Criticise any Israeli government policy or action you want—but “Zionists” are not a single, malign collective. Reducing Jewish self-determination and Israel’s history to “Zionist land theft” echoes the old habit of blaming Jews—or a Jewish collective—for society’s wrongs.

The ban on Zack Polanski visiting Israel has been helpful to him in making it seem like the Greens have simply upset the Israeli government rather than passed an antisemitic policy.

It seems rather offensive to have named a python after Jodie Foster. It's one thing to call the animal Jodie but quite another to use her full name.
