Hey Israel and the West, Cry me a River

It's laughable how America, Israel and the rest of the West are so damn confused and upset as to why Israel is the hot topic at the UN Conference on Racism in Switzerland. Allegedly, the goal of the summit is to combat intolerance and racism in the global community, yet they call for tolerance of the most intolerant and racist regime in existence today. Israel, a nation built on a fundamentally racist ideology called Zionism and is, as usual, being treated with kid gloves by the global community. Why is Israel racist? Well... Zionism is a movement concerned with the creation of a purely Jewish state in Palestine. When the current Israeli administration calls for the remaining indigenous Arab populations inside their "borders" to perform loyalty tests to the nation that has devastated their people its hard not to think of them as fascists and racists. Are there any other nations in this world maintaining such a brutal and horrific occupation? All nations in the world carry some racist elements in them and they should all be criticized appropriately, but no other nation is allowed to be built on an explicitly racist ideology. If Zionism is not racism then I'd like all these diplomats to explain to me what it is exactly. Hey, western nations stop crying about it and explain to us how exactly how you justify Zionism.

Here's a little story to help us put this all in perspective... See this one German guy named Hitler tried that whole ethnic cleansing and wiping-out-any-people-he-deemed-unfit-for-his-nation-thing, half a century ago, and it really didn't work out for him too well back then. After that happened, this overarching international governing organization, the UN, was established with the goal of preventing such a thing from happening ever again. Unfortunately the same decade that German guy and his racist ideology were eradicated, the UN established a racist nation, Israel, on another peoples land, the Palestinians.

Frankly, it should not be surprising that Israel was singled out and attacked at the anti-racism conference, call me crazy. In fact, all the nations should have been harshly critical of Israel, instead of walking out like self-righteous hypocrites. Not everyone has to agree with Ahmadinejad's style or everything he said in his speech but by no means was he inappropriate in his denunciation of Israel and most importantly, Zionism.
