Why Israel and Judaism?

An Introduction to the Children of Amalek

Watch Benjamin Netanyahu, the war criminal who receives billions of dollars of money and weapons from both Democrats and Republicans, talk about how he consciously undermined the peace process with Palestine and how he manipulates the United States:

I recently published a very long book length essay on Israel, its atrocities, and its relationship to the United States:

I’ve realized that before some people even get past the first paragraph, they will have already dismissed it and decided they won’t read it all because lots of people recoil at any criticism of Israel because they assume the critique has an unjustified bias against Israel because of racism. I go into meticulous detail about why that is erroneous in the essay, but those details don’t come immediately. So Ive decided to briefly layout why a very thorough analysis and critique of Israel and Judaism is justified.

Why haven’t I written something so detailed and scathing about Saudi Arabia? Or China? Or Russia? Why haven’t I written something so critical of Islam or Buddhism or Confucianism? All of that can easily be explained by the influence and power Israel and Judaism has over U.S. domestic and foreign policy. I don’t have infinite time, and I often work quite long hours as a software engineer. I have no problem critiquing other religions or countries, and that should be clear from earlier posts of mine. I’ve commented on Christianity more than any other religion before my latest essay. Islam is so over saturated with criticism by well paid and well respected career intellectuals of the establishment, that writing something about it like I’ve done with Judaism and Israel would be largely redundant. It would be a waste of my energies at the moment. Furthermore, after fully reading the Children of Amalek it wouldn’t make any rational sense for anyone to come out of it thinking that I have a fondness or bias toward Islam, a religion that includes the worship of the mythological character Yahweh, which I thoroughly disparage in the essay. And I actually have been twirling around a critique of Buddhism in my mind for awhile now. I think Buddhism is wrong, both much of its particular empirical claims about metaphysics and human psychology, and a lot of its fundamental moral claims. I think overall Buddhism is harmful to human civilization, at least a civilization I’d like to see. But the gravity of the current catastrophe in Gaza and the relationship of the U.S. to it motivated me to focus on Israel and Judaism.

Israel simply receives vast more funding and support and privilege from the U.S. than any other foreign country. I provide data for that in The Children of Amalek. That alone should be sufficient reason why Americans should scrutinize it more than any other foreign country. Judaism is the religion that Israel claims to represent. It claims to be the “Jewish State”. Not simply a Jewish state, but the OG and total place for Jews. Because Judaism is the religion of Israel, it deserves critique for the same reason Israel deserves it. No Buddhist state is lavished with tax money and diplomatic support like Israel. There are no laws being passed that try to criminalize the disparagement of a particular sect of Buddhism, such as Zen, like there are laws trying to criminalize the disparagement of a sect of Judaism, Zionism. Congress is not trying to pass laws that tie criticism of any particular religious sect to racism like it does with Zionism, even when Jews are a religious group, like Scientologists, and not a race, despite what Nazis and lots of Zionists believe. And while Zionism isn’t the only form of Judaism like Protestantism isn’t the only form of Christianity, Zionism is the most populous and powerful form of Judaism today.

No other state or religious-political sect has as much impunity for its influence and interference in U.S. domestic politics. Zionist PACs openly boast about how much money they spend attempting to influence elections on behalf of a foreign country, Israel. If a Chinese Communist PAC behaved like AIPAC, a Zionist Israel PAC, Congress would be attempting to shut it down, just like what they are trying to do with TikTok, which isn’t even a PAC, but a social media platform where some people say things about Israel that AIPAC doesn’t like. There are people who are understandably deeply concerned about racial tribalist groups like BLM, or weird cultish political groups like those pushing the superstition that men can become women by changing their pronouns, or maximalist activism surrounding abortion in either direction, but Zionism is way more powerful than any of that and more detrimental to American prosperity and security. Zionists have managed to establish control in the government in both major parties, so that our government is spending billions of dollars, arguably even trillions, to subsidize the territorial expansion of a genocidal pseudo-ethno apartheid state.

Thus, a critique of Israel is deserved. And attempting to shame or guilt people away from investigating Israel is itself sometimes due to racial bigotries, particularly against Palestinians. One of the most common complaints about a focus on Israel is lamentation about the evils of Islam, but not all Palestinians are Muslim. The genocide is being carried out against all Gazans, which includes Christians and people with no particularly strong loyalty to any major religion. The apartheid of the West Bank will affect people regardless of religious belief. The laws in Israel that are discriminatory against non Jews are discriminatory regardless of the non Jewish person’s religion or racial ancestry. If I lived in Israel I’d be subject to the same discriminatory laws despite my rejection of Islam and having no [known] Palestinian ancestry. Not a penny of my tax money should be going to such a regime.

A lot of the bigotry is also actually because of a loyalty to Israel because of religious attitudes. There are many Christians who have made a spiritual fetish of Jews, since they are tokens of their particular sect’s theology, which includes the need for a theocratic Jewish state to exist in Palestine for their [Dark] Lord Jesus to return. And they seem not to care at all if the whole world is destroyed on behalf of that cause; and American national security or prosperity is irrelevant.

Thus, the need and motivation for my essay. It is long, I recognize, but I implore everyone to read it before voting. Everything I’ve said here is covered in much more detail in the essay, but I think it’s valuable as a separate prologue.

I’ll be voting for Jill Stein because voting for Harris or Trump is a vote for the same two-headed monster that is destroying America and the world. Don’t vote for the monster no matter whose face it’s wearing. The monster is essentially sociopathic and will do whatever it thinks will keep it wealthy and in power; if people vote for Harris, for example, because they think she is a “lesser evil” than Trump, even though she continues to support atrocities, the Democratic Party will learn that people will vote for them even if they don’t get what they want. Withholding votes is necessary in politics, otherwise people throw away any political leverage. It’s partly why Zionists have so much political power—they only care about Israel and will not vote for a politician unless the politician does what it wants with regard to Israel. Zionists may split about abortion or pronouns, but they agree that Israel is always the top priority. Politicians don’t have to care what people want when they will vote for them regardless because of “lesser evil” fears. Don’t vote Harris or Trump. Vote third party or vote for the monster.
