The sustained anti-Israel de-legitimization campaign is a corollary of the millenarian obsession with the Jews in the Christian and the Muslim worlds. Since Israel is the world’s only Jewish state, and since Zionism is the Jewish people’s national liberation movement, anti-Zionism—as opposed to criticism of specific Israeli policies or actions—means denial of the Jewish right to national self-determination. Such a discriminatory denial of this basic right to only one nation (and one of the few that can trace their corporate identity and territorial attachment to antiquity) while allowing it to all other groups and communities, however new and tenuous their claim to nationhood, is pure and unadulterated anti-Jewish racism, or anti-Semitism as it is commonly known.
By any conceivable standard, Israel has been an extraordinary success story: national rebirth in the ancestral homeland after millennia of exile and dispersion; resuscitation of a dormant biblical language; the creation of a modern, highly educated, technologically advanced, and culturally and economically thriving society, as well as a vibrant liberal democracy in one of the world’s least
democratic areas. It is a world leader in agricultural, medical, military, and solar energy technologies, among others; a high-tech superpower attracting more venture capital investment per capita than the United States and Europe; home to one of the world’s best health systems and philharmonic orchestras, as well as to ten Nobel Prize laureates. And so on and so forth.
Why then is Israel the only state in the world whose right to exist is constantly debated and challenged while far less successful countries, including numerous “failed states,” are considered legitimate and incontestable members of the international community? The answer offered by this article is that this pervasive prejudice against Israel, the only Jewish state to exist since biblical times, is a corollary of the millenarian obsession with the Jews in the Christian and the Muslim worlds.
On occasion, notably among devout and/or born again Evangelical Christians, this obsession has manifested itself in admiration and support for the national Jewish resurrection in the Holy Land. In most instances, however, anti-Jewish prejudice and animosity, or anti-Semitism as it is commonly known, has served to exacerbate distrust and hatred of Israel. Indeed, the fact that the international coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the libels against Zionism and Israel, such as the despicable comparisons to Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa, have invariably reflected a degree of intensity and emotional involvement well beyond the normal level to be expected of impartial observers would seem to suggest that, rather than being a response to concrete Israeli activities, it is a manifestation of long-standing prejudice that has been brought out into the open by the vicissitudes of the conflict.
Anti-Zionism or Anti-Semitism?

Another issue front dangerous to Israel is the presence of Arab Muslims living in Israel; known as “Arab Israelis”.
It is high time that they be deported. Their presence is a constant danger and I am seeing more and more interviews with them on RT.com.
http://www.rt.com/news/israel-defense-arab-servicemen-559/
They regard the Palestinians and brothers thus deeming their presence to be a danger. The very few amongst them believe that they should serve but the presence of Arab Muslims in Israel, gives me the creeps.
Deport these young arab muslims to the arab muslim hell hole of their choice.
To Arabs who question how can a Jew from Canada have the right to live in Israel and they must be deported, I can say that my presence does not pose danger to Israel. Your presence does.
How can the Israelis deal with the fact that these creatures do not have to serve yet benefit from Israel’s precious resources?
How can Israel even allow RT.com to broadcast from Israel while their website is full of vile hate towards Jews and Israel. Deport this Aussie reporter at the same time. A Burqa will do her well.
HEY JEWS!!
Judge Overrules Jewish Mother, OKs 10-Year-Old Child’s Baptism
A British judge has allowed a 10-year-old Jewish child to convert to Christianity against her Jewish mother’s wishes.
Video: Jewish Groups Document Canadian ‘Anti-Semitic Hate Rally’
Canadian Jewish groups urge the Ontario government to stop an “anti-Semitic hate rally” from taking place on the steps of the legislature.
Elav Promo 2012 calls for Jesus revolution in Israel+
The stupid Israeli Government is allowing and even aiding and abetting these missionaries and their activities. Christian MONEY has corrupted our politicians and our political system to favor Jewish enemies over Jews and Judaism, in the land of Israel.
I can see a violent reaction and it will not be pretty if this continues.
Part 4: Anti-Zionists’ frequent comparison of Israel to the Nazis is a form of deflecting their own Nazi methods and goals.
The ones who are really using Nazi propaganda tactics are the anti-Zionists.
And PA and Gaza Arabs not only have a historical and ideological connection to Adolf Hitler, but they continue to adopt his methods and ultimate goal of destroying the Jews. Their supporters are also, deliberately or not, sharing their goal.

Part 3: Instead of reaffirming unequivocally Israel’s security and legitimacy and the protection of Israeli Jews, authorities too often appear to do the opposite:
– They sanction brutal expulsions of Jews by police/IDF, thereby further eroding Jewish dignity and basic rights. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142573
– They remain ineffective in the prevention of Arab violence and terror in the streets of Israel, at Temple Mount, etc.
– They are indifferent to widespread Arab takeover of private and public property. http://www.regavim.org.il/en/
– They encourage the empowerment of PA Arabs, by allowing them to create an army and the foundations for an independent country, which will eventually be at war with Israel.
– And they continue to support Land for Peace disastrous policies.
So the international anti-Zionist attempt at demoralizing Israeli Jews is made worse by Israeli authorities’ own ineffective and misguided policies.
Part 2: I was reading Shirer’s book the other day and these paragraphs struck me as the same methodology used by anti-Zionists and anti-Semites in general to demoralize Israelis.
The character-assassination method used by anti-Zionists is not just aimed at partitioning Israel for the creation of another Arab state. It is mostly a direct attack to the spirit of the Jews, a softening up of the target for the eventual kill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anti-Zionists, like Hitler before them, are ratcheting up these psychological tactics to the maximum.
That’s why it is incomprehensible how Israeli authorities do not fight back but continue to play nice and surrender, surrender, and surrender some more.
Most blatant example is how Israel rents air frequencies to PA-TV, the very same medium that uses virulent Nazi propaganda aimed at Israel and the Jews. http://palwatch.org/

Haven’t read Mein Kampf, but William L. Shirer did.
When writing about Hitler’s early political formation, Shirer describes him watching and studying intently the tactics of a successful political movement: the Social Democrats.
Hitler came to three conclusions which he summarized in Mein Kampf. Shirer says that no more precise analysis of Nazi tactics – as Hitler was eventually to develop them – was ever written.
Hitler concluded that “Social Democrats knew how to create a mass movement; they had learned the art of mass propaganda; and they knew the value of using what he calls “spiritual and physical terror.”
Mein Kampf:
“I understood the infamous spiritual terror which this movement exerts, particularly on the bourgeoisie; at a given sign it unleashes a veritable barrage of lies and slanders against whatever adversary seems most dangerous until the nerves of the attacked persons break down… This is a tactic based on precise calculation of all human weaknesses, and its result will lead to success with almost mathematical certainty…
“I achieved an equal understanding of the importance of physical terror toward the individual and the masses… For while in the ranks of their supporters the victory achieved seems a triumph of the justice of their own cause, the defeated adversary in most cases despairs of the success of any further resistance.”
