Shavit: Zionist Bigot, Jewish Racist

Using Holocaust to Avoid Scrutiny

By Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

[I wrote this note in July 2005. Because Ari Shavit has something of a reputation as a leftist or liberal, I am adding it to my blog as a corrective.]

Not only is the July 20th 2005 NPR Connection Radio Program completely offensive because of Shavit`s general racism and condescension, but he also manages to provide a classic example of using the Holocaust to deflect scrutiny or criticism of the Zionist mentality when I ask Shavit (34` 40``) about the racism of Israeli Zionists and the theft of Palestinian lands in the late 1940s-1950s. I wonder if The Connection will provide any non-Zionist and anti-Zionist (maybe even a native Gazan) to analyze the duplicity, hypocrisy and criminality associated with the Israeli government`s concept of disengagement.

Zionists never change. Ben Gurion said the older Palestinians will die and the younger Palestinians will forget. Shavit says the same thing but qualifies that it will happen in the next generation.

I am completely disgusted when Zionists and their apologists tell us that we cannot scrutinize the behavior of the victims of the Holocaust.

 

(Note that in any case, the Zionist leadership did not experience the Holocaust but expected to use it to deflect attention from their planned crimes in Palestine).

 

Elsewhere I have written that "racist ethnic Ashkenazim and Zionist colonizers provide yet another example of the common historical pattern where the victims or descendants of a victimized population become themselves a population of victimizers.* The material that the professional anti-Islamists produce today even almost exactly duplicates the titles of works from professional Judeophobes of the past. Probably with no awareness of his far more learned but similarly malicious forerunner, Robert Spencer called his recently published collection of anti-Islamic bigotry Islam Unveiled, a title that has a striking resemblance to Entdecktes Judentum (Judaism Revealed), the name Eisenmenger chose for his epic screed against Judaism and Jewry.

Just as Serbs, who viewed themselves as victims of genocide during WW2, fell so easily into a murderous victimization mode during the 1990s, likewise today racist ethnic Ashkenazim and racist Zionist colonizers, who either are victims or else are descended from victims of genocide or of incitement that lead to genocide, are now major purveyors or encouragers** of very similar acts against Arabs and Muslims."

 

* One must also remember that Soviet Ethnic Ashkenazim as the quintessential Soviet class were victimizers long before the Holocaust began. See The Pattern of Ethnic Ashkenazi Genocidalism: The Jewish Century by Yuri Slezkine. Many ethnic Ashkenazim had a lot of practice in victimizing others long before the Zionist ethnic cleansing of Palestine started.

** Spencer is not ethnic Ashkenazi, but most of his readership is.
