Zionism (A Jewish Perspective)
"I
see America as a guy and Israel as his dick. When the dick makes up its mind,
the guy will always go along."
"Zionism is by
far the primary reason for the resurgence of Jewish anti-Semitism in the world
today."
Zionism represents itself as a political
movement concerned principally with the establishment of a state in
Palestine to be controlled by and for Jews. It began
in the late 19th Century and attained its stated objective with the creation
in 1948 of the state of Israel by the United Nations (at the insistence of
the United States and without the agreement of existing Middle Eastern
states). Subsequently Israel doubled the amount of territory it controlled
by means of its illegal occupation of the West Bank in the 1967 and 1973
wars.
 In its current form Zionism seeks to dominate all of Palestine and the
Middle East by means of violence and the threat of violence (using weapons
manufactured and purchased with billions of dollars of "aid" supplied by the
United States at taxpayer expense) and to maximize its influence in world
affairs and in world history, principally by means of control of the
government of the USA (primarily by blackmailing its many corrupt
politicians), at the expense of the social wellbeing not only of the
Palestinians but of the peoples of all lands.
Zionists claim that Jews have the right to possess all land between the
Nile and the Euphrates because (they say) this land was given to them by
some entity they call "YHWH" as claimed in the Old Testament (Genesis
15:18). But this would not be the first time that documents written by
humans were used to justify land grabs. (And this "YHWH" appears, from
accounts in the Old Testament, to be a particularly repulsive entity, vain,
jealous, given to fits of rage and directing his followers to massacre
civilian populations an entity who, if he existed, would be quite unworthy
of the devotion of anyone with a sense of justice and morality.)
Zionists also lay claim to Palestine because this was territory
controlled by two Jewish mini-states, Judah and Samaria, until their
destruction by the Romans in the 1st C. CE. To which may be replied: If
Zionist claims to a Jewish "homeland" in Palestine, based on Jewish
occupation of that area 2000 years ago, are accepted as valid then the
claims of North American Indians to their former homeland (all of the United
States) and the claims of Australian Aborigines to their former homeland
(all of Australia) should also be accepted as valid, and those homelands
returned. Not to mention the descendants of the inhabitants of countless
mini-states which have risen and fallen over the course of thousands of
years of human history. Jews have no more rights than anyone else.
Zionists are not content with having acquired a state of their own in
Palestine, they also want this state to be for-Jews-only, thus the desire
and intention to expel from Israeli-controlled territory all the indigenous
inhabitants (a practice sometimes known as ethnic cleansing, a
concept derived from the Nazi practice of "cleansing" areas of all Jews so
that those areas are then Judenrein).
The
idea of transfer had accompanied the Zionist movement from its very
beginnings, first appearing in Theodore Herzl's diary. In practice, the
Zionists began executing a mini-transfer from the time they began
purchasing the land and evacuating the Arab tenants.... "Disappearing" the
Arabs lay at the heart of the Zionist dream, and was also a necessary
condition of its existence.... With few exceptions, none of the Zionists
disputed the desirability of forced transfer or its morality.
Tom Segev, One Palestine, Complete : Jews and Arabs under the British
Mandate, quoted at
http://www.thornwalker.com/ditch/snieg_conc1.htm
The Palestinians, being Arabs, are Semites. By their open contempt for,
and racist persecution of, the Palestinians the Israelis show that it is
they who are the real anti-Semites, and their accusations of anti-Semitism
(and the accusations of their American and European coreligionists) cast at
all who criticize Jews or Israel amount to no more than blatant hypocrisy.
Zionism and Judaism
Zionism should not be equated with Judaism. The contemptible treatment of
the Palestinians by the Israeli government is supported and approved of by
most Israeli Jews but not by all Jews. There are some Jews who are totally
opposed to Zionism and to Israel's policies in the occupied territories of
the West Bank. Here are three websites which express this position:
Zionism is ... racist, it is nationalist, and it is Biblically inspired
(rather than spiritually inspired). Being a fundamentalist movement,
Zionism is not categorically different from Nazism. Only when we
understand Zionism in its nationalist and racist context will we begin to
comprehend the depth of its atrocities. Gilad Atzmon:

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism
Zionists are experts at propaganda, disinformation, denying facts and
outright lying. Any criticism of Zionism or of Israel is labeled as "anti-semitism",
where this is interpreted to mean "anti-Jewish". This is a slanderous
falsehood. Criticism of Zionism is criticism of a particularly ugly
political movement, not criticism of a religion or of the adherents of a
religion. One may be critical of Zionism and of Zionists while at the same
time being quite tolerant of, or well-disposed toward, or even an adherent
of, the Jewish religion (as we see from the websites cited above).
Whether one approves of or dislikes the beliefs and practices of Judaism
it remains that Jews have a right to hold those beliefs and maintain those
practices. No-one, however, Jewish or non-Jewish, has a right to drive out
people from their homes on land where they and their forebears have been
living for centuries, to deprive people of their human rights, to cripple
their society and to damage the welfare of others by a parasitic subversion
of the government of another country for base political purposes, which is
what Zionists have done and continue to do.

West Bank and Gaza Strip by Israel, its use of extrajudicial executions
against Palestinian gunmen, the Israeli gunning down of schoolboy
stone-throwers, the wholesale theft of Arab land to build homes for
Jews, is in some way wrong?

John Kaminski:
Heads They Win, Tails We Lose
As many
observers have written recently, an anti-Semite used to mean someone who
hated Jews because they were Jews. Now, the term anti-Semite is used by
Jews to tar and feather anyone who disagrees with Jewish policies,
influences, and effects. Complain about Israelis burying alive
Palestinian residents of Jenin and Jews say you're an anti-Semite.
Wonder about the preponderance of Jewish influence on the American
government and you're an anti-Semite.

Jakob Schiller:
UC Hate Debate as Complex as Mideast Conflict
But many
associated with groups that have been linked to claims of anti-Semitism
said that, contrary to the claims, their groups are working to combat
anti-Semitism and all forms of racism on campus, but have been targeted
because of their Pro-Palestinian political agenda. Claims of
anti-Semitism, they said, are a quick and easy way to try to sway the
political debate by students who construe any sort of political
criticism of Israel as criticism of Jews. ...
When political protests claim Israel does not have a right to exist
as a state for Jewish people, Gladstone [the Israel initiatives
coordinator for Berkeley Hillel, the Jewish student center at UC
Berkeley] said he would classify that as anti-Semitism. He said he would
also classify claims that Israel is an apartheid state as anti-Semitic
because he said those claims de-legitimize Israel as a state.
|
Here's a clear case of criticism of the state of Israel being classified
as "anti-Semitism". It's a cheap trick and should never be allowed to pass
without refutation. Israel has as much right to exist as you have to give
your neighbor's house to your relatives and force your neighbour to live in
the street, but to assert this is not to cast aspersion upon Jews. Israel is
an apartheid state because of the way the Israeli government (with the
support of most Israelis) treats Arabs within its borders as second-class
citizens and because of its attempts to destroy Palestinian society in the
occupied territories so as to rid the land of Arabs and make it suitable for
Israeli annexation, but to suggest this is not to make any criticism of
Jews, but rather, of Israelis and they richly deserve it.

Ken Livingstone:
This is about Israel, not Anti-semitism
For 20
years Israeli governments have attempted to portray anyone who
forcefully criticises the policies of Israel as anti-semitic. The truth
is the opposite: the same universal human values that recognise the
Holocaust as the greatest racist crime of the 20th century require
condemnation of the policies of successive Israeli governments not on
the absurd grounds that they are Nazi or equivalent to the Holocaust,
but because ethnic cleansing, discrimination and terror are immoral.

Zionism as Racism
A principal component of Zionism is racism, in the form of the belief
held by Zionists that Jews constitute a race (or ethnic group or however
they see themselves) superior to all others, and in particular to those, the
Palestinians, who lived on the land that the Zionists stole from them in
1948 (under the pretext of the land having been given to them by the United
Nations) and subsequently.

More
water is given to Jewish citizens than to Palestinians; jobs are more
plentiful for Jewish citizens than Israeli Palestinians; Jewish citizens
are not subjected to torture while in prison; only Israeli citizens and
illegal Jewish settlers drive with yellow license plates, which allow
them freedom to travel throughout the Holy Land; non-Jewish Israelis
cannot buy or lease land in Israel; Israel's policies have involved
planning regulations prohibiting Palestinian building on 40 percent of
Gaza, 70 percent of the West Bank and 80 percent of East Jerusalem.
While restricting Palestinian development, Israel builds housing for its
people in the occupied territories.

Elias Davidsson:
Memorandum on institutionalized racial discrimination by and in the State
of Israel
Zionism
rejects the idea of a modern secular state, based on equality of all
citizens. Zionism predicates a state where Jews have privileged rights.
Thus, according to Israeli law, a person born in London, who has never
visited Israel, does not speak Hebrew and professes atheism, is granted
automatic Israeli citizenship, if he can produce proof from a rabbi that
his mother was considered a Jew, while indigenous Palestinian
inhabitants who were born to Christian or Muslim parents are at best
tolerated but never considered as full fledged partners in Israeli
society. Racial discrimination, as defined in international law, is thus
not only reflected in Israeli laws and policies, but is grounded in the
very nature of Israel as a Jewish state, in public perception and in the
Zionist credo.

Kathleen and Bill Christison:
Zionism as a
Racist Ideology
When you
are on the ground in Palestine, you can see Zionism physically imprinted
on the landscape. Not only can you see that there are settlements, built
on land confiscated from Palestinians, where Palestinians may not live.
Not only can you see roads in the occupied territories, again built on
land taken from Palestinians, where Palestinians may not drive. Not only
can you observe that water in the occupied territories is allocated, by
Israeli governmental authorities, so inequitably that Israeli settlers
are allocated five times the amount per capita as are Palestinians and,
in periods of drought, Palestinians stand in line for drinking water
while Israeli settlements enjoy lush gardens and swimming pools. Not
only can you stand and watch as Israeli bulldozers flatten Palestinian
olive groves and other agricultural land, destroy Palestinian wells, and
demolish Palestinian homes to make way for the separation wall that
Israel is constructing across the length and breadth of the West Bank.
The wall fences off Palestinians from Israelis, supposedly to provide
greater security for Israelis but in fact in order to cage Palestinians,
to define a border for Israel that will exclude a maximum number of
Palestinians.
But, if this is not enough to demonstrate the inherent racism of
Israel's occupation, you can also drive through Palestinian towns and
Palestinian neighborhoods in and near Jerusalem and see what is perhaps
the most cruelly racist policy in Zionism's arsenal: house demolitions,
the preeminent symbol of Zionism's drive to maintain Jewish
predominance. Virtually every street has a house or houses reduced to
rubble, one floor pancaked onto another or simply a pile of broken
concrete bulldozed into an incoherent heap. Jeff Halper, founder and
head of the non-governmental Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
(ICAHD), an anthropologist and scholar of the occupation, has observed
that Zionist and Israeli leaders going back 80 years have all conveyed
what he calls "The Message" to Palestinians. The Message, Halper says,
is "Submit. Only when you abandon your dreams for an independent state
of your own, and accept that Palestine has become the Land of Israel,
will we relent [i.e., stop attacking Palestinians]." The deeper meaning
of The Message, as carried by the bulldozers so ubiquitous in targeted
Palestinian neighborhoods today, is that "You [Palestinians] do not
belong here. We uprooted you from your homes in 1948 and now we will
uproot you from all of the Land of Israel."

Human Rights Watch, 2004-10-18:
Israel destroys Palestinian homes as punishment
The
group, based in New York, says 16,000 people have been made homeless in
southern Gaza over the past four years, regardless of whether their
homes posed a genuine military threat. ... [Kenneth Roth, the executive
director of Human Rights Watch, said:] "Part of the rationale here seems
to be to punish civilians for the conduct of militants. The people whose
homes are destroyed are, for the most part, just ordinary civilians."
... Peter Hansen, the commissioner general of the UN Relief and Works
Agency [said] ... "Most of what we have seen here ... over the past two
weeks is in gross violation of international humanitarian law ..."
Could the real reason for Ariel Sharon's desire to remove Jewish
"settlers" (actually illegal occupiers) from Gaza be that this psychopath
wishes to use all the remaining Palestinian inhabitants of Gaza as
hostages, to be allowed water and electricity (which Israel controls) for
just an hour a day and thereby to be reduced to even more abject misery
and desperation, if any Palestinian should continue to oppose Israel's
continued attempt to destroy Palestinian society?
|
Christian Zionism
There is also something called "Christian Zionism", whose adherents
(including the followers of Jerry Falwell) totally support Israel. This
psychopathological delusion sees Jewish occupation of Palestine as partly
fulfilling biblical prophecy in a process leading to Armageddon and the
Rapture (in which, they believe, all Christian Zionists will be taken up to
heaven, leaving the rest of us to die on a scorched Earth).

consequence of which is the ongoing "war on terrorism" that is

Big win for Israel's Sharon
After
meeting with Sharon this week, President Bush agreed to recognize
Israeli settlements in the West Bank, accept a temporary security fence
between Israelis and Palestinians, and repudiate Palestinian claims to a
right of return to Israel. In every case, it's a departure from
long-held U.S. positions. Sharon was, to say the least, pleased.
|
Ever wonder why Bush gives Sharon everything he wants? Consider this
explanation: Israel was involved in the planning for the 9/11 attacks on
the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Bush was instructed as to how he was to
behave on the morning of 9/11 when informed of the WTC impacts. This meeting
was captured on video by the Israelis, who have given Bush a copy of the
tape. If Bush does not give Sharon everything he wants the Israelis will
leak the video and Bush will be dead meat.

Kevin MacDonald:
Understanding Jewish Influence
The
current situation in the United States is the result of an awesome
deployment of Jewish power and influence. One must contemplate the fact
that American Jews have managed to maintain unquestioned support for
Israel over the last thirty-five years despite Israel's seizing land and
engaging in a brutal occupation of the Palestinians in the occupied
territories an occupation that will most likely end with expulsion or
complete subjugation, degradation, and apartheid. During this same
period Jewish organizations in America have been a principal force in
my view the main force for erecting a state dedicated to suppressing
ethnic identification among Europeans, for encouraging massive
multi-ethnic immigration into the U.S., and for erecting a legal system
and cultural ideology that is obsessively sensitive to the complaints
and interests of ethnic minorities: the culture of the Holocaust.

Report: Pentagon twisted pre-war data
[Democratic Senator Carl] Levin's report concluded: "Intelligence

Undersecretary of Defence Douglas Feith one of the Bush
administration's strongest advocates for war against Iraq led the now
defunct CEG.
The 46-page document detailed how Feith's analysts repeatedly sought
to outflank the CIA, which was much more sceptical of Iraq-al-Qaida
ties.
Neocon/Zionist Douglas Feith was pursuing the Neocon/Zionist agenda of
having the US dispose of Israel's enemies. Although no evidence has ever
been produced of a connection between Saddam Hussein and either 9/11 or
Al-Qaida, the CEG fabricated evidence for the use of the Bush
administration, allowing it to play its assigned role in the Zionist
strategy of militarily defeating (using US forces) and possibly dividing
any country perceived by it to be a threat, the first being
Iraq.

America

the inane notion that treason against America is somehow excusable where
Israel is concerned. It is the same psychotic reasoning which prevails
upon Israelis to murder Palestinian woman and children in a blood lust
of frustration to drive the indigenous people from Palestine. As if the
world is expected to realize the establishment of a religiously racist
foreign Zionist state void of any diversity through murder, treachery,
and ethnic cleansing is somehow noble? The mayhem, suffering and toll on
American society is just not worth it, it's time for a different way.

The most
serious charge made against Israel was that it had information on the
9-11 terrorists and failed to inform American authorities so they could
have prevented the terrorist attacks. What if this is completely
backwards? What if Israel fully informed the CIA of its concerns and
intelligence, and made sure such information reached Bush, but had its
neocon agents ensure that Bush would not do anything about it, thus
leaving him open to continuous blackmail? That would explain the supreme
over-confidence of Israel and the neocons, the fact that the American
government caves in to every insane Likudnik position no matter how
damaging to real American interests, and the apparent lack of concern
about outrageous embarrassment of the American government by the
Israelis. Has George Bush fallen into the same Israeli blackmail snare
that caught his father?

John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt:
The
Israel Lobby
Since
the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of
support dwarfing that given to any other state. It has been the largest
annual recipient of direct economic and military assistance since 1976,
and is the largest recipient in total since World War Two, to the tune
of well over $140 billion (in 2004 dollars). Israel receives about $3
billion in direct assistance each year, roughly one-fifth of the foreign
aid budget, and worth about $500 a year for every Israeli. ...
Given the neo-conservatives' devotion to Israel, their obsession with
Iraq, and their influence in the Bush administration, it isn't
surprising that many Americans suspected that the war was designed to
further Israeli interests. Last March, Barry Jacobs of the American
Jewish Committee acknowledged that the belief that Israel and the
neo-conservatives had conspired to get the US into a war in Iraq was
'pervasive' in the intelligence community. Yet few people would say so
publicly, and most of those who did including Senator Ernest Hollings
and Representative James Moran were condemned for raising the issue.
Michael Kinsley wrote in late 2002 that 'the lack of public discussion
about the role of Israel ... is the proverbial elephant in the room.'
The reason for the reluctance to talk about it, he observed, was fear of
being labeled an anti-semite. There is little doubt that Israel and the
Lobby were key factors in the decision to go to war. It's a decision the
US would have been far less likely to take without their efforts. And
the war itself was intended to be only the first step.

the household manages to scrounge together doing temporary jobs once
every few days......"
