political Zionism in reaction to European anti-Semitism, French and German fascism, and Nazi extermination, was understandable in an era of rising nationalisms, but its profoundly destabilizing effect in the Middle East continues with serious implications for the rest of humanity today.
of Jewish longing, which sustained the hope of a return to their homeland throughout the difficult centuries after their dispersion, became poisoned during the later 19th century by the rising nationalisms of Europe (ethnic nationalisms of Eastern Europe), so that today Zionism has sadly become a political movement or a commitment blindly perpetrating injustice against others in competition for resources.

TERRORISM
November 2: British Balfour Declaration promised support for –
"the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, ...it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine." |

is constructed
CLAUDE KLEIN, Director of the Institute of Comparative Law of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, writes –
"If the Jewish people are easily the most numerous in the State of Israel, by the same token, one can still say that the entire population of the State of Israel is not Jewish, as the country has a sizeable non-Jewish minority, mainly Arab and Druze. The question which must be asked is to what extent the existence of a Law of Return which favours the immigration of one part of the population (defined by its religious and ethnic adherence), cannot be regarded as discriminatory", and concludes that because it is not specifically directed against non-Jews it is therefore not discriminatory. |

Yitzhak Shapira of Yitzhar
Seminary Dean Rabbi YITZHAK SHAPIRA, and Rabbi YOSSI ELITZUR of the Od Yosef Hai yeshiva in the Yitzhar Jewish settlement near Nablus, West Bank, Palestine, co-author a 230 page book Torat ha-Melech (The King’s Teaching) on the killing of non-Jews. The book is supported in foreword by rabbis Yitzhak Ginsburg, Dov Lior and Yaakov Yosef.
| Sample Quotes of its evil teachings: | |
| • | "only a Jew who kills a Jew violates the commandment “Thou Shalt Not Murder.” |
| • | “In religious law, we have found that non-Jews are generally suspected of shedding Jewish blood, and in war, this suspicion becomes a great deal stronger. One must consider killing even babies, who have not violated the seven Noahide laws, because of the future danger that will be caused if they are allowed to grow up to be as wicked as their parents.” |
| • | "There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults.” |
| • | “If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments – because we care about the commandments – there is nothing wrong with the murder.” |
This book justifying violence has become a best seller in Israel and was sold out within hours of going on sale.
(The Jewish fascist yeshiva of Yitzhar is supported, among other, by US tax-deductible dollars).
Several Jewish groups objected, as did senior Rabbis, including the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism, which petitioned the High Court to question why there have been no investigation for racial incitement. But then...

of innocents.
• In December 2015, the Jerusalem High Court rules that this book Torat Ha- Melech justifying the murder of non-Jews will not have to face charges of inciting violence because it is simply a "religious study".
So, the Supreme Court of Israel appears to be as racist as its government!
April: In Yitzhar, West Bank, Palestine – Jewish seminary (yeshiva) students and residents stone Israeli soldiers, injuring three, for trying to to prevent them entering a military restricted area.

Residents have launched numerous attacks on Palestinians, including an arson attack on a mosque in December 2009.
