Creative Anti zionist youtubers

Hi! I'm not Jewish, but I figured this would be the best place to ask! Can anybody recommend any antizionist youtubers so I can learn more about Judaism? Thanks in advance! God bless to all of you 💖

Bad Hasbara is a hilarious podcast run by anti-Zionist jews, they have wonderful guests and always make me laugh while covering Israel’s horrific and disgusting actions

They’re not really about Judaism as per your requirements but they do slip in stories about their upbringing and explain things relevant to Jewish history and jewish culture

i love badhasbara, and i love their subreddit and the podcast is amazing. it really gives light in such a dark time

its a shame that its getting review bombed by zionists who havent listened to the podcast

Seen a few vids by Matt Bernstein; a queer jew that would probably filter a lot of superficial people off of his political content just by the way he looks, but he does slay with words too, so check him out. (One of the topics he talks about is Israel pink washing)

Ornament and Crime has fantastic videos on Judaism from an anti zionist perspective.

He's not a "youtuber" as such, but this lecture by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro would likely be the thing you're looking for if you're looking for an explanation of a Jewish anti-zionist perspective.

I love the way Shapiro ‘torks’.

The quintessential Noo Yawk Jewish accent! 🥰

Its good to hear a proper ny accent, gentrification is killing it.

Agreed. I was being genuine! I hope no one thought otherwise.

Due Dissidence guys are anti-Zionist Jews. Check out the podcast, they are some of the best political commentators on YouTube.

Jacob Geller is a great YouTube essayist that includes a lot of Jewish history and themes in his content.

So this is neither anti-Zionist or zionist, its just a great explanation of Judaism for those who are not Jewish. A little long, but very simple and easy to follow

Colonial Outcasts channel on YT frequently criticizes Zionism as well as U.S. Imperialism.

I've found that several pro-Palestine and/or anti-Zionism podcasts tend to be leftist (i.e. socialist, I guess?) Just FYI. I had a socialist / communist phase back in college which perhaps helps me a bit to adjust from being a former Trump fan. 😂 We need to unite with all allies available, IMO.

The Hebrew Canaanite are some anti-zionist Jews in Israel, very down to earth and kind. Often do live streams from their homes or from protests in Israel. They are pretty brave... Can be found here: https://youtube.com/@hebrewcanaanite?si=AHfmKXCy1sg5JK1u

He doesn’t talk about Judaism specifically most often the time but Big Joel/Little Joel is awesome, and as others have mentioned, Matt Bernstein. There’s also Solomon Brager who makes really good comics/graphic novels touching on Judaism and anti-zionism. I found his stuff on the Jewish Currents website.
