JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: JUST TO STATE THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD "LIBERALISM" HIGHLIGHTS WHAT IS WRONG IN ISRAEL AND WHY ISRAEL ATTACKS CRITICS AND CALLS THEM NAMES

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN MONDOWEISS



“Anti-Zionism is a rejection of racism and imperialism, not just criticism of Israel”



Of course, absolutely.

But also, more broadly, a rejection of the anti-liberalism which dominates Israel.

I’m referring to “liberalism” not as a political alignment, but in its true sense, in the great Western tradition of supporting democratic and human values.

Israel represents direct conflict with those precious values.
