Elder of Ziyon
You will never see me on the same platform as a Jewish person....You know what? They shouldn’t be beside us. They should be behind us. The only thing that I want to hear from a Jewish anti-Zionist is parroting what Palestinians say. A Jewish anti-Zionist shouldn't have an opinion about Palestine that is in any form contradicting the Palestinian position....So you will never see me—number one—platforming a Jewish voice, whatever they are, how good talkers they are, whatever it is.
Cohen writes:
Such a message is little short of humiliating for the motley crew of anti-Zionists of Jewish origin—Peter Beinart, Max Blumenthal, Abbie Stein, Alon Mizrahi, the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network,” among others—whose ravings from the safety of their living rooms continue to disfigure the public debate on the Middle East. It’s humiliating because it places them in the same camp as the vast majority of Jews who remain Zionists, when they have tried so hard to distance themselves from this community as stridently and as hatefully as possible. It’s humiliating because it tells them that, since they are Jews, they cannot be trusted and must therefore have every word they utter scripted by a Palestinian ideological commissar.
I would like to believe that among the supporters of Jewish Voice for Peace and similar groups, there are those discomfited by Marouf’s instruction to Jewish anti-Zionists to simply “parrot” the Palestinian line. I would like to think that they have enough pride in themselves and in their Jewish identity to recognize an insult when they see one.
Ben Cohen is way too optimistic. Jewish Voice for Peace, the Jewish Anti-Zionist Network and most of the others have already been following Marouf's rule slavishly for many years. Whenever there is the slightest crack in the anti-Israel edifice they are immediately threatened with cancellation, and invariably they meekly apologize and drink more of the antisemitic Kool-Aid to ensure they never make that mistake again. So by the time October 7 rolled around, practically none of them could even rouse themselves to say anything negative about murdering, burning, kidnapping and raping 1,200 people.
No, Jews are the last people in the anti-Zionist camp who feel free to say anything different from what Hamas says. And make no mistake - it is Hamas and PFLP whose opinions everyone is parroting, not the PLO.
