American Jews need Israel to be safe — megadonor Paul Singer

Awake Goy

Daniel Gordis is correct, 1967 was the transitional point. For me, at least, because prior to that war I’d been kind of a nominal supporter of Israel. Then along came the 1967 War, jolting my senses with all this crap about macho Israel (& what this supposedly represented) vs the dumb and hapless A-rabs. The racist content was unmistakable. Immediately my thoughts were like “Oops, what a sucker I’ve been”, and ever since then I’ve been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause. Enough of a supporter, that is, to serve as a volunteer with the Palestinian Red Crescent during the ’82 US-backed Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

If the above marks me as a traitor or self-hating Jew, so be it, but from growing up during WWII (thereby, from afar, experiencing the Holocaust, along with, here in America, witnessing Jim Crow), somehow it’s turned out that when a decision has to be made re: on whose side, oppressed or oppressor, invariably I side with the oppressed,

Yes, even when the oppressors happen to be of the Jewish persuasion.
