#Passover begins this Saturday evening. If you are a #Jew and you aren't calling out #Israel's #genocide and other #atrocities, you are no better than those doing the killing.
The #Torah may have once commanded Jews to wipe out the Canaanites, Amalekites, and the Midianites, but certainly no Jew today is equating #Palestinians with the Canaanites.
Even if there's a shared ancestry. An ancestry I might add that also includes #Lebanese, #Jordanians, as well as #Ashkenazi and #Sphardic Jews as well.

Instructions:
ABBREVIATED RECIPE:
Marinade chicken 12 - 24 hrs. Cook in 2 batches. Whisk sauce, rest 1 hr, warm just before serving. Smother chicken, serve!
FULL RECIPE:
Marinade - Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat then refrigerate to marinate for 12 - 24 hours (Note 2).
Sauce - Put the sauce ingredients in a microwaveable bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside for 1 hour + (garlic flavour melds). Just before serving, microwave for 40 seconds to warm (but not hot) then give it a good whisk. Taste and add more lemon for tangier, or more water to loosen (some yogurts are thicker than others).
Cooking - Drain off excess marinade from the chicken. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non stick pan over high heat. Place half the chicken in and cook for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on each side until golden. Remove onto a plate.
Repeat - Scrape out / quickly wipe loose black bits out of the pan. Reheat remaining oil and cook remaining chicken. Rest for 2 minutes.
Serving - Spread half the sauce in a shallow bowl. Use a spatula to transfer the chicken onto the yogurt. Spoon over remaining sauce, finish with a swish of olive oil and sprinkle of parsley. Serve!
Listening to WITNESS right now. the pictures in the video and the content can be very triggering because there are spoken parts by survivors of the genocide.
"As a first-generation Armenian-American whose family was directly affected by the Lebanese Civil War and Armenian Genocide, composer, documentarian, and Pulitzer Prize finalist Mary Kouyoumdjian is eminently qualified to use her skills to create an artistic portrait of the horrors of violent conflict. Likewise, the legendary San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet have used their considerable compositional and performing brilliance to a variety of genres and subject matter. So, it’s practically inevitable that their new collaboration, WITNESS, is a stunning and profoundly moving tribute to the victims of war and genocide."
"There's no point to "peace" talks with #israel. They'll just kill anyone and anything with #American #money backing them up. I'm not even saying this because I hate israel — I legitimately don't see a point if they can kill #Palestinians and #Lebanese without anyone lifting a finger to counter it. The only #solution is the #dissolution of Israel as a nation state and the abolishing #zionism from the face of this #earth."
