As some one who is pro-Palestinian with a Jewish daughter-in-law and a Jewish granddaughter,
I strongly argue for a separation of Judaism and Israel since very few in Israel are actively Jewish
THere are jews who specifically believe that Israel (i.e., Zionism) is *wrong*, because they believe they will get it back when God gives it to them, not when they succeed in taking it. See, e.g.:

What I meant to write was:
for a separation of 'the equivalence of Judaism and Israel'.
I received a message off list which pointed out how unclear my message was.
I also would like to add that, IMHO, being pro-Palestinian does not equate with being anti-Israel.
