A couple of weeks ago I wrote this: "The state for the oppressed became the oppressor state." https://peternightingale.substack.com/p/the-state-for-the-oppressed-became One of my friends responded writing: "The letter from Ben Gurion to his son is a real eye opener." As those who might follow the link in my post will notice, the letter is posted on a Jewish Voice for Peace website. That's not a coincidence. I was a member in 2017. I'm a hard-core secular humanist. I still have the reservations I had in those days: to identify me I don't like to use categories based on a faith I completely lack. But, life is complicated and I support Jewish Voice for Peace and the (secular) values it stands for. One of those is that, at all times, it is the duty of thinking people to be on the side of the oppressed.

I think the state of Israel is enormously successful at deflecting all criticism of their attempts at cultural apartheid and genocide against Palestine and Palestinians as antisemitic thereby escaping all moral accountability.
