Do people think all of Israeli society is just a team of crackheads making bombs in their basements? Israel is a fully-functioning, industrialized society. It is a capitalist society, which necessitates having a proletariat.
Being anti-imperialist requires pressure from the periphery AND core. We cannot just sit around and pile blame onto people who are on our side. Antizionism is anti-imperialism. So why are we attacking antizionists?
A little disappointed in Noah. JVP is one of the few explicitly antizionist orgs in America. Those salaries are the cost of living in NYC or LA. Besides that, their goal is political action in America, and I'm sure their contributors also donate to Palestine.
Let me show a quote from their website, "We envision the apartheid wall in pieces on free Palestinian soil. We envision Israeli prisons emptied. We envision Palestinian refugees returning to their ancestral lands and reuniting with their families and communities."
Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed responds to a visibly upset Iranian-American student at the University of Michigan, telling him that U.S. military interventions, sanctions, and regime-change wars often advance corporate interests and harm civilians, rather than promote democracy and freedom.

El-Sayed: Perfect. For me, it’s going to be Madame Vice President.
The American mind cant comprehend the real definition of capitalism because it forces them to reckon with being exploited as a proletariat. Their deep love for a fantasy capitalism forces people to use words like "crony" or "corporatism" to describe their crisis.
FOX: You say you're a capitalist, what do you mean?
El-Sayed: Capitalism is the process by which we enable supply and demand to allocate capital so that it's the most productive in an economy. We are not in a situation where we have capitalism, we have corporatism.
