More on that debate

Here's a letter to the Jewish Chronicle. from a chap who can't understand Melanie Phillips's intolerance towards counter-argument:

I cannot understand why any person familiar with Jewish history should take offence at the motion "Zionism today is the real enemy of the Jews." Exactly the same motion could have been debated a century ago, with Jews on opposing sides. Instead of focusing on the behaviour of the state of Israel (which did not yet exist) it would have matched Zionists against assimilationists.

The founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, wrote "I have found a solution to the Jewish question." Had he, or was it just another complication?
