Militant Judaism

Militant Judaism is the extreme belief that Jews are the "chosen people" and have a divine status - it can manifest as racism and intolerance towards other religions and people, although often used by anti-semites to refer to all Jews their is considerable difference between the views of most Jews and those of the Militant Judaism movement.

“	I see all this and know that if we are to save the Jewish state and its three-and-a-half million Jews from terrible horrors, we must rise up and demand a fundamental change in the very system of government.	„
	~ Meir Kahane

Militant Jews believe they have the right to treat others as they see fit and are often extremely hostile towards non-Jews and even Jews that do not share their extreme views.

(Important: do not add anti-semitic propaganda as "fiction" - such information belongs in the anti-semitism page: this is for fictional portrayals of Militant Judaism, not material created by those who have a known hatred of the Jewish people)

Controversy edit

Militant Judaism has often been referred to a Zionism - which has caused considerable controversy, as listed below.. The term "Zionism" and "Zionist" are controversial due to many anti-semite groups using the term to justify the oppression of Jews or the Isreali state - to the point some mistakenly believe that those who oppose Zionism are inherently anti-semitic. Critics of the term believe it encourages a hatred or mistrust of all Jews and their culture, however others argue that this controversy has been used by some to silence criticisms of the more extreme sections of Zionism - who often have little to do with moderate Jews or the state.
