another day another 2 hour despair sesh on the phone with my mum about Palestine
#red said
#apparently the British Society of Friends won't allow an epistle that mentions 'the war in Gaza' in case it upsets 'the Jewish community'
#literally MENTIONING THAT THERE IS A WAR
#bc mum and the rest of the meeting agreed to remove reference to it starting on October 7th WHICH IT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT there are concerns
#about Appearing Antisemitic. by MENTIONING THAT IT'S HAPPENING WITHOUT BLAMING KHAMAS
#the justification. apparently. is that we're already on thin ice with The Jewish Community because of Quaker activities in Palestine
#which have been largely to do with challenging apartheid and trying to help broker peace processes
#so me and mum are both like. ok so are we pro Palestine or pro genocide as an organisation?
#because if we think Genocide Is Bad then we should not be afraid to say We Think Genocide Is Bad
#and we can also say We Think Antisemitism Is Bad because SHOCK FUCKING HORROR not all Jews represent the State of Israel
#in fact basically none of them do
#anyway whatever the fuck happened to plain speaking i wanna know
#when in history have the faction of Quakers who wanted to never upset anyone been the drivers of change?
#wasn't the Quakers going 'obviously we are anti slavery but we shouldn't SAY that in case we upset White People' who we remember positively
#they're also changing dates on a lecture Corbyn was due to give in order to avoid accusations of antisemitism
#to which i have GOT to ask. 5 months into a genocide and we're STILL giving credence to the idea that criticising Israel is antisemitism?
#i will scream until my lungs pop
