Why Many Jews Hate Zionism: The Long History of Jewish Anti-Zionism | Benjamin Moser

Watch this video on YouTube

They are lying to you: Zionism has NOTHING to do with Judaism. It's a protestant British idea and used as much against the jews as it is used against Palestinians. Benjamin Moser joins Pascal Lottaz to discuss Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History and the diverse Jewish thinkers who opposed Zionism. Moving from rabbis and British politicians to Arab Jewish scholars and contemporary artists, Moser explores religious objections, nationalism, antisemitism, and the promise of safety. They examine settler colonialism, minority rights, Western support for Israel, and changing public opinion. Moser argues that understanding today’s violence requires looking beyond individual leaders to the ideology and historical structures that shaped the Israeli state itself.
