Is the State of "Israel" a cult?

Marcia Rudin's 14 Common Characteristics of a Cult

Marcia Rudin has identified 14 common characteristics of a cult. Let’s examine them to see if they apply to the State of “Israel.”¹

1. Members swear total allegiance to an all-powerful leader who they believe to be the Messiah.

   1. THE THIRD TEMPLE AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE MESSIAH:
      How deeply embedded within the Israeli psyche is their desire for the appearance of their long-awaited Messiah? Obviously, very deep. They are willing to raze to the ground the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest shrine of Islam and Muslims, so they can build their Third Temple.
      
      Then, as I understand it, their Messiah will return. And they’re willing to do this even though to destroy Islam’s third-holiest site would potentially mean war against ALL TWO-BILLION MUSLIMS ON THE PLANET, as well as universal condemnation by probably all the countries of the world.

   2. IS THEIR SUPREMACIST MINDSET THEIR MESSIAH?

   3. IS ZIONISM THEIR MESSIAH?

   4. IS THEODOR HERZL THEIR MESSIAH? Conclusion: This 1st sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

2. Rational thought is discouraged or forbidden.

   1. OY VEY!!
      Is it even necessary to comment here??? This 2nd sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

3. The cult's recruitment techniques are often deceptive.

   1. OH…..MY…..GOD!!
      Please, please, please take some time to view this video interview, by Chris Hedges, of Mr. Miko Peled, on how “Israelis” are heavily indoctrinated from birth. This 3rd sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”
      

4. The cult weakens the follower psychologically by making him or her depend upon the group to solve his or her problems.
   Perhaps the deepest ethos of the “Israeli” people is their sense of persecution. This persecution complex forces a cult-like, deeply-exaggerated and paranoid sense of dependence on each other for their very survival, which, of course, is the biggest concern that any individual can have: survival. This 4th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

5. The cults manipulate guilt to their advantage.

   1. LORD HAVE MERCY!!!
      What happens to a Jew that criticizes Zionism, or criticizes the State of “Israel?” Other Jews WILL jump on him, calling him “a self-hating Jew.” The obvious attempt is to put that Jewish critic on a guilt trip.
      
      This cultish habit is extended, by Jews, to every single human being ON EARTH that criticizes the polices of the State of “Israel.” Fortunately, this trick’s effectiveness, globally, has come to a screeching halt. No one is fooled, anymore, by the attempt to be put on a guilt trip for criticizing the State of “Israel.”
      
      And, on a more lighter note, who ISN’T familiar with the sometimes comical depiction of the typical Jewish mother, who DROWNS her children in a sense of guilt. But, leaving moms to BE moms [MY mom must have been Jewish!!], the above two mentioned habits of pro-Zionist Jews are habits we are all familiar with, and definitely stand as distinguishing features of “Israel” as a cult. This 5th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

6. The cult leader makes all the career and life decisions of the members.

   1. Make sure you view the above interview of Miko Peled, where you will discover how intensely Jews in “Israel” are indoctrinated, damn near FROM BIRTH, to prepare them to serve in the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces. Indeed, the “career” of service to the IDF is like an expected “side gig” that each Israeli is brainwashed, early on, to consider. This 6th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of Israel.

7. Cults exist only for their own material survival and make false promises to work to improve society.
   Do you see the State of “Israel” reaching out, arms fully open, to improve the material survival of Palestinians? They have NEVER done so. They have allowed the people in Gaza to live in what has been referred to, universally, as an “open-air prison.” How many Palestinian apartments, homes, hospitals, schools, universities, clinics—even GRAVEYARDS of Palestinians—have been totally destroyed, since October 7th, by the State of “Israel’s” 2,000-lb and 5,000-lb bombs?
   
   Regarding the cultish sign of making “false promises,” the entire history of the State of “Israel” is filled with claims of making a settlement with the Palestinians, while the REAL intention was simply to STALL FOR TIME so that the State of “Israel” could gobble up more land from the Palestinian people. This now well-known map, updated to the year 2018, showing the historical progression of “Israel’s” theft of Palestinian land, proves the point:

8. Cult members often work fulltime for the group for little or no pay.
   N/A

9. Cult members are isolated from the outside world and any reality testing it could provide.

   1. OY VEY!!
      Is it even necessary to comment here??? This 9th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

10. Cults are anti-woman, anti-child, and anti-family.

    1. For the last 170 days, or so, the State of “Israel” has been SLAUGHTERING women, children, and, yes, entire families. In addition, the State of “Israel” has been bulldozing the GRAVEYARDS of Palestinians, something that might be considered the highest form of anti-family behavior, since it attempts to erase a vital and important FAMILY CONNECTION to a family’s deceased loved ones. People visit graveyards to pay respect to the memory of their deceased family members. This 10th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

11. Cults are apocalyptic and believe themselves to be the remnant who will survive the soon-approaching end of the world.

    1. OY VEY!!
       Is it even necessary to comment here??? This 11th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

12. Many cults follow an "ends justify the means" philosophy.

    1. TRIPLE OY VEY!!
       Kill every Palestinian in “Israel”—man, woman, child, elderly, disabled—to reach your goal of a “cleansed” State, virtually devoid of non-Jews. Was it even necessary to comment here??? This 12th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

13. Cults, particularly in regard to their finances, are shrouded in secrecy.

    1. N/A (I’m being nice.)

14. There is frequently an aura of or potential for violence around cults.

    1. TRIPLE OY VEY!!
       Kill every Palestinian in “Israel”—man, woman, child, elderly, disabled—to reach your goal of a “cleansed” State, virtually devoid of non-Jews. Was it even necessary to comment here??? This 14th sign of a cult aptly applies to the State of “Israel.”

So, the State of “Israel” clearly qualifies as a cult, since 12 out of 14 of Marcia Rudin’s 14 common characteristics of a cult definitely apply. In percentage terms, 86% of Rudin’s 14 signs of a cult apply to the State of “Israel.”

From my heart, not by way of ridicule, I implore Zionist Israelis that live in the State of “Israel,” or anywhere else, to strongly consider receiving therapy from a psychotherapist, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or an Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner. You will need help in re-shaping your perspective on life so that you can rid yourselves of cult-like thinking, and live a life free of the psychological constraints and paranoia that cult-like thinking has imposed on you. I pray for your success in this endeavor!!

As we ended meetings, phone calls, and letters, back in the day, Peace out!!

1. I place the name “Israel” in quotation marks because that country does not reflect any of the Divine Attributes that the Prophet Jacob (called Yacoub, in Islam), re-named Israel by Almighty God, reflected.
