Both the United States and Israel are examples of historical EXCEPTIONALISM ?


Where is the scientific historical evidence that Jews are and were uniquely oppressed among the peoples of the world ? They just deserve their own EXCEPTIONAL state - no matter who was there first ? And why ? Everywhere people are alike in reacting to oppression and oppressors. Jews have been both oppressor and oppressed. The late science writer Isaac Asimov made this point face to face with Ely Wiesel.
Is the world to believe that both the United States and Israel are examples of historical " exceptionalism " ?
There are ACLU lawyers in the USA who are pillars of " diversity " and secularism . But they are blind to APARTHEID Israel .
Lawyer Alan Dershowitz - now an unofficial member of President Donald Trump's legal team - a while back wrote a cranky book claiming that American Jews were still not - by his criteria - first class citizens of the United States. Who should be second and third class citizens ? White working class " deplorables " ?

In the United States or in modern Israel SOCIALISTS seek EQUALITY for all . FIRST CLASS citizenship anywhere is only a snob's dream.
Of course, Israel has a right to exist- but not as the new South Africa. Hardly anybody " on the left " questioned a whole people's right to exist.
How can any American citizen with a spark of democratic ideals bless Zionist Israel ? And still sing about sweet DIVERSITY ?
It is now imperative to hear from public intellectual Jews who share the late Howard Zinn's negative view of Zionism. Among them today are too many sheepish fellow travelers. Is not IDOLATRY-state worship- still an Old Testament sin ?
Will young American soldiers and sailors soon be dying to make the world safe for Greater Israel - a worthy partner of American imperialism and the " Old Europe " New Colonialism in the Middle East ?
Image result for Israel -the new South Africa ?
