Zionism Quotes

“Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back. (#92 ff.)”

“Actually—and this was where I began to feel seriously uncomfortable—some such divine claim underlay not just 'the occupation' but the whole idea of a separate state for Jews in Palestine. Take away the divine warrant for the Holy Land and where were you, and what were you? Just another land-thief like the Turks or the British, except that in this case you wanted the land without the people. And the original Zionist slogan—'a land without a people for a people without a land'—disclosed its own negation when I saw the densely populated Arab towns dwelling sullenly under Jewish tutelage. You want irony? How about Jews becoming colonizers at just the moment when other Europeans had given up on the idea?”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“People who call themselves supporters of Israel are actually supporters of its moral degeneration and ultimate destruction.”
― Noam Chomsky

“If every single Jew born anywhere in the world has the right to become an Israeli citizen, then all the Palestinians who were chucked out of Palestine by the Zionist Government should have the same right, very simple.”
― Tariq Ali

“I regard anti-Semitism as ineradicable and as one element of the toxin with which religion has infected us. Perhaps partly for this reason, I have never been able to see Zionism as a cure for it. American and British and French Jews have told me with perfect sincerity that they are always prepared for the day when 'it happens again' and the Jew-baiters take over. (And I don't pretend not to know what they are talking about: I have actually seen the rabid phenomenon at work in modern and sunny Argentina and am unable to forget it.) So then, they seem to think, they will take refuge in the Law of Return, and in Haifa, or for all I know in Hebron. Never mind for now that if all of world Jewry did settle in Palestine, this would actually necessitate further Israeli expansion, expulsion, and colonization, and that their departure under these apocalyptic conditions would leave the new brownshirts and blackshirts in possession of the French and British and American nuclear arsenals. This is ghetto thinking, hardly even fractionally updated to take into account what has changed. The important but delayed realization will have to come: Israeli Jews are a part of the diaspora, not a group that has escaped from it. Why else does Israel daily beseech the often-flourishing Jews of other lands, urging them to help the most endangered Jews of all: the ones who rule Palestine by force of arms? Why else, having supposedly escaped from the need to rely on Gentile goodwill, has Israel come to depend more and more upon it? On this reckoning, Zionism must constitute one of the greatest potential non sequiturs in human history.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attacks on the twin towers and the pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq. These events swung American public opinion in our favor”
― Benjamin Netanyahu

“One of my first reservations about Zionism was and is that, semiconsciously at least, it grants the anti-Semite's first premise about the abnormality of the Jew.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“We will consider every hand who will try to take our weapons, as an Israeli hand.”
― Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Voice of Hezbollah: The Statements of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

“If you want to judge if a party is a Lebanese enough, let me say we take up arms and fight against the occupation of our land, is that Lebanese enough?”
― Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Voice of Hezbollah: The Statements of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

“Because for me, while Israel is a place, it has also always been a warning. A warning about the perils of building identity based on a re-traumatization rather than confronting our collective grief; about the dangers of building a group identity around insiders and outsiders; about what happens when once vibrant debate gives way to fiercely policed speech.”
― Naomi Klein, Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World

“How to be human despite being white
(Sonnet 2890)

How to be human despite being white?
Just don't be a christian nationalist,
be jesus-like, not a christ salesman.

How to be human despite being british?
Don't be a monarchist or aristocrat.

How to be human while being a jew?
Simple, just don't be a zionist.

How to be human while being hindu?
Simple, don't be an islamophobe.

How to be human while being an atheist?
Have some regard for human frailty.

Beware of white people bearing gifts,
beware of white people's religion,
as well as white people's rationalism,
because the former initiates erasure,
while the latter inflates ego.

And if you're white, then first and foremost
betray your bloodline, betray your pilgrims,
your founders, your forefathers, only then
you might one day become human,
despite your historic handicap of whiteness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Shortcircuit (Sonnet 2900)

Bombs can look beautiful or ugly,
depending on which side you're looking from,
from the sky or from the ground.

Books can look dangerous or precious,
depending on which side you're looking from,
from office or from the streets.

Truth is a useless term,
nazis call persecution truth,
maga calls fanaticism truth,
zionists call genocide truth.

In English we call it Israel,
in Naskarian we call it Sanitarium.

In English we call it Britannia,
in Naskarian we call it Malaria.

In English we call it America,
in Naskarian we call it Terrorism.”

“Unzionized (Sonnet 2948)

You cannot be civilized until you're decolonized,
you cannot be cultured until you're unamericanized,

you cannot be educated until you're de-europeanized,
you cannot be human until you're unwhitewashed.

Don't leave the sanitarium till you no longer
confuse the voices in your head as divine decree,
and the blood in your veins as god's own bloodline.

Don't leave therapy until you're unbritannized,
don't quit rehab until you're denazified,
don't go off the meds until you're unzionized.”

“The Naskar I Keep Tamed (Sonnet 2949)

There are many things I'm tempted to write,
such as, all oligarchic kids must be
legally mandated to be sterilized at birth -

one of the first duties of every
new government of the global south is
to mount a rescue operation to heist their
rightful relics from the british museum -

all faces of mount rushmore must be bombed to cinders,
every white person must sit for a human rights exam
when they turn 18, before they're allowed to vote -

every self-confirmed zionist must be mandated
to seek psychiatric treatment, or face house-arrest -

yet my conscience takes over
before my rage becomes canon,
but just imagine, what would happen
to the planet's pointless minority of
white fanatics, if every persecuted,
occupied, dehumanized, exploited,
appropriated, abducted, demoralized
community lost their conscience!”

“Pretend Society (Sonnet 2982)

AI slop is nothing new,
world is full of stuff that's pretend -
churches are pretend divinity,
courts are pretend justice,
governments are pretend democracy,
military is pretend peace -

zionism is pretend promise,
maga is pretend liberty,
hindutva is pretend dharma,
buckingham is pretend nobility.

For a dictatorship to work
you need just one benevolent dictator,
but for a democracy to work
you need millions of responsible citizens -

a democracy fails when people demand democracy
while shirking the responsibilities of a democracy;
the first requirements of a civilized society
are a prejudice-free mind, hatefree heart,
and a complacency-free spine.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Zionism, as a word, was invented less than a century ago. But when Chana fell in love with Zion at the age of seventeen, the idea was already three thousand years old.”
― Peter Hay, Ordinary Heroes: The Life and Death of Chana Szenes, Israel's National Heroine

“…because of racial or religious bigotry, conspiratorialists will take small fragments of legitimate evidence and expand them into a conclusion that will support their particular prejudice, i.e., the conspiracy is totally “Jewish,” “Catholic,” or “Masonic”. These people do not help to expose the conspiracy, but, sadly play into the hands of those who want the public to believe that all conspiratorialists are screwballs.”
― Gary Allen, None Dare Call It Conspiracy

“Earthright Song

[Verse 1]
Humanity comes from Africa,
no crown owns a single grain.
If you are not indigenous,
you are an immigrant.

The soil is older than every border,
older than flags and state decree.
Earth is property of no brute empire,
nor promised prize of manifest atrocity.

[Pre-Chorus]
No badge can baptize brutality,
no holy water can bleach blood stains -
the land remembers the salt of tears
of every people ever slain.

[Chorus]
Awake, Arise, Adopt the World -
tolerate no intolerance, no inequality.
Naskar ignites, all humans unite -
our world is our responsibility.

Awake, Arise, Adopt the World -
reason is braver than conspiracy.
From the river to the galaxy,
kindness is braver than cruelty.

[Verse 2]
Women are indigenous to their bodies,
Palestinians are native to their home.
Privilege cannot buy righteousness,
nor can blind faith redraw chromosome.

Happiness is not an imperial gift,
Freedom is not a colonial property.
Joy is not a nationalist bequest,
Earth is not a zionist charity.

When erasure becomes religion,
mutiny becomes our right.
Stars that burn for others,
wither in body, but live in light.

[Pre-Chorus]
Divide and rule, marks the animal,
unite and integrate, makes humankind.
We are stardust come alive -
unbent, unflinching, borderless mind.

[Chorus]
Awake, Arise, Adopt the World -
tolerate no dogma as divinity.
Naskar ignites, and borders collapse -
our world is our responsibility.

Awake, Arise, Adopt the World -
hope blooms where a human stands.
Till all of us are free, none of us are free -
we lift the globe with naked hands.

[Bridge]
From Palestine to Kashmir to America,
every land shall be humanized,
not by bullets and atom bombs,
but by atomic people against the lies.

Acts of terror by governments
are still terror all the same,
genocide wrapped in diplomacy
is just murder by another name.

[Final Chorus]
Awake, Arise, Adopt the World -
tolerate no hate, no inhumanity.
Naskar calls to the champions of choice,
service of humanity is practical divinity.

Till all of us are free,
none of us are free -
heart, brain and backbone,
are the real holy trinity.

[Outro]
Human is the bridge,
and bridge is the truth.
Nobody is undocumented,
on a planet built on loot.”

“Naskar DSM of Earth Disorders (Sonnet 3134)

Racism is a developmental disorder,
Colonialism is an eating disorder,
Nationalism is paranoid schizophrenia.

Misogyny is a vertebral dysfunction,
Transphobia is oxygen deficiency,
White privilege is narcissistic personality disorder.

Islamophobia is a cardiac disorder,
Zionism is a brain disorder.
I prescribe, don't isolate them,
make it unbearably friendly for them
to even go grocery shopping -
smile, offer them a flower,
and a get well card.”

“In a world built on exploitation it is impossible to be human without being political - only the super rich apes, and farm animals can afford to stay neutral, in fact, if the livestock ever became political, the whole world would have to become vegetarian.

So let's be political full steam ahead, let's be human for a change, not just goodlooking monkeys, or good little livestock: Zionism is racism - Colonialism is cannibalism - Nationalism is terrorism.”

“This World is A Lie (Sonnet 3136/Song)

This world is a lie on top 'a lie on top 'a lie, oh!
All history is made up of a bunch of fake heroes.
Stripped homes 'n stole gold 'n burnt books, no scruples!
Years went by, tears ran dry, no remorse, no marrow.

Hate sold as holy, and fear sold as tradition.
Church built on erasure, by cannibals on a "mission".
Reich after reich after reich dressed as zion,
Trees are all empty for monkeys are in government.

Zion and zionism, not one, but different.
One thing to be Christlike 'n another to be Christian.
To each other we're promise, to each other we're medicine;
Shelter to each other, we're pilgrims on an island.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşkoholic: Portrait of A Human
