[wvns] Joachim Martillo: Revisiting "Anti-Semitism"

Revisiting "Anti-Semitism"
Joachim Martillo - thorsprovoni @ aol.com

Because Zionists and their supporters accuse anyone critical of
Israel or Zionism as anti-Semitic, revisiting the meaning of the
terms "anti-Semitism" and "Jew" is worthwhile.

Who are the Jews?

Arabic uses Yahudi in the Quranic sense of a certain religious
community that follows the Tawrat (Torat) Musa (Moshe). Ethnic
Ashkenazim historically have used the words Jew, Yid (Yiddish) or
Yehudi (Hebrew) to mean ethnic Ashkenazi. Zionists use Yehudi to
refer to a mythic pan-Judaic ethnonational Volk that has a blood and
soil right to Palestine.

In point of fact, ethnic Ashkenazim constitute an indigenous Eastern
European ethnic group most of whose recent ancestors at one time
practiced modern Rabbinic Judaism. They have precisely the same
mythological scriptural Biblical connection to Palestine that ethnic
Poles have. Ethnic Ashkenazim have no ancestral connection
whatsoever to the ancient Roman-period Judeans or Galileans of
Palestine. Those ancient populations practiced a very different
religion, spoke a very different language -- Modern Israeli Hebrew
is very unlike Roman period Palestinian Aramaic -- and had a very
different culture.

Modern Palestinians are descendants of ancient Judeans and Galileans
while Ethnic Ashkenazim are the descendants of various Eastern
European, Balkan and Southern Russian populations that began to
practice various forms of Judean religion since the Hellenistic
period. Most Palestinians practice Islam, which is a slightly
evolved version of ancient Christian-Judaism, a hybrid religion that
was common in Palestine throughout the 2nd-7th century and that was
probably predominant in the area during the 3rd century. Modern
Rabbinic Judaism developed much later for the most part outside of
Palestine and has very little resemblance to the religion that Jesus
practiced.

In other words, ethnic Ashkenazim have no legitimate claim to
Palestine whatsoever even though the name of their ancestral
religion has an etymological connection to the geographical term
Judea. Likewise, Irish are for the most part Roman Catholics, but
they have no legitimate claims to Rome. If Irish seized Rome and
treated the native Roman population as Eastern European ethnic
Ashkenazim treated (and treat) the native population of Palestine,
we would call such Irish invaders murderous genocidal thieves and
interlopers.

Religious Ashkenazim have the same sort of relationship to Arab Jews
that religious Poles (Roman Catholics) have to religious Sicilians
(also Roman Catholics).

In short, Zionism is a complete scam that justifies theft and
murder. Zionist colonizers and racist Ashkenazi Americans are
conning patriotic Americans into supporting Zionist crimes.

What is Anti-Semitism?

Despite the claims of the ethnic Ashkenazi anti-Gentile and anti-
Catholic pogrom and persecution polemic, there is no uniform
phenomena of Judeophobia over the last two millennia. Racist
Ashkenazim have fabricated the idea of universal anti-Semitism to
justify contempt and abusive practices both against non-Jews in
Central and Eastern Europe and also against the native population in
Palestine, the whole Levant, the entire Middle East and the whole
Islamic world.

Instances of various forms of Judeophobia are completely explicable
in the larger historical context. For instance, racist Ashkenazim
like to rant about the mistreatment of German Jews during the wars
of the Reformation. Pseudoscholars that express this sort of
nonsense invariably neglect to mention that at this time period
German Catholics and German Protestants were slaughtering one
another mercilessly. In this context the situation of German Jews
was good by comparison. In fact, German Jews as unbelievers were
trading with both sides. In war time such an activity was
inherently suspicious especially because some German Jewish
merchants were trading in intelligence.

Real anti-Semitism is a very specific phenomenon of the late 19th
century and early twentieth century. It attempts to justify hatred
of Jews as Jews on the basis of pseudoscientific biological
determinist, social Darwinist, economic Darwinist or religious
Darwinist principles. This type of hatred was mostly confined to
Central and Eastern Europe and simply does not exist today to any
meaningful extent.

The Legitimacy of Hating Racist Ashkenazi Americans and Zionist
Colonizers

In 1947-8 racist Eastern European Zionist colonizers stole and
ethnically cleansed Palestine in an orgy of genocidal aggressive
violence. Since 1948 racist Zionist colonizers have maintained
their control of stolen Palestine (the territory of the State of
Israel) through aggressive genocidal violence and have extended
their murderous control beyond the lands seized in 1947-8 to occupy
the rest of Palestine and to further oppress and abuse the native
population. Racist ethnic Ashkenazim throughout the world (and
especially ethnic Ashkenazim in the USA at 90% levels according to
AJC statistics) identify with Zionist colonizers. Racist ethnic
Ashkenazi Americans use their influence to support Zionist crimes
and to thwart attempts to sanction the criminal Zionist state that
controls both stolen and occupied Palestine.

Naturally, all Arabs, Muslims and any human being committed to
justice and decency hate and despise the racist Zionist colonizers
in Palestine as well as their racist ethnic Ashkenazi American
supporters in the USA. Such hatred is not anti-Semitism because the
hatred is the natural response to the murder and mayhem that
Zionists or racist Ashkenazi Americans either commit or support.
Decent people hate Zionist colonizers and racist Ashkenazi Americans
not because of what they are but because of what they do. Hating
Zionist colonizers and racist Ashkenazi Americans today is exactly
comparable to hating Nazi Germans for abusing Jews and dissenters
within Germany during the 1930s and for invading and colonizing
Eastern Europe in 1939. (Of course, all decent and patriotic
Americans should esteem and honor all Ashkenazi Americans that as
true loyal Americans reject and condemn Zionism categorically and
without reservation.)

The Apologetics of Zionism

Apologists for Zionism and the State of Israel typically make two
arguments that should disgust all patriotic Americans.

They argue that Americans should ignore the crimes of Israeli
Zionists because there are many evils in the world, and some of them
might be more serious than the crimes that Zionists commit. Slobodan
Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler would not
have faulted such logic.

This specious and hypocritical contention was common in the 1850s
public debate over American slavery, and revisiting the politics of
the Abolitionist movement is relevant to any discussion of the State
of Israel.

Zionism is a form of violent state sponsored racism that is exactly
analogous to American slavery. Slavers stole Africans by means of
terrorism, aggression and force. Slavers maintained slavery by
means of terrorism, aggression and force. Racist Eastern European
Zionists stole Palestine from the native population by means of
terrorism, aggression and force. Racist Israeli Zionists hold
stolen Palestine by means of terrorism, aggression and force.

Southern slavers might have asked why abolitionists in Maine,
Vermont and New Hampshire worried about slavery in the South when
serfdom existed in imperial Russia. Antislavery Northerners could
reply as anti-Zionist Americans can today that American policy and
law have made them complicit in slavery then and in Zionism today.
When the State of Israel commits mass murder, ethnic cleansing and
genocide (according to the definition of Rafael Lemkin), the
alliance between the USA and Israel renders every American a co-
conspirator just as The Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred Scott
Supreme Court decision forced every single American to support
slavery. Just as every American before the Civil War was
contaminated with the evil of slavery, every American today has been
contaminated with the evil of Zionism. All patriotic Americans have
a categorical ethical imperative to oppose, denounce and combat
Zionism in every way possible.

Because the first Zionist argument is so weak and so morally
repugnant, defenders of Zionism attempt to distract readers from its
flaws by combining it with the second proposition that identifying
Zionism as a form of Nazism is simply an illegitimate political
tactic and an expression of anti-Semitism.

Nazism is a fairly well defined ideology that combines extremist
organic nationalism, ethnic fundamentalism, blood-and-soil
nationalism, scientific racism, economic racism, primordialism,
biological determinism, social Darwinism, collectivism, anti-
individualism, populism and contempt for the bourgeoisie with
undemocratic politics that may be cloaked by formal democratic
procedures. Most Central and Eastern European ethnic groups
developed their own forms of Nazism during the late 19th or early
20th century.

Even though determining whether Zionism is a form of Nazism should
be a straightforward matter of scholarship, Zionists and their
supporters want patriotic Americans to reject a priore the
possibility that Zionism is an ethnic Ashkenazi form of Nazism. In
other words, of all Eastern European ethnic groups, Ashkenazim are
somehow incapable of being Nazis. Ethnic Ashkenazi chauvinists
believe that Jews are somehow ethically superior to all non-Jews.
This idea belongs to the traditional Ashkenazi anti-gentile polemic.
While this bigoted belief predates Zionism by several hundred years,
it is in fact very similar to the German Nazi idea that Aryans are
superior to all non-Aryans.

It is a short step from the racist Ashkenazi belief in Jewish
ethical superiority to the racist assertion that Jewish historical,
ethnic, or national rights to Palestine are superior to the human
rights of Palestinians.

Zionist writers like Herzl, Nordau, Jabotinsky, Borochov, Ben Tzvi,
Smolenskin, Pinsker, Ben-Gurion, Arlosoroff, Gordon, Buber et. al.
extended such racist Ashkenazi thinking into a complete political
ideology. By 1914, Zionists developed a complete system of Nazi
thought that anticipated every idea found in Hitler's Mein Kampf
with the obvious ethnic substitutions. Any genuine and honest
political scientist that has studied and compared German Nazism and
Zionism must conclude that Zionism is Ashkenazi Nazism.

In its purest form German Nazism is the assertion that Aryans have
the right to plunder and kill non-Aryans. In its purest form
Ashkenazi Nazism or Zionism is the assertion that Jews have the
right to plunder and kill non-Jews. There is no genuine difference
between German Nazi and Zionist thinking.

No patriotic American committed to fundamental American principles
of democracy, antiracism and human rights can support the alliance
between the USA and Zionist Israel. Any American that sympathizes
with Zionism or the State of Israel betrays fundamental American
ideals and is a traitor to the USA in thought if not indeed.

Zionists and their supporters often babble rather incoherently that
the State of Israel received legitimacy in 1948 because of the
Holocaust. Not only does the idea that the Holocaust confers
legitimacy to Zionism violate causality because Ashkenazi Nazism
originated about 50 years before the German Nazi mass murder of
Jews, but most seven year olds understand that two wrongs do not
make a right.

When Zionists claim that world conferred legitimacy in 1948, they
are usually referring to the 1947 UN partition proposal. The
General Assembly passed it

because Truman had no problem with sacrificing the human rights of
Palestinians to his quest for the votes of ethnic Ashkenazi
Americans in the 1948 presidential election and
because the UN was dominated by Western powers that had not yet
renounced colonialist racism.
Political expediency and plain racism do not legitimize injustice.
The UN partition proposal was completely illegitimate. It violated
UN principles and was simply wrong like Dred Scott.

If Zionists believe that Zionism and the State of Israel are so
clearly based in right and justice, they should support an open
discussion and national plebiscite in the USA to address whether it
makes any sense on ideological, ethical, or pragmatic grounds for
the USA to support Zionism and the State of Israel. When racist
ethnic Ashkenazim rant incoherently about anti-Semitism to squelch
debate, there is reason to suspect that their commitment to racist
ethnic Ashkenazi tribalism transcends their loyalty to American
principles of free discourse.

The issue of Palestine is simply an ethical nobrainer

Zionism is racist because it presupposes that the ethnic, national
or historical rights of Jews to Palestine are superior to the human
rights of the native population. That is racism plain and simple.
Racist Eastern European colonists stole the country from the native
population.
Their crime spans 3 centuries.
Zionists have not changed their song and dance since the 1890s when
Herzl was arguing that the Jewish settlement could serve as a
colonial surrogate population for the British Empire. Israeli
spokesman, American Zionists and Neocons argue that the State of
Israel should serve the same role in an American Imperium today.

I am not going to banter with trivialities. Palestinians are the
native population of Palestine.

Racist Eastern Europeans colonized Palestine and stole it.

All the textual, historical, archeological, and linguistic data
indicates that Ashkenazim are an indigenous Eastern European
population with practically no ancestral connection to Palestine
(just like other Eastern Europeans) while Palestinians are the
descendants of the Greco-Roman Judean population of Palestine.
Zionists merely justify their crimes in the way that German Racists
and Nazis justified their crimes by mythological primordialist
nonsense. But suppose Ashkenazim were descended from Greco-Roman
Judeans of some sort (at least 3/4s of Greco-Roman Judeans lived
outside Palestine). So what? Vienna was founded 2000 years ago by
Celts. Do the modern Irish have a legitimate claim to the modern
city?

Zionism in the 21st century is the ethical equivalent of Slavery in
the 19th century.

Racist Eastern Europeans stole Palestine by means of force,
terrorism, aggression, murder and violence. Slavers stole Africans
out of the homes by means of force, terrorism, aggression, murder
and violence.

Racist Zionist colonizers hold onto the country that they stole by
means of force, terrorism, aggression, murder and violence. Slavery
was maintained by means of force, terrorism, aggression, murder and
violence.

Categorical opposition to Zionism is the defining issue of peace and
justice in the 21st century. 300 million Arabs, 1.2 billion Muslims,
most of Europe, the Far East and Latin American cannot take any
American seriously when he asserts a commitment to peace and justice
unless he demands the eradication of Zionism in the ME just as
Abolitionists demanded the categorical and unequivocal eradication
of slavery.

Anyone that supports or is willing to tolerate Zionism is a racist.
Racist American Zionists, Neocons, and Apocalyptic Evangelical
Fundamentalists have formed an alliance against peace and justice on
the basis of commitment to the maintenance of a racist Zionist
colony in Palestine. When I watch how this alliance is driving the
USA to betray fundamental American principles, I consider this
alliance and Zionist/Neocon subversion a menace to me as an
American.

The house is divided between two irreconcilable ideologies. One
ideology is committed to American ideals, peace, justice, democracy
and human rights; the other supports racist, genocidal,
undemocratic, colonialism in ME and will destroy the fundamental
principles of the USA to maintain the Zionist colony. A house so
divided cannot stand.

Within 30 years we Americans will fight a civil war on this issue.

By American standards terrorism against Israelis is completely
justified, for Israelis are the ethical equivalent of antebellum
Southerners and Slavers. Just think Nat Turner or John Brown. Any
Zionist colonizer that does not actively fight against Zionism is
complicit and shares guilt by American standards.
