"Jewish Anti-Zionism: A Historical Anthology" by Shaul Magid (Editor)" My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.
Book description: This book contains a collection of texts illustrating the complex reasons why Jews have contested or rejected the Zionist ideal. In the decades since the founding of the state of Israel in 1948, many have equated Zionism with Jewish identity—and anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Few remember now that the Zionist movement triggered passionate debate among Jews, with many expressing ambivalence or opposition to the Zionist project. Here, the authors have gathered a broad selection of documents, written between the late nineteenth century and the present day, the book features dozens of texts by Jewish writers, discussing why they reject the Zionist idea as the best option for Jewish flourishing.
I gleaned so much information from this book. If the subject interests you, and if you have concerns about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, I think you will find this book interesting and instructive.
