Zionism has NOTHING to do with Judaism. On Liberal Zionism is ‘impracticable and irrelevant’ — Daniel Solomon throws in the towel What a contrast. Ireland doesn't send us their best people. The country has the decency to ban settlement "goods." Meanwhile, in the U.S., what do we get? Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rupert Murdoch, Steve Bannon, Kellyann Conway, Newt Gingrich (nee McPherson). On Irish senate passes bill banning products from Israeli settlements "I left Gaza a year later, wondering how to be a Jew without Zionism." What is there to wonder about? From the time Jews were driven out of Palestine, whether in the 8th century BCE or the 6th century BCE, Jews in the Diaspora were Jews without Zionism for over two thousand, five hundred years. And yet we remained Jews, and Judaism did not die out. Most of Jewish culture derives from Jews' and Judaism's ability to survive without Zionism. Here's something to really wonder about: Can Jews and Judaism survive Zionism and survive the State of Israel "speaking for Jews?" On Zionism ate my religion, and I am taking it back James Miche: Yes we can. On ‘This is apartheid, there is no better word for it’: Calls for boycott growing among mainstream Israelis And to make sure the kids are not in school, so Israelis can justify killing kids, Israelis bomb the schools. On Israeli government justifies killing child protesters in Gaza: They’re not in school I am an Older Jew. I am of Chuck Schumer's generation. In fact, I'm older than Schumer. He and his generation of Fake Jews (def: "jews" who violate the Commandments to not lie, steal, murder; "jews" who violate the teachings of Rabbi Hillel) should be just as terrified of us Older Real Jews (def: we LIVE the Commandments to not lie, steal, murder; we LIVE the teachings of Rabbi Hillel). We Old Real Jews are encouraged by the Young Real Jews who understand what their heritage really is. We Old Real Jews, who do not deny for a minute the reality and horror of the Holocaust, ALSO know that the Holocaust was not a free ticket to perpetrate another Holocaust. You can kill a people dead. But you can also kill a people alive. That is what the Zionists have been doing for 70 years, while denying to themselves that they are committing genocide; they believe that if they do it slowly enough, the world will not notice, and they will not be guilty. But the world sees; the Zionists cannot escape their guilt. The Young Real Jews terrify the Old Fake Jews because the Real Jews threaten to expose the Fake Jews - to themselves. On Older Jews are officially terrified of young Jews’ views of Israel the consummate media careerist straddler on Israel and Palestine On Pro-Israel Democrats concede ‘human rights’ issue is killing the brand who's On Pro-Israel Democrats concede ‘human rights’ issue is killing the brand Phil: I would couch interpretation of Friedman this way: Israel (and Friedman) want to start from the assumption that Iran and Hezbollah want to attack Israel simply because they hate Jews, and do not want Jews in the Middle East, in "their" territory. No mention is made of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians since at least 1948, "in the name of Jews and Judaism." On Thomas Friedman justifies slaughter of Arab civilians by ‘crazy’ Israel I am a Jew living in the United States.
