Suspicious of Zionists!

Uncle Phil | 26.10.2010 00:33 | Anti-racism | Palestine

So now anti-zionist movements and Palestine Solidarity Campaigns are being associated with Anti-semitism?
Does this really exist outside the minds of a few creative pro-zionist trolls?
What are the main issues for us not to be distracted from?

I know loads of pal sol activists, but i dont know any who are anti-semitic, or who think that Jews and zionists are the same thing, or who think that Judaism is any worse than the other religions.
I am suspicious of the recent trend (not just on indymedia) of associating anti-zionism with anti semitism. Most zionists are not semitic anyway!
Most semites are muslim. (Yes they really are)
Before the zionist project .... the early beginnings of which involved terrorist tactics, bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, general intimidation...... (in the years before they had the means to be as sophisticated in their terrorism as they are now.) jews christians and muslims lived side by side in relative peace, for a long time, semitic peoples of different faith, they even shared temples such as the abraham temple/mosque in hebron/al khalil
Basically what is happening now is that a lot of white people are colonizing a place where there were, and still are, a lot of brown people (including semitic jews who never supported zionism)..... sound familiar?

the influx of people who consider themselves semitic are mostly not semitic and not descended from abraham (assuming he ever existed..... a big assumption)
These are the descendants of those people converted in europe and africa by jewish missionaries ..... how else do you explain the much persecuted Ethiopian jews (persecuted ironically by their fellow non-semitic Israeli ashkenazis)
I dont care about bloodlines, most people dont, its plain silly
Blatantly only a cruel and generally awful god would want for his/her people what is happening now in israel.... so yes obviously, lets not persecute the jews..... come on thats bloody obvious, and lets support and protect them when they are persecuted..... but lets not forget about those poor hospitable sods the palestinians (or whatever you want to call them).
I am working to build bridges between the two sides in this conflict, thats what I do
I have close friends in both communities
but i still havent met any anti semitic anti zionists..... maybe im just lucky?!
And for any anti-semitic anti zionists, i would tell them..... you are mostly against muslims, and for anti-jewish people i would say how is it worse than the other religions?
And for israelis i say go and learn arabic, make friends with a druze..... make love to a muslim!
Israel probably only has another generation at most before it eats itself alive, and i dont think its going to be pretty..... any fool who thinks the settlements will last 1000 years should take a look at the history books and also at the cracks which already appear in the walls.
Come on! lets stop being idiots and share the earth in peace!
