'Jews are not better protected by a war effort, endorsed by the United States and waged in the name of Jewish safety, that furthers a genocide of a whole people collectively framed as “our enemy”. In fact, making Jews the face of an unrelenting, genocidal campaign only puts us at risk even more.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/28/biden-israel-gaza-policy

The Jews of the world will be safer when Israel no longer exists. There is no viable two-state solution.

As Miko Peled says, Israel and Palestine are the same place. Let those who can, live together in peace.

But how do we get to that point and what of those who will not live peacefully with "the other"? Three states maybe. Palestine for the peaceful and two separate states for the recalcitrant. Two other states where?

And what of the great many who are guilty of crimes? A couple of very large prisons?

Any racist act is unacceptable. School children should not be attacked for the actions of Israel.

The behaviour of the Zionist state endangers Jews around the world. It isn't fair, but it is reality. Jews will be safer when Israel is dismantled.

"Our society does not have an antisemitism crisis. It doesn’t have a crisis of far left radicalism, Islamist extremism, support for terrorism, or fomenting of dissent by foreign powers."

"... as Howard Zinn said, “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.”"

"The problem is that the freaks who rule over us are not sufficiently afraid of us. The problem is that we have not yet come to the collective realization that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that we don’t actually need to put up with them doing crazy and evil things right in front of our faces."

"That is the real crisis of our society. Not an imaginary antisemitism epidemic. Not college kids disobeying authority figures. Not leftists. Not anarchists. Not Islam. Not Hamas."

"The self-reverencing fury of US and Israeli politicians, and some in Europe, is revealing – and dismaying. Hamas’s massacre of about 1,200 people last October was appalling, criminal and unforgivable – and must and will be punished. It does not justify Israel’s disproportionate, illegal and indiscriminately lethal response in Gaza. But they just don’t get it."
They don't WANT to "get it". Israel was a product of British Imperialism. Like much of the Western world, Israel is now an arm of the US empire. The doublethink is the empire protecting its own.

Tweet from UK Holocaust Educational Trust, May 14 Paris Holocaust memorial vandalized with painted red handprints Text: We are shocked and saddened to see the antisemitic vandalism of the Shoah memorial in Paris with blood red hands on the Wall of the Righteous. This is a disgraceful act of hate, ignorance and disrespect. It is an abuse of the memory of the 6 million Jewish victims and also the righteous, who risked everything to save Jewish lives

"Here in Australia, as in a number of other countries, a misleading campaign has been led by unelected and unrepresentative organisations claiming to represent the Jewish community. Most of these organisations are uncritical defenders of successive Israeli governments with close connections to Israeli intelligence agencies.

The key claim of these unrepresentative organisations has been that the opposition and protests against the Israeli army’s war in Gaza is led by ‘antisemites’, and that many of the students and other participants in the protests are ‘antisemitic’."

"I was ... deeply surprised and deeply disturbed when I heard that Australian vice-chancellors were going to follow in the footsteps of heads of American universities in calling the police to dismantle student encampments at Australian universities.

The justification for this dismantling is the false cry about ‘antisemitism’."

"... formerly an anti-Semite was somebody who hated Jews because they were Jews and due to their Jewish nature and their race… Nowadays an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by a certain type of Zionist. Like one of the important Nazi leaders, Göring, said, “I determine who is a Jew.” And so the Zionists determine who is an anti-Semite. And as I say, I’m proud to be one of those."

Pandora's box? Interesting analogy.

When Pandora's box was opened, all the evils of the world were released. Pandora quickly reclosed the box. Only one thing was left behind. Some translations say it was hope. Others, "deceptive expectation".

"genocide of Israelis" @EyalL ? The ICJ finds Israel's bloodthirsty reaction prima facie genocide.

Your profile indicates that you're Israeli:
"Worried about the rise of fascism." Israeli Zionism pre-dates Fascism and Nazism. The parallels suggest that the latter are offspring of Zionism. Fascism is undeniably rising in Israel, but it's been evident from the very beginning.
"Worried more about inhumane murderers just km from me, who murdered 1500 people in cold blood, in 1 day." You'd be better off worrying about the inhumane murderers who are your fellow citizens.

As an Israeli, you naturally want to keep your ill-gotten gains. For Jews in general, that's probably not best.

While the Zionist state exists, Jews worldwide are less safe. As such, Israel is todays most effective antisemitism.

Eco's definition of "eternal" is rather idiosyncratic @heretical_i :blobcat_thinkingsmirk:

The roots of Zionism can be traced to the early 17th century. Until relatively recently, it was a gentile concept. Jews didn't start using the term in relation to themselves until very late in the 19th century. Jewish Zionism comes in many forms. The form that spawned Israel dates to that time period.

Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who drew upon both left-wing organizational tactics and right-wing political views. Italian Fascism gravitated to the right in the early 1920s.

Much as Nazism sprang from Fascism, it seems Fascism is very closely related to the Israeli form of Zionism.

Indeed @heretical_i Nazism, Fascism and Israeli Zionism share a common origin.

While the Zionist state exists, Jews worldwide are less safe.
As Yarden Katz wrote:
"... the dismantling of Israel and the liberation of Palestine must also be a Jewish struggle — a struggle that should go far beyond Jews showing solidarity for Palestinians or simply not wanting to be oppressors. “Israeli” is a colonial identity that should be renounced, not just because it harms Palestinians but also because it is deeply anti-Jewish."

It looks like @EyalL has blocked me. Here is the reply that I was going to send him:
Israeli Zionism (as distinct from other forms of Zionism, Jewish and otherwise) is the notion that someone who claims to be Jewish is entitled to take the home of a Palestinian, solely because they claim to be Jewish. Such injustices precipitated the October 7 atrocities and continue to endanger Jews worldwide.

Abuse of the term "antisemitism" has effectively neutered the concept. Here's a definition for you:
https://jerusalemdeclaration.org/

As Miko Peled observed, Israel and Palestine are the same place. He believes that Jews and Arabs can live together peacefully. That may be true, but by all appearances, it's true of probably less than 20% of the population. You are evidently not among that 20%, @EyalL.

WTAF: #US Secretary of State #Blinken warned if United Nations recognizes #Palestine as an independent State, United States, allies and affiliated businessmen will cut funding for #UN, thus cutting United Nations ability to run huminitarian aid for Global South countries.

He is threatening the world on behalf of #Israel, while pretending that they support a 2 state solution.

This is the most outrageous comment I've ever read from Blinken. I'm not sure if it's accurate, because the only source is the post on ShiTwitter:https://x.com/halalflow/status/1792944530389393422

The focus of this article is not Zionism, but it gives some interesting historical context. Israel can be viewed as a product of the British Empire.
