AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

how do jews feel about israel claiming to be the voice of jews while being a puppet of the us in foreign affairs?

(i am half mayan and israel worked with guatemala at the behest of the us to help with a coup and enact a genocide on my people.)

there is nothing Jewish about the state of Israel by any measure.

there is nothing Jewish about zionist ideology by any measure.

the state of israel has no more right to claim to be the "voice of jews" as the catholic pope does.

Maybe even less so, because what the Datiim practice isn't Judaism, it's a Judaically-inflected neo-Paganism.

who do you mean when you say "Datiim"? mizrachi? "dosim"?

The Dati Leumi, most especially but not exclusively the religious settlers.
