i want the COMPLEXITY of Einstein understood and let be known i am 100% certain he would have denounced Israel long ago as they have become everything he feared might happen in his worst nightmares.
*********************************************************
Einstein’s idealism and Zionism
This bit gets to, in few words, Einstein essential aversion to Nationalist Zionism.
<< He appealed to Weizmann to cooperate peacefully with the Arabs and suggested the creation of a secret council of four Jews and four Arabs to reconcile their differing views, an idealistic goal that was never achieved. In 1947, when the United Nations debated the future of Palestine, Einstein argued against the partition plan that would divide the land into two states, Arab and Jewish. As an alternative, he advocated a military-free zone for both peoples.>> (i noted he said ZONE and NOT zones--here we have the One State Solution)
In 1940 and 1946 and 1947 he expressed his aversion to militarized nationalim and bemoaned that a State of Israel could become that which destroyed jews.
But in 1948, after he had denounced fiercely in the extreme Menachim Begin, he nonethelees post fait accompli, recognized Israel.
However just before he died he was working on a speech for Israel's Independence Day.
His opening line was " I speak to you today NOT as an american citizen, not as a jew, but as a Human Being"
i know this much that the speech was setting up a test arguing that Israel will be a moral success or failure based on their treatment of the the arabs.
i can see he was already seeing what Yeshayahu Leibowitz was to state in 1967, when he,Leibowitz, said if the occupation continues, Israel would LOSE its SOUL.
His fear,Leibowitz'es fear, proved to be correct, the Nation of Israel has lost its soul.
It was Yeshayahu Leibowitz that was the first prominent Israeli to use the term "Nazi-Jews", saying certain elements of the jewish people i see as "Nazi-Jews", he said that a long long time ago.
A note, Einstein himself said on reading the Torah and such he was revolted by the religion of Judaism but said a snail can remove itself from its shell, but it still is a snail, so i can remove from myself from Judaism but i am still a jew.
In the days moving to his death(which he knew was imminent) he started to play a recording of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.
A friend asked "Why he was playing that, your are an unbeliever."
Einstein, ever being Einstein, said "I am a devoutly religious unbeliever. I think i will create a new religion"
His very last writing, hours before he died, was an equation. Max
He played his video game night and day.
The MAZE of Death.
But that is the game we all are in, the trick, don't believe it.Get above it all and imagine nothing is what it seems.Kill the machine.otraque
