The
Model for Iraq was Ireland, 1692
Divide
and Conquer as Imperial Rules
By
CONN HALLINAN
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh's
recent revelations that the Israeli government is encouraging
Kurdish separatism in Iraq, Iran, and Syria should ring a bell
for anyone who has followed the long history of English imperial
ambitions.
It is no surprise that the
Israelis should be using the tactic of "divide and conquer,"
the cornerstone policy of an empire that dominated virtually
every continent on the globe save South America. The Jewish population
of British-controlled Palestine was, after all, victim to exactly
the same kind of ethnic manipulation that the Sharon government
is presently attempting in Northern Iraq.
Following the absorption of
the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the British set about shoring
up their rule by the tried and true strategy of pitting ethnic
group against ethnic group, tribe against tribe, and religion
against religion. When British Foreign Secretary Arthur James
Balfour issued his famous 1917 Declaration guaranteeing a "homeland"
for the Jewish people in Palestine, he was less concerned with
righting a two thousand year old wrong than creating divisions
that would serve growing British interests in the Middle East.
Sir Ronald Storrs, the first
Governor of Jerusalem, certainly had no illusions about what
a "Jewish homeland" in Palestine meant for the British
Empire: "It will form for England," he said, "a
little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism."
Storrs' analogy was no accident.
Ireland was where the English invented the tactic of divide and
conquer, and where the devastating effectiveness of using foreign
settlers to drive a wedge between the colonial rulers and the
colonized made it a template for worldwide imperial rule.
Divide and
Conquer Revisited
Ariel Sharon and former Prime
Minister Menachem Begin normally take credit for creating the
"facts on the ground" policies that have poured more
than 420,000 settlers into the Occupied Territories. But they
were simply copying Charles I, the English King, who in 1609
forcibly removed the O'Neill and O'Donnell clans from the north
of Ireland, moved in 20,000 English and Scottish Protestants,
and founded the Plantation of Ulster.
The "removal" was
never really meant to cleanse Ulster of the Irish. Native labor
was essential to the Plantation's success and within 15 years
more than 4,000 native Irish tenants and their families were
back in Ulster. But they lived in a land divided into religious
castes, with the Protestant invaders on top and the Catholic
natives on the bottom.
Protestants were awarded the
"Ulster privilege" which gave them special access to
land and lower rents, and also served to divide them from the
native Catholics. The "Ulster Privilege" is not dissimilar
to the kind of "privilege" Israeli settlers enjoy in
the Territories today, where their mortgages are cheap, their
taxes lower and their education subsidized.
The Protestant privileges were
a constant sore point with the native Irish; although in fact,
most Protestants were little better off than their Catholic neighbors.
Rents were uniformly onerous, regardless of religion.
Indeed, there were numerous
cases where Protestants and Catholics united to protest exorbitant
rents, but in virtually every case, the authorities successfully
used religion and privilege to split such alliances. The Orange
Order, the organization most responsible for sectarian politics
in the North today, was originally formed in 1795 to break a
Catholic-Protestant rent strike.
Ireland
as Imperial Laboratory
The parallels between Israel
and Ireland are almost eerie, unless one remembers that the latter
was the laboratory for British colonialism. As in Ulster, Israeli
settlers in the Occupied Territories have special privileges
that divide them from Palestinians (and other Israelis as well).
As in Ireland, Israeli settlers rely on the military to protect
them from the "natives." And as in Northern Ireland,
there are political organizations, like the National Religious
Party and the Moledet Party, which whip up sectarian hatred,
and keep the population divided. The latter two parties both
advocate the forcible transfer of all Arabs_Palestinians and
Israelis alike_to Jordan and Egypt.
Prior to the Ulster experiment,
the English had tried any number of schemes to tame the restive
Irish and build a wall between conqueror and conquered. One set
of laws, the 1367 Statutes of Kilkenny, forbade "gossiping"
with the natives. All of them failed. Then the English hit on
the idea of using ethnicity, religion, and privilege to construct
a society with built-in divisions.
It worked like a charm.
The divisions were finally
codified in the Penal Laws of 1692, divisions that still play
themselves out in the mean streets of Belfast and Londonderry.
Besides denying Catholics any civil rights (and removing those
rights from Protestants who intermarried with them), the Laws
blocked Catholics from signing contracts, becoming lawyers, or
hiring more than two apprentices. In essence, they insured that
Catholics would remain poor, powerless, and locked out of the
modern world.
The laws were, in the words
of the great English jurist Edmund Burke, "A machine of
wide and elaborate contrivance and as well fitted for the oppression,
impoverishment and degradation of a people as ever proceeded
from the perverted ingenuity of man."
Once the English hit on the
tactic of using ethnic and religious differences to divide a
population, the conquest of Ireland became a reality. Within
250 years, that formula would be transported to India, Africa,
and the Middle East.
Sometimes populations were
splintered by religions, as with Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims in
India. Sometimes societies were divided by tribes, as with the
Ibos and Hausa in Nigeria. Sometimes, as in Ireland, foreign
ethnic groups were imported and used as a buffer between the
colonial authorities and the colonized. That is how large numbers
of East Indians ended up in Kenya, South Africa, British Guyana,
and Uganda.
It was "divide and conquer"
that made it possible for an insignificant island in the north
of Europe to rule the world. Division and chaos, tribal, religious
and ethnic hatred, were the secret to empire. Guns and artillery
were always in the background in case things went awry, but in
fact, it rarely came to that.
It would appear the Israelis
have paid close attention to English colonial policy because
their policies in the Occupied Territories bear a distressing
resemblance to Ireland under the Penal Laws
The Israeli Knesset recently
prevented Palestinians married to Arab Israelis from acquiring
citizenship, a page lifted almost directly from the 1692 laws.
Israeli human rights activist Yael Stein called the action "racist,"
and Knesset member Zeeva Galon said it denied "the fundamental
right of Arab Israelis to start families." Even the U.S.
is uncomfortable with the legislation. "The new law,"
said U.S. State Department spokesman Phillip Reeker, "singles
out one group for different treatment than others."
Which, of course, was the whole
point.
Imperial
Blowback
As the penal laws impoverished
the Irish, so do Israeli policies impoverish the Palestinians
and keep them an underdeveloped pool of cheap labor. According
to the United Nations, unemployment in the West Bank and Gaza
is over 50 percent, and Palestinians are among the poorest people
on the planet.
Any efforts by the Palestinians
to build their own independent economic base are smothered by
a network of walls, settler-exclusive roads and checkpoints.
It is little different than British imperial policy in India,
which systematically dismantled the Indian textile industry so
that English cloth could clothe the sub-continent without competition.
Divide and conquer was 19th
and early 20th century colonialism's single most successful tactic
of domination. It was also a disaster, one which still echoes
in civil wars and regional tensions across the globe. This latter
lesson does not appear to be one the Israelis have paid much
attention to. As a system of rule, division and privilege may
work in the short run, but over time it engenders nothing but
hatred. These polices, according to Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon, foment
"terror," adding, "In tactical decisions, we are
operating contrary to our strategic interests."
The policy also creates divisions
among Israelis. Empires benefit only a few, and always at the
expense of the majority. While the Sharon government spends $1.4
billion a year holding on to the territories, 27 percent of Israeli
children are officially designated "poor," social services
have been cut, and the economy is in shambles.
By playing the Kurds against
Syria and Iran, the Israelis may end up triggering a Turkish
invasion of Kurdish Iraq, touching off a war that could engulf
the entire region. That Israel would emerge from such a conflict
unscathed is illusion.
Divide and conquer fails in
the long run, but only after it inflicts stupendous damage, engendering
hatreds that still convulse countries like Nigeria, India and
Ireland. In the end it will fail to serve even the interests
of the power that uses it. England kept Ireland divided for 800
years, but in the end, it lost.
The Israelis would do well
to remember the Irish poet Patrick Pearse's eulogy over the grave
of the old Fenian revolutionary, Jeremian "Rossa" O'Donovan:
"I say to my people's masters, beware. Beware of the thing
that is coming. Beware of the risen people who shall take what
yea would not give."
