No to annexation, yet real racism is on the Arab-Muslim side

No to annexation, yet real racism is on the Arab side.

We object annexation for so many reasons.

But...

The hype of racialized language isn't just wrong. It's dangerous, as it wrongly "legitimizes" racist Arab Islamic attackers who target civilian Jews. Inside Israel or outside.

That, and the racist dehumanization "as apes and pigs" education and sermons in mainstream Arab Muslim bigoted Palestine.

Racial language

It is vital to know that the slippery slope language of demonizing Israel and often used as a way to vilify Jews as a whole began by Issa Nakhleh in June 17 1949 at UN at his -more brutal than nazis- inventive phrase and in 1963 wrote to fascist Candian fuhrer Arcand; in 1972 showed his colors by denying Hitler killed Jews - that the 6,000,00 are "alive" and in 1981 lectured at IHR Holocaust deniers representing Muslim Congress.
Issa Nakhleh's hate terminology was adopted by Hitler's ally ex-Mufti's henchman Ahmad Shukairy in 1960, and a year later October 17, 1961 he began first the apartheid slanderous comparison. He questioned Catholic Uruguayan Representative Enrique Fabregat's loyalty saying he is a "Jew." He also said Jews sre not a nation. And in end of 1962 was sacked from UN after saluting Nazi Tacuara.

As to Israel's legitimacy as a safe haven for most persecuted group in the world, which are persecuted for belonging or being connected to Jewish origin or culture, or/ and for perceived as such in the eye of the persecutor, that isn't a "race" thing either. Not just because the persecuted areca mixture of colors, but also because it's as it is, a refuge. Not a racial superiority ideology. Never was. Even colonialist Jabotinsky was not about a "race."

As to Zionism of any string, today it is less about ideology. Today there is a question of survival. So is the barrier for example. And you can be called a "zionist" today for just being a defender of lives.
(Even Carter admitted -at the time on CNN and on NPR- that his "book" is not about inside Israel territory which is a wonderful equal democracy.).

More to the point of real racism and bigotry:
Ask yourself, if there had been a conflict (since 1920) had it not been for being Jewish, mostly. Amidst the goliath Arab Muslim neighborhood, where all nations are Muslim and most are Arab.
