- While Zionism is clearly a nationalist ideology, that
narrow framing does the term an injustice as it is so much more.
-
- Zionism is more accurately described as a strategy for
targeting thought and emotion as a means to influence behavior. Naïve
Jews were its first victims when induced to identify with an enclave in
the Middle East that President Harry Truman, a Christian Zionist, was induced
to recognize as a "state."
-
- Zionism is first and foremost a mental state that manifests
as a dispersed form of internalized nationalism-a Diaspora-that binds to
an extremist enclave those who may never set foot there. After 1967, this
"state" became the "Land of Israel" based on a more
expansive area seized by Israel Defense Forces along with other occupied
lands that Zionists claim a god gave them.
-
- Zionism recruits by sustaining a shared sense of insecurity
within the broader Jewish community. It progresses by marketing its perceived
vulnerability and victimhood among those on whom it relies for financial,
military and diplomatic support.
-
- When, as now, policies of the Zionist state come under
attack, media campaigns herald an outbreak of anti-Semitism and hatred-not
for Zionism but for Jews, enhancing recruitment.
-
- By choosing to identify their interests with those of
Zionism, Jews choose to make themselves feel insecure. Zionism relies for
its success not only on deception but also on self-deceit.
-
- Many well-informed Jews opposed Israel's founding in
1948. By 1967, Jewish-Americans were active in the civil rights movement.
With the Six-Day War, that activism became problematic. How could Jews
back civil rights for Blacks while Zionism denied those rights to Palestinians?
-
- That era marked a turning point both for Zionism and
legitimate Judaism as many Jews abandoned civil rights activism when they
could no longer reconcile their activism with Israeli oppression. Thus
the present mental state of Barack Obama's many Jewish Zionist advisers.
-
- The Six-Day War induced more Jews to identify with Zionism
as a defender of Jews. Yet now we know that war was a long-planned land
grab destined to outrage Arabs and Muslims. When combined with a murderous
occupation, decades of Israeli provocations were guaranteed to evoke the
violent reactions required to rationalize a "war on terrorism."
-
- In terms of game theory war planning, today's results
were perfectly predictable-mathematically model-able within an acceptable
range of probabilities. Once again Zionism targeted thought and emotion
to manipulate behavior by provoking antagonism and evoking extremism-the
two key ingredients required to plausibly proclaim their insecurity.
-
- When your numbers are few and your ambitions vast, what
choice did Zionists have but to seduce and deceive a super power so that
our military would wage their wars for Greater Israel?
-
- Peace is the Opponent
-
- Peace is a perilous 'state' to be avoided at any cost
by a nationalist ideology that thrives on serial crises wed to a perpetual
state of conflict and fear. To realize the Zionist goal of hegemony over
the Middle East requires a series of plausible Evil Doers and a persuasive
narrative. Could Zionism be the reason we segued so seamlessly from the
Cold War to the War on Terrorism?

-
- Instead of the anticipated post-Cold War "peace
dividend, the U.S. finds itself waging what Nobel economist Joe Stiglitz
calls The $3 Trillion War-all of it borrowed, including $700 billion in
interest expense.
-
- In hindsight, the phony intelligence that induced us
to war in the Middle East was traceable to Israelis, pro-Israelis or assets
developed for that purpose such as Iraqi liar Ahmad Chalabi.
-
- Other than those sharing a Zionist mental state, who
had the means, motive, opportunity and, importantly, the stable nation-state
intelligence to conduct such operations inside the U.S.?
-
- Yet even now those responsible elude accountability and
even scrutiny as cries of "anti-Semitism" are deployed to intimidate
and misdirect-by manipulating thought and emotion.
-
- At the end of World War II, the U.S. claimed 50% of the
world's productive power, ensuring we would have the world's top-rated
government bonds for at least two generations. When the Cold War drew to
a costly close in 1989, the U.S. had spent $15.9 trillion on defense since
1948 (in 2010 dollars). Now a potential war without end has taken its place.
-
- Americans have been induced to believe that the Zionist
state is an ally. We are not alone in viewing Israel as a legitimate nation
and a noble experiment to provide a "homeland" for a victimized
people. That alluring storyline victimized the broader Jewish community
while also laying waste to the nation that was first deceived to extend
to Zionists the hand of friendship.
-
- To escape the ravages of Zionism requires that we concede
its duplicitous nature and make its operations transparent so that its
perpetrators become apparent. As a long-deceived global public grasps its
costs in blood and treasure, this mental state will be seen for what it
is: a criminal state.
-
- The Psychopath Within
-
- In the clinical psychiatric literature, this "state"
features interpersonal traits such as superficial charm, pathological lying,
egocentricity, lack of remorse, and callousness that are regarded as characteristic
of psychopaths. In order to betray, psychopaths first befriend. In order
to defraud, they first establish a relationship of trust. Sound familiar?
-
- Those who share such a mental state will happily incite
hatred to catalyze a reaction and then claim they are the victims of hate.
For those inhabiting this mental state, it appears rational and even desirable
to provoke a response and then claim to be a target of anti-Semites. Inside
this internal state, self-absorption is all-encompassing with arrogance
its most visible trait.
-
- Law is irrelevant to those who consider themselves above
the law. Morality and conscience are of no concern to those who consider
themselves The Chosen-by a god of their own choosing. Such a nationalist
ideology has no place in a system nation states dedicated to the rule of
law.
-
- Those sharing such a "state" pose too great
a peril to be an object of pity or compassion. Accountability is the only
appropriate response along with an initiative-deploying force as required-to
secure any weapons of mass destruction that may be in their possession.
-
- Such a state cannot be delegitimized because any legitimacy
attained was integral to the fraud it inflicted on the community of nations.
The issue at hand is how best to protect a peace-seeking world from a psychopathic
ideology that assumed the appearance of legitimacy so that a Christian
Zionist president could be deceived to recognize as a nation a criminal
state.
