Not pleased that this piece appears on Mondoweiss: "What is interesting about the article is that it – as is usual – identifies Jews as Ashkenazim only. For all that Massad has relationships with Mizrahi Jews, his thinking remains monocausal and racist. Jews never lived in the Middle East and all discussion of Jewish identity and Zionism must be tied exclusively to Europe." Comrade Joseph has written extensively on the distinction between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim, but he is talking about the leadership of Zionists who were and are still Ashkenazim.
