Liberal Zionism in the Age of Trump
Avec l’arrivée au pouvoir de Trump, la contradiction vécue par nombre de Juifs américains entre l’attachement au libéralisme américain (inclusif) et l’attachement au sionisme (exclusif) risque de devenir intenable - une analyse du philosophe Omri Boehm.
That difficulty was apparent earlier this month at an event at Texas A&M University when Richard Spencer, one of the ideological leaders of the alt-right’s white nationalist agenda — which he has called “a sort of white Zionism” — was publicly challenged by the university’s Hillel Rabbi Matt Rosenberg, to study with him the Jewish religion’s “radical inclusion” and love. “Do you really want radical inclusion into the state of Israel?” Spencer replied. “Maybe all of the Middle East can go move into Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. Would you really want that?” Spencer went on to argue that Israel’s ethnic-based politics was the reason Jews had a strong, cohesive identity, and that Spencer himself admired them for it.
The rabbi could not find words to answer, and his silence reverberates still.
