US-based Jewish writer encourages other Israelis to join him in protest against Israel's actions

Avi Steinberg, an Israeli-born author, announced on Thursday that he had formally renounced his Israeli citizenship.

Justifying his decision in an article for the left-leaning news publication Truthout, Steinberg said that Israeli citizenship had “always been a tool of genocide” that legitimised settler colonialism.

“Israeli citizenship is predicated on the worst kinds of violent crimes we know of, and on a deepening litany of lies intended to whitewash those crimes,” he argued in the op-ed.

    one can think of a few European countries that owe land and reparations to their persecuted Jews. The Palestinian people, however, never owed Jews anything for the crimes committed by European antisemitism, nor do they today.

    Its really fucking bonkers that land wasn’t taken from the Germans after the war to establish a Jewish State.

    But, then again, Balfour and other non-Jewish Zionists were antisemites. They wanted to expel the Jews by any means necessary
