Imagine a group of people who work to destroy Italy because‚ they claim‚ Italy’s origins are illegitimate. Imagine further that these people maintain that of all the countries in the world‚ only Italy doesn’t deserve to exist. Then imagine that these people vigorously deny that they are anti-Italian. Would you believe them? Now substitute “Israel” for “Italy‚” and you’ll understand the dishonesty and absurdity of the argument that one can be anti-Zionist—that is‚ against the existence of a Jewish state—but not be anti-Jew. Yet‚ that is precisely what anti-Zionists say. They say that Israel’s existence is illegitimate. They don’t say this about any other country in the world‚ no matter how bloody its origins. And then they get offended when they’re accused of being anti-Jew. How can they make this argument? First‚ they change the topic. They say it’s unfair to charge those who merely “criticize” Israel with being antisemitic. No one says criticism of Israel is antisemitic. But anti-Zionism isn’t criticism of Israel. Anti-Zionism is opposition to Israel’s existence. Zionism is the name of the movement for the return of the Jews to their historic homeland. Over the past 3‚000 years‚ there were only two independent states located in what is called Israel. Both were Jewish states‚ and invaders destroyed both. No Arab or Muslim or any other sovereign country ever existed in that land‚ which was given the name “Palestine” by the Romans so as to remove all memory of the Jewish state they destroyed in the year 70. Second‚ anti-Zionists claim they can’t be anti-Jew because Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. That is the same as saying Italy has nothing to do with being Italian. Judaism has always consisted of three components: God‚ Torah‚ and Israel (the people Israel and the Land of Israel). Israel is as much a part of Judaism as are God and the Bible. Moreover‚ the most pro-Israel‚ i.e. the most Zionist‚ Jews are the Orthodox‚ the most religious Jews. That there exists one tiny group of ultra-Orthodox Jews (Neturei Karta) that is anti-Zionist means nothing. They are as representative of Judaism as the Ku Klux Klan is of Christianity. Third‚ anti-Zionists claim that Judaism is only a religion; therefore‚ Jews are only members of a religion‚ not a nation. But the Jews are called a “nation” more than one hundred times in the Bible. That is why there can be irreligious‚ secular‚ and even atheist Jews—because Jews are not only a religion‚ but a people—a nation. No one thinks nonreligious Jews are not Jews. There can be no atheist Christians because Christianity is a religion‚ not a nation. Fourth‚ people point to anti-Zionist Jews to prove that anti-Zionism isn’t anti-Jewish. That would be like pointing to Americans who gave Stalin the secrets to the atom bomb to argue that siding with the Soviet Union in the Cold War was not anti-American. Or‚ to provide another Jewish example‚ it would be like pointing Jews who eat pork in Yom Kippur to argue that eating pork on Yom Kippur is Jewish. What Jews do or believe is not always the same as Judaism. Fifth‚ anti-Zionists claim that Israel is illegitimate because Zionism—and therefore‚ Israel—is “racist.” This is a libel. Half of Israel’s Jews are not even white‚ and anyone‚ of any race or ethnicity‚ can become a Jew. Furthermore‚ 1 in 5 Israelis isn’t a Jew. And these Israeli non-Jews‚ mostly Arab Muslims‚ have the same rights as Jewish Israelis. As for Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza (Israel completely abandoned Gaza in 2005)‚ that has nothing to do with race and everything to do with security. It is because the Palestinians and other Arabs tried to destroy Israel in 1967 and lost the war. If the Palestinians would stop killing Israelis‚ Israel would have no problem with a “two-state solution.” But Palestinians have rejected offers to have their own state on four separate occasions since 1947. That is the only reason they don’t have their own state. And why have they always rejected having a Palestinian state? Because the only state they would accept is one that eradicates Israel. They have therefore been solely dedicated to destroying the Jewish state‚ not in having their own state alongside Israel. Sixth‚ and finally‚ anti-Zionists claim that Israel’s origins are illegitimate. Of all the world’s 200-plus countries‚ the only country anti-Zionists declare illegitimate is also the only Jewish one. That’s pretty much all you need to know about their motives. Why don’t they make this claim about Pakistan? In 1947‚ nine months before the establishment of Israel‚ India was partitioned into a Muslim state (Pakistan) and a Hindu state (India)‚ just as Palestine was partitioned into a Jewish state (Israel) and an Arab one (Palestine). But‚ unlike Israel‚ no Pakistan had ever existed. And unlike Israel’s founding‚ which created about 700‚000 Jewish refugees from Arab lands and about 700‚000 Arab refugees from what became Israel‚ the founding of Pakistan created about 7 million Muslim refugees from India and about 7 million Hindu refugees from Pakistan. And while the highest estimate of Arab deaths in the fighting that took place when Israel was established is 10‚000‚ the number of deaths as a result of Pakistan’s creation is around 1 million. So why is Israel’s legitimacy challenged while Pakistan’s isn’t? The only possible answer is because Israel is Jewish. Of course‚ not all anti-Zionists hate all Jews. But if you seek to destroy Italy‚ you don’t have to hate every Italian to be anti-Italian. Not every anti-American hates all Americans‚ but they are still called anti-American. If you seek to destroy the one Jewish state‚ you don’t have to hate every Jew to be called anti-Jew. And the name for that is antisemite.

The author with his 2004 BMW R 1150 RT in Yellowstone National Park during his first cross-country trip in 2007. As a young motorcyclist‚ I discovered BMW by accident. In the summer of 2003‚ I was cruising along the Blue Ridge Parkway on my 1998 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom‚ a violent jackhammer of a bike that was crude‚ loud‚ and spectacularly uncomfortable. The sun was about to set as I pulled into a motorcycle-friendly campground. After parking my bike‚ I saw a large crowd gathered around a blazing fire‚ listening intently to a presentation. I approached curiously and was soon in rapt attention myself. The speakers were Chris and Erin Ratay‚ who were wrapping up a four-year‚ 101‚322-mile circumnavigation of the planet aboard a pair of BMW F 650s‚ a trip that earned a Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled by a couple on two motorcycles. I had stumbled upon the last stop on the Ratays’ “ultimate journey” before they returned home to New York. Of course‚ the globetrotting couple shared interesting tales of adventure travel‚ but the theme they kept coming back to was the indestructability of their BMWs. Their bikes were on display‚ and everyone at camp scrutinized them carefully. After four years traversing 50 countries on six continents‚ both F 650s looked as though they had been dropped from an aircraft at 30‚000 feet‚ crash-landed on jagged rockface‚ set on fire with napalm‚ and then run over by a battalion of Abrams tanks. Yet both started instantly and ran with the precision of a fine Swiss watch. Juxtaposed against my primitive Sportster‚ the contrast in terms of modern engineering and stout reliability couldn’t be clearer. I began studying BMWs and fell in love with the R 75/5 that Clement Salvadori wrote about in the pages of Rider (Retrospective‚ April 1991; I also recently wrote my own Retrospective: BMW /5 Series – 1970-1973). I soon had a 1973 long-wheelbase Monza Blue R 75/5 Toaster in my garage‚ and it was a revelation. Despite its age‚ it was so quiet‚ so smooth‚ and so stable at speed. That motorcycle‚ with its quirky air-cooled flat-Twin “boxer” motor and bizarre but practical styling‚ was my gateway drug into the wonderful world of BMW motorcycles. And what a journey it’s been! Over the past 20 years‚ I’ve owned or co-owned 11 BMWs ranging in age from a 1971 R 60/5 to a 2020 R 1250 GS. I’ve put well over 200‚000 combined miles on them‚ traveling all over the U.S. and Canada. All of them have been supremely functional‚ which isn’t surprising given the company’s storied history of engineering innovations. BMW has given us hydraulically damped forks as well as the first production versions of a nose fairing‚ a full fairing‚ a single-sided swingarm‚ anti-lock brakes‚ and of course‚ BMW’s proprietary Paralever and Telelever suspension systems‚ among many other innovations. The author’s wife on her first bike‚ a 1971 R 60/5 with standard 6.3-gal. tank. Now with almost 100‚000 miles‚ it’s still going strong. BMWs are generally overengineered‚ sometimes to a fault‚ but the company’s rabid fan base of high-mileage riders has come to respect the brand as representative of some of the finest motorcycles available at any price. However‚ what I appreciate more than the motorcycles themselves is the BMW community of riders. They’re a wildly diverse group of mostly professionals‚ skewing heavily toward the intellectual and analytical gearheads that I feel most at home with. Every BMW group I’ve spent time with emphasizes riding competence and safety. BMW is a marque that appeals to serious riders‚ as reflected by the odometers one sees at any of the brand’s big rallies: 100‚000-plus miles on bikes that are only a few years old is a common sight. One hundred years of continuous production is a stellar accomplishment for any company‚ especially for a brand that has been considered a niche manufacturer for much of its history. But in recent years‚ BMW Motorrad has branched out beyond its traditional touring and adventure bikes to produce models such as high-performance sportbikes and electric scooters‚ which would have been unthinkable when I started riding BMWs 20 years ago. It’s going to be fascinating to see where the next 100 years take us! See all of Rider‘s BMW coverage here. The post Confessions of a BMW Addict appeared first on Rider Magazine.
