Perhaps my biggest gripe with antizionist jews is that they seem to insist on identifying themselves as antizionist or otherwise politically "clean" before identifying themselves as jewish. I saw a video the other day of a woman talking about medieval jewish wedding rings and she opened with "I'm an anti-authoritarian jewish art historian". What could being anti-authoritarian possibly have to do with jewish wedding rings. It's not that I'm against being anti-authoritarian, but identifying your political views above your judaism always reads as marking yourself as "one of the good ones". It's like saying "nooooooooo don't harass me! Harass those other evil Jews who see an ounce of nuance in the situation".
#to be clear her bio also made her position on i/p abundantly clear#its not like im calling her antizionist with no basis.#she also had the hanukiah emoji before the magen david emoji in her bio which im just like....#hanukkah might be the most zionist jewish holiday if such a thing exists#also this is my first post on jumblr!
