Crimson > Yet I have an article written by a Jewish writer for a mainstream jewish publication a few years ago that says flat out that Jews do in fact control much of the media.
I'm sure they do. Nonetheless, the Zionist/Jewish separation is a very real and important distinction to make. Jews, because of their history of oppression, genocide etc, are very sensitive to anything discriminatory against them and indeed, today, many are very liberal and would not oppress anyone else.
Zionists, on the other hand, are people who belong to a stated or tacit political movement, in other words, something involving the State of Israel. It is still legitimate to criticise them although many Zionists try to drag anti-Zionist criticism across the hate speech line and make it out to be anti-Semitism, even when it isn't. Furthermore, today, and as you know, there are also non-Jewish Zionists, namely the evangelists, and thus to criticise Zionists is thus clearly not anti-Semitic -- unless one specifically wants to focus one's criticism on to Jews as a religious group, something which I prefer not to do particularly because the very religious Jews are actually opposed to the State of Israel.

Furthermore, and to complicate the picture even more, there are some/many Jews in Israel who are actually pro-Palestinian and who are totally opposed the the present right-wing, Likud policies of the Israeli government. For what it's worth, my anti-Zionist/anti-Israel arguments are actually also directed against the present Likud policies of no war no peace and territorial expansion rather than against the existence of the State of Israel itself. |
