Anyone who defends diaspora as some kind of good existence for Jews must be forced to explain how the Holocaust, the Farhuds, the Russian pogroms, the Dreyfus and Damascus libels, European "scientific" antisemitism, etc etc, fit into this concept. /1

What this antiZionist polemic attempts to do is acknowledge that Zionism was largely a failure in Europe and we know it by looking at the 6M exterminated Jews. Ben Gurion, in 1957, wrote:

This antiZionist polemic brazenly tries to persuade us that 6M dead Jews in Europe was better for the perpetuation of the Jewish people than the 600K Jews in 1948 who founded the Jewish state.
Now go back read the article with that in mind. Deny it if you dare.

Addendum: Spinoza, in his Theologico-Political Treatise recognized that Jews are a people, a nation, and that Judaism doesn't make sense in the diaspora, so strong are its cords to the ancestral homeland. Therefore,

I've become quite inured to the absurdities concocted by the "Exterminate Israel" lobby on Twitter, trying to pass for "criticism of Israel policies". But this took the cake, to speak punningly. @cgallagher036 blames Israel for the preponderance of obescity among Palestinians.

@RashidaTlaib @RepRashida is a Congress Representative. Were she simply an idiot, she wdn't matter. But she is a medieval-quality antisemite, disseminating blood libels about Jews murdering children.

She defines American Democracy if the party she serves doesn't punish her. /1
Earlier today @RashidaTlaib @RepRashida tweeted 👇, stating that Congressmen, with all the might of the powerful legislative branch behind them, are "speaking truth to power" when they criticize microscopic Israel. /2

This tweet by @ArielElyseGold is proof that she's not AT ALL concerned with Palestinian statehood but with stripping the Jewish state of its power to defend itself. A stupid, privileged, idle, talentless, needy, (99.7%) white Euro-American telling Jews their lives have no value.
Can you fire up your few grey cells, @ArielElyseGold and force yourself to actually learn and THINK before you send out your unfathomable stupidities?
