Jewish Organizations Are Fighting Back Against Khalil Deportation.
Jewish Organizations Are Fighting Back Against Khalil Deportation.
As the Trump administration weaponizes accusations of antisemitism to justify repression, the Jewish left is rising up.
It was the weirdest thing being raised Jewish in the 1980s
Constantly reminded of the holocaust and to be on alert for fascists.
But then Israel and Zionism?
None of it added up.
“Next year in Jerusalem” my grandparents said this their whole lives.
“Why don’t we just go there?” I would ask
Having Jerusalem wasn’t enough.
They wanted to exterminate Palestinians.
How is that different than the holocaust?
Great that the Jewish communities are speaking up against Trump using them as a reason to deport people... Great.
But where were all the jewish communities' demonstrations about the actions of Israels government in their name?
I know a lot of Jewish people do not support them. But by not speaking up, they are allowing it to keep happening.
They have been. Jewish voice for peace has been protesting Israel since before most people have been born, and most Orthodox Jews have always protested zionism, since it's an anti Jewish religion.
Could more protest? Sure, but that's true of any group. Why did Americans protest American border policy for under trump but not Obama or biden.
The Jewish community has been speaking up. The problem is that the global Jewish community doesn't actually control the Israeli government, so there's only so much that speaking up can do. Also, the population of Israel tend to see things quite differently from American Jews. It's very unfortunate that Jews in Israel do seem to have forgotten the Holocaust...
everywhere I've looked there were Jewish protesting, doing encampments, taking non stop against this.
still plenty of Israelis or zionist being full fash about it, but they should be ignored and let history leave them being and hopefully, they'll get to live in a world that detests them
