[ Editor’s Note: What a catch we have here via Stuart Littlewood, and from a source we have not used before on VT.
People’s World,[1] official successor to the Daily Worker, is a Marxist and American leftist national daily online news publication. Founded by activists, socialists, communists, and those active in the labor movement in the early 1900s, the current publication is a result of a merger between the Daily World[2] and the West Coast weekly paper People’s Daily World in 1987. (from Wikipedia)
This is the first published mention of a Jim Dean pet peeve, which poses the question, why have the terms ‘Jewish Supremacist’ and ‘Israeli Supremacist’ never made it into the international media lexicon?
Could it have been just an honest mishap, or perhaps a purposeful banishment so that those for whom the term was founded could go on a jihad of blaming everyone else as being supremacists of some kind, aka anti-Semites, to get them on the defensive to be easier to manipulate politically.
Personally I would add, from my having followed Israeli politics in their media heavily for a decade now, that if you want to find some uber anti-semites, some real Jew haters, go to Israel and watch a Knesset debate during election time from the gallery.
For the really good stuff, you have to have someone translate the Hebrew Israeli media if you want to see the world champions of hate, and with no apology for any of it.
VT salutes the 1000+ righteous Jews in Israel that signed their names to this letter. As for all the US media that took a pass on publishing this, I would tell them “thanks for exposing yourselves so openly, showing how ‘in the bag’ you have been.”
Every opportunity to print stories about the horrors of ‘anti-semitism’ is jumped on, while ‘Jewish Supremacism’, we never see a word on it published in the West, or anywhere else I have seen.
So much for our phony free press, but thanks for Stu and this catch, the People’s Daily. To have this all on one article, I have attached the names of all these Righteous Jews at the end of Stu’s article. Let’s all sip a glass of wine this evening in salute to these people. Let’s give them all the support we can, for everyone’s benefit… Jim W. Dean ]
Hats off to a group of Israeli Jews who so dislike the supremacist regime governing them that they’re prepared to do something about it.
These brave souls have published an open letter with over 1,000 signatories to the International Community. It first circulated back in May but didn’t come my way until now.
Is it genuine? Dunno, can’t say but hope so. I’m unable to track down the group IsraelisAgainstApartheid; they remain ‘hidden’ perhaps for good reason.
One passage I particularly like is “Jewish supremacy is the cornerstone of the Israeli regime, and its consistent objective is to transfer and obliterate the Palestinian people, their history, and their national identity… We believe that Zionism is an unethical principle of governance that inherently leads to a racist regime that has been committing war crimes and denying basic human rights from Palestinians for over seven decades.”
Another is “As individuals who belong to the side of the oppressor, and that have tried for years to shift public opinion in Israel in order to change the foundations of the current regime, we have long come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the Jewish supremicist regime without external intervention. We call upon the international community to intervene immediately to stop Israel’s current aggressions.…”
They make clear their view that Israel’s crimes “effectively form an Apartheid regime creating bantustan-like and ghetto-like areas for Palestinian native communities”, a diabolical situation those who have been there can confirm.
Apartheid defined
The International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (ICSPCA) of 1973, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, defines the crime of apartheid as “inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group … over another racial group … and systematically oppressing them”. No doubt that this is what’s going on in occupied Palestine.
The crime of apartheid was further defined in 2002 by Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhuman acts such as torture, murder, forcible transfer, imprisonment, or persecution of an identifiable group on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, or other grounds “committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime”. No doubt about that either.
Is the International Community listening? Let’s hope so. Because they’ve been called upon a thousand times to take action on the outrageous state of affairs in the Holy Land and they’ve done bugger-all (no offence to the wretched UN). – Stu Littlewood

From The People’s World, by BETHANY RIELLY
Over 1,000 progressive Jewish Israelis have signed an open letter declaring themselves “Israelis Against Apartheid” and calling for decolonization of the region. Backed by prominent figures including historian Ilan Pape and B’tselem executive board member Orly Noy, the powerful statement urges immediate international intervention to change Israel’s apartheid regime.
“As individuals who belong to the side of the oppressor, and that have tried for years to shift public opinion in Israel in order to change the foundations of the current regime, we have long come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the Jewish supremacist regime without external intervention,” it reads.
The call by the new campaign group Jews4Decolonisation was launched amid Israel’s latest aggression against the Palestinian people in May, which saw 257 Gazans massacred and over 100,000 people displaced. Since then it has attracted 1,041 signatures, making it one of the largest ever anti-apartheid movements among Jewish-Israeli citizens.
The damning letter, also signed by Israeli Black Panthers co-founder Reuven Abergl and prominent journalist Asaf Ronel, calls out Jewish supremacy as the “cornerstone” of the Israeli state.
“Its consistent objective is to transfer and obliterate the Palestinian people, their history, and their national identity,” it says—an objective which manifests in “continued acts of ethnic cleansing” including relentless house demolitions and the nation-state law, legislation which defines Israel as “the nation state for the Jewish people” and them only.
Zionism—the belief that Israel is a state for the Jewish people and Jews have an inherent right to it—is an “unethical principle,” that “inevitably leads to a racist apartheid regime,” it adds.
“We are a very small minority”
While organizers say that support for the petition reflects a growing understanding in parts of the Israeli left that Zionism is “immoral” and “a form of Jewish supremacy,” these views are not shared by the vast majority of citizens.
“We are a very small minority,” Dr. Ruchama Marton, the founder of Physicians for Human Rights and one of the letter’s signatories, tells me. “We did not succeed for years to change anything in the Jewish Israeli community so this is the main reason why we need to ask for the international community’s help.”
Of course, some do shift their views. Born in Jerusalem, Marton began to turn a critical eye on the state after witnessing Israeli soldiers kill Egyptian prisoners of war during the 1956 Sinai war while serving in the Israeli military. As a result of these experiences, the doctor has since become a fierce critic of the state and, of late, a prominent supporter of the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
But this is rare. Explaining why, Marton says Israeli citizens’ reluctance to wake up to the reality of the apartheid regime, recently acknowledged in reports by B’tselem and Human Rights Watch, is partially down to the absence of any political opposition.
“Right and left, politically speaking, are singing, talking, and acting the same,” she says. “And so this is why there is no chance to change public opinion because it is a very solid, similar opinion for most of the Jewish people in Israel.”
This is reflected by widespread public support for some of the most extreme right-wing policies of the state, with a 2020 poll showing half of Israeli Jews support annexation of the West Bank, while two-thirds do not even acknowledge that Israel’s 50-year hold over the Palestinian territory is an occupation, according to a 2017 survey.
Israeli sociology professor Yehouda Shenhav, another signatory of the letter, adds that extreme right views have also become mainstream, with settler groups now present in the Knesset. “I think that the settlers, which were a marginal group, today they are in the government, they are everywhere and controlling the agenda,” he tells me.
“And I think that the Israeli left is so weak—if it exists at all—to oppose those tendencies, so we live in a place where there is Jewish supremacy on the ground and very very few people, even those considered the left, argue with that.”
Last week, over 70% of Israeli politicians, ranging from parties on the far right to the purported left, signed a letter condemning Ben and Jerry’s decision not to sell its ice cream in the settlements. The letter describes the settlements, which are illegal under international law, as “towns and cities in Israel,” reflecting how the majority of Israel’s political class treat the occupied West Bank as annexed.
In this context, the demands of the Jews4Decolonisation letter are pretty radical. Not only are they pitting themselves against the status quo, but the letter also calls for the international community to adopt the demands of the BDS movement and work towards the right of return for Palestinian refugees displaced in 1948 and 1967.
Finally, it demands that world leaders and authorities “reach a just and democratic solution for all, based on the decolonization of the region and founding a state of all its citizens.”
“We need to decolonize the Israeli consciousness”
To work towards decolonization, as the letter calls, Israelis must not only address the colonial relationship connected with physical territories but also “decolonize ourselves,” Shenhav tells me.
Colonial views are deeply ingrained in the nation’s consciousness, he says, from history to literature and languages and science—“it exists everywhere.” One of the most glaring examples for the professor is the lack of Arabic in Israeli society.
While it’s common for Israelis to learn English, German, French, or Spanish in schools, less than 0.5% can read Arabic, he says. At Tel Aviv University, where Shenhav works, students can submit a dissertation in English, but not in Arabic.
“Not even the leftists learn Arabic,” he explains. “People don’t make an effort because Jews want to feel like they live in Europe—that Israel is a branch of Europe and doesn’t exist in the Middle East. This is very, very sad. This is very indicative, this lack of inclination to make an effort to study the language of this place.”
The language is also being actively erased from the public space, he says, seen by the Nation State Act 2018, which downgrades Arabic from an official language to one of “special status.” Arabic road signs within Israel are often incomplete or littered with mistakes and Palestinian citizens of Israel are even fearful of speaking their language in public.
Born in Israel to a family of Iraqi Jews, the sociology professor is among that very small minority who can read and write Arabic. For Shenhav, knowing Arabic was key to waking up to the reality of the state, turning him from patriot to outspoken critic of Israeli apartheid and colonization.
“Once upon a time, I was a patriot but…when I started to read, you know, autobiographies and books written by Palestinians, gradually, gradually I started to understand that the story that we are being told in the education system, in the military, in the universities, is a false story about what happened in 1948.”
Hidden in the books were testimonies of massacres carried out by Zionist forces, he said, revealing how more than 700,000 Palestinians were forced to flee their homes in 1948 in what’s known as the Nakba, or catastrophe, and did not leave by choice, as the Israeli version of the story goes.
“We need to face that past, we need to face the Nakba, we need to take responsibility for it in order to let these two peoples live in peace with each other.” To decolonize minds, this historiography must be revised, he says, and the erasure of Arabic in the region reversed to remove those barriers to understanding.
“We don’t think like the others”
While Marton does see a slight increase in critical views among some of the Israeli youth, with more teenagers refusing military service, her hope for large-scale societal change any time soon is pretty much non-existent.
“The near future, it’s impossible,” she says. “Too many are in the frame of this Jewish supremacy, the land God promised us, the land, and whatever we are doing is right. And it’s very difficult to beat it, it is so convenient and…to feel that God is with you so people do not tend to change it.”
As such, Marton and Shenhav both agree that international intervention is needed to “salvage us from ourselves.”
Against the tide of uncritical Israeli Jews, for Shenhav, the letter is also a symbolic move to signal to the outside that “hey, we are here—we don’t share the same views of the rest of the people.”

VT: Here are the names, 1043 now as the list is growing. This is where the rubber meets the road, where moral leadership can be seen. Now ask yourself why no one in the Western Press has published a word of this, and if they have please let us know in the comments.
We, Jewish Israelis, oppose the actions of the Israeli government and hereby declare our commitment to act against them. We refuse to accept the Jewish-supremacist regime and call upon the international community to immediately intervene in defense of the Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, the Galilee, the Negev, al-Lydd, Yafa, Ramleh, Haifa and throughout historic Palestine.
Jewish supremacy is the cornerstone of the Israeli regime, and its consistent objective is to transfer and obliterate the Palestinian people, their history, and their national identity. This objective manifests in continued acts of ethnic cleansing by means of evictions and home demolitions, brutal military occupation, denial of civil and human rights, and legislation of a series of racist laws culminating in the Nation-State Bill, defining the State as “the Nation State of the Jewish People”, and them only.
All the above effectively form an Apartheid regime creating Bantustan-like and Ghetto-like areas for Palestinian native communities. We believe that Zionism is an unethical principle of governance that inherently leads to a racist Apartheid regime that has been committing war crimes and denying basic human rights from Palestinians for over seven decades. Such crimes and violations include: the destruction of hundreds of towns and villages and depopulating them of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948, alongside the active prevention of return of refugees; the systematic expropriation of Palestinians’ lands and transferring them to Jewish ownership under the auspices of the state; the occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights and the application of a colonizing military regime, ruling over millions of Palestinians; the gradual annexation of the territories occupied in 1967 by violently engineering demographics; the ongoing siege on the Gaza strip and persistent massacres of the Gazan population by the Israeli Air Force; political persecution of Palestinians throughout Palestine and the ongoing incitement against the political leadership and society at large; All of these atrocities take place due to the impunity Israel receives from the international community and especially the United States.
In recent weeks, the Israeli government has up-scaled its attempts to seize Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem (especially in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood) and house Jewish settlers in them with the aim of completing the Judaization of the city that began in 1967. During the month of Ramadan, Israeli forces intensified their violent onslaught on the Al Aqsa Mosque compound while giving settlers the green light to vandalize and physically harm Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem and throughout the ’48 territories. Mobs of settlers are acting under the auspices, and in coordination with the Israeli police. Israeli media is taking part in the unhinged incitement against Arab citizens of Israel. As a result, the Jewish mobs receive impunity for their violence, while hundreds of Palestinian citizens of Israel are arrested for protecting their homes and communities, or simply for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Every so often, Israel commits yet another massacre against the population of the Gaza ghetto, while refusing anitiatives and proposals for ceasefire with Palestinian organisations in the Gaza strip, and while insisting on the continued pulverization of residential neighborhoods in the Gaza strip and the perpetuation of the brutal siege imposed on approximately two million people.
As individuals who belong to the side of the oppressor, and that have tried for years to shift public opinion in Israel in order to change the foundations of the current regime, we have long come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the Jewish supremacist regime without external intervention.
We call upon the international community to intervene immediately in order to stop Israel’s current aggressions, to adopt the demands of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement; to work towards the actualization of the Palestinian Right of Return and to bring about historic justice; to reach a just and democratic solution for all, based on the decolonization of the region and founding a state of all its citizens.

So what they are saying is : “God” gave the AshkeNazis Palestine ?
Sort of like God gave the Nazis Poland?
(Gott mit Uns)
I would like to see that land Deed!
It seems that may be the there is a humanitarian element in Jewish people fighting against Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. In any case, I for one want to see more action before I am convinced of the true intentions of this movement.
“”” “we have long come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the Jewish supremacist regime without external intervention,” it reads.”””
That is the most powerful statement in the letter.
A “group” such as the majority of Jews who are hard-bound to the racist idea that they are truly created superior beings by birthright;
and that everyone else is a subhuman destined either to be eliminated or enslaved by Jews; and who have like-minded fellow Talmudists in control of so much world power, that “group” will “never willingly” come down off their high horse.
“This is the first published mention of a Jim Dean pet peeve, which poses the question, why have the terms ‘Jewish Supremacist’ and ‘Israeli Supremacist’ never made it into the international media lexicon?”
My pet peeve is the free pass Christian Zionism is given in the USA. They fully support what the European Ashkenazim are doing in Palestine. Pastor John Hagee once claimed that “50 million bible-reading Christians united with 5 million [Ashkenazim] is a marriage made in Heaven.” Hell is more like it. 80% of them voted for Trump in the last election. His foreign policy toward Israel and the Arabs was shaped by them, including killing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran, moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and doing everything he could to initiate a war with Iran. If you didn’t notice the religious frenzy of those who who attacked the Capitol on 1/6, you weren’t paying attention, Jim.
“religious frenzy of those who attacked the Capitol”
“religious” is the correct word
Real Christians, whether in a “frenzy” or not, would never “attack” anyone.
Totally agree, Elvin. Real Christianity is about the Sermon on the Mount, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you… You know, the really hard stuff.
