Israel is making Jewish people everywhere less safe by committing genocide and conflating being Jewish with being a Zionist.
Remember, folks, many Jews are anti-genocide and anti-Zionist and many non-Jews are pro-genocide and Zionist.
Conflating being Jewish with being a Zionist is antisemitic.

Absolutely. Being Jewish does not mean being Zionist, and criticizing the actions of the Israeli government is not the same as attacking Jewish people. Jewish voices opposing genocide and Zionism deserve to be heard, just as people of any background can support or oppose these ideologies. Conflating Judaism with Zionism only fuels antisemitism and makes Jewish people less safe.
@aral antizionism means antifascism.

Hello brother Aral, could you please look at my story and share it? I desperately need help from someone like you. I swear to you, my daughter's condition is worsening due to lack of treatment. My husband is a prisoner, and I'm raising four children alone. I just want your help. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹
Aral,
You wrote, “Many Jews are opposed to genocide and are anti-Zionist.”
In this article:
https://www.readthemaple.com/zionism-is-canadas-most-successful-hate-movement/
We have learned that 94% of Canadian Jews support Israel as a Jewish state, and 71% do not think it is committing genocide.
I understand that conflating Jewish identity and Zionism is antisemitic, but the numbers speak for themselves: a large majority of Jews are Zionists and desire a Jewish state.
Conflating Jewishness with Zionism is not surprising.
