Fascism and Revisionist Zionism

Revisionist Zionism is closely related to Italian Fascism as the historical ties show.

Historical Revisionism

In continuation of our last piece, Racial Nationalism Among Germans and Jews, The Party is today presenting some research into Italian and Jewish Fascist ideology in the context of Revisionist Zionism. There will also be some further reference to Wahhabi Religious Nationalism and a little more insight into National Socialism as well as Whitehall’s oil policy. By no means a comprehensive presentation, it gives some ideas on what was taking place on the global chessboard in the first half of the twentieth century and, together with the previous article, can serve as a basis for further studies and publications. Readers may well be surprised to find out where historical revisionism can lead to when carried out through objective research.

Proto-Fascist Formation

Ze’ev Jabotinsky went on record for declaring that his revisionist overhaul of Zionism came about in Italy, where he arrived as a young man aged 18 in 1898 to study Law and to work as a Russian-language journalist. This period predates the foundation of Fascism, and so we may assume that both Fascism and revisionist Zionism have common ideological roots in pre-existing ideas in Italy in the 1800s that were present in Mussolini and Ze’ev’s days. To what extent National Socialism drew on the same or similar ideas would need to be object of further study.

Party research has found that the Fascist connections of Revisionist Zionism are amply known in the state of Israel, but practically unknown in other parts of the world. We came to the conclusion that in England – as in other countries where the Liberation from Fascism ideology prevails – the Whitehall narrative, which is predicated upon the Winston Churchill version of history, does its utmost to censor all and any reference to Zionist Fascism and to the Zionist friendship with National Socialist Germany. Not only, extremely critical in the Whitehall exposition of history is the systematic avoidance of any reference to Wahhabi religious nationalism, which was contemporary to Revisionist Zionism, Fascism and National Socialism and aligned to the City’s interests in oil exploitation and its ensuing revenues – and we’re talking here of petrodollars to the sound of trillions … and trillions, pasted out from the 1930s to the present day and beyond.

Fascism in Judaea

One example of Jewish recognition of Revisionist Zionism comes by way of an Ha-Aretz article from 20 July 2019, entitled: When Jews Praised Mussolini and Supported National Socialists: Meet Israel’s First Fascists. Referring to the Yishuv (the Jewish body living in the Jewish homeland) and to Jews living in Europe, the Ha-Aretz article states: “Like many others in the mid-1920s, Itamar Ben-Avi, the son of Eliezer Ben Yehuda – the reviver of the Hebrew language and the editor of the newspaper Doar Ha-yom – expressed a liking and even admiration for Mussolini and his actions”. The article goes on to state: “...he longed for a strong, assertive leader in the Yishuv (Jewish Palestine), and found him in the person of Ze’ev Jabotinsky”.

Another well-known Jewish figure, Abba Ahimeir, who – like Ben-Avi and Jabotinsky – was also a journalist and therefore in a position to persuade the Jewish public opinion, took part in founding a group for young people called: Brit Ha-biryonim, the Zealots’ Alliance. This group, as written in Ha-Aretz, aimed at getting the country’s Jewish youth (in Palestine) to see the light about nationalism. This came about in the late 1920s, when Abba Ahimer was writing columns in the above mentioned newspaper Doar Ha-yom under the title: From the Notebook of a Fascist.

We may assume that the foundation of the Hitler Youth some years later in Germany in the 1930s was inspired by similar youth movements in both Italian and Jewish Fascism. Yet, as previously stated here under the subtitle proto-Fascism, we should remember that Ze’ev Jabotinsky’s revisionist Zionism actually predates the founding of Fascism and goes back to the last years of the 1800s and the first years of the 1900s during his stay in Italy. It appears, therefore, that the Jewish Zealot mentality and Fascism were intertwined in their origins and together were to later influence German National Socialism.

Fascism in Italy

In the case of Italian Fascism, the original idea of conquest was seen as the fight against Communism, although territorial conquest was later added as a declared objective with the intention to gain some lands considered as once being Italian, probably with reference to several cities on the Adriatic coast with a historic Italian population that had been incorporated into Yugoslavia in 1922. 

In a later period, more precisely during the 1930s, conquest of parts of the former Roman Empire also became a policy, as happened when Italy occupied Albania and, several years later, invaded Greece and Yugoslavia. And there was the Italian conquest of Abyssinia, nowadays Ethiopia. During the 1920s, prior to the period of Italian territorial conquests, Jewish Revisionist Zionism and Italian Fascism were on good terms, and quite a few Jews living in Italy were enthusiastic members of Fascist organizations. This friendship continued on into the following decade, until the introduction of the racial laws in 1938, which Mussolini carried through when becoming an ally of National Socialist Germany.

Wahhabi Racism: Cursed Jews and Oil

We should not commit the appeasing error to overlook Arabic nationalism that was forming in the period during and after the First World War of 1914 – 1918 and King Ibn Saud’s role in defining its trajectory, including the Saudi conquest of the Hejaz with the cities of Mecca, Medina and Jeddah from 1924 to 1925. Both Jabotinsky and Ibn Saud believed in the idea of territorial conquest in the name of racial and religious identity. Yet it is essential to underline the racial character of King Ibn Saud’s nationalism not least owing to its utter refusal to accommodate Jews as anything other than a curse to humanity. And this is something that the Westminster curriculum has been careful to avoid teaching in schools and universities and on documentaries – owing to the petrodollar factor. Blaming Germany for the world’s sins is easier, regardless what the Germans did or didn’t do.

National Socialist Interaction with Judaea

National Socialist Germany and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia stood on two polar-opposite sides when it came to a Jewish homeland. Pretty much from the outset of National Socialist government in 1933, Berlin entertained excellent relations with Zionist Jews both in Germany and in Palestine. Adolf Hitler had already stated during the 1920s that he believed a homeland should be found for the Jews, and once in government he aligned this idea with the international consensus that the Jewish homeland should be in Palestine, as defined by the League of Nations Mandate stipulated shortly after the First World War and based on the 1917 Balfour Declaration. Therefore, not an area of Madagascar, but the biblical land once named Canaan. That is, Palestine, also known as Judea, Galilee, Samaria and the Negev. King Ibn Saud, on the other hand, strongly opposed any Jewish homeland in Palestine and placed his chip on the board of geo-politics at that time accordingly.

In a successive edition, to which we are supplying the link, The Party will take a look at the Transfer Agreement stipulated between National Socialist Germany and Jewish Zionist organizations that allowed for 60,000 Jews living in Germany to emigrate to Palestine between 1933 and 1939 and thousands of Jews from other countries too, significantly increasing the Jewish population there within six years and enhancing its economy by way of German industrial exports to the Yishuv.
