Do You Suffer From Zionitis Too?

Thank you to Krisztina Maria for inspiring my coining of the term ‘zionitis’ to describe this political-psychological condition.

You can watch her video on Facebook here. It is my assessment that, in the video, she is suffering from an acute bout of zionitis. I wish her a speedy recovery.

Back to the general definition of the term ‘zionitis’.

Zionitis refers to a specific political-psychological condition characterised by the following symptoms:

• Hysterical defence of Israel
• Hatred of Palestinians and/or Muslims
• Equating Hamas with Palestine
• Blindness to false flag operations
• Ignoring the controlled opposition
• Ignorance of Israel’s history

The treatment of Zionitis is difficult for several reasons, including:

• Those affected are often unaware that they are suffering from a political-psychological illness, and as a result they rarely seek treatment
• Those affected experience social and financial benefits from the illness, for example in the form of paid work and speaking engagements

If the patient can be motivated to undergo treatment, it consists of these two main components:

• Fact-based education on the history, ideology and methods of power of Zionism
• Guided meditation on cultivating loving-kindness (unconditional love for one’s neighbour) directed towards both Israelis and Palestinians, as well as both Jews and Muslims
