Thank you. The Zionism that was fed to me in my youth was based on a narrative that was truly distorted. I gave up on it many years ago, b ut it is good to see a large public presence of others who refuse to toe the Zionist line. The conflation of being anti Zionist with being anti Jewish has always been a false conflation fueled by the Zionists to keep American money and weapons flowing.
I volunteered with the anti apartheid movement in the 1980s. The apartheid state of Israel has lost its moral groundings. We will not let it destroy ours.
In Israel in 1996 I witnessed an intensely open democratic questioning of every thing. Peace-respecting Rabin had just been killed, Netanyahu was coming into power, people were questioning the treatment of Palestinians and their own future if peace was not an acceptable goal. I know that many Jews in Israel feel that same way now. This is not a one way black and white issue as Netanyahu portrays it to be - he has no right to close the door to even the possibility of understanding.
