What's the veracity of the source? Who is laying claim to this posthumous publication of a speech that contradicts Einstein's *previous anti-zionism? Wouldn't Israel benefit from their "legacy" including the support of respected socialist and scientist like Einstein?
Would love some sources and where it came from to be included than just these screenshot.
Edit: a few no name zionist publications with a broken link to Israeli state archives. Reeks of hasbara, do a little more due diligence OP and stop falling for the bait that zionists are putting out for you.
*correction from precious to previous
Thanks for the heads up I'll check out the source
Edit: Einstein met with the Israeli consulate and his speech was planned on Nakba day. Einstein was way more of a Zionist than I thought.
Think about it for two seconds. Einstein got offered presidency of Israel. Do you think that would ever be offered to a non-Zionist?
Also he was fundraising with the World Zionist Congress president for colonist education of Jews in Israel. Einstein was a sneaky Liberal Zionist fox.
The claim was verified again as a posthumous speech published by an American zionist paper in 1955. I'm still not convinced 100% of its veracity tbh.
Einstein's 'left-wing' zionism post-formation of Israel as a state is a little more concrete, as is his historic disparagement of herzlian zionists. A regrettable turn that was also carried out by a number of socialist and communist Jews, as well as the initial position of the USSR.
