As usual, Dan, you look 'facts and reality' in direct, truth telling gaze. To my non-Jewish ethnicity but from my heart to which Jewish passion for justice calls, I see Judaism not as dead but as living its true self in the young, in JVP, If Not Now, Btselem, Beinart, Braverman and Blumenthal - and in the gatherings here in DC (July 24 as an example) where the Jewish voice was strong enough to bring comfort and courage to all of us present. Thank you for this work. And the research which supports the concepts of such books as Carolyn Karcher's "Reclaiming Judaism from Zionism'. Each story is an epiphany.
Thank you mr. Lieberman. Like all colonization projects by those in power, always the destitute and vulnerable, poor people were used to colonize lands of native people.
Yes. political and social movements by Jews who disregarded Zionism, warrant discussion. The high number of commentators and magazines , none of which valued Zionism, is also interesting. Until the aftermath of the 1967 war, Zionism had little support in the Jewish community.
An amazingly insightful article on Jewish history and the demise of Zionism in Israel. Dan Lieberman has written a masterful essay which deserves several readings. I would like to share it with students in my course on "Contemporary Conflicts"

No mention at all of the Jewish Labour Bund, the largest political movement in the Jewish world in the inter-war period?
