Watch: US broadcaster Mike Malloy wipes the floor with Israel apologistsReasoning with a Zionist is an oxymoron. It is as self-contradictory as saying something is falsely true.
This, we have no doubt, is the conclusion everyone who has tried to have a rational, fact-based debate with Zionists would have drawn.
If that is also your experience - or if you have never had the misfortune of debating with a Zionist - then you will want to listen to the two short clips below from Mike Malloy's radio show.
For those who don't know him, Malloy is a self-syndicated American radio broadcasterfrom Atlanta, Georgia, who describes himself as "a traditional liberal democrat doing his part to return the Democratic Party to its liberal roots".
In this clip, he routs a Zionist caller who uses the jaded argument that Israel, the aggressor and occupier, has a right to defend its ill-gotten gains.
And in the clip below Malloy wipes the floor with another Zionist who objects to his criticism of the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu
Comment: The are a few reasons why Mike Malloy - or anyone for that matter - cannot explain to or enlighten zionists as to why Binyamin Netanyahu and the government of Israel are behaving psychopathically. The first is that most zionists are programmed from a
very early age to believe that Israel must defend itself; that's to say that Israel must defend itself, and, also, Israel must defend itself. In other words, Israel must defend itself. That's it. There is NOTHING -
ever, provided in the way of objective facts or a true history of the conflict to let them understand that the Palestinians were, and still are, victims of a very systematic program of
Ethnic Cleansing.
Secondly, the pathological programming that is zionism is hard-wired. This means that most people would have to undergo a great deal of mental and emotional pain to even bring themselves to the point of being receptive to the idea that they may be wrong about what they believe. How many people are willing to undergo such pain since it is so much easier to go with what they 'know' and remain comfortable with the programs they've lived with for so long?
The usual propaganda states that one side MUST be good, and therefore, the "other side" MUST be entirely evil. By demonizing so-called "Zionists", you do the same that you accuse them of- being emotional instead of logical. The truth is that there are psychopaths in every party, every nation and every religion.
Those of you who have read Jacques Ellul's "Propaganda" know that stereotypes and demonizing and dehumanizing are one of the ways to persuade others to "think" correctly.
Ask yourself- WHY are so many Palestinians dying and suffering? Only a few years back, during the last Intifada, a busload of Israeli children, teenagers at a disco, at a pizza parlor were also dying. ALL IN THE NAME OF IDEOLOGY, which means that the POLITICIANS do not want to compromise for PEACE! Hamas has murdered countless Palestinians, as well, yet the author does not address this. Apparently, the suffering of Palestinians only has meaning when JEWS have done it!!!
Sadly, many of those protesting are doing the Palestinians a disservice by using hateful antisemitic slogans, Nazi swastikas, etc. and are thereby delegitimizing their message and preventing meaning dialogue about the conflict.
In order to make peace, Israel and the Palestinians must recognize each other. There can be no peace if either side believes the other does not exist. Originally, the British mandate called for two states, an Arab state and a Jewish state. Arabs at that time rejected it, resulting in war and invasion, and since 1949, the problem of what to do with the displaced Palestinians has never been addressed.
