What Is Anti-Zionism?
Anti-Zionism is the rejection of Zionism — the denial of Israel’s right to exist. It’s not criticism of Israeli policy (which any democracy must invite); it’s the denial of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in parts of their ancestral homeland. From Soviet propaganda and UN Resolution 3379 to today’s BDS movement and campus activism, anti-Zionism has evolved into a coordinated effort to strip the world’s only Jewish state of its legitimacy by dressing the oldest hatred in the language of social justice. Natan Sharansky’s Three Ds — Delegitimization, Demonization, and Double Standards — and the IHRA definition, adopted by more than 30 countries, draw a clear line between legitimate criticism and Jew hatred. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism, plain and simple.

An excellent piece by @CamillaLong that articulates what many people have been saying for the past two years — especially those of us on the ground who have reported and witnessed evidence we will never forget and spoken directly with those who survived the atrocity.
Mayor Mamdani: the refugees you post about exist because 22 Arab states launched a war to destroy Israel on May 15, 1948—rejecting the UN plan that also called for a Palestinian state. In its aftermath, 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab lands. Your post mentions none of this.
Dear @NYCMayor, @RepRashida, and friends:
A history lesson for lying ignoramuses and those who unwittingly follow them.
The Nakba never ended because the Nakba never started.
Let me explain:
Marwan Barghouti is a serial murderer.
During the second intifada he founded and led the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a militant group designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, which was responsible for numerous suicide bombings and shooting attacks.
He was the head of the Tanzim, an armed faction within Fatah that engaged in violence.
He was charged with 26 murders for which he claimed in court was justified resistance and showed no remorse.
He is serving five life sentences.
Javier Bardem is serving terrorist lover.
In March 1968 the Polish government launched a campaign to expel its Jews.
The pretext was anti-imperialism.
The 1967 Six-Day War had embarrassed the Soviet bloc, whose Arab clients had been humiliated by Israel in six days, and Moscow's response was to declare Zionism a form of imperialism, a tool of American power, a threat to the international working class.
Jews were dismissed from everything, universities, ministries, the army, the press. Investigations were opened into the loyalty of Jewish officials.
Approximately 15,000 Jews left. They went to Israel, to Sweden, to Denmark, to the United States, to wherever would have them.
They left a country in which their grandparents had been murdered twenty-three years earlier,
In 1933 it was racial science. In 1968 it was anti-imperialism. In 2026 it is anti-zionism.
Each generation of Jew-haters discovers a vocabulary and persuades itself that the new vocabulary is genuinely different from the old one, and uses the new vocabulary to do exactly what the old one did.
Saw this yesterday and it really hit.
I’ll never understand the hate folks show to people because of their ethnicity, their religion, or heritage. Jews in America should not be attacked for the actions of Netanyahu or the Israeli government. Stop it!
And if your first instinct is to jump into my replies with antisemitic garbage or conspiracy theories, that says far more about you than it does about anyone else. The fact that this even needs to be said in 2026 is pathetic. Watch this segment.
Non-Jews you stand at a crossroads.
Either you walk back the smear campaigns and the libels and the banishment of us so that the truth can be amplified and we can work together to resolve this mess.
Or you surrender to conquering Islamism and it will take every freedom and notion of safety you ever had away from you.
There is a claim that keeps circulating, presented as sophisticated analysis: antisemitic violence is caused by Israel’s actions. If Israel behaved differently, Jewish communities around the world would somehow be safer. This argument is not analysis. It is a moral inversion. And it collapses the moment you apply it consistently.
When China imprisons Uyghurs, does anyone warn Muslim communities in Paris to expect attacks? When Russia invaded Ukraine, did anyone tell Russian restaurants to brace for violence? No. Never. The causal chain between a government’s actions and violence against a diaspora is only ever constructed for Jews. Every other minority is extended the basic moral courtesy of being treated as individuals rather than proxies.
Now look at what the data actually shows. The SPCJ, which tracks antisemitic incidents in France in coordination with the Interior Ministry, has documented a consistent and damning pattern: it is antisemitic violence that inspires more antisemitic violence, not Israeli policy. After Mohamed Merah murdered Jewish children at point-blank range at the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse in 2012, antisemitic acts surged by 200%. There was no Gaza operation. No Israeli military action. The massacre of Jews in France produced more attacks on Jews in France.
The same logic held after the Hypercacher attack in January 2015: antisemitic acts increased by nearly 300%. Massacres of Jews do not shock antisemites into restraint. They embolden them. They signal impunity. They normalize hatred. And everyone in a position of responsibility knows it.
Which brings us to October 7. From the day of the Hamas attack, antisemitic acts in France increased by over 1,000%. A daily average of approximately 25 antisemitic acts was recorded in the 30 days that followed, reaching nearly 40 on some days. In the three months after the attack, the number of antisemitic acts equaled those recorded over the previous three years combined.
And here is another detail that makes the “Israel causes antisemitism” argument impossible to sustain: the spike began on October 7 itself, the very day of the attack. Israel had not yet responded. Not a single soldier had entered Gaza. Interior Minister Darmanin sent an urgent message to prefects that same day asking them to immediately reinforce protection of Jewish community sites. Synagogues. Schools. Community centers. By October 10, 10,000 police officers had been deployed to protect 500 Jewish sites across the country.
Before any Israeli response existed, the French government already knew that Jewish communities needed protecting. Not because of what Israel was about to do. Because of what had just been done to Jews.
Antisemitic violence has one cause. Antisemitism.
The Free Palestine movement is the Nazi party. It’s the reason Jews are being hunted. It’s the wall you’ve all hidden behind while you’ve banished us from public life. Scum of the earth.
Students at The New School in NYC have voted to suspend funding for the campus Hillel chapter.
To be clear: Hillel is a place for Jewish students to gather, celebrate Shabbat and holidays, and connect to their identity.
This is a revolting act of bigotry. It’s discrimination against Jewish students, plain and simple.
"Invoking Islamophobia every time Jews are threatened with murder is like expressing concern for men every time a woman is raped."

Calling Jews “Zionists” doesn’t fool anyone. We know who you mean. You’re gaslighting with deadly consequences.
A musician went on a podcast last week to tell the world that American Zionists get the benefits of white privilege but talk like Black people during slavery. Then he mocked us for complaining we’re oppressed.
Meanwhile, in just the last few months: Two Jews stabbed today in Golders Green — treated as attempted terrorist murder. Four Jewish ambulances blown up there last month. A gun and car ramming at a synagogue in Michigan. Arson attacks on synagogues across America, Holland, Belgium, the UK. A synagogue shot up in Toronto. Jews murdered at a synagogue in Manchester. Jews slapped on the streets of New York. Jews massacred on Bondi Beach. A Jew murdered in Boulder. A couple shot dead outside a Jewish museum in Washington, DC.
The attacker in London didn’t ask his victims their views on Benjamin Netanyahu or the war. He walked into a Jewish neighborhood and found Jews who looked like Jews.
If your response to this list is to call us privileged, deny it’s happening, or blame the Israeli government — you are creating the atmosphere in which Jewish people are attacked and killed.
Next time I’m in NYC, I’ll be on that same subway wearing this ✡️ because we don’t hide who we are. Am Yisrael Chai.
If you're shocked by today's stabbing terror attack on British Jews, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years.
Not a single one of the men who drove through North London in 2021 shouting “F*** the Jews, f*** their daughters, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters and free Palestine" were prosecuted. Not one.
So why is anyone surprised when British Jews are stabbed in broad daylight a few years later? The message went out loud and clear that anti-semitism was allowed on our streets. You reap what you sow.
