The Jewish Future Demands: Not Another Bomb
Screenshot from Jewish Currents: But first, here's what the Jewish left is thinking about today. NEW FOCUS FOR IFNOTNOW: The Jewish left group IfNotNow told Jewish Currents it plans to spend the next three years focused on building Jewish communal support for blocking US weapons to Israel. It's launching a new campaign, which it's calling "The Jewish Future Demands Not Another Bomb," that will be the "umbrella" under which IfNotNow will do most of its organizing through 2029. "Building a thriving future for all begins with demanding an end to the flow of US weapons to Israel," said the group's executive director, Morriah Kaplan. IfNotNow says it has already begun organizing synagogues on the issue.
Sami from IfNotNow speaks directly to camera, with illustrations of her points superimposed at various points, including a roll call vote from the bulldozer blocking bill in the US Senate, images of destruction in Palestine and Lebanon, statements from Jewish and pro-Israel establishment organizations defending AIPACsupporting war against Iran, and headlines and polls showing growing support for an arms embargo among US Jews.

tweet from @nycmayor: Leqaa Kordia has spent nearly a year in an ICE prison for exercising her First Amendment rights in NYC & speaking out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. She was hospitalized after suffering a seizure. Now she's back in detention. This is cruel & unnecessary. Release Leqaa now.

Safety has never been achieved through violence. Shared safety though can challenge fear, distrust, and violence. Shared safety can lead to collective liberation. (7/7)
I urge you to seek alternative solutions, such as community safety initiatives, such as Community Violence Intervention teams trained in non-violence de-escalation tactics or Community Mediation Centers to resolve conflict & disagreemens. I urge you to reach out to your neighboring mosques, churches and other houses of worship to work together towards solutions that keep us all safe. (6/7)
Ask yourself - do I care about the safety of all Jews or just the ones with only European-Ashkenazi heritage? Skin color cannot be used to determine who is Jewish or not, nor who deserves to be safe in their bodies and communities. Caring for the well-being of all Jews necessitates caring for the well-being of all Black & Brown people, whether they are Jewish or not. (5/7)
All I am asking of you at this moment is that you keep in mind those of us who do not benefit from the so-called 'protection' of armed security guards and police officers. I am asking you to choose the Jewish present and future, where 1 in 7 Jews under 30 identify as non-white or multiracial and 17% of Jewish adults live in a multiracial household. And these numbers are growing. I think of my son who is an East-European Ashkenazi Jew on my wife's side and a Bene Israel Jew from Mumbai, India on my side. I think of whether he has a future in a community that doesn't have someone like him in mind. (4/7)
The reality is that security guards and law enforcement in this country learn to treat Brown and Black people as a threat. The current climate, under the Trump administration, makes it even worse, when being Brown or Black is enough of an excuse to tackle you to the ground, cuff you, and disappear you into a prison or detention center. As a Brown Jewish man, I am afraid to even walk near a synagogue, let alone go into one, at a time like this. This experience is not mine alone. It is shared by many Jews of Color across the U.S. 3/7
At a time like this, calls for more armed security and the constant presence of law enforcement at our congregations increase exponentially in our community. While I understand how security guards & law enforcement make some of us, specifically those who have benefitted from the protections of the state, feel safe, especially after such a horrifying attack, it puts many of us Black and Brown Jews, alongside our non-Jewish Black and Brown siblings, at risk of physical injury, emotional and mental duress, and possible death. (2/7)
Like many of us, I am horrified by the violence that descended upon our Australian Jewish family on Sunday. I feel the fear in my chest as I think twice about placing my Hanukkiah/Menorah near a window facing the street, out of concern that someone with ill intentions might view my family and me as a legitimate target because of it.

Our deepest commitment is to shared safety — the belief that our safety is intertwined with the safety and freedom of all people facing violence and bigotry. Rooted in that commitment, we are horrified and saddened by the attack on Sunday’s rally for the release of Israeli hostages in Boulder, CO. Our hearts are with all of those injured, as well as the broader Boulder community.  Trump and Netanyahu are already moving to exploit this act of violence – and our community’s heartbreak and fear – to further advance their own hateful, authoritarian agendas. We must refuse their destructive path, and their attempts to drive wedges between us, which will only lead to more violence. For the sake of Palestinians, Israelis, the hostages, and the safety of US Jews, we continue to call for an immediate end to the Israeli government’s campaign of bombing and starvation in Gaza.  We choose the path of shared safety and stand firmly on the side of life, here in the US, in Israel-Palestine, and around the world.
