More quotes by Israel Shahak

You cannot have humane Zionism, it is a contradiction in terms.

We realize that by criticizing Jewish fundamentalism we are criticizing a part of the past that we love. We wish that members of every human grouping would criticize their own past, even before criticizing others.

Jewish History, Jewish Religion (1994)

This racist discrimination began in Zionism and is carried out today mainly in co-operation with the institutions of the Zionist movement.
