Einstein And Zionism
A few weeks before the Apartheid land of 'israel' was announced in May of 1948, the head of the Zionist organization in America wrote a letter to Albert Einstein - the world famous physicist - asking him to endorse and joint the movement. Since his heritage was Jewish, the organization assumed that Einstein, who himself had fled Nazi Germany and sought refuge from Hitler's policies, would be a vocal supporter.
However, because Einstein had traveled to Palestine in 1922, and at that time seen first-hand the realities on the ground, he wrote this letter back to the organization, angrily disavowing any affiliation with Zionism. Einstein wanted a land in which Jews and Muslims lived together as equals, and he realized that the Zionist project would not be able to achieve its goals without inflicting massive sufferings and untold deaths on millions of people. He went so far as to claim that Zionism was a betrayal of the ideals of the Jewish people, and its practitioners at the time were nothing but terrorists (which was absolutely true, as the works of many historians, in particular Ilan Pape, prove).
The moral of the story is:
Yes Einstein was a genius, but you don't need to be an Einstein to figure out Zionism is a racist, evil, supremacist ideology that can only succeed by depriving innocent people of their rights.
