Can we talk about the accusations that Hannah is a Zionist?
Now that she's taken over as showrunner there are accusations that she is a Zionist over on twitter that are spreading to other social media platforms.
Now Hannah has never stated any Zionist beliefs but this mostly seems to stem from :
her being Jewish
her visiting a commune in Israel when she was 18.
10 years ago she did an interview with the Times of Israel while promoting play where she said this:
> Given her interest in complex subjects, the Times of Israel wondered whether Moscovitch might try tackling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
> The playwright (who has a Jewish father and non-practicing Christian mother) received a Jewish education, went on the March of the Living, and spent four months after high school in Israel as a volunteer on Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi.
> To her mind, however, this is not enough to position her to write a play about Israelis and Palestinians.
> “I believe in doing rigorous research. I would have to live in Israel for a substantial amount of time before taking on that subject. North American Jewish writers sometimes take it on and fail because they don’t know what they are talking about,” Moscovitch said.
> “There are enough works out there about North American Jews who go to Israel and discover how much more complex the situation is than they thought or were taught to believe. I don’t have anything else I’d want to contribute to that genre,” she said.
Note the "were taught to believe..." This is a person who clearly questions the Zionist ideology.
I have had conversations with people pushing these claims, when you point out that there's no evidence she's a Zionist they push back with "Times of Israel is a Zionist newspaper." Mind you they would have held this standard to boycott with Zionist ties 10 years ago but it is now applied to everyone and everything anyone has ever done.
Also that was the first time and last time Hannah ever gave an interview to TOI.
Additionally Hannah's father is a Jewish activist whose own views on Israel have evolved to the extent that he is publicly critical of Netanyahu and aggression against Palestinians.
