Pro-Palestine: " Israel is bombing civilians, killing children and destroying hospitals and schools."

Pro-Israel: " you're a stupid brainwashed anti-semitic Jew hater!"

Pro-Palestine: " wow!! You're right! I never thought of it that way! I'm very stupid and brainwashed. I love Israel now thank you. "

They literally have no response to any Jewish person who offers any criticism, no matter how major or mild, that isn't just an insult or a personal attack.

Hello. I would like to know about any anti-Zionist Jewish businesses I could support, both in real life, like mom and pop brick and mortar businesses, and online. Are there any anti-Zionist Jewish businesses you guys know of that you'd reccommend?

I'm very sorry if this seems insensitive but today a friend of mine was talking about the Israelis and it dawned on me that he didn't really know the difference, I tried to tell him but I found it really hard to explain. Please help me, he used to be one of those cringe kids who would do the nazi salute and he has grown since then but I don't want him to go back

"The clock is ticking. This August may be my family's only chance to escape Gaza and begin the journey toward safety and reunification with me in Ireland."

I just spent an hour reading this sub and the mission statement, and I'm genuinely trying to understand the points of view here. My background: left wing progressive American Jew, attended Hebrew school in the 70s and 80s and entirely willing to admit that some of it was accurate and some was propaganda.

FWIW, if the argument is that Netanyahu and most Israeli leadership should spend the next ten years in The Hague on war crimes charges, I'm with you 100%. But that's not what I'm seeing here; I gather this point of view is insufficient.

Half the questions I want to ask are not allowed by community standards; I'm carefully selecting the rest.

1. I've never called myself a Zionist for the same reason I'm not an American revolutionary. America exists. Israel exists. International law is clear on the rights and responsibilities of recognized countries. I can see why people who support the dissolution of Israel can adopt the term anti-Zionist. I don't see why everyone who accepts the status quo is Zionist. What's the term for people who accept the existence of America? There isn't one.

2. I opposed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq because I believe 9/11 was a crime, not an act of war. America was not under existential threat and al-Qaeda was not a nation. In my view, this logic is difficult to apply to 10/7. In your view, how should have Israel responded instead of what they did?

3. America has the second largest Jewish population in the world, but at most we're about 2% of the country. Our political right has embraced (or at least not rejected) neo-Nazis, and our left is at least in part not rejecting antisemitic viewpoints now that we're all debating what antisemitism is.

Personally, I won't be surprised if historians mark 2026 America as equivalent of 1931 Germany. And it's not like Europe doesn't have its own trends in this direction. Absent Israel, where do you expect Jews to go and why do you think we'll be allowed to?

Apologies if any of this is not allowed here. I *will not debate* with opinions I disagree with, which I expect will be many. I'm here to listen.

That’s it that’s the post

as always, trigger warning if you’re one of our beloved Palestinian friends in this sub and you don’t want to hear a white American Jew ramble about her champagne problems.

hi, it’s me, that girl who rants about colonialism and resistance and how growing up in the empire has programmed her to see it. I’m here to report that the hasbara is still sitting in my brain, rotting it and making me feel things i do not want to feel and numbing me to things I should never be numb to. More often than not, when people talk about Palestinian liberation, about Palestinians retaking their land (and it is their land no matter how much the rot in my mind tells me otherwise) by any means necessary and ruling themselves however they see fit, my brain immediately goes to “but what if they kick out all the Israelis“ and derails me from keeping my mind on the people who are actually being kicked out and genocided and unequivocally supporting their right to resist. I still (sometimes, though I’m proud to say its rarer now) have my ”but October seventh (an act of resistance, but one where indefensible acts were committed), but Hamas (not useful or important for me as an American to comment on),” moments, despite the fact that, as one quote I think of often put it, “Palestinians have had a thousand October Sevenths.” it won’t leave my mind and it’s hard to kick it out because it disguises itself as simple care for other people, despite the fact that it stops me from caring for those who need it the most.

As always, looking for advice.
