Summary of lecture (up to 38 minutes):
5:48
'religion is the opium of the masses' — Marx
Kwame challenges this and claims it is true only for europe and that the problem of religious intolerence is, largely, a european problem (it is not a normal way of life in Africa)
Africa has a long history of allowing many different religions.
Europe hasnt produced universal religion it just steals it then burns those at the stake who disagree with the chosen sect.
"Religion must be used as an arm by the revolutionary forces"
uses MLK as an example of the good work that can be done by inspiring those motivated by religion.
The religion of Judaism and the political philosophy of zionism must be completely separated.
Africa gave Judaism and monotheism to the world.
Judaism was likely born in Kush (sometimes Cush), the ancient name for (A)Ethiopia
9:09
Sigmund Freud has a book showing, through proofs in various fields, that Judaism began in Africa and Moses himself was an African
9:30
"when I hear people tell me I'm antisemtic which makes no sense of all because Judaism has nothing to do with semitic people, one is a religion and the other is a biological specification"
this is a purposeful confusion, but we are revolutionaries we believe in dialectics out of confusion comes clarity.
Judaism was given to the world by Africa
zionism is a political philosophy it did not come out of Africa, it came out of Europe.
Mr Herzl was it's founder, he was as bourgeois as they come.
If you read his diary properly he says he is an athiest,
how is it that some european athiest from modern times link to some ancient African religion and claim it promises a chosen people land?
12:30
Herzl's theory is that Jews were discriminated against all over the world
this is only true for europe not for the world.
We must never make the particular history of europe the general history of the world
14:50
all of the world is conquered and divided by colonial powers
zionism wants a country so herzl attaches himself to british imperialism to get Palestine, through the balfour declaration
it cant call it self a liberation movement, because liberation movements fight against imperialism not with it
Palestine doesnt belong to the british, they cant give the land they don't own.
16:50
Zionism is the baby child and protector of american imperialism in the middle east (and Africa)
17:30
"zionism has nothing to do with religion, it has no concern for you after you die"
"the Palestinian state belongs to the Palestinian people this is a fact"
"you know they ran away and left the land,...well they wanna come back now so let them come back"
zionism conquered the land, not through the torah, through raw and naked terrorism and with guns given to them by imperialists
zionism cannot say all the Jews are one race because we know the earliest Jews are Africans
religion is not a nationality nor a nation it transcends national boundaries
20:57
of course the relationship between zionism and Judaism and Jews must be properly understood
zionism dominate all Jewish institutions throughout the world
they were able to do this during WW2...
...
...they allied with the nazis to dominate Judaic institutions and create the fear that inspires the purpose of israel (as before then Judaism was against the idea of going back without a clear sign from god)
27:24
"their work hand in hand with the nazis was to scare the jews and to give them (the zionists) the political power to dominate Jewish organisations...they succeeded... we make it clear that not all Jews were aware that zionists own their organisations and that their efforts go towards zionist goals"
imperialism used Christianity that Christianity hunted slaves for imperialism, this doesn't mean we attack Christianity as we should judge systems by their principles.
zionism uses Judaism to hunt indigenous Palestinians.
"It is zionism that does this not Judaism"
The principles of zionism are the problem.
28:58
"they may say I'm anti-Judaic that's the best they can say, but I'm a conscious African I cannot be against the contributions of my ancestors, so in no way am I anti-Judaic, but I'm anti-zionist and will remain so until it is destroyed because it is an unjust illegal immoral and racist system"
29:30
what is the Solution:
the solution is , as PLO says, the State of Palestine must be a single secular state from the river to the sea.
Jews must understand this is their fight and unless they help fight against zionism they will allow their religion to become a gutter religion as Farrakhan said it would become.
A Jew can never be a zionist and a zionist can never be a Jew, it's like god and the devil
Kwame says we have a double fight against zionism and also against those who are intolerant against Judaism,
but, to clarify to white people full of european history exceptionalism, this is said as an African who lived in america during very dramatic white supremacy, intolerance does not mean "mean words towards europeans who call themselves Jews" he means real racial intolerance should be fought against, including intolerance of the Judaic religion.
~31
There is no question zionism will be destroyed, not one!
~32
SNCC was destroyed in 3 months after taking a position against israel and zionism...these are facts....these are facts.
~34
Kwame says zionism is weaker at the time of this speech than it was in the civil rights era. MLK was confused on the issue and his support came from zionist related christian institutions, but today people who try to be like King have had to at least listen to Palestine.
I don't know when this is exactly, but based on his appearance I'm guessing late 80s or early 90s
~36
Germany lost the war, take your state there (if that's your excuse)
They were so confident in their arrogance that they thought they could stand and control liberation movements in Africa and Asia
They are going to get crushed by both of them
zionism must be destroyed Judaism as a religion must be respected.
~38 Claps then goes into question time
I'll leave the summary of the questions for a separate thread |
