if you used to identify as a zionist and no longer do i'd really like to hear about your journey. share your stories with me.

it's really incredible how many people have dm'd me because they're scared to tell their story publicly. i've gotten close to 10 detailed dms at this point.

major themes as they appear in prevalent clusters:
+feeling safe to talk, exposure to new information, encountering palestinians
+realizing they would be marginalized in israel, anti-nationalism, logic and reason
+feeling brainwashed, feeling unsettled by other's behavior

2014 is also a catalyst in many of these stories.

birthright backfiring is also another theme emerging.

concerns about idolatry, rejecting nationalism, disgust with cyclic violence
