What can you tell us about the Jewish solidarity with Gaza that you’ve witnessed on the campaign trail? >From the very start, you had Jewish Voice For Peace out there with the >students at the campus protests. At Columbia University, there was a huge >community Seder for Passover at the Gaza solidarity encampment. It’s wonderful >to see that the opponents of genocide and advocates for Palestinian human >rights are basically advocates for humanity, and they’ve made it clear that >this is not a religious conflict. Jews and Muslims and Christians and atheists >and humanists are all together in this shared cause for humanity, so the >notion that it’s antisemitic to oppose genocide, in my view, is the most >antisemitic thing one could possibly say. The issue has never been a conflict of religions; the issue is a matter of Zionism, which is a political ideology basically dedicated to moving people off their land and claiming it. From the get-go, it’s been about ethnic cleansing and massacres that were being conducted against the Palestinian people before the State of Israel was even founded. The world has come to a consensus about how to solve that problem, including the rulings of the International Court of Justice, the United Nations Security Council, etc. People are really quite unified in understanding what needs to be done — we need compliance with international law and human rights, and we need to end not only the genocide but also the occupation as well as the apartheid nature of the Israeli Zionist state. You were born not long after the Nazi Holocaust, so you remember a world in which Israel existed for decades before Hamas did. How central is Hamas truly to the turmoil in Palestine today? Not at all. Hamas is just the latest form of resistance. Occupation is not some innocent incidental; it is about abuse and displacement. It is a murderous and vicious way of life, so occupation will generate pushback, like the institution of slavery did. That’s just reality — people may not like that, but if you don’t like that, then you have to fix the underlying cause of it. The Palestinian Liberation Organization were considered the “terrorists” before Hamas, but this is all essentially a resistance to occupation and ethnic cleansing. Christians, Jews and Muslims lived together peacefully in historic Palestine for millennia. The problem did not arise until Zionists came from Europe and basically began to displace Palestinians. According to the historic archives of the Zionist state, the propaganda surrounding Israel was not true. Israeli historians led the way in surfacing this material and the fact that Zionism was a system of displacement and ethnic cleansing by design. That is the problem. Whether it’s Hamas or some other group, there will be resistance to occupation and ethnic cleansing, so let’s get rid of that resistance by getting rid of the fundamental violation of human rights generating that self-defense. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
