9.44 Zionism
There is a lot of hatred of Zionism and Jews all over the world. This hatred is instigated by people who hate America and who view Israel as a colonialist ally of America. It is also instigated by a large percentage of Muslims many of whom hate the Jews who they believe killed Muhammad. These Muslims are taught from childhood that the Jews are evil and that the Jews stole their land. They fire rockets at Israel, they commit terrorist attacks including suicide attacks in Israeli schools, cafes and buses They store their weapons and fire them from mosques schools, homes and hospitals. Then when the Israelis shoot back they show pictures or videos to the world and tell heart wrenching stories of a mother or child who was killed by a bomb dropped by those evil Israelis, Israelis who endanger their own soldiers to protect Muslim civilians. These Muslims will tell the international press stories of so called Israeli cruelty and often the press repeats it as if it is true without confirming it. The Muslims who are trying to destroy Israel are making war on two fronts, war with missiles and guns and war with propaganda. There are many pages on this site that address this propaganda and that expose the lies but how do you know that I am not lying? How do you know who is telling the truth and who isn't? There are several ways to determine that, some of which are discussed in an article titled "Truth or Propaganda" that appeared in an online magazine called Logos. One way to determine what is true is to ask oneself who commits more terror around the world that has nothing to do with the Middle East. If, for example, Jews attack innocent Christians in Nigeria and innocent Hindus in India and innocent Christians in Iraq and other religious and ethnic groups in other countries and Muslims do not, that would suggest that the Jews are also responsible for violence in the Middle East. When we use this approach to finding who is to blame for the conflict in the Middle East we find that it is the Muslims, not the Jews who are engaged in violent conflicts with other groups all over the world. The Religion of Peace web site lists the atrocities of the week committed by Muslims and many have nothing to do with Israel. Here is a screen capture from today (August 19 2024) from the Religion of Peace web site.
The most persecuted group in the world is not the Muslims, it is the Jews who are persecuted by Muslims and often by non-Muslims. Many westerners rationalize that Muslim persecution of Jews is resistance against oppression and Muslim propagandists want them to believe this because it makes them look like heroic freedom fighters instead of as the terrorists they are. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam said "I have been made victorious by terror" and many Muslims follow his example. To test whether the Jews are oppressing Muslims statement is truth or propaganda we can look at whether Jews or Muslims oppress other groups. If we have knowledge of history we would know that Muslim killed over 400 million Hindus. We'd know that Muslims enslaved Europeans, Africans and Americans. We'd know about the rape gangs in Britain and Islamic violence against the infidel all over the world, We'd know how Muslims are starving hundreds of thousands of children in Somalia.
In the video below you can see an example of Muslims indoctrinating children in Australia to hate Israel. You also hear about intimidation of college students and preventing of pro-Israel voices from speaking. These Muslims don't want people to know the truth about the Middle East. They have been very successful in indoctrinating ignorant Westerners and children to hate Israel and to think Islam is good.
My position is that contrary to what Muslims would have you believe, Zionism is good, not evil. It is the desire of Muslims to destroy Israel that is evil. So what is Zionism? Dr. Mijal Bitton explains what Zionism really is in the paragraph below:
According to many of the protesters, Zionism is a settler-colonialist Jewish supremacist movement akin to Nazism and dedicated to the displacement of Palestinians. But for most of us American Jews, Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to self-determination in their historical homeland. At the heart of this Zionism is the security in having at least one place in the world that never closes its doors to displaced and oppressed Jews. This Zionism is dedicated to fighting for an Israel that is liberal and democratic and also holds hope for dignity, rights and freedoms for Palestinians.
Anita Friedman, a Zionist leader in the United States was shocked after seeing the hatred expressed by rioters on American campuses. She wrote that:
As the head of a large international Zionist organization, I can only be shocked that the centers of academia have become the centers of ignorance. Because what is “Zionism”? It is the aspiration that one country in the world be a safe place for Jews. But not only that: Zionism is the hope for a tolerant and accepting place, where a democratic, egalitarian, open society exists, an island of light and freedom in a region of oppression and violence.
Israel is a tiny home for Jews that have been persecuted all over the world. The following video shows Israel giving a new home to Jews fleeing antisemitism in France.
Arabs bent on destroying Israel even though the Muslims occupy land that is vastly greater than the tiny homeland of the Jews.
Instead of being able to work their farms and their businesses, Israeli fathers and sons have to go off to war to defend their tiny country against the vast Muslim world. In the video below a little boy tells what it is like trying to take care of the family farm while his father is defending Israel.
You can help the boy in this video and others by donating at https://saveafarmfund.org/. A great way to understand what Zionism is, is to learn the history of Zionism. There is a terrific interesting web site full of videos about the history of Zionism that you can see by clicking on the flag below.
