This is something I've wondered about but never really seen an official leftist position on, and it's gotten a lot more relevant with the ongoing Palestinian uprising. Also curious if there is any good reading out there on this subject.

There are many reasons to dislike Sam Kriss, but his essay "Why Zionism Is Antisemitism" (CW for disability slur) hits the mark.

Zionism had to effect a dual colonialism: it had to seize, with violence, the land of Palestine, while also seizing the Jewish diaspora.

Never heard it put like that before, damn.
