Naomi Klein denounces “false idol” of Zionism at New York demonstration
Author and journalist Naomi Klein criticised Israel’s war on Palestine and said Zionism is “a false idol that has betrayed every Jewish value” in a speech at a New York demonstration on Tuesday.
Speaking at the demonstration in Brooklyn, where hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers and allies gathered for what they called a "Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel" on the second night of Passover, she called for an “exodus” from Zionism.
“We don’t need or want the false idol of Zionism. We want freedom from the project that commits genocide in our name,” she said.
Hundreds of protesters were arrested at the demonstration, which was held one block away from the home of US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The demonstration came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved a $95bn foreign aid package that includes about $17bn in arms and security funding to Israel.

Too bad that she was criticised by pinchful of anti-genocide types, including some Palestinians like Mr Mohammed el-Kurd simply for her idealism that: `When a child faces the gun, no matter the context, stand for the potential within that child. Not the gun!`
'Offended by everything, ashamed by nothing' has never been so appropriate when describing Israel.

@@exceed.chargeWhite phosphorus is not what G-d meant as a light unto the nations. One thing all literate Jews have in common is a rejection of Zionism. There is a famous Jewish and Christian book against Zionism. In English it's called, "The Book of Jeremiah." This is a prophetic book against Zionism for Christians and Jews alike. If you want to understand why no Zionist is Christian and why no Zionist is Jewish, read Prophet Jeremiah.

@@davidlafleche1142we are not living in Jesus time , we have to do what's right for our generation. Israel could choose to buy instead of forceful taking . Same as Palestine they should have agreed on 1948 state hood and to improve other parts with negotiation. But no! Both side chooses terror . The saddest part is this land has been in war from BC upto now and it might continue way past our generation

But Jacob the Brooklyn Zionist, was, and still remains, a better person than most of his Anglo Saxon Zionist, illegal settler Nazis. He was sympathetic to the Palestinian family who owned the house prior to it being given to him by the thieving Askhenazi Zionist government. He knew, and understands, a state involved crime was committed, but knows the system will not support his view. He found a middle ground he could live with. Weak minded he may be, but he still has a shred of humanity left in him. He still has a chance for change, unlike most illegal European settlers in Palestine, who are totally over the edge, and have no hope, nor chance, to be human again. They are demons who merely look like human beings.
Maasha Allah that was brilliant and touched every one that believe in justice for all
Great speech, God bless you Naomi.
This is the type of intensity, universal message of humanity and broad based involvement of academics, activists, students, etc. that assisted, amongst sanctions, to bring down apartheid in South Africa eventually in 1994. May these initiatives continue to grow consistently to bring down apartheid in Israel.
Respect! This speech brought tears to my eyes, tho' not usually a waterworks factory.
