Over the previous few weeks, protests organized by Jewish Voice for Peace have poignantly made the case in opposition to the slaughter of civilians in Gaza with slogans comparable to “Never again for anyone” and “My grief is not your weapon.” A rabbinical pupil wrote a heartfelt essay for 972Mag about her causes for taking part in a sit-in on Capitol Hill alongside different rabbinical college students and rabbis. Yet those that converse out in opposition to collective punishment for Hamas’s brutal assaults are routinely demonized as antisemitic. By and enormous, it is not protesters who’re extremists; that label belongs to those that dehumanize entire civilian populations.
