Chris Romberg

Chris Romberg is a retired army colonel and descendant of Holocaust survivors who has spoken publicly and unequivocally against Israeli state violence, including the genocide in Gaza. Drawing on both his military background and his family’s history of surviving genocidal persecution, Romberg has condemned Israel’s actions as grave violations of international law and fundamental human rights. Romberg’s intervention is part of a broader pattern of Jewish refusal to excuse or obscure state violence, and his testimony carries particular weight given his professional experience and personal lineage.
