There is a huge gap between Jews like yourself and vile Hilltop youths, and there is a bewildering number of Jewish groups/identities inbetween. The inhumane treatment of Palestinians is being done "for Jews to be safe" (with full throated support of racist Christians). I am being "antisemitic" right now, and you must be "self hating", but meantime Palestinians are getting torn apart, literally. I share your frustration. I listen mostly to Jewish voices. It's disgusting how powerless Palestinians are, as people like us ponder how to close the gap between Jews who (it seems) have all the power.
Israel makes Jews less safe with every bomb it drops, in Gaza and the West Bank, and in Lebanon, and Syria. I think what we're seeing, in terms of Congressional and White House support of Israel, along with universities that suppress anti-genocide protests, is the consolidated economic power that capitalism produces, and some of that power is inevitably Zionist Jewish. But I have yet to find a Jew of the left (I'm not talking about liberal Jews) who has ever supported Israel's seven-decade-long effort to eliminate Palestinians. I know some liberal Jews who are also against Israel's actions, but it's hit or miss in that group.
So many definitions of Jews! The vocal ones, like the 250 Jews at Trump Tower March 13 chanting "Free Kahli", are the ones I like! That has more impact for Palestine than any other protest. Of course WaPo didn't mention they were Jews!
Palestinians are being torn apart by that violent space between Jewish identities.
What does that mean?
