James Rosen-Birch ⚖️🕊️ on X: "Great discussion. A few thoughts: - the author dances around explicitly stating or confronting the underlying question of whether a cohesive Jewish identity (or “imagined community” à la Anderson) exists without religion or the state of Israel, despite a clear belief it does not" / X
Argues that Israel is actively distancing itself from Diaspora Jews, forcing the emergence of a non-Zionist Jewish identity, as the Israeli state abandons its self-proclaimed role as the center of Jewish identity while many Diaspora Jews haven't yet recognized this fundamental shift.
