There is a teaching in Judaism that if a wedding and a funeral procession meet at a crossing, the funeral procession must wait for the wedding to pass, because life always takes precedence over death.

I participated in the South African boycott. You know what I don't remember? Boycotting organizations of SAs trying to end apartheid. Bc the goal was to end apartheid. The goal of BDS isn't to end the occupation, it's to end Israel. Boycotting Standing Together made this clear.
Jewish & Palestinian *actual* activists from
@omdimbeyachad
have been escorting aid conveys, day after day, into Gaza. Facing down Kahanists. But they’re Israeli citizens. So none of that is relevant. Or as meaningful “activism” as boycotting a folk band from Wisconsin

But there isn’t one, here.
Smarter people than me will write about how we got here, but one thing that’s striking about the university protests is the absence of an actual peace movement. There are pro-Israel and pro-Palestine groups, but what you don’t see is a broad movement for a full ceasefire, more
