And justice would also be the end of the Israeli state. There must be one unified Palestine from the river to the sea. All Jews that immigrated there after the Balfour declaration, and all their descendants, should go back to their countries of origin. I say this as an American Jewish person who has been against Israel and Zionism from the start.
I wish I had some words that mean something. After all this time of watching, following, protesting, making phone calls, educating as many as we can, signing petition after petition, sharing posts, shaking from fear for the people, standing in Solidarity on our street corners every week for over a year we are now wordless. By that I mean we have no words left to describe how we feel. We continue to do what we can and will not stop. But please know that so many of us are not accepting , or grateful for this quasi-ceasefire either. Free Palestine is not just a chant for us but a belief.
I do not think the political objective is peace. It never has been. I am sorry to say that the objective is extermination. Not just of Palestinians, but of refugees around the world. Of Gazans, first.
You should know that many of us are not indifferent. We simply do not have the power to save you, no matter how much we wish to. Myself, I never imagined a present and future as terrible as what you are going through. Apologies won't help you, but they are all we have. We continue to try and fail, meanwhile.
I pray I am wrong. And I have never prayed before in my life until I met all of you. May Allah protect you all.

I'm so sorry. My criminal government (US) does not care what we think or want. We continue to try to fight their pathology. 🫂
After Trump's press conference with Netanyahu today, my hope is that Americans are ready to escalate.
As silly as it is, it was stated pretty succinctly in the Hunger Games. To the fascists that be: If we burn, you burn with us.
Today someone asked Trump if he thought he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. He said yes, but it would not be granted to him. I am not so sure.
