This article has done a tremendous job of making the Zionists here expose themselves. They take issue with this, but can’t form an argument against the points being raised as is typical with Zionists.
If you have no problem saying that Boers are complicit in Apartheid or that Southerners are complicit in slavery, then you should have no problem with saying that Jews are complicit in Zionism. If any of the other groups mentioned here was doing the same as Israelis are doing currently, no one here would have a problem with saying “Yes, All Boers/Southerners” nor would anyone call that “hate speech” other than right-wingers themselves. Jews aren’t exceptional, and the standards you apply to Boers and Southerners should apply just as much to them.
When I remark to Jews that we all are responsible for ending Zionism and the ongoing Palestinian genocide, I usually hear, “Not all Jews / Say Zionists, not Jews / There are actually more Christian Zionists than Jewish ones.” Well I am speaking to Jews right now, a people who support fascist Zionism in lockstep across every institution in our community.
The article even directly addresses this hand wringing in its opening paragraphs. It’s the norm for Jewish communities to not only approve of Zionism but to directly materially support it because the religion is so deeply enmeshed with colonization at this point. Every Jew therefore has a responsibility to destroy the Zionism within Judaism because whether they like it or not, they are involved in this. They can either contribute towards ending it or perpetuating it but there is no neutral stance.
The responses here remind me of how Americans get when a foreigner denounces the US. “Hate the government not the people,” “I didn’t ask for this either,” “I just live here.” Ok guys then fucking do something about it.
