I am a strong anti-Zionist. Always was. My message is one that is not easily picked up. Zionism is cruel and lying. It wants to have an Israeli Jewish State. No Palestinians. How bizarre that Hitler wanted an Aryan state only. No Jews The only answer must be to stop the violent occupation and for the United States not to support the apartheid regime. I was voiceless for many years. Then, I went to Israel and saw the occupation and struggle myself. Shocked, I threw myself into the role of witness. Despair of a Jew Israel! Once a beloved dream is not a Jewish country Not a nation state but occupier. Racist Israel, what former incarnation of Zionism Twists into your nationalist dream? Have you gone mad fed by your violent history? Victim! Paranoid nightmare for Jews only. Have you forgotten the final solution? Palestinians, Semite brothers now suffer your destruction. Victims uprooted, remain locked in ghettos of despair. Supporters! You! Eat the myth and drink the victim’s blood. Naked victims, besieged by a collective stench Oozing boils that smell of rot. Untangle the crazed twisted shroud of deception! Who amongst you walks in the land of false morality? Joy, poetry and love gone. Orange trees tainted With Palestinian blood spilled by criminal nightmares. I am that Jew who weeps despair. Lillian To read more of my blog click here: www.lillianrosengarten.com

Aug 22, 202 I was born in Frankfurt Germany during a time of growing Naziism and now some 80 years later I am attempting to expand upon the deep psychological implications of the Israeli Zionist hatred of Palestinians and the completely strange connection to aspects of Naziism. The Zionist psychological connection is extremely powerful yet so deep in the unconsciousness minds of the abusers that they are unable to reflect on their own violent and manipulative hysteria that is quite clearly apartheid and hatred. Over the past few years, I have been giving talks in Germany, “A German Jew Who Is Not A Zionist” The rooms were filled with Palestinians and leftist Germans, wonderful people who gave me so much support. But there were no Jews I was interviewed in two newspapers. It was exhilarating but very difficult. I was strongly labeled anti-Semitic by the powerful Jewish community and an article was written smearing my name in the Jerusalem Post. Some comments insisted I should have been burned in the Nazi crematoriums.. I could not at the time put together the link between Zionist Israel and the Nazi propaganda machine.The story of myself as a refugee is for another time. It is one of so many stories that have left a deep mark. What is there to understand about the “unique” German Holocaust trauma that demands blanket support of Israel and Zionism? Claims of anti-Semitism has led to a veritable witch-hunt. In Germany, a witch-hunt is raging against critics of Israel and support of BDS. Just take a moment and ask yourself how and why Zionists are transforming Palestine into a land for Jews only by destroying and eliminating Palestinians. Just as Jews were hated and deemed inferior by Nazi Germany, so Palestinians are deemed inferior by Zionism. As artists are banned, publications censored, bank accounts closed, rewards rescinded, more invitations revoked, more museum directors forced to resign, it is impossible not to hear the echoes of another Germany in another time. By insisting on this wicked conflation of human rights and anti-Semitism, Germany tries to appear to be atoning for its Nazi past and the horrors inflicted on European Jews. In reality it has not learned anything from that grizzly past and is supporting the preservation of those policieThe anti-BDS laws are not fixating on anti-Semitism. They are protecting the Zionist agenda and racist policies of Israel from criticism. The only way the Zionist agenda and racist politics can be protected, is by using anti-Semitism as a weapon in line with the Zionist defense. It is a clear “nuclear option” of “anti-Semitism” smear because those using that weapon have no clear counter-arguments to justify the racist agenda and policies so their response is to stifle all criticism of the racist entity. Will enough people in Germany wake up to this censorship? Even if they do, the majority won’t dare utter a word because the collective feelings of guilt is still so pervasive in German society. In broad terms, perhaps there is a core to understanding the hideous mechanics of zionism and the attempts to bring about a total Jewish state through this grotesque connection to the horrors of Naziism.

It is not beyond my comprehension to understand the policies of the Israeli government in light of Jewish history under the Nazis. We know Jews have suffered and have been victims. Is it that mentality behind the walls, the indescribable destruction, loss of land, houses, death, the decrepit prisons of torture? Are Jews really still victims of paranoia and fear?


Nationalism revisited is now twisted into a parody of the Nazi credo, "Deutschland uber alles" extolling Germany over all others, with only pure Germans as inhabitants. How is it possible that Israeli Jews whose ancestors have been victims of the worst nightmares of the Final Solution can turn away in blind denial? "Get rid of the undesirables who are beneath contempt." It is all so familiar yet cruelly deranged how a once hunted people have become hunters and haters. In my view, this hatred has been projected onto the "other," a Palestinian.


Many older generations of Jews (certainly not all), their psychology and work left undone, still carry with them scars of the Nazi Holocaust that has remained imprinted and lives in forms of guilt, victimhood and fear of another Holocaust brought on by the enormous anti-Semitism of today. They must protect Israel for they hear, "without Israel there would be no safe Jews." These fears are exported within the context of Zionist racist ideology. The cycle of abuse plays out endlessly and this is how I understand Palestinians to be the last victims of the Holocaust.


It is a painful to attempt to understand what drove the Zionist movement on it's determined path to have a Jewish nation state acquired through brute force and violent occupation. I look through a window whose shades have been drawn under the guise of the only democracy in the middle east. The shades can no longer hide the window of despair unless one refuses to see the truth. True Zionist nationalism and apartheid is both violent and racist. It lives to destroy. If you have not been there, including the misery of Gaza, it can be difficult to understand as truth becomes distorted and lies translate to what one wishes to see. The hatred of Palestinians has been so manipulated throughout Israel, Europe and the US. I as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany cannot help but see an echo of early Nazi Jew hatred. I fervently believe these systems destroys the fabric of what it means to be an evolved human being.


Desmond Tutu, the South African anti-apartheid and human rights activist said of Zionist Israel, "this is apartheid, like ours, only worse." It is only when Israel/Palestine become a unified country living with dignity and equal rights that there can be change. Now there is one state Israel, an apartheid state. To declare Israel an apartheid state is unbearable but it is the truth. We need to mobilize international pressure along with churches for a binational Democratic state in Israel. I believe it is only the outside world that can force change.


Yes, it is time to step back and reflect, to let go of moral superiority and to remember that we are all connected. We must remember who we are. Zionism was once created to be a safe haven for Jews within a model of a secular nation state. What is that? Nation state for me has resulted in mass evictions of other nationalities and ethnic cleansing. Do Jews who have been victimized have the moral right to occupy and disenfranchise another people?


Nothing about the characterization of Palestinian life is based on reality. It is a myth, a means to end the Palestinian “problem.” It is a fearful and extremely dangerous road. What needs clarification over and over again is that blinded supporters of Zionist Israel are by the very nature of their support complicit with Zionist Israel’s war crimes. To pretend Israel is a peace loving democracy is to be cajoled into a deception that Israel is something it is not. Claiming that what has been done to Palestinians by the Zionist is done in the name of Jews is false. What is being done to Palestinians by the Israeli Zionists will never be in my name as a Jew or as a human being.



Zionism in its attempt to hide behind the shade of normalcy is the Nakba, a catastrophe for Palestinians who once lived a rich life on land they called their own. It is also the despair of human rights activists vilified as anti-Semites, labeled delegitimizers, terrorists and dangerous in order to hide the truth of their crimes. It is the despair of Jews afraid to see the truth of Zionism that is so consumed with racial hate. The nightmare is leaking thru the false pretend Democracy. Zionism can no longer hide their agenda of a Jewish only state with echos of “juden rien” from another time. I understand this as an aberration, a missing piece of humanity that has led decendants of the final solution to engage in the actions as victimizers and killers while filled with righteous hate. It all sounds too familiar. I remember and then I know despair for the Palestinian story is also my story.
