Press release from the Government of Israel
People of Earth:
Every country here has suffered the horror of war, the pain of oppression, the loss of hope and humanity that comes with conflict. Look to your history books, listen to your grandparents. All those massacres, all those pogroms, all those invasions, your enemies then were people. This time, they are not. This time they are literally The Other. They are not like us. They do not see us as people. To them we are less than animals. We are less than insects. In July 1942, Adolf Hitler called Jews a virus. Today, in 2020, those things behind that curtain are talking about us all in the same terms. They are not our friends. They want this planet, and they do not need us to still be on it. They want to end us. All of us.
People of Earth.
Against this threat, we must stand together.
We must be united.
We must act as one.
This is why today, Israel has decided yo recognise Palestine as an independent State. Our friends in our neighbouring countries including Turkey, India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia are all in support, and our long-time allies the Americans have been helpful. His Holiness The Pope has also been instrumental.
Jew or gentile, Christian or Muslim, Pagan or Athiest.
Today, we are all Jews. Today, we are all gentiles. Today, we are all humans.
