As a proponent for one state with equal rights for all, Ali Abunimah is being targeted by the noxious zionist lobby for censorship. He challenges the absurd anti-democratic methodology used against him:
Typically, they throw in everything to try to defame and tar me: Hamas, Hizbullah, anti-Semitism, making Jewish students feel uncomfortable — all the usual defamatory silencing tactics to try to suppress debate and discussion about Israel’s apartheid and the alternatives that respect everyone. As they surely know, I have been an unflagging advocate of full equality and human rights for all Palestinians and Israeli Jews and others living in historic Palestine, and am guided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Why do they not want students at the University of New Mexico to hear this message?
As Ali has said, memorably: “Zionists tend to regard equal rights for all citizens in a nonracial nonsectarian state roughly the way Dracula views garlic.”
For political zionists, there is not enough pizza for all, nor should the cooks and kitchen staff sit at the same table with them. Like all racist ideologies, zionism can’t survive in the light of day – with the institution of full equal rights.
Further, political zionism is a form of fascism, with censorship of opposing ideas just one symptom of a larger nauseating recipe – super-nationalism, Blut und Boden, syncretised mythologies of past and future glory, nation and race/ethnicity placed above all else, promotion of a cult of unity, strength and purity, atomisation of the working class, belligerent expansionism for lebensraum, corporatism, perpetual warfare, militarism, violence, social darwinism, authoritarianism, rejection of cultural pluralism and multiculturalism, indoctrination, propaganda, newspeak, unegalitarian regulation of private property primarily for the benefit of the community not individuals, selective populism, unegalitarian social welfare, attack of intellectuals, disagreement is treason, racist loyalty oaths, strategic victimhood and sense of besiegement, scapegoating, contempt for the weak, xenophobia, and a cult of heroism. All these are expressed in Israel’s political zionism, projected externally by the ubiquitous, bullying Israel lobby, and pandered to by other invasive settler colonial miscreants for whom questioning and censuring the zionist entity would bring into focus their own brutal crimes against their indigenous people.
Each form of fascism as it arises takes aspects of existing culture and grows a unique poisonous plant.

Ilan Pappe “Israel, the Holocaust and the Nakba”:
‘The Israelis went the other way in two directions that complemented each other. On the one hand, they felt secure from any Western pressure and continued the dispossession of the Palestinians – until today. The limits to their actions in the past, and quite probably in the future, were well defined by the late Israeli journalist Aryeh Caspi: as long as the Israelis do not do to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews, they are within the legitimate and moral boundaries of civilised behaviour. The repertoire of actions within those limits was, and still is, quite horrendous, as the latest Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip testify. The other direction was to Nazify the Palestinians so as to justify further the actions against them. ‘

Neither Israel’s leaders or US really *want* Israel to be/feel secure, as an insecure posture supports lovely expansionism & militarisation
Israel’s ‘insecure’ posture validates more land theft; expansionism for Israel is strategy, tactic & aim, feeding the insecure facade
Israel’s expansionism is reflexive, fascistic, irrational – action for action’s sake
Israel’s expansionism is contrary to the interests of its own people, let alone those whom it oppresses, dispossesses and threatens
the vicious cycle perpetuates strife against its own people – land isn’t alive
the greater the insecurity, feelings of humiliation, victimhood, the tighter the grasp of fascism
i’m reflecting for the zillionth time on umberto eco’s 14 ways http://is.gd/jYiup
it’s my fav work on fascism – i’m not so keen on the marxist definition
though in one sense it applies to israeli fascism if one replaces the proleteriat with palestinians
ziofascism harnesses mythology – judaeic, holocaust etc and feeds the sense of righteous humiliation, victimhood etc
see Eco’s first point
zionism itself is a concocted political ideology – it is syncretised out of several myths to feed the colonial myth of entitlement
from my observation, they did to begin with – eg herzl, but it’s reflexively engrained in current ziofascists
have you come across any zionist lately who actively questions their privilege?
QED! RT @ZazaFL: @Jinjirrie I’ve never come across a zionist that actively questions anything about zionism..
@ZazaFL but actually, their military strategists do consider it – like van creveld spells it out
@ZazaFL he’s like a meta-zionist
Some folks within Israel now waking up to ziofascism:
