"Is Zionism today the real enemy of the Jews?
Yes." In an article published in the "International Herald Tribune" on Friday, February 4, 2005, Avi Shlaim, a British Academy Research Professor at St. Antony's College, Oxford, England reiterates the message our organization, True Torah Jews, has been advancing for some time: that Zionism promotes anti-Semitism and represents a threat to Jews worldwide. The article recognizes "...it is these settlers [zionists] who also endanger the safety and well-being of Jews everywhere." and in its conclusion states: "This perception of Israel is a major factor in the recent resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe and the rest of the world. In this sense, Zionism today is the real enemy of the Jews. [emphasis ours] It is a tragedy that a state that was built as a haven for the Jewish people after the Holocaust is now one of the least safe places on earth for Jews to live in." This article can be read in its entirety at the International Herald Tribune Website. While we don't agree entirely with Professor Shlaim, a supporter of Zionism, we do applaud the "International Herald Tribune" and Professor Shlaim for his courage in acknowledging, even as a Zionist, the real threat of Zionism to Jews worldwide. |
