Israel, Palestine, USA and White Supremacy

" The supposed campaign against anti-Semitism, interpreted as any statement that is critical of the State of Israel or denounces the genocide, is in fact the championing of White Power. It is why the German state, which has effectively criminalized support for the Palestinians, and the most retrograde white supremists in the United States, justify the carnage. Germany’s long relationship with Israel, including paying over $90 billion since 1945 in reparations to Holocaust survivors and their heirs, is not aboutatonement, as the Israeli historian Ilan Pappé writes, but blackmail.

Here I am in my little house with my little words, outraged yet unable to find something I can do with the power I have to combat the hatred and violence in our world.

I am not alone. This system set up from the beginning of our patriarchal, capitalist, has preached the words assigned to a Palestinian Jew for the ones who have the least power while those who have the most continue to believe and behave like well dressed polished monsters. 

Classism, racism, religion, keep us believing we are isolated units competing for the top position, while the rest of us are entertaining ourselves to death.

There have been great philosophers and great thinkers whose names we have never heard, whose writing we have never read, whose songs we have never heard, whose real beauty never photographed. All around our society has dismissed the beauty they didn't create because its not useful for their bank account.

Where is the answer? How will we learn to love and honour life more than things? By doing it even when we don't get any recognition for giving birth, for feeding and providing warmth to what comes out of the womb, what is learned through libraries of text and hours of classes, to allow for the flooding of tears, to acknowledge the pain of millions.

We are not in control. We are the choir. We are the observers. The silent poets. Mothers and fathers, grandparents, aunts and uncles of the wailing never ending opera that is life, and that will, without our help become extinct.

To save the Jews we must save the hearts and voices of all. We must acknowledge our feelings, bless our tears, speak inclusively, listen intently and love with abandon.
