Non-Zionist Jews have been driven out of every Jewish communal space and are vilified in the Jewish press as turncoats and traitors to the Jewish people. Supporters of Palestinian rights and nonviolent boycotts of Israel are likewise vilified as inveterate antisemites. However,

Zionists have lobbied for legislation that enforces legal penalties for supporters of BDS, but if you don't welcome them into your movements and spaces, you're enforcing an unfair purity standard.

As a Zionist, you have staked your survival on the existence of a Jewish ethnostate. You have not staked your survival on solidarity with marginalized peoples. You made your bed.

Pick one: Either you believe you need your own country at whatever moral and ethical cost, or you believe the downtrodden need to stick together against the forces of oppression. That is the choice between Zionism and diasporism.

If you have opted for the former, you have invalidated your claim to the latter.

The underlying premise of Zionism is that non-Jews will never stop othering us and that therefore we cannot count on non-Jews to ever have our best interests at heart and therefore cannot entrust them with our safety. So why are you seeking their safety instead of Zion's?

I marvel at the ability of liberal Zionists to tune out the cognitive dissonance that is their existence.

The same people who smugly say "the Bund's strategy for Jewish survival rightly died in the fires of Auschwitz" whine "Why aren't you showing us solidarity?"
