Do we want 5 or 6 billionaires having as much wealth as half the world

or a bit more equality?

Caitlin Johnstone writes ‘Israel isn’t relentlessly murderous and abusive because it’s run by Jews, it’s relentlessly murderous and abusive because that’s the only way to maintain an ethnostate that was abruptly dropped on top of an already existing civilization. This would be true if it’d been a Mormon state or a Romani state.’

However, the way that Israel has come into being and how it has turned out is a bit about it being an ethno state of Jews, in particular, rather than Mormons or Romanis.

This is owing to the history of Jews in Europe who regarded themselves as separate from everyone, not marrying out and running well funded faith schools; resulting in many Jews working at the top of banking, journalism and extremely successful family businesses, with understandable resentment from everyone else. Hitler wanted the Jews out of Germany as much as Jews wanted their own state. And of course Israel is different because of the Holocaust Industry.

Personally I see reinforcing identities in general, for example, as Jewish or non Jewish, as both unhelpful and restrictive . What is a Jew, how are they different to non Jews? We are all unique expressions of life, new in every moment, we don't need to burden ourselves with how we should be based on genetics, conditioning nor culture.

I think originally the Judeans didn't want to be assimilated into Egyptian culture or genetics while in exile and reinforced or developed life styles and practices that were difficult to follow and really set them apart. I can understand this.

However, now these people are assimilated genetically, they are Europeans, Africans and Americans. Many of them do not follow any of the practices or lifestyles nor believe in the religion or theology of Judaism at all. Yet still they see themselves as inherently different and separate.

Why do wealthy and successful people continually want to assert their identity as part of a historically persecuted ‘race’/religion/life style? What role does the resentment from others to the closed shop, the disproportionate numbers in high profile media positions and to the very rich families play. Does it serve to re-enforce an unhelpful ego-identity?

And also, in a flat, socialist society with state owned education, health and energy with no parasitic millionaires, monopolies nor landowners, I don't see a place for faith schools giving unfair advantage nor for billionaire dynasties. Do you?

Israel is deliberately weaponizing anger and hatred to maintain the Jewish identity.

If no one cares anymore about your (mostly White) ethnicity or if your identity is based on being persecuted, and you’re not being, you must create persecution, real or imagined.

If someone wanted to create hatred for Jews then the moaning by journalists identifying as Jewish about their hurt feelings over people protesting a genocide or the televising and gloating over this genocide would be the way to do it.

This is exactly what they’re doing.

The Zionists don’t want Jewishness to fade away because no one cares. They want people brought up to be told that they are separate and different, descended from a particular line (of the Europeans who colonised and slaughtered indigenous, non-White people). They want this ethnicity to be hated the world over to maintain this identity as well as to reinforce the need for a Jewish state where these (White) people will be safe.

By all means express your religion and marry who you like but the Jewish/faith school/sticking together model, not just Zionist nor in Israel, is part of the neocolonial, land owning, family wealth, rentier, finance capitalist 1% old world, not part of the socialist, multipolar, pluralist, innovative, 99% new world.
