Judaism ≠ Zionism

Though I oppose Zionism, I think there are approapriate ways of going about it, and publishing the statement above would be a wonderful way of doing to.

We do need to keep it clearly separated from anti-semitism. I remember reading one article recently of a protest in which one man was approached by a protestor and called a 'F***ing Jew.' He did support Zionism, but that's still not a reason to intimidate him and insult him as a Jew. Such actions only hurt the cause of justice in Israel, because then Zionists use such incidents to effect, make sure they get published, and thus can successfully portray the other side as anti-semite. Very effective PR on their side.

From a PR standpoint, I think it would make more sense, especially for non-Jews, to limit protests to petitions, letter-writing campaigns, and ideally even educational programmes, either at schools, in living-rooms, or in public libraries, but certainly not by intimidation and calling people 'F***ing Jew'. There are ways of doing it without attracting accusations of anti-semitism to ourselves, and I think publishing the statement above is definitely an effective way of doing so. It's conservative, in good taste, and yet gets the message across clearly while distancing itself emphatically from anti-Semitism at the same time.
