Shalom my friends!

How can I, as an Arab American meet more anti Zionist Jewish people? I would love to meet more people and learn more about your religion from people who do not support a genocide against my people.

Salaam! (I think questions for JewsOfConscience are supposed to go in the other thread but I’m happy to answer).

I would look up Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) in your area. They are an anti-Zionist Jewish group that also includes non-Jewish allies, and are active across the USA.

There are also some non-Zionist and anti-Zionist congregations scattered across the USA, but showing up to a religious event might be strange. They may have social events that welcome inter-faith participants.

If I can find a list of non-Zionist shuls I will link it.

Personally, during this trying time, I love meeting Arab and Muslim friends.

Oops, sorry for posting in the wrong place lol. Yeah I did not want to just show up to a religious event-- I know that unfortunately there are people who have used recent events as an excuse to do horrible things and the jewish community is very alert right now because of it. I will definitely look into social events or inter-faith events! Thank you so much!
