Cambridge, MA, November 16 – What’s going on in Gaza is demonic, disastrous. Catastrophic. Evil. We must oppose it by every means possible, resist the genocide and dispossession that’s been going on for 75 years. Fight! I will do so by finding visibly-Jewish people and accosting them.
Some resist by firing missiles at Zionist soldiers. Some, by digging tunnels. Others, by serving as human shields, whether voluntarily or otherwise. Still others use their talent stack to advocate for the Palestinian cause in legacy and social media. Me, I find Jews far away from Israel and attack them.
All people of conscience must do their part. We do not all have ready access to the glory inherent in direct confrontation with the Zionist enemy. Not everyone is privileged to break free of the Gaza prison to go on a killing, raping, mutilating, beheading, immolating, kidnapping, looting spree. But the rest of us outside Gaza and Israel can still participate, if not directly, in supporting roles, such as donating to Hamas-affiliated charities, ripping down posters of kidnapped Israeli children, going on television or Twitter to deny Hamas atrocities, and plain old threats or outright violence against Jews, wherever we are.
I understand that some might dismiss such actions, so distant from the central theater of battle, as cowardice, or at the very least, as a waste of time. Not so. Opposition to Israel has seldom restricted itself to the minor territorial conflict between the River and the Sea. The global brouhaha that erupts each time a Palestinian stubs his toe or Israel does something that every other country does in analogous situations, demonstrates that the importance of that conflict is belied by its insignificant body count relative to most other conflicts of the last century, even across multiple decades. I know that I fight the same war here at Harvard; my comrades fight the same war at the Cooper Union library in New York, at the University of Pennsylvania, at Columbia – even in the streets of London. Every expression of animosity toward Jews, every move toward violence, has an effect.
Do not feel deprived or unimportant simply because your direct action takes place far from the main arena. Your contribution, even just making Jews feel unsafe, will ultimately make them move to Israel, where Iran can destroy them once and for all.
But once the Jews are gone I will have to find a different scapegoat for none of the major law firms wanting to have anything to do with me.
