nervous
man
C for me growing up I uh my connection
to Judaism was not a religious
connection but a ethnic connection and a
um sort of an ethnonationalist
Connection in terms of uh Israel was the
place that I would someday have to go
when you know the Nazis came back to
Power it was just kind of like you know
being told a lot that like one day this
you know disaster is going to be befall
the Jewish people in America and we're
all going to get to go to Israel um and
so Zionism was just kind of It kind of
supplanted any kind of religious
education uh for me it was just kind of
part of it it was just like you know you
were um it's funny because like the the
idea of the Dual loyalty Trope is always
like trotted out and I was I always kind
of felt like you know well you know
we're all Israeli like that was kind of
like the thing um and it wasn't until
you know I kind of started growing up
and went to college and that I started
kind of pushing back on this idea of it
and then kind of like started getting a
little bit creeped out by the um the
obsession uh with uh blood as it relates
to Jewish people thinking that of that
as kind of like a sort of race science
Nazi connection um you know this kind of
like ethnic right that we have as Jews
to you know have this land and I started
kind of like looking at all of the I
mean here's the thing when you grow up
in you
know uh around a lot of Jews which most
people don't um you know them to you
know be all kinds of people and one of
the types of people I knew a lot of
racists I knew a lot of people
are racist as they were just white
Americans essentially a lot of them um
and that included you know the kind of
like inter Jewish racism that you would
see uh you know um between white Jews
and Jews of color and you would see that
you know we're uh we're not um immune
from being kind of you know
we're we're just people right um and so
once I started kind of like being
deprogrammed uh and this was mostly
through you know it's not nothing
special at first it was just kind of
like going to college uh and just being
like Oh damn this seems like it's
up over there but I still kind of held
on to the idea of like you know well you
know everyone should just vote better
you know the idea of like if everyone
just like voted for the good guy then
you know then we could do a two-state
solution totally normal you know thing
to me this idea of like yeah no just we
should separate the ethnicities um and
then it wasn't until Birthright I went
on Birthright in uh 2012 12 uh when I
realized um how much the Zionist project
relied on Young American Jews in order
to push this uh this agenda birth right
is a program that's for Jews who have
never been to Israel at um at least you
can still go if you've been with your
family but they've never been like on
their own to Israel and it's a fully
paid for trip all sorts of different
trips right so there's there some of the
tlit trips are that's Birthright some of
the birthright trips are uh religious um
some of them are secular mine was mixed
Jews for the most part uh I and mixed
non-bar Mitzvah Jews right and so but
you can do one for non-jews too like I I
assume so I mean it is they're selling
you a time share essentially and I think
like the with the you know uh there's
got to be Christian Zionist groups
there's got to be all sorts right cuz
it's a sales it's a sales tool yeah um
and uh yeah for me it was all of these
like you know uh nonb mitzva Jews and um
it was like literally I had my I had my
bar mitzvah in Israel when one of the
tour guides just was like you're a man
now and gave us all like Hebrew names
and uh I was like I'm pretty sure
doesn't work like that when I went there
I realized uh how important this trip
was not for me but for them I realized
that it was this like um
really you know it was a hard sales
tactic it was like they were trying to
make sure that we went back and told
people what we saw there uh which was
you know basically what we saw was
Jewish Disneyland in which like I went
to a country in which they were singing
songs that I sang at like Jewish Day
Camp and I was
like well this is no
way this is a whole another country
you're telling me you made a whole
country out of day camp nuh-uh I
smell this is a red flag um and it was
like on the third night of it the
craziest was that um there was a
giant mega event a mega Birthright event
all the birthright trips in an arena and
uh they had all these like speakers and
rappers and whatnot the craziest thing
was the headlining speaker was Benjamin
Netanyahu um literally while he was
prime minister he he was he took time
out of his schedule to come talk to us
uh tell us that we um actually belonged
to Israel that that that was our home
and then told us to um he you know
number one he wanted us to uh make Aliah
but but if we didn't do that what he
wanted was for us to um be his own
personal hasbara Army and uh he wanted
us to go and tell he's like tell people
what you saw here and then he proceeded
to tell us what we saw
there you know you saw a land where you
know uh uh women can you know uh work at
jobs and Arabs are happy all the time
and tell them there is no wall there is
no occupation sleep um it was very I
mean it was just so clearly this
propaganda trip but I didn't know um
that in even in just going to this thing
that I was um number one going to be so
affected by it because I'll I'll admit I
left being like you know it is like kind
of
complicated um but I also left um with
this like gross feeling of like I am
basically being told you know as I think
every Jewish kid is told you know by
family and whatnot that it is our
responsibility to um stop the Liars from
spreading lies about Israel and and um
just kind of this gross feeling of like
feeling like I was uh a tool for this
ongoing you know the ongoing uh Zionist
project the you know greater Israel
project even and um yeah and then it
just like it just came to a point where
I was like n this this is uh this
is all this is all and wrong
and it's used to justify some of the
most atrocious beh behavior and it is
deeply uh rooted in
anti-Semitism and uh you know as someone
who does not like
anti-Semitism uh I was I realized that
this was a project that was almost um
relied on the existence and perpetuation
of it in order to function and I was
like this kind of makes this the uh
biggest anti-semitic Enterprise in in my
lifetime you
