What is Zionism

[sheshe2]

26. This is also some fascinating history of Rabbi Morris S. Lazaron.

Lazaron was a founder and co-president of the anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism. Lazaron's anti-Zionism was uncontroversial until after the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel, which lead to the severing of ties between Lazaron and Baltimore Hebrew and his resignation as rabbi emeritus in 1946*.

Lazaron was forced to resign after refusing to comply with a request from the synagogue's board of directors to refrain from attacking Zionism in his sermons. While opposing Jewish nationalism, political Zionism, and the establishment of a Jewish state...

...he began to critique Zionism after visiting Nazi Germany during the 1930s. (!!)

*1946 was two years before the actual creation of the state of Israel.

And also this:

In 1934, Lazaron wrote a letter defending the use of Jewish quotas in American universities. He claimed that "Too many of our Jewish students are going into medicine" and felt it necessary to "to divert, if possible, the increasing flow of Jewish students into this profession.."

This article also goes into some of his opinions of "Zionism" and "Nationalism", which like other things are only excuses....

Not exactly the guy you want to speak for the Jewish people or Israel.
