Advice on “Anti-Semitism”
Is Anti-Zionism and criticism of Israeli policies really acts of anti-semitism? According to several Rabbis, it’s not the case. Google Rabbis Dovid Feldman, Yaakov Shapiro, or Elhanen Beck. For good measure try scholar Richard Forer an ex AIPAC member who changed his outlook completely. It explains why we see pictures of Ultra Orthodox men being beaten for not wanting to join the Israeli Army, and seeing them carrying Palestinian flags at various demonstrations here as well. They see modern Israel as a nationalist creation that is hijacking a noble religious tradition in order to justify their behavior towards the inhabitants who they see as in their way. These folks offer a needed narrative that definitely goes against the general consensus we are usually presented with. They offer valuable advice to enable us to exist together going forward. It’s a small planet and an alternative one isn’t readily available.
