Anti-Zionism

“Beyond being an affirming text for anyone who has gone through the painful process of deconstructing their Zionism, this is necessary reading for anyone looking to arm themselves with facts. Moser follows in the footsteps of the mensches he represents in this essential text. This comprehensive look at anti-Zionist voices throughout history reinforced my sense of pride in my ancestors who fought against the supremacist project in the name of what is right, and what is truly Jewish. With this book, Benjamin Moser makes them all proud.”
—Hannah Einbinder, Emmy Award winner and Golden Globe nominee for HBO’s Hacks

“With meticulous research, wit, and a searching moral candor, Benjamin Moser takes on decades of propaganda in these portraits of Jewish intellectuals and public figures in the shadow of Zionism’s grand narratives. . . .A lovingly-written historical primer for the free-thinkers of the West today, to whom this book says: You are in good company.”
—Isabella Hammad, author of Enter Ghost

“Moser has written such an expansive, moving text. Sensitive, rigorous, and deeply personal.”
—Raven Leilani, author of the New York Times bestseller Luster

“Benjamin Moser has created a work that is not only necessary, but riveting. I started reading with a pen in my hand, but by the third page found I had underlined almost every sentence. What I learned in these pages has profoundly changed my understanding of history—the world’s, my people’s, my family’s, and my own.”
—Ayelet Waldman, New York Times bestseller and author of A Perfect Hand

“A book of extraordinary moral clarity, with razor-sharp prose. . . .Moser reveals the true face of the Zionist movement to colonize Palestine. Taking us from Jerusalem to Rio de Janeiro, Baghdad to Berlin, this master biographer’s vivid, insightful, and affectionately drawn portraits illuminate the integrity of the defiant souls who stood in opposition.”
—Nathan Thrall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama

“At a time when some Zionists seek to restrict freedom of speech by defining anti-Zionism as antisemitism, and some anti-zionists target Jews as if they were all Zionists, Moser’s book provides an urgently necessary refutation of such conflations. I hope it will be widely read.”
—Peter Singer, author of The Life You Can Save

“A rare book that induces a simultaneous expansion of the mind and soul.”
—Pankaj Mishra, author of The World After Gaza
