Last week, at a Passover seder doubling as an anti-Israel protest, Naomi Klein called for an exodus from Zionism. The delight many take in passing around this Jews denunciation of Zionism reflects our topsy-turvy universe. A few, marginalized, anti-Zionist Jews snare massive headlines, as the overwhelming majority of pro-Israel Jews feel marginalized. Klein is wrong. On Oct. 7, many Jews experienced an exodus to Zionism, not from abandoning their delusions that Jew-hatred had ended and Hamas was pragmatic.
Trying to reject the false idol of Zionism, Klein demonized the Middle Easts only feminist-friendly, LGBTQ+-welcoming, democratic state as a militaristic ethnostate. Profaning the holiness of the Passover seder, she proclaimed tonight we say: It ends here.
What she called Our Judaism is internationalist, cannot be protected by Israels rampaging military, and is not threatened by people raising their voices in solidarity with Palestine, because in that chorus lies both our support and our collective liberation.
Really?
Kleins Our Judaism distorts Jewish history. Accusing Israel of colonial land theft negates Jews 3,500-year-old indigenous roots. Charging ethnic cleansing overlooks the U.N.s 1947 partition plan and every other compromise Palestinians rejected. And crying genocide perverts thewords meaning eliminating another nation: the Palestinian population quintupled since 1948, and grew by 35% since 2009, when Klein first accused Israel of genocide.

It would be equivalent to saying Clarence Thomas speaks for all African Americans.
Naomi Klein is a left wing activist, author and filmaker and does not represent mainstream Canadian thinking, and she should stay there.
Zionism is simply support for Israel as a Jewish state. It is not against a Palestinian state.

(6,243 posts)Jews are NOT a protected class of people here.
Racism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, xenophobia, ageism. . .these are all protected and subject to Title IX protection.
Jews aren't, so claims of anti-Semitism can be ignored. Hating Jews is part of the right and the left in this country.
We are completely alone as we always have been being Jewish.
Being being disabled (well physically is) isn't really protected, being in the month I have been back in the States from 17 years overseas, I've had my ADA disabilities and the medication I use for them (which has with side-effects that affect my physically) used against me to the point I won't continue doing my Teacher certification transfer from AZ to PA for it after how I was treated as a sub here.
My Asperger's, Bi-polar, and diabetes, along with the five medications I take for them, affect me big time and the medication literally zombifies me around 1:00PM to the point I start passing out. When I explained that, I was told it doesn't matter about that.
We have a big bigotry problem here now. At least my green card holding Chinese wife is protected.
