    Zionism

    A prominent L.A. Times editorial confuses the political movement of Zionism with semites as a race in an attempt to argue that anti-Zionism is worse than anti-Semitism and should be treated as a hate crime.

    The op-ed, written by Judea Pearl, the father of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, asks in its headline, Is anti-Zionism Hate? The question is answered by the sub headline, “Yes. It is more dangerous than anti-Semitism, threatening lives and peace in the Middle East.”

    Pearl is a professor at UCLA and the president of the Daniel Pearl Foundation, which includes amongst its honorary members Bill Clinton, the Queen of Jordan and writer Eliezer Wiesel, who has attracted controversy for his support of Jewish terrorist group Irgun and his indifference to historical massacres of Palestinians.

    Noam Chomsky criticized Wiesel for once stating, “I support Israel—period. I identify with Israel—period. I never attack, never criticize Israel when I am not in Israel.”

    The L.A. Times article essentially tries to argue that everyone, particularly academia, should adhere to Wiesel’s mantra and refrain from criticizing the government of Israel and its policies. It does so by deliberately and underhandedly conflating Jews, Israel and ZIonism into one single entity.

    Pearl states that criticism of Zionism is “discriminatory,” “immoral,” and “dangerous,” because it “rejects the very notion that Jews are a nation — a collective bonded by a common history — and, accordingly, denies Jews the right to self-determination in their historical birthplace.”

    Jews are a nation? That’s news to me – last time I checked Judaism was not a race or a nation, it was a religion.

    Very early in the article, Jews, Zionism and Israel have lost all definition and are conflated as one and the same.

    • A d v e r t i s e m e n t
    • efoods
    “Anti-Semitism rejects Jews as equal members of the human race; anti-Zionism rejects Israel as an equal member in the family of nations,” writes Pearl, further conflating Zionism with some kind of biblical legacy by claiming that, “Jews are a nation first and religion second….the unshaken conviction in their eventual repatriation to the birthplace of their history has been the engine behind Jewish endurance and hopes throughout their turbulent journey that started with the Roman expulsion in AD 70.”

    Again, Pearl’s agenda is to veil Zionism with the camouflage of Judaism and the country of Israel. Zionism is not a country and it does not have a biblical history to ally it with Judaism as Pearl attempts to argue. According to the dictionary definition, Zionism is a “movement of world Jewry that arose late in the 19th century with the aim of creating a Jewish state in Palestine.” It has no connection whatsoever with “the birthplace of their history” or “the Roman expulsion in AD 70″ as Pearl claims.

    Additionally, labeling Jews as a race is completely asinine. One can make the case that semites are a race, but even in this case such a definition would include “any of various ancient and modern people originating in southwestern Asia,” according to Wikipedia.

    In attempting to make the case that Zionism wholly represents Jews as a race of people and Israel as a country, Pearl tries to scoff at and downplay the massive number of Jews who oppose the Zionist political doctrine.

    Groups such as Jews Not Zionists, True Torah Jews Against Zionism, and Neturei Karta – Orthodox Jews United Against Zionism, represent a significant number of Jews who make the case that “The ideology of Zionism is in total opposition to the teachings of traditional Judaism”.

    “There are in fact many Jewish movements, groups and organizations whose ideology regarding Zionism and the so-called “State of Israel” is that of the unadulterated Torah position that any form of Zionism is heresy and that the existence of the so-called “State of Israel” is illegitimate,” according to the JewsNotZionists organization.

    As we have vehemently argued, Zionists are attempting to equate anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism as a means of silencing opposition to their brutal political agenda. This has nothing to do with protecting Jewish people against racism and everything to do with shutting down criticism of the Israeli government and its warmongering policies which, with the support of the U.S. elite, have made life a living hell for both Jews and Muslims in the Middle East for centuries.

      The Zionist bankers, our gnomes of Zurich

      Gnomes of Zurich is a disparaging term for Swiss bankers. Swiss bankers are generally associated with highly secret policies, while gnomes in fairy tales live underground, in secret, with their wealth. Zurich is the commercial center of Switzerland and the promised land of Zionist bankers…

      Zionism DOES NOT speak for all Jews everywhere. Zionism manipulates the Torah and Jewish history for their own self centred benefit.

      Not all Jews are Zionist Pigs.

      There are Hundreds of Thousands of Jews who are set against Zionism and all of that Bowel Movement misrepresents.

      Hi watchman,

      I am a muslim shia from Lebanon and I would like to assure you too that many shia muslims are reasonable and can identify between zionists and Jews. Its a shame we are all caught in the middle and i too hope the zionists loose their hand over Israel and more groups like the one in the photo protest it brings im sure alot of Palestinans and alot of other people in the world to be assured of the majority of Jews being opposed to this movement and its views.

      holy moly Reply:

      never in the existence of the world has there been a state called palestine. there probably never will be. if one emerges it will last about five minutes as the major arab powers invade to slice it up for themselves.

      ‘palestinians’ are sadly used as proxies since Syria and Co. have failed time and again to beat Israel militarily.

      IRON LIKE A LION IN ZION

      do your research people, read the writings of HERZL, discover the history of how the Ottoman Empire laid the territory of palestine to waste for generations.

      The anti-zionist Jewish groups mentioned in this article are NOT substantial and are nothing more than fringe elements and impostors dressed as ultra-orthdox (visibly jewish) jews.

      ANTI ZIONISM IS NOT A HATE CRIME WHERE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS VALUED> IT IS A VALID CHECK AND BALANCE, THE FOUNDATIONS FOR WHICH CAN BE DEBATED AND REBUKED A THOUSAND TIMES OVER!

      HOWEVER< when equating zionism with nazism, is definitely hateful slander. a crime? no. stupid? yes.

      Stupidity is the enemy here…DO YOUR OWN OBJECTIVE PROPER RESEARCH, BECAUSE ALEX JONES DOES NOT! I WONDER IF THERE IS A PROFESSIONAL RAPPER WE COULD INTERVIEW TO CLEAR ALL OF THIS UP FOR US

      How about we cut off the flow of American technological weaponry, financial aid and UN

      holy moly has very cooly written a short and concise digest of actual reality in contrast to the emotionally charged nonsense that most of you are knee-jerking. That Jews and/or Zionists are or could be responsible for all of those ‘things’ that your programmed minds profess, is utterly mindless. Hat Jews if you will; hate Zionists if you will – but don’t try to claim that your hate is knowledge based; it isn’t!

      peteypete,

      Our own intelligence shows that “murderous islamic jihadists”, are created by our policy of interventionism. This policy is inextricably tied to our collaboration with Israel.

      Judgement Day Reply:

      Actually, according to the Qur’an and hadith, “murderous islamic jihadists” are created by Islam, as it has for 1400 years. That’s about 1340 years longer than our “collaboration with Israel”. Instead of coming around here to reinforce your bigotry and hatred, why don’t you try getting an education?

      Mike Reply:

      Judgement Day,

      No doubt radical strands do exist, but we have obviously legitimized those strands by proving their negative images of Westerers right by bombing, sanctioning, and invading them. I think it’s high time America leads by example and pulls all of our troops out of all foreign countries and protects its own borders.

      I’m not sure what “bigotry and hatred” you’re referring to. I’m attacking government policy here, not religion or culture.

      Well I didn’t want to bring this up the other day because everyone seemed so convinced that Islam was trying to curb Americas freedom of religion through the Anti blasphemy law being kicked around at the UN, but my first thought was that this had a lot more to do with the ZIONIST protection than anything else. There is no real way to explain to anyone who has not read the TALMUD who the real raciest are. So before you start screaming that I most be anti-Semitic or I hate Jews or anything to that effect, please read some of the things that the TALMUD says about anyone who isn’t them. I am well aware of who the sons of SHEM are and this group going by the name ZIONIST are not them.

      First off I’m not racist. Second. I know there difference between right and wrong. I couldn’t give a damn what you are. Black, white, red, yellow. That doesn’t matter. It matters what you do. They talk about the middleeast being unstable. Well take a look at whats making it unstable. America and Israel. America needs to go home and mind there damn business and Israel needs to get blown off the map.
      I don’t hate Israel. I hate what there doing to the Palestinians and the middle east. So if that makes me a raciest then I’ll see you on the battlefield.
      And as far as the US goes. Let me put it this way. As a native American. The US government damn near wiped my people off the map. And what I see is the government doing the same thing to its citizen as it did to us.
      They’ve proven time and time again that they can’t be trusted. That the only time that there telling the truth is when there not talking. Whats it going to take before you go native on there ass. Will it take the extermination of 80% of your family before you wake up and do something. Because if that’s what your going to do then let me give you a piece of advice. Being passive didn’t work out so well for us. And today the government is even more dangerous then it was back then.
      It starts in your home town. When you see a wrong make it right. When someone needs help. Help them. If someone wants to fight. Kill them.

      The Anti-Zionists want to complete Hitler’s Final Solution. It is not pc to scapegoat Jews like Hitler did but it is now pc to scapegoat “Zionists”.

      Curt Reply:

      Do you understand the history of Zionism? At the end of the Ottoman Empire, when England took control of the land of Palestine, the Jewish population was 20%. Through illegal immigration this population grew (there was a yearly quota of 50,000 immigrants that was greatly overrun). When the states of Israel and Palestine were created by the UN it was designed to be an equal split. We all know that the borders established by this treaty continue to be ignored and now Israel proper makes up 85% of this land.

      To believe that the Jews who illegally immigrated to this land have a right to the land is insane. Mark if you truly believe this then you must also be a firm supporter of La Raza and the movement of Latino immigrants who want to repatriate California, Arizona & NM.

      Excellent article, However I guarantee that the paid bloggers and ignorant individual who have no concept of history and what the old testament speaks of and what the torah s will be banbeesaled.
      During world war 2 most of the true Jews of the torah were killed and very few Zionist actually died if any, so that the Zionist movement from being a fringe could become mainstream.
      today as people are waking up to what Zionism means for the world, the only way they can stop this is by outlawing free speech and causing a true contrived clash of civilizations.
      I remember in Alex Jones film terrorstorm how Benjamin was given a 20 minute warning before the so called suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus close to the hotel in which Benjamin was staying in ie 7/7 (not) because actually it was a black flag attack and the actual patsies were killed shot in the streets deader then a door nail i.e. 7/7 ripple effect and we all know what’s happening to the filmmaker ,who may be going to prison for life for exposing this.
      However, with every extreme action that is taken by the forces’ that be, the truth gains momentum. The problem is who can you trust Iran ?/ no because they what a world government Israel?/ no because they want a world government US AND UK ? no because they want a world government. China and Russia? no because they want a world government.
      So who can you trust well let’s look at the alternatives, but remember as Alex once said “what ever the globalist want, I want the opposite.”
      So remember who are most demonized group of people, REMEMBER NOT COUNTRIES BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BOUGHT AND PAID FOR, but the individual groups that are demonized in the media and that’s where the answer, lies, even if that makes you feel sick that’s the answer.

      I think there is good cause to be against most of Israel’s practices. However there IS considerable overlap between anti zionism and anti semitism. I think it is important to not allow these two gereral camps to merge because the anti zionist motivaions can by association lend a false sense of credibility to anti semitism.
      I think this just means that anti zionist movements need to be very careful to avoid corruption. Additionally, I think moving from an “ism” to a more organic watchdog group interested in protecting the human rights and lives of people involved in the conflicts surrounding israel may be a useful measure. I understand that this could be seen as watering down the movement.

      The Danites started the modern era in about 1650 B.C. no, not A.D. but, B.C. They were shipbuilders, cattle traders, craftsmen and, ultimately conquerors of Scandinavia, Northern Europe, Ireland and the British Isles. They also trekked to central Russia from the Northland and back to the Mediterranean in early post-Roman times. Some like to call this “crypto-history” and minimize the impact of the Danites in European History, but others, like me, see the Danites as the originators of our current quandries about Israel, the Holocaust and WWIII because, you see the Danites originated in what is today Northern Israel and were the Biblilcal “Tribe of Dan” ….the “lost” tribe of Israel. They are known as Carthaginian (remember them?) and “Vikings”.

      Their great success has been based upon what they are willing to do TO their own. Murder, mutilation and yes, even genocide. For, after conquest and intermarriage, they would return in decades or even centuries and make slaves of those same populations. Maybe just an “anti-semitic” fantasy, but it fits a certain pattern which began to develop well before the Christian era.

      David Ickes new book, Global Conspiracy , gpes over the origins of Israel in quite a thorough manner. It could shown that there is no greater Anti Semite than Israel itself. They have a caste system in place that puts the native semites at the bottom of it. It was born by terrorism, and it’s maintained by terrorism. As what the controllers would like for here that it is one day a crime to dispute the official story of 911, instead of now just shouting the person down, or trying to get them medicated, or thrown into a mental institution, a LAW like they have in Europe for the Holocaust. Yes, that way no facts need to get in the way of a good myth that advances their interests. I work with people that parrot to me phrases, and words like ” I support Israels right to exist “, and ” Islamo Terrrorists “. No, the brainwashing here is everday, and so pervasive that it is a struggle to just get the real information to these people. We let fairy tales be told of things like JFK, and 911 become the official stories, and it takes a lifetime to show otherwise, while the Powers That Be further consolidate their positions while we do that. I would say that the Zionists could go to hell, but thats where they want to be. Information is the key, we need to keep getting out the real facts, and that is all we can do.

      So could it not be said that those would wish to horde and hurt and harm, are not just spoiled children, without the ability to make rash decisions at all junctures, leading themselves, and ourselves into the ruination of the smart, social world of spoiled children? Perhaps we must witness the lesson of the day in the feild. Perhaps we must remember that we are one.
      Your pain is my pain, your divine duty is my divine duty, and should we ask those who have a sworn duty, would we find those duties our own? Is it dissent to ask your elected official where they feel their duty actually lays? Does one emergency rank higher than another? Enough with talking money, let us pool our money and resources and keep all men eating, housed and learning. Turn the love of gold to dust, and the love of money to the respect of it’s materials.
      And turn back the love of men from hate and mistrust to the oath of the people’s protection. Drive out drugs by planting them to excess, and save your children’s future. Let the fortunes die. All of them. Forget gold, & value life, and work as if each who has ever fallen to the machine have been truely stolen, it is by the lost economic potential they must pay.

      The Zionists do, in fact, try and apparently succeeded in creating the illusion that Judaism is an ethnic culture. Judaism is not an ethnic culture has little or nothing to do with “Semitism” where Zionists lay their claim. Probably well over 98% of Jews are not “Semitic” but use this term to legitimize their claim of “ethnicity”. Most Jews live and have adopted the cultures of the geographical locations where they live and these places rarely include the Middle East. So if you have a grandmother who lived in Italy 2000 years ago, was Catholic, and folk lore says this culture was passed on to anyone who might remotely have a blood connection, then descendents of this woman are also Italian Catholics. However, the reality is that the grandmother’s descendents are no longer Catholic, have intermarried into the black culture and practice voodoo and don’t live or know anything about Italian culture. The Zionists would say it’s all lies and the grandmother’s descendents must be Italian Catholics because the Zionists say so. Therefore, this group of black people must be given land in Italy to form an apartheid church state. All that can be said about the Zionists is “get a life” and stop your killing and stealing.

      Having anit-semitic sentiments does not constitute a hate crime. Mr. Pearl never equates ‘anti-zionist’ ideology (which is his qualm) with anti-zionist/semitic criminal acts. He is worried that it could possibly lead to acts of crime.

      The spin-meisters in charge of this article should look deep into their souls when tying in this fringe nonsense to the important truths they are seeking.

      OF course Jews are a nation. Read the Bible. Read ANYTHING about Judaism. this is Judaism 101.

      jeremiah iii Reply:

      Weren’t the Jews of the original Israel Semitic people? Are the Zionists Semitic, or are they descended from Russian/European stock? The tribes of Israel were infiltrated through CONVERSION to Judaism. The Jews in power in Israel are not the BLOOD of biblical Israel.

      Christian Reply:

      They are descendants of the Khazars, who converted to a false form of Judaism that follows the Babylonian Talmud. The Babylonian Talmud is very racist and teaches it is no punishment for a Jew to decieve or kill non-Jews.

      Christian Reply:

      The Khazars converted for economic trade reasons in the 8th century.

      jeremiah iii Reply:

      Therefore the supposed “hating” of Zionists is NOT anti-antisemitism at all. And cannot be labeled as such. Could the current “State” of Israel be considered in violation of the UN founding rules? Was it not meant for the Hebrew people? Could a similarity be drawn to this: The Apache people were given, through treaty, x amount of acres for their reservation; I decide to “adopt” the traditional Apache spiritual system, and claim my right as an Apache to live on their land? I usurp, through a declaration of “I am part of the Apache Nation” a right for the land.

      THANK YOU for writing this article!

      I can’t count how many times I’ve had to explain to my family and friends, most who are college educated, that there is a difference between JEW and HEBREW. That SEMITE includes both hebrew AND arab. So, in all reality, all these war mongering neo-cons who are after the “islamofacist” should be the ones charged with anti-semitism.

      Palestine, speaking of the land and not a nation, used to be a peaceful place where muslim, jew and christian lived together in peace. Its because of zionism and the israeli government there is so much oppression. I don’t know what the bigger deceit is! Obama or Israel?!

      Christian Reply:

      Thats because the Babylonian Talmud preaches that there is no punishment for Jews to kill non-Jews, and it is all right to deceive non-Jews.

    50. Christian Says:

      Don’t turn against real Judaism because of its perverted forms today. Many who claim to be Jewish are really followers of a false form of Judaism which follows the Babylonian Talmud, a very racist text which is completely blasphemous. This false form of Judaism was started by the Khazars in the 8th Century. It is this false sect which will form the Synagogue of Satan as told in Revelations.

      P.S., Hate Crime legislation viloates the Equal-Protection Clause of the Constitution.

      Christian Reply:

      The Khazars spoke Yiddish, not Hebrew, and were not at all related to the original Israelis.

    51. Denise Says:

      Yeah, Israel is about as Jewish as the United States is Christain. Of necessity, one must claim to be these things in order to gain popular acceptance, but in reality they have an a religion and agenda that is quite contrary. It accomplishes defamation of both the religion and the nation around the world so they really score points on many fronts. Believing that all the Jews of Israel support the crimes their country engages in is as naive a response as those who think the same thing of Americans. The Zionists power brokers are avid devotees of Lucifer who want Yahweh’s earthly throne under their control as the center of the substitute world kingdom for their substitute world savior. Confused people support these preparations and the temple thinking that they are for the true Messiah, but they are for the Cabbalists messiah. The preparation for the return of Yahshua must take place in the soul.

    52. Christian Says:

      Daniel Pearl’s fateher says “Anti-Zionism threatens lives and peace”. WHAT? How does going against a ploicy of constant war, threaten lives and peace. Zionism in itself threatens lives and peace. If you want someone’s land you are threatening their lives and peace?

      ZIONISM THREATENS THE EXISTENCE OF JUDAISM

      Zionism is a creation of Satan to turn peoople against Judaism, even in its true form. I dont think Hitler could have thought of a better way to turn the public against Judaism.

      BS!
      For 2500 Years, that land was known as Palestinea, Syria Palestinea and British Mandate of Palestine.
      Palestinians even had their own currency called the Palestinian Pound in circulation, until 1949.
      Most Israeli Jews, are Asian Mongol 7th century Converts, former phallic worshippers aka Ashkenazi Jews from Khazaria, Asia originally.

      It is a Racial theocracy, with 3 Communist parties that operate Openly.
      Laws of JEW ONLY Roads, Schools, Housing, Marriage & License Plates exist in Israel and are enforced.
      This is Apartheid, only worse.

    55. WhatRoughBeast Says:

      While I agree that Zionism is a wholly incorrect philosophy, Judea Pearl does have a point in that some Anti-Semite’s are Anti-Zionists. However, not all Anti-Zionists, are Anti-Semite’s. And, there is another Op Ed published the same day taking the other stance called “Zionism is the Problem”:

      Your anti-Semitism is based on lies built on ignorance built on hate.

      Watson writes “Jews are a nation? That’s news to me.”

      Well, if Watson would stop reading Jew-hating blogs and The Protocals of the Elders of Zion, he might have the time to go back to 4th grade where they teach students to check meanings of words in the dictionary. The Miriam-Webster Collegiate 10th Edition writes: Jew: a member of a nation existing in Palestine fom the 6th century BC to the 1st century AD; a person belonging to a continuation through descent or conversion of the of the ancient Jewish people.

      But the Miriam-Webster has obviously sold its intellectual soul to the Zionists.

      God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion, and in this which appears in all eyes to be our weakness, has come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the threshold of sovereignty over all the world.

    61. SHENK FROM PORTUGAL Says:

      Israel of today is not the biblical Israel.

      According to wikipedia: “Although in the 11th century they comprised only 3% of the world’s Jewish population, Ashkenazi Jews accounted for (at their highest) 92% of the world’s Jews in 1931 and today make up approximately 80% of Jews worldwide.[3] Most Jewish communities with extended histories in Europe are Ashkenazim, with the exception of those associated with the Mediterranean region. The majority of the Jews who migrated from Europe to other continents in the past two centuries are Ashkenazim, Eastern Ashkenazim in particular. This is especially true in the United States, where 6 out of the 7 million American Jewish population – the largest Jewish population in the world when consistent statistical parameters are employed[4] – is Ashkenazi, representing the world’s single largest concentration of Ashkenazim.”

      “Ashkenaz is the medieval Hebrew name for the region which in modern times encompasses the country of Germany and German-speaking borderland areas.”

      The only reason why Israel is there was in part due to the Zionist organizations at the time of World War 2 who pretty much declared war on Germany and wrecked the country up and down. These Zionists made a deal with Britain to give up the Palestinian land if they forced US to participate on the World War 2.

      The Palestinians were lied to when Britain falsely promised to give them independence if Palestine helped fight the Ottomans. What happened after this deceiving plan was the illegal occupation of Palestine as we see today.

      Why should Iran put up with sanctions to pursue its right to nuclear power ?

      Zionists are just afraid of being defeated and liberating Jews.

      Here’s a concept for you – the people vs. the elitist power whores. You can put labels and divide these two basic groups up into a myriad of branches, but it all goes back down to the trunk of these two, separate trees. Quit spinning your wheels.

      And really if you think about it, its more like people that think rationally and people that go through life in a series of knee-jerk reactions. Lucent vs. the instinctual.

      We got to look towards innovation, technology and human progress as goals. Not the instinctual goals of power and domination.

      So yeah, there’s plenty of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Agnostics, and Atheists that all think things out, while there are plenty of the same on the other side just caving in to their instincts and making this a s---ty world to live in. Which side are you on? I can guarantee you are on the wrong side if you can’t tell your instincts to shut up and let your imagination and intellect drive.

      I have the answers for the Christians who have never been defended by their government but have rather been oppressed by their so called government of freedom.
      I also have the answers to the current generated economic crisis. This is a peaceful gathering for YHWH our God. But you might want to bring a firearm just in case. After all let us not forget what they did to us in Waco. MAY OUR LORD JESUS BE WITH YOU FRIEND.
