Letter from Rabbi Alissa Wise, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), USA
(Extracts)
2.4.2018
... No no no no no.
1,400 Palestinians were injured and 18 were killed in Gaza - 
nonviolent protesters shot by Israeli soldiers during the 
#MarchForReturn on Friday.
The Israeli military evidently believes that any time Palestinians 
assert their basic rights in any way, they will be considered violent, 
and met with deadly violence. This cannot stand...
We will not sit quiet while the IDF murders Palestinians demanding 
their rights.
It feels impossible that this should be true. Like Sharpeville, Selma, 
or Kent State, again and again into 2018.
Because I know in my heart that the right to peaceful protest is 
sacrosanct. The biggest and boldest mobilizations of my lifetime are 
rolling into the streets. It’s a truly beautiful thing.
These protesters - people just like you and me - prove that there’s 
another way, one we have to recommit to today.
I think the only way truly forward is to recognize that there is a 
root cause: 70 years of Nakba.
After all, that’s the reason 15,000 people were marching in the first 
place.
The catastrophe of Palestinian dispossession and expulsion by the 
Israeli government has gone on 70 years too long. And the 
#MarchForReturn is about making good on the undeniable, basic right of 
Palestinians, and all people, to live freely in their homelands...
