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.

I have sooooo many questions:
How do Anti-Zionist Jews honestly engage in situations where their Jewishness is called into question for being Anti-Zionist?
How does one effectively go against the grain when trapped in such a "conversation"?
How does this affect religiosity?
How well does Zionism really line up with Judaism for you? How does it make you feel?
How do you feel about non-Jewish people in general? Is there a fear there and has allyship helped? (I ask this because IMO Zionism leverages fear to a significant degree, and, as a "goy" ally with a superficial understanding of Judaism, I often feel like an unintended misstep is imminent due to ignorance, which simply reinforces the fear factor).
What has changed for you all since October 7?
What are the demographics in Anti-Zionist circles? I.e., Age, gender, secular/practicing, etc.
Finally, are you guys and girls ok and what can people do to support you?
