I know your average zionist doesn't speak for the religion but it feels like they've been working overtime to equate their political ideology and national project to their religion. It's a mental mindfuck that makes me question myself if I'M the one being an antisemite when I call out the IDF for butchering children or settlers for running pogroms on Palestinians. Fucking pissrael and it's hasbara propaganda has now moved public opinion so much that taking a stance against bombing hospitals is akin to being a bigot.

::: spoiler sad vent

makes me feel for any anti-Zionist Jews,

Hi. It sucks. I feel evicted from my culture, from my (incredibly complicated and antigod esque) faith, my traditions, and more. It sucks. It feels so utterly alone, specifically in the faith and tradition aspect. I cannot find an anti-zionist shul. And for a while i lived in a city that had very very few jews before the holocaust let alone after, and I just felt so fucking alone. Now im somewhere with many more of us, but even then i have to do a whole social dance to see if theyre zionists or unopposed to zionism, and somehow it makes me feel even more alone than before. At least before i was alone by virtue of there being no one (not quite true, but effectively no one). Now im alone by virtue of self seclusion or direct exclusion.

And being trans, finding simultaneously such joy and such pain in judaism as it relates to my experience of transness. But i dont have the ability to engage at all. Zionism has destroyed that for me. My family? The practicing ones are either zionists or not opposed to zionism. The non-practicing left our traditions with a vehement condmenation of judaism (which, fair. We are descended from hasidim, and my mother described her parents as "the most orthodox jews to attend a reform shul").

Anyway, sad rambly vent over
