Anti-Imperialism/Foreign Policy

Deliberately Conflating Judaism with Zionism Will Not End Well

Readers might have noticed in the two to three decades, that any criticism of Israel or any despicable specimen of a human being who happens to be Jewish is immediately labelled as “anti-Semitic” in USA and other western countries. This bullshit labeling is often pushed by certain “NGOs” such as the ADL, SPLC and equivalents in other western countries. Some of you might remember a time, not that long ago, when even accusations against Jefferey Epstein were labelled as “anti-Semitic” as were critics of the Sackler family of OxyContin fame. These “NGOs” want to tell us that critiques of George Soros is also “anti-Semitic”- which is funny because the guy admitted in more than one old televised interview that as a teenager he actively collaborated with the SS during the Nazi occupation of Hungary during WW2.

So before we go further let us make some things clear. Firstly, I do not belong to any of the three Abrahamic religions. Personally, I find religions interesting only as an object of study into the human psyche and have no desire to believe in the fairy tales found in their “holy books”. My view on modern secular religions such as capitalism, socialism, environmentalism etc is similarly negative. I also have no skin in the fight between nutcases from various religious groups, apart from how their conflicts will affect my lifestyle. My whole worldview is based on an objective analysis of how various people, personalities, developments, trends etc interact with each other to create various possible versions of the future. Now let us get back to why conflating a minority religion with ethno-nationalism is such a bad idea.

1] Let us honest about something- followers of Judaism (henceforth referred to as Jews) have always been a minority, are a minority and will remain so in the foreseeable future. Even In Israel, non-Jews will outnumber Jews within a decade or so. While this might seem trivial and obvious, it has all sorts of effects that are rarely spelled out nowadays. For starters, the range of options for action available to a small minority who is not on the demographic upswing are much narrower than those available to another minority on a demographic upswing. This holds even if the demographically stagnant minority is much richer or more powerful at that moment in time. What I am trying to say is that Muslims in western countries will soon have a far larger impact on the policies of the countries in which they reside than Jews. This will occur regardless of whether the old leaders of those countries want to go down those paths.
