		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you Anna for conveying the experience of Palestinians, complete or not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And, thank you for restraining yourself from invective and generalization (if you did).&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I enjoyed this. Go Anna! But she won&#039;t be the It-Girl of anti-Zionism. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For that, and fundamentally breaking this conversation loose, we wait for someone who isn&#039;t jewish to start and authorise the mobilisation of non-jews in the organised criticism of Israel. Anna&#039;s book (I&#039;ll order, Phil I hope you are getting your % from the Amazon links) is entitled &quot;Witness in Palestine: A Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories&quot;, which preserves the special jewish right to criticise and &#039;witness&#039;. But no such right is deserved, and continuing to acknowledge one reinforces the power of the everyday anti-arab chauvinism of too many jews.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;To sum up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Me - a coward, who quickly writes something on the internet and calls it a day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People like Anna - rightous Jews, heroes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No comparison.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am in awe of people like her.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Great piece.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;d also like to reinforce Otto&#039;s point, and the one made by Anna when asked where are the Jews. This is not a Jewish issue. That&#039;s the kind of thinking that got us into this mess. Americans -- all of them -- have to be allowed into this discussion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Relinguishing control of the conversation is terribly frightening to many Jews but it&#039;s got to be done. You either believe in democracy or you don&#039;t.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Go Anna.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But it&#039;s going to take more than Anna.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s funny the only difference in the way Anna is regarded for her stand, as a righetous jew by some jews and as a self hating jew no doubt by other jews..and a gentile who sees Isr-Pal the same way as Anna is that gentiles are labeled anti semites by both groups of jews.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But nevertheless, we truck on....an illegal occuption is an illegal occupation, a slo mo genocide is a slo mo genocide, a nazi is a nazi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To end this we are going to have to vote out every single AIPAC politican in congress and make sure they know that is why they are losing their office.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It begins by attacking the politicans on this issue and throwing the black is white Israel lie in their faces.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NO to US politicans who pledge alliegence to Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
