Jewish and Palestinian community leaders share their feelings about Israel and Gaza. No group is a monolith: Perspectives varied within communities as much as between them.
For those with ties to Israel and Gaza, this past week has been a nightmare. Once again, a region that has seen too much violence is in the throes of it. Jewish and Palestinian Americans have been praying for the safety of family members and friends, mourning the loss of loved ones and going to bed fearful of what the next day will bring. To understand how those in Southern California are processing the crisis, The Times reached out to a variety of Palestinian and Jewish community leaders.
—Amani Barakat, Palestinian activist Over the years I have come to believe that to truly honor and love Israel, one must hold it to its own greatest aspirations, actively opposing policies that undermine Israel’s Jewish and democratic commitments. As such, I am an outspoken opponent of the occupation and Israel’s right-wing, ultra-nationalist, and now messianic government.
