The Zionist Five

Along with Kaufman, four Jewish authors and journalists, dubbing themselves the "Zionist Five," have issued a statement: "We, the undersigned, affirm our right –moral, spiritual, cultural and political — to proclaim our Zionism in any manner that we choose, without hinderence or proscription, and further, we condemn, forcefully and completely the stance of anti-Zionism for what so blatently it is: a human rights violation and euphemistic mask behind which lurks the age-old nightmare of anti-Semitism." Go here for the full statement (on OyBay). Kol hakavod (way to go!) to these Zionists!
