Brief:<\/strong><\/p>

The author argues that the Zionist movement depends on stealing the land of the Palestinians. The Zionist movement has stolen lands to drive Palestinian peasants off their land. However, the author argues that the Palestinian elite also failed to stop the Israeli theft of their land. The author observes that when the Zionists started colonizing Palestine, they had a model in their minds: the German model. The German model indicates the plan of moving about 40000 German families to the Polish-Majority provinces. Arthur Ruppin, a German Jew and Posen-born, had witnessed and experienced the German model of colonizing Poland. Ruppin headed The Palestine Bureau of the Zionist Organization (ZO), which played a role in the Zionist colonization of Palestine. The author details how the Zionists continue with their theft of Palestinians\u2019 lands through false purchases and illegal confiscations, and that the Palestinian elites\u2019 efforts are \u201ctoo little, too late.\u201d Thus, the resistance of the Palestinians is the best means to prevent this colonization.\u00a0<\/p>
