When Social Justice Spaces Confront Zionism: UU Sarasota Pastor Declares Himself A Zionist - Nov 12, 2026

UU Sarasota Pastor Jay Wolin publicly identified himself as a Zionist in a now-deleted Facebook post, sparking shock, concern, and difficult questions among those who work alongside the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church. His public declaration has raised an important question: Where does the church stand when it comes to Palestinian liberation, human rights, and the pursuit of justice?
In this episode, we take a deeper look at Zionism, examining its historical and political implications and challenging an ideology that critics argue has been used to justify the displacement of millions of Palestinians, land confiscation, military occupation, systemic oppression, apartheid, and the ongoing destruction of Palestinian life and communities.
We also explore the Tenets of Palestinian Liberation and what genuine solidarity looks like in practice. What responsibility do churches, faith communities, and social justice organizations have when confronting ideologies and systems rooted in racism, white supremacy, colonialism, and oppression?
This is a conversation about accountability, solidarity, moral consistency, and the responsibility to stand with oppressed communities everywhere.
