I was at a pro-Palestine campus protest and there were times where I was instinctively uncomfortable because they were really hammering in the whole bit about reported 'antisemitic action on campus' being a non-issue and I had to remind myself that they aren't talking about people acting against Jews, they're talking about people acting against Israel.
It's my most personal and privileged grievance against Israel. I no longer know if a supposed threat to my safety is a bullshit bludgeon to silence pro-Palestine voices or if the yank reich is actually in town and I need to commute for the rest of the week.
I'll never forgive them for it. I'll never forgive them for a lot of things, but this is the most personal grievance I have, and since I'm born and raised a cracker suburbanite, it's the only one I truly, directly feel in my personal life.
I don't want this to override, you know, the actually important grievances that are at stake for Palestine here, and I don't want to make myself the center of this issue when I'm very much not at all, but I guess I've just been stewing in this for a bit, and I want to uncap it before it somehow causes me to become a weird crank through lack of addressing the root of the issue and it festering into my belief system
Most Jews aren't Zionists.
Zionism is not Judaism.
Anyone who calls you antisemitic immediately and without evidence is probably a Zionist, or confused by Zionists.
Zionists are Fascists, or Fascist Adjacent.
Is there any actual research/data on this? Every time I search it's a mixed bag between articles claiming over 90% of Jews are zionist to articles saying 'a lot more Jews than you think aren't zionists' but with no hard numbers.
A lot of people define zionism differently so those surveys that tote 90+% can't be taken at face value (https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/zionism-an-ideal-that-has-little-purhase-on-reality/ best resource that I've found on the matter).
I think it's fair to say that most jews don't like how Israel operates even if they might define themselves as a zionist due to personal/family complications (also a lot of zionist propaganda).
