I have been blessed to be part of anti-Zionist Jewish communities around the world for over a decade. Zionist propaganda tells a story that being Jewish and being Zionist are the same, but the truth is there have always been Jews resisting Zionism, building solidarity with Palestinians, and shaping Jewish life around justice and freedom for all people.
This is an evolving compilation of organizations, communities, educational initiatives, prayer spaces, artistic projects, publications, and other resources from across the anti-Zionist Jewish landscape. I have not included individual educators or artists, of which there are many; this list focuses on the communal and collective structures that make up this landscape.
If I missed any, please feel welcome to comment and add to the list so we can hopefully one day replace the mainstream Zionist Jewish establishment and create a thriving Jewish world rooted in Anti-Zionism.
Of course, there are countless invaluable resources, organizations, and educational initiatives created by Palestinians, and it is essential to listen to and learn directly from Palestinian voices. I especially recommend Let’s Talk Palestine, which offers incredible educational content through its website and Instagram. This list is specifically dedicated to documenting the anti-Zionist Jewish world and making these communities, initiatives, and networks more visible and accessible.
