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.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

Anyone know of any anti-zionist Jewish owned restaurants/businesses in NYC or Chicago or DC? Would be great to support these businesses!  otherwise is there a good way to tell if a Jewish business is anti-zio (In the absence of explicit giveaways like Israeli flags)?

i urge u not to decide whether or not to go to a jewish establishment based upon if they r zionists or not. If they dont make it clear and publicize their support for israel i dont think its fair to hold them to a different standard then any other business

Why do they get a pass because they're Jewish?

I've done this around Trump and especially around COVID-19 denialists.

it’s not that they “get a pass”, if they have widely publicized their beliefs and donate money to the idf or what not for sure don’t go there but if there’s an absence of that which the person was asking abt it’s not fair to just assume they r zionist and boycott them just cuz their jewish. In the absence of any explicit advertisements treat them like any other business and not refuse to patronize any jewish establishment just because ur unsure of if they r antizionist.

I’m not gonna go to places that r homophobic or pro trump or against the vaccine, but a lot of places don’t make their positions clear and i’m not gonna hold a business owned by jews to a different standard then any other place.
