How does Zionism separate Judaism from Christianity & Islam?
Arabs employ a load of rhetoric to justify their Nazi racism. They label Zionism as European colonialism, Zionism as a Crusader state, regardless that Ben Gurion and Menachem Begin made war on Britain following the 2nd White Paper which betrayed the Balfour Declaration agreement of 1917. There biggest propaganda lie to justify their Nazi racism: stolen Palestinian lands. Regardless that Palestine existed as a Post WWI League of Nations award of the Ottoman empire spoils of war to the British and French! That the moment Britain returned the League mandate protectorate back to the UN, coupled with the declaration of Independence by the Jewish state named Israel, Palestine as a UN mandate territory ceased to exist.
Nazi racism not limited to Arab & Muslims. The UN GAR slandered Israel by the slogan: Zionism is Racism. Furthermore the UN refuses to recognize Israel as an Independent nation in the Middle East. This Apartheid UN Nazi racism applied strictly and only to the Jews of the Jewish state of Israel. No different than the Dreyfus Affair antisemites who rejected the idea of Jewish equality to French citizenship in the 1880s & the Russian pogroms which expelled millions of Jews during this same time.
During World War II, some Arab leaders, notably Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, collaborated with Nazi Germany. Al-Husseini sought to align Arab nationalist aspirations with Nazi goals, particularly against British colonial rule and Jewish immigration to Palestine. He broadcast anti-Jewish propaganda and called for Arab uprisings against the Allies, framing the struggle in terms of a shared opposition to Jewish influence
The slogan “Zionism is Racism,” adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1975 and later revoked in 1991, reflects the intense and polarized views on this issue. The concept of dhimmi status in Islamic history and the theological views within Christianity regarding Jews have also played significant roles in shaping attitudes towards Israel. The intersection of religion, politics, and history makes this a highly sensitive and multifaceted post Shoah topic. The assertion that Arab opposition to Zionism is solely rooted in a rejection of Jewish self-determination a defining point of contention.
The Arab wars of 1948 and 1967, a sensitive and complex topic. Both conflicts centered on the Jewish people and their right to exist in the Middle East. The Nazi Shoah driven by a genocidal ideology explicitly seeking the extermination of the Jewish people. Arab leaders during the 1948 and 1967 wars aimed to prevent the establishment and existence of the State of Israel, using military action to achieve their goals. Some attempt to justify racist Arab Nazism as but merely rhetoric propaganda. But post Shoah, merely 3 years later, Jewry did not at the time possess the pleasant luxury to minimize the declarations publicly made by Nasser and other Arab leaders which Goyim blithely make after the Arabs suffered defeat. The 3 Nos Khartoum Resolution definitively proves that Israel has an obligation to take racist Arab Nazism at face value.
Zionism advocates for Jewish self-determination, many Arabs view the establishment of Israel as a denial of their own rights to self-determination, particularly for Palestinians. Arabs never referred to themselves as “Palestinians” during the entire period of the British mandate. Palestine ceased to exist as a UN protectorate the moment when David Ben Gurion declared Jewish national Independence. Just prior to this declaration of independence 2/3rds of the member states of the UN validated the Jewish right to self determination. Arab propaganda concerning human rights ignores the extermination of Jews in East Jerusalem by Jordan. The Jordanian use of Jewish grave stone for construction purposes. The destruction of Jewish synagogues like the Ramban synagogue in East Jerusalem.
The term Palestinian did not gain prominence particularly after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The KGB and Arafat introduced this propaganda in 1964. Under the leadership of Egyptian born Yasser Arafat, the concept of a distinct Palestinian national identity crystalized. This period marked a significant shift in how the Arab population in Israel and abroad began to articulate their national aspirations. The KGB and other Soviet influences did play a role in shaping narratives around Palestinian identity during the Cold War. Supporting the Palestinian cause, part of broader geopolitical strategies against Western powers and their allies.
Opportunistic Arab leaders employed Arab displacement refugee status as a propaganda ploy. Arab countries expelled more Jewish refugees from virtually all Arab countries than the post war Arab refugees who fled primarily upon the orders of their own Arab leaders. Arab propaganda argues that with the establishment of the Jewish state terminated Zionism. Zionist Israelis argue that as long as Arab states reject Jewish equal rights to self determination in the Middle East, that the vision of Zionism lives and thrives.
Individuals like Sari Nusseibeh and Hanan Ashrawi actively working toward mutual recognition and understanding between Palestinians and Israelis. Their efforts to bridge divides and promote dialogue represent an essential beginning for fostering some type of reconciliation in a complex and longstanding conflict where Israelis (especially after Oct7th 2023 abhor and totally distrust Arab refugee populations) trust one another less that the distance that we can spit against a strong wind.
Sari Nusseibeh, a Palestinian philosopher and former president of Al-Quds University, has consistently advocated for non Intifada coexistence. His willingness to engage with local audiences in Arabic underscores the importance of reaching people where they live within the borders of Israel; using their native language to convey messages of hope and understanding.
Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent Palestinian politician and “human rights activist”, has never denounced Arab feudalism where the elite bask rich from international aid and view the Arab common man as but wards of the UN. The criminal abuses of Arafat’s post Oslo PA rule she never publicly condemned, despite her resignation when Arafat refused to fire corrupt ministers. The total lack of accountability much less transparency resulted in the electoral victory of Hamas in Gaza in the 2006 one and only general election, it definitively proves that Arab civilizations remain stuck in a barbaric feudalism dungeon mentality.
From the rise of Islam during the lifetime of Muhammad and his followers, Arabs have viewed Jews as a dhimmi sub-class of ruled conquered people. For Israel to rule as an Independent nation in the Middle East, this compares to the Christian theology which preached for millenniums that Christ killer Jews cursed with the mark of Cain and forced by the curse of God to wander the Earth as stateless refugee populations. Hence Christian nations which make up a large portion of the UN likewise view Zionism as an abomination to the Will of God!
Nazi racism which hates and detests Zionism serves as solid proof that both Arabs and Christians worship other Gods. The Gods worshipped by these to huge religions compare to the Gods worshipped by the Hindu religion. The worship of these Gods violates the 2nd Sinai Commandment.
The essence of the 2nd Sinai commandment stands upon the commandment which strictly forbids the adoption of the customs, practices, and beliefs from other nations (often referred to as “Goyim” in Hebrew) that fundamentally reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. In other words, the purpose of the 2nd Sinai commandment, to maintain the distinctiveness of the Jewish culture & faith by not assimilating unto other alien foreign cultures. An obvious corollary, the Torah strictly forbids the intermarriage with Goyim. A huge yatzir ha’rah among all generations of Jews throughout our history as the chosen Cohen people. Goyim have absolutely no idea of the Cohen spirituality which differentiates between tohor vs. tumah spirits. Both of which live within the hearts of bnai brit Israel.
Christian theology, makes a theological focus upon the prohibition of graven images or idols. This interpretation emphasizes monotheism and the rejection of idolatry. The logical flaw of this Ego I self inflated bubble importance, monotheism negates the second commandment; if their lives only one God, as the Muslim theology dictates, then no reason for the 2nd Sinai commandment. Furthermore, such self-centered Ego I evil eye theology ignores completely the 10 plagues by which the 1st Commandment Name (no where written in either the Christian bible or Muslim koran) judged the Gods worshipped by both Par’o and the Egyptians. It ignores the oath sworn at the brit of Gilgal by which Jehoshua cut an oath brit, that just as did the Spirit Name of the 1st Sinai Commandment judge the Gods of Egypt, so too the Spirit Name would judge the Gods worshipped by the multiple kings and nations within the land of Canaan. The koran and Arafat promoted a propaganda of ‘Greater Israel’. The League of Nations Palestine mandate, awarded to the British, therefore included the lands of present day Jordan, Iraq and Kuwait as part and parcel of the Palestine mandate territories. Therefore the Arab propaganda rhetoric concerning ‘stolen Arab Palestinian land’ – as false as camel milk as kosher as bacon.
This error compares to the perversion of reading the Torah as a history rather than grasping the prophetic visions of mussar; which all prophets command mussar to purify a persons attributes in how that person behaves to both his family and people. Limiting the 2nd Sinai commandment to graven idols and monotheism an oil vs water error only equalled by reading the T’NaCH as actual physical history rather than a prophetic mussar that purifies middot/attributes. And like self-determination applies equally to all living generations of the Jewish people!
Both Christianity and Islam fundamentally and absolutely require a physical historical Jesus. Despite the prophet Balaam’s prophesy that God is not a man. Muhammad elevated the false messiah fictional character Jesus, Roman revisionist history (on par with the Czarist secret police: forgery known as: The Protocols of Elders of Zion), to being a prophet. Yet Muhammad throughout the entire book of the koran failed to define his rhetoric word, repeated over and again from bow to stern: prophet. Muhammad did not know that the Torah defines: prophet, as a person who commands mussar! A fundamental day and night error which exposes the rhetoric of the koran as false.
The Talmud compares to a loom with its warp & weft opposing threads. The Talmud has halacha opposed by aggadah. The kabbalah of Oral Torah logic, as defined by the teachings of rabbi Akiva, this logic system format affixes דרוש\פשט to the prophetic mussar of the T’NaCH Primary sources – as the basis to understand the stories as told in both Aggadah its Midrashic primary commentaries.
Halachic portions of the Talmud align with the רמז\סוד Oral Torah logic system taught in the kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס. This logic system in sharp contrast to the Greek syllogism logic format developed by Aristotle. Rabbi Akiva’s logic format, rooted strictly and only in the study of Torah common law, this logic system weaves the threads of prophetic mussar into the opposing threads of halachic ritualistic practices. Greek logic has absolutely no interest what so ever in understanding T’NaCH/Talmud common law. When Jews during Hanukkah bench after eating a meal, we remember that the Syrian Greeks attempted to cause Israel to abandon and forget the פרדס Oral Torah logic system as taught through the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s פרדס system of logic. The Romans murdered rabbi Akiva to achieve the exact same objective.
Greek and Roman statute laws stand in stark contrast with T’NaCH/Talmud common law. Greek logic reduces complex ideas to rigid syllogisms; it give zero understanding of how to make a depth analysis of prophetic mussar common law halachot k’vanna. The two opposing logic systems as distant from one another as oil vs. water. A distinction comparable to learning the 2nd Sinai commandment – not to assimilate and intermarry vs. not to bow down to 3 dimensional idols. This latter avoda zarah directly compares to the limitations made by the Scientific method which requires empirical evidence; or reading the T’NaCH as actual historical events way back when, a long long time ago vs. learning the k’vanna of prophetic mussar as this mussar rebukes a person to enrich and refine his Yatzir middot; how he behaves toward family members and people.
The huge abyss which separates the avoda zarah practices of both Christianity and Islam summarized succinctly by how the Torah vs. how the Christian bible and Muslim koran defines the key term: FAITH. The Torah defines faith as the pursuit of judicial Common law Sanhedrin justice, starting with Moshe standing before the Court of Paro over the matter of beating Hebrew slaves over the matter of not meeting an assigned quota of brick production. Followed by the mussar rebuke of Yetro the father in law of Moshe, that he alone could not actualize justice among all his nation. Christianity and Islam stand on the opposing side of this huge abyss. They both define faith as belief precisely in how their theologians define the creed, personal beliefs in this or that God.
In Judaism, the focus on prophetic mussar (ethical guidance) and the importance of k’vanna (mussar attribute refinement of defined tohor middot) in fulfilling commandments highlights a deep, introspective approach to religious practice. This contrasts with the more historical and literal – meaning flat 2 dimensional interpretations which define Christianity and Islam. The classic example of such shallow nonsense: God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th sterile biblical literalism. The distinction between halacha (ritual common law) and aggadah (mussar common law) in the Talmud, and the use of different logic systems, such as Rabbi Akiva’s kabbalistic approach versus Greek syllogism, further illustrate the unique methodologies within Jewish thought.
