Ever hear about the ten commandments? Here's a review since some people want to say that people who condemn these sales are "anti-semitic":
You shall not steal.
You
shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your
neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything
that belongs to your neighbor.
Or in Hebrew:
לֹא תִגְנֹב
לֹא תַחְמֹד בֵּית רֵעֶךָ לֹא תַחְמֹד אֵשֶׁת רֵעֶךָ וְעַבְדּוֹ וַאֲמָתוֹ וְשׁוֹרוֹ וַחֲמֹרוֹ וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לְרֵעֶךָ
From Chabad.org, so you don't say I'm making this up:
The 10 Commandments (or Aseret Hadibrot, “The Ten Statements,” in Hebrew) were communicated by G‑d to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai, 50 days after the Exodus from Egypt. The event is known as the Giving of the Torah. G‑d then carved the Ten Commandments onto two tablets of stone, which he gave to Moses. Moses smashed the tablets, and G‑d carved the Ten Commandments onto a second set of tablets, which were subsequently placed in the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ten Commandments are not the entirety of G‑d’s instructions for His people (there are 613 commandments). However, they contain within them the kernel from which the others emerge.
So, you are violating a couple of G-d's commandments, but Zionism isn't religious. Zionism is a political ideology, which is why it's pretty antithetical to Judaism. But that doesn't stop Zionists, who aren't all Jewish, from trotting out the ad hominem of "anti-semitism".
I wasn't going to mention the three oaths since they are from Midrash and have some controversy, but:
The Three Oaths is the popular name for a midrash found in the Talmud, which relates that God adjured three oaths upon the world. Two of the oaths pertain to the Jewish people, and one of the oaths pertains to the other nations of the world. The Jews for their part were sworn not to forcefully reclaim the Land of Israel and not to rebel against the other nations, and the other nations in their turn were sworn not to subjugate the Jews excessively.
Among Orthodox Jews today there are primarily two ways of viewing this midrash. Haredim who are strongly anti-Zionist often view this midrash as legally binding, and therefore the movement to establish the state of Israel and its continued existence would be a violation of Jewish law, whereas Religious Zionists have the view that either the oaths are no longer applicable or that they are indeed binding, but the current movement is not a violation of them. Both buttress their positions by citing historic rabbinic sources in favor of their view.
But the real kicker is that stealing property was an aspect of the holocaust, from the Intercept's How Israel Quietly Crushed Early American Dissent on Palestine:
In one story, Zukerman reported about a Holocaust survivor who had
recently resettled in Israel, in the former home of an Arab family. The
survivor became “openly obsessed” about her morality, Zukerman wrote,
after her children found some of the evicted family’s possessions. “The
mother was suddenly struck by the thought that her children were playing
with the toys of Arab children who were now exiled and homeless,”
Zukerman continued. “Is she not doing to the Arabs what the Nazis did to
her and her family?”
Yes, stealing Jewish homes was an aspect of the holocaust.
Who are you calling anti-semitic????
You need to read the literature of the Zionists before you go around calling people anti-semitic.
After all, how many Jews did the Zionists save during the holocaust? I mean the movement had been around for at least 50 years when it really got up and running. For that matter, it was forming when the other nationalist ideologies were.
Let's make Zionism the aberration it was before 1947 again. Zionism is not Judaism--never was, never will be.
And you have serious problems if you need a goy to tell you that!
