Feuer's pathology, which is certainly not limited to Jews, is both highly distasteful, as in disgusting, and pathetic. It amounts to an attempt to purchase approval and preferential standing by betraying one's self and one's people. It never truly works, since those whose approval is sought can see through the ploy well enough and are bound to find it contemptible, even if they play along in order to use and take advantage of people like Feuer. We're talking about a delusion that amounts to negation.
There are Jews who think, in a principled fashion, that Judaism should characterize itself as a diasporic religion and not make a claim to a territory. There is also a handful of chasids who think that the establishment of Israel must not predate the arrival of the messiah. Feuer is certainly not of the latter type and probably not of the former. I suspect he's more like the Jews who became enamored of Bolshevism, which was a disastrous attachment.

Yes, Bolshevism was another golden calf, which wasn't even golden but far more perverse.
