Ellen Willis: Is There Still a Jewish Question? Why I’m an Anti-Anti-Zionist
Essay excerpt from THE ESSENTIAL ELLEN WILLIS in Tablet Magazine.
Early ’90s, post-Bosnia conversation with a longtime political friend I’ve met by chance on the street: “I’ve come to see nationalism as regressive, period. I can’t use phrases like ‘national liberation’ and ‘national self-determination’ with a straight face anymore.”
“You know, Ellen, there’s one inconsistency in your politics.”
“What’s that?”
“lsrael.”
