Zionism Unfiltered* is a new community forum dedicated to Zionist pride, education, and connection, proudly housed at the Hamilton Jewish Federation. We welcome Jews and non-Jews alike who are interested in learning, asking questions, and participating in respectful discussion about Zionism vs. antizionism.

The rise in antisemitism is a painful reality in Canada, including in Hamilton and the surrounding region. Today, this ancient hatred is often expressed through antizionism, leaving many feeling confused, discouraged, and even overwhelmed.

But we do not have to face these challenges alone or unprepared.

Through inspiring speakers, educational resources, and thoughtful discussion, Zionism Unfiltered will explore the rich history and ideals of Zionism. We’ll also examine the libels that fuel antizionism and antizionism’s harmful impact on Jewish life. Participants will leave with the knowledge to recognize antizionism for what it is - a slanderous hate movement targeting the Jewish people - and the confidence to respond with clarity and conviction.

Together, we will learn.
Together, we will strengthen our resolve.
Together, we will build a growing community united in our love of Zion.

*Educated. United. Done playing defence.*

We hope you’ll join us. Here’s our fall lineup:

Andria Spindel (CAEF) “Antizionism is Antisemitism” Oct 14, 7:00-9:00

Rob Roberts and Dave Gordon “Media Bias and Antisemitism” Nov 8, 7:00-9:00
