For your consideration ...
Are Ben and Jerry, Palestinian? Are members of Jewish Voice for Peace, Palestinians? Are progressive Israeli Jews, Palestinians? Are Jews4Decolonisation, Palestinians? A poll taken that finds a quarter of US Jews think Israel is an "apartheid state", are they Palestinians, too? How about the Israeli jews living in Israel that penned this letter that says in part ....?
"We, Jewish Israelis, oppose the actions of the Israeli government and hereby declare our commitment to act against them. We refuse to accept the Jewish-supremacist regime and call upon the international community to immediately intervene in defense of the Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, the Galilee, the Negev, al-Lydd, Yafa, Ramleh, Haifa and throughout historic Palestine."
"Jewish supremacy is the cornerstone of the Israeli regime, and its consistent objective is to transfer and obliterate the Palestinian people, their history, and their national identity. This objective manifests in continued acts of ethnic cleansing by means of evictions and home demolitions, brutal military occupation, denial of civil and human rights, and legislation of a series of racist laws culminating in the Nation-State Bill, defining the State as “the Nation State of the Jewish People”, and them only."
"All the above effectively form an Apartheid regime creating Bantustan-like and Ghetto-like areas for Palestinian native communities. We believe that Zionism is an unethical principle of governance that inherently leads to a racist Apartheid regime that has been committing war crimes and denying basic human rights from Palestinians for over seven decades." Are all these jews, Palestinians as well?
To answer your question, no, I am not "Palestinian". I am a full red blood American. I do however side with the Palestinian cause. Does one need to be, have to be, Palestinian, to be against Israel's policies? Asking for a friend.
