Wheel of Justice Bus and More Jews Are Dissenting Against Zionism
By Mazin Qumsiyeh
ccun.org, September 27, 2007
Three articles, a video, and an action alert.
The three articles are about the how more Jews are dissenting, about how Abbas should stop the charade of diplomacy, about Bush's Zionist nominee to Attorney General. The brief but excellent video is at one of The wheels of Justice bus stops. The action alert is to support a meeting of Palestinian Americans.
About Ahmedinijad's appearance at Columbia University, all I have to ask is: can you imagine if Bush, Guiliani, Clinton, Barak, Olmert and other war mongers/war criminals/war pundits would be questioned openly like that? Alas, we have to rely on the internet to get the facts out.
Articles
1) (must read) For American Jews, Dissent Against Israel Has Become Mainstream By Tony Karon (I would say against Zionism not "against Israel" or Israelis - Mazin) http://www.alternet.org/story/62618/
2) Puppet Leader by Gideon Levy
"Mahmoud Abbas has to stay home. As things stand right now, he must not go to Washington. Even his meetings with Ehud Olmert are gradually turning into a disgrace and have become a humiliation for his people. Nothing good will come of them. It has become impossible to bear the spectacle of the Palestinian leader's jolly visits in Jerusalem, bussing the cheek of the wife of the very prime minister who is meanwhile threatening to blockade a million and a half of his people, condemning them to darkness and hunger." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/objects/pages/PrintArticleEn.jhtml?itemNo=906199
3) The Jewish Week weighs in on the New Jewish Attorney General Nominee: http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/newscontent.php3?artid=14552
(could it be that because this guy is a Zionist, he is not "controversial" for Congressional confirmation just like Chertoff for homeland security, who ended up stiffing US Companies for no bid contracts given to Israeli companies to build the barrier between the US and Mexico - Mazin)
