Doesn't the blogger just want a euphemism? Can gentiles be “post-zionists” if their ideological background or their families’ wasn’t ever zionist?

Just goes to show again that the Jewish state is a beacon in the Middle East. I do love how vigorous Israelis criticisms of their government is, as shown by the comments on the post you linked to.

And remains silent about the second part: "The state maintained: "The organization's activists are involved in activities against the security forces in areas of friction in Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem." It is a sort of subterfuge. It is not even "out of context". It is simply not telling the whole truth which in legal context would be considered perjury. I know that readers rarely bother to read linked sources when a quote is provided. I wish that those engaged in any sort of public writing felt bound by a code of ethics perhaps not as strident as in legal cases but at least observing of basic human decency and the concept of fair play.
