Preface
What fundamentally underlies the motivation of Zionist Israel’s conquest and colonization of Palestine and the Palestinian people is what has fundamentally driven the human world’s conquest and colonization of vulnerable, less-stronger indigenous peoples, their lands and natural resources since humankind’s earliest evolution from the primordial muck of creation. Greed, Power, Control, Domination over all lesser lifeforms that get in the way of their ruthless juggernaut evolutionary journey through time and space is what is still humankind’s key, operative, motivating force. The latest wars in Ukraine and Gaza nothing more than a repeat of ancient “Might Makes Right” philosophy, ad infinitum.
If the so-called ‘Civilized” world is ever to accomplish anything significantly and meaningfully different than it so far has in past centuries, since the beginning, it now is being challenged by the wars in Ukraine and Gaza to decide what exactly that significant and meaningful difference may yet be.
Otherwise, the only other conclusion to arrive at is that it is simply a matter of time until the final tipping point is reached, or biggest most world-destructive bomb or weapon is invented and used to its deadliest effectiveness, by yet the next most crazed Hitler, Netanyahu, Bush or Zelensky to come along.
The Truth About the International Court of Justice Ruling of Genocide
Some contend The International Court of Justice (ICJ) tepid ruling of so-called potential genocide that could lead to genocide against Zionist Israel is at least a small win for the formal rule of law between the civilized nations of the world.
But it doesn’t do a damn thing to stop the indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinians, stop the war, or prevent it from already turning into a regional war that could quickly turn into a world war; as the recent close-call firing of a Houthi cruise missile at an American war ship suggests.
While the likes of the United States and government of President ‘Genocide Joe’ Biden, in spite of so much damning evidence presented by South Africa’s legal team to the ICJ, contemptuously termed the ICJ’s ruling of genocide against Israel to be “Meritless”.
Biden’s outrageous comment is a flagrant insult, mockery and affront to the rule of international law in light of the backdrop of the past 75 years of genocide, since 1945, perpetrated against the Palestinians; with the United States a clear co-conspirator and enabler, complicit in Israel’s genocidal crimes; having provided during all those years with monies stolen from its taxpayers, military weaponry, and the ultimate ‘slam dunk’ weapon of its veto power within the UN’s Security Council, that it exercised 36 times to block and cover up Israel’s on-going genocide and denial of Palestinian Statehood. Biden and the US, obviously, has never heard of the movement NOT IN MY NAME!
The same charge of genocidal complicity could and should be leveled at the US, as well, as every other nation that likewise served as co-conspirators with Israel and the United States during those three-quarters of a century; which would no doubt be everyone.
Zionist Israel, the US, UK and other co-conspirators in Western governments also will continue to arrogantly ignore or malevolently skirt, as craftily, maliciously and devilishly as they can, the ICJ’s decision; with the sum total end result that the Palestinians will remain landless, stateless and no closer to a final One-State Solution, with a clear partition between themselves and Zionist Israel; which Zionist Israel has absolutely no intention of ever giving back so much as a zot of its stolen occupied territories to the Palestinians.
Its intent remains, as always, to totally divest and remove the Palestinians from the last remaining scraps of their former homelands. The lands so far totally flattened by Israel’s blitzkrieg air and land forces already even arrogantly being advertised to potential future settler-colonists, investors and speculators by international real estate investment syndicates for soon-to-be available purchase and occupancy.
Unless the international community of nations immediately undertakes to impose: an immediate worldwide arms embargo and ironclad ceasefire, followed by an equally-ironclad Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS) Movement against Zionist Israel, to counteract the United States co-conspiratorial role, with its always ultimate veto power vote ready in its back pocket, any action beyond the ICJ’s weak-kneed, lily-livered ‘potential genocide’ ruling will end up for naught, with yet more ofthe same old, “Yaddah, Yaddah. Yaddah”, business-as-usual smugness.
The Zionist Project, since Israel’s inception as a fascist, lawless political state in 1948, has always been to create the Zionist’s dream of a pure Jewish apartheid state, devoid of all Palestinians and other Arabs.
Oct 7 simply the convenient trigger of many deadly triggers opportunistically seized upon by the Zionists at every turn; since long before even the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and invasion of Palestine in 1948 to accomplish the Final Solution of their steadfast megalomaniacal master plan to create an exclusive nationalistic homeland of the Jewish religion. Oct 7 simply the ultimate trigger needed, with the blessings of the world’s complicit fascist governments and regimes within the Western and Arab worlds, to realize and legitimize their own fascist political dreams-come-true.
Meir Kahane, the radical, American Zionist leader, who was assassinated in the 1950’s once famously declared, which hard-nosed Zionists continue to believe to this day, that “The Arab is a cancer in our midst, and you don’t co-exist with a cancer. You either cut it out or you die.” Kahanism is pure, unadulterated, Zionism in the raw.
While Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, one of the world’s leading anti-Zionist scholars, contends “Zionism is no good for anybody. Not for the Jewish people, not for the Gentile people. Not for anyone. Zionist propaganda hides what Zionism really is, because Zionists don’t want people to really understand what Zionism is”.
While, writer and philosopher Noam Chomsky. In “Israel: A Land Without a People For a People Without a Land” has also stated, for the record, that “The very existence of Israel, in its essence, is anti-semitism.”
Chomsky’s point will be elaborated upon a bit later here by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro.
Historically, Zionism is to Israeli Nationalism what Nazism was to fascist German nationalism. To the extent that the general public doesn’t yet already totally understand that, suggests how successful the propagandists have been in their massive brainwashing of the world’s masses; that has successfully convinced them to believe that what is happening in the war in Gaza today is simply an extension of the so-called ‘World War Against Terrorism’; first begun against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and his bogus Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD’s), rather than it being a worldwide civil war OF TERROR, perpetrated by international Deep State fascists, that has followed, ever since.
Zionist Israel’s movement in Israel, as one of many extensions of that same war now in Gaza, in anticipation of yet its further expansion in its occupied West Bank territories, is now considering militarizing its settler colonists with additional anti-tank missiles and even more sophisticated high-powered small arms weaponry; not unlike what Germany. Italy and Spain’s Neo-Nazis did in the 1930’s, when they also began arming their own rabid, brainwashed civilian supporters prior to their planned invasion that began the onset of WWII’s on-slaughter.
So What Then Is a Jew, a Zionist, Zionist Propaganda, Israelism, Truth
Within the context of evolution of Zionist Jewry, their Zionist Colonization Project, as first conceived, then acted upon in 1948, finally is culminating in 2024 with either the genocide of the entire nation of Palestinian Arabs or their utter deportation and hostile exile to disparate parts yet unknown, and/or another world war to try to stop it.
Within the context of the war in Gaza, to compare a real orthodox Jew to a Zionist Jew, or real orthodox Christian to a Zionist Christian, is akin to trying to compare apples to oranges. They’re two entirely different entities, or whatever other descriptive term one might care to use as a comparison.
The one follows the precepts of the original teachings of their Jewish or Christian faiths, as constituted since their earliest origins with the some 600+ teachings of the Torah or Ten Commandments of the Bible, that remain inviolate to this day, The adherents of these faiths incapable of participating in: senseless, murderous, ruthless, vengeful, blood-thirsty, unholy retribution; such is now being waged against the Palestinians in Occupied Palestine.
Their opposite counterparts those who only know how to commit such acts of retribution, forever remain comfortable and satisfied with such actions.
The genocidal policies and actions being committed by the Zionist Israeli’s, and their complicit Zionist evangelical Christian allies throughout the Old World’s Western-Eastern Europe, Middle Eastern, and New World nations, historically, have had layer-upon-layer of political-ideological-evangelical adaptations grafted onto them; whose primitive principles remain, as they always have been, forever amoral, without conscience or any inherent sense of guilt for violating whatever once sacrosanct precepts. In short, the difference between a genuine religious Jew or Christian and their Zionist counterparts is no different than comparing a true democrat to a fascist.
The renowned American-Jewish Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro is one who spells out in great detail what some of the fundamental contradictions are Zionist Israel as a democratic political-religious ideal as opposed to the racist, fascist entity it has become.
For over 30 years he has attained an enviable place in the arena of anti-Zionist intellectuals on the ideology of on the ideology of Zionism and its relationship to Judaism. His field of research includes: religious philosophy; analytic theology; Talmud, Halachah and Biblical exegesis. His most recent published best-seller work is “The Empty Wagon; Zionism’s Journey from Identity Crisis to Identity Theft”; one of the most controversial books on the subject of Judaism and Zionism, is considered by many to be the most definitive work written on the subject; while Zionists who have read it absolutely hate it. Rabbi Shapiro’s 7-Minute video on President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the political capital of Israel has been viewed well over two million times.
Rabbi Shapiro Raises Interesting Points About Zionist Israel
In a You Tube discussion of “Jewish Nationality is an Absurdity; It Doesn’t Make Any Sense”, Rabbi Shapiro, an internationally-renowned scholar on Zionism, raises further critical talking points about what is Jewish Nationality and what is not Jewish Nationality, that clarifies many of the commonly misunderstood principles that underlie the founding and evolution of the modern Zionist Israel State.
Among the points he underscores, includes: the definition of Zionism, in a nutshell, means the term ‘Jewish State’, that refers primarily to issues of nationality. In a nutshell, Zionism means the ‘Jewish State’. Meaning only Jews, not Palestinians or non-Jews, have the same self-determination rights by law in Israel. In Zionist Israel there is no one common language, Hebrew or otherwise, nor does there exist a common nationality or political requirement to swear allegiance to Zionism. Ben Gurion, Israel’s first President, even refused, when asked, to put the word ‘God’ in Zionist Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
To further clarify what that means, Rabbi Shapiro states the analogy,
“Israel is to the Jewish people, what France is to the French people, what Ireland is the Irish people, What America is to the Americans, and so on.”
In a nutshell, Zionist Israel means ‘the Jewish State’, that has nothing to do with the Jewish religion.
“In and of itself”, says Rabbi Shapiro, “The Jewish State isn’t, inherently, a settler-colonist movement, either. Shapiro says it doesn’t even have anything to do with the Palestinians. It’s nothing personal. They have simply gotten caught in the crossfire with Zionism’s radical ideological desire to create a 100% pure State of Jewish people of the Jewish faith.”
Therefore, Zionism is an ideological movement to rebrand and re-engineer the former lands of Palestine into the new state of Israel, solely as the political nation-state of the Jews.
Because even though non-Jews can live and work in Israel, even if they are not of the Jewish faith, they cannot have the same rights as a person who is a Jew by birth or by conversion. Which means they do not have the same inherent, innate rights as a citizen who is a Jew by birth or by conversion. It’s a form of religion, in and of itself. Therefore, Zionist Israel, by definition, isn’t naturally compatible with being a democratic state or a real democracy.
Also, though no Islamic or Arab State claims to represent all Moslems, Zionism claims Israel is the ‘Nation of the Jews’ and, as such, Benjamin Netanyahu himself has claimed many times in public that he represents all the world’s Jews.
Benjamin Netanyahu, in his book A Place of Nations, asserts that “Anti -Zionism is the same as anti-semitism.” Yet Rabbi Shapiro says that is the equivalency of saying, “I’m not anti-American or anti-Zionist. I just think the U.S. or Israel shouldn’t exist.” Or as Noam Chomsky earlier pointed out in the text here, “The very existence of Israel, in its essence, is anti-semitism.”
Al-Jazeera’s English-speaking program recently presented for release on You Tube.com the views of one very simple Orthodox Jewish religious person who gave his unabashed, heart-felt views to the world about his and Orthodox Judaism’s widely-held perspectives on: the war in Gaza; Jewish relationships with Palestinians, and; the basic differences that exist between Judaism and Zionism; that everyone who is concerned about the continuing genocide being committed in Gaza, the West Bank and Gaza Strip will find invaluable.
Entire Western World Complicit in Genocide Against Palestinians
By now, the growing numbers of coup’s, attempted coups and veritable world war somewhere still in the offing, orchestrated by the United States and waged by the fascists in Ukraine, and now the extension of that world war being waged by the Zionists in Gaza, are all part of the same single bolt of cloth plot to totally destroy any semblance of existing international rules of law, order and democracy, which don’t work for Zionist Israel’ fascist rule in Occupied Palestine any more than they do for the fascists anywhere else in the world. Since the 1980’s, the Deep State and its fascist governments have been steadily gaining power and control of the electorate everywhere in Europe, Asia, South and North America.
Led by America’s President Joe Biden and, no doubt, soon-to-be-re-elected President Trump, along with a lackey host of hundreds of others that include: Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau; the UK’s PM Rishi Sunak; France’s Emmanual Macron and Marine Le Pen; Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz and its Green Party; Italy’s PM Giorgia Melani and Silvio Berlusconi, and; Sweden’s Sweden Democrats; to name but a few among a host of hundreds more.
The neo-fascist movement never did go away with the defeat of Germany’s Nazi Party: Benito Mussolini’s Italian Social Movement (MSI) slowly morphed into the ‘Brothers of Italy (FDI) in an alliance with the fascists of the National Alliance (AN), Northern League (LN) and Matteo Salvani’’s radical Lega Party; former PM Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia Party (FI) with that of Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni;
Canada’s former PM Stephan Harper’s right-wing Conservative Party has since morphed into its new leadership under Pierre Poilievre, who now threatens to become Canada’s new Prime Minister;
France’s Union and French Fraternity Party (UFF) disappeared momentarily until it re-emerged into the mainstream under the banner of the National Rally; along with the emergence, in the European Parliament, with: the Austrian Freedom Party (FPO); not to forget the Netherlands, so-called Center Party (CP);
Poland’s radical League of Polish Families, and: the Fidesz Party in Hungary, under former PM Viktor Obanz, and its Budapest Model plan to build high-tech border fences to keep out Muslims and Brown people.
All of these nationalistic parties are commonly opposed to matters pertaining to immigrants, immigration, and share a core xenophobic ideology of nativism, authoritarianism, anti LGBTQ rights and populism.
Though they all may support a new perverted form or offer some lip-serving semblance of democracy, per se, they remain opposed to key government institutions and values, such as: an independent judiciary, a free and open media; minority rights; pluralism and the separation of powers.
So, it’s easy to see how the world’s fascists hands-off attitude to interfere with the Zionist Israel master plan continue to closely observe Zionist Israel’s methodical eradication of the Palestinians, one way or the other, and whatever degree of military or legal resistance it elicits, represents an all-important lynch pin, one critical strand, in the single bolt of cloth to eventually remove all semblances of formerly-existing democratic ways of life. Biden, Trump, Netanyahu & Company the leaders of the pack intent upon paving the way forward.
Alexander Garland, former co-chair of Germany’s Alternative for Germany Party (AFP), has said, in regard to current geo-political world events, “Hitler and the Nazis are just bird shit in more than 1,000 years of successful Germany history.”
Palestinians Are 21st Century Irish in the Way of Manifest Destiny
The whole matter of the plight of the Palestinians reminds this writer of the plight of his own Irish ancestors in Ireland, who once also had the same things happening to them, with the Irish Penal Laws of 1695 & The Property Act of 1703; when the writer Jonathan Swift wrote his infamous satire A Modest Proposal, in which Swift, to illuminate the horrendous predicament of we Irish through satire, suggested the Irish begin breeding its children for the catastrophe that was upon them, rather than see them needlessly starve to death, die and be idly buried; but instead breed them for consumption and leather products; thereby decreasing their population in need of non-existent food while, at the same time, create for themselves a self-supporting native-grown economy, through the marketing of the flesh and skin of our children.
Our people murdered, willy-nilly by Oliver Cromwell and British Army under the orders of the English aristocracy, the Zionists of their day; forced to starve to death, with only the common grasses underfoot left to eat, which back in the day our people referred to their fate as The Green Death; because of the green smears left on the lips of the corpses of our dead; while those of us lucky enough to have survived, were labelled as vagrants who finally were forced to flee to the New World in search of whatever safety and freedom we could find.
It’s a reminder, too, of the Sioux Indians this writer once lived among who told similar horrid stories of horrible death and destruction of their people at the hands of the ‘White Man’; who, themselves, even tanned the skin of the dead Sioux dead to make lamp shades, book covers, and other souvenir trinkets and the like; similar to the way the body parts of dead Palestinians are being used now in the midst of the war, by the Zionist invaders for their own commercial profit and personal use.
The writer W.B. Yeats, writing about the Irish peoples defiant Easter Uprising of 1916, that occurred about the same time English Lord Balford and his Zionist plotters were drafting their Balfour Declaration that was to seal the fate of the Palestinian people, declared in one of his stanza’s, “Now and in time to be, wherever the green is worn, are changed, changed utterly, a terrible beauty is born.”
Yeats could foresee the future of the Irish, rising above that of the British fascist when he juxtaposed the words “terrible” and “beauty” to contrast the angelic image of the Irish against the angry, vengeful English. Were some Palestinian Yeats around today what choice words would he or she now use to contrast the angelic image of the Palestinians against the angry, vengeful Zionists in their midst in Israel and America?
Survival of Indigenous Peoples Is a Never Ending Saga
Zionist Israel itself represents a new European invention of a massive, world-wide Zionist version of a 21stCentury ‘Manifest Destiny’ Settler-Colonization Project, in the making for over at least century or more, intent upon destroying not only the Palestinian people but any and all existing democratic governments left on the planet.
The genocidal attack against the Palestinians in Gaza by the Western powers, under the leadership of the United State and a host of its lackey Western governments, continues to be resolutely supported by those today who, like the Lord Balfour’s and Oliver Cromwell’s of their day, arrogantly flaunt, with contempt the International Court of Justice (ICG) window-dressing ruling of so-called “potential” genocide; but without ever simultaneously calling for resolute, meaningful political actions that include: a permanent ceasefire; immediate arms embargo; International Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement against Zionist Israel, as well as; absolutely insist, no demand, the United Nation’s immediately implement, on behalf of the Palestinians, a One State Solution, with adequate partitions between Palestine and Israel to ensure whatever so-called potential genocide at once ceases and never ever again threatens.
