Similar to Nazi-era Germany, the people of Israel are told that the country is in a continuous state of emergency that makes walled cities and Palestinian Ghettos necessary for the state’s survival. Therefore passports and permission to come and go are limited and usage of exit and entry visas by Palestinians and others are also intentionally confusing—one day this border is opened,  the next day it is closed but another border with another set of crossing rules is opened.

 

Similar to concentration camps of the Nazi-era, thousands of Palestinians (especially if Muslim rather than Christian Palestinian) are living as stateless peoples within an Israeli dominated system and apparently run by people who value themselves and their level of society and culture higher than the peoples and society of any others around them.

 

This is the reality of the nation state of Israel. It is a land that has determined to rebuild the world of a divided Europe of the early and mid-20th Century Europe.

 

Further, many of those stateless Palestinians are rarely allowed outside of their ghettos into the Promised Land where their ancestors once lived and felt fully integrated in the land and societies around them.

  

MUSEUM LESSONS

 

By intentionally connecting the memory of the building of Israel to the Holocaust, Yad Vashem Museum in Israel has created a key means of interpreting modern Israel and the reason for its being.

 

Sadly, Yad Vashem Museum has not taken time nor opportunity to point out how the cement barriers of the modern Israeli system and its walls are mirrored so clearly in the unadorned concrete of its own main triangular structure.

 

Walls and borders are resurrected by Israeli officials on a regular basis.  Each one mirrors the dehumanization process for the other.

 

Meanwhile, each year new divisions between peoples are created by the Israeli regime by its creating new apartheid laws—e.g. the anti-Jewish regime has recently copied the Nazis by proscribing who can be recognized as married or not under the law in Israel.

 

That’s right! 

 

Just as the Nazi Regime revoked marriages between Jews and non-jews in 1930s and 1940s, Israel has recently created a marriage law which makes a non-Jewish wedding illegal within the Israeli Reich in 2007-2008.

 

Are Muslim weddings now illegal in Israel?

 

Are Christian weddings illegal in Israel?

 

Are Secular weddings illegal in Israel?

 

This sure seems to be the case—although the supreme court might throw out the law soon—who knows?  The fact is, this is the trend in Israel over the past two decades.  It is a bunker mentality set on resurrecting the memories of Hitler in an Israeli state in this 3rd Millenium.

 

This sort of trend in state building and lawmaking is the status quo in Israel today.  Perhaps, the laws on marriage will change again next year under popular protest—instead of waiting for the courts in Israel to decide.
