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.
I wonder what that process is like. Do you have to go to the embassy and tell them they’re a bunch of genociders?
Edit: that’s exactly what you have to do. Here’s a bunch of accounts of the process. https://guidetorenouncing.carrd.co/
I get that individually it’s a strong protest statement but it strikes me that overall this is exactly what we don’t want people to be doing. If all the ethical and anti-Zionist Jews renounce then who will be left to vote against Netanyahu and his ilk?
You can’t vote against fascist genocidiers.
You can’t even remove them via judicial means, as netanyahu has shown.
Ethical anti Zionist Jews either stay in Israel to sabotage Israel, or leave.
Paying taxes and contributing to the Apartheid is in no way ethical when they have the option to leave and go to Europe or the USA etc.
