This piece has been rotting in my art folder for months now and I finally figured out how I Wanted to color/render Dinraal.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! ✡︎ 🪬 I made one of these a few years ago, and it was well loved, and I felt it was a good time to make another. In the past year or so I’ve watched the rapid decline of the success of openly Jewish stories and authors in the publishing world. And I understand that it’s because of the rise of Zionism, which has made people (unfortunately) more cautious and more openly hateful towards Jews, and has made Judaism less “trendy” in the market. and as an anti-Zionist Jew myself, I know it makes it all the more important to loudly love Jewish stories and voices, especially as Zionism relies so heavily on antisemitism. To create safe and loving spaces for Jews IS to combat Zionism. So here are some books by (anti-Zionist or non-Zionist) Jewish authors to loudly and proudly love this month and always. things to note: 1. Despite it being Jewish AMERICAN Heritage Month, not all of these authors are American. As a Jewish American living in the UK and seeing the treatment of Jews on both sides the pond, I’ve decided to include authors regardless of location. 2. This is NOT a complete list. I tried to prioritize books that I’ve read or come highly recommended and are on my TBR. I read primarily SFF and horror, so those genres are more represented here. There are also some authors who have to be cautious with stating their opinions publicly for personal safety reasons who I have left off here. Rest assured, I will never knowingly promote a Zionist author on my page. That being said, please leave more recommendations in the comments!!!! Or make your own post and share the love! 3. Not all of the authors have explicitly called themselves “anti-Zionist” but have at least expressed sentiments that make their stance against Zionist ideology clear and may consider themselves non-Zionist or otherwise. 4. If the author had multiple books, I chose their most Jewish one!! all of the books on the first page are explicitly Jewish fantasy, and much of the books throughout are Jewish as well.
