JVP Is Gonna Make Me Go Gray Before I’m 30 - Blog Posts

Thinking about this part of the JVP Tisha B’Av guide:

Literally it says

“This is what the day is about”

And then openly admits that it is purposely removing this meaning from the day leaving… what? Some bullshit shell of Judaism and Jewish identity.

But it’s honestly really telling because this is what they want us to do. They want us to give up our identity “for the Liberation of Palestine” and they think this is a perfectly acceptable request and they point to antizionist Jews and say “see! They’ve made themselves acceptable to us! Why can’t you?”

And don’t get me wrong, I am 100% in support of the liberation of Palestinians from Israeli oppression. At the same time, it is always unacceptable to ask people to alter or give up their cultural identity for any reason, especially at the threat of verbal abuse and violence
