There is a community in Uganda called the Abayudaya – which means “the Jews of Uganda” in the Luganda language. It is a Black African community that adopted the Jewish faith some 100 years ago. For the past century, this community has integrated Jewish traditions into their native Ugandan culture. For example, women bake challah, a traditional Jewish bread, in outdoor ovens.
This is a typical community of non-Semitic, non-Hebrew people around the world who converted in recent times to Judaism, including many of the European and American "Jews" who make up the Israeli people today. Though unrelated genetically, historically and culturally to the Near East and Palestine, the simple fact of their conversion to Judaism makes them eligible to rape Palestine, steal its lands and displace its native people, based on the fictional tales of a Stone Age set of writings assembled together in the Torah (Old Testament).
The Ugandan "Jewish" community, for example, was founded by Semei Kakungulu in 1919 who converted to Judaism to spite the English colonial power that was trying to convert him to Christianity. He reportedly tore the Bible in half so that it contained only the Old Testament, circumcised his sons, and declared himself a Jew. Based on biblical accounts, he made a list of rules to be followed, then brought foreign Jews to teach the community Hebrew and prepare Kosher foods.Following in the footsteps of Mr. Kakungulu, the current rabbi serves as the spiritual leader of the community. He was ordained by the Conservative Jewish movement in the United States in 2008, and then he spent a year studying in Israel.
But the community’s relationship with Israel has been difficult – Israel’s Ministry of the Interior does not recognize the Abayudaya’s members as Jews, which means they are denied the right to immigrate. On what criteria does the State of ISrael decide who is Jewish and who is not? Since most modern day Jews are nearly all converts to Judaism, except the so-called "Arab Jews" of Yemen and the Arabian peninsula, what right do the Ashkenazi Jews - East European converts during the 14th-17th centuries - have to decide who is Jewish and who is Israeli? The answer: White racism.
The Ugandan "Jewish" community is growing: a group of converts from northern Uganda has recently joined. Another group of Black African Jews lives in Kampala, Uganda’s capital city. Shmuel Mugisha serves as leader of the Kampala community. He says, "We face the challenge of assimilation", a fake challenge for these native Ugandans who share their own ancestral traditions with the rest of Uganda, but who deliberately changed their culture just to spite the colonial occupier. One would assume that they are de facto assimilated to their native culture, but their decision to convert somehow distanced them from it, and now they claim to want to assimilate?
It is noteworthy that Ugandan people are a very religious bunch, both Christians and Muslims. They are very conservative and reject all social advances that they believe contradict religious dogma. For example, the Lord's Resistance Army ( LRA) is a Christian extremist organization which operates in northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its stated goals include ruling Uganda according to the Ten Commandments, in a manner eerily similar to the Muslim Salafist movements like Al-Qaeda and Daesh-ISIS that want to rule under Sharia Law.
In conclusion, religious fervor is only a fine line away from extremism. Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity, and Israel was founded on the basis of a religious belief from the Stone Age of humanity. The fact that recently converted European Jews were subjected to the Holocaust by their fellow white Christian Europeans does not entitle them to Palestine, let alone massacre a third of the native Palestinian population, displace another third, and rule over the rest with the same abject violence of their own former Nazi tormentors. Israel was founded by a monumental crime against the Palestinian people, and based on Stone Age religious beliefs that any reasonable person ought to find anachronistic.
By the way, when European Zionists initially began their campaign to start their me-too Jewish European colony (similar to the other European colonial empires), they set their eyes on Uganda. But the crooked British found a convergence between the archaic religious argument of a "return" to Palestine by the fake European Jews on one hand, and their own oil-thirsty ambitions over the oil fields of Arabia nearby. That is when Balfour wrote his infamous letter, a simple sheet of paper addressed to the British Jewish community that was not debated in the British Parliament nor was it officially sanctioned, specifically stating that in the process of establishing a Jewish British colony in Palestine, it will be "... clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". Clearly, the British "Empire" crooks kept their filthy word: Nothing has been done to the Palestinians other than land theft, genocide, displacement, occupation, denial of identity.... Perfidious Albion.
