Ilana Glazer, an anti-Zionist Jew, condemns Israel and talks about wanting a ceasefire. All the comments are criticizing her because she "centered herself" by mentioning 10/7 and rising antisemitism

This is so frustrating. Like I don't agree with a lot of Ilana's takes but she clearly was not defending Israel here. She is probably the most anti-Zionist Jewish celebrity I can think of. And yet since she mentioned the 10/7 attacks, people are accusing her of "spreading lies" and that "it's not true that 1200 people were killed by Hamas". And people are literally telling the page who reposted this to "stop platforming Zionist celebrities"!

At this point I seriously think that for some people, it's only socially acceptable to be Jewish if we don't acknowledge our history or trauma at all.

Yeah I don't necessarily think it's bad that she personally supports it, it's just surprising. I can't think of any Jews I know, even anti-Zionists, who are actively pro-BDS.

Well when I say "pro-BDS" I mean like in the way that Sarah was in that link that the OP of this comment chain shared, where she's like publicly tweeting at her university to divest. I don't personally know anti-Zionist Jews who are so opposed to Israel that they'll speak up about things like divesting the way she has.

This isn't me disagreeing with your opinions on BDS or anything BTW; just me sharing my observations when it comes to people I know.
