Confronting and Responding to Difficult Claims about Israel

Many people struggle with reconciling liberal values and support for Israel, especially when faced with statements like:
  • “You can’t be liberal and support Israel.”
  • “Zionism = occupation and the settler movement.”
  • “Hamas are freedom fighters.”
  • “Israel is a colonizer oppressing the natives.”

In this discussion, we will explore effective ways to navigate these critiques, engage in meaningful dialogue with anti-Zionist perspectives, and articulate a pro-Israel stance that aligns with liberal principles.

This four-part webinar series is designed to deepen our shared understanding and create a common language that reflects the diverse cultural, political, and social contexts of our communities. Together, we’ll explore how empathy and dialogue can help us advocate for Progressive Jewish values, support Reform Jewish communities in Israel, and contribute to a vision of a democratic Jewish state.
