Our Progressive Allies

Being a progressive ally to Jews takes either:

(And that includes Jews who support the existence of Israel as the Mothership of the Jews...which is the majority of Jews, btw)

A) Courage

B) Ignorance

No. I don't mean ignorance about how evil Zionists are or ignorance about Israel being the most evil country in the world. (or if not THE most evil then AN evil country that, for some reason people need to passionately hate above all other evil countries). 

What I mean is ignorance about how much Zionists are hated in the progressive world and ignorant to the fact that if you stand up for Jews or say something supportive about Israel...you likely will get canceled, boycotted, attacked...or at least get some really mean comments on Instagram.  

All that being said, it's not all doom and gloom for progressive allies of untokenizable Jews. 

Yes. Progressive allies of Jews get shit thrown their way. They will lose some friends, and points will be deducted from their reputation.

But they gain new friends and also admiration and gratitude....If the algorithms are kind to them.

IF the algorithms are kind to them, there will likely be a lot of admiration and gratitude from some right-wing Jews and tons and tons of admiration and gratitude from progressive Jews. Because us progressive Zionists are super hungry for support coming from our own political side. 

If I was good at poetry, I would write a parody of Rudyard Kipling's If poem about being a progressive Zionist or ally. 

Something along the lines of...if you can support Israel and Jews while still supporting DEI and resisting Trump-Fascism while other allies around you are blabbing on excessively about the horrors of DEI and Wokeness. And Netanyahu is doing shitty things....then....

Well, you're not gonna turn from a boy to a man or anything like that.

But....

I won't blame you for stress-eating that big tub of peanut M&M's from Costco or needing an increase in your medication.

Or screaming into the void.
