Last night I had the discomposing experience of hearing a fellow Gentile (albeit a United Church Christian) inform me of what should be the Zionism of the Jewish people. This was not just any Christian; this was a curate of the United Church of Canada. And it's not that I've never heard such perverse ideals articulated into nonsensical and unctuous clatter-it's just that I've never debated such fools face to face.
History is witness to the fact that everyone outside of Orthodox Judaism-Christians, Muslims, and the United Church (whatever they are) - have arrogated themselves as being the sole authority for defining what should be, or not be, true Zionism. Such an ex nihil, (by reason of the fact that this arrogation is the fruit of non-Jewish imagination) has become acceptable to the non-Jewish world, and especially acceptable to that Muslim androcracy most commonly referred to in the media as the United Nations.
Who was it said that if you say it loud enough and often enough, people will accept your noetic insanities as truth. Sadly, the non-Jewish world, and especially the UN and the United Church, have been successful in imposing as "international law" their noetic insanities upon those brave Jews who choose to return to, and build homes upon, the land of Israel. The Torah obligation for all Jews to inhabit and settle upon the land of Israel has been transmogrified by these political and religious bullies into "Zionism is racism". Robert Fulford of the National Post writes, "So far as we can learn from how they act in public, these organizations appear to have a foreign policy with only one item on its agenda, the same one they would have if they were in fact motivated fundamentally by anti-Semitism." I know who the racists are, and they are not the observant Jews of Israel.
It comes down to this: Islam (which would include the UN) and Christianity (which may or may not include the United Church, I don't know), both perversions of Judaism, have no land to call their own. Whatever property in Israel Christians and Muslims possess at present was wrested from Jewish ownership by religiously motivated military expansionism.
Only Israel is defined in the Torah as the parcel of land wherein Jews were given a writ of mandamus by their G-D (not the god of the Christian and not the god of the Muslim) to inhabit and from within the borders of this land exist as "a light unto the nations." Only problem, however, is that these "nations" (including those wherein Christianity and Islam have become preponderant), instead of accepting the counsel of the Jewish people, have taken it upon themselves to instruct the Jewish people on how to practice their Judaism. This, in my opinion, boils down to darkness instructing light.
As far as the east is from the west, both the Christian and the Muslim are removed from the reality of Jewish Zionism. Neither have any business with the Jewish business of Judaism; neither is qualified or justified to be telling the Jew what should be, or how he should achieve, his Zionism.
