An excellent point by , especially in light of the despicable attacks on synagogues:
"The problem that we have in fighting against people who conflate Israel & Jews & therefore take out there anger against Israel on Jews... is that we are asking them to make a distinction b/w Israel as a state & Jews as a people... but the organized American Jewish community is not making that distinction ourselves ... instead they are saying, 'being a Zionist is inherent in being Jewish' ...
...and so when the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom said a few years ago, 'Zionism leaps from every day of the Siddur,' the Jewish prayer book, again, very strange statement given that we've had prayer books since long before Herzl & Pinsker came around in the late 19th century, then why shouldn't someone write 'Free Palestine' on a Jewish prayer book? ... since you've just said the prayer book is a political pamphlet for the State of Israel."
