The interesting thing about the Tankie love of the term "liberal Zionist" (or its variant here, "I'm not a Zionist but-") is that it seems to encompass a variety of the following positions:
"I live in Israel, but hate Netanyahu and Likud."
"I don't live in Israel and don't ever want to move there, but still hate Netanyahu and Likud."
"I want a two-state solution."
"I don't believe in any states, including Israel, but am against people using anti-Zionism as an excuse for antisemitism."
"Zionism is not a monolithic movement."
"I support the Standing Together movement."
"There's no excuse for how Israel is treating Palestinians, but it's still fucked up to vandalize a synagogue in Europe or the US to protest that."
If your definition of a supposed movement is that broad, then it's really not much of a movement at all, now is it?
The only thing this positions actually seem to have in common is that they're telling some anti-Zionist activists that it's not OK to be antisemitic or blame Jews in general for the actions of the Israeli government.
And if that feels you with a murderous rage, well... maybe it's time to consider why you feel that way.
For someone like archaeocommunologist, though, there's probably no hope. Currently, the vast majority of his blog consists of him picking fighting with Jewish users.
