Why was the political philosopher Hannah Arendt so critical of mainstream Zionism? What did her criticisms have to do with how she understood nationalism and historical antisemitism? According to Jonathan Graubart, Arendt sought to delink Jewish nationalism from Israel\u2019s state project; she also condemned Herzlian Zionism for subscribing to a view of eternal antisemitism.\nJonathan Graubart, Jewish Self-Determination beyond Zionism: Lessons from Hannah Arendt and Other Pariahs Temple University Press, 2023\nThe post Arendt on Zionism appeared first on KPFA.
