Israel and Jews are treated in the West like special snowflakes, and that we need to seek support, approval, and permission from Jews to denouce Israel’s crimes. Ultimately this wastes energy and distracts from the goal of justice for Palestinians.

Should we have asked ‘Aryans’ and Germans for permission to destroy Nazi Germany? No! Should we have asked whites and Britons for permission to destroy apartheid South Africa? Obviously not.

So why do we ask Jews and Israelis for permission to destroy Israel?
