The Jewish anti-Zionist network is doing a petition to support the U.N. General Assembly president's call for sanctions, divestment, what have you against Israel for brutal criminal behavior in West Bank. Very matter-of-fact:
common sense. Israel's policies have been widely described in these
terms by, among others, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter,
Jamal Zahalka, Azmi Bishara, Gideon Levy, John Dugard, Omar Barghouti,
Danny Rubinstein, Amira Haas, Shulamit Aloni, Meron Benvenisti, and Ami
Ayalon.
Jews Sans Fronteres is also on the case here. General Assembly president Brockmann urged the United Nations
to "consider following the lead of a new generation of
civil society, who are calling for a similar [South Africa style] non-violent campaign of
boycott, divestment and sanctions to pressure Israel to end its
violations."
I note with joy Brockmann's declaration of a new generation of civil society, reflected in the international character of the list above. This is our great strength: we are multi-ethnic, multireligious, struggling forward toward a new strengthening of global institutions… On a related point, I'd add that on today's BBC radio news hour they had a report on protests all over Greece because Greek police had killed a 15-year-old kid. That is the democratic condition: people contest their own governments. And in the West Bank hooligans are shooting Palestinians, and the armed forces of the Jewish state are enforcing land confiscation and human rights abuses. You'd be p—ed too.
