American Jews, even liberal ones, will stand with Israel no matter what happens in next week’s Israeli elections and will never withdraw their support as some suggest, because they are attached to Israel on a far deeper level, a leading Zionist Supremacist academic has said.
Writing in the Haaretz newspaper, Dov Waxman, associate professor of political science at Baruch College and at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY), said that the “coming American Jewish estrangement from Israel is a myth. What actually happens in Israel is much less important to most American Jews than what it stands for in their hearts and minds.
“Whatever their misgivings about Israel’s political direction are, American Jews are not going to abandon it any time soon,” Waxman wrote.
“In recent weeks, liberal Jews in Israel and the United States have been warning that American Jews will become alienated and estranged from Israel if Israeli politics shift further to the right.
“These warnings, though no doubt heartfelt, are based on nothing but the writers’ own sense of anguish about Israel’s current political trajectory, and a conviction that this anguish is widely shared by American Jews and will lead many to emotionally distance themselves from Israel.
“They assume that because American Jews are mostly liberal and Israel is becoming increasingly illiberal this is bound to undermine the attachment of American Jews to Israel. This assumption is simply wrong.
“Israel, for them, is less a country, than a symbol. They care about Israel because of what it represents symbolically — Jewish power, pride, security, and survival.
“What actually happens in Israel and what Israel does is much less important to most American Jews, than what it stands for in their hearts and minds. As such, they will continue to care about Israel and feel emotionally attached to it, regardless of which government is in power.”
“It is only because they identify with Israel that American Jews can be ashamed of it (or conversely, take pride in it). We are only ashamed of people, groups, or countries that we feel we belong to in some sense — we might be ashamed of a member of our family, for example, but we do not feel ashamed by the actions of someone who is completely unrelated to us. To be ashamed of Israel, therefore, is to be somehow attached to it.
“Whatever the outcome of next week’s election, then, the attachment of American Jews to Israel will not be affected by it. This attachment is still strong, despite persistent anxiety about the alleged distancing of American Jews from Israel. This is good news for anyone concerned about the American Jews’ closeness to Israel, but bad news for anyone hoping that the prospect of American Jews becoming estranged from Israel might lead Israelis to think twice before voting for right-wing parties.”
Waxman’s comments are accurate, as shown time and time again. This is the reason why Jewish Supremacists in America support extreme left wing policies (such as immigration open borders, firearms ownership “reform,” a secular state and racial equality) while blindly supporting Israel which has none of those policies, and in fact endorses the very opposite.
Waxman’s comments confirm once again that Jewish Supremacism has nothing to do with “left” or “right” in Israeli politics, but has to do with the very essence of Judaism itself—the world’s only racial religion which despises all other people.
