Zionist Jews are no friends of the socialist working class. Harvey Weinstein recently -before the sex predator scandal- told a pro-Israel audience that " WE " must imitate the Mafia in order to combat anti-Semitism. There was much applause.
If I condemn the Mafia am I denigrating Italians ? It does make a difference if not a few Jews in the mainstream news media are Zionist zealots.
In fact, many once " on the Left " Jews have abandoned international socialist ideals for the idolatry of state worship of Apartheid Israel.
Let the anti-Zionist Jews speak for themselves. The late Oliver Sacks described Zionists as " bullies " in his biography " Uncle Tungsten ".
Professor Howard Zinn was highly critical of Zionism.
How can any democratic socialist be anti-Semitic ?

Donald Trump's popularity in Israel is dismaying
To the editor: It is an incredibly sad reflection of the degradation of Israeli political discourse under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump could find supporters in Israel. ("Meet the Israelis praying for a Trump win," March 17)
As an American, I am terrified by Trump. History makes abundantly clear that once someone is allowed to say the things he says, those sentiments drift into being publicly acceptable and eventually, actually become possible.
