"Long cast as the scapegoat for Europe’s problems, European Jewish communities, who were as European as any other European, became racialized as an “inferior race of Semites” that is “diluting the purity of the superior Arian white race.” This form of racialization would culminate in Nazi Germany when they carried out their unforgivable “Final Solution.”
"The problem with the answer of Zionism, however, is that instead of challenging the spurious and violent racialization of Europeans into “Semites” and “Aryans,” instead of standing up to the European colonial project and joining together with colonized and racialized communities across the world to dismantle colonial modernity and the Euro-American colonial project, Zionism proposed an answer whereby they would join the project of colonial modernity. They proposed that European Jews should leave Europe and establish a European-style state in the lands of the “Orient.”
