Einstein may have supported Labor Zionism, until it betrayed its purported socialist principles.
Labor Zionists played a leading role in the 1947–1949 Palestine War, and had a dominant presence among the leadership of the Israel Defense Forces for decades after the independence of the State of Israel during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

I’m not making shit up, as the letter that OP posted plainly shows. I made no claim that he stopped believing in Zionism as a concept, only that he stopped supporting the actual Zionists in Israel who were ethnically cleansing Palestine in 1948. And if he’d actually actually drafted that supposed 1955 speech as Israel claims, then I’d say that he was no Einstein. That sounds like some hasbara to me.

You’re claiming that draft, that I had to tell you about, which was written 7 years after the establishment of the state of Israel (when it was barely a functioning state) is Hasbara?
I’m not claiming that the draft speech and its contents are hasbara, only that I suspect they might be, and that if they aren’t, then I think less of Einstein if he wrote that, “the Arab hostility […] is the root cause of the tension,” because I think the root cause is Western settler-colonialism.

The Haganah could disavow the Irgun (and the Stern Gang) with the same credibility that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp could disavow Hezbollah.
Menachem Begin, who led Irgun also founded Likud and as the sixth Prime Minister of Israel was in command of the IDF . So yes, many people (including the US) considered Irgun a terrorist organization, that didn’t put it and it’s leaders outside the mainstream of Israeli military, politics, or government. Besides, it’s crimes during the Mandate and Nakba always served the Zionist cause, and even if the Haganah or “Consultancy” didn’t approve or order their actions, they were happy to take the benefit, and occasionally the credit.

What makes you think there aren’t modern physicists who are also philosophical?
As someone with a physics degree, I can say that there physicists have, do, and always will include people who focus only on the math and science and others who incorporate philosophy into their values and world view.
Yeah, people from all walks of life live with the burden of unfettered curiosity. Such people are typically drawn to fields like physics but many will also find interest in philosophy and humanities and everything really. There’s just so much to know about so many things
I dont follow the world of physics but im interested in following some physicists could you recommend some? The only current one I follow is Michio Kaku
Celeb physicists maybe? Like pop culture famous. Frankly though um if you’re anyone else have any articles or something as an example to support your point or fit that theme/vibe, I’d actually just be really interested in reading something from that point of view! To be very clear, I have no horses in this race I’m not challenging you.
