One of the most embarrassing things when speaking at a Palestinian demonstration is when people applaud simply because you are Jewish. People take it for granted that most Jewish people support Israel’s war crimes. Unfortunately this is true.
It’s not that Jewish anti-Zionists deserve praise so much as Jews who support genocide carried out in their name deserve condemnation.
That was why I objected to a contest on Twitter to find the top 10 Jews ‘who don’t hate themselves’, the Nazi-style accusation that Zionists deploy against anti-Zionist Jews. It should not be remarkable that Jews should condemn a state which has turned Gaza into a death camp.
It is a sign of the political and moral decay in the Jewish community that creatures like Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Board of Deputies President Phil Rosenberg, are able to claim that British Jews support Israel’s genocide, without any seeming comeback from Jews.
It is a symptom of the amorality of most British Jews that they don’t protest when their self-proclaimed leaders protest in their name against Britain resuming its funding of UNWRA, the UN Agency charged with preventing famine in Gaza. These wretches even complained that Britain was withdrawing its objection at the International Criminal Court to the issuing of arrest warrants for Israel’s war criminal Prime Minister, Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant.
Rosenberg warned that prosecuting war criminals would pose a threat to British national security and that feeding Palestinian children by funding UNWRA would cause irreparable harm to the Zionist cause. ‘Most worryingly of all’ Rosenberg said, ‘is the speculation that Britain may impose an arms embargo on Israel this week.’
