I found this openly anti-zionist book of essays from 1954 at a Little Free Library near my old shul. Here are some bangers from it

History Repeats Itself

History has a cruel way of repeating itself, especially when those in power refuse to learn from the past. Sir Keir Starmer’s recent suggestion that British troops could be sent to Ukraine without a parliamentary vote is not just reckless it’s a direct betrayal of the democratic principles we hold dear. It echoes one of the most infamous moments in modern British history: the Iraq War debacle of 2003.

A War the People Never Wanted

Back in February 2003, an estimated 1.5 million people marched through the streets of London, voicing their opposition to the impending war in Iraq. This was one of the largest protests in British history, a clear and unequivocal message to the Blair government: “Not in our name.” And yet, despite overwhelming public opposition, Tony Blair took Britain to war alongside the United States. The result? Years of bloodshed, a destabilised Middle East, and the tragic loss of British servicemen and women for a cause that was later exposed as being based on lies.

Fast forward to 2025, and it seems Labour’s leadership has learned nothing. Once again, we see a Labour leader prepared to march Britain towards war this time, in Ukraine without the consent of the people or even Parliament. The sheer arrogance of Starmer’s position should alarm every Briton, regardless of political allegiance.

No Troops, No War—Not in Our Name

Britain has played a supportive role in aiding Ukraine against Russian aggression, providing financial and military assistance. But there is a world of difference between sending weapons and deploying British boots on the ground. The moment a single British soldier steps onto Ukrainian soil in an official capacity, we are no longer just supporting an ally we are at war. This would put our troops in direct confrontation with Russian forces, escalating the conflict in ways that could be catastrophic.

Let’s be absolutely clear: we, the British people, do not want to be dragged into this war. We do not want our troops deployed to a battlefield that is not ours. We do not want another generation of soldiers sent off to die in a conflict that should never have involved us directly. And we certainly do not want a government that ignores the will of its people and bypasses parliamentary debate in matters as grave as war.

Starmer’s Hypocrisy Exposed

Keir Starmer brands himself as a man of integrity, a leader who will restore trust in government after years of Tory mismanagement. Yet, in a move straight out of the Blair playbook, he is now floating the idea of committing Britain to war without the democratic process. This is not leadership it’s authoritarianism dressed up as “decisiveness.”

Had this been a Conservative Prime Minister attempting to bypass Parliament on military intervention, Labour would be screaming bloody murder about the erosion of democracy. But because it’s Starmer, we’re expected to sit quietly and nod along? Not a chance.

Britain First, Not Globalist Interests

The Labour government should be focusing on the crises at home our crumbling economy, failing NHS, uncontrolled immigration, and rising crime. Instead, Starmer is more concerned with playing international hero, bending over backwards to appease NATO and the EU, rather than prioritising British interests. His reckless warmongering only proves one thing: Labour still cannot be trusted with our national security.

We Must Speak Out Before It’s Too Late

If Iraq taught us anything, it’s that public pressure matters. The protests of 2003 did not stop the war, but they exposed the government’s lies and eroded Blair’s credibility forever. We cannot afford to wait until British coffins start coming home from Ukraine before we raise our voices. The time to oppose Starmer’s Ukraine gamble is now.

We must demand that any military deployment requires a full parliamentary vote. We must pressure our MPs to stand up for their constituents. And most importantly, we must remind Labour that Britain is not a pawn on the globalist chessboard.

No war. No troops. Not in our name.

"Hundreds of anti-Zionist Jews blockading President Biden’s motorcade route as he travels to a campaign fundraiser on the Upper East Side, calling on the President — in his first New York City appearance since the crisis in Gaza began — to stop funding and arming the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians and ensure an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

As U.S. Jews and anti-Zionists, we want to make it crystal clear that President Biden is not welcome in our city while he continues to push additional funding and weapons for a genocide. Biden says he is doing this forJewish safety, but we call his bluff. The President is advancing the US’s own imperial interests. The price has been the lives of almost 30,000 Palestinians. Hundreds of thousands more are on the brink of famine.

There is no single person with more decision-making power over the US's funding, arming and backing of Israel's cataclysmic bombardment of Gaza than President Biden. Under his leadership, the United States has expedited $150 million of weapons sales to the Israeli military, ignored the World Court’s determination that Israel is plausibly committing genocide, suspended U.S. funding to UNRWA (the UN agency providing essential food and aid to Palestinians), and refused for months to call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire.

This is the first time President Biden has been in NYC since October 7th. And instead of answering to the majority of his base that has been imploring him for a ceasefire, he is pushing a deal for an additional $14.3 billion in military funding to Israel.

We refuse to just stand by while President Biden funds and arms a genocide. Today, thousands of New Yorkers took off work to demonstrate against him. And right now, hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers are getting arrested for blockading Fifth Avenue outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, disrupting the Presidential motorcade route as it attempts to travel from one private fundraiser to another.

President Biden, answer to your constituents. Stop funding and arming the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza."

I'm loving the "Guide for Jewish Anti-zionist Jews." Presumably this is as opposed to goyishe Anti-zionist Jews, aka the non-Jews in JVP who like to say #NotInOurName

April 3, 2025: That awkward moment when the people you’re protesting alongside hate Jews so much that even your fake token Jew group gets attacked for being imperialist-

Highlights:

“‘Not in Our Name’… normalizes Zionist tactics of using religion as a tool of colonization.”

“…Diminishes the harm committed against Palestinian Jews.”

“The goal of antizionist Jews should be to disrupt zionist narratives, not to attempt to ‘save the soul’ of Judiasm or absolve the Jewish community of its culpability for its communal involvement in zionism.”

This isn’t even internally consistent propaganda- if there were such a thing as Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Jewish martyrs, then why shouldn’t we be centering Jewish identity as well as Muslim and Christian identities?

Either they know there are no Palestinian Jews and are knowingly lying, or they truly believe there are Palestinian Jews and view their lives as less worthy of remembrance than Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

This is the group that took responsibility for vandalizing Columbia with CUAD, by the way.

I've always been a huge critic of others in the Western Judaic community pulling victim cards whenever one of them gets rightfully criticized, but it is getting supremely on my nerves how many people are doing that when they're criticized for enabling the colony's genocide and terrorism

Every time Bisan calls out the colony's offensive force for starting shit within neighbouring territories, she's rightfully called it terrorism and criminal behaviour...but then America's Next Top Reacher will show up and go "OMG.....SHE'S SAYING JEWS ARE TERRORISTS AND CRIMINALS!!" You think intercepting pagers and loading them with malware and incendiary materials so they fucking explode regardless of where or who they may be around is inherently Jewish? Do you seriously want this behaviour to be associated with Jewish identity? Detach yourself and your self-worth from the colony and embrace criticizing them too, or don't you dare ever say "Never Again" ever again

Watching the livestream from SFO and crying and raging. I signed up for recurring monthly donations to ACLU because I don't know what else to do right now. So horrified, so angry, so heart broken.⠀ Repost from @bettyreads :⠀ Been following what's happening at JFK and airports around the US for hours. Important to be aware and continue to share what's happening with the #MuslimBan Donate to the ACLU, if you can't: go protest, if not: just amplify the voices. Continue to speak out against what is happening. We must oppose this hate at all times. If too much, take time to rest and research and keep it up. Immigrants and refugees are being attacked right now and if you don't think this affects you, you're wrong.

#NOTINOURNAMES Siamo un gruppo di giovani ebree ed ebrei italiani. In questo momento drammatico e di escalation della violenza sentiamo il bisogno di prendere la parola e dire #NotInOurNames, unendoci ai nostri compagni e compagne attivisti in Israele e Palestina e al resto delle comunità ebraiche della diaspora che stanno facendo lo stesso. Abbiamo già preso posizione come gruppo quest'estate condannando il piano di annessione dei territori della Cisgiordania da parte del governo israeliano e il nostro percorso prosegue nella sua formazione e autodefinizione.

“Siamo un gruppo di giovani ebree ed ebrei italiani. In questo momento drammatico e di escalation della violenza sentiamo il bisogno di prendere la parola e dire #NotInOurNames (...) Diciamo Not In OurNames: -gli sfratti a Sheikh Jarrah e la conseguente repressione della polizia -gli ultimi episodi repressivi sulla Spianata delle Moschee -il governo israeliano che pretende di parlare a nome di tutti gli ebrei, in Israele e nella diaspora -i giochi di potere (di Netanyahu, Hamas, Abu Mazen) che non tengono conto delle vite umane -i linciaggi e gli atti violenti che si stanno verificando in molte città israeliane -il bombardamento su Gaza -il lancio di razzi indiscriminato da parte di Hamas -la riduzione del dibattito a tifo da stadio -l’utilizzo strumentale della Shoah sia per criticare che per sostenere Israele -le posizioni unilaterali e acritiche degli organi comunitari ebraici italiani -gli eventi di piazza organizzati dalle comunità ebraiche con il sostegno della classe politica italiana, compresi personaggi di estrema destra e razzisti -la narrazione mediatica degli eventi in Medio Oriente che non tiene conto di una dinamica tra oppressi e oppressori -qualunque iniziativa e discorso che veicoli rappresentazioni islamofobe e antisemite La situazione attuale rappresenta l'apice di un sistema di disuguaglianze e ingiustizie che va avanti da troppi anni: l’occupazione israeliana dei Territori Palestinesi e l’embargo contro Gaza incarnano l'intollerabile violenza strutturale che il popolo palestinese subisce quotidianamente. Condanniamo le politiche razziste e di discriminazione nei confronti dei palestinesi. (...) Pur coscienti che antisionismo non sia sinonimo di antisemitismo, osserviamo come un antisemitismo non elaborato, che si riversa più o meno consciamente in alcune delle giuste e legittime critiche alle politiche di Israele, rende alcuni spazi di solidarietà difficili da attraversare. Si tratta di una impasse dalla quale vogliamo uscire, per combattere efficacemente ogni tipo di oppressione.” La campagna anti Israele dei giovani ebrei italiani.
