Zionism must die
There is no place for Zionism in human society. It must die.
Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi. He shot three bullets through the supposed Mahatma’s chest and killed him barely five months after India’s independence from the British rule. Godse wasn't a lone operator. He was part of a larger conspiracy hatched by 12 members of a Hindu supremacist organisation called Hindu Mahasabha. Nine were put on trial, two, including Godse, were hanged.
Hindu Mahasabha was founded in 1915 by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, an extremist Hindu and the founder of Hindutva, the Hindu supremacist ideology that is ruling the roost in Indian politics currently. Savarkar was part of the group of nine who were tried for Gandhi's assassination, but he escaped conviction for lack of evidence. Godse idolised Savarkar.
Hindu Mahasabha, however, wasn't the only extremist organisation Godse was part of. He was also a card-carrying member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), another Hindu supremacist organisation — which was founded ten years after Hindu Mahasabha, in 1925 — and remained its member until his death. Despite Godse’s primary association with Hindu Mahasabha, his affiliation with the RSS massively tainted the latter. (During the court proceedings the RSS falsely argued that Godse had left the organisation sometime in 1946, but it didn’t fool anyone.) The RSS, a much larger organisation than the Hindu Mahasabha, was banned by the Indian government in the immediate aftermath of Gandhi’s killing.
It would have consequences for the RSS.
The RSS cadre back then wore black pants over a white shirt and a black cap in their gatherings and functions. One of the things the RSS cadres did (and still do) was to go among the masses and talk about their version of Hinduism and enroll people into the RSS.
When Gandhi was killed, the popular backlash against the RSS was so strong that its rank and file went into hiding. For the Indian masses, Gandhi was India. To kill him was an unforgivable sin. The story goes that at the mere sight of the RSS cadres in their distinct uniform, people would start shouting: “Look, the killers of Gandhi.” They would be beaten and chased away. The RSS foot soldiers had to do something if they were to continue their mission. They started approaching people without their customary black caps to avoid being shooed away due to the “Gandhi-killer” stain that tainted the RSS.
For the Indian masses, the Hindutva ideology and its representatives became persona non grata due to the cardinal sin of Gandhi’s killing. They couldn’t be tolerated.
Zionism, another religion-inspired ideology, has been wreaking havoc of unimaginable proportions in Palestine for over eight months running. The followers of that ideology have killed over 40,000 people, a vast majority of them defenceless women and children; some days old, some who had just started crawling, others who had begun walking, some whose precious talents had started to become evident. Some while they were still fetuses in their mother’s wombs.
The Zionists haven’t spared anyone. They have beheaded babies. They have skinned their parents. They have mutilated their bodies. They have stolen their organs. They have forced children into starvation-induced deaths. They have forced children into eating grass and animal feed to survive. They have engineered famine, leading to the deaths of toddlers and children due to a lack of any means of nutrition. And they have filmed all — or most — of this and proudly shared their depravity with the whole world.
They don’t feel ashamed. They have seemingly taken to stand-up at international forums. They feel proud of their unhinged barbarism. They have done this while the world court has told them to stop; while students across the world have risen in anger demanding they stop; while humanitarian agencies have told them they have gone too far; while their co-religionists have screamed not in their name. But to no avail.
It’s an ideology so vile that it carpet bombs a tent city to get its nemesis to “agree to a deal that would bring about a ceasefire and hostage release deal” but reneges on the said deal, and keeps carpet bombing the tent city anyway.
To emphasise: they have killed hundreds of people, who have been displaced multiple times in a matter of months and left dwelling in tents, as a pressure tactic.
This ideology abuses those it abducts with such inhumanity that it unleashes dogs on them, feeds them through straws, ties them so hard that they lose limbs; and if they survive, they look nothing like their pre-abduction selves.
It is an ideology so unhinged and entitled that it demands its biggest benefactor to rein in its protesting students, unleashes violence on them, warns its leadership against even temporarily halting arms shipment, and threatens judges of international courts to be prepared for consequences if they dare prosecute war criminals for their war crimes.
More gallingly, none of this barbarity is new. The Zionists have been wreaking havoc on helpless Palestinians for over a hundred years. The only thing that has changed is the increased spotlight on their barbarity and the brazenness of their atrocities.
The followers of this evil ideology have the audacity to declare publicly that they are Zionists, as if it is an acceptable belief system, as if it has an iota of decency worth boasting about, as if it is perfectly reasonable thing to call oneself a Nazi or worse.
After what they have wrought in Palestine for eight months running (to say nothing of the past hundred years or so), if every single Zionist isn't shamed into disavowing his shameful, racist, inhuman, genocidal ideology, it will be a massive indictment of where we are as a human race, revealing our own lack of humanity after being subjected to years of propaganda that has made nonsensical, inconsequential things more dear to us than human lives.
If the killers of Gandhi couldn’t get an audience, and in their bid for acceptability were forced to disclaim their association with the hateful ideology that killed him, how can we tolerate a spiel — hell, even a word — from a Zionist the next time he opens his vile mouth after the carnage his despicable belief system has unleashed in Gaza?
We cannot.
Every Zionist must be made persona non grata like the killers of Gandhi and the Nazis of yore. Those perpetuating these crimes need to be hunted down and made to pay for their crimes. Others espousing belief in this hateful ideology must be deradicalised. Unlike the cases of Hindutva and Nazi thugs, who never really went away and are back rearing their ugly heads, let there be no half measures when dealing with the Zionists. Every sighting of Zionists must lead to people pointing at them and saying, “Look, the killers of Gaza.”
There can be be no way forward without it.
There is no place for Zionism in human society. It must die.
If you like my articles, help me write more of them by buying me a coffee. Thank you.
Well said in this article. Zionism is yet another manifestation of fascism. And is now allied with other strains of fascism present in the western colonial societies.
Thats why they are protecting it - they too are operating fascism, but theirs was thinly veiled. Now it’s wide open. They have all together thrown off the mask.
The rest of humanity must resists. High-tech mass murder and colonial subjugation is regression for humanity not progress.
All Human life is Sacred. Whatever your belief is, no one, or single entity, has the right to kill it because they think different, or worship different. That difference is the Truth that sets the Human Race Free. Diversity is the magic that makes Mother Earth the most beautiful pearl in the darkness of Space. Let us stop abusing our Mother, and ourselves. Those that believe in the vile ideology of Zionism are the true Children of Darkness, and must be treated accordingly. Palestine Must Be Free.
