The Jewish State

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is demanding that Israel be recognized as a Jewish State, but what does that mean? Does it mean a Jew-only state which would require accelerated ethnic cleansing of non-Jews? This would certainly please Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who campaigned with such anti-Arab demagoguery. Does it mean an apartheid state such as exists in the Israeli-occupied West Bank with its Jew-only cities connected by Jew-only roads? Does it mean a state in which only Jews have rights?

This is reminiscent of George Orwell's Animal Farm in which the animals' 7th Commandment "All Animals Are Equal" was later amended to "All Animals Are Equal But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others." At the book's end, the farm creatures gaze in the farmhouse windows, looking from pig to man and from man to pig, and they found it was impossible to say which was which. This is true in Israel where the pig-headed gluttonous avaricious rulers have stolen Palestinian land, resources, and rights.

It is interesting that those who so strongly push the priorities of the Jewish State are the ones who so strongly oppose all Islamic states. And yet before Israel's 1967 war of occupation, secular socialism was widespread in the Arab world. Political Islam gained in favor and power following, and as a reaction to, the illegal Zionist expansion.

The Israel Lobby opposes Islamic states by falsely claiming that Islam is an intrinsically violent religion. However, Philip Jenkins points out that "The Bible contains far more verses praising or urging bloodshed than does the Koran, and biblical violence is often far more extreme, and marked by more indiscriminate savagery." (The Boston Sunday Globe 3/8/09) This is of course the Old Testament.

For instance, Moses instructs his followers that when they reach Canaan they should annihilate those who live there: "thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canannites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee." Deuteronomy 20:16-17. So, as also carried out by Napoleon the pig, the 10 commandments were amended.
"Thou Shalt Not Kill" was changed to "Thou shalt Not Kill Except For Those Whose Land You Plan To Steal----Then Commit Genocide."
