Nobody cares how you feel “as a Jew.” I oppose the genocide in Gaza and the cruelty of the Israeli state not “as a Jew,” but as a human being with eyes to see.
Not everything revolves around you, and not everything revolves around our community. Genocide is genocide. Grow up.
Galloway: As a Jew, I find it entirely unfair and not accurate to describe what’s happening in Israel as a genocide.
El-Sayed: When people use dehumanizing language against a people, when they bomb their hospitals and schools, when they attempt to displace them from where they are…that seems to me to be deliberate targeting. So I would ask you, do you understand why somebody who’s been thinking about this question, looking at it, connecting the dots between the language that is used and the outcomes that were created, would then label it that way?
