“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” – James Baldwin, 1980
The second half of this chant was inspired by the Jewish activists in North America working so hard to make their voices for peace heard in October 2023, saying ‘not in my name’ and calling desperately on the US government to stop supporting the genocide being carried out by Israel in this moment. Our hearts are with our Palestinian friends, and also with our Israeli and Jewish friends around the world. We must all call out for this massacre to stop. So many of our governments are complicit, and we must keep calling on them to stop their support.
Many thanks to Jewish Voice for Peace for sharing pictures of their urgent, inspiring and ongoing actions. You can connect with them here:
