Tony Judt was English,  born a Jew, and was an early Zionist—even working for the IDF while in Israel.  He was a preeminent historian, and a legendary public intellectual during the years he taught at NYU, publishing frequently in the NYRB.  This piece is from 2006, but has only grown in pertinence since then.
Judt’s bio is here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Judt
