Zionism as an Ideology of Global Domination

[Peter Lemkin]

Please. The article above is crypto-anti-Jewish. I loathe Zionism in its modern form, but some of the above is putting words and ideas that never existed in the mouths and minds of those who thought up the concept or follow it in the modern sense. It was, at its foundation, a homeland for the Jews. A strange concept to me, a Jew, but not one that need be offensive unless it takes away a homeland from some other group - be it a religious or ethnic or traditional group. The repeated use of the term Jewish Question' above (a term used by Hitler and his team to sanitize the concept of destruction of the Jewish People) is offensive in and of itself - even if they use it incorrectly and inhistorically. Had 'Zionism' found or created a 'home' for Jews without displacing or hurting anyone else, I would have no problem with it, but likely would not choose to live there either - maybe visit - but not live. It is a ghetto nation and I am in favor of an uno-mundo world and not ghettoization. Modern Zionism is not trying to control the World or spread its philosophy. It has become a very oppressive state toward those it sees as its enemies - and has in fact created those enemies by usurping other's land and taking away not only their land, but their rights. Further by being aggressively militaristic while calling it defense [although its 'expansion' goal is only local an to get rid of the remaining non-Jews - it has no desire or plan to take over its other 'enemies' or adversaries - only to keep them at bay militarily and by other means. Yes, it has helped other repressive states such as S. Africa under apartheid and the US under its growing neo-con and neo-fascism, but seeks only some political pull and funding - not to dominate or take over either of those nations. It is a highly aggressive nation on the military, intelligence black operation and police-state sense. I don't see it as expansionist only politically and ethically malignant. As a secular Jew myself, proud of the history of my forebears, but not a believer myself, I reject Zionism and, in fact, have refused to visit Israel until they stop the oppression of the Palestinians, who's cause I back. Israel has embraced Zionism - but that can change if the people will it and many [about half] of the Israeli Jews are anti-zionist in fact. Clearly the Zionists have the political and military control now of that nation and that has many bad results. Terrible results....and I hope someday it will change.
