The Jewish Paradox arising from The Curse of Zionism
I think it’s reasonable to assume he was worried by the prospect of the survey indicating that in the event of a showdown between himself and President Obama, a majority of Jewish Americans would be Americans first and not Israel firsters.

American Jews do not fear anti-semitism. They are in positions of power, the US has been the promised land for Jewry. As for threats against Israel — No state player has better earned the animosity of people everywhere than Israel which treated international law with indifference, violated neighboring countries again and again, displaced, killed, assassinated, incarcerated and tortured Palestinians for decades now. If ever EVER there was a case justifying unbridled racist hatred against world Jewry (World Jewry has supported Israel)it is here in Palestine. One could understand entirely if every Palestinian had a seething hatred for Jews in general. Wrong as it is, I can understand it.
Zionism was a bad idea at inception and it hasn’t grown any better with implementation. Indeed, it has grown worse than Herzl might ever have imagined. If the cost of Jewish state is the obliteration of another people altogether, it is not worth it. No Jew of conscience could feel otherwise. It ain’t worth it. Even if one believed the Tankh as the word of G*d, it would not be worth it and most Jews do not believe that stuff. Indeed, they wrote the book in the first place.
As it is now, the tragedy of what has been done to Palestinians, a people innocent of any great crime against Jewry, will never be finally forgiven or forgotten. This crime will haunt Jews just as the Holocaust haunts.
BTW — Golda Meir (Myerson) could easily go back to NJ where she originated. The Zionists are just liars.

The curse of Zionism for Jewish-Americans is that so few speak up to diminish the actions of Zionists. If they deny being Zionist, their silence still makes them collaborators with Zionist brutality. – George Beres in Eugene, Oregon.

Alan wrote: “As I note in my book Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, the answer to the question of what Zionism would do in the event of mission failure was given to me by Golda Meir in one of my interviews with her for the BBC’s flagship Panorama programme. She said that in the event of a doomsday situation, Israel “would be prepared to take the region and the whole world down with it.”
Alan, Golda seems to have said the same thing to Kissinger, to Biden and to you and the ol’hag got away with it. Israeli politicians and leaders have been similarly threatening their neighbors for decades and getting away with it. I think the world is waking up to the fact that it is time they deserve a taste of their own medicine, as they have every place in the world they were chased out of.One would have thought they would learn, peoples patience ultimately run out.

If American or European Jews had any significant intention of treating Palestinians (and the world) fairly, they’ve had at least 100 years to do so.
How long should we give them to put some action behind their words? Put another way, when should we pull the plug and let their lack of action be seen as proof that they’re a bunch of lying, arrogant, racist, supremacist s@$%bags?
And why, Mr. Hart, do you INSIST on separating the vile ideology of zionism from the vile ideology of Judaism? At most, zionism is a subset of Judaism, a political movement designed to further the tenets and prophecies on which Judaism is based.
Ideologies have consequences, both good and bad. The people who promote those ideologies should be held responsible, good and bad; this is the nature of justice. That includes good ideologies (love, compassion, self-sacrifice, diligence, humility) as well as evil ideologies (racism, supremacism, usury, arrogance, vice) the “Chosen People” are so (in)famous for.

One question that the Jews (or perhaps I mean Zionists) never seem to ask themselves is “Why do people hate us?”, “Why is anti Semitism so prevalent?”.
Is it because we are successful and people are jealous?
Is it because we are greedy or devious or arrogant or cheats (chosen people and all that)?
Is it because we have stolen another people’s country – Palestine and are ethnically cleaning it as fast as we can?
is it because Israel is an apartheid state actually worse that South Africa ever was?
Maybe Jews should ask themselves these questions

Israel was planted in the heart of Arab land.Was that a good idea? l don’t think so being given that there has never been peace in that region since. Israelis will always live in fear of extinction being given their policies of occupation, expansion,domination and absolute control. With the problems of migrants fleeing the ME, how will the West solve this new refugees’ problem? l believe that the only way out is to remove Israel from the heart of Arab land and give the Jews another state somewhere in Europe or better still, America and resettle the asylum seekers in Israel/Palestine.l am sure that both states will thrive successfully.
