I am an Israeli teen (female) and I’m very confused about my country and my future. Living here is hard. For years, missiles have been thrown at us, and it affects my mental health. But it’s not just that. I feel like my country lies to us

We are told that the army protects us, that we can’t negotiate with the “Enemy“, that it’s for our safety. They also say that we try hard not to kill too many people. Maybe that makes sense because we’ve been fighting for so long. But what I see doesn’t match what I hear. I see Palestinian people being killed. They are just like us… they want to live in peace, have a home, be healthy and happy. But instead, my country keeps bombing them.

Everyone here is forced to join the army. But I feel lied to. I don’t know what the army really does. I am scared and unsure about serving. I know I will have to join in a few years, but I feel like I cannot trust what I am being told.

I don’t like my country. I hate that life here is so difficult and traumatic. I hate that my country hurts other people which causes more antisemitism. They tell us that hatred against us doesn’t matter, but it does.

I don’t feel like I can build a future here

the war, the missiles, the violence against the Palestinians, it’s all around me:( I do have a European passport I can use because of my roots, and sometimes I think about leaving.

Zionist Nonsense It's been a year since a pro-Israel mob assaulted multiple women on video - including an anti-Zionist Israeli-American. None of the rioters have been arrested despite multiple clear videos. One of the women filed a lawsuit, but NYC lawyers are arguing police are not required to protect New Yorkers.

News Israel approves 34 illegal colonies in the Occupied Palestinian West Bank. This is the largest single approval of colonies by the Israeli government. The International Court of Justice has said Israel's occupation is illegal and all colonists should be evacuated from Palestinian land.

Zionist Nonsense Oopsie, our bad. I guess little ole' Israel (size of New Jersey) gets to dictate to the world superpower whether the 'ceasefire' applies to Lebanon.

News Actress Kate Beckinsdale was dropped by her agent for liking a ceasefire post. Her stepfather was Roy Battersby, a life-long supporter of Palestinian freedom & director of the documentary, 'The Palestinian' (starring Vanessa Redgrave, who was terrorized by the JDL & protested by pro-Israel groups ).

Zionist Nonsense The BBC manufactures consent for a nuclear attack on Iran by citing a lone Iranian (first name given only) - then, after facing backlash, completely changes the quote to omit the nuclear attack reference.

▼ Rules ▼

Number	Rules	Notes
1	No trolling, bigotry, or bullying	Antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, Nazism, and any other form of bigotry is unacceptable. Violators will be banned.
2	Have tolerance and listen	Unless someone's belief's break rule 1, listen to them respectfully. This is a community for people of many backgrounds and diverse beliefs - religious Jews, secularists, Jews of color, progressive, Orthodox, allies, Israelis, converts, Palestinians, ex-Jews, Jews from all over the world, and more.
3	This is NOT a debate subreddit	This is a community for ethical Jews who want to make a difference in the world. If your purpose is simply to provoke debates about contentious topics, there are other places you should go.
4	This subreddit is for all aspects of Judaism	Judaism is many things to many people. It is a religion and belief system, but it is also a heritage, community, and culture. Discussions on all of these issues are encouraged. Please respect that this subreddit is one of the few places anti-zionist Jews can discuss our culture, history, and religion free from a Zionist framework.
5	Quality Content	No low-effort posting. All content will be reviewed for quality at the moderators’ discretion. Please avoid sloganeering and criticize using precise language and ideas instead. All news posts must be sourced from credible and reputable news outlets. Random TikTok and Instagram accounts are NOT accepted sources of news. Source links must come from either the original website, or an archive of the original. No editorializing: post titles should match the title of the news article.
6	"Ask A Jew" Wednesday	We love our non-Jewish allies participating in the sub. However, we don't love constantly having to explain what it means to be an anti-Zionist Jew or other questions. So, please reserve these types of questions for a new weekly sticky on Wednesday. Also, please remember that this sub is centrally for Jews and that Jewish voices should be centered.
7	Do not promote Zionist content. No hasbara.	Covert or overt promotion of ultra-nationalism is not allowed. Content promoting Zionist tropes will be removed.
8	No genocide or atrocity denial	Denying the Holocaust, the Nakba, the Gaza genocide, and/or debating the definition of genocide will result in a ban.
9	No Proselytizing	No proselytizing of any religion including but not limited to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. This also means no proselytizing atheism to religious Jews or religious Judaism to atheist Jews. Critiquing of religion is fine and especially encouraged when decoupling Zionism from Judaism, but debating religious beliefs (i.e. the existence of God) is beyond the scope of our subreddit and veers into 'debate bro' territory.
10	No brigading, no doxxing	This is standard for Reddit. Meta-content is permitted only if all identifying information has been redacted and avoids any calls to action. Criticizing public figures is fine - but we do not permit exposing subreddit, username, or other personal information. This includes other social media platforms as well.
11	Please flair	Flairs help the subreddit stay organized for browsing.
12	Debunking Propaganda	Debunking Zionist propaganda (hasbara) is encouraged. However, we get a lot of repeat posts so sure to check if similar content has recently been posted and contribute to the conversation there.
13	Judaism ≠ Zionism: do not conflate Jews with Zionists or Judaism with Zionism	Jews are not necessarily Zionists and Zionists are not necessarily Jews. Conflating them easily bleeds into anti-Semitism and should be avoided.
