Some ZIONIST Jews say " socialism is anti-Semitic " . What if they are right ?
Does it occur to these Jewish students that one way to fight anti-Semitism is to begin to identify with the OPPRESSED not their oppressors ? Working class people everywhere have no problem distinguishing between the two. And Israeli Zionism together forever with American imperialism has made itself odious to socialist internationalists for more than 75 years. A couple of generations ago not a few Jewish intellectuals were openly socialist or communist supporters of the old Soviet Union. This got them pariah status in the McCarthy era. Recall the execution of the atomic spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. THEY had the sympathy of the anti-capitalist , anti-imperialist world, That world is not quite GONE WITH THE WIND !
But ever since the 1967 war HUBRIS has poisoned the once sensitive Jewish social conscience. From refreshing COSMOPOLITAN to effete ethnocentric.
Hard to find a " successful " Jew today who is really " progressive " in the 1930s sense. Read socialist writer Irving Howe's " World of Our Fathers ".
If Howe were alive today , he would hear pro-Zionist Jews say that " socialism is anti-Semitic ". What if they are right ?
