On Zionism and Judaism.

Zionism is a difficult subject. There seem to be people who love making views about zionism and judaism and getting all fluffed up about it. The field is full of combative ideas, contentious theories, and partial judgements.

Judaism the most fertile faith on the planet didn't get that way by arguing, but by radically hybridizing with and isolating from other memes at different times.

So Zionism strikes me as a hybridization with those memes of Islam around submission to tribal imperative.

From my place in the play of history zionism seems colorful and pleasantly emotionally charged with melodrama.
