’Not in Our Name: On Jews Rejecting Zionism’ - Passionate speech by Morgan Bassichis of JVP

Watch this powerful speech given by the artist, writer and anti-imperial organiser, Morgan Bassichis (@morgankindof), at our recent event in London, where they told the audience about the latest in Jewish anti-Zionist organising in the United States. “American media tries to characterise the massive growth of anti-Zionism amongst American Jews as merely a marginal position amongst young people - but we know better. It is not a generational rift. It is an intergenerational legacy. “We are proud to come from generations of Jews who opposed each and every form of oppression, including Zionism. Who saw Zionism for what it was, a false solution for the crimes of European antisemitism, that would be used to dispossess indigenous Palestinians of their land. Who connected their own activism against racism and patriarchy at home, to wars and colonialism abroad, and saw a common enemy: white supremacy and empire.“
