I'll be anti-Zionist when there is no more anti-Semitism
"In seeking a nationalistic solution to anti-Jewish persecution,
Zionism was inherently exclusionary of non-Jews. Virtually every
movement by an oppressed group to reclaim its identity from the
majority culture has found a need for a degree of separatism, as
demonstrated in Western societies by Black Nationalists, radical
feminists, and others. While such efforts have often brought charges
of "reverse discrimination" and "reactionary segregation," they are
generally seen by the Left to have merit to the degree that they allow
for autonomous development in a space relatively free from the
oppressive institutions of the broader society."
"Given the pervasive insecurity Jews have suffered as a minority in
virtually every society, perhaps Zionism can be seen as a kind of
global affirmative action. Just as the slogan "I'll be post-feminist
in the post-patriarchy" attests to the ongoing need for women's
liberation. I'll be anti-Zionist when there is no more anti-Semitism."
