July 02, 2022 Reflecting on a Year of Anti-Zionism
It’s been a little over a year since we published israel Won’t Save Us: Moving Towards Liberation. Since then, we’ve identified openly as an anti-Zionist Jewish organization. This decision has brought us into community with incredible Jewish organizations, educators, and organizers who have welcomed us and encouraged us to keep going. We’ve also faced backlash from Jewish communities and lost opportunities as well. We are so grateful for the people who have reached out to share their stories, lessons, and advice.
In this episode, we reflect on our decision to publish the article and our experiences since!
Be back next week with the beginning of our July series on how Jewish ethics support anti-zionism 👀
