Re: Mad Mel on antisemitism Archived Message Posted by AlanG on January 1, 2020, 2:24 pm, in reply to "Re: Mad Mel on antisemitism" 'Race' is a biological nonsense. We are all one species. Very strongly agreed. However, I have a problem with the use of language (like 'Jewish diaspora') which actually reinforces and perpetuates that very same nonsense. This example, in addition, helps perpetuate a historical falsehood which, in a tidy circularity, helps reinforce the very same othering which as you say helps float Zionism. The Palestinian diaspora is by contrast real.
