One day you will realize Zionism is a vacant colonialist ideology dedicated to dehumanizing Palestinians and that actions like the ADL stem from that. Good luck on your journey.
It's actually pretty weird and not related to Zionism per se that the US has an overly-entangled relationship with a client state and is treating critics of that state as enemy aliens. Zionism can be bad, but this is on us!
Because it isn't? Zionism encompasses a pretty broad variety of ideologies. Many of the first critics of the nascent Israeli state were Zionists- they just wouldn't be considered that today because anything that isn't Likudism or borderline Kahanism gets you accused of antisemitism.
Non-Zionist Jew here, I hope this can help you re-evaluate your commitment to Zionism and the kind of system it is part of and enforcement that system needs to persist. Please get into conversation with people outside blindly Zionist circles, there’s no path to peace through the radicalized folks
"Zionists" believe in "the Jewish right to invade Palestine and reclaim their ancestral homeland." Anyone who self-declares they are "Zionist" supports the genocide of the Palestinians
I mean, he did call himself a Zionist. He doesn’t understand that those protestors were out there protesting for his rights and safety. I just can’t understand how anyone saw what was happening to those protestors and didn’t think ‘I might be next.’ Because I sure as hell did.
Also the group they're quote-tweeting is ad hoc bunch of deranged alumni formed post-Oct 7 to suppress protest at Columbia. Period. Sample tweet on left, their mention today in NYT, which refuses to identify exactly what this group is, on right.
I would push back on them being a group they don’t list any members and just tweet anonymously. There’s no reason to believe it’s not just Shy David or and IDF phone bank
can't help but feel when you have groups specifically with the word "Jewish" in their names cheering on these kinds of injustices that it'll lead to more people being antisemitic.
"Restore order to our campuses and country" by rounding up protesters and detaining them without charges or trial...this all sounds so familiar, where have I seen it before....🤔🤔🤔

History has shown that the survival of Jews will rely on full, fair and equal protection, application and enforcement of the law for all.
This is bullshit.
"Israel is the only safe place for Jews" isn't a lamentation, it's an aspiration for them. They want Jews afraid and fleeing into their borders.
The Zionist current of today’s ADL was a development of the decades that followed the founding.
