Israel and Nazism

The greatest victim of Nazism

are Jewish people. About 6 million Jewish people were killed during the World War 2 in many parts

of Europe occupied by Nazi Germany, especially in the death camps built for the horrible purpose

based on the policy ; “Final Solution of the Jewish Problem.”

Looking back at the horrible events after 76 years, I seriously wonder why such inhuman activity

could ever take place. The anti-Jewish movement by Nazi party headed by A. Hitler was not simply

propaganda but their hatreds against Jewish “tribe” were so deep and real!

Racial prejudices always exist in varieties of degrees. Prejudices against Chinese and Korean people

in Japan before the war (WW2) were deep, but so were the prejudices against Japanese and Asians

in general in USA under the political campaign titled as “ Yellow Peril.”

However, those prejudices were not so serious or deep rooted as the anti-Jews movement of Nazi

Germany. The systematic annihilation of Jews by Nazi Germany is more horrible than any madness.

Gaza war

It is now more than half a year since start of Israeli invasion into Gaza. Tens of thousands of

children, women and men were killed, mutilated, or buried under the debris. Israel has a

responsibility to protect the people of Gaza except for Hamas by the international law. Israel has not

only born the responsibility but also hindered the efforts of the international community to deliver

even the basic material to the people. Many children are starving to or near death. The war will

leave a lasting sores in the coming generations, deep sorrow and hatred in the hearts of Gazan

people for a long time in the future. Contrary to the objective to eliminate Hamas, Israel has sown

numerous seeds that will grow to form new Hamas’ in the future. I also witnessed by CNN news that

some Israeli soldiers posing with smiles to switch dynamites to destroy huge buildings. Those acts

far exceed the realm of self-defense of Israel. It is crime against humanism.

Repetition of history in different orders

The Hamas terrorism on 7, October, 2023 on Israel was the trigger of the current Gaza war. The

history repeated itself in just an inverse order. The Hamas terrorism corresponds to the uprising of

Warsaw Ghetto in 1945. Those were desperate uprisings after many years enclosing of the Jewish

people into small areas. The Jewish uprising was desperate and hopeless; brought the total

destruction of the area and the captured people were sent to the death camps. The final report of

Nazi officers concluded; there is no more ghetto in Warsaw. But the Hamas terrorism triggered the

terrible Israeli invasion and horrible war in Gaza; we have witnessed it has been almost a genocide

in the name of self-defense. In my view it was more a political than a defensive campaign.

Brief History of Holocaust

The Old Testament tells about a tribe led by Abram and Sarai that left Ur, the ancient city along the

great rivers Tigris and Euphrates. They migrated north along the rivers to southern Syria then

turned south down to Palestine. Then one day the almighty God appeared to Abram and told him

that the tribe was selected by God. Abram and Sarai renamed themselves as Abraham and Sara to

start a new history for the selected tribe. That was the beginning of Judaism and Jews

Many years later, during severe famine, the tribe moved to Egypt. They were treated as slaves there.

The tribe led by Moses escaped Egypt across the Red Sea, migrated in Sinai desert for 40 years

before coming back to Palestine. They attacked Palestinian villages brutally to occupy the land

where they later built their state; Israel.

Israel was perished after desperate fight against the Roman Empire. Under the rule of the Roman

Empire many Jewish people left their home land and migrated to other parts of the world. The rule

of Roman Empire brought in different cultures into Palestine that bore a totally new religion;

Christianity by a son of a carpenter.

The Jewish people were discriminated in many parts of Europe because of their religion; Judaism.

In addition to their “selected by God” ideology, another title “ Christ killer” was put to the Jewish

people to justify their persecution as Christianity spread and finally was adopted as the state

religion of the Roman Empire. The Jewish people were limited in selection of occupations and areas

for living. They were enclosed in small areas called ghettos. The holocaust has continued in Europe

through ancient times, middle ages, and even in modern ages of enlightenment! The culmination of

holocaust is, of course, that committed by Nazi Germany as mentioned above.

Brief History of Palestine

Palestine is located between Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean Sea. Their

geographical condition obstructed the Palestinians in forming their own states. They were

subjugated to the great empires of Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Macedonia, Roma, etc. in the

ancient world of the Orient.

In 1948, Israel was erected in Palestine based on the UN plan of Division of Palestine without

participation of Palestinian people. On the contrary, nearly 800 thousand Palestinians were excluded

from their home lands by Israel. Then the whole Palestine was occupied by Israel in 1967 war. The

history repeated itself after 3,000 years!

Commonalities of Israel and Nazism

Israel today has many commonalities with Nazi Germany.

States religions

The state religion of Nazi Germany was the extreme racism; Supremacy of Aryan races.

The state religion of Israel is an extreme racism; Judaism; “selected by almighty God” ideology.

Both are unscientific, groundless and are nothing more than propaganda. Modern genetics tell all

human beings are related. The Nazi German oppressors were in fact relatives of the persecuted

Jewish people probably just a few generations back. By going k generations back one has 2^k

ancestors. In 1,000 years back, one has 2^30 (=)10^10 ancestors which is greater than our whole

population on the earth today. All human beings are indeed brothers and sisters.

The Jewish people were limited in occupations and were enclosed in limited areas called ghettos.

The Palestinian people were enclosed in Gaza and West bank under unbearable occupation by Israel.

The Jews in Warsaw Ghetto finally rose up against Nazis that brought total elimination of the

residents in the death camps and destruction of the city in 1945 just before the fall of Nazi Germany.

Hamas in Gaza were grown by Israeli policy of total blockade of Gaza for 16 years. The blockade

deprived the Gazan people of any chances to develop their industry or fight against Hamas for

democracy. The Gazans were desperate in the poverty and for lack of freedom and hope in the future.

So was Hamas in maintaining their power and dictatorship, they finally made a desperate attempt

to attack Israel on 7, October, 2023, just as did the Jews in Warsaw ghetto in 1945.

Conclusion

The above discussions have revealed a striking similarity between Israel and Nazi Germany. The

history repeated itself by replacing Nazi with Israel, Jews with Palestinians.

I must also mention Hamas is also the same as Israel. They aim to destroy Israel to establish an

Islamic state in the land of Palestine. Note Judaism and Islam share common roots.

It is apparent that those ideologies simply perpetuate the state of wars anywhere. They are

unscientific, groundless and nothing more than propaganda in contents but pose real threats for

mankind as they have too often brought horrendous disasters in numerous wars.

It is now time to abolish the states religions and build peaceful states and the world based on

humanism, natural religion, democracy and science & technology.
