Anyone acting as though the agony of a Jew doesn’t matter is no different than someone acting as though the agony of a Palestinian doesn’t matter. The same dark heart, the same malfunction. Neither gets to be “right.” The rest of us will forge a better way.

Damn, following RFK Jr. down the rabbit hole of "they're equally culpable". Big let down here Marianne.

What better way have you found? Netanyahu was just boasting on TV that they have the best US war planes coming. To perpetuate an illegal occupation and the bombing of civilians? For the rest of the world, all American politicians are the same.

This is tragic though, as the Palestinians have been waiting since at least '67 for us to come up with such a way. And 75 years since the Nakba as of this year. Unless one injustice is treated at the roots the hearts of us all will keep bleeding. And more blood will be shed

@marwilliamson we’re not happy that violence is occurring against either side. There is a recognition, however, that oppressed people have the right to resist their oppression even by violent means if they deem necessary. Violence and kidnapping happens to Palestinians EVERY DAY.

"There has to be a better way". You know this language better than most. Going forward, toward peace, how would you propose to resolve this. Shouldn't we be looking at the root causes and acknowledge when we acted in isolation? If you were President, what would you do?

Not the agony of a Jew. The agony of a brutal Zionist settler colonialist. Their agony isn't the goal, but they won't stop their brutality & they won't leave. I'd prefer that nonviolence worked. Palestinians tried. It didn't.
If you didn't pay attention in 2018, Gazans attempted mass peaceful protest & civil disobedience and Israel killed 200 and wounded 9000 by sniper fire in response. Highly recommend @AbbyMartin's documentary on it: youtube.com/watch?v=HnZSaKYm…

Anyone acting like the issue with Palestine is Jews being Jewish is lying! American Jews are not Israelis and Israelis are colonizers and a vast majority are racist psychopaths. A military occupation being struck back at by the oppressed is not an attack on Jews.

Decades of israel's crimes against Palestine must be acknowledged. One can not expect the victims of israel's abuses, thefts, & destruction to sit by & simply "take it" - it was inevitable that violence would fall upon israel. They are war criminals & must be judged as such.
