The founding Congress of World Zionism in Basel 1897 is strangely being commemorated these days on public radio in Germany.
Zionism is contrary to the UN-spirit, a nationalistic, even chauvinistic and racist philosophy. In its essence it is as much a distortion of Judaism as is "Islamism" is with respect to Islam. All such comparable antihuman, aggressive and shrewd ideologies can easily lead to terrorism.
Zionism, Islamism, like the chauvinistic Hinduism of the Hindutva and Christian fundamentalism and comparable forms of fundamentalism are contradictory to any humanistic attitude. Such ideologies hurt their adherents and their families and friends as much as they consequently hurt neighboring peoples.
"National-Socialism" was as an ideology with alleged high aspirations as contradictory to Socialism as the above mentioned ideologies are to what they claim to be. NS-ideology led the German people into a catastrophic defeat and it led the world to the brink of total destruction. It was an ideology that had put into practice lethal consequences for all Jewish people and on the long run it would have been lethal for the rest of humanity.
"National-Socialism" was the most extreme form of German fascism. Yet, it is not the only and not the final form of fascism. For an indepth definition of fascism see Georg Dimitrov (1935).
Today Zionism is one of the most dangerous ideologies. Islamism in the form of Wahabism or Djihadism is nothing much better. They are altogether inventions of Western colonialist spirits. They are aggressive and brutal mind sets and they tend to violate the most basic human values as substantial to all world religions.
Put into political practice all the above mentioned ideologies are threating neighboring countries with war. Even nuclear warfare is one of their options. However, Zionism was not invented by religious or socially conscious Jewish people. Imperialist colonialists of various nations stood at its cradle, let us not forget this. God-parents of the above mentioned mind sets are colonialists and fascists. Such harmful world views dictated by bought up intellectuals are twin-sisters and brothers of fascism. Zionism put in action brings quasi necessarily dangerous new waves of anti-semitism as a logical result with it. It is therefore contradictory to anything human and certainly not in the service of the nation of Israel, nor in the interest of Jews any where in the world. We must hence learn how to comprehend its true nature and see clearly who keeps feeds it. We need to construct a peaceful future without fundamentalist ideologies and its terroristic results.
As we strive for a peace in justice and for human and humane survival, we have to come to an realistic and truthful understanding of the material forces behind "Zionism".
Zionism is contradictory to Judaism says Israeli historian Shlomo Sand. Judaismus is therefore not identical with Zionism - on the contrary.
Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion. This religion laid the ground for Christianity and Islam. Like all religions Judaism strives universally for a better, a human life on earth. Judaism is as universal as the religions that followed on is foot-prints. Therefore it cares for and respects humanitarian and international law. The UN-Charter is the embodyment of such a universal moral. Therefore the Charter is respected by all nations, no matter how disrespectful some "leaders" my treat this precious document at times.Zionism is contrary to the UN-spirit, a nationalistic, even chauvinistic and racist philosophy. In its essence it is as much a distortion of Judaism as is "Islamism" is with respect to Islam. All such comparable antihuman, aggressive and shrewd ideologies can easily lead to terrorism.
