From Healing through Palestinian Jewish Solidarity: Hadar Cohen – Into Healing S1, Ep.4:

“What does Jewish safety actually mean, and what does that look like? My personal position is that if we don’t have an answer to that question, we’re not going to be able to dismantle Zionism, no matter how much we try, because Zionism is giving an answer. […]

I think all Palestinian scholars were reckoning with this, reading Edward Said. It’s so interesting—some of my Palestinian friends and I joke sometimes that if Edward Said were alive today, he would be completely cancelled.

So I think we can’t leave aside Jewish trauma and antisemitism outside of the conversation; this is part of the conversation.

[…] I think Palestinian trauma is so similar to Jewish trauma. If you look at it from a somatic and spiritual perspective, of course it makes sense, because in some ways there was a transference of trauma.

All the trauma that Jews were carrying was transferred onto Palestinian trauma, right? Exile, displacement, massacre—all of these things. Even Gaza, which you can think of as a concentration camp. In all of these different ways, there is clearly a transference of trauma happening.”

From A Journey from Mormonism to Liberation: Julie Tighe – Into Healing S3, Ep.5:

“I do want more people to learn about what’s going on and to join these movements. It’s so hard to join—there’s so much fear—and I think it’s important to take every opportunity.

If you’re out there, if you’re on the fence, if you don’t quite know what to think or what to believe, just put yourself in those shoes. Do you think your kids deserve to be starved or bombed? And if you can’t accept that, can’t sit with that, but you’re still too afraid to say something, just make the declaration to somebody.

Make it to me. Make it to you. Just message me: “Hey, you changed my mind.” Because getting the energy out there is so important. It’s so important.”
