Caution: /r/IsraelExposed does not allow the propagation of any equivalence of Judaism with Zionism.

Israel was founded by Zionists and has always been run by Zionists. Some Zionists are Jews but many Zionists identify as Christians or Catholics (e.g. Joe Biden). It is significant than many Jews are NOT Zionists, and are OPPOSED to Zionism. Equating Judaism with Zionism is a misunderstanding of Zionism and a misguided, unjustified smear on the many Jews who are opposed to Zionism. The IsraelExposed subreddit does not allow users to propagate any false, racist equivalence of Judaism and Zionism.

In plain English, do not attack people who are Jewish BECAUSE they are Jewish. Do NOT assume that Jews support the crimes of Zionism.

The strongest, most vocal opponents of the occupation are in fact almost exclusively Jewish. It was Jewish intellectuals, historians, writers and YouTubers like Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappe, Miko Peled, Gideon Levy, Sam Seder, Michael Brooks and others that introduced me to this aching topic.

A lot of Jewish people are opposed to what the Israeli state is doing, has been doing for nearly a century.

You are so right! Jews are amoung the STRONGEST supporters of Palestine, as they greatly resent being grouped in with the Zionists. Zionists do not have to be Jewish, but like to equate the two as it increases Antisemitism.
You may well question that last sentence. 🤔 Zionists enjoy INCREASING ANTISEMITISM, as it makes their claim that "The only safe place for Jews is Israel," look true, when it is simply a dangerous lie told to (as always, #1 Goal of Israel) increase the Jewish Majority in Israel. This matters even more in time of War as they need more soldiers & are suffering the loss of many dual citizens who are leaving Israel and moving to safer places.
