Token Olam

A Jewish person who willingly acts as a token Jew in order to endear themselves to anti-semites in the Boycott Israel movement (aka BDS). They are tokens because the vast majority of Jewish people view the BDS movement as anti-Semitic. Token Olam is a play on “Tikkun Olam,” or “Heal the world” because Token Olams view themselves as more enlightened or peacemakers. They will often remain silent and stand shoulder to shoulder with anti-semites spewing hate. They will sympathize with terrorism committed by HAMAS, and they will victim blame when Jews are attacked. Another term for a Token Olam is “AsaJew” because they are known to say “as a Jew, I support the BDS movement.” Token Olams will often be seen at Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, or Students for Justice in Palestine events.

“Honestly it disgusts me how much Judaism is centered around Israel.”
“Oh wow. I didn’t know you were a Token Olam.”
