Zionism: Fascist, Imperialist Creation, Part III

Part I of this article is here, Part II is here

In 1906, Ben-Gurion, Israelā€™s first prime minister, urged workers in Jaffa to oppose those who wanted to organize, instead of excluding, Arab workers. He emphasized the ā€œevil of mixed labor.ā€ In 1930, oneĀ  of his followers bragged about ā€œattacking Jewish housewives in the markets and smashing the Arab eggs they bought.ā€

Zionism and the NaziĀ  Holocaust

Ben Gurion welcomed Hitlerā€™s rise in Germany. He saw it as an opportunity to build a Jewish state in Palestine. In 1933, Zionists wrote to Hitler, ā€œWe too are against mixed marriages and for maintaining the purity of the Jews.ā€ Nazi and Zionist ideology are both fascist.

The Nazis, in turn, allowed Zionist organizations to function while banning all other gatherings of Jews.

Most German Jews rejected Zionism but didnā€™t see its full danger. Without the complicity of the Judenrӓte (Jewish Councils, mostly Zionists), the Nazis couldnā€™t have massacred six million Jews.

These Nazi collaborators convinced masses of Jews to passively board the trains, lying that they would go to ā€œwork campsā€ instead of death camps. Some of these traitors then got passage to Palestine.

In 1943, the Jews remaining in the Warsaw ghetto organized an uprising. Led by communists and anti-fascists, their resistance became massive when they began executing the Judenrӓte. They were poorly armed, receiving only a few weapons from the Polish underground. Yet they held down a whole Nazi division for weeks, inspiring other ghetto rebellions.

Nazis bribed ā€œtrustworthyā€ Zionists like Rudolf Kasztner. He made a deal with Nazi Eichmann. For telling Hungarian Jews to go quietly to the ā€œwork campsā€ (gas chambers), he got safe passage to Palestine for himself, his family, and six hundred ā€œprominentā€ Jews whom he chose. He is responsible for the deaths of many thousands whose surviving relatives say would have escaped if they had known they faced certain death!

Tens of thousands of Jewish resistance fighters did escape to the forests to join communist-led partisans. Stalinā€™s Partisan Order in 1942 declared a ā€œpeoplesā€™ war.ā€ It reversed the Sovietsā€™ previous reluctance to accept civilians, minorities, including Jews, and women as fighters. Up to two million others escaped to eastern Russia.

Israel: Founded by Attacking Palestinian and Jewish Masses

In 1948, the UK imperialists backed the founding of Israel. From 1947 to 1949, the Israeli government violently evicted 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. It was the racist Nakba (Arabic for ā€œcatastropheā€). In southern Israel, Palestinian refugees were forced into the Gaza Strip. After 2006, it became the worldā€™s largest open-air prison.

That ethnic cleansing continues today! Since Oct 7, the US-backed Zionist governmentā€™s massacre has left 100,000 people in Gaza ā€œeither dead, injured, or missing and presumed deadā€ from bombing raids, fighting on the ground. (World Health Organization, February 5, 2024)

Zionism is against the interests of Palestinian, Jewish, and all workers. But many Israeli Jews support Zionism: the fascist settlers who murder and displace Palestinians in the West Bank, and those soldiers who have swallowed Zionismā€™s poisonous racism.

Destroying Gaza will also allow Israeli rulers to control the enormous oil and gas fields off its coast.

Communism Will Abolish Racism, the Mortal Enemy of All Workers

The only answer to the racist genocide in Gaza today is communist revolution to wipe out all capitalists and imperialists, including from China. All are complicit in this disaster. No ā€œpeaceā€ or ā€œresistā€ movement can end genocide, imperialism, or fascism. But revolution to end capitalism will.

From its very start, Zionism has been a fascist ideology. It is anti-worker, racist, nationalist, and anti-communist. It has always been pro-imperialist and capitalist. It is anti-Muslim and antisemitic. Zionist leaders were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe and tens of thousands of Palestinians today!

The masses, armed with communist ideology and weapons, will defeat Zionism and all fascism.

It has always been possible for Jews to join in solidarity with their Palestinian brothers and sisters. More are today.Ā  This must and will be the future! Palestinians and Jews, and all workers, need to build communist relations of friendship and solidarity in our struggle for communism.

Our victory depends on the ideology of the mighty working class, especially industrial workers, soldiers, and the youth.

Letā€™s spread Red Flag and build communist collectives to unite Palestinian, Jewish, and all workers, soldiers and youth for a communist revolution.

These will lay the basis for a Party of millions of workers, soldiers, and youth leaders. They will abolish racism and nationalismā€”mortal enemies of all workers. We will end all capitalismā€™s horrors and build the communist world that we deserve. A world of cooperation and sharing, without imperialism, money, profits, borders, or nations.

German Zionists, Nazis, and the British Mandate in Palestine Conspired to Make Transfer Agreement

In 1933, US Jewish war veterans organized a hugely effective, massive worldwide boycott of Nazi Germanyā€™s products because of its antisemitism. The boycott was popular among Jews and non-Jews alike, cutting German exports drastically. It threatened the German economy and Hitlerā€™s power in his first year as head of state. It forced the Nazis to scale back their open attacks on Jews, temporarily.

But the Zionists opposed it! Treacherous German Zionist leaders rallied to oppose the boycott. In exchange, the Nazis would let some German Zionists transfer part of their assets to British Mandate in Palestine and go to Palestine.Ā  In return, the Zionist leaders there bought more and more goods from Nazi Germany, breaking the worldwide boycott.
