   In right wing parlance, I am an anti Israel ideologue.

   I am against the state of Israel because I think it is wrong to build a country on the principle that only one ethnoreligion is accepted as worthy of full citizenship. Such a principle is indistinguishable from the viewpoint of the Fascist Italians and the Nazi Germans, and it is ridiculous to act like this isn't the case.

   This is not to diminish the suffering of Jews. To the contrary, I am motivated exactly by opposition to the historical drivers of Jewish suffering: empire and ethnoreligious nationalism.

   It is hypocritical to celebrate the story of the Exodus, of freedom, while backing the horrific occupation and subjugation of the Palestinians.

     Even Albert Einstein, the much vaunted left-Zionist, noticed the latent racism and fascism that was present in the Zionist politics of his day.

     Many Jewish intellectuals, from the earliest days of Zionism, have foresaw its most fascistic tendencies and sought to prevent the very thing that is happening today: the gradual liquidation of an entire people.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
