"Jerusalem has sinned greatly, therefore she is become a mockery"

if you want to talk to me about "children [having] gone away, captives before the foe", talk to me about the ~300 Palestinian children in Israeli prisons who have been denied legal representation and subjected to physical abuse and solitary confinement. if you want to talk about "[shedding] . . . the blood of the righteous", talk to me about Razan Al-Najar, the 21-year-old nurse who was killed by Israeli forces while attempting to minister aid in the Gaza Strip. if you want to talk about how "enemies are now the masters" and "foes are at ease", if you want to talk about "oracles of delusion and folly", talk about Zionist politicians courting anti-Semitic Evangelicals who only support the State of Israel because they believe its existence will usher in the Apocalypse. if you want to talk about people who become "fugitives and wanderers", a people driven from the land where they lived and denied a return, talk about the Nakba and the illegal settlements that continue to this day. there is no room for apartheid, no room for colonialism, no room for white supremacy, no room for Zionism in my Judaism. i know what i'm fasting for this #TishaBAv, and it isn't the destruction of the Jewish temple
