@sajewsforfreepalestine: 40 days of starvation For 40 days, Israel has blocked all the essentials of life from reaching 2.3 million Palestinians civilians in Gaza. In the Torah, 40 days and 40 nights are a metaphor for an extended time. These 40 days have indeed been endless, barbaric – and Israel’s crime of starvation continues. This weekend we enter the Jewish festival of Pesach. Around the world, we will open our services by saying, Let all who are hungry come and eat. Each year we envision liberation, but this year is not like the other years. This year, these words feel unbearable. Pesach teaches us that the most odious crime is one people’s subjugation of another: a crime built on a lie. This year we are shattered by witnessing Gaza struggle each day to survive the crime of genocide, built on the lie of Jewish supremacy. We plead and we work for the end of this needless hunger, for ceasefire, for the justice which underlies real peace. This year we gather to hold back the despair. Next year, may all of Palestine breathe in safety. Global Jews for Palestine
