Benjamin Moser, a writer who grew up accepting liberal Zionism without question, now embraces anti-Zionism and argues it represents a "hidden tradition" rather than a recent phenomenon, The Guardian reported. Moser's shift reflects a broader conversation about Jewish opposition to Zionism, tracing historical examples including Israeli human rights attorney Felicia Langer's activism at Neve Tirza women's prison in 1987.
The piece examines how Moser's intellectual journey from unquestioning acceptance of Zionist tenets to explicit anti-Zionism mirrors a pattern of Jewish dissent that, he suggests, has existed throughout modern history but remains obscured from mainstream awareness.
