Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
The Israeli-Palestine situation is not religious based, it’s land based. Religion came in the picture incidental decades after the conflict began.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
Calling out “Israel” for it’s violence against the land currently known as Palestine is not blaming Jewish people and communities for said violence. There are Israeli Muslims, Palestinian Jews and Christians of both backgrounds.
There were already thousands of Jewish people in Palestine before British rule.
Calling out “Israel” means holding accountable the government/military actions oppressing the people of Palestine. Not blaming the innocent Jewish citizens of the land.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
It’s an opposition to this loss of life and land, not to any religious belief.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
Freeing Palestine means giving its people self-determination on what is and is not their own ancestral land. The optimal way is to peacefully decide this.
The government/military of the state known as Israel have killed hundreds of innocent civilians of Palestine. They were met with peaceful protests. They responded with violence. Then they were met with violence in the name of self-defense. They responded with more violence.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
Of course, Jewish people know far too well the cost of bloodshed and religious persecution that force innocents to become refugees, lose their families and have their homes ripped apart bloodily, inhumanely and unjustly.
That is the current state of innocents in Palestine.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
No, the issue is not black and white. Innocents in the land known as Israel have been hurt regardless of religious affiliation. Innocents in the land known as Palestine have been hurt regardless of religious affiliation.
The black and white of it is that there are the oppressed and the oppressors.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
Freeing Palestine does not mean being diametrically opposed to the original definition of Zionism which is reparations for Jewish peoples in the form of a partial ethnic-state.
The land currently known as Israel was not the only place considered for said goal; Madagascar, Ethiopia, Germany and several others were considered before outer Western oppressive powers mandated the state of Israel - a choice done with only temporary consent by those of the land then known as Palestine.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
Jews have ALWAYS existed in Palestine.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
Free Palestine is simply a call to the end of illegal warfare, eviction, apartheid and religious persecution of innocent people in the land that is known as Palestine by the federal government of the state of Israel.
It is a call to prevent the exportation of refugees, the destruction of innocents, the airstrikes on public places and the bodies of innocent children lying dead and bloodied on the streets in the land of Israel-Palestine.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
It is a call to end the expansion of an oppressive state. Not to hurt Jews, nor kick them out individually nor to kill them. Just to free all involved from the warfare of an imposed and invading state.
Plenty of people with argue against this. I pity them for being uninformed and so adamant on their beliefs which may unintentionally or intentionally perpetuate violence on both communities - to paint either the Jewish or Arab peoples and/or their respective religions as violent or propagandistic.
Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.
“Free Palestine” is a call for peace and justice in the face of violent, unjust colonial settlement and ethnic cleansing.
Don’t make me regret posting this.
