1/ Tucker is wrong because the ADL opposing a "right of return" is about preserving a single, functioning refuge for an oppressed people, slaughtered in the millions *as Jews,* expelled from their countries *as Jews,* whose population today is still below pre-Shoah numbers. https://twitter.com/PeterBeinart/status/1381981619716812809">https://twitter.com/PeterBein...
2/ Surely Tucker understands the difference between what& #39;s described above and the situation of, say, Americans of English descent. But he doesn& #39;t care. He& #39;s about dulling rather than sharpening viewers understanding, for the sake of scoring his point.
3/ Peter is wrong because Tucker trying to score a point doesn& #39;t magically erase the justice of a stable Jewish refuge on, if my math is right, .004% of the world& #39;s land mass. A Jewish refuge means a state that grants preferential immigration to Jews. See https://www.bjpa.org/content/upload/bjpa/demo/Democratic%20Norms.pdf">https://www.bjpa.org/content/u...
4/ If Peter is arguing that having an extremist approvingly pointing to your position invalidates that position, it probably wouldn& #39;t work out so well for Peter. Here, e.g., is David Duke& #39;s website endorsing not just Beinart, but Beinart making the same argument he makes here.
5/ Or if you prefer, here& #39;s another article on Duke& #39;s website that points to historically black colleges in order to legitimizes maintaining all-white spaces. In Peter& #39;s view, does that invalidate arguments in favor of maintaining the character of historically black colleges?
6/ Last but not least, we shouldn& #39;t let pass Peter& #39;s attempt at a "Zionism is racism" revival—his tactic of suggesting "equality" must mean the end of Israel, and that those who support the existence of the Jewish state (MLK; an overwhelming majority of Jews) oppose "equality."
7/ As I put it in my critique of Peter& #39;s anti-Zionist essay (see https://www.camera.org/article/in-anti-zionist-manifesto-beinart-dismisses-mainstream-jews-and-facts/):">https://www.camera.org/article/i...
