The Jewish Problem in America

John Anast

Al-Jazeerah, 12/5/03

...Racist apartheid Israel is a foreign country and if Zionists feel some special bond to Israel they should move there and not remain in our midst in America. It's time to make Washington and the rest of America a Zionist-free territory. It is also time to enforce UN Resolutions against Israel and remove Israel's Weapons of Mass Destruction "WMD" -- we know where those WMD are located and they are not in Iraq. Every person who calls themselves a Christian or a Muslim must take heed and look closely at Palestine and realize "through a looking glass darkly" it is a warning that the way in which the Zionists treat the Palestinians is in fact the same way they will treat you if you allow it.

The Jewish Problem in America II: A response and a rebuttal

Al-Jazeerah, 12/12/03

David Gordon:

...Part of the reason that many American Jews continue to support Israel despite its repressive policies is that at bottom, they see themselves as victims of a larger world that--in their view--remains prejudiced against them. From such a vantage point, attacks by Palestinians fit neatly into a narrative of longstanding, continuing persecution against the Jewish people. In my view, this approach is a tragic mistake, especially insofar as it blocks from the get-go any serious look at the harshness of the Israeli occupation. If those who support the Palestinian cause wish to talk with the American Jewish community rather than talk at them, though, they are going to have to understand the victim-outlook that pervades that community. The point, I think, should be to loosen or dislodge the victim-outlook. Unfortunately, over-the-top name-calling will only reinforce that outlook by inspiring defensiveness rather than much-needed introspection.

John Anast:

...In modern America Jews enjoy all of the benefits, freedoms and opportunities of American society. Not since pre-war Germany have Jews been so free and so advantaged. This did not happen overnight, but through hard work, study, perseverance and by overcoming the prejudice which all immigrants face entering America. Not many American Jews as a percentage of the population intend ever to move to Israel, maybe to Florida but not to Israel. America is the land of their birth, and in many cases "the land where their fathers died", why should they then choose to support a foreign land over their own? But it would seem that Zionism has in fact replaced Torah, Israel has replaced Torah, and now to be a good "Jew" one has to provide unequivocal support for Zionism renamed Israel. Like the Christian preachers who pick and choose only those Bible passages which suit their needs, entire volumes of Torah are simply forgotten as immaterial. Perhaps I had an advantage by studying both Torah and the New Testament, to wit: many Jews understand more about the New Testament than so-called "Evangelists ever will, but never correct them. That said these same Jews cannot remove the "cedar of Lebanon from their own eye" to see that Zionism and all its benefits and all its transgressions has become their religion...
