When your exemplars of anti-Zionism were mass-exterminated along with their families as a direct consequence of their anti-Zionism, everything that follows is a weak cope. How was the play otherwise, Mrs. Lincoln?
"hewing to the crude doctrines of might"
If only "might" was just a "doctrine." Monsters are inconveniently not tired of you just because you may be tired of them.
Fantastically bad timing to release a book about Jews finding solidarity where they are after Bondi Beach, after Pittsburgh, after Hyperkacher, after the broken windows and bullets in schools in Toronto...
Leave it to Anzis to be completely delusional when in reality Zionism provided the only successful refuge for Jews from Nazism and after the Nazis when the allies locked Holocaust survivor IDPs in concentration camps and the kind Polish massacred them in 1946 for returning to their homes. My 15 year-old grandmother escaped in 1939 to pre-Israel British Mandate along with her 12 year-old sister, while her parents were murdered in 1938 in the no-mans land between Germany and Poland, and her younger brother murdered in Auschwitz.
“Courage can be a form of service to others.” This line stood out. Made me think of the lack of courage we often witness in public service. Those elected to Parliament or Congress often fail to be courageous because they’re not really serving their constituents.

one thing to write about the Bund as a noble failure — but the idea that somehow history vindicated them (and not the GTFO dodge zionists) is wild

Anzis like Ms. Crabapple make Zionism's case again and again. https://sjhyde.substack.com/p/what-does-judaism-look-like-with
