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!

Is anyone here tired of the jewish world being majority zionist of some kind? On tumblr there was a really popular post which listed ways gentiles can be good jewish allies, and one of the requirements is "don't use zionist like a dirty word, its no worse than feminism". And the most popular jumblr fandom bloggers I know of are liberal zionists.

Do you have any bad experiences there?

Enough bad experiences and inane arguments that lead to nowhere for me to realize that it is not healthy for me as a non jewish person to take anything said there seriously. Additionally, it is very much an echo chamber of what I think are American Jews/Israelis who are knee deep into Jewish institutions and community that is unfortunately extremely zionist while also refusing to acknowledge any form of privilege they have on the basis of the “KKK and the Neo-Nazis don’t see us as white, so you’re antisemitic for saying we benefit from white privilege”
