Albert Einstein on American racism and Israeli Zionism – by Don Jaide
Einstein and Paul Robeson
Least we forget, some of the best minds of this world could not stand
the racist and segregation policies of so-called white countries like
America and Israel.
Albert Einstein the great scientist was one of the most famous
anti-racist spokesmen. His views were dreaded by the American
establishment because it came from one of their own.
Below find his views on some of the most topical issues or his days,
and our days too:
American Racism
Einstein routinely trashed America for it's racism.
He wrote, "Race prejudice has unfortunately become an American
tradition which is uncritically handed down from one generation to the
next."
Einstein also joined the NAACP, and became close friends with two of
America's most famous civil rights leaders – W.E. DuBois and Paul
Robeson.
Israel Zionism:
In 1952, soon after Jewish gunmen had ethnically cleansed Arab
villages, Einstein was offered the presidency of the illegitimate
State of Israel. He politely declined the offer: "I am deeply moved by
the offer from our State of Israel, and at once saddened and ashamed
that I cannot accept it."
