A Letter to John Spritzler #1
Why there shouldn’t be a “Jewish” Apartheid state
Dear John,
Many thanks for your bold and iconographic post, which I found extremely refreshing. It’s good that more and more are escaping the hellish Hamas/Israeli Fascism dialectic and are beginning to think outside of this nightmarish box. It’s time for a fundamental rethink. After all: why should we let this crisis go to waste?
You’re perfectly right: there shouldn’t be a “Jewish” state and especially not an Apartheid one! Any state that discriminates against its citizens on ethnic, racial or religious grounds is to be abhorred. Living in a woke world as we do and given that it’s long broken all imaginable rules of liberal, civilized or humane conduct, it’s astonishing that Israel has been tolerated for as long as it has. It’s time to end this looking askance at crimes against humanity, of ignoring egregious injustice and above all else: it’s time to stop this unhealthy overindulgence. Israel must be treated in the same way any other state is. It has to abide by certain rules. Genocide and the willful murder of women and children are simply unacceptable.
To escape any accusations of anti-Semitism, one has to clarify all of the above. The state of Israel is not a Jewish state, nor has it ever been one and nor has it ever sought to be one. It has always been a Zionist state and has always used Judaism as a means to its own, absurd and perfidious ends. This is not to say that there aren’t streams within Judaism which are favorable to Zionism. There are, regrettably, but these streams can be compared to Christian sects, heretics and even Satanists pretending to be Christians: ultimately, they have nothing to do with Judaism; indeed, they are the direct antithesis of it.
Society, according to the Talmud, is based upon truth, justice and peace, the exact opposite of what Zionism has ALWAYS been about.
According to Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro:
“Judaism is a religion and the Jewish people are its practitioners. So, if you don’t practice or believe in the religion, how can you be part of its people? It’s like someone claiming to be a Yankee fan without believing in the existence of the Yankees.”[1]
And again:
“Even though there indeed exist today people who do not believe in the Torah and still consider themselves Jewish, either because they have a different definition of “Jewish” or because they never thought much about the meaning of “Jewish” altogether, once upon a time it was clear to all Jews…that Judaism is a religion, and the Jewish people are a community defined solely by their mutual oneness with the Torah, and whose brotherhood is due solely to their all being the children of Hashem.”[2]
The answer to what went wrong is easy to find. In the 1860s the Illuminati/Freemason/Satanist Deep State started with its social and cultural engineering program of seeking to persuade Jews that they weren’t Jews at all but rather members of a “Jewish nation”. Nationalism was to replace Judaism and the new religion was baptized: Zionism. Instead of worshipping God they were, from now on, to worship the Golden Calf and to practice human sacrifice. This was the beginning of the road to the Holocaust, the Shoah, and to what is currently happening in Gaza.
In the 1860s Moses Hess wrote: “Judaism, in fact, like Christianity, would have to dissolve in consequence of the Enlightenment, if it were no more than a dogmatic religion, if it were not a national worship. The Jewish reformers, who still give their theatrical performances in some German communities, know so little about the importance of Judaism, that they are careful to eliminate everything that is reminiscent of the Jewish nationality from teaching and worship.”[3]
Instead of being a religion, Judaism was, for Hess, the starting point of a nationality: “As a matter of fact, Judaism, as a nationality, has a natural basis which cannot be supplanted by another as a creed. A Jew, according to his descent, always belongs to Judaism, regardless of whether he or his ancestors became apostates. – That may seem paradoxical to modern concepts of religion. In practice, at least, I have found this view proven. Even the baptized Jew remains a Jew, no matter how much he resists it. Today there is hardly any difference between the enlightened and the baptized.”[4]
The Holocaust seems eerily in keeping with Theodor Herzl’s apocalyptic vision: “Whoever can, will, and must perish, let him perish. But the distinctive nationality of the Jews neither can, will, nor must be destroyed…Whole branches of Judaism may whither and fall, but the trunk remains…”[5]
Herzl noted in his journal: “Anti-Semitism has grown and continues to grow — and so do I. I can still recall two different conceptions of the Question and its solution, which I had in the course of those years. About two years ago I wanted to solve the Jewish Question, at least in Austria, with the help of the Catholic Church. I wished to gain access to the Pope (not without first assuring myself of the support of the Austrian church dignitaries) and say to him: Help us against the anti-Semites and I will start a great movement for the free and honorable conversion of Jews to Christianity. Free and honorable by virtue of the fact that the leaders of this movement — myself in particular — would remain Jews and as such would propagate conversion to the faith of the majority. The conversion was to take place in broad daylight, Sundays at noon, in Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, with festive processions and amidst the pealing of bells. Not in shame, as individuals have converted up to now, but with proud gestures. And because the Jewish leaders would remain Jews, escorting the people only to the threshold of the church and themselves staying outside, the whole performance was to be elevated by a touch of great candor. We would still have adhered to the faith of our fathers. But we would have made Christians of our young sons before they reached the age of independent decision, after which conversion looks like an act of cowardice or careerism.”[6]
Later he wrote: “It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not wish to bring about the impoverishment of the countries that we leave. At first, they must not be given large fees for this; otherwise we shall spoil our instruments and make them despicable as ‘stooges of the Jews.’ Later their fees will increase, and in the end, we shall have only Gentile officials in the countries from which we have emigrated. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies. We want to emigrate as respected people.”[7]
This seems to be very much in keeping with what happened later. The Zionists acted on these ideas: “In 1921, Jabotinsky signed an agreement with Symon Petliura, a Ukrainian anti-Semite whose soldiers had carried out pogroms with tens of thousands of Jewish victims.”[8]
Not only did the Zionists act on these ideas before the war they also acted on them after the foundation of Israel. Thus, the Zionists helped foster anti-Semitism in the Middle East as a means of forcing the Sephardi or Mizrahim Jews to come to the “promised land”.[9]
Ella Habiba Shohat points out that: “Zionism claims to be a liberation movement for all Jews, and Zionist ideologists have spared no effort in their attempt to make the two terms ‘Jewish’ and ‘Zionist’ virtually synonymous. In fact, however, Zionism has been primarily a liberation movement for European Jews (and that, as we know, problematically) and more precisely for that tiny minority of European Jews actually settled in Israel. Although Zionism claims to provide a homeland for all Jews, that homeland was not offered to all with the same largess. Sephardi Jews were first brought to Israel for specific European-Zionist reasons, and once there they were systematically discriminated against by a Zionism which deployed its energies and material resources differentially, to the consistent advantage of European Jews and to the consistent detriment of Oriental Jews.”[10]
As she and Naeim Giladi make clear Ben Gurion, following Herzl’s concept adumbrated above, implemented the same strategy he’d implemented in Nazi Germany, and with equal success. Of course, some of the Mizrahi emigrated to Israel willingly but many didn’t.
Judaism is not a nation, as Shlomo Sand states unequivocally; nor can it ever be one. It is a religion.[11]
The fact that a “Jewish” national consciousness needed to be formed and that the army has always been the prime means of doing so, has meant that the IDF has always played a key role in Israeli society. It literally helps mold Israel. It also helps facilitate the discrimination against the Mizrahi by putting a lid on social tensions. This has been especially important in the last thirty years, as Israel has gone from being one of the countries with the highest degree of income equality to one of the ones with the greatest degree of income inequality in the world.[12]
War has made this possible and war is, indeed, perhaps the essential glue that holds the country together. Without it Israel would most probably fall apart and dissolve into civil war.
