Why are we being asked to choose between standing with innocent Palestinians in Gaza or innocent Israelis held in captivity? "If your moral compass is attuned to the suffering of only one side, your compass is broken, and so is your humanity." I first shared these words from Nicholas Kristof 10 months ago. Sadly, they still ring true today. Hatred and violence will never create sustainable security. Safety and freedom can only be achieved through peacebuilding efforts to address the root causes of the conflict, not military force. #CeaseFireNow —— -I'm a DEIB consultant, coach, and speaker passionate about helping leaders build trust, bridge polarization, and strengthen teams. -Hate has no home here.

𝙒𝙝𝙮, 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞-𝙯𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞-𝙯𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙? It seems that many Pro-Palestinans seem to think they can redefine anti-Zionism without anyone noticing.. Conflating Zionism with politics. No minority should have its identity dictated to it and we, who would know define 𝙕𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙. It is not a political ideology it does not stiputlate how the Jewish State should be governed (which is what a political ideology does) 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙖 𝙅𝙚𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩. It doesn't dictate borders, or the makeup of the population. Now you don't have to support Zionism, but if you are an anti-zionist, if you are against the Jews having a state, then you are against Jews. Period. And by redefining what Zionism means is just a lying in an attempt to cover one's anti-semitism. Here are a few of the lies people tell themselves (and others) to justify their antizionism. 1️⃣ Israel is a colonialist state... LIE 𝙄𝙨𝙧𝙖𝙚𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮. Against all odds after Arab imperialism Islamic conquest and British colonialism the Jews indigenous to Judea reestablished in Israel Jews have live in Jerusalem long before Yassar Arafat (who was born in Cairo created Palestinian national identity in 1964) 2️⃣ the lie of ethnic cleansing in 1948, when five Arab armies and the local Arab population attacked the fledgling state of Israel with the stated intention of annihilating its people. 700,000 Arabs escaped the fighting those that remained became Israeli citizens. The Arab population of Israel has increased 10 X. 3️⃣ the lie of apartheid because those Arabs that remained in Israel,now 20% of its population are the only free Arabs in the Middle East they are represented in every area of Israeli society as Mayors, army officers. police commanders, and members of parliament and the Supreme Court. The same supreme court where under under Salim Joubran put both an Israeli Prime Minister and a president in jail. Conflating Arab citizens of Israel with Arabs living under the Palestinian Authority. 4️⃣ the libel of genocide the reprehensible smear that maliciously accuses the Jews of perpetrating the very crimes committed against them Oct 7 which was the latest in a long history of genocidal acts by Arabs against Jews in the Middle East 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮, #Genocide is the latest modern blood libel that antisemites use to justify their anti-Zionism and it is central to the Hamas’s war strategy today. Whose only aim is to survive and to achieve this with International pressure on the Jews to cease their self-defense.

Let's talk about apartheid, colonialism and genocide. Gaza has about two million residents, all of whom are Muslim except for 2,000 Christian residents. If by mistake an Israeli or Jew arrives in Gaza he is immediately murdered, lynched or kidnapped. Most of the residents of Gaza are originally refugees from surrounding Arab countries, mainly from Egypt but not only. They are an avowed imperialist arm of Iran that aspires to establish an all-Islamic state. The one who controls Gaza is Hamas, which has an extreme Muslim ideology and formulated in its charter the destruction of the State of Israel as a central motif. We saw that this is not descriptive, the Gazans also attempted to commit genocide on the seventh of October. The Palestinian idea was formulated about fifty years ago to claim ownership of Israel and to assist in the destruction of the State of Israel. The situation in the territories of the Palestinian Authority is not very different, except that Hamas is not in control. What is happening in the State of Israel? The State of Israel is a state that was established on the historical native lands of the people of Israel. In Israel the population is diverse and has different races and origins, there are people of African origin, Arab countries, Yemen, Ethiopia, Iraq, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egyptians, Syria, North America, South America, Baltic countries, Europe, Ukraine, Russia and from all over the world . About 20% Arabs live in Israel, who are citizens with equal rights. Until the seventh of October, Palestinians with permits entered Israel to work and to receive medical treatment, they never feared being lynched by a bloodthirsty mob. If you look at the facts, the Palestinians and not Israel are the perpetrators of genocide, acting as an apartheid regime and part of an Arab imperialist colonialist plan.

Israel and its terrorist regime continues its crimes against humanity. The genocide happening in Palestine, Lebanon, and across the region is nothing short of a systematic attack on innocent lives, cultures, and faiths. From targeting Muslim and Christian communities to displacing entire populations, Israel’s actions have reached a level of inhumanity that can only be described as terrorism. We shall never forget the innocent souls lost in Lebanon and Gaza—the mothers, fathers, children, and elderly who died for simply existing on their land. The world should be furious, just as I am, at the cold-blooded massacres committed by this terrorist regime. This isn’t just a Palestinian or Lebanese issue; this is an issue that affects all of humanity—across nations, races, and faiths. Today, we send our deepest condolences to every single family grieving the loss of their loved ones at the hands of Israeli aggression. Special condolences to the soul of the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who stood firm in the face of Israel’s oppression and fought for justice. May every victim of Israel’s brutality rest in peace, and may we never stop fighting for a world where this kind of terrorism is finally brought to an end. Enough is enough. Justice for Palestine. Justice for Lebanon. Justice for humanity.

Tik tok did not change my opinion on Israel, Palestinians did not change my mind on Israel. Israelis celebrating war crimes and calling for genocide changed my mind about Israel. Studying the holocaust and other genocides throughout history changed my mind about Israel. Studying international law, the Geneva convention, and US Leahy laws changed my mind on Israel. Americans under 45 saw what the "war on terror" did to our service members(our fathers, sisters, mothers, brothers, and closest friends) after 9/11. PTSD and disabled if they did come home, nightmares about killing families, children. No mental care available to them, no housing assistance. They wished more than anything they could go back in time and not join the war. The children of these veterans are the ones protesting and saying never again means never again for anyone. The children of these veterans will not sign up for or condone war, because while politicians and companies see in an increase in profit, families at home bare their cost of those profits with their lives, their happiness, their future. The human cost of war has been ignored by our elders and we will not continue the cycles of violence and hatred that fuel the unbearable cost of human life. The US says we can't afford to stop our war machine, but the future generations that will lead America and vote in the next generation of leaders say we can't afford to continue this way. The world cannot afford for us to continue this way. We will not be silent and we will not be complicit. If our leaders will not change with us, then we will change our leaders.
