The hardest word : Comments

By Antony Loewenstein, published 27/2/2008

Rudd's apology acknowledged the pain inflicted on Aboriginal people but no Jewish leaders seem capable of similar sentiments towards Palestinians.

It has been pointed out here and there that Zionism is to Judaism as the far right Christian loonies are to Christianity.

In both cases, the extremists hide behind and exploit the natural goodwill, fears and aspirations of the flock.

As a demographic, it seems to me that people of the Jewish faith have made a contribution to the humanities which is way out of proportion to their quantum of the population - which only makes unthinking support for Zionism even more difficult to fathom.

Long before the Internet, I grew up thinking that Zionism was a natural reaction to the horrors of Nazism and WWII - but now I realise it's not so. The cult of Zionism was only given an added boost by those events.

Stripped to their bare essentials, all cults have at their heart the brutal pursuit of wealth and power by the Witchdoctor Class.

Here in the 21st Century, it's a great pity that Antony doesn't get the support he deserves from the people in whose interest he sticks his neck out for.

I agree with Antony but have to wonder why the hell we keep banging on and on about "Zionists", "jews", "muslims" as if their cult describes who and what these human beings are.

People just like us.

From David Ben Gurion and his lunatic plan to ethnically cleanse all of Palestine, to Golda Meir who said there are no Palestinians it has been a case of head up the arse for the Israeli's and the jewish diaspora.

If Jews have actually been persecuted for 2,000 years as they claim where is the evidence and why do they keep murdering muslims who had nothing to do with it?

It is christians and white people who have been guilty of slaughtering all other religions over centuries yet the arabs and muslims are blamed for things that happened before they occurred.

I say humbug to all the cults and god bothering imaginary friend sects and lets just look at humans.

Thankfully it looks like the mayor of Sderot might just talk to Hamas.

Marylin, maybe it seems us whites carried on the tradition by letting the UN turn a blind eye as mostly Jewish survivors of the grisly Nazi Holocaust way back in the early 1970s manufactured their own means of an atomic Middle East holocaust.

As you say, they seem surely out to destroy their Biblical cousins, the Arabs, rather than us whites, close cousins of a Germanic self-declared master race out to eliminate all Jews as inferior humans.

Thus what stupidity does the row of nuclear rockets ready to take off in modern little Israel really signify?
