Zionism has '‘emptied'’ out Judaism as ‘'critical mass'’ of US Jews breaks with Israel

Opposition to Israel is hardening into anti-Zionism among a growing number of US Jews, according to Jewish Currents editor Arielle Angel. Speaking to Haaretz, Angel said that a “critical mass” of American Jews is now “disgusted with Israel” and no longer sees Zionism as central to Jewish life.

Hawzah News Agency- Angel went on to claim that attachment to Israel among this section of American Jewry is “waning, if not evaporated”.

Angel, who defines herself as anti-Zionist, said the shift goes far beyond criticism of Israeli policy. She described a growing constituency of Jews in the US who see Israel as an apartheid state, believe it is committing genocide.

Angel said this emerging current is not simply disillusioned but explicitly anti-Zionist. “The numbers are high, and these people don’t have anywhere to go''.

She stressed that there is “no institutional base for this growing population” as more Jews break with Zionism and search for a different political and spiritual home.

The rupture between Israel and American Jews and has been sharpened by Israel’s genocide on Gaza and by the role of mainstream Jewish organisations in defending it.
