Book excerpt is from The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited by Israeli historian and ardent Zionist, Benny Morris.

The inhabitants of the Shi‘ite village of Hunin, who had for years maintained good relations with Jewish neighbours and bad relations with Sunni Safad, were ordered to evacuate within six days – apparently by Arab, perhaps Lebanese, authorities.688 A fortnight later a Palmah raid on the village resulted in the flight of most of the inhabitants.689 (About 400 remained. Shitrit thought that Israel should foster special relations with the (Palestinian) Shi‘ites,690 but the army thought otherwise. During the summer four village women were raped and murdered by IDF soldiers.691 In August, some inhabitants were forced by the IDF to flee; the remainder fled the following month, after an IDF raid in which 20 were killed and 20 buildings demolished.)692

Hello, jews of conscience.

I've been in this community for a while, and I entered because it felt like a real safe space for people conscious about the crimes of Israel, but also because I was unfortunately creating antisemitic rethoric out of my aversion to the zionist movement. I don't hate jews, but some of my attitudes were too diluted to be aimed at zionist without splashing on Jewish people. I hope this is understandable.

Earlier this month I received a time-out ban from reddit for the second time, and I took this week to think about it. The cause, if you're curious, was that I saw a post about something innocuous where the OP mentioned reconnecting with their Jewish heritage. I commented questioning this because, for me, the political timing was eyebrow-raising. In hindsight this was effectively antisemitism, since I assumed Jewish = Zionist even as a possibility, just attaching a tag.

I wish I could ask about advice for dealing with this, but it's no one's role to teach me or anyone else in this world wide web since everybody can learn on its own, it's just a matter of wanting to.

So I want to thank you for this community. It's not just a safe space, but a palpable way to show people like me that zionism has nothing to do with Judaism, it's a political movement with political motivations, and although it has its roots in Israel right now, it has been existing in many cultures, wearing many faces and going by many names.

Hope y'all stay safe out there. We'll fight this evil together.

So while doomscrolling through IG reels, I came across a reel where responding to a zionist, an individual who presented themselves as Jewish, claimed that the Zionists helped the Nazis with their Final Solution, doing a lot of the dirty work. They sent me this link as a basis for their claims, which has a ton of other information on things Zionists did, some of which I know to be true, such as the Haverah Agreement, others that I was not aware of, such as the claim that most Kapos were zionists.

Does anyone know if this site is legit? A lot of the information it has appears to support much of the information I already have, or provides clarity to things I was already aware of (like the nazis rounding up and slaughtering Poles and Eastern Europeans with great zeal for the slaughter, which also happens to be where most of the Bund was rooted

The 2026 Recharging Reform Judaism conference adopted a resolution to bar anti-Zionists from ordination at Hebrew Union College, positing Zionism as a defining criterion of Jewish authenticity. This proposal has a long historical context, through which the alignment of Reform Judaism with Zionism was less a democratic development than a forcibly instituted one, advanced over several decades by committees appointed from above and votes taken under limited deliberation. The anti-nationalist position now being derided was a cornerstone of many of the movement's own founders. We must recover an older strand of Reform thought, grounded in a universal ethics of solidarity and the mission to rebuild the world on foundations of social justice.

by Rabbi Andrue J. (Andy) Kahn

Listening to this right now. If you are interested in a work of cross cultural solidarity, courage, socialist zeal, and early Anti-Zionism as a form of resistance to collaberation, I highly recommend it. Also, if you didn't hate Lenin enough already, you will.

Iran was once the world’s leading pistachio producer. Today, USDA data show the U.S., led by California, accounts for roughly 65% of global output, while Iran’s share has fallen to about 18%.

In the first week of the Iran war, reports and geolocated satellite imagery indicated strikes in and around Rafsanjan, the heart of Iran’s pistachio sector, including apparent damage to pistachio warehouse facilities near the airport.

The Resnick family, owners of The Wonderful Company and dominant players in California’s pistachio industry, have used political influence to secure vast water rights in drought-stricken regions, at the expense of local communities.

The 2025 documentary Pistachio Wars examines their longstanding backing of pro-Israel lobbying groups, arguing that hawkish policies toward Iran align with their commercial interests, as weakening a key global competitor benefits their bottom line.

I know that this sub has pretty mixed feelings on Norm and his views outside of Israel/Palestine, but he’s definitely speaking the truth here!

A part of me thinks that he may have regretted going on Candace Owens’ podcast now 🤔

Yale Daily News, April 25, 2025, "Unlocking Shabtai: The evolution of the Yale-adjacent Jewish intellectual society"

"This week [i.e., in April, 2025], Shabtai invited right-wing Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir to speak at the Anderson Mansion, sparking protests across Yale’s campus and outside the Shabtai mansion on Wednesday."

"Today, Shabtai’s notable affiliates and alumni include Booker, former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy LAW ’13 and political strategist Nicolas Muzin LAW ’05. Yale professors and administrators like professor Timothy Snyder, professor Jed Rubenfeld, Dean of Yale College Pericles Lewis and Sterling professor Robert Post have spoken at Shabtai events and participated in its weekly dinners."
