Anti-Zionist Resources

These are recommendations of anti-Zionist resources I have collected, many of which I have not personally had a chance to consume while others I have explored personally. Some may have biases, but at this point I have concluded that the Zionist agenda I was fed my whole life was full of lies as well, it’s ok for me to swing to the other side. As always use your own brain and apply due diligence.
