I'm an Israeli patriot who cares deeply about my country. I acknowledge that there is no symmetry in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as it is an unjust Israeli occupation that needs to end. The current regime in Israel is one of the most brutal and cruel in the world, and it can only be described as apartheid. In the occupied territories, one people have all the rights while the other does not. Anyone who has been there or is fair-minded can see this reality. Visit the Jordan Valley to witness it firsthand.

I grew up as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist, with a strong connection to Israel. However, I believe that the current Israeli government is exploiting the guilt of the Holocaust to justify their mistreatment of Palestinians. The Israeli army spokesperson's response to the killing of Palestinians was reminiscent of Nazi ideology. It's important to note that Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism, and the government's refusal to negotiate with Hamas has had dire consequences. Military means cannot solve the issue, as there are millions of Palestinians who are treated poorly by Israel. It's time for our government to take a stand and impose sanctions on Israel for their unacceptable conduct.

I am an Israeli professor of Holocaust studies, and I believe what is happening in Gaza is genocide. The events following October 7th, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, shocked me. Israel's response led to thousands of civilian deaths in Gaza, and it took time for me to confront this reality. Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term genocide, described it as the deliberate destruction of a group. There is clear intent from Israeli leaders to annihilate Gaza, as evidenced by their rhetoric and actions. The result is mass casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and displacement of the population. We are witnessing the second phase of genocide, where areas are prepared for Israeli settlements. Denial of this reality is widespread, but we must acknowledge it. This is genocide, and silence is not an option.

As an American with Israeli citizenship, I was raised to believe that Israel was always defending itself and that Palestinians were the aggressors. However, my perspective has changed. The ongoing issues in Palestine, including open-air prisons, checkpoints, blockades, and violations of human rights, have opened my eyes. Palestinians face challenges such as limited access to water, electricity, and the COVID vaccine. Children are separated from their families, and homes are taken by Zionists. It is crucial for everyone to support a free Palestine. This injustice must come to an end immediately.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist State of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the star of David. Judaism, as stated in the Torah, forbids Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. True followers of Judaism do not aspire to have our own state or take land from the Palestinians. This goes against the principles of my religion.

I was raised by my great grandmother, a Holocaust survivor who lost her entire extended family. She never supported the State of Israel because she believed it was wrong to inflict on others what was done to the Jewish people. She saw the state and the Zionists as becoming what they had once fought against. As a woman raised Jewish, it's unpopular for me to say this, but I no longer believe in the faith. However, the Jewish people are still my family.

I am an American Jew who recently lived in Israel for four months. When you visit the territories around the West Bank and Gaza, you see the wall, surveillance cameras pointed at Palestinians' homes, and autonomous weapons at checkpoints. It's hard to understand the reality of occupation unless you witness it firsthand. Growing up as a Palestinian child, you know that the country you live in hates you and is willing to kill you based on video footage. Israel's advanced technology allows them to target Hamas members without bombing the entire region. This level of intelligence suggests that Israel's actions are a massacre and genocide, driven by white supremacy, dictatorship, and control over a people who are innocent of the crimes committed against them.

I'm here today because I'm Jewish and Israeli, with parents who survived the Holocaust. I oppose the British government's support for Israel, considering it as genocide. The media, including the BBC, is also seen as supporting this immoral and illegal act. Many people in Britain are against it, including Jews like myself. This issue has been ongoing since 1948 when numerous Palestinian villages were destroyed, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the creation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees.

As a Holocaust survivor, I initially believed in the Zionist dream of a Jewish state. However, I soon realized that achieving this dream meant oppressing and expelling the local Palestinian population. The Nakba, or catastrophe, was the foundation of Israel, yet it is not allowed to be mentioned. During my visit to the occupied territories, I witnessed the brutality of the occupation, including the destruction of olive groves and denial of water rights. Palestinians are trapped in what is often referred to as the world's largest outdoor prison. Criticizing Israel does not make one an anti-Semite; it is about standing up for Palestinian rights and justice. The Western press often portrays Palestinians as terrorists while giving Israel less criticism. Israeli historians, professors, and soldiers have spoken out against Israeli policies. It is important for people, regardless of their background, to speak up against injustice and not be silenced by accusations of anti-Semitism.

I used to support Israel, but after witnessing the situation in Gaza, I can no longer stand with them. While I don't condone Hamas, I can't condemn the Palestinian people either. The more I learned, the worse it got. Israel has been continuously punishing the Palestinians, not caring about civilian lives. They bomb and slaughter them to break their spirit, not just the terrorists. Their goal is to make the Palestinians stop resisting Israeli occupation. The more I dig, the more I realize that Israel's position is indefensible.

Rothschild Zionism, not Jewish people, is the problem. Jewish people are its victims. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism because Zionism is a political system, a secret society placing its agents in power. One doesn't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist. Many Jewish people protest Zionism, and Zionism and Judaism are diametrically opposed. Zionism is state-organized terror, yet this is not reported. The Rothschild dynasty created Israel and paid for its infrastructure, including the Knesset and Supreme Court. Israel is not the homeland of Jewish people but the Rothschild dynasty's fiefdom, created out of Rothschild Zionism. It has been used to devastate and slaughter Palestinians while claiming to be against terrorism. This is genocide: the systematic extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group. Gaza is a concentration camp, and Palestinian homes are being demolished and given to extremist settlers.

I am here today to support the oppressed people and stand against the occupation. Israel, in my view, is a colonial apartheid genocidal state that does not represent Judaism. I was exploited when I was younger, living in Israel and learning the language. As I delved deeper, I realized the horror of this state exploiting our trauma from the Holocaust to oppress another people. They deserve the same rights as everyone else. I became aware of this in 2014 when I witnessed Israel's massacre in Gaza. Since then, I have separated my Jewish identity from this occupying fascist brutality. Today, I march with the Palestinians and support justice for all oppressed peoples. Thank you for speaking with me.

My name is Sônia Bloomfield, an anthropology professor specializing in Israel's history, society, and culture. The Palestinians originated from the ancient Philistines, a Greek people who settled in Gaza after being expelled from Egypt. Over time, they assimilated into other cultures and ceased to exist. In 137 AD, the Romans destroyed Israel and named the land Palestine, after the long-gone Philistines. Until 1967, the term "Palestinian" referred to anyone living in the region, including Jews, Arabs, and Africans. However, after the Soviet Union and terrorists claimed that only Arabs were Palestinians, the narrative changed. The truth is that the land was abandoned and neglected until the Jews revitalized it.

I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist. My parents fled Poland and settled in Britain. The current Israeli government manipulates guilt to justify mistreatment of Palestinians. They prioritize Jewish lives over Palestinian lives. Military force won't solve this issue. Even after the fighting ends, there will still be millions of Palestinians suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli government's conduct and policies are unacceptable. Our government should impose a complete arms ban on Israel. We need genuine peace, not conquest, which is the Israelis' unattainable goal. They are not just criminals, but also fools.

I have strong ties to Israel, rooted in my Jewish background. My family fled pogroms in Eastern Europe, and my grandfather's name is Israel. I grew up attending Sunday school as a reformed Jew. I deeply care about Israel's future and do not want to see it harmed.

As a former Zionist and Holocaust survivor, I believed in the salvation of the Jewish people through Zionism. However, I later discovered that the state of Israel was founded through the expulsion and massacres of the local population. To understand the present situation and move forward, we must consider the historical context and address the ongoing occupation and suppression of Palestinians. Coexistence has been nonexistent, with oppression, periodic massacres, and land occupation in the West Bank. I have personally witnessed the devastating effects of this occupation. It is crucial to return the stolen land and work towards recognition, peace, and an end to this brutal occupation for the sake of both Israelis and Palestinians.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist state of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the Star of David. Judaism and the Torah forbid Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. We are also forbidden from killing or stealing. Taking land away from the Palestinians goes against my religion and is completely contradictory.

I am not pulling my perspective on Israel Palestine out of thin air. I have studied and researched this extensively. As a Jewish woman raised by a Zionist family, I have overcome my pro-Israel bias to see the viciousness and violence of the Zionist state. My college experience and coursework on Israeli-Palestinian politics further solidified my pro-Palestine stance. This conflict is not as complicated as people make it out to be. It stems from Britain and the US wanting to exploit Palestine for military labor and land colonization. The establishment of Israel was never intended as a gift for Jews, but rather a trap to exploit the land and its people. Israel's actions over the years amount to a genocide, slowly exhausting and harming the Palestinian population while benefiting the primary stakeholders.

It is crucial for people of goodwill, regardless of their religious background, to challenge the silencing tactics and support justice, liberty, freedom, and truth.

As a white Christian conservative in the US, I was taught to blindly support Israel and view Arabs as enemies. However, as I grew older and gained access to global information, I began questioning these beliefs. I realized that Western media and the church had misled us. I no longer believe in the good versus evil narrative. We were taught to see Arabs as terrorists and Israel as morally superior, but I now understand that media control shapes our perception. This conflict started with the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and land theft. The US and other imperialist nations oppress those who challenge their capitalist system. Despite claiming moral superiority, America faces numerous social issues. I have had to deconstruct and challenge my indoctrination. We cannot claim that all lives matter while supporting the bombing of innocent civilians. I stand with the oppressed in free Palestine.

I am not pulling my perspective on Israel Palestine out of thin air. I have studied and researched this extensively. As a Jewish woman raised by a Zionist family, I have overcome my pro-Israel bias to see the viciousness and violence of the Zionist state. In college, I took multiple courses on Israeli-Palestinian politics and the Middle East conflict, which solidified my pro-Palestine stance. The history of Palestine's colonization by Britain and the US, and the displacement of Palestinians for Jewish settlement, is clear. Israel's actions over the past 75 years can be described as a genocide, with the intention of exhausting and displacing the Palestinian population for the benefit of the primary stakeholders.

Growing up in the US, I was taught to have unwavering loyalty to Israel and view Arabs as enemies. However, as I grew older and gained access to global information, I began questioning these beliefs. I realized that Western media and the church had misled us. I no longer believe in the good vs. evil narrative. Israel controls the media and the way the war is fought. The conflict started with the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians 75 years ago, not a recent terrorist attack. The US and other imperialist nations suppress any alternative systems and then blame those nations for their failure. We claim moral superiority while having millions in prison, homeless, and without healthcare. It's time to deconstruct and challenge the indoctrination we've received. We cannot claim that all lives matter while supporting the bombing of innocent civilians. I stand with the oppressed.

I'm Jewish and Israeli, and my parents survived Auschwitz during the Holocaust. I'm here with the Palestinians because I don't support the British government's arming and financing of Israel, which I see as supporting genocide. The media, including the BBC, is also complicit in this. Many people in Britain oppose this government's actions, including myself. This conflict didn't start recently; it began in 1948 when numerous Palestinian villages were destroyed, thousands of innocent Palestinians were killed, and hundreds of thousands became refugees. This violence has persisted ever since.

I'm here today because as a Jewish Israeli, I cannot support the genocide happening in Palestine. The British government's support for Israel, along with the media's backing, is illegal and immoral. We will always stand against it. Many people in Britain also oppose the government on various issues, including this one. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians didn't start recently; it began in 1948 when numerous Palestinian villages were destroyed, thousands of innocent Palestinians were killed, and hundreds of thousands became refugees. This violence has persisted ever since.

I grew up in Jerusalem in a Zionist family with a strong political background. Based on my personal experience and family history, I firmly believe that Israel is an apartheid state. It was never intended to be a democracy, as establishing a Jewish state in an Arab country inherently excludes the possibility of true democracy.
