Judaism is not Zionism

By Adiv Abramson

6/30/03

As salaamu aleikum rahmatullah wa barakatuh (Peace and blessings of God to you):
 
I would like to bring to your attention, if you are not already cognizant of the fact, that the authentic Jewish faith and tradition eschew the violent, racist and heretical ideology of Zionism and the execrable state it has established on Palestinian soil. 

Despite what the brainwashed and propagandized myriads of Jews and non-Jews may claim, the Zionist Reich is decidedly not a Jewish state nor does it have the right to speak on behalf of the Jewish people. The Jewish people, throughout all the years of their divinely decreed exile, never considered the creation of a political entity as a solution to their problems. 

The founders of the Zionist movement, however, did see such an approach as a viable solution to the ongoing persecution of Jews in various parts of Christian Europe. It was precisely because these men were unabashed atheists who had rejected the Jewish faith and its system of values in toto that they sought to "save" their people through worldly means. 

As orthodox Jews opposed to Zionism, we know that their efforts are doomed to failure. We believe as our forefathers did that the release from exile will come about exclusively through direct divine intervention in the course of history, at which time our benevolent Creator will redeem us together with all the nations so that we may at last cast down our weapons, our prejudices, our fears and join together to serve and worship the One true God.

 
We deplore the barbaric, bestial and sadistic mistreatment of the Palestinians by the wicked Zionists, whose atrocious misdeeds desecrate the name of God daily and are violative of the basic tenets of morality, irrespective of one's religion. 

We earnestly pray for the peaceful dissolution of the Zionist Reich and the restoration of the Palestinian people to all of their historic homeland as a free and sovereign nation. We reject the so called road map to peace which envisions a two-state solution to the seemingly intractable conflict in the Holy Land. 

For orthodox Jews, the Zionist Reich has no legitimacy whatsoever and must cease to exist as a prerequisite for peace and for the future redemption. It is impossible to reconcile the Zionist Occupation of Palestine with the Jewish faith since they are diametrical opposites. We therefore call upon the United States to reconsider its foreign policy in the Middle East, since the Zionist Reich depends on America's largesse for its continued existence. Once the flow of taxpayer funded military and economic aid is staunched, the satanic Zionist regime will collapse and the Holy Land will be free.

 
As orthodox Jews, we wish to proclaim to our Arab cousins that we do not want your land or property. We do not wish to cause you any harm whatsoever. We are enjoined by the Torah to seek the welfare of the governments of the countries wherein we reside and to live as upright and loyal citizens. And we want you to understand that Judaism and Zionism are not synonymous with one another. In fact they are locked in a life and death struggle, the outcome of which will herald the ascendancy of Judaism over the heretical and blasphemous rebellion against God which is the essence of Zionism.
 
We very much desire that Jews and Arabs live once again in peace, as was the case in Al-Andalus many centuries ago. Inshah Allah (God willing) so it will be very soon! Allah yusalimakum (May God make you safe).
