Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan shreds a copy of the UN charter
The parallels are unmistakable.
“It was a major factor in making possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939 …. Within the Nazi movement, a variety of increasingly radical "solutions" to the "Jewish Question" were proposed both before and after the Nazi party was in government, including expulsion and the encouragement of voluntary emigration.”
'We must settle Gaza now': Netanyahu ministers join Israelis marching to Gaza, demand Palestinians' transfer
"Thousands of Israelis joined an Independence Day march on Tuesday in southern Israel, led by far-right Jewish activists advocating for resettling the Gaza Strip and facilitating the emigration of Palestinians from Gaza.
Communication Minister Shlomo Karhi, of Netanyahu's Likud party, said: "In order to preserve the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love." He added that "this is the only true way, to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country."
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also spoke at the march, and said that what the protesters are calling for is the "true solution."
"First," he said, "we must return to Gaza now! We are coming home! To the holy land! And second," he continued, "we must encourage emigration. Encourage the voluntary emigration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral!'"
It is moral? OK whatevs.
Ben-Gvir speaks for his deity, one that sacralizes the “true solution” of “voluntary emigration” ie. ethnic cleansing. It’s telling he has no clue, and/or could care less, that he is repeating the moral treatment Zionists received from Nazis exactly. He and his deity are in the real estate business and, by turning Gaza into an Israeli beach resort, he needs to “to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country”.
EInstein and Arendt warned us that the behavior of Israeli Zionists was like that of German Nazis. They never imagined the USA would support that behavior, however. Imagine how they would react to Likud.
Israel is a “birthright” nation that, by using it as the basis for land claims, founds its political ideology on the Torah, the first 5 chapters of the Old Testament that serve as the font of the 3 biblical religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Because of this, its behavior exemplifies the essence of bibliolatry, the worship of (deity through) words. (Bibliolatry is what Christian Fundamentalists do everyday, so whatevs too. The Inquisition was comprised of bibliocrats.)
The crisis Israel causes through its genocide of Palestinians, and the supplementary behaviors that make their enormity possible, is an expression—a “living out”—of ethos of the Torah. The prospect that the deity of the Torah condones mass murder is shocking to those whose consider its deity to be perfection, surpassing all other things in purity and goodness. How is it possible that the “chosen people” and “most beloved” of this deity are a ruthless savage and ugly bunch? Their deity’s thirst for blood is satanic, and their devotion to it—after decades of claiming highest moral status because of their suffering genocide in Europe—exposes the fakeness and pathology of biblical religions.
The question raised by Israel’s genocide is: how could the victims of the European genocide unapologetically commit a genocide?
The answer is: with US weapons and support. Without either, Israelis would have to make friends with their neighbors and by extension the rest of the world.
US and Israeli militaries are nearly indistinguishable today—the very moment the US is losing the control over the planet it has enjoyed since 1947, when it dropped atomic bombs on Japanese civilians.
The ethos of the Torah, then, is shared by US leaders as the US gasps and shudders in death throes—and it is revealed generically whenever a politician or celebrity says “god bless america” or we use currency branded with “in god we trust”. This bland nationalist Torahism sets the backdrop for obscene actors to mouth, as South Carolina’s senator does, lines like
The primitive nihilism/homocidal madness expressed here is Torahism, the martial doctrine of total annihilation of peoples who are not Jewish. BUT! The senator is lying because it is Israel, not “all the Jews” that is involved in genocide. This lie is a religious lie, and this religion—Torahism—is most clearly revealed through the sacrifice of humans to it. It has no other meaning or purpose—for if it did, its ethos would be loving, would be love.
Christianity was supposed to be a religion of love—just listen to an MLK speech—but it isn’t when it is used, as it was and is, by politicians and other leaders to sanctify their criminal activities, be it racism, misogyny, homophobia, slavery, theft, torture, planetary ecocide and genocide. Because it grows out of the Torah, it can be and is returned to the Torah. And why not? When a deity commands criminal behavior, that behavior is sacred.
Give credit to Hume and Kant, who carefully explained how humans create deities by projecting their desires into a void that, through the magic/illusion of “the word”, assumes shape, and through behavior becomes history. The Torah deity is a projection of the identity of a bronze age tribe that was fighting other bronze age tribes that also projected their collective selves into a focused character. That’s why it’s the deity of the USA, a dying imperialist culture that ruled the world for a few decades through global genocidal violence.
Conservatism believes life is a state of war, and that all behavior must conform to that belief; the Torah presents a state of war cosmology and that is why bloodthirsty Americans adhere to it. Liberalism is the American creed and believes that, through love/forgiveness and understanding/education, government by, for and of the people can end the state of war—and humans can sacrifice themselves to help, and not annihilate, others.
Liberalism exists in the USA as an unfulfilled promise, and as a zombie ideology professed by zombie politicians whose support of Israel’s genocide is “ironclad”.
Fascism, said Mussolini, is corporate rule of government, and that’s not all. Fascism is war, said Dimitrov. It’s here and its religion is practised as genocide. (Sacred of course!)
