How an evolutionary biologist is taking the fight to the 'mutating virus' of anti-Zionism
DIASPORA AFFAIRS: Challenging the way Jewish communities confront anti-Israel hostility, Stephanie Spielman argues that the time has come to expose the ideology, rather than endlessly defend Israel.
Stephanie Spielman, a computational molecular evolution expert, has left academia to combat modern anti-Israel hostility through her nonprofit, Expose Antizionism Now. Spielman argues that anti-Zionism is not merely a political disagreement, but a mutating virus of bigotry that adapts to its environment. She compares it to the Yevsektsiya, a Soviet Jewish organization that dismantled traditional Jewish life and imposed state-sponsored bigotry.
Spielman believes that the Jewish community must shift from defense to exposing anti-Zionism as a destructive ideology and evaluate its real-world outcomes.
