Below are some examples of feedback we have received on our courses so far:

‘You guys were amazing. Just want to say thank you so much for making such [an] inclusive space. It was genuinely wonderful!’

‘I really appreciated the inclusion of art and art-making in the syllabus. This was really relevant and useful — and I loved the lunches and the openness which you all approached running the space.’

‘…understanding how the state of Israel itself is responsible for committing atrocities in the name of Judaism is important, but the explanations of how the *international* community is also responsible, was so invaluable to learn.’

‘until this course, i would have said that I had no relation to Zionism except that I thought ‘israel has the right to exist’ – I now see that this is a form of (at best) liberal Zionism. So I would now say I’m ‘anti-Zionist’ not necessarily suggesting that Israel should not have the right to exist, but that Zionism is pernicious, genocidal and needs to be dismantled’

‘I… found conversations surrounding people’s perspectives on whether we ought to maintain efforts to speak to zionist family members quite eye opening and positively challenging.’

‘I will be reconsidering how I show up to difficult conversations about Israel Palestine, especially in situations where I am clearly talking to someone who doesn’t agree or spouts plenty [of] talking points about “what about hamas” sort of thing and whatsaboutisms.’

‘I understand zionism a lot more and feel that there are now new (old) ways to approach the ‘difference’ between/across zionism and being Jewish.’

‘I think this course has really sparked a more general interest for me in wanting to seek out and understand diverse sources of literature, especially on colonial aspects of Zionism’

‘More confident in my ability to critically read historical material’

‘I look forward to getting more involved in organising work, and hope to engage in community education work specifically.’

‘Big appreciation’
