Persuading Jews Worldwide to Convert to Zionism

Lawfare as used by the Zionist organization The
Lawfare Project and others is meant to persuade every Jew in the world (and not
just Israeli Jews) that his or her Jewish identity, welfare and security are
inextricably related to the continued suppression of justice, equality and
freedom of Palestinian Arabs or, in other words, to the Apartheid Zionist Jewish state.
Lawfare is a tool used by Zionist
organizations to suppress pro-Palestine activity by conflating anti-Semitism
(in its sense of “anti-Jewish animus”) with anti-Zionism, the ideology that
perpetuates Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights. A case in
point is the
lawsuit against San Francisco State University
(SFSU) currently being heard in a U.S. federal court brought by the right-wing
Zionist organization The Lawfare Project, which relies on the complete
conflation of anti-Jewish animus with criticism of Israel’s denial of
Palestinian rights to assert that SFSU violated the constitutional and civil
rights of Jewish students and community members. The true intent of the lawsuit
is clear: to ensure that advocates for Palestinian rights are punished for
standing up for human rights and justice for Palestinians, who have been
dispossessed, occupied, and deprived of basic human rights for 70 years.
What The Lawfare Project is doing is
simply consolidating the final stage “in the evolutionary method of Zionist
policy” in Palestine as described in a long letter (written by Chaim Arlosoroff in 1932) addressed to Chaim Weizmann (an early Zionist born
in Belarus) that appeared in the October 1948 Jewish Frontier under the title “Reflections on Zionist Policy”:
… The next “stage” will be attained
when the relationship of real forces will be such as to preclude any
possibility of the establishment of an Arab state in Palestine, i.e., when the
Jews will acquire such additional strength as will automatically block the road
for Arab domination. This will be followed by another “ stage” during which the
Arabs will be unable to frustrate the constant growth of the Jewish community
through … immigration, colonization and the maintenance of peace and order in
the country…
The farcical decades-long “Peace
Process” notwithstanding, the Zionist movement has so far succeeded in
precluding the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state in any part of
Palestine, claiming all of it for Jews (the “Hebrew Nation”)
worldwide. Having established Israel through the ethnic cleansing of non-Jewish Palestinian Arabs
seventy years ago, and occupied the rest of the Palestinian territory a
mere nineteen years later, the Zionist movement is today all out to consolidate
and build on its achievement using, not only the economic, military and
political strength of Israel itself (which is already considerable),
but also the worldwide support of Jews (while also cultivating the support of American evangelist Christians).
Whereas the kind of brainwashing in
which The Lawfare Project is engaged is standard fare in many synagogues and
has been working, with very few exceptions, for decades, recent polls indicate that young Jews no longer
buy what Israel packages and sells to them. Predictably, that is only spurring
Brand Israel to redouble its efforts:
Brand Israel says that ‘Instead of stating dry facts, professionals
must highlight Israel’s decency, morality and the diversity of the Israeli
society in general’. This is an act of self-deception. Israel is a
society where a plurality of Jews support the physical expulsion of Israel’s
Palestinians and where ‘Death to the Arabs’ is the favourite chant of the
Right.
