Zionism, Mythology, and the Collapse of Sympathy - Israel’s God Complex

Israel no longer simply represents a political ideology or a religious identity—it operates with a dangerous God complex. What once might have been a debate between Zionist ambition and Jewish identity has morphed into a delusional sense of superiority, built around the long-marketed myth of being the “Chosen People.” This narrative is no more grounded in truth than the United States’ claim of being the “greatest economy in the world,” despite drowning in a $37 trillion debt.

Another pillar of this myth-making machine is the so-called “Promised Land.” This concept has been weaponized for decades to justify land theft, displacement, and ethnic cleansing. In truth, the land currently called Israel was not “promised” to anyone—not to Jews, nor to Arabs. In 1948, with the help of the British and heavy backing from the Rothschilds, Israel was carved out of a land inhabited predominantly by Arabs. Before that, the region was under Ottoman rule, and before them, the Romans. The name “Palestine” itself was imposed by the Romans, and the Palestinian people are Arab Semites—genetically and culturally close to Sephardic Jews. In contrast, the post-WWII wave of Ashkenazi Jews who settled in Israel are of European origin, with little connection to the region.
