You believe in promoting a more equitable and just solution for Palestinians and Israelis, without prioritizing the establishment of a Jewish state.
Anti-Zionism is a political ideology that opposes Zionism, the movement that supports the establishment of a Jewish state in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel. Anti-Zionists argue against the existence of the State of Israel, viewing it as illegitimate or inherently discriminatory. They believe that the creation of Israel resulted in the displacement and suffering of Palestinians, and they advocate for the rights of these displaced people.
The roots of anti-Zionism can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Zionism itself was emerging as a…

What personal experiences have led you to value (or question) the solidarity within your community?
@9KCLVPG2mos2MO
I think the only personal experience I've ever had is boycotting certain brands who were with Israel and obviously having to take off Beyonce off of my playlists because I don't want to support a genocide as best as I can. However, the there are definitely other factors in what makes me question how genuine our government is and biased our law making system is in the presence of Israel's influence of wanting to take land away from Palestinians. The other factors being how forms of protest for the genocide is very silencing with news outlets and social media, using distractions… Read more

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How important do you believe it is to preserve the cultural and historical narratives of all ethnic groups within a nation?
@9L353KM1mo1MO
Very important even without anti-Zionism culture and historical events are very important.
@9L352KN1mo1MO
Very important, culture and history is the root of countries, cities, and states
@9L34JLZ1mo1MO
Live and let live. All beliefs have a place right or wrong. No one group should be eliminated and we need to recognize states as they become prominent. They also need to respect other states.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What role should the narrative of the less powerful play when the world discusses territory and sovereignty?
@9L353KM1mo1MO
A big one because if there are more less power people there can be more opinions on a matter like this.
Discussions should be equal and fair, relegated by a neutral third party.
@9L34JLZ1mo1MO
Israel needs to be considered sovereign but also need to consider other groups as sovereign as well.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Have you ever had to stand up for someone being treated unfairly—how does that shape your views on statehood and sovereignty?
@9JSJJGR3mos3MO
I have, I think that racism and the boatload of other race/sex/religion negative things today are still present and it's something we as a society need to work on
@9JSJ98F3mos3MO
i hate israel vs palestine like NORMAL PEOPLE nEED TO STOP ThiS
@9JSKX643mos3MO
It sucks being treated unfairly and nobody should have to deal with it, it makes me want to help.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you suggest we educate others on the complex issues surrounding nationhood and cultural identity?
@9HTMFYP4mos4MO
To teach others about complex issues like nationhood and cultural identity, we can use stories and examples, talk with others and listen to their ideas, use videos, podcasts, and articles, and start with the basics. This will help people better understand these topics so that they can think about them carefully and form their own opinions.
@9HTBBBH4mos4MO
teach them from a young age when they understand whats going on
@9HT9WT34mos4MO
I feel like we should teach from a young age, maybe 10 or 11, about the different cultures we may see in our world.
@9HT53BQ4mos4MO
Show all the facts. Present equal amounts of time hearing from opposing sides. Do your own research, for some people they don’t care or know about their own culture or how or who to identify with.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What emotional impact does hearing about forced migrations and loss of homeland have on your views on international policies?
@9KZCW6V1mo1MO
We should sympathize, but recognize that our national security is still a more important issue and make our decisions with that in mind
@9KZ78SQ 1mo1MO
It is a very saddening situation in general. I believe no one should ever take it upon themselves to place themselves into a land and try to dictate how the people who were already there live, especially when they do it through extreme acts of violence.
@9KZ74YQIndependent1mo1MO
We must respect the independence of other nations and cannot be swept in to their affairs, no matter how evil or dire it may be
@9KZ74WN1mo1MO
We should sympathize, but not bend our knees to them.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you balance one group's quest for a homeland with the rights and homes of another?
@9HFQS295mos5MO
Someones right to a home should not be fulfilled if it requires them to remove another group of people from there home with force. Palestine should continue to own there land and Zionists should be placed in a less conflicting area.
Any country or nation should not be allowed and supported to kill off a whole race of people for a "homeland" no matter what
@9HFRM5F5mos5MO
In terms of Israel and Palestine, Israel should dismantle any existing settlements in the occupied West Bank, withdraw from Gaza, return to pre-1967 borders, and recognize the State of Palestine. In return, the Palestinian authority and the Arab League will recognize the State of Israel.
@9HFRGJ85mos5MO
Jewish people were moved into the Middle East, and we cannot change that, but we cannot prevent them from fighting back when attacked. While civilians are getting injured, there is not much Israel can do to avoid this
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you feel if someone took over your home to create a state for themselves?
@9H3R3D6Peace and Freedom5mos5MO
I would feel angry and violated, I would most definitely fight back.
@9H4MQT75mos5MO
I wouldn't let them that's why I have guns and other weapons in my house so that I can protect myself from people like that. They won't like me when they threaten me.
@9H3M6DC5mos5MO
I would feel like I was treated unfairly. This isn't fair.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Why do you think dialogue between opposing groups often fails, and how could it be improved?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How can people from divergent backgrounds come together to shape a shared future without erasing their distinct pasts?
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
What does 'home' mean to you, and how would that definition change if you were forced to leave it behind?
@9CJ6CB61mo1MO
My family has been in the military for years. When I was a kid, we moved once in a while, and I considered every new place I moved to to be “home”.
@9L749X71mo1MO
home to me is were I lay my head at night. If I was forced out of my house, I would just find another and move on.
@9L748F81mo1MO
Home to me is not just the place you feel most comfortable but the people you feel most comfortable and safe with.
