A Different Zionism
I have been told, many times over, that I could not be a Zionist. I’ve been told that by people I know. I’ve read it in sweeping generalizations in articles and emails. I’ve heard it in speeches and rhetoric. I’m not a stranger to this statement, but it always stings.
I’ve been told that because of my hope for the future. To put it ridiculously simply, I support...

Winning the war on campus →
forzionssake:
Are any of you readers pro-Israel activists on campus? Here are some pretty useful tidbits to always remember. I advocate a lot of the advice espoused here from my personal experiences as a pro-Israel college student at Berkeley. For example, it’s why you never see me getting into reblogging or flame wars with people here on Tumblr.
Always remember: “According to the most recent...

You know they say sometimes you have to work with people you deem obnoxious, for their views, for a cause or movement. But there’s always a red line; I will never find myself next to someone whose [hypocritical] support for Palestinians is rooted in antisemitism. Nopes. You cannot justify that because the movement is based on getting rid of ethno-religious...

The soldiers, who were in civilian clothing, were attacked last Friday night outside Rambam Medical Center. A group of Israeli-Arab men first asked if the soldiers were Jewish, according to reports, before assaulting them with rocks, metal bars and planks of...

Most of all, I think, there is the entrenched cultural attitude toward Palestinians deriving from age-old Western prejudices about Islam, the Arabs, and the Orient. The attitude, from which in its turn Zionism drew for its view of the Palestinians, dehumanized us, reduced us to the barely tolerated status of a nuisance.

forzionssake:
This article from Le Monde (French only, sorry) reports that a Paris court ordered the Paris Sorbonne No. 8 university to be closed for two days to prevent Israel Apartheid Week. This occured after anti-Israel activists noted they would still hold the event by “force” in defiance of the university’s orders. The University President decided to cancel Israel Apartheid Week because of...

Jordan is Palestine.

Real Jews do not support any new two state solution.
Good to know we have a person who has the ability to discern who is and who isn’t really Jewish. I was wondering myself - I know I was born Jewish to a Jewish mother and father, raised Jewish, follow mitzvot, attend shul, and live my life according to Jewish principles of ethics, justice, and equality. But I was never quite...

“The ultra-Orthodox men in Israel who are exerting control over women claim that they are honoring women. In effect they are saying: We do not treat women as sex objects as you in Western society do. Our women are about more than their bodies, and that is why their bodies must be fully covered. In fact, though, their actions objectify and hyper-sexualize women. Think...
