All Of Us Are Responsible For Refusing To Be Complicit With Genocide or Enable Its Perpetrators

People in New York City attend a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he delivers an address at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), September 26 [Carlos Barria/Reuters]

Malignant narcissists consistently project onto others what is true for themselves. And this is certainly true of Netanyahu when he called those who walked out rather than hear him speak before the UN as “moral cowards." But he is the moral coward and a murderous fascist psychopath — and no different from Hitler and others who have perpetuated genocide.

I am reminded now of those like Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and many other Americans who supported Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s. Sickening. And it is infuriating and unacceptable today that Netanyahu has been welcomed — rather than arrested! — in the United States by both Democratic and Republican Presidents. And too many also did not walk out of the UN yesterday in protest of Netanyahu and genocide.

Who Stayed:

While over 70 delegations left the chamber as Israeli PM began speaking, representatives of the United States, Germany, Argentina, Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, Czechia and Greece remained in the General Assembly hall during Netanyahu’s address. The United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Belgium and Norway, whose relations with Israel have faced increasing tensions over Gaza, also kept representatives in the chamber, as did the European Union delegation. China, which has repeatedly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, was represented by a single diplomat. Delegations from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which normalised relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords, also remained in their seats. Other countries represented during the speech included Australia, Austria, Canada, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Romania, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Iceland, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Kenya and El Salvador.

Everyone needs to stand strongly against genocide and for accountability and justice for its perpetrators — including Netanyahu and the Israeli government AND our American government under democratic and republican administrations. To this very day our government votes to continue funding the bombs that are killing babies and the policies that are annihilating the Palestinian people. And Netanyahu is welcomed rather than arrested and held accountable for genocide. Infuriating!

Deepest gratitude to everyone who walked out yesterday and did not stay to hear the Israeli PM, to all who protested loudly and also got arrested, and to every single person who loudly exposes those who are responsible for the ongoing horrific genocide of the Palestinian people AND demands accountability, justice, and an end to the evil madness.

The protests in the streets of New York yesterday are what must happen and are long overdue across our country! We all are making choices today to stand up to genocide or be complicit.

Quoting Elie Wiesel, "We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”
