Jewish Speaker Criticizes Birthright Israel and Palestinian Displacement

I'm Jewish enough for a free trip to Israel, and in my early twenties I went to Israel, and right when I got off the plane, people told me, "You could become a citizen within twenty-four hours. You're Jewish enough.

You should move here." What I didn't know is that when Israel became a state, I thought that all the governments just gave Jewish people money to buy houses. They bought out Palestinians, and the neighborhoods naturally segregated. Not that people were held by gunpoint, not that people were

killed in the streets, not that people have the keys to their house that they w-- can't even walk by anymore. I didn't understand that it's just textbook colonization that took place, with ending up in open air prison because people can't even leave the neighborhood they're forced into.

That's equal to or worse than a concentration camp.

I didn't understand. I didn't understand, and they almost got me.

I'm ethical as fuck, and they almost got me.

Jews need to start talking about birthright trip.

Any American or European right now can go to Israel for free on a trip off of whose money? And go tour Israel to move there in stolen houses.

I apologize for my ignorance. Me and my Jewish friends have talks.

I'm not friends with people who believe in this ideology. It's racism.

I recently had a rabbi's wife call me over and over again 'cause she heard I was in town. My husband speaks out against Palestine, and she wanted to convert me into her world. I told her I don't practice Judaism, and we won't be good friends,

but she wouldn't stop calling and texting me because she wanted to convert me because I have good blood. In which I say, fucking yuck. I'm not friends with people based on their blood.

We're not preserving a culture. I don't practice that culture.

That's just racial. It's just racist. And what's happening in Gaza is worse than the Holocaust.

Concentration camps suck. Prison camps suck.

This open air prison that's multi-generational, it's gotta go.
