Solidarity Is the Political Version of Love: Lessons from Jewish Anti-Zionist Organizing

Independent Jewish Voices in Canada this year also voted overwhelmingly at our AGM to ratify our movement to become Antizionist, and has endorsed the BDS movement, for any Canadian folks looking for misphacha!

There's also a Canadian non-Zionist congregation in Toronto, Canada starting up called Min Hameitzar. Question, tho, what happens to non-anti-Zionist Jews who live in smaller cities or for that matter, in rural areas, without a critical mass of left leaning Jews? How do we build the depth of community you describe? Commuting to the big city is not always possible. Even when we do travel to visit, there is a discontinuity in relationship that makes connection more challenging.

In regard to the actual history, not the imaginary biblical stories which the zionists use to legitimize their military occupation in Palestine, Tel Aviv University Professor of Archaeology Ze’ev Herzog summed up the major archaeological findings of 70 years of intensive excavations in Palestine with the following: "The patriarchs’ acts are legendary, the Israelites did not sojourn in Egypt or make an exodus, they did not conquer the land. Neither is there any mention of the empire of David and Solomon, nor of the source of belief in the God of Israel. These facts have been known for years, but Israel is a stubborn people and nobody wants to hear about it." - Ha’aretz Magazine, Friday, October 29, 1999.
