Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.
The Jewish people of the world deserve apology from the government of isreal for using their suffering as a political tool in service of genocide.
In conflating politics and imperialism with lineage and race, the political movement of Zionism sows incalculable hatred into the world in the name of Judaism, so that they can reap it later, when Jewish people suffer as meat shields, as justification for expansionism, and forever-war. Down with this theocratic shell game.
As someone who is a Jewish refugee in the US, there are more than enough Jewish folks in Israel and around the US who are completely fine with what the government of Israel is doing. They should not be let off the hook. I say this fully realizing that the pro Palestinian sentiment has a large Jewish constituency in the US. So it’s not to paint with a broad brush. But people living in Israel are almost 3/4 in support of what is happening and the only protests in that country were from people who wanted to rescue the hostages but were fully on board with the horrors the country is committing in the name of Jews around the world. The conflation of a religion with an ethnicity will end up making us less safe.
That’s not because they’re Jewish, though, it’s because they’ve let their ego and pride overcome their empathy for their fellow human beings.
There’s plenty of non-Jewish people who are also perfectly happy to profit off the suffering of Palestinians.
What a terrible excuse
Those were absolutely not the only protests in Israel, those were the only protests in Israel that got coverage and support from the government. The protests against what was happening were violently suppressed and silenced as has been happening for quite some time. Yes the large anti netanyahu protests made little mention of Palestinians rather than ceasefire deals to bring the hostages home but that is how you bring people together politically.
Once the hostages are all released most of them will stop caring
This is hilariously short sighted.
Oh yeah? So why Israelis was so silent before the 7 of October?
Are you a real person? Israel has been destroying Gaza since way before October 7th.
Yes, did i say otherwise? Israel has been destroying Gaza since way before October 7t and Israeli was pretty silent about it strengthening my statement that most Israelis only care about their hostages and couldn’t care less about Palestine being genocided
My pro-palestinian praxis is making sure my Jewish neighbours have no reason to even think about aliyah. Jewish safety? It’s here. Reverse doikayt.
Thank you for the little rabbit hole you provided when I was prompted to look up “doikayt”.

All my life I’ve been hearing propaganda tarring all Jewish people as being murdering racist colonizers.
It’s very strange that that propaganda is now coming from the government of Israel and wealthy Jewish people in the US.
Seems like a really stupid and counterproductive move, but I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
The Palestinian people deserve a lot of apologies from a lot of assholes on the internet that have monetized their suffering.
And a lot of people in the Arab world deserve an apology from the Ayatollah of Iran for using them as meat shields in their failed attempt to wipe Israel off the map.
Literal parallel reality material. Arabs overwhelmingly support Iran’s antagonization of Israel and wish their own governments would do the same. Source: am Arab.
