The Zionist Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said this week that he has instructed diplomats to establish formal communication channels with far-right political parties in Sweden, France and Spain. These parties — Sweden Democrats, France’s National Rally, and Spain’s Vox — had previously been shunned by Israeli government institutions due to concerns over antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and their historical ties to fascist movements. The glue that unifies all these reactionaries is Islamophobia and support for the genocide Israel has committed in Gaza.
This is not the first time in history that the Zionists develop close connections with the extreme right wing parties. Between 1933-to 1941 the Zionists had close ties to the German Nazi party. German Zionist organization wrote to the Nazi leadership a document that was found in 1962 which reads:
“May we therefore be permitted to present our views, which, in our opinion, make possible a solution in keeping with the principles of the new German State of National Awakening and which at the same time might signify for Jews a new ordering of the conditions of their existence … Zionism has no illusions about the difficulty of the Jewish condition, which consists above all in an abnormal occupational pattern and in the fault of an intellectual and moral posture not rooted in one’s own tradition …
… an answer to the Jewish question truly satisfying to the national state can be brought about only with the collaboration of the Jewish movement that aims at a social, cultural, and moral renewal of Jewry … a rebirth of national life, such as is occurring in German life through adhesion to Christian and national values, must also take place in the Jewish national group. For the Jew, too, origin, religion, community of fate and group consciousness must be of decisive significance in the shaping of his life …
On the foundation of the new state, which has established the principle of race, we wish so to fit our community into the total structure so that for us too, in the sphere assigned to us, fruitful activity for the Fatherland is possible … Our acknowledgement of Jewish nationality provides for a clear and sincere relationship to the German people and its national and racial realities. Precisely because we do not wish to falsify these fundamentals, because we, too, are against mixed marriage and are for maintaining the purity of the Jewish group” [i]
The World Zionist Organization saw Hitler’s victory in much the same way as its German affiliate, the ZVfD: not primarily as a defeat for all Jewry, but as positive proof of the bankruptcy of assimilationism and liberalism. Their own hour was at hand. The then world-famous popular biographer Emil Ludwig, was interviewed by a fellow Zionist on a visit to America and expressed the general attitude of the Zionist movement:
“Hitler will be forgotten in a few years, but he will have a beautiful monument in Palestine. You know”, and here the biographer-historian seemed to assume the role of a patriarchal Jew – “the coming of the Nazis was rather a welcome thing. So many of our German Jews were hovering between two coasts; so many of them were riding the treacherous current between the Scylla of assimilation and the Charybdis of a nodding acquaintance with Jewish things. Thousands who seemed to be completely lost to Judaism were brought back to the fold by Hitler, and for that I am personally very grateful to him.” [ii]
Then came the transfer (Havara in Hebrew) the Zionist broke the boycott on Nazi Germany and became an agent for selling German goods in the Middle East.
“The Nazi regime gained a valuable means of circumventing the international boycott campaign that its antisemitic policies had provoked. The Jewish Agency supervised a “transfer” of both people and capital to British Mandate Palestine, where Jewish immigrants would recover the value of their assets placed in an escrow account in Germany and exchanged for exported German goods” [iii]
Then the Nazi regime praised the Zionist project in Palestine in the main Nazi newspaper “Der Angriff”. Before WWII, the Zionist Movement sought cooperation with Nazi authorities to encourage German Jews to immigrate to Palestine. In 1933, Kurt Tuchler of the German Zionist Federation contacted Nazi officer Leopold von Mildenstein to write about Jewish settlements in Palestine. They toured Palestine for a month, and von Mildenstein later published 12 articles in the Nazi newspaper “Der Angriff,” promoting the Zionist cause. Joseph Goebbels commemorated these articles with a medallion.
Years before Eichmann was brought to Israel to stand trial, the notorious mass-murderer visited Mandatory Palestine in 1937 while disguised as a journalist and met with the messenger of Ben-Gurion.
The Zionist terrorist organization Lehi that Shamir who would become a prime minister was a leader of this organization. In 1941 this organization sent Yalin Mor a messenger to nazi Germany to get Germany to aid the organization, In an article from 2023 we find:
“Recently declassified documents from Israeli state archives reveal how the Lehi – one of the many Zionist militias operating in Palestine prior to the formation of Israel – attempted to enlist the aid of Nazi Germany against the British mandate, Haaretz reported last week.
“Eighty-one years later, it is still hard to understand how Jews in the Land of Israel could have believed in enlisting Nazi Germany in the struggle to liberate the homeland from British control,” the Israeli newspaper said.” [iv]
While scientifically speaking Israel is not a fascist state the similarity is striking. Not by Chance professor Lebowitz called the right-wing Zionists Yudo-Nazis.
Down with the Zionist monster!
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
