Jewish, NOT 'Israeli', please

'Celebrate Israel' Parade in New York

Why should we use 'Jewish' or 'Jew' in place of 'Israeli'  

For 3 reasons.

1.  to recognise the name 'israel' or 'israeli' is to recognise the right of the Jews to colonise and ethically-cleanse the region at the expense of the Palestinians and others.  Would you recognise the name given to your children by a kidnapper who had taken him?  If so, does that not validate the actions of the kidnapper?  Same goes here.

2.  When you talk about 'Jewish occupation of Palestine', or the 'Jews killing Palestinians', instead of 'israeli occupation of Palestine', or 'israelis killing Palestinians', it tends to cast all Jews in a bad light.  That is an opportunity for the Jews globally to assert that they have nothing to do with what's going on in Palestine, and they do not support it.  This will undermine the foundations of what is pushed forth, and even recognised by the so-called UN, as Jewish state for all Jews in the world, and for Jews-Only.  Hence, it is the opposition of Jews globally that will undermine the the basis for the continued actions of the Jewish leadership behind the atrocities in Palestine.  

If most Jews DO support 'israel', to continue to use the term 'israeli' instead of 'Jews', is to enable Jews to not be blamed for something they do support as we are supposed to think it is just the 'israelis' whom are doing what is being done to the Palestinians.  Thus we are avoiding the fact that their funding does come from many non-israeli Jewish and non-Jewish sources across the world from Hollywood to political interest groups to recognised Jewish organisations.  This makes it more accurate to say that this is a Jewish Problem rather than an 'Israeli' one.  

3.  What is going on in Palestine is not being done for some Jewish sector.  It is being done for, and in the name of, all Jews in the world.  In that, it villifies Jews.  The Jews of the whole world are being dragged into it.  If they are being misrepresented, they should stand up and say something, for silence is acquiescence.  So long as they, or their children, or children's children and so on and so forth, stand to gain from the existence of 'israel', the Jews of the world need to stand up and speak against it.  

If most Jews DO support 'israel', then anti-zionism is well-justified in being synonymised with anti-Jewism, and being a virtue in itself.  To do otherwise is to support racism, fascism, ethnic cleansing, and the right of might over right.  Moving against most of a race isn't racism if most of those race are racists.  Race cannot be a shield to protect them from opposition.    A racist and fascist body must be opposed whether it comes in the form of an organisation, nation, or race.  

That said, there are a small number of Jews whom DO oppose Zionism.  They are, unfortunately, small in number, but do remember that that means not all Jews are Zionists.  And for those pictured below, they too, are wise to know that the term 'israel' deserves to be placed within inverted commas to denote that the term ought not to be given official and moral recognition.  These Jews are our brothers and sisters.  




BUT

But let's face it.  Most Jews, at least in the USA, are Zionists, and hence, supporters of Jewish terrorism in Palestine.  That makes the problem not 'israelis' but 'american Jews' as well, and changes the objective narrative from 'zionists as the problem' to 'jews as the problem' when it comes to Palestine and the plight of the Palestinians.  They are worse than Al Qaida whom struck the US after decades of terrorist provocation from the US.  The Palestinians didn't do that to the Jews.  

The moment a national institution, and a global entertainment industry and institution like Hollywood, can cast Gal Gadot, an occupier of Palestine, as a superhero in Wonder Woman, that is an American Jew 'coming out' parade as full-fledged supporters of Jewish Terrorists in Palestine.  That is nothing but a whitewash of Jewish terrorism where one of them can actually be cast as a hero to a global audience.  The term 'israeli' hides the fact that it is most Jews in the US, if not in the world, whom are supporting what is being done to the Palestinians.

IN Sum

Using the term, 'Jews' or 'Jewish', in place of the name these Jews give to the lands they occupy, such as 'Israel' and 'Israeli', first recognises the Palestinian right to their homes instead of recognising the name given to it by those whom stole it, 

AND, 

it gives Jews globally the opportunity to distance themselves from what is going on in Palestine by demanding that they not be lumped together with the Jews in Palestine because they do NOT support their actions which is carried on in their name.  And if they are members of, or support in any way, organisations that do support the Jews occupying Palestine, they must distance themselves from it.

It matters not whether the UN, most governments in the world, the Europeans or Americans, via their Eurovision or Hollywood, recognise and support the term, 'israel' and 'israeli'.  When it comes to what is wrong, it is wrong no matter if much of the world stands against you.  The Truth is still the Truth.  To use the term 'israel' or 'israeli' is no different from recognising a name given to Tibet by the Chinese, or one given to your kidnapped child by her captor.
