New Means Being afraid does not mean you're under attack On those condemning anti-genocide protests, but not genocide JOSHUA P. HILL APR 22, 2024 D Share Almost three years ago, in May 2021, I found myself at an pro-Palestine protest in New York City. We were at the Israeli Consulate, thousands of people, rallying against the repeated attacks on the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. In Palestine, protests were happening as well, folks resisting displacement and ethnic cleansing and the attempt to force Palestinians out of the neighborhood. That spring the call to action from the people of Sheikh Jarrah became a rallying cry heard around the world. In New York, we responded again and again. But this particular day, I got scared. I distinctly remember being on the corner opposite the consulate building, in a group of protesters chanting. As I've written about before, I grew up in a Jewish community generally saturated with Zionism. It was just a fact of life that our people had an inalienable right to live in what is now the state of Israel. By the time of this protest three years ago I had unlearned a good deal of that; I was certainly on the side waving Palestinian flags. But I learned, that day, that I hadn't unlearned everything.
