In this post, I will explain in a brief, general way what Zionism is, what Liberalism is (on one understanding of this rather ambiguous term), articulate some general Leftist principles that often accompany Liberalism, and explain how all of these things fit together.

In this post, I continue my reflections on the morality of Jewish immigration to The Holy Land in the 19th and 20th centuries. I focus on the accusation that Israel is guilty of colonialism, and characterizations of Palestinians as the indigenous people of The Holy Land.
In this post, I argue that most of the Jewish immigrants to the Holy Land in the 19th and 20th century came as refugees and not predominantly for ideological reasons.
In this post, I argue that the principle of "two-states for two peoples" is the only realistic and just resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In this post, I present some basic facts about circumcision in Judaism, as well as a hypothesis about its social role. I discuss how this hypothesis might bear on the moral justification for this practice.
In this post, I hypothesize about some of the thinking that might be behind Trump's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. I also articulate the complicated thoughts that many supporters of Israel have had about Trump's move.
In this post, I identify some general trends in recent controversies over remarks by left-wing figures in the U.K and the U.S.A. I focus on Rashida Tlaib's recent interview with Skullduggery as a representative example.
