Rabbis for Ceasefire: Jewish leaders organize to halt Israel's bombardment of Gaza

(Democracy Now!) Nov. 15, 2023: Hosts Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez speak to Rabbi Alissa Wise, an organizer with Rabbis for Ceasefire and the founding co-chair of Jewish Voice for Peace's Rabbinical Council, about Tuesday's "March for Israel" in Washington, D.C., that was covered widely by the mainstream media and featured antisemitic Christian Zionists, elevating them to platform.

It used to be we could all agree on peace.

Rabbi Wise sees a deep connection between Jewish religious principles and ANTI-Zionist activism and says accusations that anti-Zionists are antisemitic are part of a cynical strategy used to "shield Israel from accountability."

She says Israel cannot be uniquely exempt from political and humanitarian critiques. "Israel is NOT a Jewish person. Israel is a [illegitimate Western-style settler colonial] state. God forbid we should not be able to cry out when states are committing horrific genocidal violence in the name of Jewish people."

Wow, the BBC turns against Israel (live)
