BEING JEWISH AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF GAZA :
A RECKONING
https://www.islamicity.org/105355/being-...erer=ecast
In a world saturated with opinions and headlines, few conversations cut through with raw honesty and moral urgency. This one does. It asks a question many are afraid to confront:
Can Israeli Jews ever truly be safe if Palestinians continue to suffer under apartheid and military siege?
The answer lies not just in headlines, but in lived reality-starvation in Gaza, legal supremacy, occupation, and the growing moral weight of complicity. This article explores the core of this crisis through an unfiltered lens, revealing how justice and security are not opposing goals, but fundamentally linked.
1. Speaking Out Is Not Betrayal-It's Responsibility
When speaking up against the atrocities in Gaza, many progressive Jews and allies are met with accusations of being anti-Semitic or endangering the Jewish state. But the opposite is true: staying silent as Palestinian civilians are starved, bombed, and stripped of human dignity is what truly endangers Israel's future.
As one commentator stated powerfully:
"Netanyahu, with the definition of anti-Semitism, would probably have to bomb himself."
Criticizing injustice is not an attack on Jewish identity-it's a defense of Jewish ethics.
2. Safety Is Shared: The Fate of Palestinians and Israeli Jews Is Intertwined
There's no lasting safety for Israeli Jews if Palestinians live under oppression. Israel's own human rights organizations have called its control over Palestinian territories apartheid.
"Palestinians can't be safe unless they're free."
Children in Gaza who grow up under siege, witnessing death and starvation, are not just collateral damage-they are the future voices of a deeply wounded region. And how they are treated will shape how they respond to the world.
3. The Jewish Ethos Is About Survival and Justice-Not Supremacy
Jewish holidays like Passover, Hanukkah, and Purim tell stories of survival. But these stories, when sanitized, risk ignoring the full truth. The Talmud and the Torah depict Jewish people not just as victims but also as potential oppressors-capable of both good and harm.
"Part of recognizing us as fully human is recognizing that we are capable of being victims and victimizers."
True Jewish identity demands moral accountability, not blind nationalism.
4. The U.S. Role: Complicity Must Be Confronted
It's not just about Israel. The United States has funded, shielded, and empowered Israeli military action-often in direct contradiction to international law.
Eight months before this article was written, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Netanyahu for the war crime of starvation. The U.S. responded by attacking the court instead of supporting justice.
"It's worse than just not stepping in. It's our weapons that are enforcing this siege."
If the U.S. has the leverage to fund this war, it also has the power to stop it.
5. Non-Violent Palestinian Resistance Has Been Crushed Too
Critics often argue that Palestinians must use peaceful methods to achieve change. But when they have-from peaceful marches in Gaza to international legal action-the response has been bullets, silence, or sanctions.
"We essentially send the message to Palestinians that ethical protest doesn't work."
This only strengthens extremist narratives and organizations like Hamas. When peaceful resistance is criminalized, violence becomes the last resort for the unheard.
6. Occupation Is Not a Negotiating Partner
The power imbalance between Israel and Gaza cannot be framed as a fair fight. One side has an army, drones, and global support. The other is an occupied, blockaded population with limited resources.
"The occupying power cannot dictate the terms of freedom for the people they occupy."
It's not a war. It's a siege. And international law demands more than just condemnation-it demands action.
7. Moderates Were Crushed, Too
When Palestinians elected moderate leaders like Salam Fayyad, those leaders were ignored and undermined. Meanwhile, Israel expanded settlements, emboldened settlers, and sabotaged peace efforts.
"Salam Fayyad said: I did everything they wanted. I couldn't stop settlement growth for a single day."
This systemic failure pushed people toward radicalism-not because they wanted it, but because hope was methodically stripped away.
True Peace Means Freedom for All
Justice for Palestinians is not an obstacle to Jewish safety-it's the only path to it. The world's silence, especially from nations like the United States, only deepens the tragedy. We must demand accountability, dignity, and an end to the cycle of violence that dehumanizes both sides. Until Palestinians are free, Israeli Jews won't be truly safe. And until we all recognize that simple truth, the suffering will continue.
