Zionists Hurt the Jewish Brand

Let’s get this straight.  Zionists don’t speak for Jews the way Al Qaeda doesn’t speak for Islam, or evangelists don’t speak for Christianity.  Jews are to rectangles as Zionists are to squares.  The Jews are getting a bad name. The Zionists are earning theirs.  The Zionists in their zealous pursuit of their mission to control the “homeland” are besmirching the overarching Jewish identity; or the brand.  The brand, that in spite of ignorant persecution as being inferior to the rest of the world, they have strived to achieve a respectable place in the world’s society.  All Jews do not believe that to observe their faith or culture they can only do it in Israel.  Judaism is portable; just like any other religion.  So what the Zionists are is something of zealotry, of those same zealots that died on Masada 2000 years ago.  I would say, beware of copycats.  The Zealots, romantically, were suicidal (but also of the first to use terrorism).

Many Jews chose other areas to live after the Roman expulsion around 100AD.  See Stop the Israeli/Palestinian madness. They were a defeated tribe as there have been many over the millennia.  But their religion continued all over the world with the dispersement of its followers.  It was only until the end of the 19^th century that Zionism came about with an emerging organization of Jews who believed that they should be able to return to their “homeland”. This became an ideological as well as a political movement that found support not only among religious Jewish fundamentalists, but enabled by others of the Christian faith.  It is this conservative faction that Benjamin Netanyahu and others belong, that established the state of Israel, and continues to remain intransigent in finding ways of preventing peace rather than searching for ways to compromise in the pursuit of peace.  But there are many Jews who don’t believe in this right of homeland and that’s why you sometimes hear the expression, “self hating Jew”;  which is nothing more than a typical smear tactic to delegitimize other Jews who don’t believe in the Zionist dream.  So the rectangle Jews are getting thrown under the bus from both sides.

Evangelists, or those on the right of Republicans, Tea partiers, use this issue as a wedge because, biblically, they empathize with Zionists.  For all they know or care about, they couldn’t care less if the end of days came because they believe in the second coming and they’ll spend the rest of their days with Christ.  I don’t know whether he comes here or they go there.  But apparently they believe there will be some reunion.  Hmmmmm.  Maybe, the evangelists have the ulterior motive for cheering on Israel in its disingenuous suicidal endeavor of expanding borders.  Perhaps if Israel is defeated then they get their ultimate revenge for Christ’s fate and the “Jews” get theirs.  Like, “let Mikey do it”.

As a matter of fact Israel is becoming more fanatical. Supporting Israel is becoming like supporting Iran.  But it’s a shell game.  It’s Zionists and Evangelists that enable this game; because they all believe the same fantasy.  Is Israel looking more like Iran being controlled by religious fanatics?  Should we be supporting this conduct or anyone (political party) who exploits this madness for their gain?

"One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." -- Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 [Source: N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1]

What’s the difference whether people are displaced from their homes in the interest of removing a particular sect of people because they are inferior; or others being told they cannot return to their homes because their property has been confiscated under the guise that it’s not theirs to begin with in the first place?  What’s the difference when one physically removes an ethnicity from a location and takes them to the gas chamber, and another situation where under the guise of security, an ethnicity is surreptitiously removed and told they can’t return?  Obviously, the gas chamber’s the difference.  But it’s just as inflammatory to say the 1967 borders are “Auschwitz lines”.  That’s like the race card; that’s the, “Oh we can’t defend ourselves” card, and we’ll be slaughtered card----who’s idea was it to confiscate the acquired territories in violation of the Geneva convention that says you can’t occupy thereby creating the situation?  The Zionists are playing this same game again.  So let’s remove the inflammatory part of the analogy and concentrate on the first part.  Because it seems the second action is an interesting ploy of media manipulation to gain sympathy and obfuscate the real situation; while simultaneously covering up their hate speech.

One sect has occupied a land that was occupied by another, and continues under the canard that they need more land to make secure the earlier confiscation.  It becomes expansionary right under our noses under another canard that it was theirs to begin with because of some deity given right 2500 years ago.  Really brilliant strategy, but only the gullible would fall for such a tactic, right?  And along the same logic, borders mean nothing because the earlier confiscated land needs more to constantly assure security for the previous acquisition.  It’s a pyramid game of some sort, but when does it end; when every inch a Jew has touched is confiscated?  Is this really the lie of the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion becoming true?  Netanyahu and accomplices, you are giving the Jews a bad name which gets confused with Zionism. You are practicing apartheid and racism.   Israel becoming a Jewish state has really become a Zionist’s state.  And you’re the ring leader, if not, losing control of your own extremists.

Is this any way to run a democracy when you have right wing zealots setting the agenda?  The same as WMD’s spin for Iraq and the Auschwitz lines are indefensible?   Paul Wolfowitz’s protégé, Dennis Ross, is the Mideast consultant to Obama who clearly is a “wolf” in sheep’s clothing.  Can we complicate things more?

Judaism is a religion and culture that can be observed from anywhere just as Christianity or Islam.  It’s the Zionists that control the agenda in Israel.  Even if Hamas said Israel we love you, the Zionists still wouldn’t believe it because their words to them are meaningless and the paper they’re written on would be unenforceable.  So they’ll still expand their settlements, because that’s their ultimate destination, and who’s kidding whom; demanding security is a smokescreen that can never be satisfied.  On the contrary, the more one oppresses, the oppressed becomes more frustrated and angrier.  What prevents Hamas from lobbing a bomb after they say I love you?  Having things to lose is what keeps Fatah from seeking the better “life” of 69 virgins. 

The Christians don’t have to take control of the church of the Holy Sepulcher to be observant.  It should be the same with Jerusalem, and what it represents to all the religions, should be available to all. Al Qaeda to Zionists as Jews to Islam giving a bad name.  I get it.  Some bomb, some do apartheid.  Saudi Arabia to Al Qaeda, US to Zionists. Let’s make outrageous connections.

What’s the difference if you destroy a civilization with bombs or slowly from within by ignoring infrastructure, human rights, etc. not caring because if truly the end of days comes you’re happy because you’ll be dead.  But not really dead because you think you’ll be having tea in the garden of Christ.  I think you’re as loony as anyone else who believes in an afterlife; which includes Muslims dying to be with virgins.  Then what are you doing here and now---recruiting?  Yes, but that’s been mentioned in The Gospel in Somalia.

John Boehner invited Netanyahu to speak before the congress?  That’s chutzpah.  Going around the President?  That invite should clearly come from our leader unless the Boehner bunch has ulterior motives----duh---which they do.

  

Can a Michelle Bachmann, a grad of Oral Roberts University, be an impartial leader of our country?  Is Oral Roberts known for unbiased education of children?  How can we have a democracy when a significant portion of elected officials are influenced in their decisions by religion?  This is how we got into this mess. George Bush was a born again. I don’t care if these people want to believe in their deities, but the founders of our country did not intend our government to be influenced by religion. Look what happens anytime an extreme controls the decisions.  Are we stupid enough to risk another evangelistic president like the Bush fiasco?  We should have an atheist, if anything.

The Evangelical Michelle Bachman’s, Paul Ryans, Tim Pawlentys etc. are going to set us straight?  Straight to doom.  These on the right are the candidates who are aligning themselves with the Zionists because it’s religiously popular.  But it’s that ilk of religiously minded that got us into this predicament in the first place; Wilson, Truman, Bush!  We’ve been supporting intransigent, zealot ideologues, who keep us ignorant, blindly faithful, and dependent on oil.  There’s no way out with that formula unless we stop the enabling. 

If there’s a rise in anti Semitism it’s because of Zionists who get the headlines and the rest of the Jews are lumped in.  So should Al Qaeda get the headlines as representative of all Islam?  Get the point?  They’re all fanatics.  Zionists just take themselves too seriously.  Religions are like vestigial organs of the past.  Many know they’re there but know they don’t offer much since science has contributed a lot more. But there are others who can’t give it up.  It’s their way of life.

The Zionists are doing to the U.S., now, what they did in the early 1900’s to the Arabs.  I doubt Wilson’s acceptance of the Balfour Agreement was contemplated with the understanding that a mass migration would result eventually culminating in the present day dilemma of secure boundaries and settlements.  Now we find ourselves dealing with a Zionist movement that practically dictates our moves because we’ve compromised our integrity for a dream that turned into a pariah.  It can only stop when we stop enabling the situation.  And what is it that compels our blind faithful support of a foreign policy that we clearly see is in conflict with our interests?  What is our unyielding support for Israel that we don’t blindly follow in other countries i.e. Iraq?  Iraq doesn’t have the religious agenda and, therefore, it doesn’t have a persuasive voting bloc.

So let’s not confuse this----all Jews are not Zionists. Even Hezbollah recognized this a few years back when they changed their advertising campaigns. Like all rectangles are not squares.  All Jews are not Zionists.  The right wing factor in Israel today is like having an evangelist president in the US today.  People should know that Zionists don’t speak for all Jews---just as evangelists shouldn’t speak for all Christians or Americans, or for that matter, Al Qaeda for Islam.

Zionists don’t even believe other sects of Jews are Jewish enough.  Zionists aren’t even aboriginal to Jerusalem whereas Arabs are native.  Zionists are immigrants by definition---returning to the homeland.  Haven’t they heard their “chosen” was nothing more than a rallying cry for the troops?  Like you tell your children, “Oh you’re so special”; really?  Their genes aren’t any different than anyone else’s’---even Palestinians/Arab’s.  So Hitler had it wrong, and so did the Spanish conquistadors slaughtering Native American Indians, and the homophobes, and the slave traders; all rationalized by 2500 year old dogma.  And when Zionists and the likes of Menachem Begin say Palestinians are “beasts walking on two legs”; it’s obnoxious to link old school Zionists and Jews.  It’s a shame that Zionists, most who have heritage to the Holocaust, in believing the way they do, have to treat others the way they’ve been treated.  And if they’ve taken over Israel, let them defend their own atrocities.  But human rights apply equally to all.

Apartheid and violating the Geneva Convention are not what my tax dollars should support.  We need oil? Maybe we should satisfy our oil needs first rather than sacrificing our good will for Zionist exploitation.  Let the Zionists defend themselves.  Zionists are lawyers parsing words when it comes to security?  Human rights transcend parsing words.  America---vote for Palestinian statehood.  Take it all to the next level and let The UN sort out the issues.  Ahmadinejad might be a loony---but it takes one to know one.  So Bebe and Ahmi are not loonies, they’re just fanatics playing their games and we, as monkeys, don’t try to get out from the middle.  Get off the oil addiction and stop enabling religious extremists with categorical support.
