These last few days a lot of Jewish people have raised voices against Zionist bombing of Gaza.
Just for sake of clarity, it is very important to have a clear definition of Jew and Zionist:

----
Many Zionists (Evangelical Americans, European Atheist Bankers and lately Indians etc. etc.) have nothing to do with religion of Judaism. As a matter of fact these people don't even know basics of Abrahamic religions.

Charter of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network
We are an international network of Jews who are uncompromisingly committed to struggles for human emancipation, of which the liberation of the Palestinian people and land is an indispensable part. Our commitment is to the dismantling of Israeli apartheid, the return of Palestinian refugees, and the ending of the Israeli colonization of historic Palestine.
From Poland to Iraq, from Argentina to South Africa, from Brooklyn to Mississippi, Jews have taken up their quest for justice, and their desire for a more just world, by joining with others in collective struggles. Jews participated prominently in the workers’ struggle of the depression era, in the civil rights movement, in the struggle against South African Apartheid, in the struggle against fascism in Europe, and in many other movements for social and political change. The State of Israel’s historic and ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from their land contradicts and betrays these long histories of Jewish participation in collective liberation struggles.
