I’m fine with the dissolution of these organs, and I’m not sure that the Nazi bar analogy works here. There’s still a difference between someone who practices Judaism and someone involved in the Zionist-supporting organizations. A person can be culturally Jewish and be vocally against support of Israel, and also for BDS, for example. There is a breadth of diversity amongst the Jewish diaspora, as well as a history of jewish-run cultural organizations that have disassociated from and denounce Israel and Zionism. This article diminishes this identity and work and lumps all Jews into one “morally bankrupt” basket.
For example, JVP, which is a large organization. There are enough thought leaders to support a conference on non-zionist traditions at Brown, and this is just one of many.
Anyway, I see I might be one of the few here who thinks that calling for Jewish people (any person who is Jewish will do!) to sacrifice their life for the struggle against Israel, and then setting that as the bar for proving that the Jewish people aren’t “morally bankrupt” is antisemitic, so I’ll just stop now.
