Jews, Israel, and Zionism

  Israel (Jacob), Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH), is one of Allah, Almighty God's Prophets. Muslims, are required to believe in all of Allah's Prophets, as much as they believe in the Prophet of all humanity, Mohammed, peace Be Upon Him (PBUH).

Prophet Israel, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH), his morals, ethics, and principles that, are known to traditional Jews, don't associate in any shape or form with that of the state of 'Israel'. Thus, it's a sheer rip off, for Zionists to call their illegal and violent state, since its inception the State of 'Israel'.

According to "True Torah Jews" web site, traditional Jews are against Zionism and Zionists. It states: " Although there are those who refuse to accept the teachings of our Rabbis and will continue to support the Zionist state, there are also many who are totally unaware of the history of Zionism and its contradiction to the beliefs of Torah-True Jews."

Further more, on June 18th, 2003, a panel entitled "Jews Against Zionism", by Roland Rance, Alice Coy, Haim Bresheethand Lenni Brenner, all the panelists who are all Jews, criticized the immoral practices carried out by the Zionists in Palestine.

They drew a conclusion that, the name of (Israel), Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) is too noble to be linked to the State of 'Israel', which is going totally, astray from that, of real Torah instruction, as well as from the human's attitudes of the prophet (Israel), Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH).      

As a result, humanity, including Arabs and Muslims, have no problem at all, with the Jews (as People of the Book), or the Prophet Israel, Peace Be Upon Him.

The problem is with Zionism and the behavior of the Zionists in 'Israel'. Therefore, when the Nazis murdered the Jews during WWII, Arabs and Muslims have conceived such a brutal ordeal as completely, against Islam.

One presumes, as do many, when it comes to the Middle East conflict, it's not the US administration that determines what, why and how BUT, the 'Israeli' Lobby (the Zionist Lobby). In other words, as many argue, it is the Zionist Lobby which runs the United States Of America especially as regard to the Middle East ('Israel', Arabs, Palestinians, and Iran).

The 'Israeli' (Zionist) PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his ultra- Zionist FM, couldn't be clearer on the issue lately. They have insulted Joe Biden, the US Vice President, last week, while visiting 'Israel' (the Zionist State), without considering even, a minimum degree of diplomacy.

They, in an orchestrated act, announced the building of yet, 1,600 homes at the illegal Israeli settlement of Ramat Shlomo, in East Jerusalem. It was not a "regrettable mistake", as Netanyahu claimed. The timing was well calculated by them all, in the 'Israeli' (Zionist) Cabinet.

It was a crystal clear message to 'Whom It May Concern': It's NOT the President of the United States Of America, or the Vice President, or their Secretary Of State, who determines what should we say or do. It's "our Lobby in the US, and equally, our Lobbies in the EU".

After Hilary Clinton, 'softly', criticized 'Israel' (the Zionist State) for what had happened, she was apparently, 'forced' - by the Republican lobby in the US Congress (part of the AIPAC, and the 'Israeli' Lobby i.e., the Zionist Lobby) to change her 'soft' criticism' 180 degrees by reiterating her and the ' US 60 year old rhetoric and stance'. Her statement followed by her President's statement, and everybody else in the US administration, in a kind of a panicking marathon,  that, despite what happened 'Israel' is the closest US ally in the World, and the US is committed to 'Israel's' security.
