Every time that Trump said antisemitic things I donated to one of the local synagogues.
Every since the "we blow up children with fake pagers" I have not donated to a synagogue. It has ruined my ability to feel compassion for the members of synagogues.
I wouldn’t donate to houses of worship just on principle, but it’s important to remember that non-Zionist Jews and anti-Zionist Jews do exist, and not only secular ones. The Star of David on the Israeli flag is insidious propaganda, conflating a religion and a diasporic people with Zionist settler-colonism.
You hit the nail on the head with that one.
Be careful, some of them support zionisms. There was two incidents of real estate events promoting property sales in the West Bank inside a synagogues
Donate to Sikh kitchens. Core tenant of their religion is simple acts of kindness for the sake of being kind. They take everyone in at Sikh kitchens. Even cities in Texas and CA that like to ban feeding the homeless can't do shit about these kitchens because it is recognized as a part of their worship.
I'm partly repeating what others have replied, but when a nearby synagogue hosted a Zionist corporate event, some of the protesters alongside us were members who normally worshipped at that synagogue and felt disgusted.
And, for an extreme example of anti-Zionist Judaism, here's some Hasidic Jews over in London, including their Rabbi, publicly burning an Israeli flag: https://www.vice.com/en/article/anti-zionist-orthodox-jews-flag-burning-protest-109/
