Mary Doria Russell Quote
For Russian Jews, Zionism was an immediate solution to age-old problems.Anywhere is better than Russia, Karl agreed, but for Western Jews, Zionism is a trap, I think. Once Jews are permitted a territorial center, it will be too easy to drive the rest of us from every other nation on Earth. ‘Go back where you belong!’ he cried dismissively, jerking his thumb toward Palestine. ‘Oh, by the way, leave all your possessions behind.’ ... But I have no need of some artificial homeland invented by the British. I am not a German Jew, Agnes, but a Jewish German.
