    How many American Zionist Jews have ever watched/read an oral history testimony of Palestinians from the Nakba? I am guessing the % is small. While Israel bans commemoration or education of the Nakba, this must be required reading and watching for every American Jew.

    Now at the Knesset: Haredi MK Yaakov Litzman calls “this priest” for fighting for the rights of the Reform community. “Your are not a rabbi, you are a priest,” he tells Kariv, a Reform rabbi. “Remove your kippah. Goy (gentile)… Go to America.” 🤭🙄🤯👎

    The Israeli authorities demolishing a Palestinian home, built illegally because the law of Israeli apartheid denies Palestinians building permits. Ten people lost their home and presumably their savings. Disgraceful and racist policy.
