‘Zionists can’t make jazz’

Save the MET says:

Paul, With the exception of a few kooky Chassids and some inane youngsters who have not been given a proper balanced Middle East history education devoid of Palestinian propaganda. Most Jewish believe in a Jewish state, if that’s wghat you call Zionism, sure. However, the Zionist movement was formed in 1896/97 by a Richard Wagner opera loving Jew named Theodor Herzl. The movements mission was to form a Jewish State with Jerusalem as it’s capitol. That finally occured in 1948, three years after the end of the second world war and the atrocities committed by the Nazi’s and other European governments who joined in, or tacitly approved. The formation of the State of Israel, which occured when the British signed the land over to the Jews and Harry Truman recognized the state. Keep in mind Paul, this historically was Jewish land and the “Palestinians” at this point were the usurpers left over from history. They have become useful pawns over the years for all of the other Middle Eastern states. They are looked upon as chattel by Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qtar etc. etc. They don’t want them in their lands. Do you ever hear Iran offering to resettle them in Iran? Yet, they are willing to send them bomb making materials and firearms, as well as military planning to do really horrific things to Israel. Call Iran on the carpet with all of their misdeeds and they shrug their shoulders and say, “who me?”.

So back to your misuse of the word Zionist and Zionism. You will be hard pressed to find any group other than the ridiculously overtly religious and their numbers are few and the uneducated who do not beleive Israel has a right to exist. The Zionist movement was effectively over in 1948 when the State of Israel was founded, that was it’s mission. Now there are Jews who fight every day against the bigotry, and hatred you have been suckered into with your statement that not all Jews are Zionists. That’s an absurd statement made by people who are frenkly uneducated, antisemitic and have bought into the propaganda put out by operations like Hamas, Hezbollah, the KKK, the John Birch Society, etc, etc. Perhaps you should enroll in a Middle Eastern history class at a balanced institution of higher learning.

I’m only too sorry I felt like I had to write this message on a board of generally well educated people, but your comment was a bridge too far.
