More than 200 Jewish anti-Israel protesters arrested after storming New York Stock Exchange
nypost.com

At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

Throw bibi and biden in jail and then we can talk about it.

I think we can talk about it regardless of where they are. And we should talk about it. And the more people that talk about it, the closer we get to realizing it. It will, of course, take a critical mass of people in Israel to agree, but that's exactly why you keep talking about it.

No. War crimers should be judged before we can talk about peace.

That's ludicrous. You expect me to just shut my mouth about my idea of a peaceful future just because bad things are happening now? Fuck no.

Huh no I expect you to act according to a very simple principle of justice. Bombing hospitals is against international laws and the responsible should pay. Otherwise everything you say is just demonstrative.

Okay, so let's say this war ends, there is no more genocide, Israelis and Palestinians form a single democratic state and become a model of peace for the region- but Netanyahu and Biden are never tried for war crimes.

It sounds like that would not be acceptable to you.

To me it is. To the people on the ground who lost half of their family? No fucking way. You know the slogan right. No justice no peace.

If that's acceptable to you, why can't it be discussed?

Why should this topic be silenced?

Oh come on of course it can be discussed. You can discuss it all you want. It was just a figure of speech.

What I'm saying is that it's just talk. Cheap talks.

Well maybe instead of criticizing random Lemmy users hoping for a better future of such cheap talk, you contact more prominent people and groups and criticize them for it instead.

I would start with the Arab Center in Washington, DC - https://arabcenterdc.org/resource/shifting-the-paradigm-the-one-state-solution-as-a-path-to-peace/

Then there's John Rees, founder of the Stop War Coalition - https://www.counterfire.org/article/palestine-the-only-solution-is-now-the-one-state-solution/

And then, of course, there's the Nelson Mandela Foundation - https://www.nelsonmandela.org/news/entry/the-time-for-action-is-now

MintPress founder and director and Palestinian journalist Mnard Adley discussed it. You'll want to get in touch with her - https://www.kcrw.com/culture/shows/scheer-intelligence/what-about-the-one-state-solution-with-an-equal-vote-for-every-palestinian-and-israeli

Let me know when you're done contacting all of them with what you're criticizing me for and I'll give you more names of people and organizations far more influential than me that you can contact over this.
