I respect all non violent forms of protest and civil disobedience that have 
to do with issues regarding human rights. 

There's stuff in there that I find insulting and frightening. Some of it is 
very threatening. I'm fighting my own demons. I've lived through a couple 
wars here. I've lost good friends to death and politics. I know what I'm 
doing. 
I act and vote democratically but in my heart I will always be a Zionist. 
There I said it. It's like saying Oh please let me be a teensy weensy bit 
racist... 
In my heart I also commit adultery and shoot people. This the nature of 
my heart. I hate activists but it's the right thing to be right now. So I 
suffer them I suffer myself walking down the street with posters and 
shouting slogans like an idiot. It's got to be done. If I don't do it 300 
other people won't either. (Being hip comes with social responsibilities) 
Uri Avnery is still a Zionist. I'm not. I feel my Zionism like an amputee 
feels his phantom limb. It itches all the time - especially when people are throwing missiles at me or being "Energized"

Dan, you sound so messy and wrecked I tell you!
Relax man, you are doing the right, even greater than a guy like me because your ideological upbringing. Zionist organization is sort of giving an ID or sort of the feel of belonging to the lost. It used and worked in the past when Judaism failed to do the job.
My advise to you is, if that is you think it is right though - is to ditch your "I" and place yourself among the "WE". The "I" will always take side in the two opposing sides while the "WE" position does not. The "I" only work for present time while "WE"'s work is timeless. And naturally the "WE" position is working at universal level.
But as humans you and I always feel as belong to a place, or forced to do so by the surrounding that are forcing us to retain our "I". 
See the truth as the truth even if it is against you, your life your family your friends your country or whatever is yours. And naturally see the false as false.
I hope this will de angrify you and act as source of energy that will vroom you to perform the mission impossible.
