How does anti-Zionism become antisemitism? When a community garden requires its members to pledge that theyre anti-Zionist in order to join. Seriously, this is ridiculous. gothamist.com/news/a-queen...

The pledge also required opposing homophobia. This is how it is anti-religious bigotry as well. KKK sympathizers must be welcome too!

@idott.bsky.social 1/ Yes. 4starters “anti-Zionism” is a very fuzzy term. It could mean one thinks the Jewish people have no right to a homeland, which, I would say, is antisemitic. Or, it could mean one thinks that in an ideal world, a binational state in Israel/Palestine would be a better outcome

Zionism required force displacement of people living in the land for centuries by europen jews not the jews who never left the land

zionism and Judaism are two separate things conflating the actions of the Israeli government with Jewish people generally is antisemetic, because it places the blame on all Jewish people, rather than recognizing that many Jewish people oppose the actions of the state of Israel

When we were looking for an AirBnB in Montreal last year, one of the places said they would refuse to rent to Zionists. We reported them, and they seem to have vanished from the listings.

Antisemitism is the progressivism of fools. Aside from the harm it does to Jews, the actions of these people only does more harm to the Palestinian cause by associating it with bigots and not the people actually suffering right now.

It's strange that I can go to an event organized by Israeli and Palestinians of different experiences and politics without being subjected to any type of litmus text, yet people for whom this conflict is just a superficial interest feel entitled to determine who is allowed to speak.

I mean if you reject people for a political ideology (zionism) that mean it's not about being jew. There is non jews zionists too so there is no antisimitism there just an action that law prohibit

It's actually very simple. Criticism of the Israeli *government* is not per se evidence of antisemitism. Israelis do it all the time. Attacking the very notion of a Jewish homeland IS antisemitism.

I don't get it. Are you saying anti-Zionism is not per se antisemitism but becomes antisemitism once you exclude people who aren't anti-Zionist from something? That doesn't compute for me.

2/ than the current state of Israel, which, on its face, may not be clearly antisemitic. Regardless, Zionism is a core belief of many Jews qua Jews. So for people refusing to sign as pledge of anti-Zionism (signing of pledges being its own horror) to be excluded from a public space is antisemitic
