JAWS NYC Condemns Chauvinism and Normalization

JAWS NYC unequivocally condemns both the attendance of Andrew deBuys (AKA Rathbone) of the normalizing Doha Forum as well as his targeted outburst at a Palestinian woman who critiqued the event.

We affirm that Palestinians are the leaders in their own liberation movement; as allies, our role is one of solidarity with Palestinian resistance in its principled struggle against the zionist occupation.

JAWS recognizes that any normalization of the zionist entity is dangerous to the Palestinian struggle and has been named as such by the Palestinian resistance for generations. This includes participation in normalizing events like Doha Forum, which hosts an array of zionists to discuss the future of the zionist occupation of Palestine.

Allies in the Palestinian liberation struggle: It is our duty to affirm Palestinian resistance and to align our work with demands for anti-normalization and decolonization.

No to normalizers!
