Jews protesting the horrors Israel's government is perpetrating in Gaza. We are many.
Standing up for humanity is *never* antisemitic. Calling it that distracts from the very real antisemitism we experience.

I've led a student discussion every year since '15 regarding the Shoah Project's AI hologram-ification experiments with Holocaust survivor testimonies. About 80% consistently feel that while they benefited immensely from talks with living survivors, it cheapens the history to have fake avatars.

Honey, I'm not a lib. I'm a leftist. And so many Jews are anti-genocide that there are huge Jewish-led and rabbi-led protests in favor of saving the people of Gaza.
And because language is use, the first is falling out of usage, which is disheartening, but something we have to acknowledge.

The only thing complex about Zionism is that it means two very different things. One is the desire to visit Israel, make aliyah. Nothing wrong with that. The other is the desire to impose Jewish-supremacist rule on that whole area of the world. That's not okay.

The ADL "was founded on the idea that Jewish rights and safety were inextricably linked to the rights of others. Once its primary focus became stopping anti-Zionism, its calculus changed. Its new version of Jewish defense was zero sum and dependent on a conception of a singular Jewish viewpoint"
