The evangelicals are "zionist" only in the sense that they want Israel to be in a certain kind of "retro" mode so the second coming can begin. Has nothing to do with corporatization. <br><br>No one is responding to the information I posted, which is rather typical when Zionism comes up. It suggests that the British did, of course, make a deal (a very VAGUE) deal with Zionist Jews...and then as soon as the Jews in Israel won independence, the British supported all kinds of fascist elements from the Arab countries to begin the attempt to destroy it. <br><br>I'm sure Israel is quite aware of these games and I suppose it is U.S. money that keeps them from going public about all the "Muslim Brotherhood" type operations in the region. <br><br>This could easily explain some of the Mossad activity in the days up to and including 9/11. I hate to say it, but it could even explain the "celebrating" Israelis. If they watched some of the same pseudo-Islamic fascists who the US and Britain have funded for decades attacking the hand that feeds them, maybe they just thought justice had been served. <br><br>And despite that attitude, it has been documented that Israel and Mossad did make attempts to warn US officials about the attack. Kinda pointless, because it was probably clear to Mossad that the US already knew.<br><br>A lot of games...and surely a lot of dirty wars and dirty tricks on all sides. The real issue is why people on this board focus on Zionism as CENTRAl to these plots and suggest that Israel is the controlling force behind all of this. That so incredibly distorts the power relations between the two countries as to be truly irrational. Which, of course, it is.<br><br>The only way this could work, of course, is if a powerful group of American Jews were secretly pulling the strings here. And this is exactly what is claimed by these theories. That gets into that timetested technique of "counting Jews" to prove the conspiracy. <br><br>And why people are so unashamed to use the exact same reasoning used by Hitler when making arguments on this board is beyond me. The entire theory that Jews ran the world, created Communism and sought to undermine German autonomy was central to Hitler's thinking. You can replace "jews" with Zionists if you want, but the lack of intellectual rigor is the same, setting aside arguments about labels for the moment.<br><br>For those confused by this debate, I should point out that many anti-semitic theorists got a tad more sophisticated in the last few decades. The theories now are often not about "Jews" per se, but a "subgroup" that secretly controls the Jews (Kazars, perhaps), or Jewish "Luciferians" or a joint Jewish-Masonic alliance and allegations that the Jews took control of the British monarchy and then, through blackmail and intermarriage have run the show ever since. These new theories allow for "good jews".<br><br>The theories get so broad in whom they implicate that they become unfalsifiable. You simply can't "disprove" them. There'll always be some Jew or Zionist who married somebody or was somebody's banker or whatever. <br><br>Zionism, from my perspective, was a group of Jews who despaired of ever living in peace in any country not their own. History is on their side in that argument, whatever you think of the decision to make Israel a Jewish homeland. And I mean all of history, not just WW2. <br><br>One might also question the very structures that allowed Britain to "grant" anything to anyone. However, if you start questioning THAT little bit of imperial largesse, then you get into deeper (and far more relevant) issues of colonialism and imperialism. For it is that very ideology that some countries, due to wealth and military might can carve up entire continents in ways that suit them.<br><br>Go research, for example, how the "country" of Kuwait was created. <br><br>This idea of "supporting" colonies, then withdrawing under fire and undermining the new rulers (or creating puppet rulers) is not a new one. Didn't begin with Israel. Won't end there, either.<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
