We need to have some fun around here. I like how she validates the use of “being Israeli” as an activity (being completely unbearable) rather than just an identity.

      It was pointed out to me today that there are only four anti-Zionist synagogues in the USA. Makes my perspective on the whole Israeli Flag Burning Emoji civil war on a certain nearby website even bleaker. They were bargaining with their hallucinations of a Jewish antizionist left, of an Israeli left. We’re not so far off around here. Maybe a few years, a few people.

      I was curious what the actual numbers were, and the numbers are… not very well researched. Unsurprisingly feels like Israel basically makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment and deportation to be openly anti-Zionist.

      Best I could find was a survey suggesting 9% of Israelis defined themselves as ‘Anti-zionist’ (CW: Israeli attitude shittery within). Obviously how many of them are “actually” anti-zionist and not just critical of the government is hard to know. But to be fair, even if it was just 1-10% of that 9%, that would be ~8,000-80,000. Not a miniscule amount in absolute terms, but still a super tiny minority.

      Interestingly, there also some vaguely better-than-expected (but still awful) statistics on support for shared living, hospital and bathing spaces.
