Geez Nadine - I don't know you but I like the way you think. You see things clearly and state the obvious without a bunch of "fudge"!

"But what about Jewish anti-Zionism? Is that a rare thing?"

Arthur Hays Sulzberger the publisher of the New York Timesfrom 1935 thru 1961 was a very prominent anti-zionist jew. In addition

<Sulzberger wasn't the only one at the Times who had a strained relationship with his own Jewish background. The influential columnist and Washington bureau chief, Arthur Krock, "was embarrassed of being Jewish," according to a source quoted by Ms. Leff. "Of nearly 1,200 Krock columns published during the war, not one mentioned the Jews' persecution," she writes.

It would be an exaggeration to say the Times entirely ignored the Holocaust. By Ms. Leff's own count, it published nearly 1,200 stories about the fate of the European Jews. In 1944, the year that the story received the most prominent attention, there were 12 front page articles and 13 editorials. Other newspapers didn't do much better, and, as Ms. Leff describes, the American government spokesmen in Washington weren't making a big deal of the fate of the Jews, either.>

What about the split in the communist party? I have Jewish friends whose grandparents were card carriers. There were factions that were pro and anti-Zionism.

May have spilled over into the war between Stalinists like Lillian Hellman and Trotskyites? Never quite been able to follow it and it may have been historical, i.e., the party's attitude toward Zionism went through changes over time.
