"Israel defines itself as a Jewish state, it is involved with daily crimes against humanity, abuse of human rights. It is supported institutionally by pretty much every Jewish organisation around the world, it is supported by a massive Jewish lobby around the world. This lobby dominates American foreign policy, in Britain we have the same situation and yet there is one thing that we fail to ask, who are the Jews, what is Judaism, what is Jewishness and how are all these terms related to each other, how do they relate to a notion of Jewish power, how they relate to Zionism, to American policy, What is it about the 'J' word, Jews, Judaism, Jewishness, J Power and so on? I decided that wont move forward unless we attempt to grasp this notion."
