I’m Jewish. I want a ceasefire in Gaza. | Edge of Sports

On Oct 18, hundreds of Jewish activists were arrested after staging a sit-in at the US Capitol to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. Dave Zirin, who joined the sit-in, explains why he did so in this special edition of ‘Choice Words.’

    That was most likely the plan but somehow the IDF didn't calculate the outcome, more Israelis died than was intended. Netanyahu's government is a fascist one willing to put their own people at risk to meet their objective, to take over all of Gaza and the West Bank once and for all.

    There's nothing anti-semetic about pointing out that a minority ethnic group is killing off the majority population for nothing more than power and greed. Speak your mind. Conformity is broken when one person stands up and speaks the truth. Scientific studies actually confirm this social theory as well. Good luck!

    Thank you so much for expressing my thoughts and feelings exactly. It's been so lonely out here. It's essential to understand that Zionism is not Judaism. To criticize it is not anti-semitic. That label is meant to shut people up. It is gaslighting, and no one should fall for it. To speak out against genocide is not anti-anyone. It's a plea for humanity, for justice and for sanity.

    I would like to ask a simple question, if anyone has a home and rights in a land would choose to live or spend it for wasting to get/secure it in propangandized holy land?? There is no such thing as Holy , it is all about a life which one has and the choice to live it or waste. It is where you have rights without any fear that land is home that is all. If one needs to be protected by heavy security means it has no freedom at all ,it lives under constant fears. Heavily militarized nations generate no sense of comfort and Peace as it does not come by that. Justice and Law are not relative, couldn't be.
