A couple of decades ago I was at a meeting in a private home of people, almost all Jews, who had been to Israel. One woman told of how she was walking in Jerusalem when she saw an Israeli in uniform punch an elderly Palestinian woman with the butt of the rifle the Israeli was carrying.
Upset, this visitor went up to the Israeli and said, "I just saw what you did. Why did you do that?" The uniformed Israeli replied, "she's just an Arab"
My 'hatred of Jews' has led me to make two small contributions (I am a pensioner) to refuser solidarity network in the last 6 months. I would send you screenshots of them but that facility is not possible on substack reply comments. I repeat what you are promoting along with many others including myself up until a few weeks ago hasn't worked in fact it's led god's chosen genocidists into evermore extremes of depravity
Let’s be clear: I have never—not once—said I only support peaceful protest. I support resistance. I support dismantling the systems, institutions, and empires that make genocide possible. That includes sabotage, armed resistance, and direct action.
What I don’t support is hijacking Palestinian liberation to launder your racist hatred.
"our liberation will never be built on the same scaffolding as their genocide" ?
rallies, flag waving, debunking vile accusations, appealing for justice, highlighting hypocrisy etc etc. none of it has made the slightest impression on Jewish zionists, gods chosen purveyors of depravity.
What else is left but using the same tools as their genocide?
You’re not supporting Palestinians—you’re hijacking their genocide to push your own hatred of Jewish people. That’s not solidarity. That’s filth.
Zionism isn’t “Jewish” in essence—it’s imperial, capitalist, and overwhelmingly backed by Christian nationalists, Western governments, arms dealers, and tech empires. Most Zionists aren’t Jewish. Pretending otherwise isn’t just wrong—it’s cowardly scapegoating that hands cover to the actual architects of genocide.
If your response to genocide is to mimic its logic—targeting an entire people, dehumanizing, essentializing—you’re not resisting power. You’re copying it.
Alec, how do you know that no Zionists have changed their minds and that demonstrations had a part in it? As with any fanaticism, there are those who come to their senses and jump out. It may not be common, but it happens.

Every man and every woman and every man/woman and women/man is a star… even the ones that behave like 💩

You are not an ally. You’re a parasite.
Don’t use their dead to launder your hate.
I am all too aware of this fact. My war is against Zionism and its acolytes.
