The breakdown of the mainstream consensus on Israel is an opportunity for the left, specifically anti-Zionist Jews, to get their message across. We must seize it, and welcome those who are finally seeing the light.
One of the most important declarations in Israel’s history was issued last month: French President Emmanuel Macron said that Israel is fueling global antisemitism through its war crimes.
Macron spoke out after Israeli PM Netanyahu accused Europe of pouring “fuel on [the] antisemitic fire” with plans to recognize a Palestinian state. Macron wrote Netanyahu a long letter, turning the accusation back on him.
He said that Israel’s “murderous and illegal permanent war in Gaza,” was undermining the battle against antisemitism in France. Israel’s actions will “embolden those who use them as a pretext for anti-Semitism and endanger Jewish communities around the world.”
Macron’s argument is a heresy – if you say it out loud, you are accused of justifying antisemitism.
But any sensible person can see the truth in it. (more...)
From European leaders to American media personalities, Zionism’s rationale is crumbling
