4-The racism and the extreme nationalism of the Jewish people
As it was stated earlier, to prove the self-isolation of the Jews in the world today and in the past, Ayatollah Beheshti says that this way of thinking and the worldview of the Jewish people are caused by the habit and tradition of their social thought. In other words, they do not accept intermingling with the other nations and they have never accepted this notion. The Jews say: a non-Jew should not come to live among the Jews and the Jews should not marry the non-Jewish people and to strengthen and firmly establish this principle they live for as long as they can in closed societies to confront such issues and problems to a lesser degree. Nevertheless, as stated by Martyr Beheshti, the issue does not end here because this notion of life and marriage is conducive to racism. On the other hand, to avoid marriage between the Jews and non-Jews, they have exerted tougher limitations, other than being confined to their own small communities and isolating themselves. They have said that the criterion for being Jewish or the nationality criterion is the membership in the Jewish community and being granted citizenship by the mother birth, and not the father. Therefore, Ayatollah Beheshti, sees the beginning of racism in the laws of this society and says in this regard:
A Jewish person is someone whose mother is Jewish even if he or she has a non-Jewish father even if a Jewish man marries a non-Jewish woman, his children are not considered Jewish. This is a law that is now enacted and adhered to in Israel. This law is enacted because they want to make certain that a person who does not have Jewish blood should not be within the Jewish community and Israel. They believe that the basis of this argument which establishes the current law must be maintained as it is also mandatory in the Torah. Therefore, a Jewish person is someone whose mother is certainly Jewish and if her or his father is Jewish, then so much the better, and even if this is not the case, it would suffice to have a Jewish mother. Of course, there are laws in the Old Testament which establish this.
Then Ayatollah Beheshti states, according to the current situation of the Jewish community that is considered a closed society that "the Jewish community is a combination of extreme nationalism, even worse than Nazism, or in the same line with the Zionist Nazism.
He addressed a Jewish scholar at a university meeting and said:
An Israeli general married a non-Jewish woman. Now, the Jewish community does not accept the general’s Jewish child. I told this story to the Jewish scholar and took his hand and put it exactly on the legal article that existed in the Torah. I said, dear sir, according to your Torah, you even care so much about your ancestry and your racial and nationalistic features and want to preserve them that you consider being Jewish by mother’s birth.
Hence, with accuracy and meticulousness, Ayatollah Beheshti pointed to the self-isolation of the Jewish community due to their own customs and traditions, and drew the subject to the view of racism and extreme nationalism or, as that martyr articulates, the Zionist Nazism. The point that has been ignored by many scholars and the social and political scientists in relation with Judaism and Zionism or perhaps, as we might say, one of the problems that the political scientists have grappled with, is the incorrect analysis of the content of the words, including, the vagueness of the word describing the Jewish racism. In simpler words, many political scientists raise the subject of the Jewish racism, but sometimes they do not know the origin of this claim and others do not report such an origin.
5. The atonement of the Muslims because of the massacre of Jews in Europe
One of the impressions that the author perceives of the words of Ayatollah Beheshti on the issue of the life and evolution of the territorial delusions held by the Jewish people, since the early history of Islam, is that whenever the Romans and Europeans pressured the Jews or they were compelled to do forced labor and experienced persecution by them, then, the Jews took shelter within the territories of the Islamic world.
From the earliest times in the history of Islam, the people of Israel lived alongside Muslims according to their own will and wish. For centuries, the Jews had immigrated to the Arabia and despite the fact that Islam was a religion which had attracted everyone throughout the Arabian lands, the Prophet gave them shelter and refuge. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the Prophet provided security for them but they did not recognize this kind deed of the Prophet and the Muslims at all. In other words, in the early days of Islam, the Romans and the Europeans committed horrendous crimes against the Jews and Muslims had to go through the atonement for this, although at the time of the Prophet of Islam (Peace Be upon Him) this action was accepted out of benevolence.
A similar story occurred in the twentieth century. In other words, the Muslim world again had to go through the atonement for the European crimes (if these crimes are in fact real). Of course, the distinction between their current presence and their immigration at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is in the fact that at the time they had come as guests and lived in the Muslim lands while the Prophet and Muslims were not dissatisfied with the issue, but at this time, their immigration has been associated with ownership claims and this new residence is forced upon the Muslims.
Martyr Beheshti says:
I was in another meeting and I said in this regard with great regret that the Zionists had been suffering in Europe and have been taking revenge from the people of Asia; it is a fact. If around the world, the Jewish people were burned, this did not happen in Muslim countries. Where have you heard that a Jew was burned in Muslim countries? If Jews were massacred, if the Jews were persecuted so and so, this happened in Germany. In Germany you have done it, then he should atone for your mistreatment here. Why should the innocent people of Palestine pay for this affair?
6-The illusion of Jews concerning themselves as the superior race
In addition to the fact that the Jews use their holy book (the Torah) to introduce themselves as a superior race, they also arrange the same claim according to the Holy Quran and say: "We are the superior race. Because the Koran states that the Jews have excellence and virtue over all the people in the world and "Therefore, the Jews use very initial impressions of the Quran to suggest that the Jewish race and the Israelites are the superior race of the world. Ayatollah Beheshti has given a detailed discussion in this connection. He first appeals to the general concepts of the Quran and says that some of the Quranic concepts are poorly understood, then, he begins to offer his interpretation of the verse of Surah Baqarah and in the end, it is clear that not only the Qur'an does not in verse 121 give any account of the talent and distinction of the race but the Koran wants to say that God granted a group of people a role model to the advantages of others, to set them as a behavioral model for the others, but these people instead of using this blessing and instead of gratitude, fell in the course of ingratitude and disobedience and when they adopt depravity and corruption, they would have no place in heaven any longer.
Ayatollah Beheshti is of the opinion that the Koran says about Israel:
We have given the children of Israel an advantage over the world, not the racial superiority or the blood supremacy of Israel in the world which they claim today and not what some people have understood from me and has led them to ask: Dear sir, what are you suggesting?!! The God himself says I have given the Israelites an advantage over the other populations of the world. Therefore, what else can you say on this matter?
Martyr Beheshti says in response:
This is a misinterpretation of the Koran. It is a general rule. In Quran, there is a series of generalities that are very general in the text, which means there is no exception to them in being ascribed to anything and this is one of them. As the background and the context is one that a group could have a number of exceptions to this rule when regarding themselves. Now comes the Quran and observes the exception of the allocation and then relies on the public in general terms. Such words of the generality are understood by the public. There are no exceptions for any nation in this regard. Everyone that does evil and is devious, and commits sins is damned. Of course, verse 82 of Surah Baqarah has emphasized this point.
He then explains and offers further interpretation of the verse. He says:
The 20th verse of the Ma’edeh Sura states: Then, Moses said to his people, remember the bounties of god who sent prophets for you and gave you a kingdom and granted you what he did not to the others in the world. With this introduction to his people, Moses said: O my people! Now that God has given you all these blessings, now enter your country. Let's have the courage, let's go to this land that God has prescribed for you. This superior people, as you say, were always searching for excuses. They said: O Moses! In this land, a handful of powerful people live, as they are in this country we do not dare to go there. If they themselves went out of this country, then we are ready to enter the land with dignity and as lords. Moses said to God, I do not have anyone other than myself and my brother. Separate me and these criminals. He said: O Moses! Now that these people are so lazy and selfish, this land will be prohibited to them for 40 years and they must live wandering in the desert. The interpretation of this verse of the Quran is very explicit. Qur'an wants to say that the people of the world are given a historic test against you and the history of such an event is recorded. The Israelites were chosen by God as a test unit. Facilities were provided for this nation to find their own identity. The test results were negative. However, a negative result which is instructive but the privilege that God had given to the children of Israel brought nothing but shame to them.
So, in the perspective given by Ayatollah Beheshti, the afore-mentioned verse does not convey that the Jews are a chosen race, but wants to verify that God gave them too much and they showed disobedience and ingratitude instead of gratitude and became an instructive unit for the whole world.
Conclusion
For years, in order to satisfy their ambitions and their untrue rights, the Jews have raised delusional issues such as the territorial and racial superiority claims. Muslim scholars have always been on the forefront of explaining the public and pointing to the fact that the Jewish people have these unrealistic plans.
Although martyr Beheshti has had no books or articles relating to the recognition of the Jewish people, in his speeches mentioned during the interpretation of the Surah of Baqarah, he has made some significant points that show his futuristic thinking about the Jewish people.
Six facts can be inferred by studying his remaining works:
The Jewish people claimed the ownership of any land to which they were invited.
The Jewish people, were a people without faith and without belief and the sign of such an unbelief is the lack of stamina and their successive excuses in spite of the many miracles done by Moses.
The Jewish people have always tried to live separately; this way of life has not been due to the pressure by the world powers or the neighbors, but has been due to their own religion and social custom.
The racism and the extreme nationalism of the Jewish people are caused by the unfounded thoughts resulting from their distorted texts.
Muslims must make atonement for the Holocaust claim, if there has been any oppression of the Jewish people, then, the Europeans should pay the compensation and not the Muslims in the region.
The misinterpretation of the verses of the Torah and Quran marks the origins of illusions of racism and racial superiority among the Jews.
