Marc Perkel Rantz: The Jewish State Experiment is a Failure

Marc Perkel is one of those old school bloggers a lot of people have not heard of but should. I've been a daily reader of his stuff now for ages; especially since he was able to create and incorporate the very real and legal Church of Reality [1].

His take on religion and politics is quite refreshing because it's a lot of the time incendiary. I would call his style as not so much neo-atheism as more like un-religioning with a sledgehammer. Which is why his following post ought to create a lot of controversy.

When I listen to what the country of Israel is saying they have no regrets about the number of Lebanese they kill and these other people are in the way of Israel's goals. Israel complains about kidnapping of it's people but when they kidnap 1/3 of the Palestinian Parlament they call them "detainees". Like Islamic terrorists Israel has its own death squads that hunts down and kills people who don't support their agenda, including their own leaders like Yitzhak Rabin.

The problem isn't with Judaism itself as much as it is with the idea of having a society with a superior class and an inferior class. It creates the illusion that they are actually better people and it create an imbalance that tends to lead to war as the oppressed rise up against the oppressors.

For a culture that is over 5000 years old you would think that after being both oppressed and oppressor that the Jews would get it. However - they don't.

I may not agree with Marc when he says "Israel treats all non Jews like they are vermin"; but I do absolutely agree that theocracies, even a Jewish one, are completely contrary to democracy. You can't have human rights and equality upheld when the ruling party of a country says their rights come from divine law.

Divine law and equal human rights based on the liberatarian principles that gave rise to modern democracy are completely incompatible.
