What we stand for

Jews are a multiplicity of ethnicities (Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Sephardi, etc.) with common bonds of identity and shared histories of persecution. Whether or not you believe that these ethnicities together constitute a nation, Zionism is deeply inimical to Jewish interests and survival.

Israel is an extension of US imperialism, doing its dirty work of intimidating regional enemies with periodic military aggression and a rogue nuclear arsenal. The US has no special interest in oppressing the Palestinians, but they are powerless enough to be expendable in the Great Power game.

Israel is replicating the historical function of anti-Semitism: providing useful scapegoats for when the system goes into crisis. Now that the system is starting to do so, anti-Semitism enters mainstream discourse, with bizarre theories proliferating that the Jewish client state actually controls the imperial center, Washington. (Similar theories, not surprisingly, also proliferate about the oil-rich Arabs.) Even so-called "progressives" increasingly embrace these fascistic ideas.

The way to fight back is by advancing a legitimate anti-Zionism that defends pan-Semitic dignity. Jews, long oppressed by European power as a Semitic people, have become the goy empire's proxy police force against fellow Semites. Other Jews—the rest of us—have every interest in repudiating this, and building solidarity with the Palestinians and other civil resistance forces in the Arab world.

Zionists have thrown in their lot with The Man no less than the Jewish tax-collectors of 19th-century Russia and Poland. It was the peasant Jews who paid in the pogroms when the backlash came. It is time for Jews to wise up.

We call for pan-Semitic unity between Jews and Arabs against both Zionism and the related pathologies of Jew-hatred and anti-Arab racism.

Why is a Zionist org. advertising on your site?

First, I want to say that I am truly thrilled to see this website, as I have been extremely disturbed by how those who scream "anti-Semitism" are almost uniformly Zionist, while those who stand up for Palestinian freedom and human rights are too often silent when REAL anti-Semitism/Judeophobia, not anti-Zionism, is expressed. This is a site that is desperately needed.

However, as much as I applaud your efforts, it concerns me gravely that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is advertising on your site, running an ad asking people to "Stand Up for Israel and her People". For those not familiar with IFCJ, it is a virulently Zionist, racist organization; an alliance of Christian Zionists and Jewish Zionists who are working to prevent Palestine from ever being free, and to spread lies about Palestinians and Arabs/Muslims in general. This is the very same organization, in fact, that created a video claiming that "thousands of rockets every day" are being fired into Israel from Gaza on a regular basis, and using CGI computer graphics to create non-existent images of bombs and explosions in Israel. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIyLuIiPuIo) and (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PZv7fMY83M&feature=related)

If this is a truly anti-Zionist website and organization, then it should not be taking blood money from Zionist advertisers, nor allowing them to use the site to promote their noxious, genocidal cause. Please explain to your readers how this ad ended up appearing on your site, and please remove it immediately.

We don't take blood money from Zionist advertisers.

Google does. All our ads are generated by Google Adsense. We have the Boycott Israel link to make clear that we do not support the Zionist advertisers conjured by Google algorithm. If you don't think we should carry Adsense, you are more than invited to make a donation. Thank you.
