"The demonstration, held one block away from the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved a $95 billion foreign aid package that includes about $17 billion in arms and security funding to Israel."

“'At the core of the Passover story is that we cannot be free until all people are free,' Beth Miller, the political director of Jewish Voice for Peace, told Democracy Now! 'The Israeli government and the United States government are carrying out a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, over 34,000 people killed in six months in the name of Jewish safety, in the false name of Jewish freedom.'”

What I want to say to you this evening at this revolutionary and historic Seder in the Streets is that too many of our people are worshiping a false idol once again. They are enraptured by it. They are drunk on it. They are profaned by it. And that false idol is called Zionism."

@wdlindsy I wish that there was more modern awareness of anti-Zionism, a position that was common among Jews prior to WWII. I had not heard of it until just this year. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Zionism
