I wrote that if "no American Jew can conceive of a situation in which they would walk away from Israel, then there is no leverage at all to persuade Israel to act responsibly to save Zionism’s soul, or to behave as a constructive ally of the United States." J.L. Wall, for one, refuses to walk away:
Israel is both a nation-state and a segment of the Jewish people. I can conceive of many situations in which I could and would cease to support the policies of Israel’s government (there are already those which I do); I can conceive of situations in which I would feel I had no choice but to actively oppose the actions or policies of Israel’s government; I can even conceive of situations in which I would feel that Israel’s government had lost its legitimacy. But I can no more conceive of walking away from Israel itself—all of it, its people included—than I can conceive of walking away from my own family.
