It’s been a depressing week or so in Israel/Palestine, with over a hundred dead and more than 640 injured according to the Guardian.
How can we stop the disproportionate asymmetrical collective punishment of the Palestinians by Israeli forces?
Surely it’s time we heard from the Jewish community around the world to condemn the Israeli government, in the same way that others have called for the moderate Muslim community to condemn fundamentalist misogyny or acts of terrorism.
Enough is enough; the international Jewish community should be clear where it stands on the brutal war crimes of the self proclaimed Jewish state.
Here’s to a fairer world.
