Two progressive Jewish organizations have issued responses to the ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas, saying that an Israeli "apartheid" has caused the violence.
Over the weekend, Hamas launched the deadliest Palestinian militant attack on Israel in history. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) then launched a subsequent attack on the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his country is "at war" and has cut off supplies of food, fuel, electricity and medicine into Gaza.
In a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, the Jewish organization, If Not Now, who call themselves "a movement of American Jews organizing our community to end U.S. support for Israel's apartheid system", wrote that they are "horrified" by the violence but noted that "we refuse to let our grief be used to justify revenge or genocide of Palestinians."
"We're reckoning with the fact that the Israeli government has failed Israelis and Palestinians by perpetuating a system of apartheid for decades, without concern for the consequences to their citizens. That's what's led us here," If Not Now said in another post. "As Israeli leaders advocate for genocide and ethnic cleansing, it is reckless and unconscionable for the US government to be sending additional military aid to Israel, especially offensive weapons. Deescalation will save lives."

The Jewish Voice for Peace Action, which says they are the "largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world" that started in California, made a similar post on X, saying "The killing of civilians - Palestinian and Israeli - is horrific and a clear violation of international law....That is why we must upend US support for the decades of Israeli occupation and apartheid.
"Every single Israeli and Palestinian life is precious. That is why we do this work. That is why we must end apartheid," the organization said.

I’m guessing that members of these groups supported vaccine mandates, masking, and other authoritarian measures.
AOL Fan Club
Are they upset there weren’t enough babies slaughtered?
And we should care because why?
The so-called “apartied” is a consequence of the Arabs actions.
Need to ask them how their god Baal is doing.
There is NOTHING worse than a self hating Jew..just like with self hating whites, these self hating Jews are no different..gee I wonder how they would act with their heads cut off just asking
UNBELIEVABLE!
The commie piggies have got Caucasians hating themselves and Jew hating themselves. What the hell are they putting in the water?
Oh, self loathers eh. Fidiots!
Well the one group says they’re “Progressive”...Hillary’s favorite word.
At any point in the last 70 years Israel would have welcomed friendship and cooperation with the Arabs of the Levant. But it takes two to make peace and the Arabs weren't interested.
Israel should disassemble the Magic Mosque of Jerusalem, pack it in crates, and dump in the Arab desert somewhere with instructions on how to put it back together.
I’m guessing they’d see things differently if Hamas sent them videos of their own loved ones being tortured and raped and murdered. But some would probably still blame Israel.
The Kapo Caucus.
From the Wikipedia long list showing togetherness within the legislative body the Knesset that rules Israel’s government:
“There have been Israeli Arab members of the Knesset ever since the first Knesset elections in 1949. The following is a list of the 100 past and present members.....
And why would citizens want to associate closely with Muslims who have stated they want to kill Jews and other infidels and idolaters? Staying friends from a distance makes sense.
Spot on!
LOL....Wonder if they shared this with Hamas Terrorism Group ??? Dah!
They can't tell the difference between resistance and death cult terrorist slaughter.
Progressive = delusional and self-absorbed
Self hating Jews and whites?
What about ethnic identification requires one to have a particular opinion?
South Africans pine for the days of apartheid. Surrendering to the barbarians was suicidal.
True.
