Judaism is intrinsically fascist.

The main problem with your most recent argument is that you are not looking at the issue from an objective viewpoint. I completely agree that Israel is surrounded by hostile nations. But this debate is not questioning Judaism"s motives and whether they are moral or not, the debate is on what is or isn"t within the basic nature of Judaism. I do not disagree with many of your statements on why Judaism is the way it is " or what it is about their situation that causes " However these statements are not compatible with this debate as we are debating on WHAT something contains or does not contain, due to the nature of this debate the reasons why certain characteristics exist are unnecessary. For example in your opening paragraph you state "you say that the values of Judaism and Fascism are the same, however let me make the point about how each comes about.", this is exactly not what we are debating on, the two things can come to hold similar values while have completely different starting points. The question of this debate is whether fascist ideologies exist in the core beliefs of Judaism, "how each comes about" is irrelevant. Secondly you argue against the notion that Yahweh is very similar if not identical to the definition of a dictator providing the following statement: "the idea of the dictator is "a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force." a single man who has risen above others to become the leader of a group of people using force, who has total control over the people" So the first problem is that the definition given is unverifiable as no source is provided this greatly diminishes the credibility of your argument. However more importantly the statement following the conclusion is false, it has exaggerated parts of this definition to support your argument. For example the definition says a dictator "TYPICALLY" [obtains] control by force", but you ignore this in order to support your argument that because god is supposedly greater than any man he does not come to power by conventional means. In relation to this argument it is also worth stating that one come to hold the same position and power as another without going through the same route. This is how I define God as a dictator, because regardless of how different the way in which god has his power in Judaism is from the way a conventional human dictator gains power, when looked at objectively god still rules with total power, similarly to conventional dictators. Next, in order to contradict my references to god crushing opposition you state that there is no evidence of destruction of those who sacrifice to any other god. However this shows you have clearly very little knowledge of even just the book of Exodus. In Exodus 32 many of the Jews abandon Yahweh and worship the Golden Calf. This results in Yahweh almost annihilating the entire Jewish race except from Moses, "Let my anger flare up against them and I shall annihilate them" (Exodus 32:10 Tanach Stone Edition), this is prevented by a successful prayer by Moses however destruction still follows: "So said Hashem, God of Israel " let every man kill his brother, every man his fellow, and every man his near one" [1] and then "The Levites did as Moses said, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day" [1] . This extract clearly shows a purging of those who have opposed god by sacrificing to another. Afterwards you again try and disprove the notion that Yahweh is or is very similar to a dictator by arguing that because he is fictitious and so does not exist he cannot rule over the Jews. Your argument is thereby stating that metaphysical concepts cannot affect and control the way people act in the physical world. Firstly I contest this by pointing out to that in the minds of believers i.e. the Jews Yahweh does exist and so they will follow any command they believe he has said, Yahweh therefore rules as a mental construct. Secondly in order to examine what is within Jewish ideology we have to assume that the things it states exist as these affect the ideology itself, it would be nonsensical to not examine something because it cannot be proven in the physical world especially in the context of this argument because we are looking at an ideology and so many of the things contained within will occupy the mental realm and not necessarily that which can be perceived. Following this you state "[God] isn't a personage ruling over a group of people but in fact an entity", however I this does not change the fact that Yahweh (personage or entity) still rules with total power and if you look to my definition of fascism it contains "strict obedience to a leader or the state", the definition of leader by the Compact Oxford English Dictionary is "a person or thing that leads", it does not directly specify that something has to be a person therefore Yahweh can still qualify for a leader in the fascist sense, thereby strengthening my main argument that fascism is within the basic nature of Judaism. You try to defend your statement that "Judaism actively promotes freedom" but looking in Deuteronomy 20:11 we see Yahweh order "If [a city] responds to you in peace and opens for you, then the entire people found within it shall be as a tribute for you, and they shall serve you", here Judaism is actively promoting the servitude of conquered peoples. Next you state "a fascist government has to create wars to sustain itself" this is wrong for example look at Spain under the dictator Franco, although he came to power through the Spanish civil war he remained in control until his death without any wars afterwards. War does help fascist governments because it causes people to become closer to their national identity but it is not always the prime reason. In the case of the Jews we see fascist ideas coming about due to the oppression by surrounding kingdoms. In response to this you may argue that because Judaism is not a system of government it cannot have fascist ideas, however I would like to remind you that Judaism was very different then to how it is now. In the time of Moses and etc. Judaism was the system of government, similar to the way we see Islam rule in many countries today through sharia law. Another of your statements is "The God in Judaism, i would argue, is not an aggressive dictator, but instead a leader, real or imaginary, that is, for the Jewish people, a symbol of Freedom and Justice in a land of people who would very much like to destroy them." Firstly I think that from the previous example of the golden calf there is clear aggressiveness from Yahweh. The Tanach also states that he says "If I ascend among you [the Jews], I may annihilate you in an instant" [1] indicating his anger over the Jews. How is it beneficial for the Jews to have a symbol that would kill them because they have displeased him? Secondly I would argue that the Jewish god is both dictator-like and a symbol, I see no reason why both cannot exist within the same entity. I must refute your statement "The Jewish race has never called itself a "master race", as you put it "I did not say this; please do not put words into my mouth. (A quick Control + F search will show you that you are the first person to mention the phrase). I agree that humans create gods that support their actions but this is again irrelevant I the context of this debate as we are supposed to be arguing on what is within Judaism and so how it came to be does not affect this debate. You finally state there isn"t "a strong enough correlation between Patriotism and Religious Fervour" However Judaism encompasses both by having the strict obedience to god and the patriotism towards the Promised Land. In relation to the quote you found this does not disprove Yahweh being dictator like as firstly, Moses is one man this clearly then doesn't show a distribution of power amongst the Jews also it only shows discussion not decision.
