Anti-Semites conflate Jews with Zionists. It's simply untrue. No, all Jews are not Zionists. Anyone who tells you they are is a racist liar. Here's an old post from SF-IMC that proves the point.
Zionism as a Racist Ideology (tags)
"Unconsciously, of course, many Americans also seem to believe that the shameful policies of the U.S. government toward Native Americans somehow make it acceptable for the government of Israel to pursue equally shameful policies toward the Palestinians. The U.S. needs to face its racist policies head on as much as it needs to confront the racism of its foremost partner, Israel."
What's So Bad About Israel? (tags)
Israel has pioneered the science of making life unlivable with as little violence as possible. The Palestinians are not merely provoked into reacting; they have no rational choice but to react. If they didn't, things would just get worse faster, with no hope of relief. Israel is an innovator in the search for a squeaky-clean sadism.
