It shows that the Israeli ruling class of billionaires and generals and politicians, and the earlier leaders of the movement to create a Jewish state in Palestine, have had, from the days of the Holocaust to the present, utter contempt for the welfare of ordinary Jews. These leaders have not only betrayed the Jews they claim to defend against anti-Semitism, sabotaged rescue efforts of Jews during the Holocaust and now carry out ethnic cleansing of non-Jews (Palestinians) solely in order to make Palestinians serve as a bogeyman enemy with which to frighten Jews into submission to the Jewish billionaires who oppress and exploit them. The real conflict regarding Israel/Palestine is not between anti-Semites versus those opposed to anti-Semitism; it is between the vast majority of ordinary people--Jews and non-Jews alike--who want society to be based on equality and mutual aid, versus privileged and powerful ruling elites (Jewish and non-Jewish both) who want to strength their power over ordinary people with Orwellian wars of social control that pit people against each other along religious/ethnic lines.
Israeli government violence against Palestinians is for the purpose of OPPRESSING ORDINARY ISRAELI JEWS. Israeli violence against Palestinians is designed to make the Palestinians hate Israel and thus be a bogeyman enemy that the billionaire rulers of Israel pretend to protect Israeli Jews from and thereby control and severely economically oppress and get rich off of the Israeli Jewish working class.
The Zionist ruling class from the outset have had an anti-Jewish anti-working class goal. During the Holocaust they betrayed ordinary Jews by opposing efforts to rescue them from the Nazis because those rescue efforts didn't advance the goal of creating the Jewish state they wanted more than saving Jewish lives. Read the proof of this based on mainstream including Jewish sources at https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/why-really-zionist-leaders-have-always?r=1iggn .
Israel for decades has funded Hamas and worked to keep it in power (still today!) to make the bogeyman enemy maximally frightening. Read the proof of this based on mainstream sources at https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-funds-hamas-keeps-it-in-power .
If one wants to be on the side of ordinary Jews instead of billionaire Jews, then one should oppose the Jewish state idea, just as one would oppose the idea of a White state if one is on the side of ordinary and not billionaire white people. I prove this at https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/there-should-not-be-a-jewish-state?r=1iggn .
Hamas is also controlled by billionaires and oppresses ordinary Palestinians in Gaza as shown at https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/hamas-leaders-are-billionaires-who?r=1iggn . Hamas got votes not because Palestinians want an Islamic theocracy but because Hamas was less corrupt than the alternative Palestine Authority, and pretended to be fighting Israel militantly.
Many thanks! As an anti-Zionist Jew it doesn't take much effort to learn that historically Zionism was opposed by many Jewish individuals and organisations and for good reasons which still apply today. I am a member of https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ and on X I follow @NetureiKarta who as religious Jews have been demonstrating constantly not only against the Gaza genocide but against the Zionist State itself; they have cordial relations with the leaders of Iran who assure them the struggle is not against Jews but against Zionism.
As Whitney Webb wrote some years ago, many - perhaps most - Zionists are not Jewish, especially in the US.
What you write reminds me very much of Apartheid South Africa. From 1970-74 I taught Sociology at the University of Zambia where my Head of Department was Jack Simons, born in South Africa in 1907. He and his wife Ray were left-wing South African exiles, the authors of "Class and Colour in South Africa, 1850-1950". Ray - Rachel Ester Alexandrowich - was born in Latvia in 1913 and was part of the sizeable contingent of socialist Jews who migrated to South Africa from Latvia and Lithuania.
After the end of Apartheid Jack and Ray Simons returned to Cape Town where they died in 1995 and 2004.
Thank you for this. This article makes it clear exactly why peace is the last thing in the world that the zionist ruling class wants https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-s-government-attacks-jews-to
