Is Anti-Zionism to be Considered Anti-Semitism?

Anti-semitism is the hate of Jews for being Jews.

Being Jewish includes the belief that the Land of Israel is the covenanted homeland of the Jewish nation.

It is the land where the nation, as a federation of the Twelve Tribes, settled in under the leadership of Joshua after Moshe brought the Israelites out of Egypt back into the land of the Forefathers.

It is the land in which the Monarchy ruled.

It is the land which first withstood and then was defeated when the Assyrian Empire invaded.

It is the land which revolted against the Greek-Selecuid occupiers.

The land that stood up to the Roman occupiers.

The land in which the entire ancient religious and cultural heritage of the Jewish People, in its unique Hebrew language, was formulated and fashioned.

The land to which Jews constantly and continually returned over the 18 centuries of foreign rule including the Byzantines, the Persians, the Muslim Arabs, the Crusaders, the Mamlukes, Ottomans, British and Jordanians and the loss of political indendence.

It is the land where the Two Temples stood and served as sacred sites of worship.

It is the land in which special commandments can be exclusively fulfilled and no where else.

It is the land that, ever since Talmudic times of the second Babylonian exile, Jews  felt obligated to support those living in it, especially the scholars, sending charity funds from across 70 countries of the Diaspora.

It is the land towards which Jews pray, no matter wher they may be - north, south, east, west.

It is the land mentioned in our daily prayers, our Shabbat and Festival prayers, in the Passover Haggada, Tisha B'Av elegies and more.

Anyone who seeks to sever the connection between Jews and the Land of Israel, anyone who claims there is no Torah-based directive to return to it and reside in it and make it bloom, who declares him or herself an anti-Zionist, is being anti-Jewish.

They may love Jews but to dislike and disregard the Land of Israel, ideologically, economcially, politically or security-wise, to reject the right of the Jews to establish a state in their historic homeland, is being anti-semitic.

Moral Collapse on Air: Why Antonia Hylton Chose the Wrong Voices: When Criticism Loses Credibility: The Tucker Carlson–Candace Owens Problem.

On April 7, 2026, during MS Now, anchor Antonia Hylton opened the program by invoking Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens as moral reference points in a critique of Donald Trump. That framing is not just questionable—it is profoundly irresponsible.

Both figures carry well-documented records of amplifying or legitimizing extremist narratives that fundamentally undermine any claim to moral authority.

Candace Owens has publicly trivialized the atrocities of the Holocaust, dismissing Josef Mengele’s medical experiments at Auschwitz as “bizarre propaganda.” This is not a minor controversy or a misstatement—it is Holocaust minimization, a form of historical distortion that erodes the factual basis of one of history’s most documented genocides.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson has repeatedly elevated figures aligned with neo-Nazi and white nationalist ideologies. He has praised Darryl Cooper—who reframes Nazi concentration camps as logistical failures rather than instruments of deliberate genocide and casts Winston Churchill as the central villain of World War II—as a major intellectual voice. Carlson has also platformed Nick Fuentes, a figure widely known for explicit antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and admiration for Hitler, in a lengthy and notably uncritical interview.

To cite either of these individuals as moral exemplars—implicitly or explicitly—is to collapse the distinction between legitimate political critique and the normalization of extremist revisionism. It signals a breakdown in editorial judgment, where notoriety is mistaken for credibility and provocation for principle.

Criticism of Trump may be warranted. But anchoring that criticism in voices that have trafficked in historical distortion and extremist sympathy doesn’t strengthen the argument—it corrodes it.

So what? It does not make Jews superhuman or more entitled to a piece of land than any other of those that lived there at the same time as Jewish ancestors. Your rhetoric is exactly the same as German nazis.

YMedad said...

Dear Anon.: it does not make us less moral or just than nay other national group, espoecially those hating Jews and trying to kill them. As for Nazis, grow up. No Jew attacked Germans, blew up their supermarkets, firebombed their churches, etc. before Hitler & his Nazis.

Mit deutschem Gruß für Palästina - DER SPIEGEL.

With German greetings to Palestine.
December 19, 1947 • from DER SPIEGEL 51/1947.


Kaukji is the predestined commander-in-chief of a volunteer army for Palestine. Together with the Grand Mufti, whose confidant and best friend he is, he was one of the ringleaders of the bloody Palestinian Arab uprising against Jewish immigration in 1936-39. He was severely wounded at that time and fled Palestine. During the war, he met with the Grand Mufti, who had also gone on a journey, in Germany. He has not forgotten what he found so appealing back then: his volunteers are sworn in with the "German salute" under the green flag of the Pr_phet.

Aren't there some Orthodox Jews who believe it is not time for Jews to have Israel, who believe it's some kind of blasphemy according to the scriptures to take the land now? Can you explain their position please?

True, the Zioniara only bombed the British. Why MI6 was established.

YMedad said...

Yes. Google Neturei Karta. Satmar.

Thank you. In this age, some Jews are the only ones making the claim that their faith entitles them to a piece of land. The US state department saw that as something to base an operation on, nothing more, nothing less.

YMedad said...

Have you read the League of Nations decision of July 1922 made by 50+ countries, all not Jewish? "Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country; and

Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;"

The League of Nations decision is in a very ironic way the victory of nazis, Jews are to be purged from other nations and put in one place where they don't bother no one. It's very racist and I'm sure something A. Hilfer would have approved.

YMedad said...

Nazis didn't exist then. It's called repatriation. Or restoration. 2000 years old.

Repatriating 2000 years back in history is a strech. What about all the Jews who had ancestors converted to the religion in Turkey, Africa, East Europe?

YMedad said...

I presume you are not fully acquainted with Jewish history. There was not a century between 135 -1880 in which Jews did not immigrate back, that is, repatriate, to the Land of Israel, under Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamluks, Ottomans, what not. They resided in the country, created literature, farmed, developed. Don't believe me, Google Search it. There's even a Wikipedia entry: History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel

Eichmann's Trainees.
The Canadian Jewish Chronicle · ‎23 June 1961. p.10
https://books.google.com/books?id=q-9OAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA6
[...]
Arab Defence of Eichmann.

There are only a few countries in which the defence of Eichmann and of his deeds has become a moral and political duty. Blind hatred of Israel and idle dreams of its destruction are behind this defence of his diabolic crimes. It is most painful and depressing to thumb through the pages of the Arab press these days and to find tones on which even “Der Stuermer” could have prided itself. But perhaps this should not surprise us. It is well-known that Arab nationalism already in the ’30s of the present century rejected the proposals of the Jewish National Movement to “live and let live”. As opposed to Zionism that believed there is living space and room enough in the Middle East for a Jewish national revival side by side with an Arab national revival, Arab nationalism revealed traits of religious intolerance and chauvinism, and its leaders did not hide their dreams of “slaughtering the Jews and throwing them into the sea”. ...Mufti ..had similar plans in regard to the Jews of Palestine, and he thought he would be able to implement them after the victory of the Nazi-Fascist “Axis”. ...the words of solidarity and identification expressed by the Arab press with one of the leading Nazi criminals once more show to what abyss Arab nationalism has fallen and what the spirit that directs it.

We shall quote a few examples from this press. According to the editor of the Egyptian weekly “Akhir Sa’a” (15.3.61) all talk about the holocaust of European Jewry is pure American “bluff[sic]”. This is what Mr. Mohamed al-Tabii writes:

“The huge historical lie being circulated by the American press, which alleges that the Nazis exterminated six million European Jews. On the basis of this charge, this lie, Israel is about to try the Nazi Adolf Eichmann.”

We find another note in the Jordanian ("Palestinian") newspaper “Al-Difaa” of April 13. There is no disputing of figures here. Eichmann had “purged” Europe and in the opinion of the Arab writer, this is his greatest merit.

“But why should we try Eichmann for his share in purging Europe from a plague called the Jews and, refrain from trying Truman for the crime of killing 500,000 Japanese...”

**Remaining Six Millions will be Liquidated**
Nor is this all. Only a few hundred metres away from the hall where this shocking evidence is being given, an open letter to Eichmann was printed in “The Jerusalem Times” appearing in the Old City of Jerusalem, on April 24, 1961. In this letter we read:

“What a pity, Eichmann, that you allowed those swine[sic] to arrest you... Don’t worry, Eichmann, it will in the end fall on their heads. You are accused of decimating six millions of this breed. Whether this is correct or not, it is not our object to debate this issue; but what we would like to say is... that this trial will one day culminate in the liquidation of the remaining six million, to avenge your blood...”

Another Arab Nazi, Abu al Nadin, writes inter alia, in the Syrian paper “Al Akhbar” of March 8, 1961:

"It is a great honour[sic] for Eichmann that he is the greatest blood purger[sic] that ever arose in humanity: I should very much like to be in Eichmann's shoes, even if he is subject to capital punishment or to the electric chair... Allah has preserved us alive in order to exterminate the Jews and the Zionists. We shall purge the Holy Land from this most detestable[sic] nation."

Arab Nazism imagines that it will be given an opportunity of one day completing the work of Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Heydrich and Eichmann. But the very fact that -the arm of Israel has overtaken one of the greatest enemies of the Jewish people and of humanity, and has brought him over from his distant hiding place to trial in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, must serve as a reminder and a warning that the Jewish people are no e longer defenceless; that they now I have some one to stand up for their rights.

SIRHAN: HITLER ADMIRER

The Sunday Sun. Jun 11, 1968
[https://books.google.com/books?id=k5ZlAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA13]

"Sirhan Fits Classic Image of Unbalanced Assassin."
London Sunday Times.

There was always a streak of latent fanaticism in Sirhan — specifically, a certain single-mindedness unusual in a child. He often said he admired Hitler.
His father quotes him as saying more than once: "Hitler was a big man, a great man [sic], and he had good ideas. In the end he was wrong because he did terrible harm to his country. But he was wrong only because his policies failed."

Hate propaganda and terrorism do not respect or recognize boundaries and they can travel fast and far in this time of swift communication.

We recall the frightening rise of anti-Semitism in America and in other lands—including the Arab countries—in the 1930’s, when the noxious Nazi poison began to spread across frontiers and around the world.
(Sirhan’s father last week recalled that his son often said that he admired Hitler.)

SIRHAN: HITLER ADMIRER Part II:

Ayton, M. (2022). The Kennedy Assassinations: JFK and Bobby Kennedy—Debunking The Conspiracy Theories. United Kingdom: Frontline Books. Pt.2
[https://books.google.com/books?id=DWiIEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT235]

As a young adult, Sirhan sought meaning by embracing anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism and Palestinian nationalism. Sirhan's parents taught him the Jews were 'evil', 'stole their home' and they also taught him to hate, despise and fear Jews. As a part-time gardener Sirhan came to hate the Jews whose gardens he tended...

Walter Crowe, who had known Sirhan from the time they were teenagers, said Sirhan was virulently anti-Semitic and also espoused a belief in violent action as a political tool. Crowe said Mary Sirhan propagated these views to Sirhan.

Crowe believed al-Fatah's terrorist acts were justified and that Palestinian terrorists had gained the respect of the Arab world. He said Sirhan spoke of 'total commitment' to the Palestinian cause and took a left-wing position on issues such as racism and the Vietnam War. However, Crowe said, Sirhan was a `reactionary' when it came to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Crowe believed that Sirhan saw himself as a 'committed revolutionary' willing to undertake 'revolutionary action'. Sirhan was for `violence whenever, as long as it's needed'. Later Crowe came to feel guilty about the part he may have played in putting ideas of terrorist acts into Sirhan's head and reinforcing Sirhan's resolve to commit a violent political act.
Lou Shelby was Adel's boss and the owner of the Fez Club in Hollywood. He knew the Sirhan family intimately and described Sirhan as 'intensely nationalistic with regard to his Arab identity'. According to Shelby:

“We had a really big argument on Middle East politics . . . we switched back and forth between Arabic and English. Sirhan’s outlook was completely Arab nationalist – the Arabs were in the right and had made no mistakes. I tried to reason with him and to point out that one could be in the right but still make mistakes. But he was adamant. According to him, America was to blame for the Arabs’ misfortunes – because of the power of Zionism in this country. The only Arab leader he really admired was Nasser and he thought Nasser’s policies were right. The Arabs had to build themselves up and fight Israel – that was the only way.”

John and Patricia Strathmann had been ‘good friends’ with Sirhan since high school. According to John, Sirhan was an admirer of Hitler, especially his treatment of the Jews, and was impressed with Hitler’s 'Mein Kampf' and the Nazi leader’s ‘hypnotic control over people’. John also said Sirhan became ‘intense’ and ‘mad’ about the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War just a year earlier. Sirhan’s friend Elsie Boyko said Sirhan had always been fervent and emotional whenever he discussed the Arab-Israeli conflict and was critical of US foreign policy regarding Israel.

Sirhan discussed politics, religion and philosophy with his boss, John Weidner, a committed Christian. Weidner was honoured by Israel for his heroism in saving more than 1,000 people from the Nazis. Sirhan worked for Weidner from September 1967 to March 1968. It was Sirhan’s touchiness, arrogance, feelings of inadequacy and inferiority, and resentment of authority that caused friction between employer and employee. Weidner described Sirhan as ‘a hot-tempered man’ with ‘fantasies’. ‘He had strong patriotic feelings for his country [Palestine]’, Weidner recalled.
