Oh please, grow up. This play is not antisemitic in any way shape or form. For one, it’s short sighted to equate Judaism and Zionism. Two, it’s not even anti-Israel. They discuss the pros and cons of Israel’s controversial formation. Three, I think Judaism as a culture encourages these kinds of open discussions and arguments. Know what you’re talking about before you start spouting nonsense.
I struggled a bit with the “flashbacks” in this one but overall I really liked it. Probably more than Leopoldstadt."
I doubt most people here would know it, but there is a meme that often gets circulated on Twitter that says something like "Twitter is the only place where someone can say 'I like waffles' and someone else will say 'so that means you hate pancakes' when those are two totally separate things." I think we've found a second place that the meme applies to.
I thoroughly disagree with Pashcar's assessment. But nothing you said in your comment had anything to do with anything they said. Nobody said the play was Antisemitic and nobody mentioned Israel or Zionism (although I'm confused by your implication that you could see this play and not understand Harmon's perspective on them). That was all you.
I would agree with you that I thought this was better than Leopoldstadt. Similar themes, but felt more applicable.
