Knesset MP Ofer Cassif on the Need for Palestinian Liberation

Ofer Cassif

First of all, the banner that my friend Ayman Odeh and I held was calling for the recognition of Palestine. There was nothing else — no “genocide,” nothing. We didn’t talk, we didn’t scream, we didn’t interrupt, we didn’t hold any other slogan, just “Recognize Palestine.”

It was a protest against not only the silence of the US administration — both Joe Biden’s and Trump’s — but against its active involvement in the continuation of the genocide and the sacrifice of Israeli hostages. Trump is not a savior. He directly supported the continuation of the genocide and the sacrifice of hostages.
