Bleedin’ ‘eck. I wanted to write: Zionist ≠ Jewish
However, WordPress has a thing about “&” in the title when it’s doing its RSS feed. So, back to “!=” for ≠ (not equals)…

Margo has an interesting webdiary entry on her struggles with how to talk about the Zionist lobby (such as it is) without being branded an anti-Semite.
It is, of course, hard for moderate, often non-practising, left-wing Jews to talk about the policies of Israel, especially these days… I’m not sure that I completely sympathise with Margo’s “what did I say wrong?” attitude, but I’m entirely convinced that she understands the difference between “fundamentalist Zionists” (who include many Christians in the USA and here too) and Jews.
