"The Jewish people ARE linked to the formation of Israel, the Jewish State."
As are those of us whose families opposed antisemitism and supported the Jewish State
Ther is no connection with the ideals that gave rise to he Jewish State and the ethnic cleansing policies of the present leadership, in fact those policies are directly responsible for the sharp rise in antisemitism
By hiding by Jewish history to defend policies comparable to those that made the formation of the state necessary is to paint a target on every Jew on the planet - there can be no 'self interst' for the Jewish people in that
A holocaust survivor once summed it up personally for me - "never again - not for anybody"
It's happening again
