If the IDF eliminates all the Hamas psychopath terrorists, the “anti-Zionists” can say whatever they like. At that point however they will likely shut up because they will be afraid. Fear is a great clarifier for Communist academics in a way that common decency, history, and reason are not. Canada and the rest of the British Commonwealth have lost their minds and any kind of moral compass. We in the USA are about 30 minutes behind you, but maybe under Trump we can change directions forcefully enough to make a difference. We shall see.
Important analysis. "But with anti-Zionism, proponents claim to live on a special moral platform where moral consistency doesn’t matter"--exactly. Anti-Zionists also often seem to operate as if they are on some time machine that can take us back to pre-WW2 Europe. In pre-WW2 Europe, some young Zionists ran away from home in the middle of the night to go to the British mandate of Palestine because their parents were anti-Zionists. At that time, anti-Zionism was indeed not antisemitism but was simply the worldview of people such as these parents who did not want their young-adult children to leave home in Poland and other countries and go to the British mandate of Palestine. They wanted their children to stay home and live as Polish Jews, etc. Of course, most of those parents do not have a grave because they were murdered in Nazi death camps. And at that time, the antisemites were surprisingly Zionist. My grandfather in Poland grew up to the chants of, "dirty Jew, go to Palestine." But today, Israel is a reality, and to be anti-Zionist means to covertly support the agenda that strives to destroy the home of about half of the world's Jews. Antisemitism is an addiction, and anti-Zionism might be the only way for people in polite society to get a supply of this free metaphorical drug that too many seem to enjoy.
Well done. The only criticism I have (as if anyone cares) is that there were no Palestinians (as far as I can discover) in 1948. The "indigenous Palestinian People" weren't created until the 1960s.
Nicely done and correct on every level. As for Drake, not a fan, though hard to see him getting dissed so roundly after the odious and less talented marketing genius kendrick lamar gets more fame, glory, and $$$ by calling Drake out for being a Jew.
