    Polanski has said that “the version of Zionism that Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government put forward” is racist because “it clearly involves the extermination of the Palestinian people”. What he’s refused to condemn is Zionism itself – the settler colonial project that begun under British sponsorship and continues to this day. This is what we would call a liberal Zionist position: a blindness to how Jewish supremacy has defined the Israeli state since its inception.

    Zionism is terrible, it’s not just Netanyahu.
