"Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.
For many Jews in the diaspora, Israel was framed as a beacon of freedom, a place of refuge in the event of pogroms or genocide.
But what if the victims of the Nazi genocide are now perpetrating a genocide against the Palestinians?
The Jewish community is undergoing a long-overdue moral reckoning with its identity, role and responsibility. Only some are meeting the moment."
