Zionism is not Judaism
Reader comment on item: "Jewish" - Not the Same as "Pro-Israel"
Submitted by Franz von Fear (Germany), Aug 19, 2009 at 15:00
If many Jews reject Zionism, Zionism cannot claim to represent all Jews. Gathering in non Jewish supporters will not solve this dilemma, but only serve to deepen the rift between Jews who support Zionism and those who don't. Zionism's embrace of non Jews, who have persecuted Jews for milleniums, against Jews to forward its goals would be a treacherous act against the Jewish people.
