Thank you for this captivating essay. Edward Said' s classic "Zionism from the Standpoint of its Victims" is a foundational text for me, and with your essay we have "Zionism from the Standpoint of a Child," which I think is a brilliant approach to the topic. It helps to show how many ideas that we take for granted as normal are in actuality far-fetched and ludicrous. I hope you expand on this. It's on a rather different topic but while reading this essay I was thinking about this book by Masha Gessen, which examines alternatives to the Zionist project https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28109862-where-the-jews-aren-t.
