Until the American Revolution, the world order centered on a principle whereby monarchs, viewed as God's representatives, received credit for prosperity while blame for hardship fell upon Jewish populations. This dynamic was fundamental to European supremacy, which defined itself in opposition to Judaism.
Europe's relationship with Judaism dates to ancient Greek and Roman invasions of Judea. Unable to eliminate Judaism, Europe adapted the Jewish monotheistic religion into Christianity, yet continued opposing the Jewish nation through this new religious framework. European theology held that while Jews were once the chosen people, their sin transferred that status to Europeans, providing theological justification for centuries of European global dominance.
The American and Zionist revolutions disrupted this order. America departed from the European model by rejecting the "blame the Jews" Pattern. Rather than scapegoating, Americans addressed problems through action - expanding westward when coastal conditions deteriorated, immigrating when facing hardship abroad. This approach enabled American exceptionalism and superpower status precisely because it abandoned Europe's blame-centered worldview.
Some within contemporary American political movements now advocate reverting to the European pattern, attributing economic hardship and social problems to Jewish populations. These voices contradict core American Revolutionary principles and undermine American prosperity.
This matters particularly because they target Zionism, a value central to American identity. America's founding involved establishing a "New Zion," Reflected in Hebrew town names like Bethel and New Jerusalem. Founding fathers, including James Madison, engaged with Hebrew. Americanism functioned as abstract Zionism from inception.
When the Zionist Revolution made this abstract ideal tangible through the resettlement and flourishing of Jewish lands after two millennia of abandonment, it strengthened American ideals. European efforts to weaken Israel through sanctions and incitement represent a proxy assault on America itself.
Europe has shifted from opposing Judaism to opposing the Jewish state, replacing Christian values with universalism, post-nationalism, socialism, and anti-theism. American figures seeking to import these European values mirror historical "Loyalists" Who resisted the original Revolution. As anti-Zionism increasingly serves as a proxy for anti-Americanism, the American and Zionist revolutions continue validating one another against this challenge.
