing the wine, a soldier read from the Bible, after which
there was singing, eating, drinking, jokes and fun. Before the
party ended, Moshe asked his men to decide the Palestinian captive's
fate with a vote. They had two options: the captive could work
in the kitchen; or they could have her. The girl's fate was decided
democratically. The soldiers chanted, "We want a fuck."
Commander Moshe carried out the will of the majority.
He and his sergeant went in first, leaving the girl unconscious.
The next morning, when the Palestinian
girl protested, the Platoon Commander threatened to kill her.
And, indeed, later, he ordered Sergeant Michael to execute the
girl. They stripped her before execution; a soldier wanted his
shorts back. The Sergeant, accompanied by a medic and two soldiers,
took the girl out in the desert and shot her in the head as she
ran. Overcome by pity, just in case she was alive and in pain,
a soldier pumped a few more bullets into the girl's body. Washed
clean, her hair cut, raped repeatedly, the Palestinian
captive now lay dead in a shallow grave.
Second Lieutenant Moshe drove down to
Be'er Sheva later that same evening to watch a movie. At the
theatre, he met his Battalion Commander, Major Yehuda Drexler,
who had ordered that the Palestinian captive be taken back to
where she had been found. When the Major asked his subordinate
if he had done so, Moshe replied: "They killed her, it was
a shame to waste the gas." A Palestinian's life is not worth
a gallon or half of gas.
When Captain Uri, the Company Commander,
asked Second Lieutenant Moshe to explain what had happened to
the Palestinian girl, this is what he wrote in his report:
"In my patrol on 12.8.49 I encountered
Arabs in the territory under my command, one of them armed. I
killed the armed Arab on the spot and took his weapon. I took
the Arab female captive. On the first night the soldiers abused
her and the next day I saw fit to remove her from the world
(emphasis added)."
That was all. It was dismissive in its
terseness, as if to say it would be a waste of our time discussing
the rape-murder of a Palestinian. However, if you insist on a
report, here it is: We found an Arab girl, raped her, and "I
saw fit to remove her from the world."
It is that last phrase that is so haunting,
imperial, Biblical, even divine. It sums up the ethos of a whole
age, an imperial age that took pride in its superior race and
its civilizing mission. An age in which various Europeans nations
"saw fit" to conquer, colonize, enslave, exterminate,
displace, 'liberate' or 'educate' the rest of humanity, anyone
different from them in color or religion. No matter what injury
the Europeans inflicted on the natives, it had to be good for
them. Nothing but goodness could flow from such superior beings.
Zionism and its fruit, Israel, are but late flowerings of that
Imperial age.
At the trial for this rape-murder, which
was held in secret the same year, Second Lieutenant Moshe denied
raping the girl. "Morally speaking," he argued, "it
was impossible to sleep with such a dirty girl." Most likely,
he knew that this was an argument that would carry weight. It
is a basic premise of the civilizing mission. "The native
is always dirty, his clothes filthy, his manners crude."
There is an added twist here. "It isn't raping an Arab girl
that would have been immoral, but that she was dirty." The
Court acquitted Moshe of rape, though he received a sentence
of 15 years for murder.
Moshe offered a second defense. He told
the Court repeatedly that Captain Uri, one of the Company Commanders
in the battalion, had told him in private that when it came to
the Arabs, he should engage in "killing, slaughter."
The Court rejected this charge with its own psychoanalysis. The
Judges wrote: "The court believes that the words "killing,
slaughter" originate in a psychosis that seems to have taken
root in the officer's blood, to the effect that Arabs were to
be massacred indiscriminately." The Court chose not to cross-examine
Captain Uri on this point.
Sergeant Michael pleaded that he was
merely following orders when he executed the girl. The judges
rejected his plea, but passed a "very light" sentence
of five years in prison because of extenuating circumstances.
"At the time there was a general feeling of contempt
for the life of Arabs in general and infiltrators in particular,
and sometimes wanton events occurred in this sphere. All this
helped to create an atmosphere of 'anything goes.' We are convinced
that this atmosphere existed at the Nirim outpost too (emphases
added)." The judges at the Nuremberg trial too could have
urged the same extenuating circumstance when passing sentences
on Nazi criminals. After all, the Nazis too operated in a general
climate of deep hatred against Jews, a hatred that had been bred
for close to two thousand years. Thankfully, the judges at Nuremberg
did not use this argument.
In addition, when Moshe accused Captain
Uri of urging "killing, slaughter" against Arabs, the
judges dismissed this is as the invention of a psychotic mind.
Yet, in arguing for a reduced sentence, they use the argument
that there existed at the time "a general feeling of contempt
for the life of Arabs in general." Were the judges at the
murder-rape trial of the Palestinian girl schizophrenic? Or,
were they only protecting their own kind?
Those who are familiar with the tragedy
of Palestinian dispossession will have read--as I have--in the
events of August 12 and 13, 1949, at the Nirim military outpost
in the Negev, an allegory of that dispossession. In two days,
this nameless girl, a minor, was made to suffer the degradation,
shame, abuse, rape and, eventually, death, which has been the
fate--figuratively, and, in many cases, concretely--of the Palestinians
and their homeland for more than eighty years. We observe several
striking parallels between the two gory narratives. We see it
in the girl's capture by a platoon of soldiers; in the Commander's
decision to decide her fate by a vote; in the question about
the girl's fate that is put to vote (use her as a slave worker
or sex slave); in stripping the girl of her traditional garments,
washing her, cutting her hair; raping her, the officers going
in first; in the order for her execution when she protests; in
the secret trial held; in the officer's language ("I saw
fit "); in the acquittal from rape charges; in the light
sentences; and in the judges' use of extenuating circumstances.
And now the parallels are being pushed
towards a final convergence--in the final obliteration of the
national existence of Palestinians--with the building of the
strangulating wall; with levels of unemployment among Palestinians
reaching 70 percent; with malnutrition among Palestinian children
reaching famine levels; with the acceleration in the pace of
ethnic cleansing; the unashamed American backing for the war-criminal,
Ariel Sharon's extreme right-wing policies; and growing demands
for a final round of ethnic cleansing to rid historical Palestine
of all Palestinians. At least, that is the intent of the Neoconservatives,
Christian Zionists and Israel's right-wing Likudniks. It is an
intent that all right-thinking people--including right-thinking
Americans and Israelis -- must oppose before the American-Israeli
warmongers, with their fingers on nuclear buttons, push the world
over the precipice.
