Israel continuously provides evidence of the causal Jewish behavior. Did German Jews acquire disproportionate media, financial and political control as they have in the United States? Did they then collectively act to the detriment of Germany and thereby precipitate the Holocaust? America’s multiple and continuing mid east wars have all been initiated with the urging of AIPAC, the Conference of Presidents, and other Israeli agencies. All have benefited Israel at our expense. American Jews were central to, and grossly enriched by, the Wall Street obscenity. Israel is a Jewish state, a racist apartheid state by, of, and for the chosen people. It feigns and exploits alliance, but an ally Israel will never be.

One of this distinguished critics of Zionism is the late Professor Israel Shahak who spoke eloquently and consistently about the crimes that Zionism was committing against the Palestinian people. In reference to Zionism and racism, The late Professor Israel Shahak, a Holocaust survivor and the then Chairperson of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights, summed it up accurately in his statement: ” It is my considered opinion that the state of Israel is a racist state in the full meaning of this term. In this state, people are discriminated against, in the most permanent and legal way and in the most important areas of life, only because of their origin. This racist discrimination began in Zionism and is carried today mainly in cooperation with the institutions of the Zionist movement.”{“The Racist Nature of Zionism and of the Zionist State of Israel”, article published in Pi-Ha’aton, the weekly newspaper of the students of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Nov.5, 1975}.
