The War Waged by Pagans Against the United States and Israel

Whereas the Nazis led by Hitler waged a war against the Jews

it’s pagans who’re now waging the same battle

though not transporting them for slaughter just like cattle

reviling them not due to unprogressive racist views,

but to their opposition of beliefs that are the basis

of civilization that has made America so great,

quite comparable to that of the Jewish state,

two brilliant nations that are based not on the rationale of races,

but covenants, the American based on democracy,

whereas the Bible is the basis of the Jewish one.

Pagans want both polities undone,

progressively performing programs permeated by hypocrisy.

Anti-Zionism: a most lamentable symptoms of the same

syndrome that has inspired hate of Israel,

with progressive programs to make both the nations fail —

baloney like ballistic missiles the messages they aim.

On October 7, 2024, in a Tikvah discussion led by Jonathan Silver, “The Fighting Front Lines: What We’ve Learned from the Most Consequential Year in Modern Jewish History”, Liel Leibowitz, in  a discussion  with Ruth Wisse, Dara Horn and Elliot Kaufman, suggested that antisemites who practice the form of antisemitism attributed to anti-Zionism should be regarded as pagans whose goal is to fight western civilization, the major source of their evil ideology less their hate of Israel, which like Iranian ayatollahs they regard as a little Satan, than their hate of the United States, their major Satan.
