The play is not about Israel but instead tells the story of a Jewish man preserving his family’s traditions in a village in imperial Russia at the turn of the 20th century. The performance on Monday went ahead as planned after the protest at the cafe.
“This is a performance of Fiddler on the Roof,” they wrote alongside footage of the protesters. “So, if you’re busy condemning racist demonstrations, but not this, & you don’t think they should be prosecuted, stop preening yourself. You’re happy with racism – it’s only the target that you worry about.”
The challenge with the left is that any attempt to call out that antisemitism or those individuals is seen as an attempt to undermine the entire movement.
I would love to see a free and safe Palestine alongside a free and safe Israel. Some will accuse me of being hateful or at least delusional for wishing for peaceful co-existence.
The problem is (until recently) Zionists used soothing words about a two state solution while building illegal settlements in the West Bank and enforcing a brutal apartheid.
The only solution is one state with equal rights for all. But that is the one solution no one in the West is talking about because it goes against the ethno state’s raison d’etre.
If Isreal gets it’s way, it’ll be 1 state, but we won’t like how that sausage gets made.
Yup. The important part of that previous poster’s statement is with equal rights for all. Israel wants one-state but not that part, which is basically what they have now.
The real solution is a no-state solution.
