I hope Naomi Klein’s words spur calls for a Gaza ceasefire and justice for Palestinians

As an American Jew, I found Naomi Klein’s article deeply inspiring (We need an exodus from Zionism, 24 April). At a time when my faith feels mangled from the ongoing genocide that a nation is committing against an oppressed population, and my religion is levied as a weapon against my peace activism, Naomi reminds me that there is a path forward through Judaism. I hope conflicted Jews read her words and call for ceasefire and justice.

• In October 2023, Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and Scotland’s Humza Yousaf, who have both been under attack recently, were the only European leaders to unequivocally call for a Gaza ceasefire. Shame on the others, including Keir Starmer.
