In the West, Jewish voices are embracing anti-Zionism. Palestinians must seize this moment

The article argues that Jewish opposition to Zionism has a long history and should be recognised as part of Jewish political thought. It presents Benjamin Moser’s new book as a challenge to the claim that Jewish identity and security require a state organised around Jewish privilege in Palestine, and says debate in the West is increasingly questioning Zionism itself.

The author connects this shift to protests over Gaza and the British Green Party’s support for a single democratic state. They argue that Palestinian leaders should reconsider reliance on partition and a state alongside Israel, while stressing that international recognition of Palestinian statehood still matters. The article calls for a rights-based alternative addressing equality, refugees, dispossession and the fragmentation of Palestinians; it also notes that opposition to Israel’s actions does not necessarily mean opposition to Zionism.
