Judith Butler: "October 7 was an act of armed resistance"

“I think it is more honest and historically correct to say that the uprising of October 7 was an act of armed resistance."

Judith Butler, a prominent theorist and member of Jewish Voice for Peace, framed Hamas’s attack on southern Israel as an act of armed resistance, but she advocated for room for debate around the manner in which it conducted the attacks.

She added: “You can be for or against Hamas, but let us at least call it armed resistance, and then we can have a debate about whether we think it’s right or whether they did the right thing.”
