Tony Greenstein

Tony Greenstein is a British Jew who is putatively anti-zionist. He was among those who signed the "The RETURN Statement Against the Israeli Law of Return – For the Palestinian Right to Return" which declares that

We, entitled to the privileges accorded under the Israeli Law of Return to Jews and their close relatives, declare our opposition to the state of Israel as a Jewish state and to the Zionist movement. We call on our fellow Jews and their close relatives to join us in making the following statement:

• the Palestinian people, at whose expense the state of Israel was established and continues to exist, have the right to return, to self-determination and to their independent state on Palestinian soil;
• the Palestine Liberation Organisation is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people;
• the state of Israel does not represent all Jewish people, neither legally, morally nor in any other way;
• the Zionist structure of the state of Israel is at the heart of the racism and oppression against the Palestinian people, and should be dismantled.
