A very tough read for westerners, very confronting. It’s very clearly written by a Maoist, though I find it hard to find a point of disagreement except at very abstract levels. But very powerfully written a d brings it back to material support or opposition. I do think it might rely a bit on a martyr complex, but the argument works because there’s no organized, materially anti-zionist movement among western Judaism. So lacking even an ineffective martyr is still fairly noteworthy.
I found it hard to accept such a damning account, but I experience that more from maoist writing. I guess that is to say, jews that want to be anti-zionist should probably organize (not the zionist communist party, like one that will really confront the moment) instead of being a martyr who falls to adventurism.

Otherwise great piece. Thanks for sharing
