i WISH more ppl could make this extremely important distinction. as an anti-zionist jewish person, it’s so frustrating how zionism is conflated with my culture and faith (which is antisemitism btw). zionism has been inserted into our communities in such a way that i have had to reckon with how much propaganda i was fed growing up over the last few years, and i still am working on chipping away at it with my mom
As an antizionist Jew, you’re reinforcing this shit. You think they give a fuck who claims to be Zionist and who claims to not be? “Antizionism” is just a clean excuse to spew the same vile shit that has existed since medieval times. You can and should criticize Israel and its actions. But being “antizionist” is doing exactly what these antisemitic assholes want.
my anti zionism is about being against the long history of settlement on the lands and displacement of Palestinian ppl, and everything that has resulted from that. the ORIGINAL concept of israel isn’t one i take issue with, but that ideal is long gone. i truly think there’s huge cognitive dissonance. think of purim, of passover, all of our holy days that are centered around stories of us being othered and forced out. that’s what israel is doing to palestinians.
The Jews harbor hatred against you tho. Read the Talmud and you see what they think about us lol. Funny thing is recently we’ve taken the power of the term “Goy/Goyim” back and then the ADL says it’s antisemitism for US to use that term 😂. It’s like, no, it’s loxist for them to use that word. It’s OUR word.
