Zionism: racist ideology

All nationalist ideas can be turn facisim when it becomes only thing in politics. Nationalisim should be stay in cultural area, not political one.

I agree with all those policies but one. If students want to do a degree in such useful subjects as women's studies, film criticism or art they should pay for themselves. We should subsidise medicine, engineering and anything else useful with a large bursary to cover fees and living expenses, the rest, bugger them.

Milliband is actually Kaufman's protege and shares many of his views on Israel.

Zionism was a response by Jewish nationalists to years of oppression in Europe. They believed having a homeland of their own would prevent future atrocities like the Holocaust, so began a campaign of bombing and killing in Palestine. After defeating an invasion by the Arab League, the Zionists seized control of the entire country (in violation of the UN two-state solution) and began a policy remarkably similar to the genocide the Jews endured in Germany and Russia. Palestinians are expropriated and beaten if they refuse to leave. Then they are concentrated in ghettos on the West Bank and Gaza and made to live in squalor and poverty. Naturally, this provokes much resentment, and ultimately violence (like the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland). The UN, rightly, recognised Zionism as a form of racism until President Bush pressured them into repealing the act:
