Thank you. I'm so tired of saying, "I'm not antisemitic," I'm anti-Zionism and catching hell for it. And jews that are anti zionist are self-hating! It's terrifying to come to terms with how deeply-embedded this propaganda is influencing international affairs. And I firmly believe that zionism is causing jews to be at greater risk.

Yes, Zionism is harming Jews now. Just as it did in WW II when Zionism led to the arrest, imprisonment and literal death of millions of European Jews. They actively collaborated with the Nazis, even the SS. It is a truly sordid, shameful history that is scrubbed from our educational system.

Please, pass along this information, re-package it if you wish in a Substack column of your own. We ALL have to counter the lies. As to being labeled anti-Semitic, the term has lost all meaning as they have used it as a cudgel to people into silence. I don't worry about it at all. Now that I know much more of the actual history of Israel and Zionism, I'm happy to discuss Zionism with them ... though they are too cowardly to do so. None of the hecklers I've encountered on Substack have the integrity to debate. But then again, integrity and Zionism don't go together.

Resist.

I don't think Zionism goes with ANYTHING but genocide and horror.

Yes, a lesson from history, even when it means Jews get sent off to death camps.

I don’t want ANYBODY sent off to death camps, even the Most Evil of us. I think for the people who have delivered this HELL upon the Human Race, intending to cull us, stomp us, control and subjugate us, should be given a choice: Hard labor somewhere they cannot escape from, forever, or death by Lethal Injection.

Thanks, Leon.

There is so much amazing information that has been hidden from us all.

As always, an excellent post and thought provoking cartoon. To deeply understand both parties are now just different iterations of the same ideology… slightly different sides of the same stone. You and I have discussed our disgust with our ignorance, with our failed educations, the current failure of news sources, the justice system and politics on the whole. Mike Johnson will arrest members of Congress for defying Netanyahu during his speech? A presidential candidate who thinks ‘the late great Lex Luthor’ is an actual living being! Soldiers enthusiastically murdering Gazan’s with tractors, 500 pound bombs and dogs. Every single day I walk around muttering, How did it come to this? My answer is finally clear; ignorance, betrayal and greed. And god damn it I feel so helpless. My heart is breaking. And I fear, literally. Thank you Mark for your painful brilliance and skill.

Thanks, Tom, pass along the information and the links to the book, video and Hedges podcast. Just as in WW II with Jewish resistance fighters, we are in an information underground resistance. Spread the word. Spread the truth.

I'm in awe of your reporting! I came from the same viewpoint--thinking Israel as somewhat "neutral" and that the native peoples were confined but treated somewhat fairly, but since October 7 my eyes have been popped open by the cruelty and barbarity of the IOF/IDF and they will stay open from now on. Thanks for the links and the part about Glubb. Very interesting he saw himself as Palestinian first and foremost.

"All fascist governments turn on their citizens."

This is a statement that Americans need to get their heads around. Your government is NOT on your side. It serves its masters--the oligarchy. It's time to fight back.

Thanks and let us all -- whenever possible -- get the word out. That young Jewish woman in the TikTok video shows that with accurate historical information, people can change. Use any of the material I post that you wish.

Zionist influence goes back hundreds of years.

Credit to Julius book-mentions for posting this 3 hour video about Zionism and the slave trade and the connection to the East India companies.

''...a story of a rather unknown history of Zionism from before the theft & colonization of Palestine there was the colonization of 13 sugar colonies in the the Americas & Caribbean which brought about the sugar & slave trade and the birth of globalized capitalism. Join educational discussions by legit scholars and historians, both Black & Jewish professors who have discussed the 13 Sugar Colonies and the impact they played on the Black Holocaust. No matter how much they want to hide the history, there is no longer any debate...''

Thanks so much for this: I hope this book is easy to find because I am fascinated. There has been a lot of spaces/misdirections and endless propaganda about Zionism during the 2nd world war with endless criticism of Nazis (justified?) by the Europeans and British. I have wondered about these blank spaces in our knowledge and yes I will read this book.

It was not on Amazon. I doubt it is still in print. The link to the PDF is right after the title. It is about 87 pages long. I'm printing it off today.

The book is available at several libraries in the US and elsewhere; the link above, through the extremely useful and important site Worldcat.org, can be used to order it from your local public or academic library via their Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Millions of books are available this way for borrowing, and available for sale through bookfinder.com; please do not make the mistake of thinking that Amazon is the only or best source for books! They are corporate and controlled.

Hey, thanks for the information, Rebel Nun. In our increasingly censored country, finding alternative pathways to truth is important because you won't find it on the corporate highway overpass to hell. If you have a local independent bookseller use them whenever possible. Living in a small town, Amazon is sometimes my only source for some items, but I avoid it as much as possible.

Thanks Rebel Nun. I woke at 5am this morning and figured out: Bookfinder.com

As an 11 year old in Southern Rhodesia, my first conscious image of Israel was of Moshe Dayan with his swashbuckling black eye patch. There was a common attitude of admiration for the swift 6 day winning of a war. I knew nothing of the context or the peoples. Or the uncomfortable connective threads with where I lived. So many acquaintances also undertook that recommended right of passage - working in a kibbutz!!! So very much the thing to do...

In 2017 I linked with an organization that undertook healing interventions in areas of natural and man made disasters. The slides I saw then of Gaza finally broke through the years of naivety and I started to discover the full extent of the wounds inflicted on that region.

Finkelstein and Peled brought in a startling new perspective from which it is impossible to turn away.

Thank you for introducing another understandably neglected - Palestinian.

I shall pass on his story.

Thanks. Your comments reflect mine as well. I remember the sudden appearance of Dayan and how he was lauded for swashbuckling courage. The American media loved him and Israel was mythologized in the propaganda film "Exodus", which turned the American mind into a pro-Zionist puddle. The truth coming out of Gaza and the truth of ZioNazism reveals how much we have been lied to, manipulated and propagandized. No more. Israel and the US govt. and its Zionist managers have no legitimacy, None.

Expect Gaza to be brushed from the news with the election. All of us need to pass along the truth.

another timely and propitious publication i urge others to view, read, and absorb is: BEFORE THEIR DIASPORA: A PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE PALESTINIANS 1876~1948. the introduction was written by walid khalidi of the INSTITUTE FOR PALESTINE STUDIES in wash. DC and published in 1984. i discovered this stunpolling historical~pictorial acct. of palestinian history in 1988, soon after we had moved our family to amman, in the hashemite kingdom of jordan, in order to undertake a 3-yr. IUCN contract. i was utterly stupefied by how misled by zionist/western propaganda everyone in canada and the US had been. it would not be hyperbolic to admit i was radicalized by that outstanding, informative, and heart-searing publication.

Thanks for the reference Jeanie. Your story illustrates the power and hope of getting information and references to people so they can learn the truth hidden behind the wall of ZioNazism.

Expand full comment

Sure. Before the war started, the Nazi line was that they didn't want to kill the Jews, they just wanted all Jews to leave Germany. This suited Zionists just fine, since they wanted to establish their own ethnostate in Palestine.

It is no coincidence the Zionists say the exact same thing about the Palestinians that the Nazis once said about the Jews. They are two sides of the same coin.

I, like you, didn't know much about Zionism and Israel until October 7. When I first saw things about Zionists being connected to the Nazis, I thought it was fake. I can't believe I lived for 65 years being so ignorant. I'm reading and learning more now. Thank-you for writing. I found this website criticalzionismstudies.org fyi.

Thanks, Kathy. Yes, isn't it amazing how deep the information hole is that we were all raised in! Feel free to use, pass along anything I am putting up on the issue in my Substack. We need to spread the information as far and fast as we can. Thanks for the resource, I'll check it out.

When I was a young lad, talking late 60’s ,early 70’s, you very rarely heard the word Holocaust, what you did here was The Final Solution. Which made you think why was the other solutions tried before
