Example Sentences
- "Diasporism's limitations emerge starkly when one applies the concept to another people: the Palestinians. The statelessness of the Jewish past, after all, still describes the Palestinian present. The notion that Palestinians ought to accept their lot in the name of a high-minded ideology would strike Jewish diasporists, who tend to favor Palestinian self-determination, as noxious."
- "Unlike [Dory] Manor and other prominent figures among the "diasporists," there are also many opponents of the phenomenon and its significance, which the writers quoted in this story attribute to it."
- "The sovereign state of Israel is a 76-year-old material reality — one that is home to over seven-million Jews. So, for diasporist Jews to speak as though the legitimacy of Israel — and Israel alone amongst the nations — is up for debate, is rather like arguing for infanticide as nothing more than a continuation of the 20th-century debate around legal abortion."
