This #NakbaDay, 100s of our members sent photos opposing the #OngoingNakba in Jerusalem.

Our Jewish solidarity shows that Israel's expulsions are not about religion but about land theft, ethnic cleansing, and ethnic supremacy — just as they were in 1948.

In Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, 1,500 Palestinians face the threat of forced displacement and home demolitions by Israeli settlers working in collusion with the Israeli government and military.

Most families in these neighborhoods are refugees from the beginning of the Nakba in 1948, when Zionist militas violently expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. For them, their impending forced displacement in 2021 is especially painful.

Whether in 1948 or 2021, expulsions of Palestinians are the result of the same settler-colonial project: Zionism. In the settlers' own words, this wave of Israeli settler home theft is a “continuation of the Zionist project,” which has been executed “at Arabs’ expense."

As Jews, our solidarity with the Palestinians of Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan undermines the narratives of Israeli settlers, who claim that their violence both serves and represents all Jews and Judaism.

We unequivocally stand with Palestinians working to end the ongoing Nakba.
