What happened
Benjamin Moser's work on anti-Zionism, intended to sever the Jewish connection to Israel, ultimately affirms it, according to Seth Mandel's article 'Anti-Zionism: An Anti-Jewish History'.
Seth Mandel, a senior editor at Commentary Magazine, wrote about Moser's work and how it ended up affirming the Jewish connection to Israel, despite its initial intention to do the opposite.
Mandel's article highlights the story of Jewish immigrants arriving in Haifa aboard the RMS Franconia on March 26, 1945, waving what would become the Israeli flag, as a symbol of the Jewish connection to Israel.
The article suggests that attempts to sever the Jewish connection to Israel, like Moser's work, may ultimately end up affirming it, much like the absurd story of a town trying to trim the Torah to fit a too-short cover.
