  • The genocide is being live streamed onto our phones.”
    Jewish-American activist Simon Zimmerman tells @el.sayyed there’s a generational shift in how young Americans see Israel, including young Jews, because what’s happening in Gaza is undeniable. She says while many young Jews see this reality unfiltered, many in older generations are still sheltered from it.
    Zimmerman’s personal story from a pro-Israeli student to a pro-Palestinian organiser was documented in the acclaimed new film ‘Israelism’.

      For better or for worse, your generation is definitely creating history.
      It's on par with the fall of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin wall, the Civil Rights Movement, and so on. This movement has created a tectonic shift in American politics.
      Unconditional and unquestioned Israeli support was the number 1 rule of America politics for decades. Not a thousand atomic bombs could have changed that.
      Ans you youngsters shattered that rule with only the power of your peaceful protests.

    The irony of this woman’s viewpoint is there were far more Jews in America that didn’t stand behind Israel before Hamas attacked than today. The tragedy of this war is on both sides, as all wars are, but there are far more Jews in America who now stand steadfastly with Israel than before this disaster started. This was a disaster for Hamas in every respect.

    I don't believe any anti-genocide Jewish person has yet given up their Israeli citizenship, or the land and homes stolen from the Palestinians by themselves or their grandparents back to the rightful owners, Palestinian families.
    “We should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish people, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide.”
    Me very skeptical.

      Because human social reality is a shared hallucination, it's the way it works.
      If a lot of people don't agree on the value of money, it ceases to exist.
      If a lot of people don't agree on social classes, then they cease to exist.
      If a lot of people don't agree on laws, then they cease to exist.
      We literally create what we call social "really".
      And here's the kicker: all it takes to change it, is a lot of people believing in that change.
      Which is why they are so desperate to hide what's really happening.
