Israel's actions today (which your tax dollars as an American citizen or resident fund, support, assist and protect) against Christians and Muslims within the Occupied Territories and Israel proper are equivalent in every respect to Nazi Germany and its treatment of Jews between 1938 and 1941.

The Politics of Anti-Semitism

Protesting this, Zionism and its carnage, is not anti-Semitic, anti-Israel or conspiracy theorist.  As there is no defense for these actions, those loyal to Zionism choose the propaganda ploy called character assassination coupling it with public persecution in an effort to deflect attention from their atrocities through the use of these labels.  This breeds fear, causing people to stop questioning and accept for fear of being labeled. People who have been labeled anti-Semitic for going against Zionism include President Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, Mel Gibson, The Pope, Charlie Reese, Joseph Sobran and the latest target for hitting too close to home, Britain's George Galloway. Jewish persons don't escape this defamation either: The Holocaust Industry author Norm Finkelstein, Professor Noam Chomsky and the late Israel Shahak have all been called anti-Semitic for objecting to Zionism.  None of these people are of course. It's a label designed to dumb down people and stop them listening.  It used to work pretty good, but like the boy who cried wolf...eventually people see it for what it is.  Now its a good indication the person is hitting on the truth.

Though not anti-Semitic to object to Zionism, supporting or defending it is 100% anti-American.  To place the welfare of another country before your own leaves questions of loyalty and of intent.  To uphold, fund and protect the genocide of an entire race of people is not only anti-American, it is also a war crime categorized under "Crimes Against Humanity".

Nazism Then Nazi children routinely bullied, defamed and acted out against those of the Jewish faith, persons of color and anyone not in line with National Socialism. Nazi children were taught in their schools that anyone not Aryan is subhuman. Nazism taught its followers that they were racially superior, above reproach and entitled to the land of others because 30 years prior it was theirs.

Zionism Today Zionist children routinely bully, defame and act out against those not of the Jewish faith. Zionist children are taught in their schools that anyone not Jewish is subhuman. Zionism teaches its followers that they are racially superior, above reproach and entitled to the land of others because 4,000 years ago, an ancestor was given stewardship.

Israel an American Value? 

How is hate an American Value?
 

Israel an American Value? 

When did concentration camps engulfing entire cities
become an American Value?
 

Part III: Racism as official State Policy from the beginning…

Israel is an American value? When did the affairs of foreign countries become the value system of Americans? Are we supposed to embrace a foreign country because it gets attacked? Of course not. Israel wouldn't have a terrorist problem if it upheld the promises it made when its statehood was granted.  It hasn't and according to the writings of its founders, it never intended to. Racism has always been intrinsic to Zionism. State sanctioned apartheid and terrorism constitute founding principles and values of Israel and the Zionist movement according to the laws currently on the books in Israel and the writings of:

Theodor Herzl...

"Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment... Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly."

Theodor Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of the Arabs of Palestine, Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.

"If we (the Zionists) move into a region where there are wild animals to which the Jews are not accustomed-big snakes, etc.-I shall use the natives (the Palestinians), prior to giving them employment in the transit countries, for the extermination of these animals."

Theodor Herzl, ibid, Vol.I, pp.108-109

Joseph Weitz...

"There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a high percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our surveillance; and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities of a neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument:...the need to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a non-Jewish minority limited to 15 percent. I had already reached this fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary."

Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department. From Israel: an Apartheid State by Uri Davis, p.5.

Benjamin Netanyahu

Ariel Sharon

"Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements² because everything we take now will stay ours... Everything we don't grab will go to them."

Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.

"Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial," ³

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon -Sunday, 25 March, 2001
quoted in BBC News Online (in response to the international fact-finding mission, headed by former US senator George Mitchell, investigating what sparked the 2000 September Intifada)

and David Ben Gurion to name a few.

We must do everything to insure they ( the Palestinians) never do return....The old will die and the young will forget."

David Ben Gurion, 1948

Based upon the principles and values the United States is founded on and the principles and values Israel is founded on, no correlation or synergy exists.

Therefore the question: Is Israel, the current apartheid state an American value? Let's take a look at what is an American value:

We hold these truths
to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

How do the pictures and statements witnessed in this essay support the above statement?

CONCLUSION

Rather than Israel moving toward our value system of democracy, equal rights and a respect for all human life regardless of race, creed, origin or sex, the United States increasingly adopts Israel's distortion of these.  Prior to our favored nation affinity, the United States' people opposed beatings, forced internment, murder, pre-emptive wars, torture, lying, victimization and collective punishment. Not only are these policies in violation of our Constitution, each violates the teachings of Jesus Christ. American values find their origin in the Gospels, rather than the Talmud, which Israeli law draws on.  These two collections are fundamentally incompatible.  The American values expressed by our founding fathers versus the Israeli values illustrated, Americans need to decide which is who we are.  We say those of our founding fathers are our values yet we act like Israel.   Since the primary drivers of this disparity in conscience claim to be Christian, did not Jesus admonish people who present themselves one way yet act another?

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence."

Matthew 23:25

Within the gospels and New Testament there are several passages dealing with God's number one pet peeve, hypocrisy. They follow the familiar morality line of doing as one preaches. Perhaps the Christian Zionists including our President, so blindly supporting Israel, akin to idol worship some will say, and driving these genocidal and imperialistic policies may take time to read these passages, along with the Book of ACTS rather than regurgitating versus without practicing their meaning. A miracle in the making? No.  Those driving this are Christians and Jesus would never support Zionism. It is man's arrogance to believe God requires our help to cause Armageddon. In the end their faith and hearts will show them THE WAY ⁴.

In conclusion, let us ask the question we began with: Given the facts on the ground, Is Israel an American value?

Answer: No, thank God it is not. <END>

[2] Each Israeli Settler's family choosing to go against international law and settle in the Occupied Territories is rewarded with $30,000.  Most of this is made possible from US Tax dollar grants, loans and aid, which go to fund other services allowing monies to be diverted to the establishment of settlements outside of Israel in the Occupied lands. Thou Sharon pretends he is a great peacemaker, he's known as THE BUTCHER for the massacres of over 1800 men, women and children he led in Lebanon in 1983. Sharon cannot travel to many countries because he is wanted as a War Criminal. His policies from the beginning consist of taking the West Bank away from the Palestinians.  To do so he continues to build illegal settlements and destroy Palestinian homes, farms and businesses. Meanwhile he postpones indefinitely his "Gaza Withdrawal".  Gaza has little value to Israel.  The West Bank however houses the 2nd largest reserve of natural gas in the world; a resource Israel has been stealing for nearly a decade, underground via pipes into Jerusalem.  This theft defines a war crime.  In the end, as usual, the persecution and extermination of the Palestinians is about money, power and greed.

[3] This statement is based upon selected entries in the Talmud, which teach that those of the Jewish faith are chosen by God and cannot be judged by non-Jewish persons because non-Jewish persons are put on this planet to serve those of the Jewish faith.  Israeli law reflects this.  If a Jew murders a Jew, or a Gentile murders a Jew, it is murder.  But if a Jew murders a Gentile, since Gentiles are not fully human, it is not murder.  The murder of American Rachel Corrie by Israeli forces in 2003 bears this out. The same is true for the rest of the Ten Commandments.  Adultery is only adultery if the persons involved are both Jewish.  Gentiles don't count which is one reason for the proliferation of white slavery in Israel.   This is just one example of why Gospel based values that the United States is founded on and the Talmudic based values that Israel is founded on are wholly incompatible.  Not all Jewish people follow the Talmud or take every passage at face value but Zionism is based upon its teachings and that is why Sharon feels comfortable with such a blatantly racist comment.

[4] During the years following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, His followers referred to each other as followers of the way.  At the time Christians experienced severe persecution by the Pharisees and Jewish leaders.  The comment worked as code to identify each other. It wasn't until Paul visited Antioch that Christians were referred to as Christians.  The name Christian in Greek literally means "little Christ".
