| Amnesty’s US director: Israel shouldn’t be Jewish state, rather ‘safe Jewish space’ — report |
| 2022-03-12 |
| [IsraelTimes] "The right of the people to self-determination and to be protected is without a doubt something that we believe in, and I personally believe that," he said, according to Jewish Insider. "We are opposed to the idea — and this, I think, is an existential part of the debate — that Israel should be preserved as a state for the Jewish people." O’Brien rejected a 2020 survey that found the vast majority of American Jews identify as "pro-Israel" and feel "attached" to the Jewish state. "I actually don’t believe that to be true," O’Brien said. "I believe my gut tells me that what Jewish people in this country want is to know that there’s a sanctuary that is a safe and sustainable place that the Jews, the Jewish people can call home." Rather than a Jewish state with a clear Jewish majority, American Jews want "a safe Jewish space," said O’Brien, who is not Jewish. "I think they can be convinced over time that the key to sustainability is to adhere to what I see as core Jewish values, which are to be principled and fair and just in creating that space." |

| #3 When I see the phrase "Safe Jewish Space," I think of Astrozionism. |

| #2 So proud we kicked Amnesty out couple of years ago. Seized their assets, froze their accounts and gave 'em a week to fcuk off to wherever they came from. |

| #1 Lot of civilians being killed in the Ukraine by both sides. Not worth your attention? Only worth your time to fund raise with the Hate America crowd. |
