My name is Lindsey Weiner and I am a proud Antizionist Jew, historian, mother, wife, and professional rescuer. I have been a lifeguard with American Red Cross for 18 years. I am a member of Jewish Voice for Peace @jvpny and @ifnotnoworg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stand here today to make a plea of humanity to law.The following is a quote from Benjamin Ferencz, a Jew, and the chief prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials: \u201cThere is no statute of limitations for crimes against humanity\u201d. History will judge the actions of you and me and the entire world in this present time. The lessons we as Jews learned from the Shoah, was Never again for anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel is a failed occupation a failed idea that Palestine was a land without a people for a people with out a land. Over the last almost 11 months and 75 years we bear
witness to the genocide of the Pal estinian people. For me, the cracks in the farce of Zionism came when I sat down countless Friday evenings in 2017 in the home of my Palestinian and Bosnian friends in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia and listened while they welcomed me, fed me and treated me like a member of the family. We listened to the Yemeni Jewish female group AWA among others.

Over the last almost 11 months I have experienced the most antisemitism in my life from my fellow Jews even my own family members have attempted to erase my Jewish identity for supporting a ceasefire in Palestine and an end to the occupation and apartheid.

As fellow antizionist Jew Amanda Gelender says, \u201cWe must dissolve the idea that Jewish protection could ever stem from another people\u2019s massacre: It\u2019s impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot compartmentalize genocide, nor would I want to. We have seen Aaron Bushnell\u2019s last words and actions will haunt us forever, \u201cI WILL NO LONGER BE COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE\u201d What will it take? How many bodies is enough to grant the people of Palestine humanity? The Talmud tells us that whoever saves one life saved the world entire. Being Pro Palestinian in this moment is the most Jewish
thing I can do and I will never stop speaking up!!

The Talmud says that one should let themself be killed rather than kill another – \u201cFor why do you think that your blood is redder?\u201d

Permanent Ceasefire Now!!!!! End the Occupation! End the apartheid! Arms Embargo Now!
