I agree GagaJo but it seems to be a political and moral mine field.

The Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, which studies this has said that it is not anti-Semitic to criticise a states land procurement policy, and I think that this can be easily separated from the Jewish faith.

However, I think Jewish grans (I am a humanist) would have greater knowledge about Zionism and the Jewish faith, although I do know that the Jewish faith existed thousands of years before Zionism which only started I believe in Russia during the nineteenth century.

Trying not to derail another thread.

Just wondering how others feel about this?

My position is that anti semitism and not supporting Zionism are two totally separate issues. I support the Palestinian right to existence.
