Karl Marx laughs at Zionism !

If Karl Marx were alive today, he might take a keen interest

    in the CLASS STRUCTURE of modern Israel. It  would indeed seem to the

    diehard communist internationalist - " workers of the world unite! " -

    that in Israel - forget about the Palestinians for a minute - some Jews

    are more equal than other Jews.

                 I read on the front page today : " secular residents protest

    ... military service exemptions for Orthodox Jews who devote themselves

    full time to study Jewish law . "

                I suspect that there are not a few  Jewish atheists even in

    Israel who would rather study physics full time than theological rubbish.

     Even quite " patriotic "  Jews !

                    Karl Marx would laugh at this irony : working class liberal

    minded Jews dying to make Israel safe for the most fanatical Orthodox

    Jews - too  PIOUS and scholarly to fight and die for their country.

                Imagine an atheistic Jewish soldier fighting for something

    he does not even believe in: " The Promised Land " !

                  Working class Jews not having a direct connection to the

    Almighty might find oppressed Palestinians to be their true brothers !

                     Thank God for old fashioned Jewish Communists - like

    Karl Marx.
