the current excuse to hate jews is blamed on Zionism. What was hitlers excuse? What was the excuse of the hundreds of others who persecuted jews prior to Zionism? They always seemed to find something.
Just to be clear, I was never on hitler's side. I never supported people who hated on jewish people because they are hard working. I think it's ridiculous! Everyone should be able to do what they want, and be as succesfull or hardworking they can be or want to be.
But, as devastating as world history can be, zionism is a extreme political movement made By politically motivated jews, not religiously motivated jews, and hence it doesn't make zionism representable for judaism, no? On a personal level I feel zionism was established as in "fuck you world, we've had it, we want to be on our own" and I can understand that but that doesn't make putting things upside down and into another kind of extremism good.
For example, I would have no problem to have a jewish president.... just as long as HE, not she
, is an orthodox jew.
