"The irony of becoming what you once hated"

A rabbi and his son received probation and fines for vandalizing a mural that depicted an intertwined Star of David and swastika, with a judge emphasizing that the destruction of property, not the content, was the issue.

[2024] Jewish Voice for Peace Milwaukee addressed the controversy stating that organization views the mural as a provocative piece intended to spark urgent conversation about the ongoing situation in Israel-Palestine, which they describe as a "well-documented genocide in modern history" funded by U.S. tax dollars. They conclude by stating that Zionism promotes racist Jewish nationalism, which they reject, and that criticizing existing Jewish institutions for espousing revisionist narratives or endorsing genocidal rhetoric does not constitute antisemitism.

"The #GinoGermaniInstitute of #SocialSciences and #StrategicStudies, an #Italian think tank based in #Rome and focused on countering #disinformation, has presented its 2026 research paper, “#Antisemitism and #Russian Active Measures from the #Tsars to #Putin,” authored by researcher #MassimilianoDePasquale.

The study, which traces developments from the era of the tsars through the #Soviet period to the present day, argues that Russian antisemitism is not merely a relic of the past but an active component of contemporary hybrid warfare. Through the use of trolls, bots and compliant media outlets, #Moscow is said to stoke antisemitism across the Western world – on the right (via #whitesupremacism) and on the left (via radical #antiZionism) – with the sole aim of eroding the social fabric of liberal #democracies."

‘Monster Raving’ Tony Greenstein Welcomed into the Green Party.

“The JC understands that Greenstein attended a pre-conference workshop organised by Greens for Palestine about the antizionist motion due to be debated this weekend.

His attendance at the online meeting has fuelled fears that the party is becoming a magnet for those expelled from Labour during the height of its antisemitism crisis.”

“Now Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL), the far-left campaign group formerly known as Jewish Voice for Labour is urging its supporters to join the Jewish Greens in order to reshape its direction.

In a message to members, JVL said: “Jewish Greens are at present controlled by a group of ‘Liberal’ Zionists.”

“If you are a Jewish member of the Greens please consider joining them so we can move the group in the progressive antizionist direction.”

Some background (there’s a lot more on tea-leafing and harassment which one could add).

“Greenstein was barred from joining the Labour Party in 2015 and then joined following the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader.[11] He was suspended in 2016 regarding accusations of antisemitism and then expelled in February 2018 after a review by Labour’s National Constitutional Committee.[12] In 2019, Greenstein sued the Campaign Against Antisemitism for libel over its claim that he was a “notorious antisemite”.[13] The High Court dismissed the claim in 2020.[14] Greenstein had previously co-founded Labour Against the Witchhunt and told a Jewish Voice for Labour meeting during the 2018 Labour Party Conference that charges of antisemitism in the UK Labour Party were designed to destabilise Corbyn.[15]

In December 2021 Greenstein accepted a two-year restraining order in return for the Crown Prosecution Service dropping two charges of harassment against the Labour party’s disputes team. The restraint order prevented him from further contacting the disputes team.[16][17] “

Arielle Angel, 41, is editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents magazine. Her mother's family were Arab Jews from Haifa while her father's family were Ladino-speaking Holocaust survivors from Salonika; her grandmother survived 20 months in Auschwitz. She grew up in Miami in a "very Zionist" home, Israel flag at school, March of the Living in Poland, summer camps, where she learned to speak about Israel in first person: "We did."

Since becoming editor in 2018 at age33, she has transformed the dormant magazine into a platform for American Jews seeking alternatives to Zionism. For many of its 10,000 print subscribers (and approximately 2.5 million annual visitors to its digital version), it represents a community center and critical space for discussion of American-Jewish-leftist identity that is trying to reinvent itself.

She now defines herself as anti-Zionist and says she may never return to Israel despite family there. She draws on doikayt - "here-ness" in Yiddish - the Bundist concept of building Jewish life where you are rather than orienting toward Israel.

On separation from Israel:

"Something happened that cannot be simply rationalized or turned back. Israelis committed genocide. That needs to be accepted. Truth and reconciliation are needed. And until then, I feel my work is to encourage separation. I think it's also good for Israel. If we agree that the conditions for internal change don't exist, we must believe in some form of public pressure. And public pressure from world Jewry can have an impact."

On Zionism emptying Judaism:

"It's so strange to claim that Israel is still the heart of our Judaism only in negative. In the Judaism of American Zionists there is nothing but Zionism. Zionism itself is what emptied Judaism of content. Not alone, of course—there was a whole history here. The truth is that for most non-observant Israelis it's the same thing. So the problem of the American Jewish left is not exceptional."

On the need for new institutions:

"If we aspire to weaken Zionism within Jewish communities, we'll need to develop a robust vision for contemporary Judaism; to meet those who want to extricate themselves from the rot with something beautiful and true in our hands," she wrote. "We cannot ask them to jump and refuse to catch them."

On whether Jews bear responsibility for consequences of Israel's actions:

"Israel changed the status of Jews in the entire world. We are experiencing more violence because of Israel's claim that we are its agents... When foreign governments console Netanyahu for Jews murdered in Sydney, that endangers us."
