Western Jews and suffocating pressure on Israel policy

The followers of the German “Jewish Voice for Peace in the Middle East”, demonstrated to the fore, a question about the impact of the impact of some Jewish individuals and movements in Europe and the United States, to the Israeli war against the Gaza Strip, on the government of Benjamin Netanyahu in the short term, and in the image of Israel in the world in the long run.

The answer to the first part of the question appears to be present, namely the inability of this movement- or the “Naturi Carta group”, which rejects the establishment of Israel, and the “European Jews for Jewish Jews”, and others, as well as many prominent members of the Jews in Western societies who reject the “genocide”- to cause a strong material impact on Netanyahu’s decision, and those with him who are right-wing extremist politicians in Israel.

However, its position is not without a moral and symbolic impact that exceeds the scope of the current Israeli government, to reach the opening of a discussion, even if it is shy at the beginning, about the new Israeli project that is based on oppression and domination, and trying to impose everything on the Arabs with a blatant military force.

And he converted to the “German model”, so what these inspected movements lead to continuing to demonstrate against the extermination of the Palestinians despite the severe repression that they are exposed to by Western governments, affecting several directions, which can be mentioned as follows:

1- Putting the issue of “anti -Semitism” as a question, after decades of being considered one of the basic Muslims in Western societies.

Here is Iris Hevz, president of the association, complaining about the mockery of non -Jews, who are taking advantage of the issue of “anti -Semitism” to achieve political and personal gains, and she says: “They want to teach us what anti -Semitism is.”

Then she moves to criticizing the authority itself from this section, and she says: “The German authorities publish the Israeli narrative about anti -Semitism, and systematically confuse the Jews and Israel … The collective marking of any actions or feelings hostile to Israel with anti -Semitism, which is exposed to the life of the Jews.”

Although this voice was dimmed compared to the official German position, and what the “Central Council of the Jews” is doing, which collected donations for the benefit of Israeli soldiers in the war, the mere scratching of the silent and fixed perception about “anti -Semitism” by an association and individuals from the Jews, and not from the followers of any other religion in the West, will find resonance with social circles outside the Jewish groups, cutting the path that was previously taken by many perceptions, ideas and visions In the West, where it started isolated, besieged and suppressed, but its circles soon expanded over time.

2- Looking at the necessity of disengagement from the “Jewish religion” and “Zionism”, the latter is merely a secular perception or ideology, whose primary destination is not overlooked by the colonial project, but it employed the text and Jewish history in its favor.

Israel has benefited from this integration in propaganda and mobilization, bringing the sympathy of Westerners, and receiving their grants, gifts and donations.

The “Jewish Voice” association was not late in declaring its position immediately after October 20, 2023, and it was quick to refuse to be the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians under the banner of defending the Jews or in their name, so it raised the slogan: “Not in our name”, which is the same slogan that was raised by associations and movements similar to the United States of America.

This place can be seen to the crisis in which Zionism lives and revolves around four things, according to Abdel Wahab Al -Masiri: the problem of religious and secular, the crisis of identity, the problem of housing or settlement, and the disintegration of the intellectual framework; Because of consumer, secular, globalization, and privatization tendencies.

This crisis led, at the end, at the height of its maturity, to the emergence of the post-Zionist stream.

Although the post -Zionist theses did not provide a coherent perception until now, and did not escape from “cultural contradiction” or “schizophrenia” sometimes, or made a break with the ideas of Zionism and its history, or implemented to Israeli policies effectively, it was based on a relatively different vision of Zionism, and revealed its bankruptcy or its inability to maintain its vitality, or solve it Between elements claiming to combine them, such as traditional, national and global privacy, modernization, religion and secularism.

Although some of those belonging to this idea- under which those who are sometimes described as “exiles among the Jews”- are retracted from their declared positions, and some of their thinking successively, the strong Israeli reaction to it confirms its importance, and that it is not trivial.

The Israeli authorities have practiced all the material restrictions and moral distortion of the “post -Zionist” stream, on the lack of those affiliated with it, but the controversy raised by the idea moved to the Jews abroad, including organizations or lobbies loyal to Israel, and was part of his argument in influencing his interaction with some liberal theses about reducing the role that the ethnicities play in the state analysis Nationalism in Western democracies.

The position of the Jews rejecting the Israeli aggression on Gaza, over time, feeds the thesis of the “post -Judaism” stream, which appeared since the 1970s, and provides a critical vision of the Israeli state’s dealings with minorities such as Arabs and eastern Jews (Sephardic).

He tries to replace the “national Jew” narrow horizon, with the enlightened “global man”, which looks at the Jewish state as an ancient, hated and sabotage phenomenon, with its secular reports, and criticizes the rigid religious theses, which deal with the secularists, in their endeavor to build the state, as just a “donkey” that the religious people ride to reach their highest goal, which is the seizure of the state, Christ.

3- Exercising of severe moral pressures on political power, after exposing its duplication, as it declares its respect for public freedoms in thinking, expression and management, which exerts a severe restriction on the critics of Israel, a matter that summarized a picture of the Berlin police while surrounding an activist in the “Jewish Voice” association raising a sign written on it: “Be Jewish and Israeli … stop the genocide in Gaza.”

4- The position of the Jewish societies rejecting the war leads to exposing the Western media bias of Israel, and highlighting the abolition of Palestinian votes in Germany, a matter that was paid attention to early, especially after an attempt to silence Palestinian or solidarity voices with Palestine between the pioneers of the world of culture and art, by canceling cooperation with them to give lectures, organizing seminars, events and exhibitions, or forcing them to leave works and jobs, and abolishing Contracting contracts.

Of course, a criticism by a Jewish association for German media, the most biased for Israel in the whole West, and the most repressive of any voice it criticizes, will not be without an influence on Western cultural and social circles over time, and warns it that the Israeli narrative- and what is consistent with it- is not necessarily the truth, which is an extremely important issue, compared to what Israel has gained from the tendency of the Western media to it through decades.

And we can give an example a clear example of this bang by an article by a well -known German Jewish writer; She is Deborah Feldman, published in the British newspaper “The Guardian”, entitled: “Germany is a good place to be a Jew. Unless you, like me, a Jew criticizing Israel”, criticizing the selectivity practiced by the German media about the Israeli aggression on Gaza, a matter practiced by read, audio, visual and electronic media in the West in general.

Here, the German situation can be seen as part of a Western case in general, as many sectors of the new left appeared in the West, hostile to Israel, including a large number of Jewish youth who are indispensable to the values ​​of the consumer capitalist society, which is represented by the Zionist state in the third world.

Likewise, the ideas adopted by atheists and people do not adhere to the biblical promise of the Jews, and are not occupied by the correlation between the Old and New Testaments that were born in his “Zionist Christian passengers”, and it has become supported by Israel from a doctrinal standpoint.

On the contrary, these people, in light of the human tendency in its worldly and its insignificance, have made all the texts, interpretations, interpretations, or religious contexts that would stoke racism and hatred.
