[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I was the author of the post people have been responding to positively (thanks) — I do think it's important to point out that this isn't, like, some radical stance to take within the Jewish community, either, and the reason I haven't tried to funnel donations for Palestine through my synagogue is because it seems utterly unnecessary, not because I don't think it'd be well received.

My synagogue is also taking a solidarity trip to Israel in April (that I'm not going on) that will include meetings with Palestinians in East Jerusalem to talk about the West Bank, and it's hosted multiple events by Israeli groups that are actively working to change the direction of Israeli politics. The vast majority of American Jews support a Palestinian state and an end to the occupation, with polls often finding more support for those ideas among Jews than among non-Jews in the U.S.

So since I'm not the only one who detected an edge of aggression in OP's question, I figured I'd mention that plenty of "local Jews" also fervently want to see an end to suffering in Gaza (and a release of hostages held there by Hamas, who are surely suffering as well).[/quote]
