We Are Witnessing A Second Holocaust.


Less than a century after the first Holocaust, this second one is being perpetrated by descendants of victims of the first and is funded by the U.S. taxpayer. There are not "two sides" to genocide. What is unfolding in Gaza is the litmus test of the awakened conscience in 2023. I stand with Jewish Voice for Peace and, above all, with the people of Palestine.

The Litmus Test of an Awakened Conscience


 

The Israelis may have been succeeding with the slow strangulation of the Occupied Territories because a twisted sort of modus vivendi had been reached: the oppression of the Palestinians had been normalized. But the savagery of the IDF's reprisals against the people of Gaza has made it impossible to return to the status quo ante October 27, 2023 (the day the bombing campaign began). 

 

History is the record of unintended consequences: the liberation of Palestine has become the litmus test of an awakened conscience and must be embraced in the same way that ending apartheid in South Africa was embraced by people around the world.

BDS

Many of those who deplore the violence of Hamas and call on Palestinians to engage in non-violent resistance also oppose the non-violent resistance that is BDS. But you can't have it both ways, I'm afraid.

Refuser Solidarity Network


 Youth against Dictatorship, Summer 2023

As young women and men about to be conscripted into Israeli military service, we say NO to dictatorship in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We hereby declare that we refuse to join the military, until democracy is secured for all who live within the jurisdiction of the Israeli government.  

Despite our six months of determined struggle for a genuine democracy that has been waging in the streets almost daily, the government continues to pursue its destructive agenda. We truly fear for our own future, and for the future of all who live here.  

In view of this, we have no choice but to take extreme measures and refuse to serve in the army.  A government that destroys the judiciary is not a government that we can serve.  An army that militarily occupies another people is not an army that we can join.  

The judicial coup has already exerted an enormous price on the Israeli society and on the Palestinian people. The dictatorship that has existed for decades in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is now oozing into Israel proper and is directed against us. Violent settlers now control the entire state. These are not recent developments. Undemocratic attitudes and actions are essential to maintaining this regime of occupation and Jewish supremacy.  The only thing that has changed is that the mask is now off.

Faced with this reality, we say NO!
