Excellent piece, Tony. The current re-framing of the Palestinian struggle is very powerful.

We do not see Jewish communities flourishing in any Arab states, and over 800,000 Jews have fled from those states, not because they were Israelis. I do not have a just solution nor do you l suspect. A Jewish State is an anomoly in international politics, but it is as anomalous as the Jewish people persecuted for 2 millenia and still at risk in countries worldwide. Your easy and unnuanced opinion belies a complex moral dilemma.

This does concern me, however I am so reminded that should antisemitism surge further in the west, the one group I can count on being there to defend Jews are the Palestinians, because they have spent their entire lives trying to explain what it is, and I'm glad they have largely taken to not feeling obligated to engage it now.
