Subject: RE: BS: Pilar Rahola on leftist anti-Semitism
Thanks, Wilfred, for pointing out that "the Zionist project" is a perfectly valid exression, with roots in Zionist writing.

It just means the goal of establishing and maintaining a homeland for Jews in Palestine - I used the expression rather than "Zionism" because that word can carry an implication that it is a much more united and coherent ideology than it ever has been.

People who share that goal can disagree very radically indeed about all kinds of things, such as the territory involved, or the rights of the other people who live there and have lived there.
