  • Brown University students in the United States recently staged a sit-in on campus demanding the university divest from Israeli companies and join the growing call for an immediate ceasefire.
    It was later reported that 41 students were arrested for trespassing following the sit-in, which was organised by the Brown Divest Coalition.

    To the two eloquent students: I would go one further and say that the actions of Israel absolutely make Jews less safe, as it fuels and feeds into all the worst, longstanding antisemitic tropes. Also, I would say that sleeping in a warm bed, eating a nutritious breakfast, and knowing one's friends are alive and well ~ that's more than a privilege, it's a right. The Palestinians must have those rights restored.

    The Jewish community should be proud of you, because of your views and attitude in defending humanity, you can separate the reputation of the Jews because of Zionism from your world view. that Zionism is not the Judaism that Jews adhere to.
    continue to fight together with world citizens in opposing injustice and upholding humanity. May your struggle be a charity that will erase your sins and become a sacrifice of thanks to our one God.
    In fact, the Palestinian war has divided the world into fighters for truth and supporters of tyranny

      Yesterday I watched a video on the France 24 channel about a particular settlement in the West Bank, and it made me think of the US during the time of the KKK.
      They showed really petty behavior like setting fire to crops, taking down the flag of the nearby Palestinian village, angry guard dogs, etc. It looked out of what you imagine to have been happening in 1950s Alabama or something. Just very ugly behavior.

Despite that in hindsight the success of the American Civil Rights Movement seems to have been inevitable, I'm pretty sure it didn't always seem that way.

    • @ahmeda.3198
      @ahmeda.3198 Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@ilirllukaci5345 I agree, and already things are changing. All of this brutality against Palestinians has been happening for decades. I always assumed it was just racism as to why Americans went along with it or ignored it. That may be part of it, but I am also realizing that people truly did not understand what was happening there.
      Americans and people around the world are just now realizing what has been happening and that it has been suppressed or mischaracterized for a very long time.
      I think also that this generation of young people have been exposed to other cultures and are not so susceptible to the xenophobia and caricatures that have been used in the past to justify animosity towards some other group.
      Yesterday I went to the laundromat and saw two different people wearing keffieyehs. One red and white and the other maybe orange and black, I don’t remember. These were not middle eastern people, but I believe they were wearing them as a show of solidarity.
      How many times did this country either conduct or directly support bombing of other people. Even this grotesque war against Vietnam they used napalm and Agent Orange. The people were told it was necessary, and so the people went along with it.
      The younger generation understands that all of this death and destruction is not necessary, but is in fact a profitable business.
      I have so much respect for these young people today. This same brutality has been happening all my life, but within the past few years there has been some ‘critical mass’ of awareness achieved, that people are saying no more and not in my name. It’s incredible to think about how all of this was just businesses as usual until this current generation. I don’t think these people, themselves, even realize that what they are doing is monumental and has shocked so many of us in finally seeing humanity in this group of people who have historically been dehumanized.

      ​@@ahmeda.3198 You said it better than I could have. With one caveat. The United States needs a strong military. And the American military industrial complex is, if you will, a necessary evil. A "necessary evil" , that General Eisenhower, my father's favorite president (and btw apparently no slave to Israel), warned Americans, during the height of the Cold War, could get out of hand.
      But here's the distinction in my mind. These crimes committed by the Israeli government, and our American support for them, is transparently an "unnecessary evil". It is a rare confluence of the immoral and the illegal and the abjectly stupid.
