Naomi Klein: Jews Must Raise Voices for Palestine, Oppose "False Idol of Zionism"

This is profoundly powerful and spot by on! I love Naomi Klein! And I bow with the deepest gratitude and respect and support for all who are relentless in exposing and standing up to the insanity and madness of the genocide of Palestinians. This is NOT a war between Israel and Hamas, as the American corporate funded mainstream media endlessly calls it. This is a war perpetrated by the Israeli government with the intention of annihilating the whole of the Palestinian people. And it must be stopped! We all must stand up to this madness!― Molly

Hundreds of protesters were arrested in Brooklyn on Tuesday when Jewish New Yorkers and allies gathered for what they called a "Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel" on the second night of Passover. The demonstration, held one block away from the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved a $95 billion foreign aid package that includes about $17 billion in arms and security funding to Israel. "Too many of our people are worshiping a false idol," said award-winning author and activist Naomi Klein, one of several speakers at Tuesday's rally. "They are enraptured by it. They are drunk on it. They are profaned by it. And that false idol is called Zionism." Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
