Whether someone believes the Jews should have a state is irrelevant. it exists. it's there, and so anti-Zionists , when writing whether Jews "need" a state are engaging in two things:
1. They are engaging in a mental masturbation with where they either ignore it (and the current situation around the world), or they engage in historical revisionist fantasy. A world where Israel never happened.
2. Engaging in privilege and some racism.
it is important to say the quiet part out loud sometimes:
The people who talk about "we don't need Zionism" are people who don't need Zionism. It's not for them any more than I don't need protections around my heterosexuality. The Privileged sometimes don't see, or don't want to see why anyone else needs protections.
I think pre-Israel discussions of Zionism can be interesting, ones written in 2024 aren't.
