Why are Israelis and Zionists so psychotic?

A personal psychological explanation

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink recently posted the reaction of some Zionists to her call for a ceasefire in Gaza. See:

If you didn’t hear it all, one of the women suggests that Medea be filmed getting raped, and the film sent to her mother.

Israel is engaged in a blatant genocide of the civilian population of Gaza, just the latest ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people by the racist Jewish state that has been trying to annihilate them since 1948. Their main target is a hospital, and they are killing mostly women and children. When their murderous behavior is exposed they fabricate a bunch of ridiculous lies and post them online, although no one seems to believe them anymore. Everything they falsely accuse Hamas soldiers of doing, they have done themselves: rape, torture, killing babies, putting children in an oven; a massive case of psychological projection. You can find videos online of Jewish veterans from the 1948 Nakba bragging about this behavior.

They are like rabid dogs. What accounts for this insanity?

I might have some unique insight into this phenomenon because I was raised to be Jewish until age 11, and my entire family are Zionists on both sides. I won’t try to explain Evangelical Christian Zionists who believe in biblical prophecies like the second coming of Christ after rebuilding of the second temple, Armageddon and the Rapture, or religious Jews who believe in the allocation of the holy land by god to the Jews as the “chosen people”. Religious fanatics have a tautological logic of their own, which anyone who has spoken to a fundamentalist has observed. When asked why they believe things in the Torah/Koran/Bible they will tell you because the book is the word of god. How do they know it is the word of god? Because the book says so! And I am the King of Siam. How do I know? Because I said so! Religions are fairy tales for children, a form of mental illness, the root of all evil, take your pick. I won’t try to explain them.

I’m talking about the Reform, Conservative or secular Zionists who generally don’t believe that the holy book is the word of god. What accounts for their insane behavior? Secular Jews make up a large part of the Zionist population. Most Israelis aren’t even religious, I’m told. Biblical prophecy doesn’t explain their behavior. I think psychological torture and trauma is a better explanation.

Jews suffer from something Gilad Atzmon has described as “pre-traumatic stress disorder”: He defines the stress as “the outcome of a phantasmic event, an imaginary episode set in the future; an event that has never taken place.”

What creates this psychotic fear that might explain their behavior? Let me explain because they did it to me. Some Catholic priests may rape the bodies of children, but Jewish authorities rape their minds.

When you are born, if you are a Jewish male you are circumcised with no anaesthesia allowed. In many cases it is done in a religious ceremony called a “bris”. Imagine celebrating cutting the skin on your penis off, how sick!

Whether it is done in a hospital or in a ceremony, the effect is the same: The most sensitive part of your body is cut with a scalpel right after birth; welcome to the world! What is the message? You are helpless and strangers will inflict grievous pain on you, and the world is a painful, dangerous place. Great way to start life! I was once picked up hitchhiking by a guy who had a unique explanation for circumcision. He said the ancient Jews believed that god was in the shape of a circle, and therefore they had to expose the round head of the penis to god. Could be, any cockamamie explanation is consistent with religion. Regardless of the reason, Jewish males are traumatized from birth.

When you are old enough to read you are sent to “Sunday School” like Christians, except the Jewish sabbath is on Saturday, so “Sunday school” is on Saturday, unless it is on Thursday, which it was in my case. I went to “Sunday school” on Thursday afternoon.

I don’t remember much from Thursday “Sunday school”, except I do remember the mind rape. Aside from biblical lessons there are several things that are drummed into your head. First of all they tell you that everyone in the world hates us, so we have to stick together to defend ourselves. We were always told, “Next year in Jerusalem!”, which I guess was a commandment to move to Israel. And finally, was the constant reminder of the “holocaust”, and how it could happen again if we are not careful. At the age of 10 or 11 they start showing you films from WWII of Nazi concentration camps and the gas chambers where they say 6 million Jews were executed. They show you lampshades which were supposedly made with the skin of Jews, and soap made from their dead bodies. Finally and most disturbingly, they show you piles of emaciated Jewish corpses, made of skin and bones, being bulldozed into a pit. At the age of 11 this was quite traumatic. It might explain why I could never watch horror movies after that. I think the entire Jewish population is suffering from extreme trauma and paranoia, induced by programming in temple and “Sunday school”.

My reaction at age 11 was that first of all, I don’t believe in a man sitting on a throne in the sky ruling over us. It sounds like Santa Claus. They kept telling us all these things that happened thousands of years ago starting with Abraham smashing all the idols of the polytheists in Ur. Sounded like a vandal to me, and who the hell cares what happened thousands of years ago? I couldn’t care less. If everyone hates us, I don’t want to be part of this club! And as for next year in Jerusalem? I was more interested in next year on the moon or Mars. I had no interest in any of it, it was torture, and I refused to ever go back. I wanted nothing to do with Judaism or religion.

The other thing that struck me over the years is that every Jewish holiday is about slaughtering someone. During Hanukkah the candle burned for 8 days while the Jews slaughtered the Maccabees. During Passover, god passed over the Jewish people and slaughtered the Egyptians. During Purim the Jews slaughtered the Persians. The only holiday that doesn’t involve a war and slaughter is probably Sukkos, which is the harvest festival, most likely borrowed from the pagans.

Despite rejecting religion at age 11, I didn’t learn the truth about Israel expelling the Palestinians in 1948 until about 2005. Whenever I read critical articles or heard someone criticize Israel, I had a visceral reaction in my body which rejected the criticism. Although my mind knew the truth, my body and emotions still held the traumatic programming from Sunday school. I remember clearly that it took about a year before the mental truth of Israel’s crimes against Palestine penetrated my body and emotions, and I stopped having a physical reaction when someone criticized Israel.

Some of the more subtle, but racist aspects of Judaism is referring to non-Jews as “goyim”. I don’t really know what that means, but it isn’t flattering. Jewish men are told they can screw Shiksas (non-Jewish women) but are highly discouraged from marrying them. Blacks are referred to as Schvartzes, which just means black in Yiddish, but is also a racial slur.

I think psychological torture and trauma explains a lot of Zionist behavior. Laurent Guyénot's has written a great explanation of Jewish behavior in his book "From Yahweh to Zion". I highly recommend it for deeper understanding.

The most encouraging and astounding aspect of the recent violence in Israel is the world unifying in solidarity with the Palestinians. In the past, no one seemed to care. This time the entire world is having massive rallies with millions of people supporting the rights of Palestinians. I can’t explain it, but it is very encouraging.
