expose antizionism.
The Movement Against Antizionism is a non-partisan, emergency-response initiative confronting a rapidly escalating antizionist hate movement that is actively endangering Jewish communities today. Through education, advocacy, and coalition-building, we address the spread of harmful narratives—including libels, denialism, and dehumanizing rhetoric—that undermine civil discourse and public safety. Our mission is to critically examine and expose the structural dynamics of antizionism, while affirming the dignity, security, and equal belonging of all communities—Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian alike. We work to build collaborative partnerships, support those most at risk, and strengthen the foundations for a civic culture grounded in mutual recognition, responsible dialogue, and the pursuit of peace.
Our Guiding Principles
01. self respect
Self-respect is foundational to any community’s ability to thrive in pluralistic society. For Jewish communities, it entails the recognition that enduring patterns of marginalization—whether through bias, misrepresentation, or erasure—must be met with clarity, not internalization. It means acknowledging the legitimacy of Jewish concerns, affirming the right to define communal boundaries, and maintaining cultural and emotional integrity. At its core, self-respect reflects the refusal to absorb external hostility as self-doubt, or to seek validation by diminishing one’s identity for the comfort of others. It is a commitment to living with dignity, without apology, and to participating in civic life as equals—neither superior nor subordinate. In a time of growing polarization, this principle encourages mutual recognition, robust dialogue, and a shared commitment to respectful coexistence.
02. clarity
Clarity begins with the recognition that Jew-hatred is not a series of isolated incidents, but a recurring pattern that has manifested across different eras and ideologies. It is a framework for understanding how religious, racial, and political narratives have historically coalesced into broader structures of exclusion—often using Jews as symbolic figures onto whom broader societal tensions are projected. Rather than responding to each instance individually, clarity calls for systemic analysis. It involves tracing the underlying logic that allows old prejudices to reappear in new forms, and recognizing how the same motifs—whether theological, ethnic, or geopolitical—are repeatedly adapted to justify marginalization. This approach moves beyond reactive rebuttal. It offers a proactive, diagnostic model for understanding and addressing Jew-hatred in its evolving expressions, while reinforcing the broader societal goal of safeguarding pluralism and resisting scapegoating in all forms.
03. audacity
Audacity reflects a principled refusal to relegate Jewish life to mere tolerance or survival. It is the firm assertion that any just society must fully confront the persistence of Jew-hatred—whether it appears in ancient, modern, or contemporary forms. This commitment does not seek courtesy or conditional inclusion. It calls for a deep cultural and institutional reckoning with the patterns that have long positioned Jews as the object of projection, scapegoating, or symbolic blame. Audacity names the expectation that these underlying frameworks—across media, education, politics, and cultural discourse—be actively challenged and transformed. Rather than settling for piecemeal progress, this approach aims at systemic change. It envisions a future in which Jew-hatred no longer functions as an organizing logic in how societies define themselves or others—a future grounded in integrity, equity, and shared civic responsibility.
the groundwork for moral understanding
Efforts to address antizionist hostility often begin by appealing to leaders and institutions—university presidents, HR departments, or elected officials—for statements or disciplinary action. Yet this approach skips a vital step: building a shared cultural understanding of the antizionist movement itself. Without common language, public awareness, and moral clarity, institutional responses remain shallow. As the feminist and racial justice movements once showed, social change requires naming harm and cultivating consciousness before laws or policies can take hold. The same is true here: before institutions can act with integrity, society must first develop the moral and linguistic framework to recognize antizionism as a form of hate and to affirm the safety, belonging, and dignity of Jews within the public moral imagination.
Our Logo
The Tav (ת), the first letter of T’nuah, meaning “movement,” stands in our logo as a declaration of presence and direction. It carries the force of a people who refuse to diminish themselves or apologize for survival. The Tav is steady and unyielding, advancing without hesitation, setting boundaries where others would erase them, and rejecting the intrusion of contempt as self-doubt. It embodies resolve and self-possession, proclaiming that we move with purpose, unbroken and unashamed, charting our future on our own terms.
From the Tav rises a flame that sharpens vision and exposes what hides in the shadows. It burns away disguises, revealing the cycle of libel as projection, a pattern in which hatred endlessly recasts itself. This flame is not fragile; it cannot be smothered by distortion or denial. It reveals, it warns, it illuminates. Fierce and defiant, the flame insists on transformation and a future where Jewish life cannot be bent to the role of scapegoat. The Tav and its flame together are movement itself: unapologetic, lucid, and fearless.
