Palestinians have a moral and legal right to resist their own genocide. The fact that their occupiers are Jewish is deeply irrelevant - it is human nature to resist your own annihilation by whomever it is that murders your people, steals your land, and tortures your children.

The framing is incorrect & designed to silence non-Jewish people on 🇵🇸 Zionism is not an intrinsic quality, it’s an ideology that unfortunately most Jews were indoctrinated into. I love Jewish people and despise zionism: More and more Jews abandon Zionism as we learn the truth.

“I don’t hate Jews, I only hate Zionists”. Oh okay. You only hate 95% of Jews. Sorry for confusing you for a full antisemite. You’re almost there.

A Jewish value I was taught growing up was to speak up against injustice even if you’re alone when you do it. The Jewish elder who taught me this has since passed on but I carry her with me when I stand with 🇵🇸 bc I’m crystal clear & unshakeable in the moral imperative to speak.

I see some Jewish folks calling a ‘toning down’ of language like “From the River to the Sea” & even “Zionist” I’m not interested in softening or policing the language of the Palestinian resistance — It centers western feelings over Palestinian freedom & self-determination

I’ve noticed how many fellow white Jewish people expect the world to stop when they claim they are in fear of antisemitism re: Palestine protests I know zero people of color who expect that the world will stop and care about the racism they experience daily. A data point…

Despite the racial diversity of Jews, most media images of Jewish ppl are white & Ashkenazi like me White people are granted 2 things in the public imagination - innocence and context. Compare this to how Palestinians are described. Settler colonialism is always white supremacy

Zionists have been taught a sanitized version of history & reality. I know this because I was also taught it. It’s amusing when Zionists yell at me to “learn my history” as a Jewish anti-Zionist— I was indoctrinated into your ‘history’ and I know each & every colonial lie.

Zionists are lashing out because they can feel the illusion of their false colony crumbling & cracking under the weight of our collective solidarity with Palestine. These are just the violent gasps of dying empire

I have deep respect for the courageous Jewish people who took up arms to resist Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (Intifada), so naturally I have deep respect for the courageous Palestinians who take up arms to resist their fascist Zionist occupiers in this 76+ year genocide.

"The love and positivity...it's just pure here." Israel props us white Jewish women as spokespeople for its propaganda: The west is trained to humanize us as see us as worthy of protection. This is a role white women always play under white supremacy & it enables racist violence

The way fellow white Jewish people keep centering their feelings in this moment is an example of how whiteness has infiltrated our community. Centering your hypothetical fear as Palestinians are on a literal death march dodging bullets & starving…deep disconnection with humanity

This may give context as to why white Jews in your life who you thought were further along in their political consciousness are really not seeing this genocide for what it is We have to break from our childhood Zionist conditioning & rebuild our Judaism through anti-zionism

Jewish folks who are coming into consciousness about Palestine but are worried about losing your Judaic faith - remember that Judaism is much older than the state of Israel We are an ancient, diasporic people and violent zionist nationalism doesn’t define us

Another ex. of Zionist propaganda in 🇺🇸 synagogues is olive trees, which are deeply important to Palestinians. As Jewish kids we would give tzedakah in the form of 💰 to plant trees in Israel on Tu Bishvat. We were told the land was barren. Truth: Israel decimated the olive trees

Zionists are not an oppressed class. They are people choosing to fight for an ideology that’s wiping out entire lineages. I was indoctrinated into Zionism & then became anti-Zionist upon learning the truth about Israel’s violent settler-colony: Zionists can make that choice today

Palestinians should be able to speak about their decolonial struggle without being forced to constantly center antisemitism — Palestinians didn’t choose the identity of their occupiers. Watch this ⬇️

I was indoctrinated into Zionism as a Jewish kid & was Zionist for the 1st part of my life. Then I came to understand what was really happening in occupied Palestine & I became anti-zionist. It’s okay to change your mind & join us in the solidarity movement - we welcome you 🌹

Anti-Zionist Jews do not stand in solidarity with Palestine because we expect anything in return. This is an incredibly white, individualized, transactional way of seeing liberation We stand with Palestine because Palestinians deserve to live in peace on their ancestral homeland
