"We need a broad, open debate in the American Jewish community on Zionist BDS, because that's a key step to getting the progressive edge of American Jewish opinion to start adopting it."
But why would we bother to replace one racist agenda with another? I'm sure Beinart's a likeable enough guy in his personal life. I've been impressed with the range of critical opinions he's curated on Open Zion, and am sure he doesn't cross the street to kick puppies. That said, his proposal is designed expressly to preserve the Jewish ethnocracy, and to bolster his own racial privilege at the expense of the rights of others (Palestinian refugees and '48 Palestinians). I rather think that "the progressive edge of American Jewish opinion" consists of Jews supporting the Palestinian struggle on its own terms, rather than clinging to fading hopes of a racially-exclusive polity on someone else's ethnically-cleansed land.
