"Zionist Jews in America don't have anything to their Judaism except for Zionism. Zionism has emptied Judaism of meaning. It's the same for most non-practicing Israelis, so I don't want to exceptionalize this as a problem of the American Jewish left."

"Forty-one percent of Americans now say they sympathize more with the Palestinians in the Middle East situation, while 36% still sympathize more with the Israelis." (Gallop Poll, 27 Feb 2026)
"More than 69,000 Israelis left the country in 2025, leading the country to record a negative migration balance for the second straight year." (Times of Israel, 31 Dec 2025)

The Israeli 'Defense' Forces (IDF) have killed over 72,285 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children, since the beginning of the Likud junta pogrom on 7 October 2023. At least 172,028 have been maimed or injured.
These numbers are underestimates since Palestinian bodies have been either nebulized by US-made thermobaric bombs or are still under rubble.
The NYT reported that the IDF created an "army of orphans" and a "legion of amputees" in the Gaza Strip.
International arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague remain active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF General Yoav Gallant. In addition, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals.
Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, Messrs Netanyahu and Gallant must both be presumed innocent until they are proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for them in the Hague at future dates.

"Italian PM Giorgia Meloni: "The bases used by the US in Italy derive from agreements signed in 1954 and which have been updated since then by various governments. According to those agreements there are technical authorizations when it comes to logistics and non-kinetic operations that do not involve, put simply, bombing."
