Zionism - An Answer to Nazism?
Aby July 31st, 2007
I once had a discussion with a Canadian colonel and a few of his colleagues serving the NATO forces in Belgrade, about Zionism and the side effects it is causing to the world peace. It appears that in the western world especially the Anglo Saxon USA, UK or Canada, any ideological anti-Zionism is considered as Nazism and the majority unable to see the middle path of humanity. In 1975 the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 was passed stating that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination” which was later ratified due to heavy Anglo-US opposition. Today a lot of North Americans see Zionism and Jew appeasement as an answer to Nazism, which is considered as short sighted and racist by neutral countries in modern Europe, Asia and Africa alike.
Anti-Zionism protests in Europe during the Israeli aggression on Lebanon in 2006.
Modern Zionism arose because of the several complex political and social developments that took place in the world during and after the World War 2 in Europe. The genocidal mass massacre of Jews under Hitler’s regime in National Socialist Germany gave a guilt complex to Americans as they contributed to the Nazi Holocaust in several ways - financially and politically. There are also religious beliefs among those of Abrahamic faiths that the Jews are people of God and need to be rehabilitated to Israel and protected at all costs which gave them a justification for Zionism. These factors culminated to the widespread Jew appeasement in Anglo-US countries. It also led them to the creation of a religiously polarised Jewish state of Israel. This developments gave a cause and justification to the later Nazi supporters and anti-Semitic hate groups in US and abroad. It also created unhealthy anti-Semitism among Arabs because of the blatant Zionism in their homeland by the Allied victors after the World War 2 (most notably the Palestinian conflict and Suez Canal Crisis).
The Jews by their very nature are peaceful and intellectual people, who have proved themselves time and again by their countless contributions to the cause of modern science, humanity and politics. It is an insult to this community to think that they cannot live in normal secular and democratic societies without the aid of appeasement and Zionist policies. Nazism is half a century old ideology, hardly of relevance today. The western obsession with Nazis has created a positive heroic view of Nazis in youngsters who often take to Neo-Nazism as an expression of their rebel attitude. It can hardly be countered by Zionism, which is the form of extremist racism standing at an opposite pole to Nazism. Neither is Nazism as justification of Zionism and nor is Zionism as justification of Nazism. Jews are after all humans like us; we cannot have a world order where Jew appeasement regains supreme over the human rights of other humans, especially in countries like Yugoslavia and Palestine. This would make us no better than the original Nazis, if we were to counter racism with equal and opposite racism.

I just want to say that your essay is some of the most hateful and mean spirited writings regarding Jews and Zionism I have ever witnessed on the Internet and that I hope that you burn in hell you bigoted anti-Semite!
@A Zionist - As per this site’s policy of free speech I have allowed this accusatory and false comment here. However I would request you to point out a single anti-semitic statement I made so that your accusation could e held credible. Instead I talk about the emancipation and trust we must place in Jews to rule themselves, in this article. Most of the Jews in the intellectual agree that Zionism is marginalising them than helping their cause for self reliance. If you have nothing to prove my anti semitism, I suggest you avoid making such defamatory and accusatory generalisations in a person and calling someone anti-semite without justification.
Threats of hell do not work on a person who is not blind from religious beliefs and neither does Zionism, something declared as racism impress me. We do not support any kind of racism on our site and this includes anti-semitism, Nazism or Zionism.
Did I miss something??? There is nothing anti-semite in this article, A Zionist. Looks like you didn’t even bother to read this essay before commenting.
As soon as one guy says something about zionism and the other guy thinks “Oh this guy is a nazi” without giving a minutes thought. Shame!
Israel needs all the help it can get. It is a democratic civilized nation surrounded by psychotic bloodthirsty Arabs.
@ Suvodi
“bloodthirsty arabs”

look at these pics
and then you tell me who’s bloodthirsty.
Sovudi gives the typical hippocritic answer. Does he care that the Israelis killed more Palestinian civilians than the other way round? I don’t think it matters to him that Israel went into wars with Egypt over a commercial dispute, practises racism in its own land and illegally displaced over 0.9 million Palestinians from their homeland. It does not matter who is a Jew and who is not. It matter what is permissible and what is not, and US has shown double standards here by their shameless support of such illegal activities on one side while condemning those of their enemies. There should be an equal scale don’t you think?
so about my nice gallery up there if you still dont approve i’ll be happy to show you more…….
Israel is illegally occupying and settling Palestine for more than 40 years now, redundantly massacred Palestinians (more than 3000 deaths in the last two years alone!) and repressing their education and welfare system. That is a continued aggression against the arabs. I thank nofal for pointing out the things which Israelis do.
