https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/einstein/1948/12/02.htm If Einstein could have foreseen that his goal of a progressive bi-national state in Palestine - widely shared by others across the broad international left - was an illusion and that Fascist elements would come to dominate the new Jewish state, he almost certainly would not have lent his name to a statement endorsing the Zionist project: " The people of the Freedom Party have had no part in the constructive achievements in Palestine. They have reclaimed no land, built no settlements, and only detracted from the Jewish defense activity", it noted. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
