It still trips me up so hard when people conflate Zionism and Jewishness because it runs so antithetical to my personal experiences.
The first time I heard about Palestine was over a decade ago when I was but a young kid. It was on a bumper sticker on my friend’s mom’s car. “Palestine: the worlds largest open air prison.” Probably first saw it when I went to their place for latkes around Hanukkah. From then on I just assumed the default Jewish position was to free Palestine so it still makes me crazy when I see this conflation.
