JewSpeak Advises against the Word “Zionism”

[Ariadna: JewSpeak will block the word “Zionism” when addressing Goy audiences in France, at least for the duration, that is, until the Goyim will be re-educated to forget their ignorant aversion to it. Note to Sabba: Yes, you were right, the Jewry is concerned that the French give worrisome signs of becoming Jew-wary, as you noted in the previous post.

Say what you will, American Jews are miles ahead of their European brethren when it comes to finessing the spiel to be served to the Goyim. Think “focus groups.” This is why they decided to help the French Jews improve their hasbara to make it more palatable to the French Goyim. So, don’t say “Zionism” and they’ll forget about it. Also pretend to care about the French people, even better: pretend to be one!]

French Jews Advised to Avoid Use of the Term Zionism

Greenberg worked on Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s campaign in 1999, in which Barak was elected prime minister. He has also worked on campaigns for former US president Bill Clinton, former British prime minister Tony Blair, and former South African president Nelson Mandela. Greenberg currently advises the British Labor party and SPD, the German social-democratic party.

(JTA) — Stanley Greenberg, a prominent American political strategist from the United States, advised representatives of French Jewry to avoid mentioning Zionism when speaking to non-Jews.

Zionism “is seen as extremist and a force mainly in Israel, rather than Europe. Use of the term links your spokespeople to what is seen as an external conflict,” Greenberg, who has advised the campaigns of Bill Clinton and John Kerry, wrote in July to Robert Ejnes, the executive director of the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities.

Zionism is seen as an “extremist movement that is uncompromising and aggressively pursues its goals.”

Greenberg’s advice was based on findings from a 70-person focus group that tested the impact of messaging on subjects relevant to CRIF’s work. The results were released last year.

The testing was suggested and paid for by American Jewish philanthropists who wanted to help CRIF combat the rise of violent anti-Semitism in France. The donors wished to remain anonymous, Ejnes said.

One far-left voter said during polling: “For me [Zionism is] the Israeli version of Nazism.”

Ejnes told JTA he found the findings on Zionism the most unexpected.

“All the sectors — Muslims, highly-educated, far-right and far-left voters – they all said the same: Zionism is to Jews what iihadism is to Muslims,” he said. “It indicates it is very difficult to use the word ‘Zionist,’ in the definition we have of it, in popular discourse.”

If the recommendation is implemented, “It wouldn’t be because CRIF has changed its commitment to Israel or Zionism – they are at the core of CRIF and French Jews,” Ejnes said. “But it shows we need to educate people about Zionism while we adjust our message for maximum effectiveness.”

While Zionism has a negative effect, Greenberg said, “It is important to value the bond of French Jews with Israel. That bond is seen as strong and normal. ‘Israel’ did not raise a red flag in the groups, and CRIF should continue to promote its cultural and economic diversity.”
