JAZ Connect aims to bring greater and increasing visibility to the many anti-Zionist Jews whose voices are currently excluded from mainstream media.
How many Jewish anti-Zionists can you name?
If only a handful come to mind, you don’t have the full picture.
There are hundreds of thousands of anti-Zionist Jews, and hundreds of Jewish anti-Zionist organisations and NGOs. Yet they are systematically ignored by the mainstream media — and when not ignored, they are smeared by Zionists as “self-hating Jews” to discredit and silence them.
But they are indispensable. Their role in confronting Zionism and the apartheid, genocidal state it has built is not just important — it may well be essential to Palestinian liberation.
Why a Directory of Jewish Anti-Zionist Voices?
The goal of a global directory is simple: to increase visibility, amplify voice, and coordinate effort. JAZ Connect exists in support of the Palestinian struggle — and to document the Jewish refusal to let Zionism speak in their name.
Zionism must be confronted where its defences are weakest: from within the very community it claims to represent. It must be exposed not only as a colonial assault on Palestinians and Arabs, but as a betrayal of Jews — whom it claims to protect.
When Jewish voices are attacked by Zionists for speaking out, the lie collapses.
The lie that Zionism is Judaism.
The lie that Israel speaks for all Jews.
The lie that opposing Zionism is antisemitic.
In truth, to oppose Zionism is to affirm Jewish existence — ethically, historically, and spiritually.
What JAZ Connect Offers
The lie is already collapsing. But the collapse needs structure. It needs memory. It needs a map.
The JAZ Connect platform is designed to be a living, searchable record of Jewish individuals and organisations across the globe who have said no to Zionism. Publicly. Unambiguously. Often at great personal cost.
This vast reservoir of principled, courageous Jewish dissent needs a focal point. JAZ Connect steps up to that task. To our knowledge, no such platform currently exists.
JAZ Connect exists to:
- Amplify anti-Zionist Jewish voices
- Act as a resource for journalists, organisers, and activists
- Help Palestinians and others locate principled allies
- Refute the idea of a universal Jewish-Zionist consensus
- Support Jews seeking to de-Zionise their identity, history, and traditions
It is a resource, a witness, and a tool of solidarity.
