Abraham, I don't know if I agree at all with what you are proposing or your definition. You state, in a contemporary fashion, and in line with Zionism that Jews are an "oppressed nation". I do agree that all political solidarity should be aimed at the Zionist state of Israel though calling it "Israel" really is the same thing such as "Israel's attempt to ethnically cleanse Jerusalem" or "Israel's attack on Gaze" clearly everyone with a working brain cell understands this.
There is no "Jewish people". There's no entity, collective, nationality, etc. There was, IMO, primarily among, like my own ancestors in Eastern Europe, who spoke Yiddish and suffered under the Tsar's oppression exactly as any other nationality did. World of our Fathers by Irving Howe goes into and parses this Yiddish based nationality, never, ever, to be confused with what we all became, assimilated persons in what ever country we ended up before the Holocaust. So your neat dovetailing with Zionists of the "people-nation" is only one of solutions and not of basic understanding of 21st Century Jewish folks. I would agree, too, that the issue of actual pro-Palestinian but antisemitic verbiage and slogans needs to be confronted when it rears it's ugly head.
