What does Cleveland have to do with Palestine? As the genocide in Gaza continues, many have asked why Cleveland keeps mobilizing, showing up to City Hall & demonstrating in the streets. The answer: the U.S. plays a huge role in funding Palestinian oppression—Cleveland included.🧵

Jewish critics of Israel & supporters of Palestinian liberation are often called “kapos” — it’s a hateful slur, the worst accusation one Jew can make about another — and an absolute oxymoron. Here’s a helpful breakdown of its meaning & usage.

Furthermore, the school states: "The term "genocide" carries immense weight and historical significance, and its usage in the context of the Israeli-Hamas war is

Historically, kapos were Jews forced to work for Nazis in concentration camps under threat of death. Now the word is often used as a slur to describe Jews who criticize Israel, with the implication that they are sacrificing the Jewish people for their own self-preservation.

This usage of the word trivializes & weaponizes the memory of the Holocaust against Jewish people who understand that “never again” means “never again for anyone.” Our interest in the safety & lives of others is in fact the opposite of being a kapo.
