FON Supports Israel: By Launching Tel Aviv Family Office Association

by FON Staff

Discussing individuals known to hold anti-Israel views is a sensitive topic that requires careful consideration to avoid misrepresentation and ensure accuracy. 

While it is important to note that criticism of Israeli government policies does not equate to antisemitism, there are public figures who have expressed strong opposition to Israel’s actions and policies. 

Andrew Schneider, Founder of Family Office Networks, provides a contrasting perspective, highlighting the uniqueness and significance of Israel. “Israel is a small country, about the size of New Jersey,” Schneider notes. “It’s a place I often visit and embrace for its rich culture, innovation, and resilience.” Schneider’s insights underscore the importance of recognizing Israel’s contributions and the nuanced perspectives surrounding its geopolitical stance.

“It is crucial to distinguish between legitimate political criticism and hate speech or antisemitism,” Schneider emphasizes. “Public discourse on complex geopolitical issues often involves a range of perspectives, and criticism of government policies is a fundamental aspect of democratic debate.”

Here are ten individuals who have been vocal in their criticism of Israel:

  1. Roger Waters: The former Pink Floyd musician is known for his outspoken criticism of Israel’s policies towards Palestinians and has supported the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
  2. Alice Walker: The Pulitzer Prize-winning author has criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and has endorsed the BDS movement.
  3. Ilhan Omar: The U.S. Congresswoman has been critical of Israel’s policies and has called for changes in U.S. foreign policy towards Israel and Palestine.
  4. Jeremy Corbyn: The former leader of the UK Labour Party has been a vocal critic of Israeli policies and has faced controversy and accusations of antisemitism, which he denies.
  5. Linda Sarsour: The activist and former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York has been an outspoken critic of Israel and a supporter of Palestinian rights.
  6. Noam Chomsky: The renowned linguist and political activist has been critical of Israeli government policies for many years, advocating for Palestinian rights and criticizing U.S. support for Israel.
  7. Desmond Tutu: The late South African archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize laureate was a vocal critic of Israeli policies towards Palestinians and drew parallels between Israeli actions and apartheid.
  8. Mahmoud Abbas: The President of the Palestinian Authority has consistently opposed Israeli settlement policies and military actions in Palestinian territories.
  9. Norman Finkelstein: The political scientist and author has written extensively criticizing Israeli policies and U.S. support for Israel.
  10. Gigi Hadid: The model and social media personality has used her platform to criticize Israel’s actions in the conflict with Palestinians and to advocate for Palestinian rights.

Schneider’s views reflect a broader understanding that while Israel may face criticism from various quarters, it remains a vibrant, integral part of the global community. “Despite its size, Israel’s impact on technology, medicine, and culture is immense,” Schneider adds, illustrating the country’s significant contributions and the value of balanced, informed dialogue.
