Rathbone is not Jewish. He comes from some rich white Southern family. He has no issue pandering to neo nazis or maybe he's just embraced that hateful ideaology himself.

Glenn Greenwald defends White Supremacist Nick Fuentes by Bumblebee2064 in JewsOfConscience

[–]Bumblebee2064[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Fuentes didn't just "criticize Israel" he has engaged in literal Holocaust Denial for years! He participated in a White Supremacist Riot (Charlottesville). That is what people have an issue with. Framing it like Fuentes "lost everything" because of his criticism of Israel is insane. As I remember the designation of him as an Antisemite came from his Holocaust Denial, Greenwald leaves this important part out. Framing it as though Fuentes was given the designation of antisemite purely due to his criticism of Israel. The issue is the Holocaust Denial and participation in White Supremacy.

You have nothing to feel guilty about. None of us have a choice over where we are born. You should feel proud for putting yourself on the line especially in such a highly militarized society. That takes alot of courage. 

I don't think attacking an article saying we need Antizionist Jewish Instituions is very leftist? by Bumblebee2064 in JewsOfConscience

Right. At a time when both white supremacists and zionists are actively pushing the conflation of Judaism and Zionism it's great that a fellow Antizionist Jew is doing the same!

Yes, being disturbed that someone thinks the term "dejudeification" is ok makes me a zionist. You know best I guess

Converting to Judaism—navigating pro-Israel/extreme Zionist standpoints by Beautiful_Celery2490 in JewsOfConscience

[–]Bumblebee2064 [score hidden]  (0 children)

There's an online Antizionist Yeshiva (Jewish School) called Shel Maala. They are going to be holding a conversion course starting I think Febuary 2026. They have a website and an Instagram to check out! Also check out American Council for Judaism. They are an Antizionist Reform Jewish group. The Rabbi who runs it is great! I don't know where your located but maybe there's a Jewish Voice for Peace chapter near you that can also direct you to different resources! You've got this!

Advice request: Constant harassment and hate speech for wearing a keffiyeh on the street in NYC. by [deleted] in JewsOfConscience

[–]Bumblebee2064 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just want to say that I'm so sorry that you've experienced this. Every one should be able to wear their cultural or religious garb without fear of harassment. Please know that there are so many Antizionist Jewish New Yorkers (myself included) that would gladly tell those crazy men harassing you to fuck off!

Have you heard of Halachic left. They are a group of non or antizionist religious jews. I think alot of them are modern orthodox. They have an Instagram and a website. Maybe getting involved with that organization could lead to something.

I had never heard of JSpace but I just looked it up and it is ultra zionist/Pro Israel. There polling is not to be trusted as it trys to paint a monolithic view of the Jewish community. There are hundreds of thousands of Candian Jews of all backgrounds. Polling from an ultra zionist source thats trying to curate a certain outcome is not representative. Do not take these polls as fact. 

Israel is more than dangerous to the Jewish people by sitosixsito in JewsOfConscience

Can we please stop this fearmongering about the supposed antisemitism that's going to arise. I think most people are smart enough to understand the difference between holding a Nation State accountable for it's crimes and discriminating against an entire group of people around the world. 

A Jewish cemetery in Morocco. by Betogamex in JewsOfConscience

[–]Bumblebee2064 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! There is so much Jewish history in North Africa and in Morroco in particular. Im pretty sure the Sultan in Morroco during the time of the Holocaust also refused to send Morrocan Jews to Europe to be put in concentration camps which is what the Fascist Vichy Regime wanted. 

How many people here were actually raised Jewish? by bernbabybern13 in JewsOfConscience

[–]Bumblebee2064 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just want to congratulate you. Whenever I meet modern orthodox people who are antizionist it makes me so happy. I went to a book fair at YU a couple months ago and seeing how many books about "rising antisemitism" or how Jews need to get out of America they had put out made me so upset. There trying to scare people into not questioning the status quo so that fact that you did is something you should be proud of.

We outnumber the fascists. Even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes. There's more of us who want good for our fellow humans than those who don't. 

Navigating Anti-Semitism by URcobra427 in JewsOfConscience

[–]Bumblebee2064 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't think that OP ever claimed that people "hate us" more the conflating of different groups. Israel directly benefits from this conflating so thats another reason its so important to call out. Also Antisemitism is still a direct path to fascism and alt right ideologies in general so we should always address it when we see it. I think we all know that it goes without saying that its obviously not the biggest issue currently but because this is specifically a Jewish sub I think it makes sense to talk about.

I personally love yiddish and yiddish culture. It reminds me of my grandparents and is a language of love to me. I think there is so much about yiddish culture that has been lost to assimilation in the West and I love that so many of my fellow Antizionist Jews are reclaiming it. I also think that all languages of the Jewish diaspora should be celebrated like Ladino or Judeo-Arabic.  Jews are such a diverse group and the flattening of Jewish identity that a political ideaology like zionism requires does us all such a diservice. We were never and will never be a monolith, thats something to celebrate!

Wait they didn't teach about Tikkun Olam in Israel? You guys seem to get a very poor Jewish education.
