And yet Daniel Boyarin just published his own proof of a No-State Solution by 
way of Yale University Press which argues the opposite of the assimilationist 
paradigm here following by David Walters. In the No-state Solution he provides 
his own elaboration of how the Jewish People are a Nation, A Nation unlike 
other  Nations, sui generis.

The dismissal of my comments is indicative of a lack of imagination, or simply 
Protestant Anglo-Saxon cultural conditioning.

My own presentation of a transitional constitutional programme for The 
Federation of Palestinian and Hebrew Nations published in 2022 is labelled a No 
State Solution.

Dr. Weizfeld is entitled to his opinion but he is far from being the arbiter of 
all things Jewish. Judaism is a religion. It is the ONLY thing ties all those 
who describe themselves as "Jewish" together. There is IMO, no "Jewish People" 
as Mark B. noted above. Jewish-Americans are very simply "Americans" (in the 
vernacular we use in the U.S.). And in this sense no different than any other 
"American" including regional identification ("New York Jewish", etc). I have 
absolutely nothing in common, to site a real world example using myself with my 
Israeli cousins (around 20 of them). THEY are Israeli in every sense possible, 
I am not. I have a cousin in the UK also, they are totally "English". Meeting 
Moroccan Jews (who are Trotskyists in fact) in France only confirmed how 
meaningless the term "Jewish" means in any national sense whatsoever.

I'd argue two things. 1. "Israelis" are a nationality...or one is development 
grouped around their common identity in language (Modern Hebrew) and, their 
united in oppression of the indigenous Arab masses. 2. At one point in the 
past, the 18th Century through the Holocaust, Yiddish speaking Jews were a 
nationality in the most important ways (as against the entire RSDWP of Martov 
through Lenin beliefs) but it wouldn't of included, say, Hungarian Jews who in 
their majority, spoke German, or German Jews for the same reason. But no 
longer. That "People" no longer exist as a homogeneous regional nationality.


A very abbreviated explanation of my POV.
