@BenRossTransit I guess I just don't think you read the same article as I did. Where does he say anything like that? Would you characterize Rick Perlstein's piece on revisionist Zionism the same way? i thought Mishra was pretty careful to draw a similar distinction, between Israels that might be, the Israels of Jean Améry and Primo Levi, and the Israel of Begin and Netanyahu and the movement they represent. https://prospect.org/world/2024-02-21-neglected-history-state-of-israel/
