When I speak on campus, I ask what % of the pro-Palestine protesters are Jewish. Usually, Jews are overrepresented. Sometimes they're the largest identity group. Maybe folks calling for cracking down on protesters in the name of Jewish safety should consider their safety too

Among the most shocking things I’ve seen: Dozens of Israelis blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.
It goes against Jewish values: Jews are taught that to save a life is to save a whole world. It is a sick society to allow this to go unpunished.

Does anyone else find it bizarre that the Israeli IDF spokespersons are largely white, speaking perfect English, like Peter Lerner, who is from London, justifying genocide in a perfect British accent.
Wait.. could it be that… those guys are not from there? Like, colonizers?

On the restoration of water to the south of Gaza. It is meaningless in a context of infrastructural destruction even before this moment.

This is what Israel’s “democracy” is really all about.
War. Destruction. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Palestinians are the primary target but certainly not the only.
Israel is an extension of the Euro-American project of imperialism. Standing with Israel means you stand against humanity.
