Naomi Klein denounces “false idol” of Zionism at New York demonstration 

Author and journalist Naomi Klein criticised Israel’s war on Palestine and said Zionism is “a false idol that has betrayed every Jewish value” in a speech at a New York demonstration on Tuesday.
Speaking at the demonstration in Brooklyn, where hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers and allies gathered for what they called a "Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel" on the second night of Passover, she called for an “exodus” from Zionism.
“We don’t need or want the false idol of Zionism. We want freedom from the project that commits genocide in our name,” she said.
Hundreds of protesters were arrested at the demonstration, which was held one block away from the home of US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The demonstration came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved a $95bn foreign aid package that includes about $17bn in arms and security funding to Israel.
