The Zionist claim has always been that Zionists speak for Jews all over the world and represent their collective interests (they made this claim even at the dawn of Zionism when Zionists were a tiny minority among Jews). The very reactionary among Zionists know how to make the lives of Jewish critics of Israel difficult (e.g., remember what happened to Adam Shapiro's parents), with a view to keeping dissenting Jews quiet about their critical opinions about Israel. The Jewish identity of Jewish critics of Israel is often called into question by right-wing Zionists (e.g., "self-hating Jews," "traitors," etc.). Our strategy should, therefore, include an effort to break the facade of Jewish unity for Israel created by Zionists. -- Yoshie
