Zionism Before the Court of History (1982) Soviet Film.

Director: Oleg Uralov

A damning documentary exposing the reactionary ideology and practices of Zionism and the State of Israel.

The documentary titled "Сионизм перед судом истории" (Zionism Before the Court of History) from 1982 presents a critical examination of Zionism, its historical roots, and its consequences for both Jews and Palestinians. This post aims to summarize the key points raised in the documentary, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues surrounding Zionism.

The Origins of Zionism
Zionism emerged in the late 19th century as a response to the plight of Jews in Europe, particularly during the rise of imperialism. The movement sought to establish a national homeland for Jews in Palestine, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. The first Zionist Congress in 1897, led by Theodor Herzl, marked a significant moment in the formalization of Zionist ideology, emphasizing the need to isolate Jewish students and workers from socialism and promote a national identity.

The Role of Western Powers
The documentary highlights the complicity of Western powers, particularly Britain, in the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 expressed British support for a national home for the Jewish people, which facilitated the influx of Jewish immigrants into Palestine. This period saw the beginning of tensions between Jewish settlers and the Arab population, who constituted the majority in the region.

The Palestinian Experience
The documentary provides a poignant account of the Palestinian experience, detailing the displacement and suffering caused by the establishment of Israel. It recounts the events of 1948, when the British withdrew from Palestine, leading to the declaration of the State of Israel and subsequent violence. The documentary describes how hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes, marking the beginning of a long-standing conflict.

The Ideological Divide
The documentary contrasts two main ideological currents within Zionism: one that sought a physical state and another that emphasized a spiritual and moral center for Jews. It critiques the notion of Jewish superiority and the idea that Jews are a chosen people, drawing parallels between Zionism and the ideologies of racial superiority espoused by the Nazis.

The Aftermath of World War II
Post-World War II, the documentary discusses how Zionist leaders capitalized on the Holocaust to garner international sympathy and support for the establishment of Israel. However, it also points out the hypocrisy of some Zionist leaders who collaborated with Nazi authorities during the war, raising questions about their moral standing.

The Ongoing Conflict
The documentary argues that the establishment of Israel has led to decades of conflict, characterized by military aggression and the occupation of Palestinian territories. It highlights the brutal realities faced by Palestinians under Israeli rule, including home demolitions, military incursions, and systemic discrimination.

The Role of the United States
The documentary emphasizes the strategic alliance between Israel and the United States, particularly during the Cold War. It critiques American foreign policy that prioritizes support for Israel, often at the expense of Palestinian rights. The influence of pro-Zionist lobbying groups in American politics is also discussed, illustrating how they shape U.S. policy in favor of Israeli interests.

Conclusion
The documentary concludes with a call for a reevaluation of Zionism and its impact on both Jews and Palestinians. It argues that true peace in the region can only be achieved through acknowledging the rights and suffering of the Palestinian people. The historical judgment on Zionism, as presented in the documentary, serves as a reminder of the complexities and moral dilemmas inherent in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Iran "joins" the Special Military Operation (SMO).

The head of the National Security Commission of the Iranian Parliament, Ibrahim Azizi, called for considering the entire territory of Ukraine a "legitimate target" due to its assistance to Israel.

According to him, Kiev's actions in support of Israel, including assistance with drones, make the entire territory of Ukraine a "legitimate target" for Iran.

Well, this is interesting.

According to the article, they are going to investigate whether the attacks on civilians in the region were linked to the US or Israel (false flags) because Iran claims it wasn’t them, and it appears that the other countries may believe them.

It’s worth noting that this is the guy who implemented Iranian Devolution back in August after the 12 Day War, which set up Iran to withstand the “decapitation strike” against the Ayatollah and the IRGC.

Do you understand now why Saudi Crown Prince MBS and the other Muslim leaders opposed a war with Iran, despite what the NeoCons and Zionists say?

Mark Levin—amid faltering war effort—blames Iran for 9/11.

He cites a WSJ op-ed from the late Joe Lieberman as evidence—without disclosing that Lieberman at the time was working on behalf of the Sheldon Adelson-funded Israel Lobby front group "United Against Nuclear Iran."

Trump has tricked Jewish NeoCons into telling the truth about Israel.

The baseline assumption should be that these characters are agents of the Israeli government. Alternative explanations would be that they are simply immoral, or perhaps religious zealots.

This event represents, in my opinion, Putin's first overt countermove against NATO and the Unipolar Hegemony, serving as the bridge between the Maidan Coup and the War in Donbas--which began immediately after, in April 2014.

All of this, of course, being the preamble to the 2022 Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
