““As a Jewish American artist working in a time-based medium, I must note, I’m accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and 76th year of occupation,” said U.S. director Sarah Friedland as she accepted the Luigi de Laurentiis prize for best first film for Familiar Touch.”

Good for her.

It’s very telling how many Jews internationally are passionately anti-Israel. Kudos to them.

These winners are humanitarian and anti-genocide. If Israel gets a sane, non-racist government, then I think most reasonable people wouldn’t criticize Israel, and certainly would support any actions it needs to defend itself. The reality is that there are people who are both anti-Semitic and want Israel to cease to exist for racist reasons. Most people who are anti-genocide are not such people.

If Israel gets a sane, non-racist government

If Israel was run by a sane, non-racist government we would never have had Israel to begin with. People would have recognized how immoral the whole founding of the country is and stopped right then and there.

Zionism doesn’t encompass all Jews. The anti-Israel Jews aren’t necessarily anti-Israel because of the current war or the historical mistreatment and oppression of Palestinians (which are VERY good reasons to dislike Israel as well). They’re anti-Israel because they recognize that Zionism is nothing more than a nationalistic ideal with little to no basis on their faith. The person in this article says as much herself:

It’s not just the war she disagrees with. It’s the existence and justification of Israel as well.

Why shouldn’t the Jewish people have a homeland or their own country?

Sundial ,

Why should it be at the cost of someone else’s homeland?

That’s why a two state solution is the most ethical and humanitarian way forward

Sundial ,

Ethical for whom?

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

read the history of how Palestine was formed, people have been treating each other like shit forever. The future can be better… hopefully idk

Sundial ,

Don’t dodge my question.

In what way is a two-state solution ethical and for whom exactly?

lol I didn’t dodge anything, I am saying that given the historical context of how we’ve arrived at this conflict, there’s really one reasonable option

Sundial ,

You think it’s reasonable to expect a population of people who have been oppressed, displaced, and murdered by foreign colonizers for decades to happily be neighbors with them all of a sudden? And on top of that, you think that’s ethical?
