Antizionism Is Not Antisemitism: It’s Much Bigger

The antizionist threat to western civilization as a whole

For how obsessed our culture is with Adolf Hitler and Nazism, we really know very little about the man and his mythological struggle against the great evil of the world, the Jews. 

Given that every single debate on the internet eventually invokes this man and his rise to power, we should have a deep social understanding of who this man was and how exactly he came to power. 

But we don’t. 

So far, the best work I have found on the 20th century Satan is Hitler’s World View, by Eberhard Jackel, which I believe every American university student should read. In this work, Jackel explains the way that Hitler’s antisemitic worldview dominated the entirety of his political thought. 

Antisemitism, more than anything, was the focal point of Hitler’s world view. Hitler hated the Jews far more than he loved the Aryans. And I believe that the same has become true for the antizionists. That’s why they don’t mind how much Palestinian blood is on Hamas’ hands. They need that blood for their propaganda.

There is a historical argument, usually made by nazi-sympathizers, that, if Hitler had not invaded Russia, he would have won the war. 

According to Jackal, this theory could not be more anachronistic and disingenuous to the revolutionary philosophy of Hitler. 

Hitler was waging a righteous revolution against the oppressive Jewish powers of the world. He was the brave freedom fighter in a world full of Jewish lackeys and co-conspirators. Aryans were the truly indigenous Europeans, and they had a right to remove the Jewish colonial forces from their midst by any means necessary. 

This righteous war was not just against the Jews; it was against the entire world that Hitler believed had fallen under their influence. Hitler was not a warmonger; he was a revolutionary. At least, in his own mind. If we don’t understand that, we won’t understand why so many modern-day nazis see themselves as such righteous revolutionaries. 

I had a conversation with an old peer of mine, someone I had known from Youth and Government in high school. This particular individual was the graduate of not one but two highly gifted magnets in Los Angeles. 

He objected to how much I was talking about the rise of antisemitism online. In his words, I was using antisemitism to distract from the “real issue.” The real issue, according to him, was “the goals of the Israeli-American Ruling Class” and how they were using propaganda to distract people from the alleged Palestinian genocide.

Now, personally, I was quite upset by this statement. Apparently, there is an Israeli-American Ruling Class, and they didn’t invite me to join. Considering how much of my life I have dedicated to Israel and America, I should have at least been added to the mailing list. What a snub! 

But, more seriously, let’s compare the phrase he used with a more famous one: 

1. “The goals of the Israeli-American Ruling Class.” 

2. “The protocols of the elders of Zion.” 

They look surprisingly similar, no? Now, let’s remember that the person who said this to me does not identify as a nazi. And, of course, when I pointed out the similarities in their phrasing he said, “wow, I’m impressed we were able to get three exchanges in before you called me antisemitic.” 

He’s not antisemitic though, he assured me. 

And maybe he isn’t just antisemitic. Maybe it’s bigger than that. Because, as he said himself, the real danger is the “Israeli AMERICAN ruling class.” He isn’t just worried about what the Jews are up to; he’s worried about the Americans too. 

(The International Jew, published by Henry Ford’s publication, The Dearborn Independent in 1920. This work was translated into German in 1922 and was one of the major influences on Nazi Antisemitic thought)  

Now, ironically, this kid is so WASPish that his family might have come over on the Mayflower. Or he might have been a descendant of Henry Ford. But, there is a larger concern here. 

At every single pro-Israel rally you go to, you see people waving American flags. One of the most popular flags is half Israeli and half American.

(Protestors in Thousand Oaks marching a week after Paul Kessler was beaten to death.)   

I have not seen a single American flag at an anti-Israel rally. In fact, I see this much more often:

And that is only one event. All around the world, especially in London, antizionist protestors are tearing down the symbols of the nations they live in. 

In 2021, the antizionists were only defacing Jewish institutions and icons. In 2021, antizionism was just antisemitism. But now, antizionism is much bigger than antisemitism – it’s anti-everything. 

What does antizionism stand for? It stands for freeing Palestine from the Israeli-American ruling class. What is Palestine? Anything that is under the occupation of the Israeli-American ruling class. What is under the occupation of the Israeli-American ruling class? Everything apparently.  

Hitler believed that Germany was fighting a two-front war against the Jewish conspiracy. On the western front, he faced the Jewish capitalists and bankers of the world who had completely corrupted English and American society with their money. On the eastern front, he faced the Jewish Bolsheviks who were using Communism to control the Soviet Union. Hitler was surrounded on all sides by enemies, and they were all trying to silence him and keep him out of power.

I am sure that the members of the recently disbanded chapters of SJP and JVP are saying something similar about the Israeli-American ruling class.  

Perhaps the greatest irony of the this new fangled conspiracy theory is that they are so afraid of the Jewish conspiracy that they can’t even recognize when they’ve won. 

Four days ago, Mohammed El-Kurd, a Palestinian antizionist and poet, along with many others, protested outside of the New York Times building. What were they protesting for? For the coverage of the war in Gaza to be less favorable to the Israelis. 

I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. The New York Times couldn’t be any more anti-Israel than it currently is if it was headquartered in Qatar. 

They have been promoting the Palestinian cause against the Israelis for years, even using journalists who have been accused of having been embedded with Hamas before the attacks and having knowledge of them prior to October 7th.* You can see it in how quickly they blamed Israel for the hospital bombing, and how slowly they walked it back. The number one newspaper in the free world unapologetically published Hamas-propaganda, and even after the backlash they continue to do so. 

*(An earlier version of this essay read: They have been promoting the Palestinian cause against the Israelis for years, going so far as to pay photographers to embed themselves in Hamas on the day of the terror attacks. Firstly, the photographers in questions were freelancers, not Times employees. Secondly, The Times denies the accusation that the freelancer in question had prior knowledge of the attacks. Read the Times own account of things here.)

And the antizionists want more? 

Of course they do, because the New York Times is still run by a Jewish family. It might be a completely assimilated Jewish family that sells out the Jewish people day in and day out, but they are still Jewish, which means, of course, that they are a part of the Israeli-American ruling class. 

Antizionism is a revolutionary movement. It wants to overthrow the established “Zionist Power” more than it wants to “Free Palestine.” That’s why the movement is called antizionism instead of Palestinian nationalism, or something like that. It is a movement more defined by what it is against than what it is for. What it is against is Zionism. Zionism, according to the anti zionists, is anything that the Israeli-American ruling class have laid their greedy hands on. The only way to stop Zionism is through constant struggle. In German, the word for struggle is “Kampf.” 

I would like to conclude with a discussion of my 20th century political hero, Sir Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill saved the world from fascism, full stop. There was no man in the world who did more to actively oppose the spread of evil in the 20th century. In 1923, he was stuck in the political wilderness because everyone thought his old-fashioned ways of thinking were passé and oppressive. He spent 20 years languishing in periphery of politics while his contemporaries marched in the streets celebrating things like the Kellogg-Briand Pact and Charles Lindberg’s brave Atlantic Crossing. 

You can say many things about Winston Churchill, but you cannot say that he was on the wrong side of history. While everyone else in Britain was silent, he was shouting. Each of his contemporaries who had laughed at him in the 20s had to shamefacedly admit that he was right all along in the 30s, and they had to admit that he was the only man who had the moral character to lead the nation through such a crisis. A crisis that those very same political enemies had created. 

Now, that man’s legacy is being defaced by the people who themselves claim to be on the right side of history. The irony of this is certainly lost on them. Surely, Lord Halifax and Neville Chamberlain thought they were on the right side of history, just as Hitler did.

The truth is that there is no historical figure better known for being on the right side of history than Winston Churchill. 

Unless, of course, you find yourself on Hitler’s side of history.

V is for victory. Churchill was a historian. He knew that the forces of evil never prevail. That’s why he was never worried during the war. V is for victory, and truth will always prevail.  

Spread love, spread light. Truth always wins the day.
