COLUMN LEFT: Albert Einstein's Zionism

By Ralph Seliger

[Author Fred] Jerome ... places [Einstein] (correctly) with other left and liberal Zionists who advocated a binational state in Palestine before the violent Arab onslaughts in late 1947 and the first half of '48. ...

Einstein called the conflict ‘a struggle between two rights: the right of Jews to a homeland and the right of Arabs to their land. ...’

Far from proving that Einstein was not a Zionist, Jerome reveals the depth of the scientist’s approximately 35-year commitment to Zionism, beginning in 1919.
