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!

I've always wanted to ask this, so this seems like the opportunity...what are some aspects of the anti-Zionist movement among non-Jews make you kind of uneasy or that go too far? I mean, fundamentally, we're against the occupation and the human rights abuses and mass atrocities committed by officials of the State of Israel and pro-self-determination for Palestinians, not against the idea of a Jewish state, which i think is more of an issue that concerns Jews more so than us non-Jews should be concerned about

Agree! Anger at Zionism should be even more directly anger at Western Imperialism and White Supremacy, which is the core trauma of all this mess.
