Jewish Historians Demolish Zionism [ A great quote on Israel from the late popular science writer Isaac Asimov ]

Why are anti-Zionist Jewish scholars, intellectuals and historians such a weak voice ? Even apart from the century old ideal of " socialist internationalism " ANY ethnocentric nation-state is a mockery even of bourgeois democracy . The mainstream news media -for rather obvious reasons - insists on equating anti-ZIONISM with anti-Semitism. And for months now it prefers to focus on spurious incidents of anti-Semitism on college campuses USA rather than on Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine. A great quote on Israel from the late popular science writer Isaac Asimov : [“I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back. " ]
