The letter seems to be fitting into a pattern of pro-Israel organizations, such as Canary Mission and Betar, targeting critics of Israel’s military actions, as well as supporters of Palestinian self-determination. Betar says it has provided lists of noncitizen protesters to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security, and other government agencies, recommending deportation.

      Well, for the sake of argument I consider myself anti-Israel Zionist in the sense that I oppose the current state of Israel and it’s right-wing government, but I support the general idea of a Jewish state. Does that make sense?

        In a pre-1947 world, would you support the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine? Knowing, of course, that there’s no way of drawing the lines of such a state without including a significant number of Arabs that precludes a state that’s both Jewish and Democratic without ethnic cleansing. The way real-life Israel “solved” this problem was by committing ethnic cleansing, AKA the Nakba.
