One thought on “Lest We Forget– Zionism is a ‘secular’ movement that has no ‘biblical’ basis”
  1. The problem with the commentator you mentioned and people like him, is that unless you’re really paying attention, it’s easy to overlook. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt for the purposes of my statement. You see, I was once like him in some ways also. There is an innate goodness in Gentiles… the other day you called it gullibility or naivite, that makes us want to attribute goodness to others even if they are wolves with snakes for tails. It’s hard for a Gentile to see the evil that exists, especially in these accursed children of Beelzebub.
    This entire worldview that he espouses is merely the next step after hearing about the real nature of the jews… the Gentile mind doesn’t want to paint an entire group of people with a negative brush… so it will look for anything and everything that will accomplish that task.
    You know very well how mired and marinated the entire world is in judaic thought/propaganda/lies/views/etc … from cradle to grave. You literally can’t go anywhere where their influence doesn’t extend. So it’s extremely understandable that there are tons and tons of people like this (and formerly myself). What changed me was the persistence in my appetite for truth and the availability of factual information. Just as the Prophets of old… the only way to save people is education… Hosea 4:6… People like him (genuine ones) are potentially allies… you taught me that value.
    While saying all the above, I also understand your frustration (at least to some extent) … we humans have always been in this state… knowledge is a blessing (and obligation) from God and the love of Truth the best way to secure it. I get very angry at what’s going on in general and this problem in particular… and after much wrangling I always come to the same conclusion: education and persistence… just like Jesus and Muhammad taught us. You can’t change/save everyone but we have to try. There is no other way, morally that is. God gave us the gift of reason and intellect and the ability for cooperation for a reason…
    That’s why what you and TUT do is so important… not just for the J problem but in general. Like you keep mentioning and with which I agree with 100%, man cannot have two masters… either you love truth and hate lies or love lies and hate truth… truth being the light and blessings of God and all that is good.
    Something that also just occurred to me… that text is not the best medium with which to reach people… it works with some of the more intellectual types but in general it’s no coincidence that the CoB (Children of Beelzebub) in the very early days saw the value of controlling the visual medium that is TV/Movies etc. The saying that pictures are worth a thousand words… imagine how many words 24/30 fps of video is worth. I don’t know if you’ve ever considered it or what, maybe you should have a video show instead of/in addition to your radio program. It really helps to convey the message when you can see the person expressing honestly their reasoning and intent. Just something to consider.
    I don’t know if I’ve effectively communicated my point of view… maybe if you get the gist, that is enough… there are just so many lost people in this world… let’s not leave them to the mercy of the gangs of snarling tribal wolves when they can eventually help us defeat this enemy of mankind.
