At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

          Funny how you cite a source that doesn’t even contain the word “Zionist”, “Zionism”, “Zion” anything.

          If you actually have a look at the data you can see there’s very significant chunks that don’t have an issue with BDS, that don’t think that Netanyahu is in any way serious about peace. Those are not the frothing-at-the-mouth Kahanites that people on the US left often mean when they say “Zionist”. Yitzhak Rabin was a Zionist. Murdered by a Zionist.

          It’s more complicated than that and may I remind y’all that Hamas specifically targeted Hippie Kibutzim during their attack, the same kind of people who go into the West Bank during olive harvest so that settlers have a harder time shooting Palestinians, which is one of the reasons why the Israeli government doesn’t give a rat’s arse about the hostages.

          The biggest enemies of the Zionist project, currently, is the type of people running the Israeli government. Because if you’re out for a place for Jews to call home, to live in peace and prosperity, antagonising the fuck out of everyone is not the way to go about it. Traitors to the movement, the lot of them.

              I see. So based on your “evidence,” 60% of the percentage of the 80% of Jews that live in America in that combined 80% total of Israel and the U.S. are “Zionists” (even though that’s not what your poll said).

              This is what the poll said:

              Among U.S. Jews overall, 58% say they are very or somewhat emotionally attached to Israel,

              “Somewhat emotionally attached to Israel” is not Zionism by any stretch of the imagination.

          Seriously, we should stop listening to americans, brits and germans on this. The literal rest of the world is feeling nauseous but they are still repeating propaganda while people are being massacred.

          Of course this have to do with the rise of ultranationalism. Germany for the germans, make america great again, Brexit. Isreal for the jews.

              what? They are parked in a ghetto. They just want their land back. Are the native americans nazis for wanting self-governance? Were they wrong for wanting scalps white men. No they were not.

              Were the Irish in the wrong for the homerule struggle? No of course not. The brits came and stole their land.

              Nobody want to deport israelis. White people still live in south africa as far as i know. They sure whine a lot but nobody got deported did they?

              Who’s talking about jews? I thought Israel was an open society with equal rights for all people.

              Anyway they’re bombing civilians with white phosphorus. Fuck off. Watch yourself in the mirror real hard.

              They were still the first party. My point is that you cannot equate jews and israel otherwise we can stab the first jew since they support using white phosphorus on civilians

              Equating a political entity with an ethnicity is the rationale for collective punishment.

              Collective punishment which you obviously support.

        There source, apparently, is a poll taken of American Jews. And not a poll they understood very well:

        https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/05/21/u-s-jews-have-widely-differing-views-on-israel/

        Along with the fact that most Israeli Jews want the country in which they live to exist, which… duh.

        But, you know, America is the only country with Jews outside of Israel.

        In fact, are there any countries besides those two?

          Don’t underestimate the number of Jews in Israel that want a 0 state solution. There are anarchist Israelis. There are antizionist Israelis.

            Oh I’m sure there are plenty of Israelis who want that.

            But from all I can tell, based on better polling than the person above provided, the majority of Israelis could be described accurately as Zionists.

            Their poll was about emotional attachment. You can be “emotionally attached to Israel” because it’s where the Western Wall is. It doesn’t mean you’re a Zionist as OP suggests.
