In a recent Jewish Insider feature, Zioness Founder and CEO Amanda Berman offers critical insight into how discourse around Israel, Zionism, and the Jewish community has evolved on the American left and why that matters now more than ever.
“It seems indisputable that the Overton window has shifted dramatically over the last two years in terms of what ‘the left’ broadly deems acceptable about Israel, Zionism and even the Jewish American community,” said Amanda Berman, CEO of the progressive group Zioness. “This kind of rhetoric doesn’t just disappear when the news cycle moves on. That said, the vast majority of liberals and progressives are not uniquely obsessed with Jews or Israel, and have any number of urgent issues of concern.”
