"Zionists are not the saviors of the Jewish people"

by Linda A. Packer

Even though this website is at war with organized religion, we are not and never have been at war with people's personal faith. We will always staunchly defend a person's right to believe and preach what they want. What motivates us to do what we do are those people who organize and use their "faith" as a weapon against those who do not share their views. Among the most militant and fraudulent—and perhaps the most dangerous—religious movements on earth is the one known as Zionism.

Although Darrell, Lawrence and I have spoken out about the dangers of Zionism on numerous occasions over the past thirteen years, it is well worth the effort to keep reminding our readers that this menace is real, and it's growing stronger by the day. This month we will do that by linking to an excellent article posted on True Torah Jews Against Zionism. Please read it with an open mind.

Zionism and Anti-Semitism

We implore and beseech our Jewish brethren to realize that the Zionists are not the saviors of the Jewish People and guarantors of their safety, but rather the instigators and original cause of Jewish suffering in the Holy Land and worldwide. The idea that Zionism and the State of “Israel” is the protector of Jews is probably the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the Jewish People. Indeed, where else since 1945 have Jews been in such physical danger as in the Zionist state?!

Jews are enjoined by their religious laws to be loyal to the country of which they are citizens. Ever since the destruction of the holy Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish People some two thousand years ago, we have been enjoined to be scrupulously loyal to the countries we reside in. One of the great biblical prophets, Jeremiah, in chapter 29 of his book proclaimed G-d's message to all the exiled; verse seven reads, "Seek out the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you and pray for it to the Almighty, for through its welfare will you have welfare." This has been a cornerstone of Jewish morality throughout our history to this very day.

Torah-true Jews wish to live in peace and harmony with their neighbors in every country among the community of nations, including in historic Palestine. They deplore acts and policies of violence carried out by those who, misusing the name of Israel our forefather, have substituted the ideal of chauvinist nationalism for the eternal values of the Torah, the eternal divinely bestowed inheritance of the Jewish people.
