Gaza and the #WestBank: Dispatches from Catastrophe (II)
https://world-outlook.com/2026/05/01/gaza-and-the-west-bank-dispatches-from-catastrophe-ii/[2 of 2 parts of a dispatch from #JewishCurrents, with an intro by #WorldOutlook]
May 1, 2026“The resulting testimonies are difficult to read,” says the introduction to these stories. “They show the effects of years of industrialized, live-broadcast massacres and colonization, particularly in #Gaza, where more than 10% of the population is estimated to have been killed or injured in the last two years. The Gaza dispatches are a portal to a place where dystopian science fiction — the exporting of killing to artificial intelligence and robots, the shooting of children lining up for food aid, the crushing of people under air-dropped food parcels — has become reality.”

April 30, 2026In Nov.-Dec.2025, Jewish Currents reached out to some two dozen Palestinians from #Gaza and the #WestBank — all of whom the magazine had previously interviewed after October 7 — to ask them how their lives had changed since they last shared their stories.

“AA: There is also a way to argue, on the flipside, that the project of Israel is essentially a project of assimilation into the Western world order—that there’s nothing inherently Jewish about what Israel is doing, and that it actually represents assimilation into a colonial framework. But then, of course, there’s a way to read this that’s very direct: This is what Jews are doing in the world. Secular Jews, religious Jews, cultural Jews, all kinds of Jews.
EL: You’re absolutely right. That was the strategy we on the Jewish left used for a long time, to say Judaism was colonized and the Zionists are Jewish antisemites, in that they reject what the antisemites reject—the diasporic, exilic, “parasite” Jew—and want instead to become real Europeans. But when so many people who call themselves Jewish are doing things that we have a problem with and calling it “Jewish,” we cannot just dismiss it, or claim that it’s not real Judaism. If you look at statistics, at least in Israel, the support for Netanyahu and the Gaza war, including the most racist genocidal statements, is correlated to how religious people are—the more religious, the more supportive. There were times when you could expect the Haredi communities not to go to the army, not to celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut, Independence Day, not even to speak Hebrew. And that’s changed.”

An important and needed discussion on #JewishCurrents pod about the trafficking of #antisemitism by #farRight influencers under the guise of "antizionism." Focus is on #TuckerCarlson's talk w/ #NickFuentes and #NormanFinkelstein's surreal decision to go on #CandaceOwens's show while providing hardly any pushback to her BS #conspiracism.
Worth a listen for any ppl who think going on fash podcasts can "advance" the cause of Palestine.

#JewishCurrents | "In this episode, editor-at-large Peter Beinart speaks to children’s television star Rachel Griffin Accurso, better known to her fans as #MsRachel, about her advocacy for #PalestinianChildren in #Gaza, tens of thousands of whom have been maimed or killed by #Israel over the last 22 months, with many more enduring a relentless campaign of starvation."

NLR's new issue has an intv w/ #ArielleAngel of #JewishCurrents.
A discussion marred IMO by a stilted, longish attempt by the interviewer to litigate the term genocide wrt #Gaza by contrasting "emotion" vs "precision." (As if 1000s of jurists & numerous govts joining S. Africa v Israel are operating under the throes of "emotion." WTF?) Worth the read tho for *Arielle's* thoughts at least

The article pointed below may help.Vashti published: "Sarah Aziza, through a stirring mix of personal reflection and philosophical reckoning, disabuses the Western witness of its self-gratifying power, instead – amid Israel’s openly broadcast yet unimpeded march towards genocide in Gaza – unmasking the impotence, deceit and hollowness that witnessing currently entails. More than a collective indictment or last-gasp scream of defiance into the void, Aziza’s own testimony guides the reader towards a form of witness no longer elevated in angelic, uncompromised distance, but instead manifest in the embodied, intimate, ego-displacing position of “sacrifice, mourning and resisting.”"

#CurrentlyListening to an excellent conversation with #NaomiKlein via #OnTheNose podcast from #JewishCurrents magazine. It's from last November but it covers a lot of history and it's still very relevant to current (and probably future) events.
