Zionism is more accurately described as a strategy for targeting  thought and emotion as a means to influence behavior. Naïve Jews were  its first victims when induced to identify with an enclave in the Middle  East that President Harry Truman, a Christian Zionist, was induced to  recognize as a "state."
Zionism is first and foremost a mental state that manifests as a  dispersed form of internalized nationalism-a Diaspora-that binds to an  extremist enclave those who may never set foot there. After 1967, this  "state" became the "Land of Israel" based on a more expansive area  seized by Israel Defense Forces along with other occupied lands that  Zionists claim a god gave them.
Zionism recruits by sustaining a shared sense of insecurity within  the broader Jewish community. It progresses by marketing its perceived  vulnerability and victimhood among those on whom it relies for  financial, military and diplomatic support.
When, as now, policies of the Zionist state come under attack, media  campaigns herald an outbreak of anti-Semitism and hatred-not for Zionism  but for Jews, enhancing recruitment.
By choosing to identify their interests with those of Zionism, Jews  choose to make themselves feel insecure. Zionism relies for its success  not only on deception but also on self-deceit.
Many well-informed Jews opposed Israel's founding in 1948. By 1967,  Jewish-Americans were active in the civil rights movement. With the  Six-Day War, that activism became problematic. How could Jews back civil  rights for Blacks while Zionism denied those rights to Palestinians?
That era marked a turning point both for Zionism and legitimate  Judaism as many Jews abandoned civil rights activism when they could no  longer reconcile their activism with Israeli oppression. Thus the  present mental state of Barack Obama's many Jewish Zionist advisers.
The Six-Day War induced more Jews to identify with Zionism as a  defender of Jews. Yet now we know that war was a long-planned land grab  destined to outrage Arabs and Muslims. When combined with a murderous  occupation, decades of Israeli provocations were guaranteed to evoke the  violent reactions required to rationalize a "war on terrorism."
In terms of game theory war planning, today's results were perfectly  predictable-mathematically model-able within an acceptable range of  probabilities. Once again Zionism targeted thought and emotion to  manipulate behavior by provoking antagonism and evoking extremism-the  two key ingredients required to plausibly proclaim their insecurity.
When your numbers are few and your ambitions vast, what choice did  Zionists have but to seduce and deceive a super power so that our  military would wage their wars for Greater Israel?
Peace is the Opponent
Peace is a perilous 'state' to be avoided at any cost by a  nationalist ideology that thrives on serial crises wed to a perpetual  state of conflict and fear. To realize the Zionist goal of hegemony over  the Middle East requires a series of plausible Evil Doers and a  persuasive narrative. Could Zionism be the reason we segued so  seamlessly from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism? (See: How  Israel Wages War on the U.S.)
Instead of the anticipated post-Cold War "peace dividend, the U.S.  finds itself waging what Nobel economist Joe Stiglitz calls The $3  Trillion War-all of it borrowed, including $700 billion in interest  expense.
In hindsight, the phony intelligence that induced us to war in the  Middle East was traceable to Israelis, pro-Israelis or assets developed  for that purpose such as Iraqi liar Ahmad Chalabi.
Other than those sharing a Zionist mental state, who had the means,  motive, opportunity and, importantly, the stable nation-state  intelligence to conduct such operations inside the U.S.?
Yet even now those responsible elude accountability and even scrutiny  as cries of "anti-Semitism" are deployed to intimidate and misdirect-by  manipulating thought and emotion.
At the end of World War II, the U.S. claimed 50% of the world's  productive power, ensuring we would have the world's top-rated  government bonds for at least two generations. When the Cold War drew to  a costly close in 1989, the U.S. had spent $15.9 trillion on defense  since 1948 (in 2010 dollars). Now a potential war without end has taken  its place.
Americans have been induced to believe that the Zionist state is an  ally. We are not alone in viewing Israel as a legitimate nation and a  noble experiment to provide a "homeland" for a victimized people. That  alluring storyline victimized the broader Jewish community while also  laying waste to the nation that was first deceived to extend to Zionists  the hand of friendship.
To escape the ravages of Zionism requires that we concede its  duplicitous nature and make its operations transparent so that its  perpetrators become apparent. As a long-deceived global public grasps  its costs in blood and treasure, this mental state will be seen for what  it is: a criminal state.
The Psychopath Within
In the clinical psychiatric literature, this "state" features  interpersonal traits such as superficial charm, pathological lying,  egocentricity, lack of remorse, and callousness that are regarded as  characteristic of psychopaths. In order to betray, psychopaths first  befriend. In order to defraud, they first establish a relationship of  trust. Sound familiar?
Those who share such a mental state will happily incite hatred to  catalyze a reaction and then claim they are the victims of hate. For  those inhabiting this mental state, it appears rational and even  desirable to provoke a response and then claim to be a target of  anti-Semites. Inside this internal state, self-absorption is  all-encompassing with arrogance its most visible trait.
Law is irrelevant to those who consider themselves above the law.  Morality and conscience are of no concern to those who consider  themselves The Chosen-by a god of their own choosing. Such a nationalist  ideology has no place in a system nation states dedicated to the rule  of law.
Those sharing such a "state" pose too great a peril to be an object  of pity or compassion. Accountability is the only appropriate response  along with an initiative-deploying force as required-to secure any  weapons of mass destruction that may be in their possession.
Such a state cannot be delegitimized because any legitimacy attained  was integral to the fraud it inflicted on the community of nations. The  issue at hand is how best to protect a peace-seeking world from a  psychopathic ideology that assumed the appearance of legitimacy so that a  Christian Zionist president could be deceived to recognize as a nation a  criminal state.
