The Anti-Semitism Blackmail
By Ziad Shaker elJishi

Nowhere as in the center of capitalism and in its
close proximity of Western Europe has the charge of
anti-Semitism invoked so much emotion.
It is the strategy by which Zionists stifle any voice
contrary to theirs.
Indeed this terrorist tactic has destroyed many lives
and the mere mention of it will cause the most fervent
voice in the capitalist system against Zionism to back
off in fear for being accused of fascist tendencies.

When did this all begin?

The effective use of this tactic started in the United
States and Western Europe in the aftermath of fascist
rise in World War II. The Zionist movement wanted to
capitalize on fascist anti-Jewish propaganda
increasing in Europe, to promote their program of
anti-assimilation and to seek an exclusively Jewish
state to be built outside of Europe.
Many historians have shown of late the close
relationship of Nazis and Zionists who worked hand in
hand to convince Jews that they had no place in
Europe. Zionists even went as far as to kill Jews (by
sinking their immigrant ships into the sea) and to
terrorize them (by bombing their temples as happened
in Iraq) to force them to submit to their program of
anti-assimilation and immigration. The Zionist and
fascist relationship was a symbiotic one feeding on
one another for racial segregation which they both
believed in.

This tactic involved the United States and was most
effective there as the supposed turning of Jewish
immigrant ships during WWII was exploited later by
Zionists to build up a “Jewish guilt trip” in the
American psyche it has never been able to escape. It
lead among many other things to Harry Truman’s
strikingly fast recognition of the Zionist entity in
Palestine declared on the Arab land of Palestine in
1948.
This guilt has been reinforced time and time again
over the years as the most important Zionist strategy
to blackmail the bourgeois classes of the United
States and Europe into submission to Zionist dictates.

This “pay-back” takes on many forms through Zionist
propaganda work; the Zionists are able to secure
continuous economic and military support from the
United States through their organized lobbies. They
are able to gain political support in United Nations
resolutions through the US veto power, and in US
bourgeois government itself resolutions on foreign
policy are secured in Zionist favor. They are also
able to secure media propaganda they have perfected in
the center of capitalism and in its close proximity in
Europe to the exclusivity of the Zionist political
point of view. Any other view portrayed in bourgeois
media is made anti-Semitic and protested vehemently*.


Even progressive organized bodies of the left have
been terrorized into submission by this tactic; for
now if you are anti-Zionist or you support an
anti-Zionist struggle as the case is in the war of
liberation in Palestine, then you are made as
anti-Semitic and that normally is enough to ostracize
you in the West from your job, your community, and
away from any mainstream public credibility.

So effective this tactic has been in the capitalist
system to stifle Zionist opposition that this charge
of anti-Semitism has been transformed in Western minds
to mean exclusively “anti-Jewish” behavior.

Exclusive to the center of capitalism and its close
proximity of Europe, everywhere else (as in Africa and
the Arab homeland) people shrug and laugh at such a
charge.

This of course has been the case until recently when
the capitalist media began (through Hollywood and CNN)
been able to influence many across the world into
accepting Zionist propaganda. So today we witness an
increasing number especially of Western bourgeois
capitalist influenced Arabs and Africans start to
parrot the Western teachings of how “we need not to be
‘ANTI-SEMITIC’ ”.

The blackmail tactic of anti-Semitism to silence
anti-Zionist voices needs to be exposed for what it is
and shred to pieces. It is a baseless charge used as a
terrorizing propaganda tool for Zionist wishes. We
must assert once more in our war of progressive
counter political propaganda what V.I. Lenin said not
so long ago:

"The idea of "Jewish nationalism" is against the
interests of the Jewish proletariat, because it
spreads amongst its ranks directly or indirectly, a
spirit opposed to assimilation that being the spirit
of the "ghetto".
