      • How did they colonize Palestine? The Story of Keren Hayesod: The Zionist Settlement Fund.

        by Elham Shamaly

        Land is the core of colonies case, except Palestine! For land here is the whole case. As the Zionist colonization differs from the normal colonization as the former is settler, evacuative and substitutive – its ultimate interest is looting land from its legal owners. It is not like other forms of colonization that come with soldiers and only go back to their original countries under the pressure of natives’ resistance, and that is all! Zionism was aware, since it was established about 125 years ago, of this obvious fact. So, it proceeded to planning and to creating financial, social and political institutions in order to seize the most possible area of Palestine land; for without it, the Zionism couldn’t establish its “national homeland”.    In the course of this planning, and this creating, Keren Hayesod was established, the fund that undertook the mission of providing money to seize the lands if Palestine and building colonies on them in any way and in all ages; from the Ottoman era to its successor (the British occupation) 1918-1948.    About Keren Hayesod and its plans and performance, Professor Elham Shamaly has devoted her MA thesis, and here it is in the form of a book. For that, Shamaly went on research, assiduously, in Zionist and English references without neglecting the reliable of the Arab references.

        The Jewish National Fund (JNF) and its Role in the Zionist Movement in Palestine (1901: 1948)

        by Ilham Shamaly (Dr.)

        The establishment of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) in 1901 has been a turning point in the history of the Zionist movement. It played a prominent role in serving the Zionist project, as it was the most important Zionist institution and the cornerstone of the Jewish national home project. This study - which is originally a PhD thesis discussed in Modern History major at Ain Shams University - sought to search for the role played by the JNF as a Zionist institution that emerged from the Zionist organization and played an important role in seizing the lands of Palestine from 1901 until 1948. Whereas through the Mandate Government's embrace of the Zionist project, it was able to seize parts of the land of Palestine and establish settlements on it to receive Zionist immigrants from all over the world. The JNF was provided with all the British procedures and legislations that paved the way for establishing the Zionist entity on the land of Palestine. The JNF launched the Zionist activity from the stage of Zionist ideas and visions to the stage of implementation and practical application of the principles that the Zionist movement called for including the occupation of land and work, which was  entirely applied and was the most important foundation that allowed it to tighten its control over the Palestinian land that it seizes. Those principles shown the real face of this usurping entity, which not only took the saying "a land without a people for a people without a land" as a slogan, but also worked to implement it in a racist and blatant manner, violating all religious, historical and legal rights of the Palestinian people in their land to cause a demographic imbalance in favor of the Zionist project. The Zionist propaganda carried out by the JNF among Jewish communities in the world countries had a significant role in allowing it continue its work. Donations, grants and financial loans arrived from Jewish governments, institutions and individuals who played an important role in covering its activities. Hence, Fund committees left no method of Collecting donations unless linked to the Torah to make Jews, wherever they are, donate to the JNF in application to religious beliefs that have been enshrined for some of them. Undoubtedly, the JNF worked to exploit its relations inside the United States to obtain significant financial support. The United States has been the largest donor to the JNF, which means that its role before 1948 was no less than the support that the Zionist project obtained from Britain. The JNF’s job has also been characterized by integration with the rest of the Zionist institutions within the Zionist organization. Zionist competition was to support immigration and settlement, regardless of the deep differences that were sidelined when it came to the common Zionist goal.
