The enemies of Israel and of the Jewish people, who infest social media, have developed a new meme. What’s needed, they assert, is “Judaism without Zionism”.

This is the next step up from their mantra that “anti-Zionism isn’t the same as antisemitism”. Both statements are designed to deny that hating Israel means they hate Jews — perish the thought!

Some of their best friends are Jews, they maintain; it’s the Jewish state whose existence, alone of all the states in the world, that they oppose. Which apparently is absolutely fine.
