Very sorry you feel that way. Are you familiar with Illan Pape? If you have not done so please read his works on the origins and expansion of his native Israel. Or, read Ahad Ha'am, the founder of cultural Zionism as opposed to settler and militant Zionism. Or read the diary of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first :Prime Minister who enjoins his colleagues for honesty among themselves regarding their objective of driving the native Palestinians out of Israel. All these Zionists affirm that the battle between Palestinians and Zionists was started by the Zionists.
Very sorry you feel this way. Are you familiar with Illan Pape? If you have not done so, please read his works on the origins and expansion of his native Israel. Or read Ahad Ha'am, the founder of cultural Zionism as opposed to the dominant settler and militant Zionism. Or read the diary of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister, who enjoined "honesty among ourselves" regarding the objective of driving the native Palestinians out of Israel. All of these key prominent and early players affirm that the long battle between Palestinians and Zionists was started by the Zionists.
You start by citing the murdering, corrupt Arafat as a kind of sage rather than a man with the blood of many innocents on his hands and who didn’t have the courage to make the compromises necessary to actually deliver a state to his people. He must have chuckled that he convinced yet another American of his innocence.
Then you go on to cite at nauseating length a naive, biased rendering of Zionism by a group with no idea of how Jews ought to protect themselves from antisemitism other than to rely on the goodwill of others. The group does its best to identify Zionism only with European Jews while most of the backing of the current militantly Zionist Israeli government inconveniently comes from non-Europeans (who of course are the only people worth considering).
Anti-Zionism isn’t the same as antisemitism but it’s a good place to start looking for it — even if there are useful idiots among Jews who don’t realize the covering they are giving to people who could once again be depended on to try to murder Jews.
