Protests Against Israeli Policies
Palestinians have been the victims of
oppression for seventy-five years, and it
has to stop.
That's why we're here, to say not in our name.
I am older than the State of Israel.
There's Jewish prayers in the background.
The sun is going down, and it's the Jewish Sabbath.
It is.
And on Shabbat,
we have to pray.
We have to
res-- we have to recommit ourselves to
justice. I believe that Judaism and Jewish
ethics, this is how I grew up thinking, are about
justice and about Rabbi Hillel's statement,
"If I am not for myself, who am I? And if
I am not... If I'm only for me,
what am I doing here?" That... I, I, I glossed over it a
little bit. And if not now, when? Now.
Peace now. Ceasefire now.
President Biden and Blinken, listen to what
people are telling you, especially the young people, and lots of
Jews.
Not in our name. Not in
our name.
