When Zionism During the Holocaust was Published Even Many Anti-Zionists Couldn’t Accept that Israel was a Reflection of the Nazi State - Today all that has changed
John Mearsheimer and the Nazification of Israel
In
the autumn of 2022 I brought out the first book on Zionist-Nazi collaboration
since Lenni
Brenner 40 years ago. I wasn’t to know that a year later
Israel was to embark on a genocide that bore remarkable similarity to the Nazi
holocaust.
'ERASE All Palestinians' - Popular Israeli Podcasters Claim Most Share
Their Genocidal Fantasy
At
first people like Owen Jones recoiled against any suggestion that the Zionists
had collaborated with the Nazis. In a reply to Asa Winstanley Jones wrote
an article ‘No, Jews did not collaborate in their own genocide’ Jones
soon found out that
the comparisons between the Zionists and the Nazis were true.
The
holocaust in Gaza began with the declaration
of Defence Minister Yoav Gallant that the Palestinians were ‘human animals’ the very phrase that
Himmler had used
on 4 October 1943 at Posen about the untermenschen,
the lower races.
Comparisons
with the Nazi outlook and actions abounded. Prime Minister Netanyahu declared
on October 28 that
You must
remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.
Video. Did Israeli children really sing about annihilating everyone in
Gaza?
Israel’s
public broadcaster, Kan, broadcast a video of
Israeli school children singing ‘The Friendship Song’ which declared that the
Palestinians of Gaza should be ‘annihilated’.
Israel’s
Labor Zionist President, Isaac Hertzog, stated
that
The entire
[Palestinian] nation out there that is responsible. It is not true this
rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved.
with
the clear implication that they should be wiped out.
Genocidal
statements by Government Ministers abounded. South Africa in its application to
the International Court of Justice submitted a 500 page document containing
multiple genocidal statements by Israeli leaders.
For
example Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said
that
No one in the
world will allow us to starve 2 million people, even though it might be
justified and moral in order to free the hostages.
In
fact Israel had consistently implemented a policy of restricting food aid to
the minimum and from March 2025 imposed
a total blockade on food and water imports. He went on to say
that “Gaza will be entirely destroyed”.
The
reality of the Gaza holocaust made Zionism
During the Holocaust highly relevant. Calls for the extermination of every
last single Palestinian abounded. Israel’s oldest podcast by Two Nice Jewish
Boys fantasised
about pressing a button and getting rid of every Palestinian in Gaza and the
West Bank. Elad Barashi, a famous Israeli television producer even called
for the introduction of gas chambers.
Shimon Elkabetz, the chairman of the Israel Film Council explained on Channel i24 News that "With this enemy, it's just like using a lice comb. Just kill them. Just exterminate them." One can only assume that Elkabetz hadn’t read Hitler’s Mein Kampf where he said of German-Jewish emigrants to America that they were a 'lice-ridden migration.' [p.320, tr. Ralph Manheim]
We
have the irony of Israel on the one hand solemnly remembering the extermination
of Europe’s Jews during the Holocaust. At the same time they are carrying out the
extermination of the Palestinians. This isn’t simply cognitive dissonance. It is
old fashioned settler colonialism with the holocaust as its protective shield.
Is it any wonder that Tommy Robinson is so enamoured
with Israel?
Zionism
had stripped the holocaust of any contemporary or universal meaning. This only
became apparent to many people after October 7 but it had always been apparent.
Israel helped
the Guatemalan Junta in the 1980’s to perpetrate a genocide of the Mayan
Indians. Israel was the closest
ally
of the Apartheid state in South Africa. At the same time Israel also instituted
a regime of Jewish Supremacy in Israel itself. Beginning with ethnic cleansing,
as had Hitler, it ended up with genocide.
One
thing that Zionism
During the Holocaust had done which Brenner did not do was to focus on
the ideological legitimisers of Israeli racism and ethnic cleansing, the
holocaust industry.
I
showed that these holocaust memorial organisations, because they had posited
that the Nazi holocaust of Jews was unique, had depoliticised and ethnicised
it. Never Again only meant Jews no
one else.
Karen
Pollock of Britain’s Holocaust Education Trust condemned the ‘shameful’ comparisons between the holocaust in Gaza and the Nazi
genocide. In Pollock’s eyes, drawing universal conclusions from the holocaust was
‘shameful’.
When the
Los Angeles Holocaust Museum posted a message on Instagram, the first
slide of which featured a drawing of a hexagon formed by six linked arms — with
the words ‘Never Again’ Can’t Only Mean
Never Again For Jews.’ there was furious response from Zionists. The
message was interpreted as referring to the genocide in Gaza. One commentator
wrote that
This post is
beyond disgraceful. Whoever created, approved, and posted this should be
ashamed of themselves. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves.
Two days
later, the museum deleted the post and published an apology. Unlike the first Instagram post,
the museum blocked people from commenting.
The Los
Angeles Holocaust Museum wasn’t alone. Every single holocaust museum and
institution has refused to recognise, still less condemn, Israel’s genocide or compare
what Israel was doing to the actions of the Nazis.
When 50 holocaust researchers asked Yad Vashem, Israel’s holocaust propaganda museum, to condemn
the genocidal statements made by Israeli politicians, military and other public
figures, its Chair Dani Dayan refused.
Instead Dayan asserted that the Israeli army was not conducting
a genocide but was acting ‘within the constraints Hamas imposes on us
to comply with the proper moral standards and the laws of war.’
Dayan himself was Secretary-General of the fascist anti-Arab Tehiya party, and a candidate to the Knesset on its list in the Israeli legislative elections in 1988 and 1992.
Dayan was also on the Executive of the settler Yesha Council,
which is the local government for West Bank settlers. Unsurprisingly in 2015
Brazil rejected him as Israel’s nomination as its Ambassador because of his
fascist credentials. Clearly Dani Dayan is well suited, from the Zionist
standpoint, to run Yad Vashem!
One can only assume that support for the destruction of Gaza’s hospitals, universities and extermination of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are what passes for high moral standards at Yad Vashem.
The first
edition of Zionism During the Holocaust was
self published. It sold over 5,000 copies. I have now been offered and signed a
contract with Verso Books to publish a second edition which will come out in
2027. It will include a new chapter on the Holocaust in Gaza. The book is
likely to be very different from the first edition.
In the
meantime I have terminated my contract with New Generation Publishers which
means that no further copies of the book will be printed.
I have a
few copies that I purchased before signing the new contract and if anyone wants
to purchase a copy they should contact me at tonygreenstein104@gmail.com. The price will be £12.50 per copy for those in
Britain but postage will be about £15 extra for those in Europe and £ 28 extra
for those in the United States and Canada.
