Feeling Persecuted Among Jews, Anti-Zionist Jews Wish For Some State Where They Might Find Refuge

Anti-Zionists fear that they cannot entrust their continued existence to the whims of the majority of their ethnic minority.

Berkeley, April 14 – A group of Jews whose ideology denies the centrality, necessity, and morality of Jewish sovereignty, and thus pits them against the vast majority of their coreligionists, has begun to sense that the animosity they face from other Jews over the issue has victimized them and rendered them dissidents, making them unsure they can rely on the forbearance of that majority to guarantee the minority’s safety and raising the question whether it might be time to consider establishing a country of their own where they can take control of their own security.

Anti-Zionists, a sliver of a Jewish population that already represents only a fraction of a percent of the world’s population, have in recent months noticed a sharpening increase in animosity from other Jews, more than ninety percent of whom identify as Zionists and see anti-Zionists as merely another variety of antisemite. The loosely-affiliated anti-Zionists fear that they cannot entrust their continued existence to the whims of the majority of their ethnic minority, and, seeking ways to ensure their future without depending on that unreliable majority, have hit upon the notion of creating a sovereign state where they can develop, sustain, and defend themselves not through the fickle mercies of the rest of Jewry.

“It might be time to consider taking matters into our own hands,” allowed Richard Silverstein, a Seattle-area blogger. “For too long, we’ve simply assumed, or been unwilling to contemplate alternatives, that the best we can do is try to be model citizens of this nation, contribute s best we can, and maybe expect the majority to accord us rights, or at least not molest us. But it’s been more than a century has passed since the inception of anti-Zionism as a movement, more than a century in which we’ve proven to the vast majority of other Jews exactly what we contribute to them, and for some reason that’s only increased resentment. There’s still outright hate that I admit flows in both directions.”

“So perhaps we should remove ourselves from needed to depend on their good graces,” concurred Max Blumenthal. “If only there were some place we could call our own home, really just our own, where we wouldn’t have to define ourselves only by contrast to the majority; where we could nurture a culture that’s truly ours and not just an outgrowth of perpetual outsider status among our own people. Most importantly, we’d be free of the immediate and direct interactions with people whose treatment of us on a good day involves spitting and insults.”

“Gosh, if only there were some visionary who could articulate something compelling for us to follow,” he added.
