Zionism Laid Bare « Aletho NewsThe essential point of M. Shahid Alam’s book, Israeli Exceptionalism: The Destabilizing Logic of Zionism, comes clear upon opening the book to the inscription in the frontispiece. From the Persian poet and philosopher Rumi, the quote reads, “You have the light, but you have no humanity. Seek humanity, for that is the goal.” Alam, professor of economics at Northeastern University in Boston and a CounterPunch contributor, follows this with an explicit statement of his aims in the first paragraph of the preface. Asking and answering the obvious question, “Why is an economist writing a book on the geopolitics of Zionism?” he says that he “could have written a book about the economics of Zionism, the Israeli economy, or the economy of the West Bank and Gaza, but how would any of that have helped me to understand the cold logic and the deep passions that have driven Zionism?”
Until recent years, the notion that Zionism was a benign, indeed a humanitarian, political movement designed for the noble purpose of creating a homeland and refuge for the world’s stateless, persecuted Jews was a virtually universal assumption. In the last few years, particularly since the start of the al-Aqsa intifada in 2000, as Israel’s harsh oppression of the Palestinians has become more widely known, a great many Israelis and friends of Israel have begun to distance themselves from and criticize Israel’s occupation policies, but they remain strong Zionists and have been at pains to propound the view that Zionism began well and has only lately been corrupted by the occupation. Alam demonstrates clearly, through voluminous evidence and a carefully argued analysis, that Zionism was never benign, never good—that from the very beginning, it operated according to a “cold logic” and, per Rumi, had “no humanity.” Except perhaps for Jews, which is where Israel’s and Zionism’s exceptionalism comes in.
Let’s talk about the preponderance of control by “Jewish” groups and Israel within the United States.
*Israel strongly implicated in the 9/11 attacks (Dancing Israelis anyone?), however, Israel is also the source for most of intelligence information on the so-called “war on terror” initiated by the 9/11 attacks.
*Israel commits false-flags to engender support for Jewish causes (Lavon Affair, USS Liberty).
*Israel lobby (AIPAC) pretty much runs the US political apparatus.
*Israel commits most of the espionage against the US interests.
*Israel dominates the post-9/11 training of US police forces.
*Israel companies are spying on us day and night for the NSA…
*Israel contractors run many private prisons here in the US.
*Israel ran security for the 9/11 airports and the Fukushima reactors, and are now providing security for US nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile,
*Jewish interests dominate the MSM and Hollywood.
*Jewish interests dominate international banking, Wall Street.
*Jewish organizations dominate the post-9/11 DHS security grants.
*Jewish politicians dominate the Senate and House intelligence committees, and Homeland Security leadership.
*Jewish political leaders such as Feinstein and Steinberg are the driving force behind the gun control laws.
*Jewish Talmud is replete with many examples of gentiles being characterized as “sub-human”.
Based on what I know of the Talmud attitude towards gentiles, I think the United States, the gentiles living there are in for a rough ride. Literally millions of lives are at stake.
