Britain’s Green Party recently voted to classify Zionism as a form of racism, understandably pissing off Israel, and once again showing it to be comprised of spectacularly ignorant tosspots, many of whom still live in their parents’ flats and worship Greta Thunberg.
Here
is the definition of Zionism: (noun) a movement for (originally) the
re-establishment of a Jewish nation in Palestine and (now) the development and
protection of Israel.
Key
word, re-establishment.
If
Zionism is racism, than so is nationalism in any form and any nation. So
is “America First,” “Oh, Canada,” and the desire of any nation to develop and
protect itself.
Everything
can’t be racist or nothing is racist. But wait, isn’t the last sentence I just
typed RACIST?! I must have had nefarious reasons for writing it. Am I a
racist?!
How
I long for the time when racism meant dislike or abuse of someone because of
their race. Those were simpler times! Now, reading is racist, as are
kindness, punctuality, intelligence, highways, weather, history, national
parks, Legos, toast, and breathing. Among countless other things. And the color
of one’s skin matters far more than the content of one’s character. But wait,
isn’t that racist? Wouldn’t Martin Luther King, Jr., himself deem it so?
(Did I make a mistake in assuming King’s preferred pronouns?! If so, I
deeply apologize!)
In
truth, it is usually the people who casually hurl accusations of “RACIST!” at
everyone—and everything-- else who are the actual racists. If the UK
Green Party wants to equate an historically demonized and persecuted people’s
quest for a tiny country of their own, a safe space if you will, with racism,
they have it backwards. I detest the Green Party, not because its members are green,
or any other color, but because their beliefs and preferred policies would
necessarily lead to needless hardship for the vast majority of citizens
of…planet Earth. Ergo, I would call them not just plain old, garden variety
racists, but multi-race racists. (Equal opportunity racists?)
I
have seen the idiocy, hatred, and hypocrisy on local college campuses. There
were Palestinian flags at my daughter’s graduation ceremony. And I have seen it
in the eyes of folks such as Tucker Carlson (whom
I used to respect) and Candace Owens.
Zionism
isn’t racism. Is unfounded hatred of the Jewish people racism? Technically no.
But it is nonetheless despicable, hypocritical, and idiotic.
