We are anti-Zionist Jews, founders of Alternative Jewish Voices and Dayenu (together at last).
Zionism is not our Judaism, and Netanyahu's assault on Gaza is not our war. We stand with the oppressed and we stand up to the oppressor. That is our Judaism.

Every so often this little Hinemoana Baker poem comes to mind:
Referee
he needs to let the game go
he needs to go back to Townsville
he needs to know we didn’t drive seven hours
to listen to him play his whistle.
