The map is changing – we must keep resisting

JVL Introduction

Moshe Machover founded Matzpen in Israel before the six day war in 1967 and later moved to the UK.  Here his grandson, also a strong advocate for Palestinian rights, asked some questions about what is happening and what we can do.  Among other things, Moshe  said: “I still think there is a place for a Jewish contingent within a broader movement. Jews have a special role within this because they are put in an embarrassing position by a state that is engaged in genocide, and is claiming to act on their behalf. So Jews have an interest in giving the lie to this false claim. This is basically an antisemitic position, to imply that the Jews are being represented by this genocidal state.”

But much is uncertain as we wait, nervously, for the next stages for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
