DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17388866 Page 50 Introduction When one understands the ontology of Zionism, one cannot remain neutral or a supporter of Zionism. The ontology of Zionism is dark, cruel, and criminal. Zionism has taken over not only the land of other people but also the heritage and culture of the Israelites. What the West is not questioning is the disproportionate acts of violence, apartheid, and occupation by the Zionists against the native people of the land called Palestine. Even if the people of Palestine started the invasion of a ―hypothetical continuously long existing Zionist Israel,‖ still such Zionist disproportionate acts would not be justified. The discussion starts with a clear understanding of Zionism. It discusses how Zionism is different from Judaism and is a nationalist ethnic movement. It elaborates on the difference between a Jew of the Bible and a spiritually converted Jew. It also discusses the fate of the Biblical Israelites and how they are relevant to the concept of the promised land vis-à-vis modern-day spiritual Jews. After establishing these foundational concepts, the discussion elaborates on the issue of Palestine, the criminal mind and act of Israel and the Zionists, and concludes the need for international legal accountability of Israel and the Zionists and the justification of the Palestinian resistance. What are Zionism, Judaism, and Jews Zionism often uses the defense of Jewish heritage and connection with Palestine. However, the Jew of the Bible is not the same as a Zionist. A biblical Jew is a biological, ethnic, and geographic identity, mainly someone who is a member of the tribe and kingdom of Judah, so today we only have spiritual Jews and not biblical Jews 1 . The distinction between Biblical Jews and spiritual Jews is an important one when it comes to the Biblical covenant of God with the Israelites 2 and their claim to Palestine. This is why many orthodox Jews reject the statehood of Israel 3 because they say only the Messiah, who is an Israelite and a direct descendant of Abraham, can claim God’s promised land. The Israelites and Modern Jew What happened to the Israelites? The Biblical Jews, i.e., the Israelites, dispersed into Europe and the Middle East, such as the Roman Empire, Syria, Arabia, Iran, etc., and over the centuries they converted, absorbed into the native population, and migrated in and out of Palestine. For example, the Kingdom of Israel was crushed by the Assyrians (722 BCE) and its people were carried off into exile and oblivion. Over a hundred years later, Babylonia conquered the Prosecuting Israel and the Zionists Mohammad m Rahman Northumbria University, Department of Psychology Corresponding Author: Mohammad m Rahman Northumbria University, Department of Psychology Zionists are usurpers of Palestinian lands and Israelite heritage. Modern Jews are not Biblical Jews, so God's covenant does not apply to them. Only the Messiah can establish the rule of God in the promised land, and that includes stoning to death, punishing homosexuals, and banning adultery, among other things. Zionism and Zionists have both criminal minds and criminal acts, so they are liable to be prosecuted, convicted, and punished. It is a nationalist movement rather than a Messianic one. Palestinian resistance is a morally and internationally recognized act of self-defense against European Zionist nationalism.

These Middle Eastern people who are overwhelmingly Muslims today are thus the closest to the descendants of the Israelites. Also, consider the fact that ancient Philistines 4 were too absorbed into the native Middle Eastern population. Even the Israelites were never natives of Palestine 5 . Who are the modern-day Jews? Many of them are from Ashkenazi and Western Turkic Khazar people. ―Ashkenaz‖ in Hebrew refers to Germany, and Ashkenazi Jews are those who originated in Eastern Europe 6 . Research has also identified ―ancient Ashkenaz‖ as a region in northeastern Turkey that harbors four primeval villages whose names resemble Ashkenaz, and research findings are compatible with the hypothesis of an Irano-Turko-Slavic origin for Ashkenazi Jews and a Slavic origin for their Yiddish language 7 . The most striking characteristic of the Khazar was the apparent adoption of Judaism by the khagan and the greater part of the ruling class between 740 and 920 CE 8 . After their conversion, it is reported that they adopted the Hebrew script 9 . The conversion of the Khazars to Judaism is reported by external sources and in the Khazar Correspondence 10 . The conversion started with the elites and was then followed by the masses. It is thus clear that the Biblical covenant does not apply to modern-day Jews. Even though some scholars, rather weakly, would say modern Jews have a Levantine ancestry consisting of less than 40% of their DNA but it still does not show that today’s Jews are direct descendants of the Israelites. Firstly, 70% of modern Jewish DNA is mixed with foreigners, and the Bible forbade Israelites from marrying foreigners 11 . Secondly, even if today’s Jews are truly Levantine still, we cannot say that they are Israelites. Levantine consisted of not only Israelites but also other ethnicities such as Philistines, Phoenicians, Assyrians, etc. These ethnicities were genetically and culturally more or less similar 12 . Is it not reasonable that all these ethnicities living in the same place did not marry each other? The Bible says the Israelites turned into idol worship and accepted the culture of the pagans, which would imply they might have also married across ethnicities outside Israelites 13 . Between the 10th century BC and the beginning of Jewish exile in 586 BC, polytheism was normal throughout Israel 14 15 . According to William Dever's book “Did God Have a Wife?” several temples were dedicated to polytheistic deities, contradicting the claim that there was only one temple dedicated to YHWH 16 . The Palestinian Issue When we talk of Palestine and its people, we are not primarily talking of a state in the sense of nationhood and international law. Still, land with its people is why we must not go into the technicalities of statehood but appeal to equity and the most basic moral conscience of right to life and property. These have been denied by Zionism and Zionists through ethnic cleansing and mass immigration of European Jews 17 . A year before the UN adoption of the Resolution, the Arab population of Palestine comprised 68 percent of the total and owned about 85 percent of the land; the Jewish population comprised about one-third of the total and owned about 7 percent of the land 18 . Prosecuting Israel and The Criminal Mind of the Zionists This criminal mindset and action of Zionism and Zionists continue to this day. What needs to be asked is whether the resistance against Zionism is a logical and lawful action? Israel has breached international law, 19 and under international law, Palestine (Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem) is occupied 20 , and a state of war exists because Israel has frequently sent or maintained its armed forces in these territories and even attacked, killing civilians 21 , including the presence of armed settlers in the occupied territories also pose a threat to the security of the Palestinian people, armed settlers who even at times protected by Israeli armed forces 22 . To prosecute Israel, one must establish the criminal intent and criminal act followed by a guilty mind. There is a history of a criminal mindset among Zionist leaders. Several influential Zionist leaders in their functional capacities have expressed the desire and firm resolution to forcefully evict Palestinians, forcefully immigrate Jews, conquer Palestinian lands, forcefully confiscate Palestinian lands, mass expulsion of Palestinians, and colonize Palestine 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 . Prosecuting Israel and The Criminal act of the Zionists Criminal acts followed by a guilty mind have violated the Genocide conventions and various instruments of international law: Massacre of peasants in Dawaymeh 1948, massacre in Deir Yassin, 1948, massacre in the cities of Lydda and Ramle 1948, Qibya massacre 1953, Khan Yunis massacre 1956, Rafah massacre 1856, the cave of Patriarch massacre 1994, Participation and assistance in the Sabra and Shatila massacre, forceful deportation of Palestinians, blockade of Gaza and engineering suffering and calculated demise, disproportionate use of force and wanton destruction of civilian properties in Operation Cast Lead 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 . Prosecuting the state of Israel and the Zionists due to subscribing to the ideology of Zionism is an urgent and necessary duty of humanity and Western powers. It is also essential to support the Palestinian resistance by all means possible. Resistance to practicing the right of self-determination to achieve independence from occupation, both military and armed settlers, is a fundamental right of the Palestinian resistance in modern international law 40 . Conclusion If Zionism is ―The national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel (i.e., Palestine)‖ without the addition of the term ―resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel through the consent of the Palestinians,‖ then indeed it is as what UN GA resolution has stated concerning its racist nature 41 , indeed it is capable of instigating like Nazism all the international crimes that have been discussed here. 1 Harry Ostrer MD (2012).
