Naomi Klein: Jews Must Raise Voices for Palestine, Oppose "False Idol of Zionism"

Hundreds of protesters were arrested in Brooklyn on Tuesday when Jewish New Yorkers and allies gathered for what they called a "Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel" on the second night of Passover. The demonstration, held one block away from the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved a $95 billion foreign aid package that includes about $17 billion in arms and security funding to Israel. "Too many of our people are worshiping a false idol," said award-winning author and activist Naomi Klein, one of several speakers at Tuesday's rally. "They are enraptured by it. They are drunk on it. They are profaned by it. And that false idol is called Zionism."

All conscientious peace loving Jewish people must come together to condemn Zionists and Zionism. This is the time they must not be complicit of Palestinian Genocide. I am proud of all the conscientious Jewish people. I am in solidarity with everyone standing against Genocide.
