Denying right to exist is genocidal racism
Gary Selikow
Anti-Semitism is hostility to Jews anywhere. Hence the anti-Zionist cannot claim he is not an anti-Semite because he “only” hates Jews in Israel, any more than someone can make the claim that he/she is not a racist because they only hate blacks who live in South Africa.
The enemies of Israel want the physical elimination of the Jewish people from the Land of Israel. This constitutes anti-Semitism. The point is that they want a Judenrein “Palestine” the same way that Hitler wanted a Judenrein Europe.
The anti-Zionists claim that they are not anti-Semites but that they think the only country on earth which must be annihilated is Israel. The anti-Zionists claim that they are not anti-Semites but that the only children on earth whose being blown up is okay if it serves a good cause, are Jewish children.
The anti-Zionists believe that the only conflict that must be resolved by total dismemberment of one of the parties is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Dismembering Israel into a single Arab-dominated state means a second Holocaust. It means the methodical massacre of millions of Jews, of hundreds of thousands of Jewish children.
Anyone who pushes for a “one-state solution” is actually pushing for a second Holocaust. Denying a nation’s right to exist is genocidal racism, akin to Nazism, hence in my opinion, anti-Zionism is Nazism.
Judea Pearl a professor of computer science at UCLA and president of the Daniel Pearl Foundation correctly reminds us: “As a form of racism, anti-Zionism is worse than anti-Semitism. It targets the most vulnerable part of the Jewish people, namely, the people of Israel, who rely on the sovereignty of their state for physical safety, national identity and personal dignity.
“To put it more bluntly, anti-Zionism condemns five million human beings, mostly refugees or children of refugees, to eternal statelessness, traumatised by historical images of persecution and genocide.”
Anti-Zionism is racism as it involves hatred of an entire people, such as the Jews of Israel. I believe anti-Zionism is in fact far more contemptible than traditional anti-Semitism. The new anti-Semitism is cloaked in political correct and academic language, but the end goal is the same – the genocide of Jews.

‘The lefty slogan \”Anti-Zionism isn’t anti-Semitism\” was fabricated by the BDS conspiracy, of course, and dovetails neatly with their other and equally anti-Semitic slogan \”Islamophobia equates to anti-Semitism\”.
In fact, the term \”Islamophobia\” was dreamt up by them for precisely this purpose.
But as Pope Francis has so trenchantly pointed out: anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.’

‘Oy vey! Is it such a criminal offense to oppose a two-state solution?’

‘Mr Danon , whether we have a two state solution or not is the choice of the Israeli people -I have no position on the matter except that i will defend to the death Israel’s right to determine her own borders and do what is right for her future
What is criminal is , given that their are 52 Muslim states , to deny the right and necessity of the existence of a Jewish State
The determination of Israel’s borders is secondary
I certainly am opposed to including the major settlement blocs in any ‘Palestinian state’ or evacuating these major settlement blocs and will violently oppose any Palestinian ‘right of return ”

‘Mr Selikov
its not a matter for the Palestinian people as well then ?
>I certainly am opposed to including the major settlement blocs in any ‘Palestinian state’
I’m guessing you don’t think Palestine has a right to determine its own borders ?
its lucky you don’t \”have a position\” – imagine if you did !’

‘No they not because the Arabs have 23 states already (and 52 Muslim states)
And 90% of the ‘Palestinians’ are descendants of migrantswho entered the then ‘Palestine’ after 1850 and many only in the 1930s and 40s
And THERE has never been a state or nation of ‘Palestinians’ Their whole identity was only created to destroy Israel
But why do anti-Israel agitators come on our forums We dont comment on BDS or Palestine solidarity forums’

‘Barney, The Palestinians have no right at all to determine Israels future, Of course they have a right to determine their own future as long as they; 1) Don’t interfere with Israel; 2) Don’t fire rockets or send in suicide bombers; 3)
Understand that Judea and Sumarea and Golan is not negotiable. The Palestinians belong in Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq . The problem is that those countries don’t want them. Have you ever wondered why not?
They don’t belong in Israel either and consequently they are not Israels problem. I find it significant that Saudi Arabia and those emirates countries don’t want to help despite their flourishing economies. Inasmuch as Hamas has turned Gaza into a concrete dump and destroyed all the greenhouses ( and other buildings left behind by Israelis), they seem incapable of living amongst themselves peacefully. Can you imagine with Israel or even bordering Israel.
Perhaps a cursory glance at the Hamas charter may give you some idea of the savage & barbarian nature of these people.
Presumably you live in a decent civilised neighbourhood Barney?! Imagine moving next door to uncivilised barbarians whose settled intention only, is to kill you.
No!!! I don’t think so ‘
