In May 2023, Nikki Glaser performed for the Zionist entity. In response to anti-Zionists encouraging her to cancel her show due to artwashing occupation, she stated, "I just want to tell jokes for people who want to hear them".
Creative Community for Peace Letter:
A staunchly pro-Zionist organisation, the Creative Community for Peace is on a mission to “galvanize support against the cultural boycott of Israel" and therefore working against anti-genocide and anti-apartheid protestors who want a free, liberated Palestine and the end of the 75+ year Israeli-occupation of Palestinian lands.
The Creative Community for Peace supports Israel by promoting dangerous Zionist propaganda that seeks to demonise Palestinians and those advocating for their liberation, defaming and smearing them as "calling for the murder of Jews everywhere” — both across its website and its social medias.
It also claims that Israel should and would take "the necessary steps to defend itself,” asserts Israel’s right to exist and declares the very crucial, compassion-driven anti-Zionist campaign as a “misinformation campaign spearheaded by Iran” — despite the very real, very well-documented genocide that has claimed the lives of over 35,000 RECORDED Palestinian deaths, without accounting for the ones that Israel has made a disconcerted effort to conceal.
These are crude attempts at white-washing and sanitising both history and the present through a revisionist Zionist lens that erases the 75+ years of subjugation, torture, assault, murder, ethnic cleansing and systematic erasure of Palestinians by Zionist machinations, Israel and even Israelis themselves.
By participating in such revisionist history —and signing their letter — this individual is actively perpetuating the oppression and marginalisation of Palestinians and are therefore complicit in the promotion of the Zionist agenda seeking to whitewash the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people while also vilifying those who advocate for their rights and liberation.
Visited Israel or Supported 'Birthright' Trips:
By visiting Israel, individuals actively endorse and support a regime built on systemic oppression and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians through settler colonial terrorism. These visitors are complicit in legitimizing and normalizing a brutal apartheid system recognized and condemned by numerous international bodies, including the United Nations, the ICJ, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. [1] [2] [3]
Visitors to Israel tacitly approve severe restrictions on Palestinian movement, land confiscations, home demolitions, and the devastating blockade on Gaza, which has created catastrophic humanitarian conditions. These are not mere allegations but documented realities. The apartheid system privileges Israeli settlers while subjecting Palestinians to systemic discrimination and violence, with segregated roads, military checkpoints, and a separation barrier that fragments Palestinian communities and restricts their freedom. [4] [5] [6]
Tourism economically supports the state, indirectly funding the military occupation and the infrastructure of apartheid, including illegal settlements and state violence. Without acknowledging or engaging with the Palestinian experience, visitors normalize and legitimize these oppressive practices. [7] The financial impact of tourism cannot be understated. [8] Visitors who spend money in Israel bolster the systems of oppression that deny Palestinians their basic human rights. This financial support funds the Israeli military and infrastructure supporting illegal settlements. [9]
Programs like Birthright trips further legitimize the subjugation of Palestinians by promoting a one-sided narrative that erases the realities of occupation and apartheid, falsely presenting Israel as a safe and welcoming homeland for Jews while ignoring Palestinian suffering and dispossession. [10] [11] [12]
Visitors to Israel without a critical perspective are complicit in the violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They lend credibility to a regime widely condemned for its discriminatory practices and human rights violations. By choosing to visit Israel, these individuals endorse a state that systematically violates international law and human rights, contributing to the ongoing suffering and dispossession of the Palestinian people.
