Antony Loewenstein, a Jewish journalist, author, and long-time critic of Israeli policy, reflects on growing up in a community where support for Israel was seen as a religious obligation, and how witnessing the destruction and mass killing in Gaza forced a profound reckoning. He describes how Zionism has replaced Judaism for many, creating an identity crisis, especially for younger Jews. Loewenstein discusses why opposing Zionism is often treated as antisemitism, the taboo of speaking up, and how propaganda, political pressure, and censorship try to maintain the narrative even as global opinion shifts.
