    Pirani added: “[Miller]’s opposition to Zionism is not opposition to the idea of Jewish self-determination or of a preponderantly Jewish state existing in the world, but rather, as he defines it, to the exclusive realisation of Jewish rights to self-determination within a land that is home to a very substantial non-Jewish population.”

    You can be a proud defender of Judaism whilst railing against the Israeli government’s actions, just as you can be a proud citizen of [x] country whilst not condoning, even condemning the actions of that government. It’s very sad that this point even needs to be emphasised

      I’m a proud Christian and do not condone evil actions committed by other Christians or those claiming to be. I am also proudly British yet acknowledge we have screwed up royally in the past. Just because you are proudly part of a group, doesn’t mean you have to defend it’s evil.
