The mask is off. The oppression and its multiple brutal forms are clear. Now, the question is: will you join the movement?
As I partly refer to them in my short video above, today I want to share with you some questions that just couldn’t escape my mind — and that show how standing with the Palestinian people is so much more than standing with someone from Palestine.
Mostly, these questions come from having seen and heard people justifying the killing of civilians, people being “OK” with over 5,000 children killed by Israeli forces, and people shrugging shoulders to war crimes captured on camera.
I don’t believe you’re one of them. But here are those questions.
In the end, they might be what YOU, in general, are about.
So:
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with doctors?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with journalists?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with humanitarian workers?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with human rights organisations?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with international law lawyers?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with scholars?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with Israeli peace protestors?
Do you stand with the Israeli government or do you stand with Jewish voices for peace around the world?
Do you stand with the occupier or do you stand with the occupied?
Do you stand with the ones fine with killing over 5,000 children in over a month or do you stand with the children?
Do you stand with the children?
Do you stand with the children?

Today or any day, I encourage you not to pledge allegiance to any government.
Especially when it forces you to answer any question in ways that diminish your own humanity.
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

What, According to My Government, Other Countries Can Learn from Israel
This is the most straightforward way I can put it: just like there are countries in history known for their collaboration with the Nazi regime, my country, Lithuania, has inscribed itself as one of the staunchest supporters of Israel, no matter the scale, depravity, or geography of its crimes. See if my rage resonates with…
