“History will ask: What did you do to stop the Israeli genocide of Palestinian people? Have an answer.”
—Rabbi Alissa Wise
Out of our own heartache and rage—and so many more feelings in between—my dear co-organizer of the Jewish Anarchist Salon and I pulled this simple, one-sided, 8.5x11 flyer together for downloading, printing, and sharing.
It is obviously incomplete, as is the work of ending occupation, settler colonialism, and fascism, or the powerlessness so many of us feel to be able to halt the bombing of Gaza and end the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinian people. But as Jews and anarchists, we’re leaning into what we can do, such as humbly offering solidarity toward the aspiration of a world without borders and states, without Islamophobia and antisemitism, and especially a world shaped by collective liberation and freedom.
This flyer focuses on some of the funds that seem to be going far more directly and as mutual/material aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, along with the powerful grassroots effort of Israelis refusing to do military service and the ongoing BDS campaign.
Personally, as an anarchist and Jew, I hope we can think and engage through the lens of our ethics of direct action, self-organization, rituals of resistance, mutual aid, abiding solidarity, and rebellious love—until all are free, toward the sacredness of life.
Feel free to share this infographic widely and freely. Once I get figure out how to upload the PDF to some website, I’ll then share that link in my bio. (DM me if you’d like the host the PDF on your website!)
@cbmilstein Read that one of the right wing Israeli politicians actually called Palestinians ‘Canaanites.’
Doesn’t bode well.
I am gussing this is a derogatory word describing Palestinians.
@zleap @cbmilstein It is quite Pentateuch/Torah. As in God/Yahweh/YHWH/Elohim/El, etc said to slaughter all inhabitants of Canaan, the Canannites. Except for the Phillistines - do not slaughter the Phillistines. It only became possible to slaughter Phillistines in Deuteronomy/Mishnah when they magically changed identity from the original Phillistines to the new Phillistines. Which were fine to slaughter.
