Recognition of Palestine
In light of Netanyahu’s crimes against humanity, demanding divestment from Israel until Palestine is recognized as a state seems like a reasonable request to make. The pain inflicted upon the Palestinian people is sufficient.
Beyond the borders of Gaza, a dispersed population is watching, witnessing the destruction of their culture, their universities, their homes, their families. Watching on television, on social media. Seeing those images, and the horror. And witnessing, in real time, the failure of the world to recognize their suffering. We, the world, are blinded by prejudice or anger or distraction or consumption.
The only remedy which begins to address the horrors of our participation in this conflict is the permanent recognition of a Palestinian state.
