Israeli Settlers: the Violence and Crimes of Fascist Thugs

By David Starr

In the Old Testament of the Bible, the Israelites were ordered by their god to slaughter neighboring tribes because the latter believed in a different religion. To this day, that behavior still exists among Zionists, who led a brutal conflict in 1948 against Palestinians who already lived in what was called Palestine. There was mass killing and forced relocation.

Over the decades Israel gradually expanded further into Palestine, stealing land and operating what can be called an apartheid nation, i.e., Israel itself. 

Israeli settlers played a major role in that expansion, and they are continuing with this objective in a not surprising series of incidents characterized by violence and the committing of crimes.

Those settlers, like other Israelis, take their Bible seriously to the point of fanaticism. They think it’s their destiny to establish a “Jewish home” called “Greater Israel.” I call this a form of totalitarianism. It has been brutal and sadistic.

The settlers have the backing of the Israeli “Defense” Forces, who adhere to the religious fanaticism for the sake of “Greater Israel.” 

The objective has gotten Israeli Zionists to admit that their objective is colonialism with its fascist tendencies. They have used myths of religious supremacy, ultranationalism and racism, creating a portrayal of Palestinians as being “wild beasts” and “animals.”

Hasan Abi, an intellectual online, presented a segment where an Israeli woman admitted she was a fascist in 2019. And she laughed about it. She is now a settler.

In another segment on Secular Talk, host Kyle Kulinski and his wife Crystal Ball showed an Israeli woman who downplayed and even justified colonialism against Palestinians.

I used the word fascist against the settlers and other Zionists. But I’ll also go as far as saying that they are Zionist Nazis. The myth of the “Chosen People” sounds like supremacy and it should be remembered that the Nazis promoted myths of Aryan supremacy, implying that they were a “Chosen People.”

Not to say that Jews are Nazis…hell no. The Holocaust bears this out. But Israeli Zionists have been attempting a Holocaust of their own not only against Palestinians but also neighboring countries.

Jews have taken up the Palestinian cause. They understand the cause and effect of the Israel-Palestine conflict. And have strongly protested. There Jews who in fact are rejecting Zionism and are very critical of Israel’s objectives.

Doctors Without Borders published a news story detailing the overall violence and murder by both the settlers and the Israeli “Defense” Forces. The first part of the story tells about the settlers.

There is mention of risks of “injury or death” Palestinians face “from unprovoked Israeli attacks. Violence by Israeli settlers has also increased, with residents reporting settlers entering Palestinian villages and farmland while openly carrying weapons, and attacking Palestinians in their cars.”

According to a resident, “The settler attacks have grown more brutal and deadly. Most of them are armed nowadays and they shoot to kill.”

Meanwhile, U.S. officials have condemned the violence and killing by the settlers, which is a shock, given the violence and killing of the Trump regime. U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called the settlers’ actions an “act of terror.” If the Trump regime thinks it’s that bad, then it should stop sending military aid to Israel.

Huckabee’s statement somewhat reflects what Joe Biden said when he was showing brief empathy for the Palestinians. But Biden continued to send aid to Israel and it wound up killing more Palestinians. Biden condemned Hamas but did not mention the oppression by Israel against the Palestinians since 1948.

The mass killing in the Old Testament coincides with the attitudes and objectives of Zionists. It is one passage in the Bible that is antiquated and should be rejected.
