Obama's post-tribalism is opening doors all over Jewish life for ecstatic idealism rather than the murderous logic of Israeli expansion. And suddenly this website is part of a new wave in Jewish life! The eight Jews affiliated with the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network who shut down the Israeli consulate in LA last week have issued a statement about their action. It is bracing for its unapologetic support of the right of return and acceptance of the fact of ethnic cleansing and for its call on non-Jews to get into the water. Says Eric Romann:
We, better than any, know that criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic — however much its supporters may claim that it is. We hope that our saying so will make people of all races and religions more willing and able to speak out against Israel's crimes.
The basic Zionist idea — that Jewish safety can be secured only through a state built on the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people — is ultimately responsible for the violence of the conflict. It promises permanent war for the people of the region, while fomenting animosity towards Jews worldwide.
A lasting peace can be achieved, but only by upholding basic principles of justice. That is, by granting Palestinian people their individual and collective rights guaranteed under international law. This includes Israel's complete withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967 and the right of return for several million Palestinian refugees displaced through the wars of 1948 and 1967.
Martin Luther King wrote that justice is indivisible, that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Freedom and Justice transcend any tribal identities, be they Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, or non-believer.
The "long proud history of jewish social justice" is basically a history of economic, racial, religious and nationalist shit-stirring, usually conducted on behalf of overseas potentates who want the countries concerned weakened or destabilised.
What, pray, is "ecstatic idealism"? Is it defined in any of the textbooks?
By the way, in relation to my earlier point about jewish control of the so-called 'mainstream u.s.-based global mass media", let me stress that the real secret weapons of the jewish nazi world supremacists are not JTA and the Forward, but Reuters and AP, both of which are as rabid as the worst of the blatant jews uber alles outfits, but undeclared.
"When the horizontal meets the vertical they sometimes form a cross." John Williams, The Troubadour, London, GB. 1974?
horizontal = Rowan Berkeley
vertical = Richard Witty.
A cross, is a cross, is a burden. A burden is tiresome.
sorry, Leander, but your fatigue is your own personal problem, not ours.
regarding the jewish control of the mass media, may I recall the analogy of the parasite that takes over the nervous system of the host? I believe, Leander, this analogy would have won considerable acceptance in Germany immediately before Hitler's election, and for good reason. It is most unpleasant to find your nervous system (i.e., your mass media of communication) physically and psychically occupied by predatory parasites, it really is – whether they claim to be politically left, right or centre, or to be religious or secular, nationalist or internationalist, etc etc etc, all busily trying to brainwash you into identifying your own interests with their particular predatory jewish faction, know what I mean?
I mean, a lot of the most seriously evil zionist-supremacist hate-propaganda comes straight from Reuters, you gotta admit that.
LOL. Amusing. LeaNder and Rowan, two lefties fighting it out over the Jews. LeaNder is the left-feminist brainwashed German Judeophile “anti-Zionst” who reflexively sides with the Jews (as a fellow “persecuted” minority) in any contest between a Jew and a non-Jewish white man; and Rowan is the more authentic anti-Zionist leftists who refuses to see how organized Jewry has made useful idiots out of his kind for decades, just as it has LeaNder’s.
Isn’t it obvious by now how easily cohesive, supremacist organized Jewish Zionism makes fools out of communists, left-liberals, capitalists and other dialectical materialist moral jelly fish — to the extent that it is actually able to co-opt them on its own behalf?
Only Christianity, Western (Christian) civilization (including the Founders’ Christian deism) and Islam have demonstrated any success in warding off organized Jewry’s treachery — because the former are all anti-Jewish by nature in that they have moral scruples on behalf of general humanity, as opposed to organized Jewry, which is only concerned with its own prosperity and interests.
Communism, Capitalism, left-liberalism and all other dialectical materialist belief systems, similar to organized Jewry, only FEIGN concern for the general plight of humanity. But in the end, their elites only care about themselves, and their adherents follow suit.
Rowan is right. A Jewish Social Justice chapter could properly be included in the Six Secret Teachings as a complement to the Civil Offensive and the Three Doubts chapters.
anyway, as it happens, I am a Muslim. so there.
We, better than any, know that criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic — What a ridiculous comment. What is it supposed to mean ? Last week the German courts ruled that it was perfectly possible for Jews to make anti-Semitic remarks about other Jews, so why should these people claim that they are especially privileged ? And as for the suggestion that criticising Israel is NOT anti-Semitic, be very careful. Take a look at Frank Furedi's piece in the current issue of Prospect. The world is changing very, very fast, so fast, indeed, that some on the left are beginning to sound like flat-earthers. Which is precisely what they have in common with their opposite numbers on the right.
