Zionism

[edit]

Within the last year, Jewish On Campus publicly stated that one of their core values is "zionism". They appear to have undergone a rebrand on their webpage, but a quick glance at any of their social media pages will make it clear that they are not only dedicated to fighting what they claim is antisemitism, but also to zionist advocacy.

Although many zionist/Israel-advocates claim that zionism/Israel is a core component of Jewish identity, and hold that anti-zionism or harsh criticism of Israel is a form of antisemitism, Wikipedia correctly identifies this as a form of Israel advocacy on pages such as StandWithUs, Anti-Defamation League, and others.

User ZobarZahavi has removed edits correctly linking Jewish On Campus with zionist/Israel-advocacy. Based on ZobarZahavi's edit history, it's probable that they're affiliated with Jewish On Campus, possibly through their prominent UVM chapter, and created this wiki as a means of curating Jewish On Campus' public image. Since ZobarZahavi likely has notifications on for edits made to this page, I would ask that they demonstrate that JOC is no longer involved with zionist or Israel-advocacy in 2025 before undoing my edits.

Instagram post from this year saying "Hanukkah is a Zionist holiday", which clearly goes beyond what this wikipedia page claimed was their sole mission of combating antisemitism: https://www.instagram.com/p/DD98Pdwxr9Y/?hl=en

Instagram post from this year decrying SJP for anti-Israel demonstrations, again clearly going beyond anti-antisemitism alone: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGQlld6Rkw3/?hl=en

Other examples abound, although most would be primary sources. Babeswayscaptcha (talk) 03:57, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
