Amid Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, the Jewish voices offering nuance — and dissent — are more important than ever
On the morning of Oct. 8, the day after the deadly Hamas attacks in Israel, Eli Spiegel was reeling from the news of the massacre.
“What we were witnessing was horrific and intense,” he told the Star. Yet, when he opened Instagram, he didn’t find people talking about the violence that was unfolding, but instead expressing support for Palestinian resistance.
When he wrote a post suggesting that people leave space for others to grieve before waving flags and chanting slogans, he found a handful of people being hateful, mocking him.
I don’t know how many “Nuanced Jews” make up the diaspora in North America but there sure seems to be a lot of them.
