Does Anti-Zionism equate to Anti-Semitism

With another round of attacks on civilians by the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza - Operation Pillar of Defense. I thought it was apt to re-print this article that I originally wrote back when Operation Cast Lead had just finished.
This was the last major round of fighting between the fourth most powerfully equipped army in the world and a bunch of cornered in civilians with nothing to fight back with but stones and firework rockets.
These are rockets that get shot down almost as soon as they are launched and the house they are launched from immediately blown to bits by an Israeli drone or aircraft along with any children or women inside. People who may not have even wanted the rockets fired from their in the first place but had little choice in the matter.
It is not as if Hamas or the Al-Quds Brigade are going to stand in the open and wave a flag saying here I am shoot me now - not when Israel itself fires missiles from within Tel-Aviv a large city and comparable with what Hamas is doing from Gaza City.
However this article is not about the terrible war we are now witnessing (again) but whether we can de-link the name calling of the Israeli Hasbara brigade who label anyone who criticises Israeli actions as anti-semitic. Is it really fair to link criticism of a major military power bombarding women and children with a dislike of a whole religion?
Apparently since 9/11 and then again since Operation Cast Lead attacks classified as being anti-Semitic in the UK have doubled.
These attacks range from verbal and physical abuse, cemetery desecration and the burning down of synagogues. All of this is a shocking indictment of peoples behaviour in the modern world and I am against any form of abuse of a group of people for whatever reason.
However the term "Anti-Semitic" and the claim of being one is used too frequently when its not deserved, especially against those people who speak about Israels foreign policy in a negative light.
Even Jewish people themselves are regularly called anti-Semitic or a self hating Jew if they speak out against Israel. This cannot be right as no country should have its actions shielded from inspection and discussion by unfounded claims of racism.
Definition of Anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitism is a term used to describe prejudice against or hostility towards Jews, often rooted in hatred of their religious/cultural/ethnic background.
Another way of inducing claims of being Anti-Semitic is by discussing Zionism in negative terms. For those people that don't know the difference Zionism is defined as this:
Zionism is the international Jewish political movement that originally supported the reestablishment of a homeland for the Jewish People in Palestine. The area was the Jewish Biblical homeland, called the Land of Israel (Hebrew: Eretz Yisra'el).
- Zionism is an ideology and a political movement.
- Israel is a country,
- and a Jew is someone who follows the Torah.
They are three separate entities and one can be a Jew who does not believe in Zionism or agree with Israels foreign policy.
You can also live in Israel and not be Jewish or you may be a Zionist, as many US Christian politicians claim to be, without being a Jew.
Therefore the three terms are not and should not be interchangeable and accusing opponents of Zionism of anti-semitism is a misnomer.
There are a lot of Jews who do not believe in Zionism mainly because it goes against the true teaching of the Torah and many believe the ideology of Zionism has tried to turn "being Jewish" from one who follows the religion of Judaism, one which anybody can convert to, into a nation or race and one that deserved a homeland.
The Jewish Diaspora believed that they had been expelled from the Holy land for disregarding God's will and that they would only ever return there when God had forgiven them and that their return would be mandated by God's will alone and without the aid of man.
Therefore Zionism was a political movement that tried to fulfil this ancient prophecy by their own means, a self-fulfilling prophecy so to speak and one which went against God's wish.
The great rabbis of the era were very concerned about the rise of Zionism and saw it as a threat to humanity non Jews and Jews alike due to its flagrant disregard to the true teachings of Judaism and disregard to the spiritual leaders of the religion.
Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, did not mince any words. Straight to the point he called Zionism "the work of Satan", "a sacrilege" and "a blasphemy". He forbade any participation with anything even remotely associated with Zionism and said that Zionism was bound to call the wrath of God upon His people.
Zionism really came to prominence during the first part of the 20th century with the Balfour declaration of 1917 being the start to mass immigration into Palestine and an act which many claim was a sign of treachery by German Jews. This was because it signified a payment by the British, who controlled Palestine at the time, to the Jews in return for them using their significant influence in American politics to bring the USA into World War I on their side and defeat the Germans.
This was something which probably contributed to Hitlers hatred of the Jews which festered until his rise to power when once again Zionism played a prominent role in the Jewish peoples fate, one which enabled Zionism to claim their prize of a homeland.
During the Second world war the Germans made numerous offers to the west which would have allowed many Jewish people safe passage out of occupied lands. However the Zionists who now had a strong foothold in Palestine and claimed authority over the Jewish people denied these requests because Palestine was ruled out as a destination.
Even when it was known that the Eastern European Jews were dying in their thousands at the hands of the Nazis the Zionists saw their political goal of a Jewish nation in Palestine as more important than the lives of their fellow man.
"when they asked me, "couldn't you give money out of the United Jewish Appeal funds for the rescue of Jews in Europe", I said NO! and I say again, NO!...one should resist this wave which pushes the Zionist activities to secondary importance." - Yitzhak Greenbaum
"The most valuable part of the Jewish nation is already in Palestine, and those Jews living outside Palestine are not too important" - Chaim Weizman
"One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Europe" - Yitzhak Greenbaum
Therefore many Jewish people needlessly died due to the political desires of Zionism during this period and it seems to have paid off after the war, with a little help from Zionist terrorist gangs such as Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang who killed many British soldiers and Palestinians in their drive for a Jewish state.
Is it hypocritical for Israel to denounce current Palestinian organisations such as Hamas as terrorists who should not be negotiated with when their own existence as a nation results from terrorist actions against the British and Palestinians? If logic were to decide then the answer would be yes.
In fact numerous Israeli prime ministers have their roots in these terrorist organisations including Menachim Begin who tool part in the King David Hotel bombing which killed 91 people.
Then we have Yitzhak Shamir, who was a leader of the Stern Gang, a terrorist group which was responsible for a string of political assassinations.
We also have a more recent example in Ariel Sharon who initiated the Sabra-Shatila massacre in which between 1000 and 3000 people people were killed.
Therefore claims of moral superiority cannot be made by the supporters of Israel as its very clear that we are dealing with a world full of moral relativism.
For some reason Israel seems to be able to conduct a policy of assassination of its enemies, shoot photographers and peace protesters and kill children and teenagers who can do nothing but throw stones at tanks who regularly bulldoze Palestinian houses without fear of international sanction and they seem to be right as they get away with it all the time. However they then try to claim the moral high ground when condemning the attacks carried out against them by Hamas or Hezbollah.
Yes the suicide bombings are awful and yes firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli towns is not an action that can be condoned. However they are the acts of a tortured people thrashing out anyway they can in a David and Goliath story where they are the David and Israel is now Goliath. It takes a twisted sort of logic to not come to the conclusion that the terrorist attacks on the Israeli people are not linked to the treatment of the Palestinian people.
A recent example of this double standards is how Israel and the USA has re-acted to the recent UN report on the war crimes committed by both sides during the recent Gaza conflict. We know Hamas hides within the civilian population and indiscriminately fires rockets into Israeli towns. However Israel also used chemical weapons e.g firing air burst white phosphorus shells on civilian populations including a UN compound. The large majority of victims in the Gaza conflict were women and children including 437 children under the age of 16.
The Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the UN report as a Kangaroo court and the US congress who could never be said to be in the pocket of Israel and its powerful AIPAC lobby recently voted down the UN report by a majority of 344 to 36.
Who were these courageous congressmen that voted with their conscience without fear of being labelled an anti-Semite?
Well two of them were Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul who both vote consistently without fear or favour. However for voting for the UN report Dennis was rewarded by being kicked off a Florida fund-raiser he was supposed to be headlining after the AIPAC lobby protested against his voting record.
Therefore it seems that Israel will most likely ignore the wishes of the international community just like it has done on the numerous other occasions that the UN has passed resolutions against it.
We must also remember that the UN actually passed a resolution in 1975 that equated Zionism with Racism. This was also denounced by the Israeli prime minister at his recent speech in the UN and it seems that Israel only respects the wishes of the international community when it suits them and decries as anti-Semitism anything that tries to hold their illegal actions to account.
I will most likely be labelled unfairly as being an Anti-Semite just for posting this article but hopefully those of you that have the ability to think for themselves with see that logically there is no way to equate Zionism with Judaism and to criticise Zionism or the actions of the Israeli state is in no way an attack on the Jewish religion.
I personally believe that all religion is hocus pocus and that the world will be a better off place without it.
Hopefully the rest of the world will catch up with this form of thinking as soon as possible as I think the only way that the Israelis and the Palestinians can live together peacefully is if religion was taken out the equation and a secular nation state comprising of Palestine and Israel is created where peoples of all faith, colours and creed can live together in a democratic state.

The more I read up on Israel and the history of deciet they are involved with it really makes me sick.
1. (Social Science / Peoples) a member of the group of Caucasoid peoples who speak a Semitic language, including the Jews and Arabs as well as the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Phoenicians
Abraham did not worship the God El the Moon God that is a Semitic Myth. Abraham was and his father and family were Sumerian priest who worhip Bel the Sun God called The god Utu, shepherd of the land, father of the black-headed” (Black et al. 17) in caanan it Baal and Asteroth or Isthar or Belita or Belit or Belili or Lilith the female version the Sun God Bel.Jews were originally black face Sumerians black Caucasians who loath by white Arab Semitic. At some point Jews were force to worship Moons Gods like El they did it willing and even the Semitic people appointed them in High positions in Moon worshipping priesthood like Enheduanna daughter of Jewish Sumerian Queen Tashlutum and Tashlutum mean being just lime Tishritu or Tistritum. Ashur is the Assyrian the the Sun God and started by Sargon Jewish wife Tashlutum from Ur Sumeria where Akitu started Sargon called the month Tashritum as his Jewish Sumerian wife Tashlutum a descend of Lilith or Belita in Ur. The Babylonians made Marduk the Moon god of Ur when the Semitic or Babylonians conquer Ur
Thus, in Babylonia, it started on the new moon closest to the spring equinox to honor the sky god Marduk; the Akitu nearest the fall equinox in Assyria honored the high god Ashur; and Akitus were held on both dates each Ben Shamesh (Hebrew, Jewish). The children or the “Sons of the Sun”. The term belongs to the period when the Jews were divided into moon and sun worshippers – Elites and Belites. (See “Bela- Shemesh”.)
“In Old Testament times, Nabonidus (555-539 BC), the last king of Babylon, built Tayma, Arabia as a center of Moon-god worship. Segall stated, “South Arabia’s stellar religion has always been dominated by the Moon-god in various variations.” Many scholars have also noticed that the Moon-god’s name “Sin” is a part of such Arabic words as “Sinai,” the “wilderness of Sin,” etc. When the popularity of the Moon-god waned elsewhere, the Arabs remained true to their conviction that the Moon-god was the greatest of all gods. While they worshipped 360 gods at the Kabah in Mecca, the Moon-god was the chief deity. Mecca was in fact built as a shrine for the Moon-god.
Abraham has 2 sons: Isaac -talmudism and Ishmael-islam. So in some point in the past semitic people, semitic is not nationality but linguistic group same as aryan linguitsic grop. Islam and judaism use Moon calendar based on phases ot the moon not the sun.
The worship of Aten, for example, in Ancient Egypt approximately 3500 years ago, is regarded as one of the first monotheistic religions. It was short lived, and fizzled out, on account of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten’s obsession with demonstrative sacrifices of food, and insistance on having his people build a new city, resulting in starvation and ill health of his city. Whilst monotheistic, he elevated his and his wife’s status as near God-like, and the human representatives of Aten on earth. Having forced Eyptians to break with tradition and worship this particular deity, and caused huge suffering as part of his religious revolution, they tried to erase him from history after his death. It is claimed by some that Psalm 104: 20-30 is actually based on a poem by Akhenaten to Aten, a declaration of love for his God, but was appropriated by Christians and used in a Christian context. Wife of Akhenaten was Nefertiti. Their son was Tutankhamun. Akhenaten is connected with Moses and there is theory that it is the same person.
So what religion was practiced in Roman empire in Jesus era? Mithraism, Mythraic mystery with center figure Mithra the Sun god. Symbol of Mithra was Wheel of Mithra which loox like circled svastika, also arms of swastika made by horse heads, and on the wheel was Mithra with hand in crucifixion position. Mithraism was brought from Persia by Teutonic Legion of Rome. And becasue it was official religion in Persia, greatest enemy of Rome they turned name Mithra to Jesus-Yeshua. Try: Pagan origins of christianity, or Mithra Jesus similarities. So who the was Jesus?
He was a member of an Essene sect that was deeply into Gnostic philosophies. You know the Gnostics, they’re the guys the Inquisition was created to destroy. The Church created the word Heretic to define them. Gnostics believe every person is an extension of God, so Yeshua (You call him Jesus) calling himself the Son of God wasn’t unique among the crowd he associated with. That’s what Yeshua was into.
Hebrew -Jewish religion as we know it today started AFTER the time of Jesus, so it would be incorrect to call Jesus a Jew. And the ancient Canaan/ Hebrew/Israelite religion is no longer practiced, so nobody could join it anyway. In any case, Jesus was highly critical of many of the key religious practices of his time.
There was never any such thing as Judaeo Christianity as all of the books of the bible are by Jewish authors only! The present bible was trimmed down by the Gentiles (Constantine the Great & Eusebuis) in a bid to Hijack Jesus (Yeshua) from Judaism as anti-Jesus teachings are paramount throughout Christianity! The early Christian movement in Rome became ant-Semitic and removed all Jewish elements from the early church. ” It is a word connected to Katha, and the Cathars [Kathas] relatives of the Nazarene-Essene communities of healers at the time of Jesus, banished by the Romans after the time of the crucifixion.”
“There were Jewish Gnostics and Greek-Syrian Gnostics. The Pyrenean Cathars were related to the latter ones. They were Oriental Greeks and in its Indo-Greek nature, Catharism rejected Judaism, the Hebrew books, Moses’ violence, Jehovah’s thunder.”
Vatican pressed Christianity by brutality since begining:The persecution of pagans by the Christian Roman Empire began late in the reign of Constantine the Great, when he ordered the pillaging and the torning down of some temples. The first anti-Pagan laws by the Christian state started with Constantine’s son Constantius II,which was an unwavering opponent of paganism; he ordered the closing of all pagan temples, forbade Pagan sacrifices under pain of death,and removed the traditional Altar of Victory from the Senate.[6] Under his reign ordinary Christians started vandalizing many of the ancient Pagan temples, tombs and monuments. This also goes for the later medieval Emperor Charlemagne, who in September, 774, decided that the Saxons (Westfali, Ostfali, and Angrarii) must be presented with the alternative of baptism or death.[90] and is also reported as having 4,500 pagan Saxons beheaded in the Massacre of Verden. According to the historian Ramsay MacMullen a council of bishops at Toledo in 681 called on civil authorities to seize and behead all those guilty of non-Christian practices of whatever sort.
The Khazars were strategically situated at the mouth of the Volga River, surrounded by the Caucasus mountains to the south, the Black Sea to the west, and the Khazar Sea (now Caspian Sea) to the east.Today rich on oil. They occupied a strategic key position in the vital gateway between the Seas where the great eastern powers of the period confronted each others.
Khazars were not only expert warriors, but aggressive merchants. At the peak of their power, they exacted a “tribute” (tax, extortion) of 10 percent from all traders, silk road, who had to pass through their dominion. This made them a wealthy, but despised nation. By the eighth century, their kingdom extended as far north as Kiev, Russia. At its peak, it encompassed one million square miles. for three of four centuries it was an untouchable empire. How many of you have ever heard of the Khazarian Empire?
In the eighth century (740 A.D.) something of _historic profoundness_ occurred in this kingdom. the Khazarian king (Kagan/Khan, Khakan or Chagan), having no religion for the kingdom beyond pagan phallic/idolatry worship, was getting pressure from the surrounding Christian Byzantine and Moslem empires to convert. According to the _Universal Jewish Encyclopedia_, the Khazar chieftain Bulan, “called representatives of Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedism to expound their doctrines before him”. Not wanting to associate himself with either side, so as not to incur the wrath (hence, a potential alliance of war) against them, King Bulan _chose as the nations religion, Talmudism_, now known as JUDAISM (and formally known as Pharisaism).
Originally, the Khazars practiced traditional Turkic shamanism, focused on the sky god Tengri, but were heavily influenced by Confucian ideas imported from China, notably that of the Mandate of Heaven. The Ashina clan were considered to be the chosen of Tengri and the kaghan was the incarnation of the favor the sky-god bestowed on the Turks.
Worship of Tengri is sometimes referred to as Tengriism. The core beings in Tengriism are Sky-Father (Tengri/Tenger Etseg) and Mother Earth (Eje/Gazar Eej). It involved shamanism, animism, totemism and ancestor worship.
After the mass conversion of the King and his empire, none other than a so called or self styled Jew ,could occupy the Khazarian throne. The empire became a virtual theocracy with the religious leaders being the civil administrators as well. During this time the Talmud was added to or altered to protect their state religion from any other outside religious influence and to prevent a return to previous vile worship styles.
When the Khazars in the first century B.C. invaded eastern Europe their mother-tongue was an Asiatic language, referred to in the Jewish Encyclopedia as the “Khazar languages”. they were primitive Asiatic dialects without any written alphabet or any written form. When King Bulan was converted in the 7th century he decreed that the Hebrew characters that he saw in the Talmud and other Hebrew documents was thereupon to become the alphabet for the Khazar language. the Hebrew characters were adopted to the phonics of the spoken Khazar language. The Khazars adopted the characters in order to provide a means for a written record of their speech.
The present day language of the Khazars is known as “Yiddish”. The Khazars adapted words to their requirements from the German, the Baltic and Slavonic languages.
The Khazars adopted a great number of words from the German language. The Germans had a much more advanced civilization than their neighbors the Khazars so the Khazars sent their children to German schools and higher learning institutions. The “Yiddish” is not a German dialect. Many are led to believe that “Yiddish” must be German since it shares so much with the German language. The Khazars must have spoken some language when they invaded Eastern Europe. What was the language that the Khazars spoke for over a thousand years? When did they discard it? How did an entire population discard one language for another all of a sudden?
“Yiddish” must not be confused with “Hebrew” because they both use the same characters as their alphabets. There is not one word of “Yiddish” in ancient “Hebrew” nor is there one word of ancient “Hebrew” in “Yiddish”. It was now a state religion. (“Facts are Facts”, by Benjamin Freedman, Jewish author and historian in a letter to Dr. David Goldstein). By the tenth century the ruler of Christian Russia, Vladimir III had conquered the Khazarian empire. but this is not the end of the story. In fact, it is only the beginning. The Khazars took the Hebrew characters they say in the Babylonian Talmud and applied them to the phonetics of the German, Russian,Turkish and other dialects around them. This hybrid language was known as _Yiddish_. Even with the disbandment of the Khazars, their language of Yiddish survived and still today forms a common bond between the people. Actually there is no word of ancient hebrew in yiddish. As you can see, the Khazars were _NOT_ and are not the Biblica lHebrew Judaists, but _claimed_ to be so as time went on. In some point Khazarian aristocracy moved west, out of Pale Setlement to Spain, Hungary, Germany. From spain we have khazars: Loyola-jesuits, alumbrado-iluminati, del Banco-Warburg family. From Hungary: Soros, Sarkozy, Bela Kun who killed russian tsar in bolshevik revolution. In 18. century Khazar elite concentrated in Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt at the time was the headquarters of the Jesuit, Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminatti, as well as Rothschild Brothers’ financial empire. This is worth repeating: Frankfurt was the birthplace of both the Illuminatti and the Rothschild empire. When Jacob Frank entered the city, the alliance between the two had already begun. Weishaupt provided the conspiratorial resources of the Jesuit Order, while the Rothschilds contributed the money. What was missing was a means to spread the agenda of the Illuminatti and that the Frankists added with their network of agents throughout the Christian and Islamic worlds. Rothschild ( biblical Ruth’s Child) shared house with Warburg,Weishaupt-Iluminati formerly alumbrado, Jacob Frank, Jacob Schiff. They created strategy to make alliances and get back former territory between Caspian and Black sea. First come French Revolution. Jacobin Iunius Frey aka Moses Dobrushka was Jacob Frank’s follower. And then they send financed Napoleon on his trip to Russia.
After they been expeled from Spain by inquisition and reconquista Khazars settled in Thessaloniki, Turkey and founded sect Donmeh.
In 18. century khazars from west organized rebelions in Pale Setlement against russian ruller. They also extend WW1 by 3 years to feed German military thru Belgium relief found by Britain and USA until Bolshevik revolution was done by commando comming from USA , Trotsky and 300 others, with 20 milion in gold from Jacob Frank. And then started murder Russians. It was not communist ideology it was revenge. In 1901 Stalin worked for Rotschild at his refinery in Batumi. Jacob Schiff helped Japan with war with Russia in 1904 which follow revolution 1905 after which Stalin was send to Siberia. After Lenin’s death Trostky supposed to be in charge in Russia, but Stalin kicked him of. So they founded build up German military what leads to WW2. Strategy of NATO is encircled Russia, Afghanistan,Iraq, and so on and prepare for final fight between Gog and Magog. Khazaria versus Russia.
And who are those biblical canaanite/hebrews? Palestinians. Israeli Historian: Palestinians Are Biological Descendants of Bible’s Jews: As for Palestine,
Schlomo Sand suggests that the Palestinians are the people we call “the Jews”
in the Bible: Apartfrom enslaved prisoners, the population of continued to live on their lands, even after the destruction of the second temple [in 70 AD]. Some converted to Christianity in the 4th century,while the majority embraced Islam during the 7th century Arab conquest.

The Myths of Untersberg
It is mysterious and legendary: The Untersberg – called “sleeping dragon” by the Dalai Lama.
On a 1992 visit to Austria, the Dalai Lama specifically asked to see the Mountain, calling it “a sleeping Dragon” and “The Heartchakra of the World” (chakra refers to an energy center in eastern terminology).
But this was not the first world-famous person to know of the mountain. Hitler was obsessed with it, hoping to gain access to supernatural beings and power to turn a war that he was loosing.
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread384938/pg1
The myths tell about time portals, lost persons and wondrous mountain dwellers like dwarfs. According to a legend, these dwarfs digged out the more than 400 caves in the Untersberg. But this is only one of many speculations about the mountain.
It is rumored, that emperor Karl the Great (similar is claimed about Friedrich Barbarossa) sleeps in the mountain in a subterrainian throne room together with his truthful knights and dwarfs for more than a thousand years. He´ll awake to the last battle between Good an Evil, when his beard has grown around his marmor table 3 times and the ravens don´t fly around the mountain peaks anymore.
Untersberg is in Bergtesgaden region wher Hitler has house with view on Untersberg.
The greatest flourishing of the Celts, around the middle of the first millenium BC, is known as Hallstadt culture. While the mines and settlements of the Celts around Hallstatt are impressive, they do not really compare in size and scope with those of the Salzburg-Berchtesgaden area. It is interesting that a number of early proto-Celtic settlements, coming at the transition from the Stone Age to the Metal Age, seem to be oriented toward the Untersberg. So there is a suggestion that the Untersberg may have had religious importance as far back as the Neolithic Age. Such sites include the Rainberg, Hellbrunn, and Zill.
http://www.untersberg.org
Friedrich Barbarossa was famous Teutonic ruller. And WW2 aginst Russia was promoted as war between Good and Evil, Stalin or commies. Hitler was brought into power by Warburgs,Rotschilds,Schiffs end so on. See Sutton: Wall street and the rise of Hitler. There is a speculation, that Hitler was Rotschild’s offspring, since his mother worked for Rotschild ine Vienna and became pregnant.
Were Germans prepared for biblical fight between Gog and Magog orchestrated by Khazars? “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog,the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” Ezekiel 38:2
http://steveinvista.wordpress.com/gog-and-magog/
Some expositors believe that the references to “Rosh, Meshech and Tubal” in Ezekiel 38 refers to Russia, Moscow and Tobolsk, two of Russia’s major cities.
