Theodor Herzl is the father of Zionism, is referred to as Visionary of the State in the Israeli declaration of independence, and is seen as the Zionist version of Karl Marx or George Washington.

Ze'ev Jabotinsky or Vladimir Jabotinsky was a Revisionist Zionist leader who was the founder of the Jewish Self-Defense Organization in Odessa, whose use beliefs heavily shaped the Israeli constitution, and there several busts and portraits of in IDF leadership buildings as he helped organize one of the first centralized militant group to fight antisemites. He is seen as the Zionist version of Lenin or Thomas Jefferson.

Both of these men were foundational in the creation of an Israeli state, and thus, their writings on the matter are far more accurate to the truths of Israel than the writings of contemporary figures such as Netanyahu (who adores historical revisionism).

Abdul-Wahab (AW) Kayyali (not the musician, the other guy) is a Palestinian journalist who is heavily critical of Israel. Yet, unlike similar journalists, his writings use sources from Israeli founders available in the Israeli national archives. And it is not as if he is cherry picking them, for he often explains the full context and includes the entire document or paragraph in his appendices. He was quite good friends with Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, Jewish American scholars Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein, Palestinian-American scholar Edward Saïd known for coining the term “Orientalism”.

Despite his criticisms of Israel, he believes in a two state solution.

The following come from the works of these three men who know far more about Zionism than literary any Zionist who is on tumblr:

Important PSA:

Patriotism vs Nationalism vs Jingoism:

Patriotism: I love my country when she is right, I acknowledge my country when she is wrong

A patriot loves their country, celebrates when their country does good things, holds remembrance when their country disappoints them. A patriot from one nation can be friends with a patriot from another nation, and may even be patriotic for multiple nations. When their country achieves greatness, they are genuinely proud. When their country claims to achieve greatness but achieved nothing, they feel empty. A patriot typically values unity for all over prosperity for a few. They value the opinions of people critical of the country they love, and see constructive criticism as a form of love for their country.

Nationalism: I love my country, right or wrong, may she always do right

A nationalist loves their country, celebrates their country when their country does good things, and typically ignores or refuses to acknowledge that their country can do bad things. A nationalist believes their country is the best country to ever exist and thus may find it difficult to be friends with a patriot or another nationalist (for, only one nationalist’s opinion can be true). A nationalist rarely is nationalistic to more than one nation. A Nationalist cannot tell the difference between genuinely achieved greatness and false claims to genuine achieved greatness. A nationalist typically values unity for as many people as possible as long as it leads to prosperity primarily for them. They ignore the opinions of people critical of the country they love, often believing they are “fake news”.

Jingoism: I love my country, right or wrong, she is ALWAYS right

A jingoist loves their country, celebrates their country when their country does good things, and will celebrate their country when their country does evil by finding some way to make said evil good, for a jingoist believes their country is unable to be bad. A jingoist believes their country is the best country to ever exist and thus all other countries should be subservient to their country, if not outright invaded and forced into submission. A jingoist could never be friends with a jingoist from another country nor a patriot from another country nor a nationalist from another country. A jingoist does not care about the difference between genuine achieved greatness, false claims to genuine achieved greatness, or even acknowledgements of wrongdoings for their country is always correct no matter what. A jingoist could care less about unity, as long as they and other “real countrymen” are prosperous, that is all that matters. They hate the opinions of people critical of the country they love, and will silence and suppress them.

Examples:

Patriots: The vast majority of people in the vast majority of countries. Most Americans are included under this label, because, if there’s one thing most Americans can agree on, it’s how bad their country is (whether that be “our deficit is too high and we don’t take care of our vets” or “legalized racism is still a problem and the withdrawal from Afghanistan was too early”)

Nationalists: Extremists (eg Neo Confederates, Reagan obsessed conservatives) and many former colonial countries, including Japan, the UK, France, Spain, Turkey, China, Russia, and to a lesser extent, Belgium, Netherlands, and Portugal. For example, most Brits genuinely believe that the British empire did more good than bad, and Japanese history in schools paints Japan in WW2 as a victim. Similarly, Neo Confederates focus on the “greatness” of the CSA without thinking about the not so great parts of it… like, ykno, slavery. Note, this is not all the people of these nations, more their governments

Jingoists: Nazis, modern day Israel under Netanyahu, the propaganda media, and extreme Zionism, MAGA Anti-Woke WASP Americans, Putin’s inner circle, the KKK, and North Korea to name a few. It’s very cult like to say the least, and often genocidal.

The Fourth Category: I love my country when she is right, and I am disturbed when she is wrong, so I will focus on when she is wrong more than when she is right, because I believe righting these wrongs is more important than anything else, and that is how I show love for my country

I’m not sure what to call this category, and only two nations — Germany and Rwanda — fit within this category really, though their are minorities of people in other countries (namely, USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, most Latin American countries, most settler colonialist countries, and Netherlands) who view their country this way

Be a Patriot not a Jingo!!!

According to Zionist logic, the following historical figures would have been considered “Hamas Terrorist Nazi Antisemites” because they were a) critical of Israeli war crimes and b) supported Palestinians:

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Mahatma Gandhi

Malcolm X

Fred Hampton

Nelson Mandela

Albert Einstein (is Jewish)

Stephen Hawking

Frida Kahlo (is Jewish)

Noam Chomsky (is Jewish)

DJ KHALED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Muhammad Ali

Jimmy Carter

Ben and Jerry (the ice cream people)

Bernie Sanders (is Jewish)

Susan Sarandon

Now, let’s look at some of the people who have supported Israel since its creation and do to this day/until their death beds:

Donald Trump

Joseph Stalin

Joe Biden

George W. Bush

Bibi Netanyahu (Israeli PM)

Hillary Clinton

Jefferey Epstein

According to Zionist logic, the man who called white supremacists in Charlottesville who chanted “Jews will not replace us”, “fine good people” and the dictator of the USSR who actively persecuted Jews in SSRs like Lithuania, Sakartvelo, and Russia are both actually based liberal kings

Okay, @sihatn wishes to be so hung up on the particular war crime the Israeli government is using to excessively slaughter innocent Palestinian civilians, so let’s explain the difference between Genocide, Ethnocide, and Ethnic Cleansing:

Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Examples: The Armenian Genocide (where the term actually originates), the Shoah/Holocaust, Taíno Genocide, and Rwandan Genocide to name a few.

I have seen some Zionists on this platform and on Instagram argue that Israel cannot be committing Genocide because it is a “very specific instance in history that only includes the Holocaust”. That fact is ardently incorrect. For one, the first event to be called a Genocide and where the term was coined was the Armenian Genocide and countless events have been labeled a Genocide since 1943/1944 when the term was initially coined (including events coined after the fact that had already happened like the aforementioned Taíno Genocide).

Ethnocide: the deliberate and systematic destruction of the culture of an ethnic group or nation without deliberately killing large numbers of people within that ethnic group or nation

Think “kill the Indian, save the man”, the American and Canadian policy against American Indian tribes and First Nations that sought to forcibly assimilate them into W.A.S.P. culture. A similar policy occurred in Hawaii during the “Republic of Hawaii” and “Territory of Hawaii” days, and even the destruction of Yiddish Culture by Zionists in Israel who feared it for being “too Middle Eastern”. Most Re-Education camps fall in this category too.

Ethic Cleansing: the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society

This term is relatively new and was coined in the aftermath of the collapse of Yugoslavia and Serbia’s treatment of Croats, Bosnians, and other ethnic minorities, as well as the Stalinist movement of ethnic minorities to different SSRs.

Mass Homicide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people

The only distinction here is the people are not being killed because of their ethnicity or nation, but for ✨ other reasons ✨

Now here’s the kicker, most Zionists would say they are committing Ethnic Cleansing. They might not say it out right, because the term has a nasty connotation, but they will say they’re doing the definition of ethnic cleansing.

Some propaganda reblogging Zionists might claim that they’re just committing Mass Homicide but here’s the thing, almost every example of mass homicide being committed by one nation to another nation has been an example of one of the first three categories. The only real examples of Mass Homicide actually being Mass Homicide occur within a state (see Mao famines, Pol Pot’s mass killings, or the countless purging of communists or anti communists during the Cold War).

Some (wrong) historians may claim the Bengal Famine and Irish Potato Famine were examples of mass Homicide but here’s the thing, in both cases aid from other nations and governments were barred from entering the effected places because the UK forbid it. Food exports were forced to continue to come from Ireland and Bengal because the UK forced it. The reasons these famines were so severe was because the UK had a eugenics inspired belief that the Irish and Bengalis were “sub human animals” and “less deserving of food than the Brits”.

The Irish Potato Famine and Bengali Famine were Genocides, with famine being the preferred method of killing.

Was it intentional at first? Maybe not. Did it become intentional after the fact? Yes.

But this takes us to the most important point. The difference between Genocide, Ethnocide, and Ethnic Cleansing AND Mass Homicide is the intent.

But the intent isn’t truly known until after the fact, when internal government documents are released and the facts of the situation are holistically known.

The Jews/Poles/Romani/etc knew they were going through a Genocide (or well, they didn’t know the word, but they knew what was happening) but most of the outside world didn’t because the N@zis were secretive about it. Yes some activists and Jewish/Polish/Romani/etc diaspora groups warned other governments, but these other governments (US, UK, USSR, China, France, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Italy even) were skeptical.

We don’t full know intent now, but given Herzl and Jabotinsky’s rhetoric which essentially established modern day Zionism and the Israeli state, and the establishment of Area C for Israeli settlement after conflict in the West Bank, the fact that Israel has threatened a Second Nakba, an event internationally acknowledged as ethnic cleansing, the fact that there are oil reserves underneath Gaza and the forcing of 2 million people into an airport sized camp would allow Israel to open up drilling where the ruins of Gaza city lay, or the fact that Israel is an Ethnonationalist country that relies on the superiority of Israelis over Palestinians and other neighbouring countries in order to exist makes the intent known to those of us familiar with the history of this conflict.

Ok ok ok ok ok here’s where I M. Night Shyamalan this whole thing: Genocide, Ethnocide, and Ethnic Cleansing are all the same crime according to multinational organizations like the United Nations. They are all Genocide.

All Ethnocides are Genocides, but not all Genocides are Ethnocides.

All Ethnic Cleansings are Genocides, but not all Genocides are Ethnic Cleansings.

The Nakba was an Ethnic Cleansing, therefore the Nakba was a Genocide.

The Netanyahu administration claims that their on going attack on Gaza is a “new Nakba”.

Nakba = Ethnic Cleansing = Genocide

The Netanyahu administration claims that their on going attack on Gaza is a “new Genocide”.

Genocide carries with it negative connotations. If the term was as widely used in 1944 as it is today, Hitler would deny genocide allegations, just as the Turkish continue to deny genocide allegations from the Armenian Genocide, why the Japanese continue to deny Genocide Allegations during their rule of Korea, Taiwan, parts of Micronesia, Manchuria, and Nanjing. Why the British refuse to acknowledge the Irish Potato Famine or Bengal Famine as Genocides. Why the conservative right want to ban the teaching of American genocides against countless groups (namely Native Americans, African Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Chicanos). And why Zionists get so offended when you refer to the actions of Israel as a Genocide.

Those who commit Genocide will never acknowledge that they are committing genocide. The fact that the current mainstream Zionist reaction, like @sihatn, is to deny that the ongoing genocide exists just proves that one is happening… if the horrific videos didn’t prove it enough (this one is from an American pro Israel source, but it doesn’t not take long to find ones from individuals in Gaza)

In conclusion, Israel is committing a genocide, and if you say otherwise, you are blinded by Ethnonationalism just like the Germans were in the 30s/40s, the Turks were during the 10s/20s and onward, the Brits were for (well forever), and the American right wing is.

If you don’t acknowledge the fact that Israel is committing a Genocide you are part of the problem shawty, and it’s not a good look 😬
