Jewish Zionist Dehumanization of Non-Jews

Dead Palestinian babies and bombed mosques - IDF fashion 2009 contains an important admission in the last few paragraphs but concludes by effectively giving the podium to an Israeli army psychologist to claim that the messages of the T-shirts represent a normal venting of steam instead of a sort of preparatory dehumanization that facilitates atrocities against non-Jews.

Col. (res.) Ron Levy began his military service in the Sayeret Matkal elite commando force before the Six-Day War. He was the IDF's chief psychologist, and headed the army's mental health department in the 1980s.


Levy: "I'm familiar with things of this sort going back 40, 50 years, and each time they take a different form. Psychologically speaking, this is one of the ways in which soldiers project their anger, frustration and violence. It is a certain expression of things, which I call 'below the belt.'"


Do you think this a good way to vent anger?


Levy: "It's safe. But there are also things here that deviate from the norm, and you could say that whoever is creating these things has reached some level of normality. He gives expression to the fact that what is considered abnormal today might no longer be so tomorrow."

Despite Levy's claim, such dehumanization of an oppressed group is common among oppressors because the oppressors must convince themselves there is nothing wrong with brutalizing, robbing, dispossessing or killing their victims.

Levy is disingenuous when he mentions that Zionist racism and barbarism towards Palestinians can be traced back 50 years. The Zionist writer Asher Ginzburg (Ahad haAm) was already describing Jewish Zionist contempt for Arabs and Turks in the 1890s. Not only were Zionist colonists already routinely brutal toward Palestine fellahin at that time period, but Zionist behavior toward Palestinians has never differed in any meaningful way from Jewish mistreatment of Ukrainian peasants in the 16th and 17th centuries.

In Yiddish Civilization, The Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation (pp. 235-6), Paul Kriwaczek discusses Jewish role in Ukraine, which was at that time part of Commonwealth Poland.

This Yiddish takeover of the wild and lawless Ukraine's economy could be expected to have involved much exploitation and corrupt abuse of monopoly. Jews tried hard to keep such businesses as the collection of customs dues and taxes to themselves. Surviving customs records from the 1580s are written in a mixture of Yiddish and Hebrew. The historian Shimon Dubnow quotes a resolution passed by the Jewish Lithuanian Council, the Vaad Medina Litoh, ruling body of the Jewish estate: "We have openly seen the great danger deriving from the operation of customs in Gentile hands; for the customs to be in Jewish hands is a pivot on which everything turns, since thereby Jews may exert control."

...

The alliance between ruthless Polish nobles and insecure Yiddish frontiersmen proved dangerous and destructive. The Jews now held a position that nothing in their background or religious law had properly prepared them for. They had been placed in authority over another people, of another social order, another culture and another religion, a people whom the magnates, the Jews' masters, regarded as racially inferior and fair game for callous exploitation. Tragically, shaking off the restraining influence of wiser counsels of the West, the repeated warnings of the rabbis of metropolitan Cracow, Posen and Lublin, the Yiddish businessmen who flocked to the colony came to regard the peasantry in a similar light.

Even though Kriwaczek's passage is hardly subtle in its blame-shifting to Polish magnates, we can be fairly certain that dehumanizing bigotry against non-Jews has been a characteristic of Eastern European Jewish culture for at least 350 years and that Eastern European Zionists brought violent and often murderous prejudices with them when they developed their program to steal Palestine. Americans are only just beginning to see the dark side of Yiddish culture that Palestinians have experienced for over 100 years.

Zionist propaganda defames Arabs, Turks, and Persians when Zionists claim Israel must act brutally Israel because the ME is a dangerous neighborhood.

Eastern European Ashkenazim brought exceptionally vicious Jewish anti-gentile bigotry and violence with them from E. Europe.


A Psychohistory of Zionism by Israeli-American psychologist Jay Gonen provides a somewhat different but also disturbing analysis of Zionism's Arab problem on pp. 177-212. Unfortunately, I could not find it online. I will try to make a pdf file that I can put up sometime next week.
