Ok I've decided to make some basic resources for anti-Zionist Jews who feel really alone and want to connect with each other or with our culture or history.

Reading List

Traces of History: Elementary Structures of Race

The Making of Jewish Revolutionaries in the Pale of Settlement

Twenty Years with the Jewish Labor Bund A Memoir of Interwar Poland

Crisis, Revolution, and Russian Jews

Colonial Paradigms of Violence: Comparative Analysis of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Mass Killing

The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History

With Freedom in Our Ears: Histories of Jewish Anarchism

A Fire in Their Hearts: Yiddish Socialists in New York

How Jews Became White Folks: And What That Says About Race in America

Modern Middle Eastern Jewish Thought: Writings on Identity, Politics, and Culture, 1893–1958

A History of Egyptian Communism Jews and Their Compatriots in Quest of Revolution

The Sultan's Communists: Moroccan Jews and the Politics of Belonging

On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings of Ella Shohat

Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew

When We Were Arabs: A Jewish Family’s Forgotten History

The Arab Jews: A Postcolonial Reading of Nationalism, Religion, and Ethnicity

(Do also check out Decolonize Palestine for the original resources as well as the reading list that centres Palestinians themselves)

News and Magazines

Jewish Currents [United States]

Treyf Podcast [Montreal, Quebec, Canada] (sadly defunct but you can listen to their older, archived podcasts which include some great interviews)

Edit: I think it's also worth adding The Electronic Intifada. It's not explicitly Jewish, but it often features interviews with and opinion pieces by anti-Zionist Jews while primarily being an outlet for Palestinians themselves.

Organisations

Jewish Voice for Peace [United States]

IfNotNow [United States]

Independent Jewish Voices Canada [Canada]

Jewdas [United Kingdom]

Jews Against Fascism [Australia]

Dayenu: New Zealand Jews Against Occupation [Aotearoa / New Zealand]

Sh'ma Koleinu – Alternative Jewish Voices [Aotearoa / New Zealand]

Synagogues

Tzedek [Chicago, Illinois, United States]

Chavurah For A Free Palestine at Kehilla Community Synagogue [Piedmont, California, United States]

Edit: Have also been told I can add Kadima Reconstructionist Community [Seattle, Washington, United States] to the list!

On the topic of your posts of Zionists calling Jewish people anti semitic for being anti-zionists,

I feel like they're(Zionists) own definitions of who gets to be Jewish flip flops too from post to post. (Bc they keep trying to find different avenues to try and invalidate anti-zionist Jewish people's identity, but in the end its like wait so which one of those rigid definitions do they actually believe because clearly if they're using these "standards" against others, they're not as open and progressive as they often make themselves out to be in)

Yes! Exactly this!

Jewish Zionists will accuse Jews of being phoney, that they’re “not actually Jewish” or “not really Jewish”, an accusation based entirely on someones affiliation to the separatist, racist Zionist ideology. Zionists pride themselves on the Jewish expressions akin to “1 Jew, 2 opnions”, and how diverse our people are! … But that diversity has to fit into the Zionist ideological framework, or the anti-Zionist is cut off, cast away and branded a “traitor”, a “nazi”, or just “not a real Jew”. The very act of rejecting Zionist ideology is encouraged, by religious leaders and community members; it’s an issue with deeper roots we Jews must get comfortable with facing.

In essence, you could say this propagation is an extension of the Zionist forced-assimilation that upholds the Israeli settler culture— necessitating an entire people into conformity of a particular (namely right-wing) ideology through intimidation and bullying tactics. It goes without saying, that Zionists perpetuate some of the most violent and damaging antisemitism inder the guise of “dismantling antisemitism”… their counterproductivity is only matched by their contradiction.

Zionist Jews bully anti-Zionist Jews, and historically so, to enforce Zionist ideology. It is a cycle that must be dissolved immediately, to ensure full liberation of Judaism from violent Facist ideological extremism.

zionists are the ultimate antisemites. they constantly threaten me and others with death, saying they wish my ancestors had perished in the holocaust or pogroms or that i should die the same way, for not sucking netanyahu's cock and participating in the idol worship of colonial military project. zionism is a death cult built on ideals of racial superiority and authoritarian control, zionism is hitlerism is nazism is fascism, zionism is spitting in the very face of G-d.

[yiddisheyfe]

You are a Jew hating shande and a racist. Enjoy when your comrades kill you in the coming Pogroms for Palestine!

youre worried about theoretical deaths that will never happen but you would not shed a tear for 50000 palestinians murdered in cold blood by the fascist zionist entity falsely claiming judaism as its reason for commiting a holocaust. you are beyond hope. you are a tar pit. i will laugh in pure joy with my comrades when we see a free palestine from the river to the sea, and the destruction of all colonial entities ravaging indigenous lands and ethnically cleansing their peoples, from turtle island to west papau

just finished the Kickstarter stretch goal bookplate for Beyond the Pale, which i believe will actually be printed on the inside cover of the books - it's not too late to pre-order the game, it could be your name on that bottom scroll!

the designs & lettering on the hands making the priestly blessing are a reference to a famous illustration from a Kabbalistic text called the Shefa Tal (with some changes, such as removing the tetragrammaton)

One of the things that pisses me off most about this genocide and overall occupation is how many people say it's so complicated and there's so much nuance and there isn't one easy solution. This is one of the simplest things I have ever seen. Zionists invaded palestine in 1947-48. They have occupied it for 76 years while taking more and more land. They kidnap and torture and massacre Palestinians day in day out for those 76 years. They control every aspect of Palestinian life, including their water and medical care. And now they are committing another genocide against them. Where is the complication? What is hard to understand? "Well, Jewish people need a place where they won't be discriminated against" I absolutely agree. So make every country in the world safe for Jewish people. Fight against anti Semitism across the world. Don't commit a genocide and set up an ethnostate.

[yiddisheyfe]

A reminder that Palestinian freedom is not going to be dictated by anybody but Palestinians.

We must do our part in deconstructing Zionism, in carving out a better future for all, but we do not get to decide how Palestinians liberate themselves from the shackles we have been complacent in binding for so long. We must boycott, protest, radicalise one another, raise our children to carry our spirit; but we do not get to tell Palestinian people how to liberate themselves.

We make a clear path for their feet and clear space for their voices. We do not stop until Palestine is liberated.

while i sit here and think about how hind's last moments on earth were horrors beyond fiction and comprehension, stuck with the lifeless bodies of 5 of her family members for hours, getting a sliver of hope that help is coming, only for her and her rescuers to be savagely killed seconds later, i also think about the filthy, disgusting, self-victimizing pieces of shit who have the audacity to argue that zionism in any way shape or form, now or ever, is a peaceful ideology or has the potential to be one. calling people like you scum is honest to God a fucking generosity, no word can describe how utterly revolting you are. i hope, and i pray, and i wish every fucking day that you'll never get used to hell for making hind's life hell on earth.

Trans-inclusive language in religious texts is SO IMPORTANT. There is nothing in some young people’s lives that can either validate or dehumanize them so quickly as how they see themselves represented in the words of their religion.

May all who need to see these words find them.
