"Zionism’s
enmity toward communist Jews would become a longstanding tradition.
When official American anti-Semitism targeted Jewish communists as
Soviet spies, and tried and executed Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953
on flimsy evidence, Israel did not utter a word in protest. (Israeli
rabbis, excluding the Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel, sent a plea to
President Truman appealing for clemency for the Rosenbergs, though some
of them later expressed public regret that they had signed it.)

When Hungarian fascists and Hitlerites were smuggled into Budapest from
the Austrian border by the CIA during the regime of Imre Nagy and began
slaughtering Hungarian communist Jews and Hungarian Jews as “communists”
in 1956, Israel and other Zionist Jews remained silent and remain so
today. Even when leftist Jews were targeted by the anti-Semitic
Argentinian generals in the late 1970s, Zionist Argentinian Jews and
Israel disavowed them, and Israel maintained its close alliance with the military regime.

Churchill’s explanation clarifies the connections between Protestant and
Jewish Zionism, between racialist nationalism and anti-racialist
communism, and between Zionist settler-colonialism and communist
anti-imperialism. The imperial racism shared by the British and the
Zionist movement toward the Palestinians and other Asians and Africans
rendered their presence on their lands, let alone their opposition and
resistance to settler-colonialism, of no import."***
