Someone on an Instagram thread asked me "I'm Jewish, can you explain to me what a Zionist is?" Obviously this is a polarized and charged worldwide conversation right now, which deserves and needs higher thought in order to resolve. My response:
—
The answer to the question, "what is zionism?" isn't as straightforward as people would like, and there are of course multiple definitions. In my view it was originally about the right to an ethnic homeland. Understandble. But in application, when some extremists rank that right *above* basic, universal rights for all mankind — and/or they pretend that "right" means that only one ethic group should populate an obviously-diverse region — then its application gravitates toward nazism and genocide. This deviation really can only happen when jews are either non-practicing, or are practicing dark arts which can unfortunately involve sacrifice of sentient beings. The jewish dark side is observable in the babylonian talmud, which if any person with common sense actually reads, is repugnant to natural law and common sense values. Hence, you have a situation where non-practicing (or dark-practicing) jews are becoming caught up in a kind of nazism themselves — thinking themselves as a "master race", and that everyone else deserves a life of servitude, if at all — just as how a couple of people have exemplified [through their words] on the thread here. This is an example of getting lost in identity, one of the great challenges of mankind, we all experience it in some degree or other.
So, the root of zionism can be seen as common-sensical, but because of a value-ranking system which is out of alignment with natural law, many see its application as having become genocidal and satanic. God — our one Source — has a system of natural law, and part of it is that all of mankind has equal right to life. This is because everyone has/is a soul, a divine spark part of the same meta-being, a multitudinous expression of the One. Jewish mystics on the light side, and still aligned with natural law, know this. And the great contrast and challenge inherent in this whole situation over eons, is a one of the reasons why the life and teachings of Yeshua/Jesus was and is so timely and potent. Not from a religious view, here, but from a demonstration of values and love aligned with natural law; values to which we are each called in the core of our soul.
