Internet outflanks Zionists' Maginot Line
ZIONISM is RACISM.
"In New York, Hassidic Jews openly equate Zionism with Nazism, and consider the state of Israel to be a blasphemy. Are these people anti-Semitic?"
Given their influence in government and media, one would think that North American zionists would feel rather contented. For example:
- Media and government both genuflect before the canonical verities of “Israel’s right to exist,” “anti-Semitism” and “the six million”;
- Palestinian victims make up 75 percent of deaths, but Jewish deaths account for 75 percent of media coverage;
- Muslims are said to commit “terror attacks,” whereas Israeli soldiers commit “incursions”;
- anti-Israeli comments are vehemently denounced, but anti-Muslim comments are often ignored or downplayed; and
- general reporting about the Middle East is reactive—free of any historical context that could embarrass Israel or challenge basic zionist myths.
