Sy’s Recommendations:

• I didn’t write in this newsletter last week, and I give many thanks to Jonathan for pushing us toward a healthy and truthful way to think about and emotionally process the violence in Israel. Here are a few more useful resources. This op-ed in the Irish Times by Daniel Levy and Zaha Hassan, former diplomatic advisors to Israel and Palestine respectively, explains the importance of outside countries clearly stating Israel will not have support if it continues committing war crimes. They outline the key facts everyone must acknowledge if we are to walk Israel back from the brink of acting on its truly genocidal rhetoric. This interview with Levy situates everything going on now in the context of Israel’s recent politics and decades of unconditional US support for Israel’s actions in Palestine. And if you missed the viral clip of Levy on the BBC talking about the lies the world is telling itself regarding this conflict, definitely check it out.
