Systemic Antizionism

Antizionism is not a fringe belief. It is a systemic force — embedded, incentivized, and increasingly institutionalized across the cultural, academic, and political landscape. It moves not only through mobs or manifestos, but through course curricula, publishing trends, funding structures, hiring decisions, and editorial choices. It is taught in classrooms, echoed in headlines, awarded in art galleries, and normalized in activist circles. In many spaces, rejecting “Zionism” has become not a political opinion but a moral prerequisite.

This diffusion is strategic. By embedding itself in universities, media, NGOs, cultural production, and youth organizing, antizionism cultivates moral legitimacy while evading scrutiny. It builds coalitions not around truth, but around a shared fantasy of Jewish villainy — rendering support for Jewish sovereignty as taboo, and Jewish self-defense as aggression. This is not accidental. It is the architecture of systemic animus: decentralized, reputationally protected, and woven into the language of justice. Antizionism now functions not as one view among many, but as the gravitational center of many institutions — with those who dissent marked as suspect, unhirable, or unsafe.
