Zionists love quipping how Muslims can have over 50 countries, but Jews can’t even have one the size of New Jersey.
Their analogy fails at basic scrutiny.
Israel is not a theocracy, nor merely a country with a Jewish majority. Its Nation-State Law makes the audacious claim of being the nation-state of Jews worldwide, asserting an artificial national identity for Jews of different nationalities.
Moreover, the law explicitly states that Israel shall act within the Diaspora to strengthen the “affinity” between the state and Jews worldwide. But how exactly do they increase this “affinity,” if not by convincing Jews that they are unsafe in their own countries? What can a terror-ridden country possibly offer Jews living in stable, peaceful countries? Which leads us to another key provision of the Nation-State Law: Jewish settlement in Israel.
And herein lies the pernicious logic. Why would Jews voluntarily leave stable countries for a state plagued by conflict and terror? Fear becomes the incentive. By constantly focusing on Jew-hatred and politicizing antisemitism, Zionists cultivate the perception that Jews are unsafe wherever they live, making Israel appear to be their only refuge.
That fear is not an organic response to antisemitism. It is deliberately amplified and politically exploited by Zionists to strengthen Jewish identification with Israel and encourage settlement.
The soul of Zionism is to transform the eternal People of the Book into a nationality. Zionists have nationalized every aspect of our religion to buttress a political movement, calling Israel a “Jewish state” and imposing an artificial national connection between Jews worldwide and Israel.
It seeks to establish the same national relationship between Jews and Israel as Americans have with the United States and the British with the United Kingdom, deliberately glossing over the fact that Judaism is a religion, not a nationality.
This phenomenon is unparalleled anywhere in the world. We can be proudly American and devoutly Jewish, with absolutely no national connection to Israel.
So no, Israel is not just another country in the Middle East. It is a state responsible for appropriating the identity of millions of Jews worldwide and nationalizing the world’s most ancient religion.
But they will fail. Whoever goes against GD ultimately does.
