“The resolution suggests that all anti-Zionism—it states—is antisemitism. That’s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,” said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. “The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities … have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.”
What pivot? That’s the argument presented. “The end of Israel does not require violence because Western nations can build a better nation for the Jewish and Palestinian peoples to live in harmony.” Does that actually deserve a full rebuttal?
