Thank you for her statement on it. I still get red flags from it though and will continue to push politicians to the left.
My position is that all people that still proclaim they are Zionist or “willing to speak with Zionist” should be viewed the same as we have, historically at least, viewed Nazis. They should be not be a part of any political conversation. And anyone that attempts to connect broadly the “concerns” of Jewish Americans with Israel should be condemned and removed from political office. And this goes for Jewish Americans that use their Jewish identity as a shield to support Israel. Though it is often most used by Christian Zionist.
I am willing to “talk with” people that do not have this hard of a stance. I am not willing to talk with people that proclaim they are Zionist or “liberal zionist” or whatever. There is no more discussion to be had with them that does not just attempt to keep their ideas of Jewish supremacy alive and normalized.
We are not at that point yet. I realize that. But, until we are, I will continue to unapologetically criticize anyone that yeilds any ground to these Zionist framing or normalizations. This means I’ll criticize “good people” sometimes and that is entirely fine.
