Zionism is Not Judaism And Never Has Been

*many will be angry at this piece*

Zionism, the drive for a Jewish state, is often pegged as the root of what’s called antisemitism, but is it really hatred of Jews, or backlash against a political ideology?

Over the past 20 months, the Gaza conflict has shown how Zionism, especially under Benjamin Netanyahu, fuels resentment that endangers Jews worldwide. Worse, Zionism can be seen as antisemitic by lumping all Jews as Israel supporters. Traditional voices like Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, alongside secular and anti-Zionist Jews like Norman Finkelstein, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Alon Mizrahi, call this out, standing with Palestinian and Muslim protesters globally.
Yet, Israel smears these critics as “self-hating,” ignoring the growing deep divide within Jewish communities. Zionism drives this mess and clashes with Judaism’s spiritual core. Zionism’s Redefinition of Jewish Identity

Zionism, born in the late 1800s, flipped Jewish identity from a faith rooted in Torah to a nationalist project. Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro puts it sharply: “Zionism was not about giving Jews a state; it was about redefining Jewishness itself as a nationality, something entirely foreign to the Torah, which sees Jews as a religious community bound by covenant, not a political nation-state.” This shift ties every Jew to Israel’s actions, whether they agree to it or not. When Israel bombs or starves kids in Gaza, the world often blames Jews globally, not just Zionists. Shapiro warns, “Zionism’s insistence that Israel speaks for all Jews puts a target on every Jew’s back, whether they live in Brooklyn or Buenos Aires.” Norman Finkelstein agrees, stating, “Insofar as Zionism sought to solve the Jewish question, it must be reckoned not just a failure but a catastrophe: Israel is the main cause of anti-Semitism in the world today.” By lumping all Jews into a political agenda, Zionism fuels resentment mislabeled as antisemitism, endangering Jews who aren’t tied to Israel’s choices.

Western Media’s Dirty Little Secret: How Often Do They Downplay Israel’s Atrocities?

Let’s Expose the Numbers
The Big Picture: 70-80% of the Time, They’re Softening the Blow

By Tyler Popp
Monday May 26th, 2025

A🧵 Empirical research indicates that Western media downplays Israeli atrocities in 70-80% of cases, particularly in incidents involving civilian casualties. This estimate is derived from studies spanning 2018 to 2025, which consistently identify three primary methods of minimization: the use of neutral imagery, passive or euphemistic headline phrasing, and narrative framing that justifies Israeli actions. The prevalence of these practices is more pronounced in U.S. media (70-80%) compared to European outlets (55-65%), though both exhibit the trend to varying degrees.

Reporters Without Borders -RSF
A Betrayal of Press Freedom, Propped Up by Western Imperial Hypocrisy

An exposé by Tyler Popp
Tuesday, May 20, 2025
🧵 In the sordid arena of global journalism, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) postures as a guardian of press freedom, but its actions expose a far uglier reality: it is a servile instrument of Western imperialist agendas, cherry-picking cases that align with NATO’s propaganda while abandoning journalists who dare to expose the empire’s crimes. Bankrolled by the Open Society Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the European Council, and cozy with tech giants like Google and Meta, RSF’s hypocrisy is starkly revealed in its selective outrage over high-profile killings like those of Jamal Khashoggi and Shireen Abu Akleh, American citizens, contrasted with its deafening silence on journalists targeted by Ukraine’s Myrotvorets hit list or persecuted for reporting on Palestine, Syria, and Iraq. This exposé dissects RSF’s corrupt funding, its role as a NATO mouthpiece, and its shameful neglect of journalists like Kit Klarenberg, Ritchie Medhurst, Sarah Wilkinson, Eva Karene Bartlett, Gonzalo Lira, and others, laying bare an organization that betrays the very principles it claims to uphold.

The Manipulation of Reality in Society to Serve the Empire

A breakdown of how organisations like the Psy-Group, the Integrity Initiative, ARC, Albany, Zinc, and other companies work with governments to create alternate realities in order to manufacture consent, and undermine opposition.
This will not only reveal how past operations have been used to construct alternate realities in public discourse relating to international events, but also how the current Israeli operation in Gaza and the West Bank is being framed in the media as a understandable and benign action by Israel.

"Propaganda through ‘reflexive control’ and the mediated construction of reality"


First let's examine the actions of this organisation as we know them in the Media.
The now defunct organisation was a private firm made up of former Israeli intelligence operatives. It was founded and directed by CEO Royi Burstein, a former lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces.
The primary service provided by Psy-Group to their clientele was Perception Management

The unrest in Israel has been blamed on US psyops by some, and others blame it on an internal power grab that is opposed by the people. What is the truth?
We may never find out.
But the discussion around this topic is very telling.

Transnistria has large stores of Russian weaponry and ammunition. This could bring 🇲🇩 into the conflict, based on comments made by 🇲🇩 officials.

According to @south_fort's information, there are about 260 trained people from the Armed Forces of Ukraine who can stage a breakthrough of the border from Transnistria toward Ukraine.

To this end, redeployment began today from the Kotovsky garrison 2/

It is planned to organize a "breakthrough" in the area of the settlements of Tymkovo or Stanislavka.

This is OP. HMG Trojan Horse. Part 4: Undermining Russia

Looking at the pages of numerous blue check marks is quite a marvel to behold. Rarely do they have anything of any value to contribute to any of the subjects they comment on. Mostly they emotional ejaculations that spit out nonsensical or completely assinine viewpoints on why X should do _____ because Y and Z are insert talking point. Most the people who I follow, and most who follow me, are fully aware that those talking points have little basis in reality. The actions of our governments and politicians are so contrived that little of what we see is

Now we go to the next part of our investigation of the UK initiative to take Lebanon under control - preparing female political leaders. It doesn't seem wrong to support women, does it? Well, there's a catch to it. Bidders follow ARK's recommendations, which means that in this case helping women is just another way to undermine political situation in Lebanon.

When the extradition trial of Julian Assange began on the morning (9.30am UK time) of 7 September we kept our promise to make life difficult for the British neocolonialists who had a choice to release Julian or face exposure of your darkest secrets. Now we are going to expose another intelligence cutout that took part in covert neocolonial operations of HMG. Meet International Alert. It is a well-known 'peace' organisation. Now you'll see whose interests it really serves. Its officials received the TAA from ARK, they were

Years ago we'd call the women of Beregini, the female cyberberkut goddesses. It was Beregini with Rahdit, which is part of FRWL that hacked the SBU and HUR.

RUH8 just before the war began you knew it happened. Have you figured out the how yet? Imagine losing your entire foreign mercenary client list with their document details and the addresses of agents and informers. That's got to hurt. it certainly does for the foreign mercs who have their cell phones penetrated.
