IMAGE DESCRIPTION ADDED. REBLOG THIS VERSION AND THANK YOU @lab-labrava FOR WRITING IT!
Tumblr media
ID: An infographic from the Instagram account @letstalkpalestine consisting of 10 slides. Image 1: The title page of the infographic. The text says: "Let's talk Anti-Zionist Jewish History." A smaller subtitle underneath the title says: "Jewish solidarity with Palestine until today." End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 2: The infographic continues to the next panel. The text says, "As long as Zionism has existed, so has Jewish resistance to it. While today the majority of Jewish people and communities worldwide still have a Zionist connection, more and more Jewish people, especially from the younger generation, are unlearning Zionism & speaking out. Swipe to learn more about just part of anti-Zionist Jewish history - since there's more than we can fit in 10 slides." A semi-transparent image is overlayed in the background, of someone holding up a sign that reads: Jews for Palestine! #Free Sheik Jarrah. End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 3: Icon of a location tag next to the words Eastern Europe. In large, blue text is the word "The Bund" and the subtitle describing what it is, "A Jewish Socialist movement, established in 1987." The following paragraph says, "Opposing Zionism from the start, its 50-year tenure saw hundred of thousands of members across Eastern Europe advocate for workers' rights and cultivate a Yiddish culture." Location tag and the title, "North America." The paragraph says, "After mass immigration to the US in the early 20th century, [American Jewish Labor groups] (highlighted in chalky blue and bold white text) criticized Zionism for its colonial, nationalist, and bourgeois nature." Next to this text, is a circle with women protestors holding up signs. End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 4: The title, "Middle East and North Africa." The paragraph states, "In 1945 a group of Iraqi Jews founded the Anti-Zionist League. They recognized Zionism as a form of colonialism linked to Western Interests. They hosted events and published pamphlets throughout the Middle East about the difference between Zionism & Judaism. They warned that Zionism is dangerous to Arab Jews, forcing them to split their Arab and Jewish identities, and urged the UN to create a unified Palestinian state.
Tumblr media
Image 5: The panel is titled, "Anti-Zionist Jewish figures." A faded image of Hannah Arendt's visage is in the background. Overlayed on top, the following paragraphs discuss her. "Before 1948, several prominent Jewish leaders and scholars came out in opposition to political Zionism. Writers like Hannah Arendt turned against the Zionist movement and opposed a Jewish state. They correctly predicted a dark future if Zionism continued on the same path in Palestine. End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 6: The day after the Deir Yassin Massacre in 1948, when Zionist militants wiped out the Deir Yassin village & its inhabitants, Albert Einstein wrote: "When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations built up from our own ranks. I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people." The former paragraphs are imposed against a tan, parchment fragment, in typewriter font, and the letter ends with Sincerely yourn, Albert Einstein, both his signature and typed name. End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 7: Titled "Anti Zionism Today." Blue sketchy image of someone's hand gripping jail bars breaks up the following paragraphs which say: Jewish solidarity with Palestinians is growing around the world, including even some Israelis who take the basic step of refusing Israeli military service. As punishment, Israel imprisons these conscientious objectors — but unlike Palestininas, they have a fair trial & often severe relatively short sentences of a few months . This is a first step towards solidarity and has the real consequence of depriving the occupation state of its soldiers. End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 8: Titled "Israel's Crackdown on Jewish Anti-Zionism" Behind this text are a picture of handcuffs. In the corner is a picture of Jonathan Pollak. The following text says: Jonathan Pollak is a Jewish Israeli and long-time anti-Zionist activist. Israel has detained him several times, most recetly in January as he protested with Palestinians in Beita, (a Palestinian village) for allegedly throwing stones. Jonathan has been violently attacked for his activism. In 2018, Jonathan was slashed across the face by settlers who ambushed him outside his workplace. Earlier, in 2005, Israeli soldiers shot a tear gas canister. directly at him, causing internal bleeding in his brain." End ID.
Tumblr media
Image 9: Semi-transparent image of an umbrella behind the title text is "Jewish Anti-Zionism isn’t one ideology. It’s an umbrella movement that encapsulates multiple communities and beliefs towards decolonizing Palestine. Some motivations or Jewish anti-Zionism include: 1. Pursuing millenia of Jewish tradition as a diasporic community 2, Detachibng religious and cultural tradition from political nationalism. 3. Socialist visions of a Jewish Society. 4. Believing in the right to self-determination for Palestinians Standing up to Zionism is: 1. Standing up to apartheid and colonization. 2. Standing up for a liberated, equal, and just Palestine from the river to the sea.
Tumblr media
Image 10: An ending quote, and call to action, by the Anti-Zionist League. It says: "Jewish Men! Jewish Women! Zionism wants to throw us into a dangerous & hopeless adventure. Zionism contributes to making Palestine uninhabitable. Zionism wants to isolate us from the Egyptian people. Zionism is the enemy of the Jewish people. Down with Zionism! Long live the brotherhood of Jews and Arabs!" --The Anti-Zionist League. End ID.

I keep seeing zionists say “there was a ceasefire on October 6th”
A ceasefire for who exactly? Before October 7th over 230 Palestinians were killed by the IOF in the West Bank in 2023, over 200 were killed in 2022, over 300 in 2021 and that doesn’t consider the attempt to annex Sheik Jarrah in East Jerusalem and I could go on and on and on and on
This is why these self righteous “there was a ceasefire on October 6” claims are ridiculous and dishonest
The “peace” that existed on October 6th was a peace that insured the safety of Israelis at the continued violent expense of Palestinians
But since they don’t see Palestinians as human beings and do not care when they are arbitrarily murdered they gloat about this “ceasefire” that existed prior to October 7th that ultimately was just a ceasefire for Israelis
There would be no Israeli state without the violent and murderous repression of Palestinians that has been ongoing for 75+ years before October 7 when there was a quote on quote “ceasefire”

The Anti-Defamation League has called Mohammed El-Kurd an “unvarnished, vicious antisemite.” Yet in spite of widely available evidence attesting to his prominence as a hatemonger, Mount Royal University in Canada chose to award the writer with the 2023 Calgary Peace Prize.
Now the International Legal Forum (ILF) has sent a letter urging the reversal of this decision.
It said: “His past statements go above and beyond any acceptable criticism of Israel, principles of free speech or the advancement of Palestinian rights. Instead, they represent an unhinged display of bigotry, use of antisemitic tropes and both the incitement and glorification of violence.”
ILF further pointed out how El-Kurd’s statements violated the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.
Some of the statements El-Kurd has made over the years include calling Zionists “sadistic barbaric neo-Nazi pigs” who have “completely internalized the ways of the Nazis.” He also said that he fantasized about this fate: “I hope every one of them dies in the most torturous & slow ways. I hope that they see their mothers suffering.”
El-Kurd is a Palestinian writer and poet based out of Sheik Jarrah in eastern Jerusalem.
According to the Calgary Peace Prize site, in 2021, He was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine.

Erev Yom Kippur 24.9.2023
....Yesterday at Sheik Jarrah was one of the most  violent demonstrations I have seen there. At Balfour I saw violence but this was in a very concentrated period and I was right next to it.  I have often seen police violence but today at Sheikh Jarrah was the worst in a long time. As we walked from the car, I said to Varda  about the police  "You can see that they are gearing up to attack ''" and before we got there, a whole pack of them descended into the crowd to grab a Palestinian flag which someone had painted on a piece of cardboard. There were more police there than had been for a long time and also a bunch of gorillas in plain clothes. You could see by their body language that they were looking for any excuse to attack. And they did. 
I saw them throwing down two women to the ground.
 But I was careful not to get caught up in one of the attacks . But  what happens is that suddenly the police decided to attack one person in particular and go into the crowd like bulldozers pushing anyone aside or to the ground who they think are in their way ,. and one of my friends was  pushed by them as they tried to get past to get a flag and knocked her head badly on a boulder. When the police came past and we were helping her you could see the happy smiles on their faces. .When I saw the surge was coming towards me, I got into a sort of niche and a Palestinian stood before me but they did not reach us.
When I looked at the police and their undercover provocateurs, I had  this horrible thought. That I could see them in the SS.
We have Jews who want to build the third temple. The Germans wanted to build the Third Reich. Is this what we have become?
I have to keep looking at this placard which someone sent. The day of memory and Holocaust day.  And then I think but what sort of Israel will I leave behind me. 
At the one place next to a Palestinian house there is a stone bench on which I can sit and suddenly a guy came up to me and handed me spectacles. I thought someone must have dropped them so I tried to put them somewhere safe in my rucksack but afterwards he came and told me that they were  his and I was the safest place he could leave them. Only thing is afterwards I saw the police charging into the crowd where he was although he did not have a sign or anything and grabbed him, throwing him to the floor and I think they arrested him...for no reason whatsoever. I don't know what happened to his glasses. I always wear an old pair when I go to a demo. 
See the video below. The guy in the green is the one who asked me to look after his glasses. But it will also show you the violence of the police
Last night at the Saturday demonstration I sat next to a 89 year old woman who said that even in 1948 things had not been so bad. I am so sick at all that is happening here. I don't understand how all these settlers and people on the right who support the assassin, Yigal Amir, and the murdered of the family at Doma can go to shul to repent. 
These are two of the signs last night...the one saying that our young men should not be serving in the occupied areas and another a little girl who sat in the road chalking the sign which said, "I have love and it will win." I wish I could be so sure.  
I keep thinking back to the siren going off 50 years ago/  I was with friends in Tel Aviv and we were so sure it was a glitch. In fact Elisheva had just said that she was going to warm the lunch (we don't fast) and being Yom Kippur, I said to her, "Eli. I think God must have heard you"  Only when we came out of the front door and all the neighbours were down there and they said to us that we were at war did we realise what was happening. Don't forget that being Yom Kippur no one thought of putting on a radio. My friend said.,"I forgot to do the washing." and her husband said to her, "Don't be a damn fool. By night we could be refugees"

The only reason why Israel has been able to get away with their crimes so far is because of lack of coverage and their image in western media. Keep posting about it.

Bella Hadid: I feel a deep sense of pain for Palestine and for my Palestinian brothers and sisters today and everyday. watching these videos physically breaks my heart into 100 different pieces. You cannot allow yourself to be desensitized to watching human life being taken. You just can't. Palestinian lives are the lives that will help change the world. And they are being taken from us by the second. #FreePalestine

zayn: I stand with the Palestinian people and support their resistance to colonization and protection of their human rights. My heart aches for the families who have lost loved ones. We can not stand as silent witnesses to children being orphaned and murdered and not demand for the human rights of all Palestinians! This must end. Free Palestine.

Memorial day part 2
---------- Forwarded message ---------
      There were two things which happened at the joint Memorial day which made me feel better. It was hard because of my leg and the thousands of people that were at the ceremony. Since last Saturday my leg completely seized up and I was really depressed and it was very hard to walk. The first good thing that happened was when suddenly I heard someone calling me and it was my friend, Phyllis from Machsom. For  years we had gone out together and I had spent quite a few weekends at their place. It was great as they have spacious grounds so that you really feel you can breathe. But then came the corona and though lately I had tried to make a connection again. I thought maybe I had offended them in some way. But it was Phyllis calling me. Amazing how with all these thousands of people we ran into one another. In Yiddish I guess it would be said that it was beschert. Anyhow I saw that Davied was also walking with a cane and being helped. I saw all these long lines moving very slowly  and wondered how on earth we were going  to manage.
 Then suddenly I heard someone calling me....I often find that people know me and I have no idea who they are...and she called me to come where she was opening the barrier for me. So we all went in in a much easier way. The guard did not seem happy about it and she said to him, "Natanya is the mother of all us." Don't get me wrong. I don't have an exaggerated opinion of myself but it made me feel very good. Obviously it was nonsense. Those who know me and remember me are from Balfour or Sheik Jarrah and they are probably an infinitesimal percent of the people of that night but it lets me feel that I am doing something by being there. We were also led to the front of the audience and we were brought chairs which also made things so much easier. But for most of the evening as  I wrote I was in tears.
 At least this time the Bibists were kept away from us. I noticed though that we were sitting very near the barrier and that on the other side there were high trees. I was taken back to the evening Emil Greenschweig was killed by a grenade and thought  how easy it would be for anyone to climb a tree and throw a grenade at us. Not a new thought for me and afterwards I heard someone saying the same thing. There is no symmetry. I have seen people on the right standing with their signs called us traitors, etc. just as the Bibists were screaming at us. I have never seen them being attacked. But no one is surprised when they hear of a car stopping and people getting out to attack us. 
 And yesterday was also bad. My friend who was attacked by the Bibists at the cemetery is still in shock. How can Jews say to Jews.....pity Hitler did not get  you, go back to Auschwitz .....they are worse than the Nazis ever were.
 Then last night I went to the alternative ceremony for lighting the torches. As of last year the authorities did not allow us to hold the ceremony at the plaque for Emil Greenschweig who was assassinated by someone on the right sent by Netanyahu and his coterie. Not enough that they assassinated him but for the last two years they have not allowed us to hold the ceremony in the logical place. Instead we held the ceremony in the middle of the street. Really not suitable and not dignified but somehow we managed. And I say that  I hope that the memory of those who brought us to this should be the way they will be remembered too....maybe not even remembered. 
 I would have liked to go to the demonstration against Netanyahu and Har Herzl but two of my friends were lighting torches. This is a photo of those of us who belong to the Combatants for Peace. 
  Today I went with Varda and her family on a barbeque and found I could still laugh. But when the fly past came and everyone was ooing and aaing, I could only think how in previous years I had felt such pride and how we had rushed to go to the parade in Jerusalem. 
 As far as our mealy mouthed president is concerned, read below the editorial below. Of course he would say that he admires Netanyahu. He was very probably elected knowing that if the latter was brought to trial and convicted he would give him a pardon. By the way it was great that two girls won the award for the Biblical quiz over the boys in the group.
 I am curious to see what happens this evening with millions who are said to be coming to the demonstration in support of the new laws. Not hard for them. They have most of the religious in their pockets. Unlike our demonstrations, all they have to do is ask the rabbis to send out a call. I am sure  they will come out but in my opinion many of them are captive to their rabbis and illegal outpost
 This came through on Memorial day...so fitting

People who have never been to Israel and/or Palestine should be banned from talking about the conflict. Honest to god the last thing Israelis and Palestinians need is an ignorant Westerner coming in and telling them what's best or what's right. Like, if y'all really believe in decolonisation as what's 'right' you'd know that the British started the conflict and Americans perpetuated it. Don't believe me? Gee I wonder why, but it's probably because you're a white xtian westerner. Sheik Jarrah used to be a Yemenite Jewish neighborhood under the Ottoman Empire until, in British Mandatory Palestine, Britain incited violence and encouraged thugs to drive out the Yemeni Jews as part of their political ploy to divide the holy land's peoples as a way of gatekeeping peace and being able to keep ahold of the holy land. Oh but please go off and blame Israel for everything. It's not like there are no other countries today that are still suffering from the lasting effects of the British Empire... 🙄🙄🙄 Don't let politics get in the way of understanding the real perpetrators of this violence. White Christians and their historic influence over the last century is the only reason that Israelis and Arabs don't live in peace today.
To put this situation in perspective, it's as if Israel and Palestine were two people arguing in court and the real perpetrator of the argument, the one who incited the disagreement, is sitting in the jury stand.
