equating antizionism with antisemitism is a purposefully conflation by fascists regimes to legitimize their genocides and purposefully confuse the ignorant
I went to JCC preschool and summer camp the group of kids who went weren’t all Jewish, but we were all taught from a young age about Israel and oftentimes it was equated with Judaism. We all learned from the Israelis who came to teach Israeli culture for the summer, usually they had recently finished their time in the IDF. All that indoctrination and in the same breath I got told I wasn’t Jewish because I’m Patrilineally Jewish.

This was such a great piece that perfectly fit everything that I have wanted to educate people on in my community. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you that is so so nice!!!
Me too!! My family also got rejected from certain synagogues because my mom converted so I wasn’t 'Jewish' enough.
All this to say this piece is very good
