Jews who follow the Torah have always opposed Zionism and the state of Israel because it goes against our beliefs. The creation of Israel involved occupying and oppressing another people, which violates human rights and international norms. It also contradicts Jewish beliefs. We stand in solidarity with the suffering people of Palestine and believe that everything Israel does to Palestinians goes against our religion. The only solution is a peaceful dismantlement of Israel, as there was peace in Palestine before its creation.

On Nakba Day, we want to clarify that the oppression against Palestinians is not in the name of Judaism or the Jewish people. As Jews, we oppose the existence of the Zionist state of Israel because it goes against our religious teachings. Judaism forbids us from having our own sovereignty and taking land from others. We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and hope for an end to the occupation. The Zionist movement is a political one, not a Jewish one, and it falsely accuses those who oppose it of being anti-Semitic. The occupation causes suffering for both Palestinians and Jews. We pray for the removal of the Zionist state so that Jews and Arabs can live together in harmony once again.

This message is for religious Jews from Jerusalem, Palestine, and around the world. True religious communities oppose the entire occupation by the State of Israel because it goes against our covenant with God. The state of Israel is a nationalist movement that started over 100 years ago, rebelling against God. They use Jewish symbols but are stealing Palestinian homes and disregarding the Torah's prohibition on Jewish sovereignty since the temple's destruction 2000 years ago. Our rabbis in Palestine support these facts.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist State of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the star of David. Judaism, as stated in the Torah, forbids Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. True followers of Judaism do not aspire to have our own state or take land from the Palestinians. This goes against the principles of my religion.

I was raised by my great grandmother, a Holocaust survivor who lost her entire extended family. She never supported the State of Israel because she believed it was wrong to inflict on others what was done to the Jewish people. She saw the state and the Zionists as becoming what they had once fought against. As a woman raised Jewish, it's unpopular for me to say this, but I no longer believe in the faith. However, the Jewish people are still my family.

This message is for religious Jews from Jerusalem, Palestine, and around the world. We, as religious communities, oppose the entire occupation of Israel, not just a two-state solution. Judaism is about being subservient to God, a covenant we made 3000 years ago. However, the state of Israel, which started over 100 years ago, is a nationalist movement that rebels against God. They use Jewish symbols but are stealing Palestinian homes and disregarding the Torah's prohibition on Jewish sovereignty since the temple's destruction 2000 years ago. Our rabbis in Palestine support this fact.

We used to live together peacefully, babysitting each other's children. We stand in support of the Palestinians and feel humiliated by the Zionist occupation. They have taken our religion and use it to intimidate and silence others. Speaking out against them is labeled as anti-Semitic, but religious communities continue to oppose them.

I am Rabbi Jacob Miller of Turcata International, a group of Jewish rabbis protesting the occupation in Gaza. Creating Israel by displacing others goes against Jewish law. Judaism is not the same as Zionism. Opposing Zionism is not anti-Semitic; it's about justice and peace. Jewish people worldwide seek a free Palestine, ceasefire, and end to occupation. We pray for peace in Palestine.

Terrorists attacked Israel, impacting Orthodox Christians deeply as Gaza is considered the holy land. The alliance between Israel and the United States raises concerns, especially given the perception of Jesus Christ by many in America. My church is filled with immigrants who were displaced from the Holy Land in 1948 and again two decades later. Jewish soldiers forcibly entered their homes, threatening them with violence if they remained.

Rabbi David Weiss strongly denounces the Zionist state of Israel, emphasizing that the oppression and cruelty against the Palestinian people are not in the name of Judaism or the Jewish people. He argues that Judaism forbids Jews from having their own sovereignty and entities, and that taking the land from the Palestinian people contradicts his religion. Rabbi Weiss asserts that Jews have always opposed the Zionist entity and stands in solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinian people. He criticizes the Zionist movement as a political material movement created by heretics, using religion to silence opposition. Rabbi Weiss believes that supporting the state of Israel actually exacerbates antisemitism.

Jews who adhere to the Torah oppose Zionism and the state of Israel as it contradicts their belief in a Jewish state. They view Israel's creation in 1948 as an occupation of another people's land, leading to oppression, killings, and land theft. This violates human rights and international norms, as well as the core principles of Jewish faith. We stand in solidarity with the suffering Palestinians, asserting that Israel's actions are illegitimate. The only solution, in our view, is a peaceful dismantlement of Israel, which we perceive as the obstacle to peace in Palestine. Prior to Israel's establishment, there was peace in the region.

A Jewish speaker opposes Zionism, stating that it is not anti-Semitism to be against it. They share personal experiences of facing backlash for their beliefs. They explain that Zionism is a movement that started 150 years ago by Jews who were not practicing their religion and wanted a homeland. However, Judaism forbids having their own state. They highlight the historical support and acceptance Jews received from Muslim countries. The speaker criticizes the Zionist movement for disregarding the rights of Palestinians and accuses them of using PR tactics and political pressure to silence opposition. They emphasize their belief in coexistence with Muslims and express empathy for Palestinian suffering.

We are deeply ashamed of the actions being carried out in Palestine in our name as Jews, in the name of the Torah, and in the name of God. We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Despite our weakness, we believe that God is on our side. Ultimately, we envision the Palestinian flag flying across all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.

I am here today to support the oppressed people and stand against the occupation. Israel, in my view, is a colonial apartheid genocidal state that does not represent Judaism. I was exploited when I was younger, living in Israel and learning the language. As I delved deeper, I realized the horror of this state exploiting our trauma from the Holocaust to oppress another people. They deserve the same rights as everyone else. I became aware of this in 2014 when I witnessed Israel's massacre in Gaza. Since then, I have separated my Jewish identity from this occupying fascist brutality. Today, I march with the Palestinians and support justice for all oppressed peoples. Thank you for speaking with me.

Judaism is a centuries-old religion, while Zionism is a newer movement that transformed religion into nationalism and materialism. Non-religious Jews who disliked Judaism created Zionism, initially considering Uganda as a location for a Jewish state. They used Jewish symbols and names to legitimize their existence and silence criticism by labeling it as anti-Semitic. However, this is far from the truth. Muslim countries, like Turkey, have historically been supportive of Jewish people. Zionism goes against the teachings of the Torah, which forbids Jews from having their own state. The creation of Israel in Palestine, a land already inhabited by Palestinians, contradicts the principles of compassion and non-violence. Many Jews, including rabbis, oppose Zionism and its actions.

Zionism aims to establish a Jewish state at the expense of the indigenous Palestinian population, privileging one group over another. This ideology denies Palestinians equal rights compared to Israelis. The distinction between events in 1948 and 1967 is misleading; at its core, Zionism involves the expulsion of Palestinians, resulting in millions of refugees, including my family. Between 1948 and 1967, Palestinians who were citizens of Israel lived under military rule. My family, originally from a town in Galilee, was ethnically cleansed in 1948 and has never been allowed to return, despite being citizens of Israel, and are classified as present absentees.

I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist. My parents fled Poland and settled in Britain. The current Israeli government manipulates guilt to justify mistreatment of Palestinians. They prioritize Jewish lives over Palestinian lives. Military force won't solve this issue. Even after the fighting ends, there will still be millions of Palestinians suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli government's conduct and policies are unacceptable. Our government should impose a complete arms ban on Israel. We need genuine peace, not conquest, which is the Israelis' unattainable goal. They are not just criminals, but also fools.

The speakers express their opposition to the Israeli army's treatment of Palestinians. They believe it represents Jewish supremacy and leads to oppression. They refuse to participate in this injustice and instead fight against it through activism. They discuss the recent conflict in Gaza, stating that the occupation and closure of Gaza contributed to it. They condemn the killing of civilians and argue that it does not bring security. They also express fear of the Israeli government, army, and police, as well as concern for Palestinians facing eviction and bombings. They emphasize the need for freedom for both Palestinians and Israelis.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist state of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the Star of David. Judaism and the Torah forbid Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. We are also forbidden from killing or stealing. Taking land away from the Palestinians goes against my religion and is completely contradictory.

As a Holocaust survivor, I initially believed in the Zionist dream of a Jewish state. However, I soon realized that achieving this dream involved oppressing and expelling the local Palestinian population. The Nakba, or catastrophe, was the foundation of Israel but is not acknowledged in the country. During my visit to the occupied territories, I witnessed the brutality of the occupation, including the denial of water rights and destruction of Palestinian olive groves. Palestinians are trapped in what is essentially an outdoor prison. Criticizing Israel does not make one an antisemite; it is about standing up for Palestinian rights and justice. The Western press often portrays Palestinians as terrorists while giving Israel less criticism. Israeli historians, professors, and soldiers have spoken out against Israeli policies, providing ample information for those willing to seek the truth. It is crucial for people of goodwill, regardless of their religious background, to challenge the silencing tactics and support justice, liberty, freedom, and truth.

I am a seventh-generation Palestinian and I remember a time when we had a great relationship with our Jewish neighbors. We would babysit each other's children and celebrate holidays together. The issue here is not religion, but rather the occupation and the violence that comes with it. Palestinians don't hate Jews, they hate the occupation. It doesn't matter if it's Jews, French, or English, the hate is directed towards the occupiers. This has nothing to do with antisemitism, it's about the occupation. We need to understand that the problem lies in the occupation, not the religion.

The speakers express their refusal to participate in the oppression of Palestinians by the Israeli army, which they view as the operational wing of Jewish supremacy. They condemn the ongoing genocide and occupation, attributing the recent conflict to the closure of Gaza and the Israeli government's actions. They reject the idea that killing civilians in Gaza will bring security. The speakers also express fear of the Israeli government's increasing fascism, suppression of anti-Zionists, and violent evictions in the West Bank. They emphasize the belief that Palestinians deserve freedom equal to Israelis.

We will not accept anyone who identifies as Jewish or a Christian Zionist. They are our enemy, and our community must recognize them as such.

I'm Alec, an anti-Zionist Jew living in Israel. I believe this state operates as an apartheid system, having ethnically cleansed and brutalized many people since its inception. The ongoing occupation and violence are necessary for its existence as a Jewish state, which I oppose. I see this identity as the root of our problems and long for a day when it is replaced with one that reflects freedom and equality for all citizens. Free Palestine, and please share this message.

A Jewish individual speaks out against Zionism, stating that it is not anti-Semitism to oppose it. They mention facing backlash and vandalism for their beliefs. They explain that Zionism is a movement that started 150 years ago by Jews who were disconnected from their religion and sought a homeland. However, Judaism forbids the establishment of a Jewish state, as Jews are meant to be loyal citizens in every country they reside. They highlight the historical support and acceptance Jews received from Muslim countries. They criticize the Zionist movement for disregarding the rights of Palestinians and accuse them of using PR tactics to silence opposition. They express solidarity with Palestinians and hope for a world that recognizes the truth.
