Since October 7th, the slogan has been regularly used by anti-Israel activists and organizations on college campuses and elsewhere, and in numerous instances, it has been directed maliciously at Jews and others. In many ways, the term is similar to slogans advocating for other political causes, including &ldquo…

Este ataque, que se produjo en una mañana de Shabat de la festividad de Simjá Torá, tomó a Israel por sorpresa. Los hombres armados masacraron sin piedad…
El eslogan es profundamente problemático en dos niveles. En primer lugar, afirmar que la existencia de Israel representa el colonialismo es anular la conexión histórica de los judíos con la tierra de Israel. Los judíos han vivido, se han sentido vinculados y han anhelado la repatriación a Israel durante miles de años, incluso en sus oraciones, liturgia y rituales diarios. No se puede separar al pueblo judío de la tierra. Por tanto,…
Eslogan: "Resistencia por cualquier medio necesario"
