West Side Highway is battleground in the Jewish civil war

A banner drop this morning over New York City's West Side Highway,
carried out by members of Jews Against the Occupation/NYC, declared
"Jews Say: End Israel's War on Gaza NOW!" Says the press release:  "This action by Jewish New
Yorkers continued the wave of increasingly public Jewish solidarity
with the Palestinians… The banner… expanded the public presence
of the many New York Jews who strongly disagree with the self-appointed
community spokespeople who have repeatedly expressed support for the
bombing and invasion of Gaza. 'We are standing up for justice,' said
Niuta Teitelboim, one of the JATO/NYC activists, 'which is a Jewish
tradition that many Jewish organizations seem to have abandoned.  Too
many have vocally endorsed a war which has involved a continuous string
of Israeli war crimes…'"
