\n\u200b40 Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust and 287 descendants and relatives of survivors and victims from 26 countries signed a letter\u00a0condemning Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza. \u00a0\u201cAs Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine.\u201d<\/em>This letter is a powerful and clear message from Jews around the world \u2013 Never Again <\/em>means Never Again for Anyone. The letter will also\u00a0counter <\/em>Elie Wiesel’s attempt to justify the attacks on Gaza by manipulating the legacy of the Nazi genocide<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n

As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world.<\/p>\n

We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide<\/a> of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel\u2019s abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel\u2019s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water.<\/p>\n

We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. \u201cNever again\u201d must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!<\/p>\n

2. Longest Blockade of Israeli Ship in History <\/strong><\/p>\n

ZIM ship turned away from SSA in Oakland!<\/p>\n

For four days straight the San Francisco Bay Area community blocked the Israeli ZIM ship from unloading at the SSA. \u00a0And today, we salute the rank and file workers of ILWU local 10 (Gewerkschaft der Hafenarbeiter) for standing with us against Israeli Apartheid by honoring our pickets and letting the ship go from the SSA terminal yesterday afternoon!<\/p>\n

Saturday we mobilized thousands of our community to show the world that Oakland does not welcome racism, apartheid or Zionism, from Ferguson to Palestine. \u00a0We flooded the streets and marched towards the Port only to discover that the ZIM ship decided to stay at Sea rather than dock and be confronted by the power of our numbers. \u00a0The ship attempted to dock and unload on Sunday, but within a half hour\u2019s time hundreds of us organized community pickets requesting that workers to stand with us on the side of justice and not unload the Apartheid ship. And as ILWU rank and file always have, and as they did during South African Apartheid, they demonstrated their solidarity with the global fight against oppression and honored our picket. The following Monday and Tuesday saw both an organized call to action as well as autonomous protests determined to keep the ship from being unloaded. \u00a0These efforts coupled with worker solidarity continued the success of the weekend\u2019s total blockade of the ZIM ship.<\/p>\n

Tuesday we declared a historic victory for Palestine as Oakland held down the longest blockade of an Israeli ship. \u00a0Not only did we block the boat, but we also showed the world that racist exclusionary state of Apartheid Israel has no place on our port, and will soon find that it has no place on any port on the West Coast. After being blocked from unloading at the SSA Terminal, the ZIM ship was forced to leave and unload at another Terminal where it was met with protests by autonomous activists. This even further delayed the unloading of the ship.<\/p>\n

From the use of tear gas to the training of police by Israeli military, Oakland feels firsthand the brutality of Israeli war-making. \u00a0And Palestine knows too well the role the US plays in facilitating the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinian people. \u00a0From the policing and militarization of our local communities perfected with Israeli tactics of repression to the billions that the US provides Apartheid Israel, the connections are clear and are made for us. \u00a0And over the last four days we showed the world that we stand shoulder to shoulder from Palestine to Oakland to Ferguson as we struggle bring down every wall, every Apartheid system and every racist state.<\/p>\n

Palestine will be free!
