(In)famous Zionist Quotes

Reading the foundational texts of any ideology, including Zionism and its underlying violent biblical garbage, as well as statements by its adherents, give insight into the psyche of those who espouse that ideology. Remember that the biblical texts of the old testament were written by different people over centuries, then copied over and over with modifications, alterations, additions, substitutions etc. in the course of history. The texts are incoherent, they are contradictory, and have little serious religious content. The Old Testament is a fictional account written by hallucinating smelly old men who thought themselves better than everyone else, not unlike the written rubbish left to us by the Pharaonic civilization with all its self-serving aggrandizement and exaggerated glory. 

Historically irrelevant to our time, most of the stories and claims in the religious accounts are pure fiction for which modern archaeology has found virtually no evidence to support them. From a religious perspective, they have become dangerous to human civilization. Not to exclude any of the self-righteous monotheistic cults, Islam and Christianity too have proven their barbarity over the centuries. Yet billions of people of this 21st century continue to believe their lies as true and use them as foundations for barbaric ideologies with which to hate, mistreat, and justify the killing of other people. Should we perhaps express our gratitude to the Big Zombie in the Sky for all the injuries His benefaction has caused us? Or perhaps it is not His fault; it is - as the monotheistic cultists say in their own defense - it is how people interpret the texts. But that is exactly the point: anyone can write fiction, but it takes a few criminals to claim their fiction to be the "Word of God" and thus immunize themselves against criticism. It is outrageous in our time that of all the ideologies that humans have invented, only the religious ones claim an untouchable degree of respectability and demand that their beliefs, which have caused so much mayhem, be shielded from criticism.   --------------------------------------------------

- Talmud: Non-adulterated Talmudic texts reveal the foundational racism that is built in the psyche of those who continue to believe its supremacist, racist, exclusivist Bronze Age tenets and refuse to denounce them and remove them from their religious texts. Here are a tiny few of the racist beliefs embedded in the religion:

“The Jews are human beings, but non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts.” (Talmud: Baba mezia, 114b)

 “Even though God created the non-Jew[s], they are still animals in human form. It is not becoming for a Jew to be served by an animal. Therefore he will be served by animals in human form.” (Midrasch Talpioth, p. 255, Warsaw 1855)

 “Although the non-Jew has the same body structure as the Jew, they compare with the Jew like a monkey to a human.” (Schene luchoth haberith, p. 250 b)

Sexual intercourse between Gentiles is like intercourse between animals.(Talmud Sanhedrin 74b)

- Torah [Deuteronomy 7: 2 - 6 ], God urged the Israelites to commit genocide.
"And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth." 

- Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef: "Black Africans are monkeys".

- Itamar Ben Gvir and his terrorist Jewish settlers during their murderous rampage in Hawara: "Death to the Arabs. Kill all the Arabs. Expel all the Arabs".

- Ariel Sharon, December 17, 1982.
“Even today I volunteer to do Israel's dirty work, to kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and burn them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the rug from under the feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us crying. Even if it means blowing up a few synagogues, I don’t care. And I don’t mind if after the job is done you put me in front of a Nuremberg trial and then jail me for life. Hang me if you want, as a war criminal. What your kind does not understand is that the dirty work of Zionism is not finished yet, far from it.” – Ariel Sharon, in an interview with Israeli writer Amos Oz published in Davar, December 17, 1982.

- Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001: We, the Jewish people, control America."Every time we do something, you tell me the Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear. Don't worry about American pressure on Israel; WE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, CONTROL AMERICA. AND THE AMERICANS KNOW IT."

  - 1880s. Letters exchanged between early Zionists on how to create Israel.

Vladimir (Ze’ev) Dubnow wrote to his brother, the historian Simon Dubnow, in October 1882: 

“The ultimate goal … is, in time, to take over the Land of Israel and to restore to the Jews the political independence they have been deprived of for these two thousand years …. The Jews will yet arise and, arms in hand (if need be), declare that they are the masters of their ancient homeland.” (Dubnow himself shortly afterward returned to Russia.)

Ben-Yehuda, who settled in Jerusalem in September 1881, wrote in July 1882 to Peretz Smolenskin in Vienna: “The thing we must do now is to become as strong as we can, to conquer the country, covertly, bit by bit … We will not set up committees so that the Arabs will know what we are after, we shall act like silent spies, we shall buy, buy, buy.”

In October 1882 Ben-Yehuda and Yehiel Michael Pines, who had arrived in Palestine in 1878, wrote to Rashi Pin, in Vilna: “We have made it a rule not to say too much, except to those … we trust … the goal is to revive our nation on its land … if only we succeed in increasing our numbers here until we are the majority …. There are now only five hundred [thousand] Arabs, who are not very strong, and from whom we shall easily take away the country if only we do it through stratagems [and] without drawing upon us their hostility before we become the strong and populous ones.”

- Hanan Ashrawi, 2015:
The Palestinians are the only people on earth required to guarantee the security of their occupier, while Israel is the only country that demands protection from its victims.
