Fantasy/Romance/Fiction by Zionist Authors
Disclaimer: I don't wish to bring hate to any authors, I deeply believe in democracy. However I think it's important for people who hold themselves accountable for their reading choices to have access to the information about authors/books they give their time and money to. These are authors who have publicly supported Israel or middle road. If you notice someone who may have changed their stance recently or supported Palestine and are here wrongfully please do correct me

The Yoko Ogawa thing is frying me. I looked it up and itās likeā¦ a character in one of her other books, Minaās Matchbox, expresses Zionist views (which maybe I would include in this list). Book was set in the 70s and written in 2006ā¦ but translated into English in 2024 by a Jewish guy. No word on whether the author herself espouses those views today but it is certainly a choice to translate this particular work in 2024.
I found about her political opinions after I read her book, the memory police. And I felt much better about not liking it
Brandon Sanderson????? Rick Riordan?????? Omg
It's a curse I am telling you
yeah :( idk much ab sanderson, but riordan made a statement a while ago saying something along the lines of wanting to āstay neutralā or that both sides were suffering. definitely disappointing š
I will say Rick did this at the beginning but has since read books about Palestine and posted donation links and such, I think he's learned and shouldn't be on the list anymore
ohh that's great to know! i'll have to look more into him, thank you for your comment :)
Oh this is interesting! Something to look into. From the comments, apparently a few other authors on here are the same so probs something to double check independently (or for the list to be updated if and when needed /neu)
im pretty sure rick is one of those 'middle road' folks which . . . strange and disappointing
Marissa Meyer being on here took me by surprise but in all fairness, the girl did make a Japanese character the emperor of all of east Asia. So maybe not surprised but somewhat disappointed
omg.... what the hell ššš
I bet she likes second world war history
Thanks for this! I had some books of this list on my tbr but not anymore!
Same, the real dissapointment was with books I had already read and actually loved like "the serpent and the wings of night" or "scythe". Finding out their authors character can really ruin the experience
As far as Iām aware, Rachel Lynn Solomon has participated in book auctions for Gaza recently and I believe sheās changed her views
This is an amazing resource! Thank you!!
HD Carlton is actually a big advocate for Palestine!! Iād prob take her book off this list but amazing job!!
I only included her because I found an account posting about authors and he included an old story of hers about being on neither side. That one was two years ago so it's very possible she was just misguided and immediately changed! I will do more research on her and if I am wrong I will certainly remove her from the list! Thank you for your correction ā¤ļøā¤ļø
Ohhh didnāt know that! Like you said it is possible sheās changed, Iāve read she regularly posts about Palestine and even teamed up with some other authors to release an anthology of story excerpts with all proceeds going to Palestinian families :) that was a year ago and if thereās any new info on her then I will amend my comment Thank you for your response ā”
I don't see quicksilver on here, did something change?
I couldn't find any photos of a tweet or an Instagram story when researching and I chose to not include an author without having solid proof just in case someone asks me why that author is included in the list I will definitely add Callie if she has expressed any pro Israel stance! Have you read something about her?
i was just about to comment lol callie hart def needs to be on here
STEPHANIE MEYER??? NOO š©š©š©
I also had no idea about thisš
iām looking it up, and am personally not seeing anything about her and zionism. i do see stuff about her being a mormon though. i donāt think sheās made an explicit statement about the genocide, though.
Yeah i wouldn't be surprised though considering Mormons being what they are and on top of that her books being racist.
totally see that, thank you for letting me know!
Wrote my earlier comment before looking at the books on the list, and now Iāve looked and WOWOWOWOWWW there are so many authors I didnāt expect!! This is wild!!! So really really thank you for this!!
Not the post reading clarity š Yes, it's a dark world out there
thank you for this list!!
NOT COCO MELLORS
Yeah i saw somewhere that she has a zionist/israeli character in her book
agh removing blue sisters from my tbr
There's also neal shusterman, author of the Scythe trilogy, as much as I hate to say itš
NO š± I did not see that coming... How... How do you even write Scythe while being a Zionist come onnnn
I think he's more middle-of-the-road based on what I found but YEAAAAH, even that at this point is too much
Having read Cleopatra & Frankenstein and The Blue Sisters, I am still unsure why the Jewish characters are Zionists... I am eager to learn, so I would love someone to educate me, sorryyy š
A book that isn't nearly as popular but was on my TBR before I looked up the author and her entire Instagram feed is littered with Zionism talking points is Goddess of Warsaw by Lisa Barr
I didn't know about it! That is really disappointing honestly
Does anyone know if Roshani Chokshi still is very āboth sidesā (as she was in Oct-ish 2023) or if sheās expressed different (hopefully pro-Palestine) views since?
Christina Lauren changed their stance last year. They did Auction to Donate to Gaza. Also Pierce Brown books are shit so donāt even bother adding it!
Can you provide the sources regarding Stephen King? Would appreciate it greatly
In his book "Different seasons": Others have it worse, he thought. All over the world, others have it worse. In Israel, the Palestinians kill busloads of farmers who were committing the political crime of going into town to see a movie. The Israelis cope with this injustice by dropping bombs on the Palestinians and killing children along with whatever terrorists may be there.
Also Israel is mentioned in many of his books. I think his input on the matter is more subtle than anything but his silence on the Palestinian genocide is quite telling especially when he has mentioned Israeli war criminals in his books
