Mark Zuckerburg took down Sean King’s page today from Instagram because of what he has been sharing from contacts inside Gaza.
The same groups who oppose the war in Gaza today and are calling for a ceasefire are the EXACT SAME GROUPS which actively trafficked Jews out of Nazi Germany and were involved on the underground railroad. The American Friends Service Committee, Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, and Jewish Voices for Peace are those same organizations. While there have been some changes in organizational structure over the last 160 years there is a very clear line of descent from the organizations which were active on the Underground Railroad and were actively moving Jews out of Nazi Germany and the organizations calling for a ceasefire today.
The marches on the ground today in New York City calling for a ceasefire are being led by Synagogues who have members who I know, unlike Benjamin Netanyahu, had family in the Holocaust.
We are the same families. I have family records in my house right now tracing back that far. I have DNA which proves it beyond a doubt.
The people being silenced right now are the exact same people who are the loudest at decrying anti-Semitism, and if there was an attempted genocide of Jews, Sean King would be one of the very first people to decry it. The UUSC and AFSC were two of only a handful of organizations which actively worked to help Holocaust victims. I cannot stress enough how the people who are defending Palestine are the people who were literally trained by people who were the most vocal critics of Hitler.
The Venn diagram of organizations which truly support the rights of Palestinians to exist and organizations which oppose Nazism is a circle.
Zionism is not Judaism. While some Jews are Zionists, many are not. Modern-day Zionism is founded more from Evangelical Christianity in the early 19th century which then penetrated into some Jewish organizations. Many Jewish organizations today are still not Zionist. This is what I have learned not just from research but from a sermon given by the Rabbi from the Synagogue my Universalist congregation is in covenant with.
Netanyahu does not speak for the Jewish faith.
Listen to the Underground Railroad.
Listen to Holocaust victims.
Ceasefire now.
