Um vídeo em que vemos como a juventude judaica dos Estados Unidos despertou e começou a trilhar o caminho da justiça e da solidariedade. A constatação de que tantos jovens judeus já concluíram que é impossível que um povo seja livre enquanto estiver oprimindo e submetendo a outro renova a esperança de quem crê no poder libertador da luta pela justiça e pela fraternidade.

00:02:11I met so many nice people.
00:02:14Jewish Americans will tell me things like,
00:02:18we like you, but we don't like Palestinians.
00:02:21Even though I'm the only Palestinian they know.
00:02:25Of course, around that time, I would take it personally.
00:02:28But then you come to realize that people do not know.
00:02:33They know nothing about Palestine and Palestinians.
00:02:37Or have no idea about what Palestinians are going through.
00:02:41Coming into Palestine for the first time,
00:02:59I remember asking people,
00:03:01what do you think? Should I do it?
00:03:03And the response that I always got was,
00:03:05you know, you're going to be killed.
00:03:07As a curious young person, like,
00:03:20what is this thing that is so horrifying
00:03:21that you can't bear to let me see it?
00:03:23Like, is it that bad?
00:03:34Like, is it that bad?
00:03:37found in the depths of my family's house?
00:03:55I found some of my Hebrew textbooks from elementary school.
00:04:05Israel Shel Simcha.
00:04:07My Israel.
00:04:09Congratulations to Simone Zimmerman
00:04:11for winning the Israel Jubilee Contest.
00:04:14February 1998.
00:04:16I was seven.
00:04:17I had, like, a pretty traditional Jewish upbringing.
00:04:22I grew up in L.A.
00:04:24I went to a Jewish day school,
00:04:27kindergarten through the end of high school.
00:04:30I went to Jewish youth group, Jewish camp.
00:04:34I have family in Israel.
00:04:35I lived in Israel in high school on an exchange program.
00:04:38Israel was just treated like a core part of being a Jew.
00:04:49So you did prayers and you did Israel.
00:05:05Israel is something that I feel so passionately about,
00:05:08like, it's, you know, it's my greatest passion.
00:05:12Everything Israel.
00:05:14I became a Jewish educator
00:05:16after my daughters started Hebrew school.
00:05:21I started teaching second grade.
00:05:24During the years, I did fourth grade also.
00:05:28And just to be able to start them on this wonderful journey,
00:05:33I mean, it gets in your blood.
00:05:38And we teach Israel at the day school very well.
00:05:41We introduce them to the food and to the music
00:05:44and to the culture,
00:05:45in addition to the history and the geography.
00:05:50Figure out which one is the Israeli flag.
00:05:53Draw a circle around every time you see the symbol
00:05:56of the state of Israel.
00:05:57Draw your own symbol of the state of Israel.
00:05:59We also celebrated holidays, obviously.
00:06:04So Hanukkah, Israeli independence, all of it together.
00:06:09Can you separate Israel in Judaism?
00:06:12I don't know.
00:06:12I can't.
00:06:13You know, some people, I think, can't.
00:06:15To me, it's the same.
00:06:16You know, you can't separate it.
00:06:17Israel is Judaism and Judaism is Israel.
00:06:20And that is who I am.
00:06:22And that is my identity.
00:06:23And I think every single thing that I experienced
00:06:26along my life has melded into that.
00:06:29Like, there was never, you know, a divide for me.
00:06:31I grew up in a conservative Jewish household
00:06:40in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:06:42Israel was a central part of everything we did in school.
00:06:52My elementary and middle school,
00:06:54as well as my high school,
00:06:55both had organized trips to Israel,
00:06:57which was touted as one of the most important things
00:07:00you could do.
00:07:03Do you want to go to Israel, too?
00:07:05Yeah!
00:07:07We want to go!
00:07:08We want to go!
00:07:10We want to go!
00:07:11We want to go!
00:07:13We want to go!
00:07:14We want to go!
00:07:16When I visited Israel for the first time
00:07:18when I was eight years old,
00:07:19I put a note in the Kotel,
00:07:21in the Western Wall,
00:07:22saying that one day I hope
00:07:24to live in Israel and prosper.
00:07:27Every one of our kids
00:07:31should be going over,
00:07:33not for ten days,
00:07:35but for a minimum of a semester or a year.
00:07:39Every time I send somebody over to Israel,
00:07:41they come back,
00:07:42all of a sudden,
00:07:44they feel totally different about who and what they are as Jews.
00:07:47When I was a teenager
00:07:49and I went to Israel,
00:07:52it was amazing to me
00:07:53to travel in this place
00:07:54where Hebrew was a language
00:07:56that I finally got to speak on the street with people
00:07:58and where Jewish heroes,
00:08:00the streets were named after them.
00:08:04We're planting seeds
00:08:05that eventually
00:08:07are going to blossom.
00:08:09Does the average congregant
00:08:15understand that I'm teaching them
00:08:16to become Zionists?
00:08:18Probably not,
00:08:20but it is part of my madness,
00:08:22so to speak.
00:08:25I learned about Israel
00:08:26as this great miracle of Jewish history.
00:08:29For thousands of years,
00:08:31we were persecuted,
00:08:32and Israel is the place
00:08:33that you can go to be safe.
00:08:35My grandfather's family
00:08:39made it to Israel.
00:08:40His immediate family
00:08:42were some of the only ones
00:08:43who escaped the Holocaust.
00:08:47Many American Jews,
00:08:49if not most people I know,
00:08:50have family or friends
00:08:51that live in Israel.
00:08:55Israel is the insurance policy.
00:08:58Today, a Jew doesn't have to worry.
00:09:01Where is he going to go?
00:09:02God forbid.
00:09:04Even here.
00:09:05No Holocaust survivor
00:09:06will say to you
00:09:07it could never happen again.
00:09:11I was born in Poland, 1940.
00:09:13Not a good place
00:09:14for a Jewish kid to be born.
00:09:23My parents were separated.
00:09:25My father went through
00:09:26a series of camps.
00:09:31Who knows why I survived
00:09:33in a million and a half
00:09:34Jewish children perished.
00:09:39And so Israel became very,
00:09:41very significant in my life,
00:09:44even though 6,000 miles away.
00:09:46I probably visited Israel
00:09:48over 100 times in my lifetime.
00:09:50You know, as we sit now,
00:09:52my granddaughter is there
00:09:53for two weeks
00:09:53and we're in high school.
00:09:55I did have many friends in Israel
00:09:58growing up.
00:10:00And every time I would visit Israel,
00:10:03I felt closer and closer.
00:10:05The Jewish summer camps
00:10:18would always bring
00:10:19a big contingency of Israelis
00:10:21to try to drive Israeli culture
00:10:24within the camp
00:10:25and connect the American Jews
00:10:26to Israeli culture.
00:10:27So when I was in high school,
00:10:33I went on this Jewish youth trip
00:10:34to Israel
00:10:35and one of the programs
00:10:37we did was called Kadna,
00:10:38where we spent a day
00:10:39pretending to be soldiers
00:10:41in the Israeli army.
00:10:42We wore army uniforms
00:10:43and stuff like that
00:10:45was just sort of a normal part
00:10:46of what our childhood looked like.
00:10:58At summer camp,
00:10:59in the middle of the night,
00:11:00they would wake us up
00:11:01and take us out.
00:11:04Sometimes that was to pull pranks
00:11:06and other times,
00:11:07I remember doing military games
00:11:10using the command
00:11:12Pazazda, sneaking around.
00:11:14So anytime the commander,
00:11:16who was one of our counselors,
00:11:18said Pazazda,
00:11:19we would all get on the ground
00:11:21and they made a game out of it.
00:11:24Simulating being in the military
00:11:26and sneaking around
00:11:27and having to be a part of that.
00:11:33On youth programs
00:11:35that I participated in in Israel,
00:11:37you could spend a whole week
00:11:38on an Israeli army base
00:11:39wearing army uniforms
00:11:41and going through
00:11:42a sort of simulation
00:11:44of basic training.
00:11:45and that's where some people,
00:11:47you know,
00:11:47learn to shoot guns
00:11:48for the first time.
00:11:52It's not just regular
00:11:53military games.
00:11:54It's specifically
00:11:55using Israeli military commands,
00:11:57often with Israeli counselors
00:11:59giving them.
00:12:02When you're a young kid,
00:12:03that really drills it into you
00:12:05that this is
00:12:06something important.
00:12:08And I wanted
00:12:09to be a part of that.
00:12:10We often talked about
00:12:13the ways that you could
00:12:14be a good supporter
00:12:15of the Jewish people.
00:12:16One was to join the army.
00:12:19And the other
00:12:20was to go become
00:12:22an Israel advocate.
00:12:25There were even clubs
00:12:27within school
00:12:28to work on advocating
00:12:30for Israel.
00:12:31my high school
00:12:33sent a delegation
00:12:34to the AIPAC conference.
00:12:36AIPAC,
00:12:37the American Israel
00:12:38Public Affairs Committee.
00:12:40They're the people
00:12:40who tell the Congress
00:12:41which legislation
00:12:42affecting Israel
00:12:43they like
00:12:44and which they don't.
00:12:46The bond between
00:12:47the United States
00:12:47and Israel
00:12:48is unbreakable today,
00:12:50unbreakable tomorrow,
00:12:52unbreakable forever.
00:12:54AIPAC is just
00:12:55the thing that you do.
00:12:56Like going to
00:13:00the AIPAC conference
00:13:01is just sort of seen
00:13:02as like a community event.
00:13:06Here with us today
00:13:07are leaders
00:13:08from across
00:13:09the pro-Israel community
00:13:11including
00:13:12Abe Foxman.
00:13:16I learned a long time ago
00:13:18there is no way
00:13:19you can say
00:13:20no to Abe.
00:13:22You know,
00:13:23I don't know
00:13:24to what extent
00:13:24anybody
00:13:25makes a difference
00:13:27I try to make a difference.
00:13:31Jewish education
00:13:31is still a major priority
00:13:33for the future
00:13:34and certainly
00:13:35relationship to Israel.
00:13:40If you were to ask me
00:13:42if you had
00:13:42a hundred million dollars
00:13:44how would you change
00:13:45the future
00:13:45of American Jews?
00:13:47I would make
00:13:48trips to Israel
00:13:49available to any
00:13:50Jewish kid
00:13:51who wanted to go
00:13:52make that experience
00:13:53they're doing it now
00:13:54it's called birthright.
00:13:55It is up to you
00:14:14to be our soldiers abroad
00:14:16armed with love
00:14:19and knowledge
00:14:19and conviction
00:14:21ready to sway
00:14:22public opinion
00:14:23in Israel's favor.
00:14:28Learning about
00:14:28the quote-unquote
00:14:29conflict
00:14:29is something
00:14:30that is
00:14:31part of
00:14:32programming
00:14:33as something
00:14:34that
00:14:34you have to learn
00:14:35how to defend
00:14:36Israel
00:14:37from the lies
00:14:38that other people
00:14:39are saying
00:14:39and you have to be able
00:14:40to tell people
00:14:41the truth.
00:14:49By the time
00:14:49I got to college
00:14:50I had teachers
00:14:51who said to me
00:14:52people hate Israel
00:14:53people are attacking Israel
00:14:54people don't know
00:14:55the truth about Israel
00:14:55and we're the only people
00:14:57who actually know
00:14:57the truth about Israel.
00:15:01If you're a Jewish
00:15:02college student
00:15:03Hillel is your central address
00:15:05for Jewish life
00:15:05on campus
00:15:06as a freshman
00:15:07I remember
00:15:08walking into Hillel
00:15:09was one of the first
00:15:10places I went
00:15:10when I got to campus
00:15:11it's a place
00:15:12where you can go
00:15:13for meals
00:15:13to meet other
00:15:14young Jewish people
00:15:16pro-Israel advocacy
00:15:19is a central part
00:15:20of how they
00:15:21work to engage
00:15:22Jewish young people.
00:15:28I'm the director
00:15:29of engagement
00:15:30and programs
00:15:30here at Hillel
00:15:31and this campus
00:15:33happens to be
00:15:34very proactive
00:15:35for Israel
00:15:36a lot of people
00:15:37are very passionate
00:15:37a lot of people
00:15:38love Israel
00:15:39and there's a lot
00:15:39of advocacy
00:15:40here on campus
00:15:41in lots of different ways
00:15:42lots of different groups.
00:15:44How did you
00:15:45become involved
00:15:46in advocacy
00:15:46for Israel?
00:15:48I kind of came
00:15:48to Hillel
00:15:49just because
00:15:49I was new on campus
00:15:50I didn't really
00:15:51know where to go
00:15:52and I really
00:15:53did find a lot
00:15:54of friends here.
00:15:56I came here
00:15:56on and off
00:15:57but then when I
00:15:58went on the
00:15:58birthright trip
00:15:59and kind of
00:15:59got to know
00:16:00the staff
00:16:01Tom and Jackie
00:16:01a lot better
00:16:02got to know
00:16:02people at Hillel
00:16:03a lot better
00:16:04and just got to
00:16:05know Israel
00:16:05a lot better
00:16:06I came back
00:16:06and I knew that
00:16:07I wanted to put
00:16:08a lot more
00:16:09myself into
00:16:09Hillel
00:16:11the Jewish community
00:16:11on campus
00:16:12and just Israel
00:16:13advocacy in general.
00:16:14On birthright
00:16:15we had
00:16:16Israeli soldiers
00:16:17with us
00:16:17throughout the entire trip
00:16:18you learn so much
00:16:19and you learn
00:16:20the reason that
00:16:22they serve.
00:16:23It's just a feeling
00:16:23that I don't think
00:16:24any of us
00:16:25could ever imagine
00:16:25except for
00:16:26Joe.
00:16:26my job is doing
00:16:30Israeli program
00:16:31on campus
00:16:31and that relates
00:16:32to Jewish events
00:16:34cultural
00:16:35political
00:16:35sorry
00:16:37Israeli events
00:16:38cultural
00:16:39political
00:16:39I would say
00:16:41name a university
00:16:42in America
00:16:43we probably
00:16:43have a person
00:16:44there
00:16:44I like to talk
00:16:47about the army
00:16:48a lot
00:16:48because that's
00:16:49an experience
00:16:50that I lived
00:16:51through
00:16:51and I have
00:16:52a lot of
00:16:52personal stories
00:16:53there are a couple
00:16:55of students
00:16:56who said
00:16:56yeah I'm thinking
00:16:57about joining
00:16:57the IDF one day
00:16:59so my first
00:17:00thing is saying
00:17:01them
00:17:01are you sure
00:17:02because
00:17:03it's not an easy
00:17:06it's not an easy
00:17:07decision
00:17:07that being said
00:17:09it will probably
00:17:11end up being
00:17:11the most meaningful
00:17:13experience that you
00:17:13ever go through
00:17:14you're going to tell
00:17:15your kids stories
00:17:16about it

00:17:22young emissaries
00:17:23just graduated
00:17:24into the air force
00:17:25and that's the
00:17:27greatest gift
00:17:28you can give
00:17:29you know
00:17:29and we actually
00:17:30have had quite a
00:17:31few of our
00:17:31former students
00:17:32join the IDF
00:17:33amazing

00:17:39it's like something
00:17:40I've dreamed about
00:17:41doing since I was
00:17:427 years old
00:17:42you find your
00:17:44sense of purpose
00:17:45all my friends
00:17:45are so proud of me
00:17:46and they understand
00:17:47that this is
00:17:48something that
00:17:48like I have to do
00:17:50almost 10%
00:17:52of my graduating
00:17:53class at my
00:17:54Jewish high school
00:17:55joined the Israeli
00:17:56army
00:17:57and I had many
00:17:59friends from my
00:18:00summer camp
00:18:01and youth group
00:18:01who joined the
00:18:02army as well
00:18:03part of becoming
00:18:09part of Israeli
00:18:10society is to
00:18:11join the military
00:18:12when I was in
00:18:14high school
00:18:15I told my parents
00:18:16I don't even need
00:18:17to apply to college
00:18:18because I'm
00:18:19going to just
00:18:20join the Israeli
00:18:21military and
00:18:22make aliyah
00:18:22and live in
00:18:23Israel
00:18:24I honestly
00:18:28have felt for
00:18:29many years
00:18:30that I fit in
00:18:30better in Israeli
00:18:31society than I
00:18:32do in American
00:18:33society
00:18:33even before I
00:18:35moved there
00:18:35and I wanted to
00:18:37defend what I saw
00:18:39as my country
00:18:40so when I
00:18:42enlisted
00:18:43I was a
00:18:45magist
00:18:46which is a
00:18:46heavy machine gunist
00:18:48during my
00:18:49basic and advanced
00:18:50training
00:18:51and then they
00:18:52put me on a
00:18:52light machine gun
00:18:53we were training
00:19:00for war
00:19:01training for
00:19:03strategy
00:19:04to conquer
00:19:05hilltops
00:19:06and conquer
00:19:07open spaces
00:19:08one week
00:19:10was focused
00:19:11on urban
00:19:12warfare
00:19:13in close quarters
00:19:14and that
00:19:16was simulated
00:19:17in what
00:19:18looked like
00:19:18Arab housing
00:19:19after the seven
00:19:22months of
00:19:23our training
00:19:24we were
00:19:26deployed to
00:19:27the West Bank
00:19:27our missions
00:19:40included
00:19:41working in
00:19:42two different
00:19:43checkpoints
00:19:44patrolling
00:19:44villages on
00:19:45foot in full
00:19:46gear and
00:19:47bulletproof vests
00:19:48we would
00:19:50go into
00:19:51apartment
00:19:51buildings
00:19:52go up
00:19:53to the
00:19:53roof
00:19:53and make
00:19:54sure
00:19:55that we
00:19:56could be
00:19:56seen
00:19:57so that we
00:19:59could make
00:19:59our presence
00:20:00felt
00:20:00we wanted
00:20:03them to
00:20:04know that
00:20:04we were
00:20:04watching
00:20:05that was
00:20:06the goal
00:20:06of the
00:20:07mission

00:20:34to keep
00:20:36them on
00:20:36their toes
00:20:37essentially
00:20:38and they
00:20:40being
00:20:41Palestinians
00:20:42even though
00:20:48Israel was
00:20:49a central
00:20:50part of
00:20:52everything we
00:20:53did in
00:20:53school
00:20:54we never
00:20:55really
00:20:56discussed
00:20:57the
00:20:58Palestinians
00:20:59it was
00:21:04presented to
00:21:05us that
00:21:06Israel was
00:21:06basically an
00:21:07empty

00:21:08when the
00:21:10Jews

00:27:06foi roubado por um sniper e foi morto no lugar.
00:27:09Os filhos de seus filhos derrubaram o seu corpo e morreram na casa da casa.
00:27:14Um dia depois, quando as forças de judeus derrubar,
00:27:19eles pediam que todos os não-judeus da região da região ser evitados.
00:27:24Era o maior exíduo maior da população de sua terra em história modernamente.
00:27:37O esticico de palestino, a termo nekba, a catástrofe.
00:27:45A tragédia ou catástrofe que subiu quase toda família palestina.
00:27:50cerca de 750,000 vítimas.
00:27:54Isso é traumatizando em quase todos os pontos possíveis.
00:28:06Mais 78% do país de Palestina
00:28:10foi sob o controle do Estado de Israel.
00:28:15O que eu disse mais sobre Israel?
00:28:16Nós acreditamos que era uma terra sem pessoas,
00:28:21para pessoas sem terra, e nós voltamos.
00:28:24De as asas do holocausto, o Estado de Israel foi criado.
00:28:31O direito dos pessoas que vivem aqui
00:28:34não existe naquela narrativa,
00:28:37e além de nós sermos um obstáculo,
00:28:39o Nakba continua.
00:28:40It começou em 1948 e continua até hoje.
00:28:46O que é a terra?
00:28:49A terra?
00:28:52No.
00:28:53Em 1967, o Estado de Israel
00:28:55conseguiu completar
00:28:57o controle da Palestina
00:28:59em que se apoiou o território da Walla
00:29:02e a terra de Gaza.
00:29:07Aqui é o bom coisa.
00:29:09Mais mapas do Federal de Israel.
00:29:10Isso é só o todo o país.
00:29:15Nós somos sempre ensinados que o todo o país era o nosso.
00:29:19Você sabe, isso é o que eles ensinam.
00:29:24Depois da guerra de 1967,
00:29:27Israel colocou uma força muito forte,
00:29:30muito violenta militares para dominar e controlar
00:29:34as vidas dos palestinos que continua até esse dia.
00:29:40A intenção do controle da Israel sobre a terra de Palestina
00:30:00é a colonização completa da território.
00:30:06A construção de casas para os que foram nascidos para as famílias.
00:30:11E também a construção de casas para os que foram nascidos para as famílias palestinos.
00:30:17A construção de casas para as famílias.
00:30:22A construção de casas para as famílias.
00:30:25Você está roubando minha casa.
00:30:28E se eu não roubou, alguém vai roubá.
00:30:30Não, ninguém é permitido roubá.
00:30:32Não, ninguém é permitido.
00:30:33Não, ninguém é permitido.
00:30:34A grande movimento para confiscar terra,
00:30:37para construir seteções, para construir seteções.
00:30:39Para construir seteções.
00:30:41Antes de nós ainda nos ensinamos,
00:30:43nós nos ensinamos para proteger seteções.
00:30:47Isso foi tudo para a segurança de seteções.
00:30:50Israel melhora as famílias de nações.
00:30:52Israel�es de Nesteco.
00:30:54Israel�es de Nesteco.
00:30:56Osso-Israelis moram em diferentes colônias.
00:30:58��as moram em diferentes colônias e sétalidas
00:30:59por um mundo.
00:31:01E esses chãos são os líderes contra a civil emissão.
00:31:03E aqueles personagens são o título da dadaão.
00:31:07A civilização.
00:31:09E os tudoر estão ao país.
00:31:10E os palestinenses estão emс ноo mesmo território.
00:31:12Eles estão ficando ao lado da região.
00:31:16Quando um cidadão americano vem aqui, ele tem mais direitos
00:31:24do que eu teria na minha vida toda.
00:31:28Nós estamos no, quote-unquote, West Bank.
00:31:48Nós estamos no, quote-unquote, Settlement.
00:31:53Esse é um dos blocos que garantizam que os carros estão guardados,
00:31:58para ver que não os terroristas estão vindo.
00:32:04Eu vivi na América, e então eu vim para Israel por mim,
00:32:07na idade de 17, para servir no army.
00:32:10E existem elementos, o que eu chamo de jihadista,
00:32:13que não aceitam a nossa presença aqui,
00:32:15mas é só difícil para eles.
00:32:18É uma grande visão que vem para o nosso tempo,
00:32:20e não vai nos impedir.
00:32:23Inscreva-se-n",
00:32:39a partir da que você está nascido,
00:32:41você vive dia em dia,
00:32:43dia em dia em dia,
00:32:44sem se sentir a dia de liberdade.
00:32:48Os palestinos têm de ser forçados para viver em caixas.
00:32:57Então, eu sou um...
00:32:59Eu sou um Israel, born e criado.
00:33:02Como um jovem, eu crescientei,
00:33:04meus irmãos vivem no centro de Jerusalém.
00:33:07Na batalha para Jerusalém,
00:33:09at least 26 pessoas são mortas.
00:33:13Os pessoas que eu conheci eram mortos e mortos,
00:33:16e, desde um jovem, eu sabia que eu ia entrar na militação.
00:33:23Eu nunca estava em casa palestina,
00:33:25até que eu barguei em uma no meio da noite.
00:33:36Uma coisa que eu fiz normalmente foi uma missão
00:33:38onde você é pedido a casa palestina de casa palestina
00:33:42e usava essa casa como um ponto militar.
00:33:46Não há garantia.
00:33:47Você não chama em avanços.
00:33:49É uma ocupação militar.
00:33:51E durante meu serviço,
00:33:52há muitos momentos em que eu vi me atingindo violentamente,
00:33:58e há momentos de...
00:34:02de...
00:34:04de...
00:34:05de...
00:34:06de...
00:34:07de...

00:34:16de...
00:34:17de...
00:34:18oh...
00:34:19que você está fazendo?
00:34:20Alimenta.
00:34:21Tem!
00:34:22aurão!
00:34:23.
00:34:47Quando eu estava estacionado no West Bank, um dia, um dos meus commanders
00:34:55me pegou e me e um outro soldado e disse,
00:34:58''There é um detainee no Huala checkpoint,
00:35:02e nós precisamos pegar ele e levar ele para o centro de detenção que está na base."
00:35:07Quando nós chegamos lá, o palestinante,
00:35:11que estava o máximo de seus primeiros 20s,
00:35:15estava sentindo no curva com os seus dedos,
00:35:19com os seus braços, com os seus braços,
00:35:21com os seus braços.
00:35:23Nós chegamos ao centro de detenção dentro da base
00:35:27e, lá fora, há aproximadamente 8 soldados esperando por nós.
00:35:33Eles nos viram,
00:35:35eles pegam o detainee de nós,
00:35:38e pegam ele para a terra,
00:35:40enquanto ele estava ainda com os seus braços,
00:35:42com os seus braços,
00:35:44e eles começaram a pegar ele
00:35:46por um pouco de minuto.
00:35:50Eu era responsável por esse homem's bem-estar.
00:35:53Eu era responsável por esse homem.
00:35:56Eu era responsável por ele
00:35:58para levar ele para o centro de detenção.
00:36:02que era meu trabalho.
00:36:04E aí fora da frente do centro de detenção,
00:36:06eles pegam ele para mim e começaram a beating ele.
00:36:08eu era responsável,
00:36:14mas meu comandante não estava dizendo nada,
00:36:17então, como eu poderia dizer nada?
00:36:19Eu era responsável,
00:36:21eu era responsável,
00:36:23que era um policial de policiais
00:36:25que estava no centro de detenção.
00:36:26Ele estava estando na frente,
00:36:27e estava olhando para o centro de detenção.
00:36:29As soon as these guys were done kicking this Palestinian man,
00:36:35the military police officer tossed his cigarette.
00:36:38He came, brought him inside the detention center.
00:36:46And I didn't even speak up.
00:36:49I didn't speak up.
00:36:53And that's just one of many stories that I have from my time in the West Bank.
00:36:59And it took many years for me to really come to terms with my part in it.
00:37:12Only after I got out of the army did I begin to realize that the stuff that I did in the day-to-day,
00:37:21just working in checkpoints, patrolling villages, that in and of itself was immoral.
00:37:29Palestinians in the West Bank, even though their lives are controlled by the state of Israel from morning, noon, and night,
00:37:36are not even theoretically citizens of the country in which they live.
00:37:40You see, in some ways, what non-democracy looks like up close.
00:37:49When people look at the West Bank today and say,
00:37:51this is an apartheid system, it's not just throwing out a word.
00:37:55A Palestinian lives under a different legal system than an Israeli settler living next door.
00:38:00Anyone who, you know, sees these facts on the grounds or speaks to Palestinians
00:38:17would understand that this is a process of settler colonization, of an apartheid regime.
00:38:22I remember crossing that checkpoint into Bethlehem,
00:38:27and before this I had been very much opposed to ever using the word apartheid.
00:38:31But seeing the sort of night and day difference just by crossing this wall
00:38:34changed that for me in an instant.
00:38:36Serving in the Israeli army is obviously one way of supporting Israel,
00:38:56but there's also another modern battle that is happening on campuses each and every single day.
00:39:02And you are standing in the front of it.
00:39:05And, I mean, the Israeli government, the Israeli people, thank you for that.
00:39:11And that's why they put me here, probably.
00:39:13And I thank you for that.
00:39:15We need PR, love you.
00:39:17There's a lot of PR to be made.
00:39:21This university, thank God, is fairly apolitical.
00:39:25But I've heard all over the place how universities are these hotbeds of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel work.
00:39:38I remember very vividly, I was sitting in my dorm room with a friend of mine.
00:39:43We got a phone call that an anti-Israel bill was being introduced in the student government.
00:39:47We bolted.
00:39:50On the way, called our parents.
00:39:52Both got sent talking points.
00:39:55And then we went into this student government meeting.
00:40:02Hi everyone, so we're going to let more people stand, right?
00:40:12We're going to push them down.
00:40:15Everybody, please take your excuse.
00:40:17The student senate at the University of California, Berkeley, calling on campus officials to divest
00:40:24from companies that supply weapons that Israel uses in its occupation of the Palestinian territories.
00:40:29You are siding with the Palestinians on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
00:40:33There's just no question about it.
00:40:34I just knew it was this bad thing that I had to fight.
00:40:39It is anti-Semitism. It is.
00:40:42You are trying to make me feel marginalized on my own campus.
00:40:47And I remember all of us going,
00:40:49well, you shouldn't boycott Israel because it's applying a double standard
00:40:54and you shouldn't boycott Israel because it's unfair to single out Israel.
00:40:59Please, I beg of you.
00:41:01I beg you, please,
00:41:03to have compassion and to remember that we are alienating students
00:41:07and I am devastated by this bill.
00:41:10I am a human being.
00:41:13I still remember you have these Palestinian students who get up and said,
00:41:16you know, Jewish students, you are crying about feeling silenced and marginalized.
00:41:23You know, my aunts and cousins didn't sleep for weeks
00:41:26while bombs were falling overhead in Gaza.
00:41:28What do you have to say to that?
00:41:29If divestment is hostile, then where do we begin to describe the hostility of a military occupation?
00:41:37I was thrown into all these conversations where people were throwing around all these words
00:41:40that I'd never heard before.
00:41:43Occupation, settlements, apartheid, ethnic cleansing.
00:41:46I just never heard anyone use any of these terms before.
00:41:50I thought I knew so much about Israel,
00:41:53but I didn't really know what anybody was talking about
00:41:54when they were talking about all these things.
00:41:59I remember coming to Hillel and saying,
00:42:05why aren't we answering Palestinian students' questions?
00:42:09I felt really embarrassed by it
00:42:11because mostly I felt like we weren't doing a good job refuting their arguments.
00:42:15Do we not have an actual counter-argument
00:42:18besides like rockets, double-standard, anti-Semitism?
00:42:21People, people, I couldn't get an answer from anybody
00:42:27and that was really disturbing for me.
00:42:31I mean, there are these people called Palestinians
00:42:33who think that Israel wields all this power over their lives
00:42:36and don't have rights, don't have water.
00:42:39What, like, literally, what is this?
00:42:45How is this happening?
00:42:46How do I, how do I respond to it?
00:42:49People that have a problem with Israel,
00:42:52there's a good chance they're misguided in some way or another.
00:42:55Everyone have the freedom in Israel.
00:42:57Like, you can have any religion.
00:42:59You can do whatever you want in Israel,
00:43:02but only in Israel in the Middle East.
00:43:03A lot of it, like, it's a lot of it's a lot of misinformation.
00:43:07Some of it comes from misinformation.
00:43:10Some of it comes from ignorance.
00:43:12Some of it comes from lies.
00:43:14And it's very hard to deal with that in any kind of a positive way
00:43:18when they're coming from such a place of not understanding
00:43:21what the reality of the situation,
00:43:23when they just have this in their, in their head,
00:43:25all this misinformation and all these lies.
00:43:28I mean, somehow pro-Palestinian has become pro-social justice.
00:43:33I wanted to know answers from within my own community,
00:43:39and nobody could answer those questions for me.
00:43:42How is it that I am, like, the best the Jewish community has to offer?
00:43:46I've been through all the trainings, all the programs,
00:43:49and I don't know what the occupation is.
00:43:51I don't know what the settlements are.
00:43:55Eventually, it got to a point where I found myself wanting answers
00:43:59to the questions the Palestinian students were asking.
00:44:02And so it led me on a process of trying to go figure those things out for myself.
00:44:12What is this thing that is so horrifying that you can't bear to let me see it?
00:44:15The summer after my freshman year, I went to Palestine,
00:44:25and I knowingly crossed the line for the first time.
00:44:29I don't think I realized the extent to which what I would come to see on the ground
00:44:52would really shock me and horrify me.
00:44:54So if you look at your maps,
00:44:57we're standing, again, right before it's going to turn red,
00:45:02just over here where the soldiers are standing.
00:45:06So just look behind you guys.
00:45:08This is a block of houses.
00:45:10The people living in all these apartments here
00:45:12were not allowed to walk on this main road.
00:45:13So this was like a red road, a sterilized road.
00:45:17And imagine if you're a family living here,
00:45:18you can't open the front door of your house and walk out.
00:45:22I'm listening to Palestinian students talking about
00:45:26what it was like being beaten at a checkpoint
00:45:29and sitting down with a Palestinian family
00:45:32and hearing their story about being displaced by Israeli settlers.
00:45:37And even when we fix the water wells
00:45:43and we try to cultivate the rainwater to come into the water wells,
00:45:49even those things are being attacked by the settlers.
00:45:52Either they throw stones in them
00:45:54or they throw chemicals in them
00:45:57or they throw dead animals in the wells.
00:46:00So he's saying, first, he welcomes you
00:46:04and says, you know, thank you very much for coming,
00:46:07especially because you're Jewish.
00:46:09The area here is populated by Palestinian farmers.
00:46:16Supreme Court in Israel ruled that they're allowed
00:46:18to live in the caves that are here.
00:46:20They're not allowed to build anything.
00:46:24Today, the civil administration and the army came
00:46:27and demolished some of the tents here.
00:46:30Something is deeply wrong here and it's breaking my heart.
00:46:42What we've been told is that the only way
00:46:45that Jews can be safe is if Palestinians are not safe.
00:46:50And I guess the more I learned about that,
00:46:54the more I came to see that as a lie.
00:47:00So this is the checkpoint that divides Jerusalem from Bethlehem.
00:47:14Palestinians definitely cannot drive on this road.
00:47:17So you can see that we're basically driving
00:47:20with walls on both sides of us right now.
00:47:22You want to go to, like, the major square or where do you want to go?
00:47:41We're in your head, man.
00:47:46This is my barber.
00:48:00A big winter special.
00:48:01Como alguém que veio ver Jerusalém ou Tel Aviv
00:48:08As lugares que eu deveria imaginar como casa
00:48:09Eu me lembro de vir para o West Bank
00:48:12Para a primeira vez e ver esse lugar
00:48:15Como uma casa de alguém
00:48:16Esse é um lugar normal onde as pessoas estão tentando viver suas vidas
00:48:20Para mim, para chegar a Jerusalém
00:48:25Eu tenho que pensar em primeiro lugar
00:48:26Ter o permissão, chegar no checkpoint
00:48:29Esperar na linha do checkpoint
00:48:31Chegando para os soldados no checkpoint
00:48:33O soldado pode fazer algo para mim
00:48:36Inclusive me enviar de volta
00:48:37E depois cruzar o checkpoint
00:48:38E depois ter que tomar transporte público
00:48:40É só o fato de que eu não posso dirigir
00:48:42As a Palestina, eu não posso dirigir
00:48:45Em Jerusalém ou em qualquer lugar em Israel
00:48:47Então nós dirigimos aqui hoje
00:48:48E se eu estou em casa por 10pm
00:48:51E eu estou atingindo no outro lado
00:48:52Então eu poderia ser detenido
00:48:54Eu poderia perder meu permissão
00:48:55Eu poderia ser colocado em prisão
00:48:57Eu poderia ser...
00:48:59Beaten up por soldados
00:49:01Quem não sabe o que vai acontecer com mim
00:50:03Ou a única maneira de manter a nossa vida
00:50:05É criar um mecanismo muito
00:50:07um mecanismo de segurança
00:50:10que impediria isso de acontecer de novo.
00:50:13Eu quero dizer, isso é o que eu aprendi.
00:50:16Sim, isso é o que eu ouvi.
00:50:21O que é importante para muitos dos israelis e os jovens de todo o mundo que falamos
00:50:26é a simples reconhecimento e reconhecimento da história.
00:50:31E essa história é onde o trabalho de cura.
00:50:37Como um ativista, eu acho que para muitos ativistas, o que nos mantém é a capacidade de olhar para o futuro.
00:50:48Eu realmente acredito que há uma emergente abençada dentro da comunidade americana de jovens.
00:50:56Eu tive até alguns jovens americanos que vêm aqui e dizem,
00:51:04nós vimos para Israel e saímos de palestina.
00:51:11Para os americanos vêm aqui e ouvir nós e ouvir nós e ouvir nossa humanidade,
00:51:15e entender que nós não estamos apenas sentados em bancos,
00:51:19planejando o próximo ataque contra os israelis.
00:51:22Nós temos um desejo de viver em paz e ter a nossa liberdade.
00:51:26Eles passam em nossas estrelas e comer em restaurantes.
00:51:28E é louco que eu tenho que dizer isso,
00:51:31que nós somos seres humanos humanos
00:51:33que só queremos sobreviver e viver como outras pessoas do mundo do mundo.
00:51:36em todo mundo.
00:51:40O momento que eles veem isso e experimentam isso por si mesmos,
00:51:42isso criou algo em eles.
00:51:44Isso muda algo em eles.
00:51:45O que eles fazem com isso, quando eles voltam,
00:51:49é uma responsabilidade deles.
00:51:51Eu vim para casa e falo.
00:52:08Eu acho que inicialmente foi muito doloroso e choque para muitas pessoas.
00:52:12Eu tive amigos da escola e da escola
00:52:16que não sabia como falar para mim no começo,
00:52:19porque essas conversas foram fechadas para nós.
00:52:25Eu creio muito bem como um produto
00:52:28de essa mobilização massada
00:52:31de comunidade para garantir que jovens
00:52:33ficam envolvidos em política de pro-Israel.
00:52:39Para a maioria das pessoas que eu conheço,
00:52:41que realmente tomou o tempo para ver com seus olhos
00:52:44o que estava acontecendo,
00:52:45é muito rapidamente desafiado
00:52:48tudo que nós nos ensinamos.
00:52:50É muito doloroso,
00:52:52porque é tão intimamente bound-se
00:52:55com a identidade da comunidade.
00:53:01Há sempre houve judeus
00:53:03que falaram para o respeito palestinense,
00:53:05e mais e mais pessoas
00:53:06que são capazes de tirar os seus blindos,
00:53:09olhando para essa realidade,
00:53:10dizendo que isso é intolerável.
00:53:12Eu continuo a encontrar mais e mais jovens como eu,
00:53:15que estavam tendo experiências parecidas,
00:53:17que estavam tendo experiências parecidas.
00:53:19Eu continuo a encontrar mais e mais jovens como eu,
00:53:20que estavam tendo experiências parecidas.
00:53:22que estavam tendo experiências parecidas,
00:53:24que estavam tendo experiências parecidas.
00:53:25e eu continuo a encontrar mais e mais jovens como eu,
00:53:28que estavam tendo experiências parecidas.
00:53:31mais e mais jovens como eu,
00:53:33que estavam tendo experiências parecidas parecidas.
00:53:37E isso me fez perceber que eu era parte
00:53:40de uma história maior,
00:53:41de algo que estava acontecendo,
00:53:43não só para mim,
00:53:44mas para jovens em todo o país.
00:53:46Nós decidimos trazer a crise de apoio americano e jovens para Israel
00:53:53para as portas de jovens instituições
00:53:56para forçar essa conversa em público.
00:53:58Música
00:54:26Música
00:54:30Música
00:54:46Música
00:54:48Música
00:54:54Música
00:55:22Música
00:55:50A indoctrinação é tão severa,
00:55:54é quase difícil ter uma conversa sobre isso.
00:55:58É heartbreaking.
00:56:01É heartbreaking.
00:56:03A nossa comunidade agora tem que grapple com a nossa complicidade.
00:56:09E nós gostarmos de convivirmos você para a Júlia!
00:56:14A Júlia!
00:56:16A Júlia de opinião é split.
00:56:19Algumas grupos de jovens votos opõem Israel's políticas de militares.
00:56:24Mais de 1,000 ativistas de júlia em Washington, D.C. Sunday para protestar AIPAC.
00:56:30Então nós dizemos alguns dos mais conservadores e irmãs no interior
00:56:35que vocês não representam o melhor dos júlia de profeta tradicionais.
00:56:40E nós vamos ouvir a Baila do Júlia!
00:56:44É um dia novo agora.
00:57:16E Israel's well aware of it.
00:57:21Human will and commitment can change things.
00:57:26Meu nome é Talia.
00:57:27Essa é a primeira vez que estou usando meu próprio nome
00:57:31para estar em solidariedade com os palestinos.
00:57:34E eu nunca pensava em minha vida
00:57:37que eu estaria com tantos júlia para palestinos.
00:57:39Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:41Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:43Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:45Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:47Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:49Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:52Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:54Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:56Eu sou um rabbi.
00:57:58Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:00Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:02Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:06Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:08Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:10Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:13Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:15Eu sou um rabbi.
00:58:17Eu sou rabbi.
00:58:17Eu sou rabbi.
00:58:18Eu sou rabbi.
00:58:19Do I sou rabbi?
00:58:20Isso é um rabbi ébido.
00:58:21Eu sou rabbi.
00:58:23Seis rabbi.
00:58:23Seis rabbi.
00:58:24Algumas saíram.
00:58:25Apenas as rei-pondes?
00:58:26Um rabbi.
00:58:27Eu sou rabbi.
00:58:28Agora, as rei-pondes,
00:58:30agora há grausas,
00:58:31a rei-ponada.
00:58:32Neste desigualdade de vida.
00:58:34E o que vai você recomendar?
00:58:35Eu recomendar liberdade.
00:58:38Apenas o legume da vida.
00:58:41Apenas o desafio on o subjuno.
00:58:43Trying to keep that moral and spiritual dimension strong.
00:58:51Because any time you cut against the grain, you're going to catch hell.
00:59:13Anti-occupation Jews are blocking Damascus State.
00:59:25Anti-occupation!
00:59:27Israeli Jews say!
00:59:30Anti-occupation!
00:59:32Anti-occupation!
00:59:34I don't think it's as serious as it's made up to be, okay? They're entitled, that's fine, okay? I don't think they represent much. I think they're a little super naive.
01:00:00I think most American Jews, even though they have different views on settlements or occupation, I think that's still a decision at the end of the day they're going to leave for the Israelis to make.
01:00:12As long as Israel is under threat, and as strong as it is, and as dynamic as it is, it's still under threat from its neighbors.
01:00:23And a hundred thousand missiles, we postpone that philosophical debate to another time.
01:00:30Palestinians are so dehumanized in the community that it's really hard for people to figure out how to even understand Palestinians' legitimate rights and claims to the land.
01:00:52Palestinians gathered for protests at the Israeli-Gaza border.
01:00:59They're demanding the right to return to lands from which they were forced out in 1948.
01:01:05At least 55 Palestinians died Monday during mass protests. Israeli troops fired on the demonstrators.
01:01:13Palestinians, Israeli troops fired on the demonstrators.
01:01:26Look at the more recent Gaza demonstrations. Ask yourself the question, if the Mexicans stood at the border and marched a million Mexicans or 20,000 Mexicans, what would America do?
01:01:38You know, first they would try tear gas, and then it was that, and eventually would have to shoot.
01:01:45There are a lot of Jewish young people who see a Jewish establishment that is racist, that is nationalistic.
01:01:54Israel is in the Middle East and not the Midwest. So the neighbors are not necessarily the Jones or the Smiths.
01:02:00I don't want war, but it's been imposed on us. So we should do right and defeat the terrorists.
01:02:09We don't want to be a part of that, but we are actually building an alternative.
01:02:15I've been involved in this work for about a decade.
01:02:24I was seen as a face of this young, growing Jewish resistance to the American Jewish establishment.
01:02:32It made perfect sense to me that Bernie would hire someone like me as a Jewish outreach coordinator.
01:02:39Within about 48 hours of being on the campaign, the attacks started rolling in.
01:02:46These old men from the Jewish establishment came out to say, you know, that I was dangerous, that I was a threat.
01:02:57A journalist wrote an article about me. The headline was, Bernie Sanders, new Jewish outreach coordinator, is an outspoken critic of Israeli occupation.
01:03:11The next headline that I found out about when I walked into work was,
01:03:14Abe Foxman calls on Sanders to fire new Jewish community liaison for, quote, anti-Israel comments.
01:03:21On Thursday, the Sanders campaign suspended its new national Jewish outreach coordinator, Simone Zimmerman, two days after she was hired.
01:03:35So as far as I'm aware, this was Abe Foxman's first comment in public since his retirement from the ADL.
01:03:41And he came out of retirement to defend the world from the great threat of Simone Zimmerman.
01:03:48It hurts me for a Jewish kid to stand up there and say justice for the Palestinians and not saying justice for the Israelis.
01:03:58Troubles me, hurts me, bothers me, means we failed.
01:04:02We failed in educating and explaining, et cetera.
01:04:08When we talk about we're losing the kids, we lost them.
01:04:13Birthright participants staged a protest walkout.
01:04:16Five of us will be keeping to learn about the occupation from the perspectives of Palestinians and IDF soldiers.
01:04:20Thank you, thank you very much.
01:04:21You cannot be a tyrant on this battle and get off the bus.
01:04:23No, no, no.
01:04:24Go to Palestine.
01:04:25Just go.
01:04:26Because guess what's going to happen?
01:04:27You're going to get killed, you're going to get raped.
01:04:28We're seeing that many millennials are becoming disenchanted with Israel and I take a very different approach on this.
01:04:49I say to them, we need to love Israel even more.
01:04:52Boycott, birthright, that's our plan.
01:04:55No free trips on stolen land.
01:04:58Boycott, birthright, that's our plan.
01:05:00I'm a young man.
01:05:01It means that we who are the older generation have much more work to do.
01:05:08This whole communal obsession with defending Israel has basically warped into seeing someone like me as a threat to the community.
01:05:21The word that I used to hear a lot was self-hating Jew.
01:05:25Like, the only way that a Jewish person could possibly care about the humanity of Palestinians is if you hate yourself.
01:05:33Let's see what I find in here.
01:05:42You are a self-loathing Jew. Go kill yourself.
01:05:46With Jews like you, who needs ignorant, racist, bigot Arabs?
01:05:51You work against our people, you're an anti-Semitic Jew, you've been working for the enemy.
01:05:57Simone Zimmerman, another member of the lunatic anti-Semitic far left.
01:06:02There's always been this argument of, oh, you can't criticize Israel. Criticizing Israel feeds anti-Semitism. Criticizing Israel helps the enemies of Israel.
01:06:15As more and more American Jews are speaking out in support of Palestinian freedom,
01:06:21now they just say instead, we're overt anti-Semites, we hate all Jewish people, or even worse, that we're not Jewish at all.
01:06:28We are attacked as being not really Jewish if we are not supportive of Israel.
01:06:35And that's where you start seeing just the blanket delegitimization of an entire sector of American Jewish society.
01:06:42Focusing on this so-called new anti-Semitism.
01:06:46And then came the new anti-Semitism, which was the anti-Semitism relating to Israel.
01:06:52What some have said that Israel became the Jew of the nations.
01:06:57In the same way that historically, you know, whatever was permitted for everybody else was not permitted for the Jew.
01:07:04Now Israel was singled out.
01:07:07So many of the self-appointed leaders of our community have been trying to equate the idea of supporting Palestinian rights itself with anti-Semitism.
01:07:16This is about anti-Israel, anti-Semitic attitude.
01:07:20Classic new anti-Semitism.
01:07:22The extreme left has a long history of anti-Semitism, of anti-Israel hatred.
01:07:28How stupid have they been for all these years voting for Obama and other anti-Semites like him?
01:07:37Unwillingness to grapple with Palestinian suffering is putting a lot of American Jews in a really dangerous and sad position.
01:07:47How far will Jewish Americans go in the effort to quash pressure on Israel?
01:07:54You know, how far will people go?
01:07:56It's hard to see how far they won't go if this is where things are today.
01:08:05At the end of the day, pro-Israel leaders want to be in the room with the people in power.
01:08:11They will do anything to preserve unconditional support for Israel.
01:08:17Thank you.
01:08:20When I become president, the days of treating Israel like a second-class citizen will end on day one.
01:08:33History is not going to judge us kindly.
01:08:36I'd like to say that we were blessed by heaven with Donald Trump being elected president of the United States.
01:08:44We should pray that they should remain in office and that he should continue to do the great things he does on behalf of the United States of America and on behalf of Israel.
01:08:57We're seeing like a horrifying culmination of what support of Israel at all costs has led to.
01:09:02Disregarding any lesson of history, disregarding any sort of morality.
01:09:13The great irony of having this be where we are today within the Jewish community is that there actually is resurgent anti-Semitism.
01:09:20The kind that I think my generation and the generations that have come after me never thought we'd see in our lifetimes.
01:09:29Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!
01:09:33In the US, a couple of things have been happening that will go to Trump or Trumpism.
01:09:40It's not a question, is he a bigot? Is he? I don't think he's a bigot. I think he is what he is.
01:09:45I don't think he's a racist. I don't think he's an anti-Semite. I think you can call him all kinds of things.
01:09:50The community has spent so much time attacking anyone who criticizes Israel when there are actual threats to our community.
01:10:02That's led our communal institutions to basically be silent in the face of rising white nationalism.
01:10:09Jews will not replace us! Jews will not replace us! Jews will not replace us!
01:10:18The way that we talk about anti-Semitism isn't about protecting Jews, it's about protecting Israel.
01:10:24How dangerous is that at this moment with the rise of anti-Semitism?
01:10:33And often, when American politicians are asked about anti-Semitism, they talk about their support for Israel.
01:10:41Support for Israel today is actually replacing what it means to be a Jew.
01:10:49These people have basically decided that support for Israel is more important than the safety of Jews.
01:10:57We're not going to say anything about the spreading of these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
01:11:02We have seen a tremendous amount of this use of vile anti-Semitic tropes.
01:11:09The thread talks about a Jewish plot to enslave people in the United States.
01:11:13Anti-Semitic flyers steeped in COVID-19 conspiracies saying every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish.
01:11:20That's the way the Jews work. They are deceivers. They plot. They lie. They do whatever they have to do.
01:11:30What do they have to do?
01:11:38The gunman told a SWAT officer that he wanted all Jews to die and that they were committing genocide against his people.
01:11:45It's a profoundly sad moment and I think it's a tipping moment.
01:12:05These anti-Semitic nightmares that we all, like, it's all coming to life in front of our eyes.
01:12:10I can't help but think about all the American Jewish organizations that have spent the last decade pouring millions of dollars into smearing and marginalizing human rights advocates.
01:12:27Jewish, Palestinian, and not. Trying to brand Palestinian protest as anti-Semitic.
01:12:33When there were neo-Nazis trying to kill us in our synagogues.
01:12:44My parents' and grandparents' generation grew up in a world in which Jews were not safe.
01:12:51They invested so much in the idea that Jews could only be safe through Israel.
01:12:58But our safety and our security is actually bound up in the safety and the security of all people.
01:13:08The most powerful pro-Israel lobby in the country are now donating money to Republican politicians who either incited or continue to support the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
01:13:23That's part of a politics of solidarity.
01:13:29And it feels totally morally coherent and morally urgent to support freedom and dignity for all people in all the places that we live.
01:13:41Palestinians have already been telling us this for decades.
01:13:45So, guys, here is the world.
01:13:49But the world is finally coming to catch up.
01:13:57For me, I would say if anybody has any influence on Israeli policy, and I say this with a big F, it is the American Jewish community.
01:14:06The American Jewish community have the potential to have the greatest influence in shifting our reality outside of this land.
01:14:16For many people around the world, when they see the voice of the Jewish community rise and protest against this occupation, it will allow other voices to say, yes, we could also have a voice in it as well.
01:14:28Now we're doing joint work in trying to end this occupation and bringing peace and justice into this land.
01:14:38The most inspiring experiences I had are with Jewish Americans that come in and take a stand.
01:14:45We're going to hear tonight a number of personal stories.
01:14:52At some point, you guys decided to, quote unquote, break the silence.
01:14:58And I'm interested, was there a particular moment that led you to this?
01:15:01In 2008, I joined the military.
01:15:06In America, we have this concept of innocent until proven guilty.
01:15:10There is no innocent Palestinian, according to the army.
01:15:13That's so not true.
01:15:14Inoccupied territory.
01:15:16Quiet down, please.
01:15:17Get out of here.
01:15:18I mean, come on, you're lying.
01:15:19That's a lie.
01:15:21It's not a lie.
01:15:23What we're talking about is not giving Palestinians the right that we of Israelis have.
01:15:28And that's apartheid.
01:15:31To go against the grain is not an easy thing to do.
01:15:36So I did not speak about my experiences in the occupation publicly until very recently.
01:15:44I was afraid that I would be demonized.
01:15:47I've seen friends of mine be demonized for speaking out about the same things.
01:15:52The first time I ever spoke publicly about my experiences, I cried the whole time that I was speaking.
01:16:05It's gotten a little bit easier to talk about since then because I have taken the time to process it.
01:16:12But that doesn't mean it's easy anytime I talk about these experiences.
01:16:17But we can't wait any longer.
01:16:21I've been longing for this Jewish conversation for 17 years.
01:16:39We're here today to talk about some things that are often can feel impossible in the Jewish community.
01:16:51These conversations can happen.
01:16:53We are not risking our Jewish history.
01:16:55You are not closing a door to the rest of your Jewish life.
01:16:58All that we have to risk is our denial.
01:17:02I can start.
01:17:04My high school had an Israel studies class all about when you get to college and people start telling you about Israel being an apartheid state, this is how you respond.
01:17:13From my summer camp and my youth movement, one of the core tenets of it was the Jewish state needed to be built.
01:17:19And just no questioning of what price we were really willing to pay or willing to make Palestinians pay.
01:17:26As an Israeli, the Palestinian identity itself is not something I had to learn that it exists.
01:17:32Right.
01:17:33So slowly as I came to learn that the occupation exists, I started learning that there is another narrative.
01:17:40We're here to talk about the history that's often referred to as the Nakba.
01:17:46750,000 people displaced from their homes.
01:17:51At least 400 villages undone in their entirety.
01:17:55The colonization is also ongoing.
01:17:59The ongoing Nakba, the continued, not just the historical, but the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
01:18:07I have been blessed to witness the ways that Palestinian society continue to find ways to thrive.
01:18:13But we can't deny that there has been catastrophe and that it's been catastrophic, the scale of loss.
01:18:20We're really here to teach each other, but I think nothing's as important as action.
01:18:25Because we are talking about ongoing displacement.
01:18:27People might tell you that if you stand up for Palestinian rights, that you aren't really Jewish, that you're maybe a self-hating Jew.
01:18:37As a rabbi, what I see when I look at the work of solidarity is a long chain of Jewish history.
01:18:43This chain of people, of ancestors and texts and traditions that are about justice and fighting for it.
01:18:51Jewish tradition tells us to envision a world where all people are safe and free.
01:18:56To never stop fighting for that world.
01:18:59So may you all feel blessed in a tradition of liberation.
01:19:02And may you be blessed to know you're not alone.
01:19:07And let's get to work.
