This made my day: the 10 Jews who chained themselves across the driveway of the Israeli consulate in L.A. as 50 others demonstrated. This is huge. We're with you brothers and sisters, here on the east coast–like a tree that stands beside the waaa–aa-ter, we will not be moved!
Here's the clan that organized it, International anti-Zionists. Here's pragprogress at dailykos inspired by the event–I love to hear other people's awakenings, the more rudimentary the better– to define anti-Zionism: "myself, I see Zionism as a form of nationalism and I believe that the
future has to be about the abolition of all forms of nationalism in
favor of a global consciousness that says that all forms of injustice
and human suffering are equally abhorrent regardless of where they
occur and to whom they are directed." Note to wife: these are all antiZionists. Not posts.
One was 72 years old. Another, Lisa Adler, is a veteran of New York's historic org, JATO, Jews Against the Occupation (these are the folks who made me Jewish again!). She invokes the Nakba: "While the end of the siege on Gaza is our most immediate priority,
this is only the latest chapter in Palestinians' 60 plus year
experience of occupation and ethnic cleansing. Peace and justice in the
region will only come when Palestinians have freedom and control their
own destiny."
