Corb Blimey!
The bit about Marx in the NS article did make me tut, to be honest. And re. Israel, I think the point was that states created as a refuge from genocidal persecution are not the same as states created as outposts for a major power.
As I see it, the NS piece leaves out a few important considerations, while that other article fills them in but adds some highly questionable assertions. Mind you, if you were to replace that increasingly loosely-defined term Zionism with something like "bad shit that Israel does", I'd certainly agree with that final sentence, which maybe the authors of the Staggers piece wouldn't.
