Thanks, Jan. It just dawned on me this morning that I haven't seen it said, and I think it needed to be said.

Thank you for this. Whenever I read, see, or hear a brave Jewish voice speaking out against what's happening it stops the bleeding in my soul for a brief moment. You’ve reminded me again. They are truly courageous and good human beings.

I am so appreciative of the education I have received from courageous Jewish commentators and scholars to help me to better understand the history of Israel and the betrayal by Zionists forces of Judaism. Specifically, I thank Katie Halper, Aaron and Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein and the guys at Due Dissidence .

I thank my Jewish friends, who consider themselves humanist, for breaking with zionists in their lives. The hate runs deep.

Absolutely. Many of the people who opened my eyes to the atrocities committed by Israel are Jewish. I joined Jewish Voice for Peace months ago as one of my acts of support (for them and for Palestine).

Yes, thousands of Jewish people ARE demonstrating against Netanyahu's policy. 21 were arrested (according to more recent reports), and police used water cannons to "control" them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Rqewa7Ptw. One of the people blasted by the water was a released hostage: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/released-hostage-blasted-by-police-water-cannon-at-tel-aviv-protest-report/. Fascist thugs rule Israel, and their methods have been seen before.
