Who would have ever guessed that New York protests of the Israeli settlements would command media attention? Well it's happening. Susan Sarandon's "representative" has told the New York Post that the star has no "ties" to Leviev, the Russian-Israeli jeweler whose gala opening on Madison Avenue Sarandon attended. Rather lame. Sarandon should disavow the criminal settlements, and their supporters, now. Though what a pleasure to see her on the defensive on the issue.
The protesters were back earlier this week, by the way. At their latest picket of the store, last Sunday, Adalah New York, debuted a new protest song, to the tune of "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel."
“Apartments for Jews only, Discrimination, sure!
He thinks Palestine's the problem, and Apartheid is the cure!”
Go you righteous Jews, go! The times they are a changin.
Yep, they're changin alright. By the way, name one person of any prominence who has associated with this boycott? Yeah, thought so. . .

"Prominence?" What does that mean? Celebrities? Rabbis? Wise souls? Jewish Voice for Peace consists of prominent Jews in my book, though perhaps not yours.
The Forward and JTA have thought the issue "prominent" enough to cover it. I agree with them.
Phil may be a little premature in his conviction that the times they are a-changin,' but I'm glad Sarandon's bona fides as a true progressive have been questioned. Crossing that picket line was a shameful act.
Her bona fides were questioned? By whom? Did you see the photos of that group? I'm sorry but 100lb retired social workers wearing Che Guevera T shirts don't do it for me . . .

They may not do it for you, but they won't stop the picketing. Get used to them.
Oh come on, even the April 1933 boycotts failed with the public . . .
