What do Arch-antisemite Adolf Hitler of Yesteryear and Today\u2019s Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee Have in Common?\u00a0 More Than You Think<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In today\u2019s world, Christian Zionist Fanaticism espoused by Mike Huckabee and the Jewish Supremacy that Zionist Israel embodies, pose the single gravest threat to world peace and inter-faith harmony among world\u2019s populations.<\/p>\n

On the surface, Adolf Hitler and US Ambassador to Israel Rev. Mike Huckabee have nothing in common.<\/p>\n

But upon closer look, their diametrically opposing ideologies with respect to the single demographic category, namely the Jewish people, ought to be seen as equally toxic.<\/p>\n

Both are gravest threats to world peace (that is, the general well-being and safety of the humanity at large), though their strongly held convictions are rooted in two radically different world views,<\/p>\n

To belabour the obvious, Hitler\u2019s world view was anchored in his obsessive Jew hatred which led to the categorical dehumanization and demonization of the Jewish people as a category to exterminate.\u00a0As Untermensch<\/em>,<\/b> or subhumans, Jews didn\u2019t deserve to live–such was the essence of his ideology.<\/p>\n

Huckabee\u2019s view is the unconditional love of Jews as \u201cGod\u2019s chosen people\u201d with their divine right to West Asia\u2019s land and world leadership.\u00a0 That is, even if it means the entire region burns, harmony or peaceful coexistence amongst different faith-based nations and communities gets destroyed, and the world\u2019s economy end in ruins, as the US-Israel war against Iran has begun to do.<\/p>\n

It is worth stressing that Hitler\u2019s race-supremacist (Aryan) convictions as spelled out in in his Mein Kampf <\/em>(first published in 1925) and the resultant Nazi policies and the World War II they ignited claimed the lives of 60 million humans the world over.\u00a0 While Nazis got the bad press, and deservedly so, their race-supremacist ideology was based on the 19th<\/sup> century Europe\u2019s pseudo-science of race and racial hierarchy led to extermination camps, and the devastating World War II.<\/p>\n

For the non-Europeans, in the European colonized world outside, German Nazism and European Colonialisms differed only in degree (of their savagery and cruelty), but not in kind.<\/p>\n

That said, what Hitler did was this: he adopted the quintessentially Christian Europe\u2019s race and faith-supremacist racism and applied it to Europe\u2019s integral populations while seeking to genocidally expand the living space (land) for his fellow Aryan race, Reich\u2019s chosen people, at the expense of \u201csub- or under-humans\u201d (both western and eastern European Jews) and \u201cinferior races\u201d (such as Poles, Sinti and Romani, Slavs, etc.).<\/p>\n

Hitler justified his genocidal land acquisition through wars of aggression in the language of racial superiority of State\u2019s chosen people, the Aryan, their need for living space, their need for greater food system, their need for racial purity.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, these anti-human ideas as state-adopted ideologies were not confined exclusively to White and Christian Supremacist European societies and states, albeit their degrees of death and devastation had global impact: Europe\u2019s fire powers, economic muscle and geographic and demographic control were far greater than that of the sole Fascist state in Asia, namely Imperial Japan.<\/p>\n

Anchored in its \u201cWe-are-the-Descendants-of-the-Sun\u201d race supremacist ideology, imperial Japan under Emperor Hirohito and his military leader and Prime Minister General Togyo, waged wars of aggression across the Far East and Southeast Asia, all the way to the Indo-Burmese borders.\u00a0 As Japan expanded territorial control and military domination, local populations under its occupation were enslaved for Tokyo\u2019s war needs and sexual needs of its Fascist troops on the march towards the British India where Japan sought, unsuccessfully, to supplant the British colonial rule with its Fascist rule, while perpetrating a textbook genocide in Manchuria, and on Korea, which it had already annexed colonially.<\/p>\n

Compared to the enormity of race-supremacist Fascist crimes which ended with the two major international military tribunals, Nuremberg and Tokyo, what the lowly US Ambassador in Jerusalem espouses publicly should not be assigned undue or outsized policy significance, one may contend.<\/p>\n

After all, ambassadors, politically appointed or careerists, serve at the pleasure of their bosses at home, and hence, can be removed at the drop of a hat, despite the status and prestige such posts bestow on them.<\/p>\n

However, Huckabee is not just another diplomatic representative among hundreds around the world.\u00a0 He is a leading American Christian Zionist from a country where Christian Zionist voters, churches and networks form a formidable, if unofficial, pillar of the Israel Lobby in USA.<\/p>\n

While Zionaires (or Zionist billionaires) hold considerable sway over the \u201cIsrael-right-or-wrong\u201d US policy since the assassination of JFK in 1963, thought to be linked to Israel, the sheer number of Christian Zionist votes whip American politicians to keep Washington\u2019s unconditional support for Israel flowing.<\/p>\n

Nearly eight decades after the genocidal founding of Israel \u2013 Google the original Nakba of 1948 – as the Jewish majority state on the Arab majority soil of Israel, the ideology of Jewish Supremacy of Zionists, amongst both the Jewish diaspora and Israeli Jews in Israel, poses one of the gravest threats to harmony and peace amongst the diverse human populations that make up nearly 200 official member states of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The US-based Pew Research Center conducted a opinion survey in three dozen UN member states, mostly after the US-Israel\u2019s joint war of aggression against Iran on Feb. 28.\u00a0\u00a0 It found that a median of 67% of the surveyed adults hold negative views towards Israel.\u00a0 While the Muslim-majority countries and places such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Turkey, the West Bank and East Jerusalem hold acutely negative view of Israel European and other non-Muslim majority populations in Asia and Latin America still hold a significantly negative view of Israel.\u00a0 Only in India, itself soaked in the Hindutva (Far Right Islamophobic Nationalism with a Hindu veneer) and sub-Saharan countries (such as Nigeria, S. Africa, Kenya and Ghana, presumably with strong enclaves of Christian Zionists) did the locals view Israel positively.<\/p>\n

Since the end of the World War II, that is, post-Holocaust, the centuries-old-brazen European imperialisms with their twofold signature policies and practices of White and Christian Supremacy, have been supplanted with global governing institutions and the (guiding) international law of which the non-binding Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the binding Conventions on genocide, torture, war crimes etc.<\/p>\n

Today, the United States, under the growing influence of Christian Zionism \u2013 which Mike Huckabee and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth aggressively promote \u2013 and Israel under the control of two leading Messianic Fascists, namely Smotrich and Ben Gvir, both ICC-wanted, have set the historical clock, not simply pre-WWII decades of the 1920\u2019s and 1930\u2019s, but to the early days of Christian Europe\u2019s genocidal land and resource grabs in the so-called New World by Christopher Columbus which began in 1492.<\/p>\n

This European land grab and resource loot came to be blessed by the Catholic Church and the political states of Spain and Portugal.\u00a0 Both religious and political\/feudal institutions rested on the twin supremacy of faith and race vis-\u00e0-vis the non-European people, or a \u201cpeople without history\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget, for several centuries in Judaeo-Christian Europe, Transatlantic Slave Trade and Enslavement of the kidnapped Africans, and slaughter of indigenous populations for want of their land, were deemed in sync with Lord\u2019s moral sentiments, philosophies of \u201cthe European Enlightenment\u201d and European juridical thoughts.<\/p>\n

Past is not even the past.\u00a0 It lives on in our troubled times.\u00a0\u00a0 Humanity has been here before.<\/p>\n

It is worth revisiting that in his diplomatically disastrous 3-hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson, the US Ambassador Huckabee in February this year, the Arch Christian Zionist unequivocally told his old Christian conservative interviewer Israel has the divine right to take all land \u201cfrom the Euphrates to the Nile\u201d, based on his reading of the Book of Genesis. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Twice, the International Court of Justice had issued its legal opinion, stating that Israel building settlements in the pre-1967 Palestine is in clear breach of international law, [not to mention grabbing more sovereign lands in Syria and Southern Lebanon, (as well as potentially parts of Iraq, Saudi Arabia and T\u00fcrkiye as Tel Aviv\u2019s Eretz Israel–greater biblical Israel–envisages)].<\/p>\n

A week ago, in his 14-minutes Commencement Address at Yeshiva University, Israel\u2019s traditional rabbinical institution which conferred on him Presidential Medal for Outstanding Global Leadership, Ambassador Reverend Huckabee pledges his personal \u201ceternal obligation\u201d, as a Christian, to do everything in his power to protect the Jewish people, God\u2019s Chosen people on the Promised Land of Israel.<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, Huckabee announced that his three generations, that is, daughter who now is the Governor of Arkansas, the elected office which he previously held, and her 3-children, are prepared to advocate for and protect Israel as the promised land of God\u2019s Chosen People.<\/p>\n

In a single speech which drew thunderous applause from Israeli students, faculty, parents and any other Israeli in the packed audience, the American fanatic in his official diplomatic capacity chose to elevate the Bible, both the Jewish Tora and the New Testament of Christians above international law, designed to prevent future holocausts and another world war.<\/p>\n

Emphatically, the scriptural validity of any faith-based doctrine is necessarily confined to the believers, whatever the name of the faith.\u00a0 In a world where there are multiple faith systems and non-faith-based communities with hundreds of millions of human persons, to establish the primacy of one\u2019s own chosen religious faith or holy scripture is to stoke worldwide resentment, fear, and loathing of the elevated faith (s) and faith-based populations.<\/p>\n

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief guarantee freedom of religion, that is individuals are entitled to chose their own faith religion.<\/p>\n

But, no one is entitled to impose one\u2019s faith-based views on the rest of the world who may not share the same faith or believe in the validity of any and all scriptures, again whatever the name of the faith.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Huckabee\u2019s biblically based personal obligations to protect his God\u2019s promised land inhabited by the Chosen people, after the \u201c3,800 years of unbroken link\u201d with the land is even more troubling in the light of Israelis continuing victim-livestreamed genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Israel is giving Southern Lebanese people \u201cthe Gaza treatment\u201d (ethnic cleansing and genocidal scorched earth or total destruction), having violently displaced 1 million people in a matter of several weeks.<\/p>\n

The Israeli Defence Force has been ordered to take control of 70% of devastated Gaza enclave, squeezing the enclave\u2019s population into an ever smaller area while maintaining the medieval siege.<\/p>\n

The ICC has recently issued an arrest warrant for the Far-Right Religious Zionist party leader and Finance Minister Bezale Smotrich, who declared the establishment of more than 100 (illegal) new Jewish settlements in the West Bank, in blatant disregard for the overwhelming UN General Assembly resolutions, international law, and legal opinion by the United Nations\u2019 principal judicial organ called the International Court of Justice.<\/p>\n

Israel has enacted race-based Death Penalty only for Palestinians held in Israel\u2019s prisons where they are routinely subjected to torture, rape and various forms of sexual violence including rape by Israel-trained prison dogs.<\/p>\n

According to the renowned anti-Zionist Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, 94% of the Israeli Jewish population inside Israel welcome and support Netanyahu\u2019s war of aggression against Iran, and they want Israel to continue with this war, with or without Washington\u2019s support.\u00a0 Whether Israel with no strategic military depths or enough troops, without the United States joining is another matter altogether.<\/p>\n

Nor do the Israeli Jews care how the illegal and unprovoked war against Iran has already resulted in extreme economic hardships for billions of people around the world because it has disrupted majorly the flow and production of fertilizer, feed stocks, gas and oil, and other petrochemical products necessary for global economy.<\/p>\n

Today, Israel as a UN member state is awaiting the ICJ\u2019s final verdict in the Palestine genocide case, its top leaders face multiple arrest warrants and its society widely hated \u2013 as evidenced in the findings of the Pew Research Center survey of 30+ countries globally.<\/p>\n

All things Israel today are hated, resented and opposed worldwide, at least at the grassroots level, not because of Judaism and their identity as Jews, but because of Israel and Israelis\u2019 vile sadistic racism and genocidal deeds towards 7 million Palestinian people under Israel\u2019s occupation since 1967.<\/p>\n

The fact that Huckabee would pledge repeatedly to \u201ceternally protect\u201d this Israel and its Israelis should be seen as nothing short of an expression of biblical fanaticism, bordering on Fascism with the veneer of Christianity.<\/p>\n

What Huckabee had done in his Yeshiva University Commencement addressed is simply the inversion of Hitlerite\u2019s race essentialism:\u00a0 Hitler demonised and dehumanized \u201cthe Jews\u201d, scapegoating German Jews for all the economic and social ills Germany suffered after the humiliating defeat in the World War I while Huckabee effectively deified ALL<\/em> Jews and reinforced the Jewish Supremacist self-perception that came to define Zionism and permeates all Zionist spaces.<\/p>\n

Neither demonization and dehumanization of Jewish people \u2013 or for that matter, any demographic category \u2013nor their deification or elevation will end well.\u00a0\u00a0 We know what eventually happened when Jewish people were demonized and dehumanized.\u00a0 We can also see the Israel-linked economic instability, unending Israel-instigated wars in West Asia, and destruction of international law, when Jewish Supremacy or exceptionalism, if you like, is reinforced, backed and protected by the Christian Zionists of former European colonial entities.<\/p>\n

Here is a selection of Ambassador Huckabee\u2019s words which will be recorded in the annals of history\u2019s genocides:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not a Zionist because I am Jewish.\u00a0 I am a Zionist because I believe in Bible. Jews around the world representing only 0.2 percent of the world\u2019s population have created outsized impact on the world.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there are people who hate you for that.\u00a0 More than they have you.\u00a0 They hate the God who chose you more than 3,800 hundred years ago, gave you a place called Israel and gave you a purpose which is to present the law and the light to all the world.\u00a0\u00a0 (T)here is no one else to whom the Creator of the Universe has given such a mission.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To the Christian Zionist from Little Rock, Arkansas, Israel is the irrefutable evidence of what the Prophet said would come to fruition:\u00a0 \u201cthat the dry bone would live again, and that the desert would bloom\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Having made over 100 visits to this promised land (?) of Israel since 1973, the preacher repeated the tired old foundational Israeli propaganda, \u201cthere was nothing there.\u00a0 It was desert and rock. Nothing grew there.\u00a0 Nothing was green.\u00a0\u00a0 Brown and lifeless.\u00a0 Using the incredible inspiration and the innovation of drip irrigation invented by (the) Israelis he created something amazing, a farm.\u00a0 It turned green with fruit and vegetables, Lush with something that was growing and living.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201c(God) also commissioned the Jewish people to work very hard, sacrificially, to truly make (Israel) the land of milk and honey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing the Book of Genesis, Huckabee exhorted his audience to lead the world, despite of attempts to eradicate and destroy God\u2019s chosen people and their promised land, to the loud applause.<\/p>\n

Then he repeated again the Pavlovian view that the world have always hated the Jews:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will always be those who will find reasons \u2013 irrational reasons \u2013 to hate the Jews.\u00a0 It\u2019s been that way since God chose Abraham on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22). \u00a0You have an unbroken connection of 3,800 years to the land.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
