Excellent debate in link below about Antizionism vs antisemitism

Debate: Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism

I personally did not know the size of antisemitism and where it comes from in todays world until I talked with a Jewish colleague. It is always good to talk with people that can give you another perspective.

What I also realized is the more crimes gets committed by Israel’s army the more all Jews are affected. It is pretty much following the same trend of Islamophobia which elevates with different events.

I have recently attended couple of meetings by the Democratic County committee to vote on cease fire resolution. I have listened to tens of Jewish ladies and gentlemen and majority identify themselves as “I am Jewish and antizionist and support the cease fire resolution”.

I was wondering how many Jews are antizionism.

I found this article from 2 years ago and it seems like 45% of Jews in the US perceive Israel as essential to them. The rest is between important but not essential or a don’t care. My humble guess is supporters percentage will go lower after recent events and as more massacres and genocide is being done.

The good news
I love seeing more people, especially in the US and the west educate themselves and stand for Justice instead of propaganda.
I love seeing historians from all sides telling the true story and for some of them becoming activists and adopt antizionism.

Above all, I have more hope in our youth and hope their values don’t get corrupted as they get older and in power.

I do, however, feel disgusted by the corruption within politics and how much penetration/influence Israel has on US politicians through lobbies like AIPAC.
