Every antisemitic regime has always had its Jewish adherents. They ignore the invariable message from history that they are Jews too in the end. The Association Of National German Jews supported Hitler until they were killed. The Yevsektsiya gleefully destroyed all Jewish institutions of Russia until they were purged themselves.
I think that the difficulty some are having with your research is that there are members of these organizations that are neither antizionist nor antisemitic. They are just far left wing Jews, who ally themselves with that dwindling minority in Israel.
Most members of New Israel Fund and Jspace are not the same as Independent Jewish voices, Not in our Name or Jewish Voices for Peace. Those are clearly antisemitic. However, when these left-wing Jews support BDS the consequences are no different.
Keep pointing out our enemies, including those within our midst.
I think you are totally on point. While we are at war, we don't have the luxury to care about their motives and misconceptions, need to focus on real world consequences for now.
PS: I'm embarrassed to admit, I was born in the USSR, but I've never heard of Yevsektsiya, reading about it now, thank you for sharing!
There is nothing wrong with being a Jew who is critical of Zionism.
It’s just that the < 10% don’t outweigh the more than 90%.
At the end of the day the Free Palestine movement proved that they want to, “Globalize the Intifada”, which is attacking Jews everywhere in the world. So this last year and a half has proven that Israel is absolutely necessary to protect Jews from antisemites.
Supporting BDS and arms embargo is not just being "critical of Zionism" (just like calling for Intifada isn't "just criticizing the Israeli government", like the freePalestine folks like to claim).
Masha, you always share exemplary articles. Are you able to share who it was that suggested you are thwarting unity? We have every right to know who the bad players are. Sad that there are so many of them and worse yet when they are consulted for media as the voice of Jewish people.
What amazing research and clarity. Thank you for this! I used to - or hoped - it was naivete or maybe trauma - that led to this but after so much damage (tokenization, etc.) I am angry.
Unity shmunity. This is excellent work. Shine the light on all of it. It shouldn't bother them, correct?
Unity is the punchline to my favorite Jewish joke 😵💫
So many infiltrations of erev rav at so many levels

Excellent.
And by the way - “what is your proof of that?” Is the standard answer when you make them feel uncomfortable.
I have come across that and when you send them proof they always say its not relevant.
Keep up your great work.
Thank you!

Some are well meaning people who just don't like facing the unpleasant reality and prefer the unity mantra.
Also the "players" themselves, who consider themselves good players, but for whatever reason don't like their activism being exposed...
Thank you for your support!
