The Top 5 Things You Can Do
Too often, we make the conversation about ourselves — Jewish history, Jewish identity, Jewish contributions. But the problem isn’t us. The problem is antizionism. Use the word antizionism. Antizionism is not “criticism” or “bias." Antizionism is not a misunderstanding. Antizionism an organized hate movement that seeks to eliminate Israel, and stigmatize and purge anyone who cares about Israel, especially Israelis and Jews, from public life.
Language reflects meaning. Writing “anti-Zionism” implies opposition to a particular policy— like being anti-tax. But antizionism, like antisemitism, is not a reasoned policy position. It’s an ideological campaign with roots, history, and eliminationist intent. Use the word without the hyphen to reflect what it actually is: a coherent, hostile force.
The core tactic of antizionism isn’t debate — it’s defamation. From foundational libels to flashpoint libels, antizionist messaging isn’t a collection of bad takes. It’s narrative violence. Don’t just correct the facts. Say the word "libel" and expose the intent behind the narratives.
Antizionism isn’t new and it didn’t start on social media. It’s the product of a long ideological convergence — Nazi propaganda, Soviet disinformation, and Islamist martyrdom cults — updated and adapted across generations. Today’s slogans carry that legacy. If people knew the story they were stepping into, some would stop. Show them.
Antizionism isn’t a series of isolated incidents. It’s a hate movement embedded in institutions — media, academia, nonprofits, culture, and education. Treat it like a structural problem, not a string of accidents. The goal isn’t just to challenge individuals or events, but to expose the narrative machine that drives them.
