Rich Siegel was raised in a Zionist family in the U.S. He writes: My familys involvement with Zionism goes back to its beginnings....I made the decision to stop calling myself a Jew, to simply leave the cult. I respect the Jewish activists who speak about the crimes of Zionism as antithetical to Jewish values, but Ive had quite enough of Jewish values, and embrace only universal values. Judaism, like all ancient religions, is a mixed bag. You have to take what you like and leave the rest, or else be subject to its contradictions. Orthodox Zionists, who would be aghast at this notion, are the foremost practitioners of this, rejecting the golden rule found in Leviticus in favour of the tribalism and nationalism also found in various other writings. Please watch his video below. After his song (ends at 6:00), he speaks about what brought him to his position on Zionism and Palestine.
