What follows are the chief reasons why I support Zionism stated as briefly as possible.
1. Oppression of the Jews.
The Jewish people are the most oppressed people in all History. Romans feeding Jews to the lions, pogroms in Russia & in Eastern Europe, the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, anti-Semitic Palestinian terrorism, etc., all make this exceedingly clear. In proportion as the gentiles are so inclined to treat Jews in such a way, in that same proportion the feeling of equality and the existence of tolerance between Jews and gentiles are inconceivable.
2. Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism
This being the case, that Zionism is about ending the oppression of Jews, and that the Jews are in fact oppressed, it follows that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. For it is clear that any man who is opposed to ending the oppression of Jews is an anti-Semite, whether he know it or not.
3. Zionism in light of Juche Philosophy
Although the North Koreans support the Palestinians, still, their revolutionary Juche philosophy offers a very convincing justification for Zionism. Kim Jong Il said, in the words of one North Korean, that a culture needs to be viewed "by taking bloodline and language is the common features." He said that what defines a nation must include fellow countrymen "of the same bloodline". Kim Jong Il's definition of a nation is based upon one's blood and language.
I beileve that Kim Jong-il's definition of a nation is correct.
Since I am not going to write a ten-paged essay proving Juche Philosophy correct, I shall leave it at this: I believe Juche Philosopy to be correct, and have extracted therefrom a very convincing justification for Zionism.
Such is my reason for supporting Zionism in light of Juche philosophy.
4. Jewish Culture and History are linked with Israel.
For the Jewish people, the conception of a return to Israel has deep cultural roots. Examples: the Land of Israel is spoken of in many Jewish prayers. The Jewish calender, and with it many holidays, is largely based upon the seasonal conditions of Israel. Festivals (such as Shavuot) were first conceived of in Israel. In every Passover the words "next year in Jerusalem" are said. The Jews are descended from Israelis. As illustrated by the forementioned examples, Jewish history and culture are indeed very intimately connected with Israel. (See also my third reason for supporting Zionism in light of this fourth reason.)
Such are my reasons for supporting Zionism
Every single troll is an ENEMY OF THE REPUBLIC!
Another one got zapped.
Shouldn't you beheading to China to pass your bootleg tape of "Brokeback Mountain" off to one of Kim's agents?
