@Bowfinger hmm I'm just not sure about this article.

Einstein was actually a supporter of the Zionist cause for most of his life and wanted Jews to get back their home land.

It is sure likely that he opposed the creation of Israel if that meant creating a theocratic State that was in a state of permanent war with its displaced Arab neighbours. But it's very unlikely that he ever said words like "the existence of a Jew State with its own borders and army sits at odds with the essence of Judaism", because for most of his life he actually supported that idea. 

 Hi @Fabio Manganiello
 Thanks for your check..I wanted to check the original source and was motivated by you. Here is the original New York times article in which Einstein goes against the #fascim element. He says they #jews were beating other Jews not supportive of their nationalism
