Question:
Does the 1964 Palestinian National Charter (PNC) deny Jewish ties to the land?
Answer:
The question is simply rigged. If one answers yes or no in the beginning of one’s answer, one falls into the trap set by a Zionist. This is how to correctly answer it.
The PNC’s 20th article explains very well that:
“Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood. Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.”[1]
This is confirmed by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, who said in November 2023:
“We are only united by the Torah. That’s it. Nothing else unites us. If you remove the Torah from the Jewish people, there’s no difference between the Jews and anybody else… Every single country in the world is the country of their citizens.”[2]
In other words, one cannot make the claim to be tied to a land based on a religion. A Caucasian from Finland who becomes a Buddhist does not suddenly have ties to India, and then can claim a piece of its land, whence the religion came.
Question:
Did Zionists resettle in the land Palestine
from which they were exiled?
Answer:
No.
They were never exiled because they never were there in the first place. Therefore, Zionists cannot resettle somewhere they never were. They either migrated to or invaded Palestine.
Indeed, Zionism was founded, or organized, in 1897 when the first Zionist congress took place in Switzerland.[3] Zionism is a political movement, not a nationality or ethnicity, and it is composed of mostly so-called Jews and Christians, who are not indigenous to or originally from the land of Palestine. President Joseph “Joe” Biden asserts he is an avowed Zionist.[4]
Do not automatically equate “Zionist” with “Jew” or vice versa.
Question:
Are the people protesting with Palestinian
flags actually participating in anti-Israel protests?
Answer:
No.
A lot of Zionists and Zionist-controlled media will label protests as “anti-Israel protests.” This label is a deception to pose Israel as a victim when Israel is in reality the oppressor and occupier of the Palestinian people for more than 75 years as a State, and even more through Zionist terrorism prior to 1948.
Instead of “anti-Israel protests,” honest media would label the demonstrations “protests for justice for the Palestinian people,” as made evident by the protests by Israelis who denounce, for instance, settler attacks on Palestinians.[5]
Question:
Was the Intifada responsible for thousands of
deaths of Jews and Palestinians?
Answer:
This is another deceptive question, and the answer is No.
Just like the October 7th, 2023, incident with Hamas and Israel, the Intifada of 1987 did not happen in a vacuum with Palestinians suddenly and savagely rising up against the peaceable Israelis, a common, widespread myth. Let us remember that the Zionists illegally founded Israel in 1948 after years of Jewish extremist massacres of the indigenous Arab people of Palestine; Jewish extremist bombings (birth of modern terrorism) of Palestine’s inhabitants, homes, land, farms, and businesses; the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians; and even a famous false-flag operation that was the last straw for the British military occupation: the King David Hotel Bombing.[6] These Jewish attacks and expropriations as well as the displacement and colonization of the Palestinian people did not stop in 1948 after Israel’s self-inauguration as a State.
One needs to go to the root of a conflict and not take a single event out of context, a known ploy by the Zionists to pose themselves as victims.
Question:
Is “From the river to the sea” a call to violence or genocide?
Answer:
No. It may be a confusing slogan, but it is not a call for violence or genocide.
A plausible explanation of why Zionists associate the slogan with a call for violence and even genocide of “the Jews” is the psychological concept of projection. Zionist Jews are projecting what is in their subconscious (or, for some, conscious) mind onto the Palestinians. In other words, they are judging Palestinians based on how they (the Zionists) would act if the tables were turned (and based on what they have intended for and indeed have already inflicted on their Palestinian victims). Who would or could deny the evidence that Israelis have been removing Palestinians from the river to the sea since 1948?
It is very important to remember what Nobel Peace Prize-winner and Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin (real name Yitzhak Rubitzov but his father changed the Ukrainian last name to Rabin) said about Gaza:
“I would like Gaza to sink into the sea, but that won’t happen, and a solution must be found.”[7]
It is also noteworthy that the plan of Zionists is to take over from the Nile (in Egypt) to the Euphrates (in Iraq) and fulfill their vision of “The Greater Israel.”[8]
You will notice that Zionists and Zionist-controlled Media usually omit “Palestine will be free” in the “From the river to the sea” chant.
Sheryl Nestel, a Jewish woman, is a retired University of Toronto professor and a member of the advocacy group Independent Jewish Voices Canada, among other groups. She said:
“One of the problems with the criticism of the slogan is that it imputes genocidal intent to Palestinians, and there’s no evidence that the majority of Palestinians want to eliminate Jews from historical Palestine.”[9]
It would be more precise if her quote stated “Zionists” instead of “Jews,” since the Palestinian National Council made that distinction. In any case, the essence of her quote is correct: there is no evidence of genocidal intent, falsely imputed by Zionists to Palestinians and those who use that slogan.
However, we can find plenty of genocidal intentions from the Zionist side these recent days, for some of the founders or planners of Israel had in mind to destroy the Arabs’ presence through force.
“Thus we conclude that we cannot promise anything to the Arabs of the Land of Israel or the Arab countries. Their voluntary agreement is out of the question. Hence those who hold that an agreement with the natives is an essential condition for Zionism can now say “no” and depart from Zionism. Zionist colonization, even the most restricted, must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population — an iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy.”[10]
—Vladimir Jabotinsky, “The Iron Wall” (1923)
“We must do everything to ensure they [the Palestinians] never do return!”[11]
— David Ben-Gurion, July 18, 1948
“…we should prepare to go to the offensive with the aim of smashing Lebanon, Transjordan, and Syria…The weak point in the Arab coalition is Lebanon [for] the Moslem regime is artificial and easy to undermine. A Christian state should be established, with its southern border on the Litani river [within Lebanon]. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the [Arab] Legion’s strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria, and Cairo.”[12]
— David Ben-Gurion, May 1948
“We must expel the Arabs and take their places…. And, if we have to use force—not to dispossess the Arabs of the Negev and Transjordan, but to guarantee our own right to settle in those places—then we have force at our disposal.”[13]
—David Ben-Gurion, commenting on Britain’s Peel Commission Partition Plan in 1937
“[I]t must be clear that there is no room in the country for both [Arab and Jewish] peoples….If the [Palestinian] Arabs leave it, the country will become wide and spacious for us….The only solution [after the end of WW II] is a Land of Israel, at least a western land of Israel [i.e. Palestine since Transjordan is the eastern portion], without [Palestinian] Arabs. There is no room here for compromises… There is no way but to transfer the [Palestinian] Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer all of them, save perhaps for [the Palestinian Arabs of] Bethlehem, Nazareth, and the old Jerusalem. Not one village must be left, not one [Bedouin] tribe. The transfer must be directed at Iraq, Syria, and even Transjordan [eastern portion of Eretz Yisrael]. For this goal funds will be found… And only after this transfer will the country be able to absorb millions of our brothers and the Jewish problem will cease to exist. There is no other solution.”[14]
—Yosef Weitz, December 20, 1940
“Our army is steadily conquering [Palestinian] Arab villages and their inhabitants afraid and fleeing like mice. You have no idea what happened in the [Palestinian] Arab villages. It is enough that during the night several shells will whistle over them and they flee for their lives. Villages are steadily emptying, and if we continue on this course—and we shall certainly do so as our strength increases—then villages will empty of their inhabitants.”[15]
—Yosef Weitz, April 21, 1948
“Using the moral yardstick mentioned by [Moshe Sharett], I must ask: Are [we justified] in opening fire on the[Palestinian] Arabs who cross [the border] to reap the crops they planted in our territory: they, their women, and their children? Will this stand up to moral scrutiny…? We shoot at those from among the 200,000 hungry [Palestinian] Arabs who cross the line [to graze their flocks]—will this stand up to moral review? Arabs cross to collect the grain that they left in the abandoned [term often used by Israelis to describe the ethnically cleansed] villages and we set mines for them and they go back without an arm or a leg… [It may be that this] cannot pass review, but I know no other method of guarding the borders. If the Arab shepherds and harvesters are allowed to cross the borders, then tomorrow the State of Israel will have no borders.”[16]
—General Moshe Dayan, head of IDF Southern Command (1949–51)
Some might say that transferring people has nothing to do with genocide. Not according to the International Criminal Court: when it comes to “forced population transfers,” it is more precise to replace “transfer” with “expulsion.” Do note that the Zionists killed many in their terrorist attacks against and massacres of the Arab people before 1948, forcibly removing them or torturously scaring and persecuting the Palestinians into leaving their homeland. This Zionist-Israeli tactic is still going on today.
Question:
Do Palestinians have the right to armed self-defense against Israel?
Answer:
Yes, according to International Law and the United Nations. Human Rights activist and Jewish attorney Stanley L. Cohen explains:
“[O]n December 3, 1982, [the] United Nations General Assembly resolution 37/43 removed any doubt or debate over the lawful entitlement of occupied people to resist occupying forces by any and all lawful means. The resolution reaffirmed ‘the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle.’”[17]
The reader must note that since the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the Palestinian Arab people’s right of self-determination has been under constant assault and is continuously denied,[18] even more so now. Since 1948 the Zionist Jews have broken the conditions laid out by the British government in the Balfour Declaration,[19] and they have consistently conducted illegal annexations and appropriations (theft) of Palestinian homes, lands, and businesses. The said conditions were:
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet[.]
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country[.]”
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Question:
Are Jews native or indigenous to the land of Palestine?
Answer:
Though most of the world considers Judaism a religion and not a nationality, many, including some Jews, view Judaism “as being simultaneously a religion, a nationality and a culture.”[20] But, then again, Judaism is “not quite a religion, because one can be Jewish regardless of observance or specific belief.”[21] Therefore, one needs to look at the people claiming to be natives of that land, analyze whether they are indeed the aboriginal inhabitants of Palestine, and then as a result of that examination possibly answer yes or no.
Nonetheless, when people ask that question in the case of Ashkenazi Jews (Caucasian Jews, who make up the majority of Jewish Zionists), the answer is emphatically no. Let us remember that Judaism is a 3,000-year-old religion. Jews as a tribe—a racial group and/or a cultural entity—are a whole other construct.
From the Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and through His Servant, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, we know that Caucasians are 6,000 years old. There were no Caucasians before Yakub (Jacob in the Bible), a Black scientist,[22] grafted the Caucasian out of the Asiatic Black man to give the brown germ form and expression. Later, Moses came and taught the Caucasian of Europe (the peoples in the Caucasus) 4,000 years ago, or two thousand B.C.[23]
Interestingly enough, the word Palestine is derived from Palestina (Latin), which is derived from Philistia (Greek), which is derived from Plishtim (Hebrew) or Filistin (Arabic). The Philistines are reported to be:
“…one of a people of Aegean origin who settled on the southern coast of Palestine in the 12th century BCE, about the time of the arrival of the Israelites.”[24]
What do we find in the Aegean Sea? The island of Patmos (or Pelan), the birthplace of Caucasians, and Yellow and Brown people. A recent study using DNA analysis advances that the Philistines’ genetic makeup was assimilated by intermixing with the natives[25] of what would be known as Palestine. Since the Israelites are believed to have arrived around the same period, it is reasonable and logical to presume the Natives of Palestine were Black men and women.
If the Philistines were local people, as believed in this study,[26] then they were originally Black people, a reality that would explain in part why their genetic makeup “was assimilated” according to the other study. Finding southern European genetic markers in the Philistines could very well be explained through the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad that tell us that the Caucasians went to the Holy Land after being made on Patmos,[27] and some of the local people (Black) hid some of them and interracial mixing started 6,000 years ago. These Caucasians were not Jews, since Judaism is a 3,000-year-old religion according to Rabbi Yisroel David Weiss.[28]
The point is, the Philistines—from whom the name “Palestine” is derived, a term that also describes the region of the same name—were polytheists that were either already in that region 6,000 years ago as Black people or were assimilated by the locals around 3,000 years ago. Therefore, Jews, and especially the Ashkenazi Jews, have no historical or religious ties to Palestine.
Question:
Does Jihad mean “Holy War”?
Answer:
Despite what the Zionists would want the world to believe, jihad does not mean so-called Islamist extremists strapping on explosive belts to kill as many Jews as they can in warfare.[29]
The Encyclopedia Britannica defines Jihad correctly. It states:
jihad (Arabic: “struggle” or “effort”), in Islam, a meritorious struggle or effort. The exact meaning of the term jihād depends on context; it has often been erroneously translated in the West as “holy war.” Jihad, particularly in the religious and ethical realm, primarily refers to the human struggle to promote what is right and to prevent what is wrong.[30]
The Dictionary of The Holy Qur’ân (Arabic-English), by Abdul Mannân Omar, defines Jihad as:
Exerting of one’s utmost power in contending with an object of disapprobation. It is only in a secondary sense that the word signifies fighting or holy war. It is exerting one’s self to the extent of one’s ability and power whether it is by word (qaul ) or deed (fi’l ). There is nothing in the word to indicate that this striving is to be effected by the sword (Râzî). According to Râghib Jihâd is a struggle against a visible enemy, a devil inciting to sin and against one’s self which incites to evil. (Râghib). Jihâd is, therefore, far from being synonymous with war. Its meaning as war undertaken for the propagation of religion is unknown to the Arabic language and Islâm. [….] Fighting in defence of faith received the name Jihâd because under some circumstances it bec[a]me necessary for the truth to live and prosper[;] if fighting had not been permitted, truth would have been uprooted. The greatest Jihâd which a Muslim must carry on is by means of the Holy Qur’ân, which can be carried out by every person under all conditions and circumstances (25:52).[31]
The Holy Qur’an, in chapter 25, verse 52, states (Maulana Muhammad Ali’s translation):
“So obey not the disbelievers, and strive [jihad] against them a mighty striving [jihad] with it.”
The use of the term Jihad outside of the Encyclopedia Britannica or The Dictionary of The Holy Qur’ân definition should be examined carefully within the context used and should be refuted on the spot to expose and ultimately vanquish the anti-Arab or anti-Muslim Western propaganda.
Question:
What does holy war mean and is it wrong?
Answer:
Again, holy war, when used by Muslims, does not mean “Islamist extremists” with explosives strapped to their bodies to kill as many Jews as they can.
Any religious person should know that Allah (God) is a God of Justice. Therefore, if Allah (God) chooses a side to give it victory over its enemies, this war is deemed holy because its essence is to restore balance after an injustice has been committed. We can find in the Bible the following passages supporting that religious doctrine.
1 Samuel 17:47:
“and that this entire assembly may know that the Lord does not save with the sword or with the spear; for the battle is the Lord’s and He will hand you over to us.”
Deuteronomy 20:4:
“for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
This is confirmed in the Holy Qur’an (Maulana Muhammad Ali’s translation):
2:190 And fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you but be not aggressive. Surely Allah loves not the aggressors.
2:191 And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, and persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it; so if they fight you (in it), slay them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
2:192 But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:193 And fight them until there is no persecution, and religion is only for Allah. But if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.
2:251 So they put them to flight by Allah’s permission. And David slew Goliath, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of what He pleased. And were it not for Allah’s repelling some men by others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder: but Allah is Full of grace to the worlds.
4:76 Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of the devil. So fight against the friends of the devil; surely the struggle of the devil is ever weak.
9:14 Fight them; Allah will chastise them at your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and relieve the hearts of a believing people,
22:39 Permission (to fight) is given to those on whom war is made, because they are oppressed. And surely Allah is Able to assist
them—
22:40 Those who are driven from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah. And if Allah did not repel some people by others, cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah’s name is much remembered, would have been pulled down. And surely Allah will help him who helps Him. Surely Allah is Strong, Mighty.
It therefore can be stated that Biblical and Quranic scriptures endorse holy wars in which Allah (God) is the Patron. To summarize International Law and Religious Scripture: oppressed people are justified to resist with violence against their oppressors.
Question:
Is Holy War mentioned in the Palestinian 1968 charter?
Answer:
No. It is not in the Palestinian Charter of 1968.[32]
However, in the 1964 Charter (or Covenant) by the Palestine Liberation Organization,[33] we find the following mentioning it:
We, the Palestinian Arab people, who faced the forces of evil, injustice and aggression, against whom the forces of international Zionism and colonialism conspire and worked to displace it, dispossess it from its homeland and property, abused what is holy in it and who in spite of all this refused to weaken or submit.
We, the Palestinian Arab people, who believe in its Arabism and in its right to regain its homeland, to realize its freedom and dignity, and who have determined to amass its forces and mobilize its efforts and capabilities in order to continue its struggle and to move forward on the path of holy war (al-jihad) until complete and final victory has been attained,
Question:
Does Israel have a right to self-defense against the Palestinians?
Answer:
According to International Law, as an occupier, Israel does not have the right to self-defense, no matter how strange that fact may resonate in one’s mind.
Indeed, when one is already the aggressor, one’s reaction against the victim’s self-defense is only more aggression.
To make it easier to understand, if one enters your home and attacks your family, then you defend your family by attacking back, knowing that this intruder’s action is illegal from the beginning. Any action he commits only adds to his crimes.
Incredibly, though the State of Israel is recognized as an occupier of the Palestinians, it—through the so-called Jewish lobby—manages to convince the world that Israel is the victim of the Palestinians!
Question:
Is Israel a democracy?
Answer:
For those who would believe the lie that Israel is a democracy, where non-Jews have equal rights with Jews, you need to read Jack Bernstein’s book The Life of an American-Jew in Racist, Marxist Israel,[34] in which it is clearly described that even American Jews are discriminated against and so are the Jewish Arabs, as was his wife. Some might say that that happened before 1985. Very well, let us fast forward to the 2021 Human Rights Watch report A Threshold Crossed — Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution,[35] in which the organization finds Israel committing clear crimes of Apartheid and persecution against Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied territories. A few examples[36]:
- “About 6.8 million Jewish Israelis and 6.8 million Palestinians live today between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River, an area encompassing Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), the latter made up of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Throughout most of this area, Israel is the sole governing power; in the remainder, it exercises primary authority …”
- “The Israeli Authorities have long pursued a policy to box in, separate, and exert pressure on Palestinian Jerusalemites … to preserve a Jewish majority there.”
- Israeli authorities have denied “residency rights to the more than 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were expelled in 1948 and their descendants, who today number more than 5.7 million. […] [A] Jewish citizen of any other country who has never been to Israel can move there and automatically gain citizenship, while a Palestinian expelled from his home and languishing for more than 70 years in a refugee camp in a nearby country, cannot.”
- “[B]oth Jewish and Palestinian citizens and residents of Israel who choose to marry Palestinians” are denied “the right to live with their partner in Israel.”
- The Israeli government has in place an architecture of “systematic domination and oppression that privilege Jewish Israelis and systematically repress Palestinians,” a system that persecutes the Palestinians through a vast web of “discriminatory policies, laws, and regulations” and “deprives Palestinians of fundamental rights on account of their being Palestinian.”
- Israeli “authorities should end discriminatory policies and practices with regards to citizenship and residency rights, civil rights, freedom of movement, allocation of land and resources, access to water, electricity, and other services, and granting of building permits.”
- “Across Israel and the OPT,” “Israeli authorities retain primary control over resources and infrastructure and systematically privilege Jewish Israeli settlers over Palestinians in the provision of roads, water, electricity, health care, and other services.”
- “Israel maintains a two-track citizenship structure that treats Palestinians unequally as compared to Jews.”
If the State of Israel really represents Judaic values, how could anyone with a minimum sense of justice endorse a “religious” nation-state that commits apartheid, much less an ongoing genocide since October 7th, 2024? It is impossible. Therefore, those who call Israel a “Jewish State” in all seriousness and conviction—knowing full well the Ten Commandments and the Written Torah are against the killing of other human beings and against the coveting of others’ property—are deceitful liars at worst or extremely ignorant at best. Believing, righteous Jews who try to live the Torah (The Written Law, or Five Books of Moses) can only be against the existence of the Zionist State of Israel or, at the bare minimum, are against the crimes and injustices perpetrated by the Israeli government in “their” names. Zionists are mistaken that Israel should exist, because according to Jewish belief and Biblical prophecy, only God can give Jews a territory, not the European and American governments. Moreover, that divine promise of a territory of their own was not for the so-called Jews as described in Rev. 2:9, 3:9, but for the real Children of Israel. Zionists have instead usurped Judaism, using it to shield the “dirty practices” of their “dirty religion”—Zionism. Thus, as stated in the Holy Qur’an, chapter 3, verse 26:
Say: O Allah, Owner of the Kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You please, and take away the kingdom from whom You please, and You exalt whom You please and degrade whom You please. In Your hand is the good. Surely You are Powerful over all things.
Question:
Are Zionists all Jews or vice versa?
Answer:
No.
In fact, prominent Zionists were even hateful towards Jews. Let us read a few quotes of some “elite” Zionist so-called Jews:
“[T]he Jews are a very terrible people, their neighbors justly hate them.”[37]
—Vladimir “Ze’ev” Jabotinsky
“If the tables were turned and others were the Jews, wouldn’t we have good cause to hate them as well?”[38]
—Yosef Haim Brenner
“Those loathsome Jews are vomited out by any healthy collective and state, not because they are Jews, but because of their Jewish repulsiveness.”[39]
—Yosef Haim Brenner
“Sterile Jewish masses living parasitically off of the body of an alien economic body.”[40]
—David Ben-Gurion
“One goat in the Land of Israel is more important than an entire Jewish community in Europe.”[41]
“When they asked me, couldn’t you give money out of the United Jewish Appeal funds for the rescue of Jews in Europe, I said, ‘NO!’ and I say again, ‘NO!’…one should resist this wave which pushes the Zionist activities to secondary importance.”[42]
—Yitzhak Gruenbaum (aka Yitzchak Greenbaum), chairperson of the Jewish Agency’s Rescue Committee
Even President Jospeh Biden declared himself to be a Zionist.[43] Does that make him a Jew? It does not.
Question:
What is Zionism?
Answer:
The “definition game” is a recurring trick in Satan’s tricknology playbook, ensnaring the unwitting. If the Synagogue of Satan can control the narrative—the very definition of words—they control the discussion.
That is why Professor Norman G. Finkelstein is right when he said, regarding the definition of Zionism, on July 2, 2020[44]:
“Forget it. Don’t argue about those things — Semitism, Zionism. That’s what these Jewish crooks want you to do. They want you to spend hours talking about the Jewish people because there’s nothing they like more than talking about the Jewish people. They love their navel. So, you’re ending up, instead of talking about the blockade in Gaza, instead of talking about the settlements, instead of talking about the annexation, you’re gonna sit down and talk with…Simon Schama and start talking about Semitism and Zionism and this ‘ism’ and that ‘ism.’ That’s not the issue. The issue is Israel’s human rights violations, Israeli human rights crimes. Semitism, Zionism—it’s just totally beside the point. And so, I don’t think we should get bogged down in those kinds of discussions. Noam Chomsky considers himself a Zionist. Benjamin Netanyahu considers himself a Zionist. Avigdor Lieberman considers himself a Zionist. What does Chomsky have in common with Avigdor Lieberman? It means the term is so broad and so abstract, it doesn’t mean anything. [….] [I]f you start talking about Zionism and Semitism, you end up in this never-ending disquisition about nothing.”
The usual “accepted” definition of Zionism is:
“Zionism […] is a nationalist movement that emerged in [Central and Eastern] Europe in the 19th century to enable the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Jewish tradition. Following the establishment of the modern State of Israel, Zionism became an ideology that supports the development and protection of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.”[45]
According to the ADL (Anti-Defamation League),
“Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.”[46]
The reason that “self-determination” is not emphasized in bold here is that Jews don’t need a movement for that. However, to pretend to a statehood and imply that Jews can “go back” to their so-called homeland before God sends the decree—since He is the One Who expelled them—then Zionism is needed.
Question:
Is Zionism integral to Judaism?
Answer:
Let us read what Torah*-observant Jews have to say about Zionism posing as Judaism or being purportedly integral to it. *By Torah, we mean Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible—not the Talmud, which is oftentimes referred to as Torah.
Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro on The Katie Halper Show, November 27, 2023:
“Rather than define Zionism in a way that you’re going to be arguing about the definition, I would say that all Zionisms, no matter what type or who’s giving the definition, presuppose two things. The first thing all Zionisms presuppose is that the Jewish people are a nationality. We’re a nation. We’re not just a religion, we’re a nation. Now, you can define a nation as a race, as they used to do in the olden days. You can define a nation however you want, but it’s not just a religion the way Jews looked at themselves for thousands of years. Jews are a nationality. And two, Israel is the State of that nationality. Those are the two things that are contained in all definitions of Zionism. Now, both of those are false and also anti-Semitic.
[….]
“The story of the Jewish people is very simple. It involves three things: (1) God, (2) gave the Torah (3) to the Jews. That’s it. [.…] The Zionists changed the concept of what the Jews are. [.…] The concept of the Jewish people used to be just as I said, and it is succinctly stated by, about a thousand years ago, Rabbi Saadia (Ben Yosef) Gaon. He lived in Egypt and his statement was so well known that Theodor Herzl even quotes it in his diary without even knowing who said it. He just quotes it. […. The Rabbi speaks Hebrew.] It means in English: ‘We are only a people, we are only united by the Torah.’ That’s it. Nothing else unites us. If you remove the Torah from the Jewish people, there’s no difference between the Jews and anybody else.

“The secular Jews, the assimilated Jews had a kind of an identity crisis. They didn’t want to be Jews because they actually, and this is important to know, they looked at the Jews as ugly.

“These guys [Zionists] did something that nobody, nobody, none of the Jewish deviant movements ever did; and actually, no country in the world ever did. They said: ‘You know what? We’re not saying that we’re the real Jews and the Orthodox are not, although there are those who have said it. Rather, we are the representative of all the Jews in the world. Jews are a nationality whether you’re religious or you’re not religious, whether you’re a Black Hebrew or a Jew for Jesus, whatever they want to say. But we are the State of those Jews. All those Jews comprise a nationality. [.…] Israel is the country of the Jews.’ Now, it’s important to know that there’s no country in the world that does this. Every single country in the world is the country of their citizens.
[….]
“In Israel, there’s a by-Israeli-law. There is no Israeli nationality. There’s only a Jewish nationality. There’s Israeli citizenship but no Israeli nationality. Israel’s nation-state law says that only Jews have the right to self-determination in Israel—nobody else. And this means two things. Thing number one, that, I, Jew of Polish descent who never lived in Israel, don’t plan on living in Israel, have nothing to do with Israel, don’t want anything to do with Israel, they claim that they’re my State. Benjamin Netanyahu says that he’s my Prime Minister. That’s what they think. That they are the leaders of the Jews and they say it all over the place.”[47]
At a Torah Jewry Against Zionism convention in New York’s Nassau Memorial Coliseum in 2018, where close to 15,000 Rabbis convened:
“Many Jews believe, wrongly, that Zionism is part of Judaism or is compatible with Judaism or is even the main part of Judaism. All of those are actually false. Zionism was created to negate Judaism. Zionism was created to replace Judaism. The differences between Zionism and Judaism are vast—they are vast and profound.

“[About the propaganda ‘churned out’ and ‘promulgated by the Zionists’:] Israel, Jewish State; Israel, Jews; Israel, the Jewish people; Israel protects the Jews—it’s all bogus.”[48]
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss on Al Jazeera English, October 17, 2023:
“Judaism is subservience to God—that’s what it’s all about. It’s a religion of 3,000 years. While Zionism is a mere 150 years. It’s a transformation to nationalism to have a piece of land. It’s a political movement. It’s a materialistic movement. It was started by Jews who are non-religious and they’re simply incorporating, using the name Israel and using the Star of David and claiming that it’s given to them by God. And we who are following the Torah, who are true to the Torah, stand up adamantly refuting what they’re saying. The Torah clearly states that we shall not kill, we shall not steal. And the whole concept [of Zionism] is strange, is totally antithetical to our teachings [and] contradictory.
[….]
“[B]ut the world doesn’t seem to take into regard the 75 years that every day, every day almost you have Palestinian death and suffering. But we as Jews do take this into consideration.
“We say, we say this [Zionism] is clearly a rebellion against God and it hurts us more than usual because it’s being done in our name. And the Rabbis you are seeing, the power bases that you are seeing in the settlements that is fringe to the Jewish communities, those are the ones who bought into this tale that it’s God’s wish. But the central part of Judaism, the very religious in whatever country[…]says: “No, we’re dead set against this. We cry with the Palestinians.”[49]
Quotes (reported from different sources), by Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum:
“I have become the object of scorn and contempt… no force in the world shall move me from my stand to accept, God forbid, the [Zionist] heresy, from which the Merciful One must save us.”[50]
“Furthermore, among those who have moved to Eretz Yisrael in these times, most of the immigrants from Arab countries were living peacefully and tranquilly in their countries, lacking nothing, until the establishment of the heretical kingdom in Israel. Through the establishment of that State they began to suffer hatred and persecution in their countries, and the Zionists themselves aided this through their wiles, so as to increase the persecution until they would be forced to emigrate to Eretz Yisrael, destitute and with nothing, and they glorified their saviors, but the truth was the opposite — that [the Zionists] had brought about all of the destruction in the first place.
[.…]
“Clearly, we were also deserving of this blessing, but these wicked ones arose to ruin it, throughout the world, in that they sought only a State, not salvation, and it is difficult to be saved from one who has free choice, as it is written in the Holy Zohar — that Reuven meant to cast Yosef into a pit in which there were snakes and scorpions, for one may be saved from snakes and scorpions, but not from a person with free choice.
[….]
“So while they caused our suffering, they still glorify themselves as our saviors. Concerning the refugees from Egypt, some two years ago, did they not again glorify themselves as having saved them, even though everyone knew openly that it was they who had caused all of their troubles and their expulsion?
[….]
“The meaning of the metaphor is clear: that the Zionists, through their sins and their actions, bring about all the troubles and the tribulations, and then make themselves out to be saviors. Those people who do not make the effort to ascertain the truth believe them to be saviors.
[….]
“The crux of the matter is that the sitra achra [evil side] blinds everyone’s eyes to the fact that through this they are caught up into heresy and blasphemy, heaven forefend. It may be demonstrated that in every detail of their actions they bring only destruction…”[51]
Therefore, we can assume that these rabbis have students under them that believe or feel the same about Zionism. I do not know how many students each rabbi may have, but even if it is only 10, it turns out that 150,000 Jews (at the 2018 convention) have denounced Zionism. This to show that there is no consensus on Zionism, contrary to the propaganda of Israel that it is the State of the Jewish people and that it represents them all.
Question:
How could Israel be a settler-colonialist State if half
of its population is of Middle Eastern origin?
Answer:
Although it is true most Israelis are of Middle Eastern origin, in other words, Arab Jews, this does not tell the whole story.
Indeed, one needs to take into consideration why the Arab Jews, or Mizrahi, left the comfort of their homes in other Arab lands to migrate to a land where war and conflict were inevitable.
Ex-IDF soldier, Eran Efrati, exposes how the majority of Arab Jews (such as he) came to migrate to Israel. He states:
“The Zionist organizations sends [sic] delegations into these Arab countries and called the Jews there to come into Israel, the Jewish homeland. Many of them didn’t want to. Many of them, like in Iraq or Egypt, had a good life, or in Morocco, and wanted to stay. They didn’t know what will be the destiny of this new country that they understood that there is very much likely that a lot of wars will go on there. They felt protected in those countries, and they said no. And the Zionist organizations sent another delegations [sic] into some of these countries of people disguised as Arabs from those countries that terrorize those people to try to force them to come into Israel. They would burn synagogues. We have testimonies today that talks [sic] about how they ran after people in the streets and beat them down as so-called Arabs from Morocco, from Egypt or Iraq, trying to scare them. And immediately after that, more people from the Zionist movement would come and say: ‘You see? The only safe place you have is Israel. You have to come now.’”[52]
Despite most immigration in Israel coming from Caucasian countries[53] to reside in the State, the Ashkenazi Jews represent only about 32% of the population[54] of Jews in Israel in 2023. This is due to their low birth rate compared to that of the Sephardic or Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews. However, the Haredi (or Ultra-Orthodox) Jews have a high, if not the greater, birth rate[55] compared to other Jews. This is consistent with a group following the Torah, which tells them to “multiply, and replenish the earth.”[56]
Despite Ashkenazi Jews being a minority in Israel, a White supremacy racist mentality is in operation, put forward by the government. The racism against Arabs is evident. Some might argue that Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews are Arabs and that should demonstrate that the government can’t be racist against its own members. Well, let us remember that the Zionist movement is one of Ashkenazi (Central and Eastern European) origin. The Arab Jews’ presence in Israel was planned and instigated by the Zionists, as explained by ex-IDF soldier Eran Efrati (an Arab Jew himself):
“… and they [the European Zionists] understood that they cannot [couldn’t] hold the territory alone. They need[ed] more people on the ground to fight off Palestinians, or Palestinian refugees if they will [would] come back, and then they went off and brought most of the Arab Jews and put them in the most terrible places in Israel—on the borders. On the borders with Egypt or Jordan or Lebanon and Syria. We put them as buffer zones to protect us from Palestinians.”[57]
In other words, the Arab Jews had/have a purposeful role of being a shield for the Ashkenazi Zionists. It is important also to highlight the 2018 Jewish Nation-State Law,[58] which further demonstrates the objective of the White supremacy racist mentality of the Zionist Jews. Let us review article 1, paragraphs “b” and “c”; article 4, paragraphs “a” and “b”; and lastly article 7:
- The State of Israel
(b) The state of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, in which it fulfills its natural, religious, and historic right to self-determination.
(c) The fulfillment of the right of national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.
- The Language of the State of Israel
(a) Hebrew is the language of the state.
(b) The Arabic language has a special status in the state; the regulation of the Arab language in state institutions or when facing them will be regulated by law.
- The state views Jewish settlement as a national value and will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.
It does not take a Ph.D. in law or English to realize an immediate discrimination against all non-Jews and Arabs, even if the latter are Jews. Article 7 is a clear indication of intent to expand the settlements in Palestinian lands, an action that is in itself illegal annexation and negation of the Palestinians’ right of self-determination. How can we tell the White supremacy racist mentality is well integrated in Israel? By realizing that the Supreme Court of Israel upheld[59] the “Jewish State Law” in 2021 despite a population that is 21% Palestinian inside Israel’s borders. Non-Jews are therefore ipso factosecond- or third-class citizens.
Question:
Did the Zionists respect the Partition Plan of November 1947?
Answer:
They did not.
Chapter 2, Religious and minority rights, of the U.N. Resolution[60] was clearly disregarded by the Zionist State of Israel as soon as it declared itself a State on May 14, 1948. Let us quote a few relevant articles on the matter.
- No discrimination of any kind shall be made between the inhabitants on the ground of race, religion, language or sex.
- All persons within the jurisdiction of the State shall be entitled to equal protection of the laws.
- No expropriation of land owned by an Arab in the Jewish State (by a Jew in the Arab State) shall be allowed except for public purposes. In all cases of expropriation full compensation as fixed by the Supreme Court shall be paid previous to dispossession.
Chapter 4, first paragraph, is also disregarded by the Zionists, although it is very relevant. It states:
The provisions of chapters 1 and 2 of the declaration shall be under the guarantee of the United Nations, and no modifications shall be made in them without the assent of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Any Member of the United Nations shall have the right to bring to the attention of the General Assembly any infraction or danger of infraction of any of these stipulations, and the General Assembly may thereupon make such recommendations as it may deem proper in the circumstances.
All three documents (Balfour Declaration, the 1922 League of Nations Mandate, and the 1947 United Nations Resolution) were disregarded by the Zionists in the crucial aspect that “nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine…”[61]
The Zionists knew they could not rule the so-called Jewish homeland with a majority population of Arabs in their midst. So, they proceeded to perpetrate armed ethnic cleansing (or expulsion) of about 750,000 Palestinians from their lands[62]in the new Israeli State.
Even with sanctions or recognitions from the League of Nations and the United Nations, there is still a very relevant aspect that needs to be addressed. The “right to self-determination” of so-called Jews was elaborated and imposed on a land where people were already living. This directly infringes upon the right of Palestinians to self-determination, a violation that is against international law. French attorney Gilles Devers in association with around 500 other attorneys in France and internationally, recently filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) charging Israel with genocide against the Palestinians.
On November 17, 2023, on Le Média, he said that
“The International Criminal Court, created in 2002, tries perpetrators of the most serious international crimes. [….] [It] ruled that Palestine is a sovereign state of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, a ruling that confirms the illegality of Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem.”[63]
Attorney Devers described one of the elements of the crime of genocide, as defined in Article 6 of the ICC’s definition of “genocide,”[64] namely “a determined [deliberate, intentional] action to destroy a society or a social group.”
Examples used by the Court are deprivation of water and electricity, organization of famine, difficulty in accessing health care, destruction of houses, forced population transfers. Gilles Devers’ complaint further adds the massive bombings by Israeli military that have caused close to 98% of civilian casualties.
The key part of the ICC definition of genocide is the intentional element. One must prove the perpetrator’s intent to destroy the group. Thus, when the Minister of Defense of Israel calls the Palestinians “animals” and that the Israeli government will treat them as such, this demonstrates intent. When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compares the Palestinians to “Amalek,” his clear intent is to dehumanize an entire group.
On February 25th, 2024, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in his eye-opening keynote address at Saviours’ Day exposed the mind of Netanyahu:
“Israel sees billions of dollars of oil wealth under Gaza and wants to build a canal larger than the Suez Canal and take advantage of that wealth.”[65]
The United Nations produced a report in 2019 titled The Economic Costs of the Israeli Occupation for the Palestinian People: The Unrealized Oil and Natural Gas Potential. The report informs us that since 2008, Israel has taken control of Gaza’s natural gas, leaving only the oil soon to be seized and taken from the Gazans.[66] The oil fields are not only underneath Gaza’s soil but also within its territorial waters.[67] The report, in 2019, estimated the value of the oil fields to be $99.1 billion.[68] In today’s current inflation, the worth is estimated at $121 billion. More on the matter is available in the Nation of Islam Research Group exposé titled How the Synagogue of Satan Became Israel: From Sugar to Cotton to Oil.[69]
To create a Jewish state in a place where there is already a society is to deny the right to self-determination. The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 was done not by the UN but by a political declaration and via the crime of the ethnic cleansing of over 700,000 people, 90% of whom are Arab Muslims. This denial of the right to self-determination is at the heart of the conflict. Some Israeli ministers said it is nice to see Gaza destroyed and that they would finally be able to give that land to the Jewish Zionist settlers. All this is in fulfillment of the 2018 Jewish Nation-State Law, which makes it unequivocally clear that the right of self-determination is denied to non-Jews— especially to Palestinians.
The UN Charter states that the condition for peace is the coexistence of peoples. As soon as one considers oneself superior to the other and commences to usurp the other’s land where he is sovereign, one is committing an act of war.
Question:
Were 750,000 Palestinians expelled during the 1948 war?
Answer:
Israeli historian Professor Benny Morris wrote the book The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited (2004), in which he admits the intent of the Zionists to expel the Palestinians:
“But, clearly, the OCs [officers in command] of northern and southern fronts, respectively Moshe Carmel and Yigal Allon, both hoped and acted to clear their areas of Arab communities. Both were affiliated to Ahdut Ha’avoda and its leader, Yitzhak Tabenkin, a major proponent of transfer [expulsion] in the Israeli political arena….Carmel ordered his brigades and district OCs ‘to continue in the cleansing operations inside the Galilee’. A few hours later, at 10:00 hours, Carmel honed his order as follows: ‘Do all in your power for a quick and immediate cleansing (tihur) of the conquered areas of all the hostile elements in line with the orders that have been issued. The inhabitants of the areas conquered should be assisted to leave’. The order was apparently issued while Carmel and [David] Ben-Gurion—who had come to visit—were meeting in Nazareth, or minutes after their meeting… Ten days later, Carmel repeated this order, in a somewhat watered down version: ‘(We) should continue to assist the inhabitants who wish to leave the areas we have conquered. This matter is urgent and should be expedited quickly.’”[70]
It should be evident that his meeting with Ben-Gurion resulted in the change of tone. In other words, to use language that would not openly admit the real intent of the government, whose officials had to sooner or later face the United Nations to justify its actions.
The 750,000 figure[71] is an approximation of the Palestinians expelled or “ethnically cleansed” from their land, whether it was the result of a “war” or resistance to a Zionist invasion.
Question:
Is it true that since the 1960s it is punishable by
death to sell land to a Jew in Palestine?
Answer:
No, it is not true. This question is rigged. Let us look at the law in question.
The U.S. State Department has issued a report in 2022 titled 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom: Israel, West Bank and Gaza.[72] In it, it quotes the said law. Pay very close attention to the following words:
PA [Palestinian Authority] land laws prohibit Palestinians from selling Palestinian-owned lands to “any man or judicial body corporation of Israeli citizenship, living in Israel or acting in its behalf.”
The reader certainly can see that the word “Jew” is not there.
As for the essence of the law (or act), it is understandable that such a sale is considered treason by the Palestinian Authority. Treason in many countries is punishable by death, even in Israel.[73] Sections 97–99 of Israel’s Penal Law, as well as section 43 of its Military Justice Law, 5715–1955, prescribe the death penalty as the maximum punishment for offenses constituting treason during wartime.[74] Let us read articles 97 to 99 of the Penal Law translated from Hebrew[75] to English[76] and then the Military Justice Law, section 43.
PENAL LAW 5737-1977
Article Two: Treason
Impairment of sovereignty or integrity of the State
97.
(a) If a person commits — with intent to impair the sovereignty of the State — an act calculated to impair that sovereignty, he is liable to the death penalty or to life imprisonment.
(b) A person commits — with intent that any area be withdrawn from the sovereignty of the State or placed under the sovereignty of a foreign state — an act calculated to bring that about, he is liable to the death penalty or to life imprisonment.
Causing war
98.
If a person, with intent to bring about military action against Israel, commits an act designed to result in such action, he is liable to fifteen years imprisonment; if his intention is to assist the enemy, he is liable to the deathpenalty or to life imprisonment.
Assistance to enemy in war
99.
(a) If a person, with intent to assist an enemy at war against Israel, commits an act calculated to assist the enemy in war, he is liable to the death penalty or life imprisonment.
(b) For the purpose of this section, “assistance” includes the delivery of information with the intent that it will reach the enemy or with the knowledge that it will reach the enemy, and it is immaterial that when the information was delivered, war was not being waged.
Under Israeli Military Justice Law,[77] a soldier who commits treason “is liable to the death penalty: Provided that a court martial shall not impose the death penalty unless the offence was committed during a period of actual fighting.”
Therefore, it is the “treason” element of the Palestinian Authority law or act that makes it punishable by death. It is not about “Jews.”

[Benjamin] Netanyahu told the United Nations on September 22[, 2023,] that he intends to establish “The New Middle East” by building a vast rail and shipping corridor connecting India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Israel, and the European Union. The plan includes the reviving of a 1963 scheme to develop what he calls the Ben Gurion Canal as an Israeli challenge to the Egyptian Suez Canal. The $55-billion, 200-mile waterway would connect the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, giving Israel control over one of the world’s key chokepoints for military ships, grain exports, energy, and other commodities. The planned route of the canal goes right through Gaza, and many believe that Israel is destroying Gaza not to root out Hamas but to make way for the construction of this canal.

We can see from this article that Jews really want jihad to mean violence or holy war. Again, they are trying to control the narrative by injecting their own interpretation, to which all human beings must adhere.

According to the HRW video report, the Israeli government—the main authority across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory— “maintain[s] a two-tier system which privileges Jewish Israelis over Palestinians,” “boxing in Palestinians” into circumscribed areas “while helping predominantly Jewish areas to flourish.” The report highlights Israel’s ruthless ongoing policies of “mass land confiscation, the denial of residency rights, and the suspension of civil rights.”
