The modern state of Israel was meant to be a safe haven for Jews. Instead, after eight decades of Zionist policies culminating in the Gaza genocide, Israel has become the most dangerous place for Jews in the world. What went wrong?This study goes to the very roots of the problem: The Jewish spiritual religion, meaning Judaism; the Jewish historical religion, meaning the Holocaust; and the Jewish political religion, meaning Zionism.Passages from the Hebrew Bible are quoted and discussed where God commits, endorses or even demands wars, conquest and genocide. Certain xenophobic statements in other Jewish religious texts (Talmud, Schulchan Aruch) compound the resulting Jewish attitudes toward non-Jews, leading to an endorsement of collective violence and ethnic exclusivity.This book then shows how the Holocaust has become more important for Jewish identity than religion. Holocaust inculcation of children in schools resulted in generations suffering from secondary trauma. This trauma, combined with persecution paranoia, has caused Jews, but also many non-Jews, to see the 'other' (Arab, Muslim) primarily as an existential threat. In times of tensions, this results in 'preemptive' aggression and violence. Several examples show how central tenets that are taught about the Holocaust are profoundly wrong or incomplete. This exposes Holocaust 'education' as a tool of social engineering rather than pursuit of truth.This is followed by an examination of modern Israel’s history of ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide. A red thread runs from statements by early Zionist leaders, through events during modern Israel’s birth in 1947/1948, via the Six-Day War and the subsequent occupational policies of Palestinian territories, to the events unfolding in Gaza today.The book closes by offering a path toward healing: unrestricted debate about Judaism, Zionism and the Holocaust, an end to child traumatization in classrooms, and insisting on the First-Amendment guarantee of freedom from the Jewish religions.
