Zionism is a progressive cause that had the misfortune of success. As such, it is maligned for its very success in self-transforming victims into sovereigns, now cast as "privilege". But isn't the very goal of "progress" in progressive to move away from victim to self-possessed?

My piece in The Telegraph (Part 1) Abu Daoud, the man who planned the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, remained unrepentant to his dying day. In an interview in 2006, he expressed pride in the act, calling it a “strategic success”, because “we were able…

In the past century, all regimes obsessed with antisemitism and antizionism, which have consequently supported the Palestinian cause of no Jewish state, have found themselves in the dustbin of history: Nazi, Pan-Arabist, Soviet. The Ayatollah regime will meet the same fate. The…

It is not a coincidence that the more successful societies of the Arab world, the ones that are reforming and future looking are letting go of scapegoating the Jews. Antizionism is always the mark of failed societies seeking to blame others rather than take responsibility to act.

I've been asked how the American retreat from Afghanistan strikes Israelis. The answer is simple: self reliance. Yes, the US is a critical and valuable ally, but ultimately the Jewish people must defend themselves by themselves. We already knew that. It is just being reinforced.

Jewish Voices for Peace are neither Jewish nor for peace. Students for Justice in Palestine have only ever imagined only one kind of “Justice”: the annihilationist kind that rids the world of the “injustice” of the very existence of a Jewish state. Good riddance to both. @Columbia

I'm beginning to suspect that it's not that attacks on Jews in the West are the unfortunate and unintended consequence of the persistent demonisation of Israel, but rather the demonisation of the Jewish state is undertaken so as to re-legitimize attacks on Jews in the West.

Israeli governments, right or left, were never the obstacle to a Palestinian state. A state was simply never the Palestinian goal, not if it meant the Jewish state remains next door. When Palestinians end their 100+ years war against Zionism they will have their state by Israel.

As I get older I find that I have less and less patience to calmly explain Israel and Zionism to anti-Zionists. I increasingly rely on Ephraim Kishon's great saying that while sadly Israel did not cure the world of antisemitism it did empower Jews to tell antisemites to shove it.

Foreign commentators blithely assume that Palestinians are fighting for “freedom”, “against occupation” or are “angered by settlements”. Palestinians have made it crystal clear for over a century in words, actions and key decisions that their goal is no Jewish state in the land.

To argue that Zionism is built on Jewish supremacy, as Linda Sarsour does, makes as much as sense as to argue that Feminism is built on female supremacy, Civil Rights on Black supremacy, or Slovak self-determination on Slovak supremacy. Zionism is about liberation and equality.
