An anti-zionist Jew on why anti-semitism is on the rise.
"When you perpetrated an apartheid, when you committed genocide and then when you support it all in the name of the Jewish people, that is what causes anti-semitism to be on the rise, not the opposition of those horrific crimes"

I'm going to make this as simple and straightforward as I can make it.

You don't have to agree with Zionism

You don't have to believe that Zionism is Jewish civil rights.

You don't have to agree with the Zionist idea of Jewish self-determination.

But you do have to accept the following:

Holding all Zionists responsible for the actions of a few politicians in a minority government is not just wrong, it's a form of hate.

Zionism has been part of Jewish thought since were forcibly expelled from our homeland 2,000 years ago, and even in its modern form is older than Herzel and the European Zionist movement.

Saying Zionism is a hate group or hateful ideology is disgusting and inverting the meaning of hate.

70-80% of all Jews are Zionists, and Zionists live around the world.

Using minority viewpoints to say what is and isn't part of Judaism is gross and tokenizing.
