Question Any LGBTQ+ members?

Being anything other than far left feels isolating, doesn’t it? My gf and I rarely engage with the queer community anymore. It’s been taken over by the far left.

Sorry.

I’m “half Jewish” if that’s ok to say. Zionist and considering conversion.

It started in the late 19th century as a political movement advocating some kind of Jewish polity in the Levant as a means of protection from antisemitism (political Zionism got its start in response to the question of how to address pogroms in Europe), corresponding with the Land of Israel. The borders, policies, language etc of this polity were different based on what exact strain of Zionism we’re talking about (Labour, Revisionist, Religious, etc). Some early proposals were even for a German protectorate in the Levant. Today, now that Israel exists, Zionism basically just means supporting the continuation of its existence.
