The true believer is in a high degree protected against the danger of
certain neurotic afflictions; by accepting the universal neurosis he
is spared the task of forming a personal neurosis. - Sigmund Freud
Zionism, Racism and anti-Semitism
The modern definition of 'racist' is someone who is winning an
argument with a liberal. - Peter Brimelow
A tragic mistake that is common to any discussion on politics is that
racism is bad. The dictionary clearly states that racism is: "the
notion that one's own ethnic stock is superior", and "discrimination
or prejudice based on racism". Now consider for a moment the merits
or the flaws in this definition. Ethnic groups regularly take pride
in their heritage and traditions. Many view their culture to be
preferred to others. Most classify others as different to them and
seek to bond with their own kind. And when conflict develops between
their own people and another ethnic crowd, ranks close within your
own. This is a natural outcome of the human condition that has
existed from the beginning of civilized community.
Zionism is a political movement. To equate motives of politics with a
religious belief is specious. Judaism is NOT equivalent to Zionism.
The distinction is imperative if a correct understanding of
relationships and actions, in the Middle East, are to be appreciated.
A Zionist often professes their acceptance of the tenants of the
Jewish faith, but a 'true believer' in the supremacy and
survivability of a political state, can and frequently are non-
believers to Judaism and the Torah. This is crucial, because it is
not a condition of political allegiance to share faith in Yahweh.
So far, there should be little argument with these distinctions. But Jews are a race,
with very similar characteristic, genetic traits, social and cultural heritage, and a
homogeneous ethnic similitude. This is a historic
fact that should not be denied. No inference, good or bad, is being made as some may
conclude. Surely, one can convert to the Jewish religion from a non Semitic lineage,
but that begs the real issue. Racism as practiced
by Zionist towards their Arab Semitic half brothers is undeniable. But is such
behavior unnatural or even wrong? Of course the answer lies within which group one
identifies with and has sympathy for their cause.
It should be indisputable that the political interests for the Zionist are
diametrically opposite to that of the Palestine. So why should anyone be surprised
when ruthless and savage animosity continues to play out with e
ach successive generation? This is the natural order at work, and is inevitable as
long as the fallen nature of man awaits for the return of the Messiah.
At this point, having been tutored and educated as a Catholic, who now freely accepts
the fundamental tenets of St. Paul, I must part company with my Jewish friends on
matters of faith. Should the Hebrew faithful view me
as one among their ranks? Of course not. Nor should I consider them one within my
circle of believers. Since it is a fact that the Jews could have prevented the
crucifixion of Christ when Pilot appealed to the crowd, some
will insist that statement may be anti-Semitic. Quite to the contrary! And more to
the point, that remonstrance attitude is a political denunciation more than a
religious condemnation.
My many Jewish friends have every right to identify with those that profess their
beliefs. Likewise, so do people of the Christian faith have that same right. But when
we transverse into the political arena, away from dif
ferences in faith, we enter into the realm of interests. Zionist have interests that
are quite different from mine. Certainly my advocacy of 'America First' policies
don't support theirs. Interests could coincide at time
s, but more likely have different paths.
When people foster the theme of continuous Jewish suffering and persecution, they
abandon their own interests for one of false guilt, which most have never earned. This
emotional appeal benefits the Zionist and their poli
tical objectives. Conversely, those who reject the manipulations of Zionist
propaganda, all too often resent those of Jewish faith. Such mistakes from all sides
breeds only negative indignation.
Compounding this confusion with label of left or right just deepens the errors. What
matters is your interest. What possible benefit has America received from the
perpetual three billion dollar yearly tribute paid to Isra
el? Add a like amount to Egypt and you come away with a feeling of being robbed. Again
where is our interest being served?
Ill will for any or all the participants within the cauldron of continuous turmoil in
the Middle East is not our wish. But political support that runs against our benefit
is insane. Pragmatic economics would seek to make
friends with those who control the oil. But we all know that domestic realities shape
foreign politics, and seldom is decided upon that which is best for America. So when
will we practice our own form of racism to further
our own political interests?
When the corner stone for the Third Temple is finally laid, we all know that our
political intervention is meaningless, for events will be fulfilled. Jews and Arabs
will never peacefully settle their differences. Zionist
understand this reality all too well. So does the Arab world. The United States, once
again, involves herself in another futile quagmire that only benefits others, while
this foolish intrusion only weakens our own securit
y. For those who continually cry anti-Semitism, our reply is we all come from the same
seed. We all worship the same God, but we have different political interests.
The Zionist has all too often abandoned their own religion for the
same secular humanism that has sickened our Nation. The Orthodox are
consistent and strive to achieve ardent behavior to their faith. The
likes of Minister Louis Farrakhan are more sincere for their religion
than the ADL is for their creed. In the end we all have the same
nature. But we are different because of our ethnic history. Starting
by realistically dealing with this truth is not being an evil racist.
A rebuff to Zionism does not make one anti-Semitic. And refusing to
accept any culpability for the feuds of others, does not lesson our
humanity. It is time to cut our losses as well as our costs. Cain
killed his brother. The Tower of Babel caused the differences. And
many more Abel's are resigned to take their revenge. Peace will only
come with the Second Coming. Let's hope that our fellow Semites will
hear the call.
