SWPE believes that every people has a right to live according to their own traditions, culture and ethnic predisposition. This applies to the Jewish people as much as to every other. The 'Jewish Question' is one which has plagued humanity for such a long time that it has become an obsession for Jews and non-Jews alike.
SWPE does not support the concept of Assimilation for any people into any other. We oppose 'multi-culturalism' because we understand that it is the long-term objective of the global Ruling Class to destroy all vestiges of culture, sovereignty, nationhood and identity, which differentiate the peoples of the world. We fully support global diversity and oppose the liberal Capitalist drive to create a world of slaves whose purpose is solely to create wealth for the self-appointed Masters.
The Jewish role in global Capitalism, especially Banking, has led many people to accuse the Jewish people as a whole of having an agenda to enslave non-Jews. We do not accept this over-simple generalisation of the Jewish nation. There are certainly Jewish elements in the Ruling Financial Oligarchy but there are also many non-Jews who exploit Jews and non-Jews in equal measure. The religious Jews who believe in a Master Race ideology give credence to anti-Jewish propagandists, but the extent of influence of the supremacists in general Jewry is grossly exaggerated by many 'anti-Semites.'
SWPE support the concept of a Jewish State. This is why we have a part of our ideology which we have chosen to call National Zionism. It is Zionist insofar as it supports the right of the Jewish people to live amongst their own kind. It is National Zionist because it opposes all imperialist tendencies, whether they are concerned with the financial exploitation of others, or as is the case with Israel and Palestine, with the theft of land which belongs to other people.
Historical support for Zionism from within Socialist circles include the following, which we gratefully quote from the site http://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/gercke.htm (full written permission was obtained from the author Randall Bytwerk and can be seen on request):
Solving the Jewish Question
by Dr. Achim Gercke
All proposals that include a permanent presence, a permanent regulation 
        of the Jews in Germany, do not solve the Jewish Question, for they do 
        not eliminate the Jews from Germany (denn sie lösen die Juden 
        nicht von Deutschland). And that is what we want to do. If the Jews 
        are able to exploit their host peoples forever, they will remain a constant 
        source of the open, destructive flame of Bolshevism, making it easy to 
        repeatedly kindle it again, not to mention the political uncertainties 
        resulting from disunity within the people and the danger to racial unity. 
        Let us swear off such thinking forever, whether it results from poor thinking 
        or evil intentions. To summarize, the state can and must focus on systematical 
        elimination, on emigration.
If we destroy any organizational cooperation of the Jews and expel the 
        dangerous, subversive Jewish agitators who show any signs of conspiratorial 
        activities, the Jews will still have the synagogue, the rabbi, to shield 
        them. If we support Zionist plans and attempt an international solution 
        by establishing a homeland for the Jews, we will be able to solve the 
        Jewish Question not only in Germany, but in Europe and the entire world. 
        The entire world has an interest in such a solution, on eliminating this 
        source of disorder, which constantly proceeds from Bolshevism. We must 
        establish that clearly.
Perhaps the Jews will be able to become a nation, a people. That would 
        require that Jewish workers, craftsmen, and settlers would develop from 
        the Jewish population. If we regulate this plan, they we will create new 
        foundations for such a settlement. Scattering the Jews to the four winds 
        does not solve the Jewish Question, but rather makes it worse. A systematic 
        program of settlement, therefore, is the best solution.
Plans and programs must have a goal pointing to the future. They may 
        not be focused only on a temporarily unpleasant situation. A better future 
        demands the systematic solution of the Jewish Question, not the organization 
        of the Jews.
We must build our state without the Jews. They can be only stateless 
        foreigners among us, with no legal permanent standing. Only so will Ahasver 
        [the legendary wandering Jew] be forced to take up his 
        walking stick again, and then turn it into  axes and spades.
The End of Jewish Migration
by Dr. Johann von Leers
The only imaginable, positive solution that will finally resolve the
         Jewish problem in Europe and at the same time provide the real possibility
         of becoming a people, of becoming rooted to land, and even perhaps allowing
         its less valuable elements to be influenced by the more valuable elements,
         is a healthy region outside Europe. The Dutchman von Dinghene, in his
         book Vollzionismus, has proposed the island of Madagascar,
         but  one could also imagine certain other suitable African or South
         American  regions. On the one hand, such a settlement area must give
         the Jewish  people a space where they can work productively, within
         the framework  of providing space for peoples who now lack space. On
         the other hand,  in those countries where the Jews are being separated
         from the Gentile  population, the Jews will lose a large number of
         jobs. They must today  be trained in work groups, receiving education
         in practical skills and  agriculture so that they will be prepared to
         settle in this area. Those  major Western European colonial powers,
         who are always worked up about  the Jewish Question and its effects
         in Eastern and Central Europe, without  however really seeing the connections,
         would perform a work not only of  humanity, but also statesmanlike wisdom
         that would bring peace to the  world and the solution of one of its
         most serious problems were they to  make such a settlement area available.
         That would not only relieve Europe  of the Jewish problem, but also
         enable Jewry to become a people.
Of course, there is a danger that such a Jewish settlement area would
         become a world-famous El Dorado of criminality, given the deep moral
        decay  of a large part of Jewry. There will have to be a force to provide
        just  and honest supervision. This would also be possible, and details
        could  be worked out. The danger may not hinder a broad solution of the
        Jewish  Question by resettling Jewry to an appropriate settlement area
        outside  of Europe. We propose this to the world: Give Ahasver a homeland,
        as far  as possible from us, but sufficient and attractive. If he makes
        of it  a garden he may keep it, and will be protected. If, however, he
        makes  of it a den of thieves, then one will keep him there. However,
        we must  attempt a decent solution to this question. Those Jews who for
        centuries  have recognized the battle of the Jewish Question are called
        to contribute  to a real solution, those Jews who recognize that the
        dream of Jewish  world domination has failed, and who are therefore ready
        to become a people  among peoples. Those peoples among whom the question
        burns the hottest  because of the Jewish masses among them area also
        called, particularly  the major Western European colonial powers with
        vast possessions, for  it cannot be permitted that a decent solution
        be prevented by cheap humanitarian  slogans. With a single blow the
        Jewish question, which has always surfaced,  can be resolved.
The above historical justifications of Zionism are arguments we applaud and share.  However, there is another alternative to Assimilation which we need to give our attention to.  This alternative is Bundism.  At first glance, Bundism seems to be a half-way house between Assimilation and Zionism, and therefore a step back towards multi-culturalism.  This, it is not.  SWPE believes that Bundism offers an immediate solution to our woes, whereas National Zionism offers a long-term and final solution to the woes of Jews and non-Jews.  A new writer for SWPE will highlight this important area of discussion in depth.  It is no exaggeration to state that a synthesis of National Zionism and Bundism may be the long sought after peaceful and just solution to the Jewish Question.
