How to Support Palestine Without Being Antisemitic
Resources & More
Here's how (in my opinion)
To show the greatest support for Palestine without being antisemitic, you must become aware of what Zionism is and the history behind the movement toward Israel first. One must also be aware of this history’s relationship with America today during the Trump administration.

This article brilliantly explains how “the rise of European fascism not only created a massive impetus for immigration to Palestine, it also, in the eyes of many Zionists, legitimized the ethnic cleansing of Arabs. The most right-wing strands of Zionism embraced ideas of racial purity as their own.”
From the firsthand Jewish perspective, Phyllis Bennis explains what it was like to question Zionism as a young child, and Jewish children today. She also demonstrates how Trump’s order being ironically anti-Semitic itself. “Jews come in all races, colors and ethnicities. The Trump/Kushner view is an insidious way of claiming that Jews are all somehow linked to or accountable to Israel. That charge of 'dual loyalty' is one of the oldest anti-Semitic canards around.”
We must criticize the illegal occupation of land, the apartheid, the ethnic cleansing, and the atrocities of the government that enforce these atrocities. We must criticize IDF for not wanting to be peaceful and come to an agreement with Palestine.
To not be anti semitic, we must support the right for ALL to live peacefully on Holy Land.
