Jewish anti-Zionism in the US: An interview with Simone Zimmerman
Anti-Zionist Jews have formed a key part of the protests across the United States against Israel’s war on Gaza. Given the importance of US support for Israel, it’s a movement that could prove pivotal.
We hear from one of its leaders, Simone Zimmerman, whose own transition away from Zionism forms the core of the recent award-winning documentary, Israelism.

Stop making excuses for Israel and Never Forget the genocide of Palestine.
-
Shame on anyone who is colonizer !!!!!!!!!!
-
Anyone that calls anti zionisms anti semitism doesn’t understand either.
-
Israel didn’t count on their genocide waking up the world to their (Israel’s) sins. As a person with Jewish heritage, I was woefully ignorant of these sins. Now I am not.
-
Huge huge huge respect & thanks to SIMONE ZIMMERMAN for Honest talk. ❤️❤️❤️
-
Every ideology has a time and Zionism will end
-
Free Palestine

Now anti-zionism simply means pro-humanity and pro-justice. And, called as anti-semit by zionists is a badge of honor.
-
Great analysis - great to see young women like Simone Zimmerman stepping up and filling the leadership vacuum in US politics.
-
Anti-Zionism isn't anti-Semitism, it's anti-fascism.
-
Never forget the genocide of Palestinians.
-
The first antiZionists were Jewish. They never went away. I find it impossible to believe this isn’t known to the people, and particularly the organisations, conflating it with antisemitism. It’s incredibly cynical.
-
if antizionizm is the same as antisemitism, that'd mean that i'm antisemite as well. I truly believe, that no one should be allowed to steal land.

"The horror of the last months is a direct result of the impunity that has been granted to Israel by the United States, by the European Union including this state for failing to impose sanctions on a regime that has been guilty of ethnic cleansing of occupation of apartheid, of the siege of Gaza, of the systematic ongoing brutal murderous oppression of the Palestinian people for decades". Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett, Ireland YEAH!

💜 Simone Zimmerman 💜 She saved my life.

Ethnic cleansing was always the goal of the Zionists, even before the start of WWII: "There is no choice:the Arabs must make room for the Jews of Eretz Israel. If it was possible to transfer the Baltic peoples, it is also possible to move the Palestinian Arabs." - Ze'ev Jabotinsky 1938 -

I want to cry, but I will hold back, because I have been inspired by our beautiful sister, who has shown the world that we are all human beings. I am 64 , I don't think I will ever forget this single educative interview. Thanks my sister, may God shower you with many blessings.

"It should not have taken 7 months of a genocidal Massacre being inflicted on the people of Gaza with 35,000 people slaughtered, 15,000 children, Gaza destroyed and famine conditions imposed on the entire population of Gaza for us to get to this moment". Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett, Ireland YEAH!
