Israel is not a Jewish Choice

After the French Revolution and the hostility it had among European Royal Families Napoleon came to power in France and he thought about uniting Europe under a French crown. The European dream faced two major obstacles and threats. The first threat was clear for him. The Russian Empire as a superpower can take Europe under the Russian crown or influence. The other was not clear at all but Napoleon as a strategist and history reader knew that crusade wars were between European armies united under the Vatican authority and the Egyptian army. Egypt was under the Ottoman occupation but strategists always think in a ‘what if?’ manner. Thinking about possible threats led him a certain question; to what if Egypt could expel Ottoman occupation and decided to retake its historical lands that Qotoz and Papurs the Memmluks, and Salah El-Din had reached. A major powerful Empire would be born south to Europe separating it from its occupied countries in Asia and Africa. That Empire would be a superpower and it would have more influence that Europeans had in these lands; being an Eastern Empire that share them many things more than the Europeans. He decided to conquer Egypt and to study its people, history and every stone forming its geography. That’s is why he brought the scientific mission with him and they studied Egypt. When Champleon discovered the Rosetta stone and could decipher and interpret the Hieroglyphic language they knew that Ramses, Ahmos and Tohotmus annexed the Levant also. It was clear for him that if Egypt was independent it would expand and annex the Levant and Sudan and it would be a great Empire. He lost wars in Russia and withdrew from Egypt and France could not achieve its dream but he defined the two threats facing Europe if it would be a united major power to create a unipolar system. The dream of the unipolar system never left the minds of the western thinkers and strategists. The medeaval European history showed many slaughters against the Jews. He thought about getting rid of the Jews and creating a chronic threat and enemy for Egypt. The idea of Israel was born.

As the Napoleon campaign introduced some modernization to Egypt the Egyptians knew that the Ottoman Empire set them ages behind the civilization. Mohamed Ali Pasha took power and within few years Egypt was fighting to retake the lands of the Empire. Britain made an international alliance to abort the Egyptian Imperial dream. The British believed in Napoleon theory and they decided to use the Jewish file.

Step by step they promoted the idea of a Jewish state in several areas of the world and forced the Zionist council to refuse any of the proposed lands until Palestine was chosen. Belford promise was issued and the British government portrayed the case as a divine Jewish right although some Jewish religious sectors refused the idea because they believe that it should be created by their Jesus.

In summary any western superpower seeking to form a unipolar system whether it is Great Britain, United Europe or the USA will define three enemies, Russia in the North, China in the East and Egypt in the South. This clears why the West supports Israel and the case is not about Palestinians. They use the Palestinians also. The case is that Israel guards their Southern front and forms annoyance to Egypt.
