All those unsounded vows and immoral oaths . . . are null and void

Kol Nidrei on Yom Kippur is one of the unruliest, most liberating, and anarchic Jewish texts. It is our heritage of refusal. We need it today, more than ever, to liberate ourselves from the curse of Zionism that colonized our diverse Jewish worlds.

The slow strangulation of truth

Over the years I’ve learnt to chew and walk at the same time. It’s taken a while, but I think I’ve mastered it. Being able and willing to condemn the actions of Hamas, and criticising Iran while also condemning the callousness of Israel’s incursions into Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon is something I think most reasonable people can and should do.

In recent days I’ve been stunned by the number of commentators who seem utterly incapable of entertaining this wider view. Surely international law, justice and humanity should be the yardsticks by which we judge the actions of the governments and nation states? You can’t be selective about this, – can you? Yet sadly, people are.

You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel’s colonisation of Palestine

Everyone can see it. The bags of children, the bound and executed doctors, the flattened civilisation; the genocidal language of Israeli leaders, the moonscape of rubble and sinews that was once Gaza, the dehumanised humans tormented along their journey to erasure. It is the wrong question to ask – too naive, too much assuming the best of self-serving vampires. 

You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel’s colonisation of Palestine

The more revealing question is asking why they refuse to say it after having seen it, too.

Israel does not have a right to defend itself, as our PM keeps saying

srael has no right of self-defence against resistance to the illegal occupation. Israel cannot both occupy Palestinian lands, and then launch an attack on those lands by citing ‘self-defence’ when occupied populations resist. Neither can Israel treat those resisting in occupied territories as enemy combatants.

“Acceptance” of Israel’s extreme brutality and “concern” at the slaughter of Palestinians are irreconcilable

Netanyahu dismisses President Joe Biden’s suggestions and Anthony Blinken’s advice with scorn, preferring instead to take the Middle East to the brink of war, sure in his belief that the US is powerless to apply sanctions, cut off arms and demand a ceasefire.

Israel is certain that the US will not permit it to fail.
