John Galliano Must be a Zionist

To Jodi in London:

Gilad didn't lump all Israelis and Jews together, he lumped all Zionists and Racists together. I agree with Gilad.

There are many non-Jewish American Zionists in my country (USA), starting with our President and many in our our Congress (who keep giving money to Israel) while thousands upon thousands of Americans are homeless in the streets..This needs to end.

Zionism is an irrational, un-American paradox for any American to pledge allegiance to. To be an American Zionist is to mimic the anti-Arab racism and apartheid politics expressed by Israel's racist, ethno-religious centrist leadership.

I am white, a Christian, an American, a senior citizen, and I am a Jewish loving,every racial minority loving, anti-Zionist human being. My grandchildren are "rainbow" of ethnicities, and I am proud I live in a "melting pot" called the United States of America.

I am living proof in the flesh that anti-Zionism is not equal to anti-Semitism. Zionists have exhibited through history that they are just as radicalized as the "Islamist" they denounce today. I have a moral problem with ignoring that fact.

I know that there are thousands of Jews around the globe who reject Zionism, and there always have been. Read the original histories written by many of them since the early twentieth century, I have. Just go to google books. The early anti-Zionist Jews were not "self-hating" Jews (a ridiculous piece of tripe terminology by the way); but they wisely warned the Zionist Jews of their time what the results of the irrational, ethno-religious centrist ideology of Zionism would be if it ever actually was realized, and boy they were right in 1900, and right through 1947 too.

Zionism is as destructive to mankind as an an ideology as was the 'Manifest Destiny ideology' of America's historic white hegemony, perpetrated against our Native Americans; forcing them into the squalor of reservations. It's called "apartheid", what was done to our Native Americans.

If today, many Americans are yet in denial in respect to our American apartheid past, how can it be expected that Israeli political leadership today will ever own up to what was (and is) being done to obtain and maintain the geography it now occupies and segregates?

Believe me, few people on Earth are holding their breath for an "awakening" of Israel's Zionist-radical leadership to come to terms with the reality of "its existence" in the near future.

I am not the only person who understands that Zionism was eventually manifested in the Middle East thanks to a 'quid pro quo' deal of World War I between the Allies and the Zionists; with the Zionists making certain the Allies eventually paid their pound of flesh at the end of World War II by displacing hundreds of thousands of people so Zionists could have their "nation" and pre-selected geography, cleared of it inhabitants.

Perhaps the Germans should have been displaced, would that have not been more "fair" than who was targeted for displacement? The fact is, WHO was targeted to be displaced (or over run by immigrants), was always targeted from the 1890's; because the piece of property the Zionists "dreamed of occupying" is the land Israel now occupies. The ORIGINAL plan had nothing to do with "Islamist radicals" at its inception in the 1890's, but it certainly created an anticipated reaction by its victims in the first half of the twentieth century as the program was carried out, come hell or high water..

I'd be angry if you Zionists did to me what you did through the Irgun to Christians, Arabs, British, and whoever else got in your targeted "geographic" way..

It is well-known it was a dishonest, purposeful political program from the outset; planned against others, way before the Holocaust ever was even imagined. It was planned by a select identity-group of "utopia dreamers" who cared less for anyone else but their "Grand Dream" of perpetual non-assimilation for their "racial-religious" identity politic, so they wouldn't have to participate in any society that wasn't Zionist. Zionism is exclusionary, elitist, and self-serving.

That Americans lost their lives in World War I, in part for this Zionist-facistlike scheme is very sad to me, as my grandfather was in France in WWI in the U.S. Marines pulling men of the battlefield. He never was the same after that war, all for what? The "War to End All Wars", right. Considering the behind the scenes special "Treaty" deals after WWI (and unfair Treaty deals), no one should have expected less than another major War as an outcome, and what we must now live with as the consequence of self-serving, racial "identity" politics.

Israel needs to take down the WALL, like East Germany did. The Zionist Cold War against "Arabs", "Islamists" and even Pacifists in America, is paranoia at its zenith.

Gilad,
When did you become such a self-hating Jew? Please do not make excuses for John Galliano's behaviour. As an Israeli and as someone Jewish don't you realise that lumping all Israelis and Jews together is the worst type of bigotry. I am saddened to have found this article.

Editor: I'm sorry if  Gilad is writing over the heads of some people; he is making a mockery out of Israel's supposed 'democracy' that uses racial discrimination as a premise for its genocidal behavior, does that help?  Seriously, you know he isn't making excuses for the behavior of this idiot Galliano.  And trust me that nobody better knows the differences in this faith better than Gilad.  Rather than having the faith even enter the discussion, let's remember we're talking about the Israeli government..  

Looks like an Arab to me

it has nothing to do with zionism!! im israeli and i dont hate everyone, infact i love anyone that doesnt posses an extreme view on the conflict. and galliano has nothing to do with the conflict- hes just racist! so leave your old countrymen out of it!

Editor: Israel is a racist terrorist state that is guilty of a long list of unconscionable war crimes and while you may actually live in the country responsible for it, that does not obligate you to stick up directly or indirectly for racism and genocide, what is wrong with people like you?  Your pretend world of victimhood has cost other human beings dearly.  If it was the other way around people like Gilad would be there too, but Israel is the obnoxious criminal government in question.
