Peter Beinart is wrong: Palestinian hostility to Israel is frequently anti-Semitic

21. Zionism, Jewish self-determination, is a "racist ideology?"

Even the rampantly antisemitic, human rights allergic, and rampantly corrupt United Nations jettisoned that canard back in 1991.

However, I'm curious, is Palestinian self-determination also a "racist ideology," or are Jews the exception to the rule?

If you don't understand why Zionism is a human rights movement, you've clearly never studied or researched the history of the Jewish people anywhere on the planet (and not just 19th century Europe).

The day the Democratic Party adopts anything close to a "Zionism = racism" platform, is the day I'll leave the party, and according to virtually all polls, most Americans would be similarly revolted and disgusted. It's exactly this double standard nonsense concerning Jews why most Israelis, no less the wider diaspora of Jews, are leery of the "peace process" and are not willing to trust people and groups who would so readily deny them rights and ignore their four thousand year history in the Levant.
