Wow. You sound like you pop your emotions in a bag.
if you mean put my emotions in a bag, yes, I don't have emotions for online discourse. Emotions are for my family, friends and real life companions and at certain periods in time, my work.
Every action you take effects others. Ethnic Nationalism has a history of great harm to others. Even if it is a sign of stupidity, which may be the case sometimes, it harms. You are right though that the term 'evil' does not help whoever it is labelled at.
Again, it's not ethnic nationalism in itself that is bad. it's the way it can be implement that makes it bad.
Maybe I am still not getting you. If you accuse me of bad nationalism or ethnic nationalism I would be offended.
I cannot control you and what you will feel offended by. It's not within my power, so I don't bother. FYI. When someone says that they are offended, they are announcing that they are not in control of their emotions so someone has to regulate that for them. It's a sign of mental fragility.
Generally ethnic and civil Nationalism are quoted. Civil being when all the citizens of the State also have nationality of the State. Ethnic which favours one ethnicity to the detriment of all others. I do not know of any other Nationalism. Inform me.
religious nationalism. something you can observe in islam for instance or in hinduism.
which is - it hasn't happened yet.
The conclusion of what you end up. It doesn't matter why you are a zionist, all that matters is that you are. The motives why you are can be as varied as anything.
I am thinking some of our problems may be with English not being your first language. Ethnic nationalism does not come from something inherent in any ethnicity, it is a choice. With Israel it seems to have come from Germany in the first half of the 20th C. It is a choice and it can be changed.
No... ethnic nationalism comes inherent with every ethnicity. How we chose to manifest it is up to us.
Christian Zionism comes from when bibles became available in the 16th C. Puritan Protestant's decided then that Jews had to go back to Israel. Christian Zionists decided on it before Jews and the end game is Armageddon.
Christians were also extremely antisemitic. Since the holocaust because of their long history of antisemitism most of them have felt scared to say boo to Israel even concerning the well being of Palestinian Christians. The Church of Scotland came out with a paper trying to get them to understand that their interpretation of the bible which says that Jews have an inherent right to live in Palestine/Israel is a wrong interpretation. Of course all hell was let loose. It was called 'The inheritance of Abraham? A report on the ‘promised land’'. It was available to download on pdf but after the uproar it is no longer available.
The Christian Zionists and the Nat religious or neo zionists in Israel are together the problem and the end result is death for most Jews and I think most of us....so at base I would say the problem is fanatical religion again.
I really tried to avoid bringing up WW2 events as much as possible because once we fall down that rabbit hole, the whole thread goes to hell because WW2 discussions are like an internet virus.
The holocaust has nothing to do with Christianity.
People have been trying to promote the existence or illegality of Israel ever since it was founded using all manner of reasons. The dumbest reason is that the OT in the Bible is a sort of a real-estate document. Which it isn't.
As for anti-semitism. Anti-semitism doesn't start just like that. Anti-semitism started because of a chain of events, and endless cycle. Here's a scenario.
The rabbinic order encourages jews to remain segregated. People distrust other people who are not like them. Tensions start to form. The rabbinic order, because of the rising tensions, promotes more segregation in ghettos. Jews should marry jews and keep it all in the "family" as it were. tensions keep rising. Do you see where I'm going with it?
Eventually people start justifying hatred against the jews and pogroms ensue, hailed and encouraged by people, members of the clergy most likely, who wish to gain political power at that time. It's easy to promote violence against an group that self-segregates and gives reasons for doubt... and with the right quotes and manipulation of the rhetoric from a very old holy book, even easier.
This is of course, a scenario. One I think it's very common in history.
