The Essence of Zionism
Alexander Dugin discusses the Satanic nature of Zionism and its perversion of genuine Judaism.
Zionism is the state ideology of Israel. Why do Jews believe they are the chosen people? What is the significance of the Jewish diaspora as a Jewish tradition? Why is Zionism, on one hand, a continuation of Judaism and, on the other, its refutation?
Like any religion, Judaism has many dimensions. Speaking about it simplistically, either in praise or condemnation, is primitive.
Judaism is tied to the belief that Jews are the chosen people (primarily in a religious sense). Their goal is to await the Messiah, who will be the King of Israel. Thus, their religion is associated with the anticipation of the Messiah.
According to Judaism, at the beginning of the first millennium, Jews went into the diaspora. The Second Temple was destroyed, marking the start of a two-thousand-year history of their dispersion. This era is part of the Jewish tradition. The purpose is to atone for Israel’s sins accumulated during previous historical periods. If this atonement is genuine and the repentance profound, then according to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will appear, signifying the blessing of the chosen people. In this case, the return of Jews to Israel, the establishment of an independent statehood, and the creation of the Third Temple will ensue.
This is the structure of the Jewish culture of anticipation. The most consistent representatives of this approach are the fundamentalists from the Neturei Karta movement. They say that the Jewish God commanded to endure the hardships of exile, so one must wait for the end and atone for sins. And when the Messiah comes, one can return to the Promised Land.
Zionism is Jewish Satanism, Satanism within Judaism, overturning all its foundations.
How did it happen that the state has already been established and prohibitions have been violated? To understand why modern Israel is in complete contradiction with the Jewish religion, one needs to go back to the seventeenth century, to the era of the pseudo-Messiah Shabbtai Tzvi, the herald of Zionism. He claimed he was the Messiah, and therefore Jews could return to Israel. The fate of Shabbtai Tzvi is sorrowful. When he arrived at the Ottoman sultan with claims to Palestine, he was given a choice: either be beheaded or convert to Islam. Then something strange happened: Shabbtai Tzvi converted to Islam. At that time, this was a major disappointment for Jewish communities.
However, followers of Shabbtai Tzvi (Sabbateanism) appeared – especially his teachings spread among Ashkenazi and Eastern European Jews. The Hasidic movement developed in parallel, which had no eschatological or messianic orientation but disseminated Kabbalistic teachings among ordinary people.
In some Sabbatean sects (particularly among the Frankists in Poland), a theology arose: supposedly, Shabbtai Tzvi was the real Messiah and made the transition to Islam deliberately; thus, he committed a ‘sacred betrayal’ (he betrayed Judaism to hasten the coming of the Messiah).
By such logic, one can easily convert to other religions. Jacob Frank, for instance, first converted to Islam, then to Catholicism, arguing that Jews consume Christian infants. He completely violated all forms of Talmudism and betrayed his faith – but Frank’s secret doctrine suggested that after the seventeenth century, the very notion of the Messiah changed. Now, the Jews themselves became the Messiah – there is no need to wait for him, so even if you betray your religion, you are holy – you are God.
Thus, an intellectual environment for Zionism was created. Zionism is Jewish Satanism, Satanism within Judaism, overturning all its foundations. If in Judaism one must await the coming of the Messiah, then in Zionism, a Jew is already God. This is followed by violations of the Talmudic commandments.
This leads to specific relations between Zionism and Judaism. On the one hand, Zionism is a continuation of Judaism; on the other, it is its refutation. Zionists say there is nothing left to repent for; they have suffered enough, and they are God.
This explains the peculiarity of the modern Zionist state, which relies not just on Israel but also on secular Jews, Jewish liberals, Jewish communists, Jewish capitalists, Jewish Christians, Jewish Muslims, Jewish Hindus, etc., all of whom represent the network of Frankism – each of them can comfortably commit a sacred betrayal, build a state, assert global dominance, and establish a ban on criticising Zionism (in some American states, criticising the state of Israel is equated to anti-Semitism).
The only step left for them is to blow up the Al-Aqsa Mosque and begin the construction of the Third Temple. Incidentally, funds for the investigation of the Temple Mount have already been allocated by the Knesset – everything is moving in this direction.
How can one quell a conflict with such deep metaphysical roots through appeals to the UN, with phrases like ‘let’s reconcile’ or ‘let’s observe human rights’? In the Palestinian conflict, they have long disregarded these human rights. Moreover, we hear increasingly absurd statements from them – for instance, accusing people of anti-Semitism who are actually defending the Semitic Palestinians.
If we step beyond the hypnosis, the fog of nonsense, and the postmodernist defragmentation of consciousness, we shall see a very intriguing and terrifying picture of what is happening in the Middle East.
Yes, and in America, we have this same notion of victimhood bestowing omnipotence. Hypocrisy and contradictory behavior doesn't matter. Whatever a God thinks at the moment must be right since a God thought it hence, the ruling elites simply emote rather than think. It's pure egotism i.e. satanic.
I'd also add the Apocalyptic Mythology of WW2 in which the "holocaust" plays the central role in Jewish victimhood and prohibition of any criticism as "hate speech" originating with the "original sin" of "Nazism" which has become "White Supremacism" in general. which was defeated for all time in the epic, global struggle of WW2 between good and evil which is why we must forever be vigilant i.e. "Never Again!" : it was so much fun first time! Of course, WW2 began as a border dispute much like that in the Donbas today and the borders Hitler "violated" had been well within German territory before the Peace treaties of Paris had moved them. England's support of French revenge rendered the dispute global, rather than deter it, replicating the beginnings of WW1. The sanctity of Urkaine's borders plays the same role as Poland's 84 years ago. So, it's "Never Again", all over again, with America playing "Perfidious Albion".
The Hamas OCt 7 attack has stirred the pot, though. After 911, American Isreal Lobby saw Muslims as another minoriy they had to protect less another pogrom, both under the Democrats-RINO coalition. Now, at total odds, the Democrats have a major split to contend with hence a "national Islamophobia strategy". Republicans tended toward Natenyahu's tough stance but now face war weary conservatives disillusioned by Iraq and other revelations as well as Likud's blatant visciousness while historical revision plods relentlessly howvever slow.
Listing out a few arguments I am understanding from Dugin's writing:
Here are some of the key arguments from the article expressed as syllogisms:
𝑝1: According to traditional Judaism, and as their atonement, Jews must wait in exile for the Messiah to come and establish Israel as the homeland.
𝑝2: Zionism established Israel as a homeland without waiting for the Messiah.
𝑝2.1: These Zionists skipped the atonement process.
𝑐: Therefore, Zionism contradicts traditional Judaism.
The example given is The followers of the pseudo-Messiah Shabbtai Tzvi spread the idea that Jews could return to Israel without waiting for the Messiah.
This idea helped create an intellectual environment that supported Zionism's goal of establishing Israel without waiting.
Therefore, Shabbtai Tzvi's followers contributed to the development of Zionism.
𝑝1: Shabbtai Tzvi deliberately converted to Islam as a "sacred betrayal" to hasten the Messiah.
𝑝2: This allowed for justifying converting to other religions while still claiming to be acting holy.
𝑐: This greater religious flexibility abandons traditional Jewish practices, which supported Zionism's non-traditional approach.
Additionally
𝑝1: According to traditional Judaism, Jews must await the Messiah in exile and atone for sins.
𝑝2: Movements like Neturei Karta advise Jews should endure exile and await the Messiah without establishing Israel themselves.
𝑐: Therefore, the Neturei Karta movement's position is more consistent with traditional Judaism than Zionism.
Further, Jews like Jacob Frank (claiming Jews consume Christian infants) was part of his theology developed from Sabbatean sects. This theology justified converting to other religions while still claiming holiness. Therefore, Jacob Frank's theology further undermined traditional Jewish practices and opened the door for Zionism's non-traditional approach.
𝑝1: In traditional Judaism, Jews are the chosen people awaiting the Messiah in exile as they atone for sins.
𝑝2: Zionism established Israel without waiting for the Messiah, going against the Jewish tradition of exile and anticipation.
𝑐: Therefore, Zionism represents a rejection and inversion of traditional Jewish beliefs and roles.
𝑝1: Dugin characterizes Zionism as "Jewish Satanism, Satanism within Judaism."
𝑝2: Satanism involves inverting or contradicting a religious tradition.
𝑐: Dugin characterizes Zionism as inverting or contradicting the traditions of Judaism and justifies the label of "Satanic".
In the same way that Satanism contradicts or inverts a religious tradition. The article portrays Zionism as a form of "Jewish Satanism" that overturns the foundations of Judaism, consistent with the definition of Satanism as inverting or contradicting a religious tradition.
Overall 𝑐: Zionism is the ideology of the state of Israel, it perverts genuine Judaism.
Overall 𝑐2: Zionism relies not just on religious Jews but also secular and other-faith Jews who see betraying their faith as "sacred."
Overall 𝑐3: The conflict has deep metaphysical roots that human rights appeals cannot address due to long-disregarded Palestinian rights and the aforementioned movements of Zionism disregarding tradition.
