Jewish students chained themselves to gates at Columbia University Wednesday in support of Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia student protest leader now in an ICE jail in Louisiana. On March 8th, federal agents detained Khalil at his university-owned apartment building, even though he’s a legal permanent resident of the United States. They revoked his green card.
I’m an anti-Zionist because I don’t think Britain had the right to carve up Mandatory Palestine. I don’t think Israel should have been created, but I also think nobody has the right to get rid of them now. There might come a point when the Israeli government is as unsalvageable as the third reich, but just as there’s now Germany where that had been, I don’t think the solution is to just remove the people who are citizens of Israel. I do wish the world were better at enforcing consequences on countries/leaders for bad actions though.
Honestly I think, similar to apartheid south africa, most of the Jewish settlers not there for purely religious regions will either leave once their privileged status is removed or isolate themselves while some choose to attempt assimilation with the native population they removed.
Yeah that’s where I land. A painful and difficult, and slow process of trying to figure out how the hell to heal
Well said
