Disagreements over Gaza and Zionism are causing divisions within congregations, exemplified by protests at Congregation Beth El.
"Until the LGBTQ+ community distances itself from all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Zionism, our allies will continue to fall away, and we will remain defenceless in the face of attack," she wrote. "Zionists have always been at the core of LGBTQ+ progress, from Magnus Hirschfield to Elizabeth Taylor, from Larry Kramer to [Edith] Windsor. Their Zionism sprung from their humanitarianism, as did their LGBTQ+ activism."
If you don't clap for El-Yateem, you're a Zionist!" This joke by Zohran Mamdani has sparked outrage, with critics claiming it turns 'Zionist' into a slur.
