My oped in Haaretz dropped today on the Netanyahu speech disruption. Check it out:
Netanyahu had sharp words for the protesters. “Attempts by our enemies and their misguided fellow travelers to delegitimize the Jewish state must be countered,” he said to thunderous applause.
I’m one of the five who was dragged out, clutching a sign that said, “The occupation delegitimizes Israel.” When I envision Israel ending settlement expansion and living in equality with the Palestinians – while Netanyahu’s government confiscates more Palestinian land and builds more settlements every single day – I wonder who is misguided?
We young Jews won’t back down, our numbers are growing, and we will win. Israel will change its cruel, self-destructive behavior. We won’t rest until Israelis and Palestinians live together in true equality, safety and mutual respect.
Dear reader, please do me a favor… Click through and read the oped, then please post a comment on the Haaretz comment board. Really, please do it right now. Haaretz readers need to hear the voices of Mondoweiss readers. Thank you for your support!
