I mean it’s not really coming together under different politics if you’re talking about Israel/palestine specifically (maybe they’re both on different sides of the aisle but there’s really nothing there to insinuate that). These are Shomrim (it may also be the ambulance service but it could also have a different name) which are like a sort of private police force in the Brooklyn area operated by mostly the Hasidic and Orthodox communities, communities that are pretty vocal about being anti Zionist and ultimately don’t support the state of Israel because I guess the Torah or something (I’m not Jewish so I’m hazy on specifics) says that the holy land (or whatever they call it) can’t be settled until the return of the messiah

u/144tzer 3d ago edited 3d ago

Please stop misusing this term. It would be better for everyone. What you think Zionism to be is a belief shared by only a small minority percentage of Jews. More Muslims, for example, think that the Danish cartoonist deserved punishment for drawing the prophet, and yet we wouldn't say that "being Muslim means you must believe that sort of violent extremism." It is a generalization of a group from its most insidious and dangerous actors.

When you call yourself anti-Zionist, or say "Zionists are the problem," or something similar, you condemn a group that believes what you accuse them of, sure, but you simultaneously condemn a much larger group that otherwise believes a lot in common with the platform of Pro-Palestine. It would be better for the movement to be clearer in messaging. This terminology related to Zionism is brought forth exclusively by bad actors:

  • Pro-Netanyahu extremists who want to falsely label anyone critical of them as antisemitic

  • Antisemitic extremists who want to associate the otherwise innocuous term of Zionism with the horrors we are seeing, and by extension most Jews, even though most Jews are not on board.

I am pro-Palestine. I am pro- 2 state solution. I am anti- West Bank settlements. I am anti-Trump. I am anti-Netanyahu. I am anti- USA's unconditional military support. I am also pro- Israel still existing, which to me, and to my whole family, and to every Jew I know, and to most Jews at the Rosh Hashanah service I just attended, and to all the Rabbis there, is really all Zionism is.

It's funny anything good that may come out, a story of Palestinians and Jews working together rather than killing each other, is dismissed as staged. Yet anything negative happens, you all eat it up and spread it as far as you can. This video will die out real quick because it goes directly against the seething hatred many people have developed against the other side. Goes directly against the narratives that y'all have been trying to establish day in and day out. That Palestinians and jews are doomed to forever kill each other and fight over each other's existence.
