My Lunch With Two Zionist Friends
by Ed Fallon
I’m pro-Israel. I’m also pro-Palestine. More precisely, I’m pro-Jewish and pro-Palestinian. Nation states come and go. They serve a purpose, until they don’t. What matters is people, culture, and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Eighty years ago, after Nazi Germany’s attempted genocide of the Jewish people, the world showed deep empathy for the victims. And it acted on that empathy.
Today, the world is turning against Israel and uniting in its support for the Palestinian people. Just as in 1943, when the images coming out of Nazi concentration camps became impossible to ignore, the gaunt or bloodied faces of Gaza’s children are impossible to ignore.
It has become impossible to ignore the 60,000 Palestinians killed since October, 2023. Or the nearly 150,000 injured. Or the 1,000 shot dead while simply trying to access food. Or the 70% of all infrastructure in Gaza leveled by US-funded Israeli bombs.
This is the very face of genocide.
The list of prominent people and organizations calling out genocide is long and growing. Pope Leo. The United Nations. Amnesty International. Human Rights Watch. Center for Constitutional Rights. South Africa and the other 13 countries that have joined its genocide case before the World Court.
There’s also Dr. Omar Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies, who recently penned “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”
