Some fellow Jews may be wondering why I’ve launched a publication that’ll heap criticism on, among other things, Zionism: an ethno-nationalist-political movement I once supported.
I understand what you are saying.A Jewish aquaintance of mine woke me up to the meaning of Zionism.I am grateful he was Jewish and I appreciate Jewish voices that join us in advocating for Palestinians' rights denied them by Israeli government and most Israeli Jews.I have Israeli friends who risk a lot in working towards mitigating the cruelty of zionism.Some have left Israel because do not want to a part of a country that denies basic humnan rights to non Jews in Palestine.
I appreciate your efforts here and on fb.to reject bigotry and cruelty and show what being Jewish is and It is not Zionism.
Great first piece Robert!! Thank you for a deeper insight into a 'Jewish' perspective. Your experience and words hold a lot of weight. I look forward to following every post to broaden my own understanding and build on my own experiences on the subject/situation in Palestine - Israel. <3
So glad you started The Progressive Jew and look forward to reading more of your publication. 😄👏👏
Thankyou Robertvthis is a conversation thats long overdue, thankyou for starting it.
Excellent beginning to what I hope will be a beautiful journey.

Robert, this is so from the heart, anyone reading has to at least consider the injustices that Zionism has perpetrated on Israel's own citizens.
Great start. Looking forward to the next chapter in what I too always thougth was a critical country and now cannot agree with their politics.
Robert, it was great meeting you last night at the quinceañera! Fantastic Substack!
Thanks for doing this. We both know how important it is for Jews, especially "recovered Zionists", to speak out!

Fantastic Robert. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad you did and I'm glad I've found you.
