Yesterday, June 27, Alon Confino, my dear friend, brilliant scholar, and true humanist, passed away following a difficult illness. This is a tremendous loss to his family, friends, and the entire scholarly community, as well as to me personally. May his memory be a blessing.

[Laura Almagor @LauraAlmagor]

I wrote this as a micro-contribution to the current moment. Old ideas with perhaps just a tiny bit of new relevance for some...

[New Lines Magazine @newlinesmag]

NEW: Though a product of Zionism, Jewish territorialism became one of its main critics in the early 20th century. Its history teaches us something about what Zionism is, but also about what it could have been, writes @LauraAlmagor. https://t.co/VG25kSg4yB

[Ben Gidley @bengidley]

This ended up a bit longer than we expected. Very interested to hear your thoughts. Let us know if you want to add your name or write a critical response. Please share widely.
