During the Israeli regime’s recent onslaught in Gaza, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, while attending the Israeli war room, said, "I appeared in the war room as a Jew to defend Israel."
This is despite the fact that the Jewish rabbis have repeatedly declared that Israel does not represent the Jews. Moreover, hundreds of Jews in the United States have taken to the streets to condemn Israel's crimes in Gaza, and asking Joe Biden's administration to establish a ceasefire.
In Iran, Siamak Merah Sedek, the representative of Iranian Jews in Parliament, considered Israel's behavior similar to "Nazi Germany's behavior during World War II" and said, "The crimes of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people are reminiscent of Saddam Hussein's behavior towards the Shiite areas of Iraq and the behaviors of Nazi Germany during World War I and II against humanity."
The following are the main reasons why the world's Jews do not support the Zionist regime:
1. Zionism is a racist ideology and an anti-Jewish philosophy that believes that it has tried to build an independent land for the Jews living in exile. The anti-Zionism Jews argue that Israel's behavior is the exact opposite of God's decree, as God does not approve establishing a land by committing all kinds of crimes against the Palestinian people. This is a clear violation of Jewish religious laws towards other people. Orthodox Jews say they do not support "two states for two nations", but they support the return of the entire occupied territories to the Palestinian people, because we believe that the Jews who support peace will be able to live peacefully under the flag of the Palestinian state. The spokesperson of the Anti-Zionist Jewish Association of America, denying the Israeli regime's false claim of representation by the Jews, says, "Netanyahu and his party members are trying to pass laws that declare Israel as the state of the Jewish nation but he can never claim to represent Judaism or the Jewish people. Netanyahu and his party members can never claim to represent Judaism or the Jewish people.”
2-Anti-Zionist Jewish rabbis view the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine before the arrival of the Messiah as a sin. This belief fuels their opposition to the Zionist regime. They have established an organization called "Naturi Karta" to lead the resistance against a Jewish state before the coming of the Messiah. These groups are deeply committed to their Jewish faith but stand firmly against Zionism. Rabbi Daoud, a member of Naturi Karta, emphasized in an interview with the Tasnim news agency in Washington that Judaism, Zionism, and the Israeli regime are not supported and are even condemned. They firmly reject Israel and Zionism as representatives of American Jews and denounce the Israeli regime's actions carried out under the pretext of Judaism. The Jewish Anti-Occupation (JATO) organization, founded in New York in 2000, condemns the continuation of the 1967 occupation and the expansion of settlements as a form of racism, which they see as the primary source of regional insecurity.
3-Anti-Zionist Jews consider the Israeli regime and its political parties as secular, non-religious institutions. They argue that the Zionist regime, under the guise of supporting Jews and exploiting the Holocaust issue, has propagated a culture of irreligiosity and Westernization in the occupied territories. They believe this has led to moral decay and a betrayal of Jewish teachings, even at official levels.
4-A major point of contention for anti-Zionist Jews is the compulsory conscription of religious Jews into the Israeli army. They argue that religious Jews have consistently refused to serve in the military due to their opposition to the concept of an independent state of Israel and its warlike tendencies. Israel's secular parties are determined to conscript religious individuals into the army.
Anti-Israeli rabbis decry the presence of racism in the occupied territories, which affects Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews, including Ethiopian immigrants. They argue that such racial discrimination and the mistreatment of Ethiopian immigrants through poverty, illness, and unemployment in the occupied territories, along with incidents like the unethical blood collection, contradict the teachings of the Torah and the ways of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). In response, hundreds of Jews involved in social and human rights activities gather each year outside the annual meeting of the Zionist lobby known as "AIPAC" and chant slogans expressing their beliefs, such as "AIPAC does not represent American Jews, this is the apartheid regime, it will end the occupation of Palestine. Do, never war with Iran, Jews for boycott of Israel, Jews for justice in Palestine, Judaism negates Zionism."
In conclusion, profound disparities exist between the interests of Jews worldwide and the Israeli regime. These differences, along with condemnation of the inhumane conduct of the occupying regime, have further isolated and provoked resentment toward the occupying regime. Some experts argue that if a referendum were held in the occupied territories to determine the future system, the majority of Jews who do not view Israel as their representative would vote to dismantle Zionism and apartheid, similar to the fall of the racist South African regime through popular votes.
