‘The Most Evil Enemy of the Jewish Proletariat’: The Bundist Case Against Zionism
As Zionism was taking shape in the late 19th century, parallel Jewish anti-Zionist movements were emerging as well.
Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina pose the question: Was the creation of a Jewish ethno-nationalist state at the expense of Palestinians inevitable? And what other Jewish futures once existed before the creation of Israel?
To answer these questions, they are joined by Palestinian cultural historian, educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum and Molly Crabapple, an artist, writer and author of ‘Here Where We Live Is Our Country.’ Her book is a remarkable exploration of the Jewish Bund, a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that once represented a completely different Jewish political future.
suggested reading: "the foundations of zionism" by sabri jiryis, palestinian scholar fluent in arabic, english and hebrew. he studied all the works of founding fathers of zionism (herzl, nordau, lilienblum, jabotinsky) and also writes about the 'bund'.
he also has interesting stuff to say about the 'haavara', an official cooperation agreement from 1933 to 1939 between zionists and nazi germany (yes, you read that correctly).
Ashkenazi Jews are just subbotniks on steroids. Zero ties to the Levant. They're merely Slavs, Turks, and eastern Europeans who converted to Judaism. Converted like mad.
