This appears to be an attempt at a non-Zionist, Jewish nationalist movement. This Joseph Hefter lists himself as the national leader in the pamphlet, so despite the reference to “the explosive abnormality of the nameless, homeless, roaming Jewish nation” that “will aggrevate theNew Peace even more than it aggrevated the outbreak of the present catastrophic war” I have to assume that Hefter himself was Jewish. Unsurprisingly, the nationalist is the “self-hating” Jew, and not, despite frequent accusations, the leftist, diasporic Jew, such as myself.
Here’s a pamphlet on the subject:

Interesting history, nonetheless.
It’s a fringe group. The author is also American and not a persecuted European Jew.
