One of my childhood friends who like me, was raised as a Zionist just rejected Israel Outdoor's birthright trip offer. We had stopped talking these last few months and she called to apologize and tell me she's not going in May because she's been wrestling with how to reconcile her faith with what Israel is doing. We stopped talking because she couldn't understand why I would do that and now she has come to this conclusion on her own.
This is such a big deal and such a big win for me and I wanted to share this because everyone should know that views can shift. It's definitely not easy and definitely not because of just me but it's possible.
Don't stop talking about Palestine. Don't stop spreading facts about Israel's violent occupation of Palestine.
Btw Israel Outdoors is absolutely disgusting. If you don't know, they recruit college kids on campus to go do birthright trips. They're huge Zionists who openly support the occupation and genocide.
She said one of the major turning points for her was watching Marione Ingram, a Holocaust survivor, get verbally assaulted by Zionists for saying that the people of Gaza are being genocided. And she was also shocked at the ADL defending Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute.
Zionism is antisemitism. Zionists will literally attack holocaust survivors (who have first hand experienced what the Palestinians are going through right now btw) just to defend their ethnostate
