We need to talk about Zionism

In the coverage of Israel-Palestine in the Western media, an ideology that is central to the story – Zionism – rarely gets discussed.

Instead, we hear a debate about whether opposition to it – anti-Zionism – is anti-Semitic. Aljazeera’s Daniel Turi reports on Zionism, the confusion that surrounds it and what it tells us about the world’s longest-running occupation.

Jewish anti-Zionism in the US: An interview with Simone Zimmerman

Anti-Zionist Jews have formed a key part of the protests across the US against Israel’s war on Gaza. Given the importance of US support for Israel, it is 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.

The English Parliament should have sent the Jews to British Guinea in the South American continent, where there were no Palestininans!
