The discourse around Israel and Palestine is deeply fractured, shaped by three distinct but overlapping groups that all claim the banner of anti-Zionism: principled pro-Palestine activists, grifter “leftist” anti-Zionists such as Jimmy Dore and the Greyzone, and neo-Nazis who disguise antisemitism as anti-Zionism.
