Agreed. There was historically left-ish Zionism - Labour Zionism, which was less racist, militarist, or expansionist. But that ship has sailed. It's like Big Foot - sighted once in the 1950s by a drunk farmer, never seen again since.

An Israel can still exist and be compatible with leftism - but not the Jewish state with racial Apartheid, not a state that occupies land or denies the right of return to Palestinians. Or threatens all its neighbors with illegal military intervention.
